Gee Gee's Pizza, Grill, and Arcade

This review is for the Arcade (not the Pizza). Gee Gee's was a once storied arcade, connected to Gee Gee's Pizza on the Manasquan macadam beside the beach. For years and years, it had been a great place for all ages, especially young children up through the teenage years. You don't find many arcades nowadays, especially ones on the beach! This one used to have all kinds of different machines and games... classic coin push machines, shooting video games, driving/racing games, ski ball, a popcorn scrambler game with a basket, Harpoon Lagoon, a weird game to make a videogame character jump across buildings using a large control lever... all tied to tickets to be used at the classic prize counter where nothing amounts to more than a few dollars (often cents) of value. Gee Gee's was your quintessential 1980s/90s retro experience packaged up in a small, claustrophobically charming spot beside the ocean. And then came 2023. Sadly, they gutted the entire operation. They took out all the varied kinds of games in exchange for ubiquitous, homogenous, soul-sucking claw machines, none of which are cheap to play. The zany prize counter got traded in for a bunch of hemp oil products. I really don't get it. Not sure who the core audience is that they think they are appealing to, but the fun factor certainly went out the window. Shame on you, Gee Gee's. Make Gee Gee's Great Again! #MGGGA

The food was great and affordable, the atmosphere is great and the people there are super nice. Will be going back soon, on my next trip up there from NC, which hopefully will be in a few weeks. Kid-friendliness: The kids enjoyed the arcade that's with it.

Pretty much the worst food I've ever had. I'm not expecting miracles on the boardwalk but the chicken sandwich had a piece of chicken that was thin as a sheet of paper and roughly a third of the size of the bun. The chicken fingers were edible but generally tasteless, and the fries were soggy and just disgusting. Threw out roughly 98% of the 3 pounds of fries they give you, so at least there is some quantity (can't say the same for the meager 3 chicken finger). Go literally anywhere else.
