Overall, The Rec Room at Royalmount is described as a large, lively arcade and dining spot that works well for families and friends, with a wide range of arcade games including VR, a bracelet and points system, and convenient food and drinks. Reviewers praise the variety of games, the fun atmosphere, and the option to spend hours with affordable unlimited play packages, while noting some concerns about price, occasional game malfunctions, and the ticket rewards being ordinary or not always worth it. Food receives mixed feedback, with some meals praised for quality and portions and others criticized as overpriced or inconsistent, including reports of slow or inattentive service at times, and a few menu items that disappointed. The bar service is frequently mentioned as slow or disorganized during busy periods, though the staff generally come across as friendly and helpful, and improvements have been observed with opening glitches and the new layout. Overall, it is seen as a strong entertainment choice in Montreal for families and groups, with potential for great birthday parties and events if game maintenance and service logistics are kept up.
OMG! Mon conjoint & moi n'avions aucune attente & nous avons tellement été agréablement surpris de l'accueil, du service & de la qualité de la nourriture ( jalape?o frits, tacos aux crevettes & fish & chip). Un gros merci pour cette superbe expérience!!
Had a great time here with the family. Kids especially loved it. Food was amazing & so was the service. The place is very clean & loved that they had antibacterial wipes all around. The games were fun & bright & the current promotion for 3 hours of endless play was great.
Arcade itself is great, but the restaurant staff literally ran away to hide in the back to not serve our table.
We were a group of 6, hostess sat us down, gave us the menu & left. After 10 minutes of nobody coming to see us, we go see the hostess & ask if we could order, she says'okay wait' & takes her stuff & goes to the back, ASSUMINGLY getting a waiter to take our order. Time passes by & slowly all the floor staff gather all to the back & hide. Only the bar tender comes out from time to time as he had clients at his bar. At some point another floor staff comes out so we go see him & ask if we could order, he replies'let me try to find someone for you' then dissapears into the back again. Another 10 minute passes & we decide to go see the bartender to ask if we could order, he also replies'let me try to go find someone', then goes to the back where we can clearly see him try to convince someone to come serve our table, which nobody does. He then comes back & says'sorry nobody is available at the moment, i guess I can take your order'. From there we decide to leave as clearly nobody wanted to do their job. After we left & continued playing in the arcade, we saw 1 staff member poking their head out of their back area & comes out with the rest of the staff. Clearly everybody was hiding to not work, we could see them gathered behind the frosted window doing nothing.
At the time of our arrival there was 5 people at the bar & 1 table on the floor. The entire staff was on the floor just chatting, then all dissapeared to the back as soon as they saw a new table.
Terrible, I hope management finds a better, more competent team who isn't lazy & undeserving of their jobs.
There were quite a few issues during our visit that impacted the experience. First, we were seated directly next to the stage. Despite the restaurant being mostly empty, our request to move was denied, which was disappointing.
Service was also lacking. Our server didn't come by for over 20 minutes-not even to take a drink or popcorn order. Partway through our visit, his shift ended, but no one informed us. We were left confused when we couldn't find him anymore.
We ordered several items from the shareables menu: the giant pretzel, lettuce wraps, jumbo chicken wings, & loaded nachos. While we also received a calamari plate by mistake, which we were charged for, all the appetizers were delicious. Most of our group ordered burgers for their mains. While the chicken sandwiches were tasty, all of the burgers were burned & had a strong burnt taste. Mine was so overcooked it had to be remade-& even then, I ended up not eating it. This was extremely disappointing. On a positive note, the mini desserts were enjoyable.
Overall, I'd return only for the shareables or non-grilled items. I wouldn't recommend the burgers or anything off the grill based on this experience

This is the best arcade ice ever went to. This place is very big. There are advanced vr games & everything is quick & fast! With one tap of you bracelet & the game is on! Amazing experience
Even though the server was super nice & helpful, it did not compensate for the fact that the food was absolutely horrendous. I don't even understand that it got on the menu. The fish tacos were both bland & overly spicy & the burger my husband ordered was way too sweet.
The music, added to the noise from the arcades was too loud, & made it almost impossible to hear each other while eating.
The arcade part was alright. Some games were pretty fun, so that was nice!
