THROWBACKS

Love the pizza here! Bartenders are super nice and lots to do/watch.

5/17/26 Sunday, Late afternoon.. We walked in to check out some games, skeeball in particular, and definitely get a few drinks. Walked up to the bar after looking at the skeeball machine to ask if it was working and to order some drinks. There were about 5 people sitting all together at the end of the bar all drinking and talking. One customer was talked with the bartender. Saw the bartender serve another customer then went back to talking with the customer. She didn’t even acknowledge us even though we were less than 10 feet away at the bar. At first I thought she was taking an order but then it became obvious she was just having a conversation and playing on her phone. We sat there for about another 5 to 7 minutes waiting for her to even look in our direction. She didn’t.. We walked out but I was polite, I said by. We’ll probably never be back. Lame experience…

Love this place! So much fun and the bartenders are sooooo cool!

Not willing to return

Love throwbacks

Christine is the BESTTTTTTTTTT!!!!! Her hospitality is PHENOMENAL! She makes you feel like it’s party time even on a monday. She is genuinely the sweetest person ever! Alex too!! He keeps the energy PUMPINGGGGG!!!! We love the staff here at throwbacks they ALWAYS make it a good time. Once again, Thank you Christine and Alex for making a Monday a great time!!!

Mid afternoon I stop by to grab pizza and a beer. Waitress tells me there's no pizza bc the dough is frozen and there's no lime for the beverage she already poured plus over 30mon wait for anything else on the menu bc there was one or two orders ahead of me. I don't know if it was personal bc the other table had pizza and food.

We ordered drinks, gumbo, chicken and waffles. We also ordered the lobster Mac. Everything was excellent including the waitress. We have eaten here was before and we have yet to be disappointed. Recommend trying The Bayou for your eating pleasure. Located on 1st Street in downtown Sanford.

If you’re looking for a place in Sanford where you can drink like an adult but play video games like you’re 12 again, Throwbacks is your spot. I walked in, saw FREE arcade games, and immediately knew I wasn’t leaving for at least three hours or until someone unplugged the machines. The drinks? Cheap. Like “did they forget to charge me?” cheap. I had to double-check the receipt to make sure I didn’t accidentally order a kid’s menu lemonade. And the food? Exactly what you want at a place like this. Not fancy. Not complicated. Just good. The kind of food that hits perfectly after a couple drinks and three rounds of Pac-Man abuse. Now let’s talk about the real MVP: Kristine — the best bartender in the building, the city, probably the state. She’s fast, funny, remembers everyone, and pours like she’s trying to fix your whole week. If you go and she’s working, consider yourself blessed. If she’s not working… honestly just come back when she is. Overall, Throwbacks is the perfect mix of nostalgia, cheap drinks, good food, and Kristine being an absolute legend behind the bar. Highly recommend. If you see me there losing to a 10-year-old at Street Fighter, mind your business.

Great place for a drink and games. Friday and Saturday nights are pretty wild!

Fun games & great bartender Amanda!

I came in earlier today to watch some football and have a few drinks after a rough week. I walk in and there was one bartender behind the bar, I think her name is Angela, idk, but she sucked. I sat there for like 5-10 minutes while she talked to some people about zodiac signs or some shit, then she went to the end of the bar, sat down, and started eating. The other bartender walked out from the back and immediately noticed I didn’t have a drink in front of me. She was very speedy with getting me a drink when she saw I didn’t have one in front of me. Her name is Christine, I’ve seen her in here a few times, I didn’t have to tell her what I wanted cause she already knew. Anyways, I like this place but if that other girl is working again I won’t go in anymore.

Not a full-fledged arcade really but it’s lots of fun to see and play some older arcade and video games, including skee ball Ots also a great place to watch sports Get some Jell-O shots! Then try the four player touchscreen games located on the large cocktail table

Such a cool vibe! Love the arcade and the bar staff is great! Amanda especially is soo nice and hospitable. Always makes you feel at home!

Go for the drinks, not the food. 🤷🏻
