Joeys store is top notch. Prices are fair and theres a great atmosphere in the place. Kid friendly.

Quit going to GameStop. This place is everything a game store should be and more. Great staff/owner. Amazing quality for all resales.

You never know what gems youll find here! Definitely stop by if youre into retro games as they have a great selection, plus some original consoles (Wii, PlayStation, etc) or 3rd party consoles (SNES/NES/Genesis machines, etc).

Locally-owned video game store with a wide selection of games from all console generations, including older generations such as XBOX 360, Nintendo GameCube GameBoy, and SEGA. Also, Stomping Grounds has a better selection, and lower prices, than GameStop!

Knowledgeable and honest staff. Joey will give it to you straight and always set realistic expectations. Great spot for games, MTG and other fun things too !

Knowledgeable folks, good customer service, great selection of retro titles at very reasonable prices.

Small shop but it had a lot of video games at decent prices. Not the best selection of board games but they had some good ones. The shop was a little messy but I think they were in the process of doing inventory at the time. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable.

Super cool game shop! I was impressed with how many retro games and even just game souvenirs (e.g. a frickin portal gun) they had. Fairly priced tooOh and they also have newer games and consoles too, I got a used switch here that works very well so far!

Great store keeping gaming alive, for young and old alike. Highly recommended!

Joey runs a gaming store correctly. Classic and modern video games, board games, collectables, magic the gathering (tm) as well as snacks and drinks for in house gamers. This up and coming game store is a great place to get what you need. If they dont have it, they can usually find it. Gaming tables available & FNM should be coming soon as well. Great staff and selection, cant say enough!

Wide variety of games, consoles, and collectibles. Store was cramped and messy, but they are in the middle of a move, so that will change soon!

Good selection of used games, from NES to PS4, and staff who are friendly and informed. Prices are fair and low especially so when compared to chain stores. You can find everything from Final Fantasy X-2 to Doom (2016) to Dreamcast controllers. Having bought a dozen or so games here myself, they have all worked perfectly, and the 7 day warranty would give ample time for replacement if they didnt.Tabletop fans, TCG collectors, PlayStation enthusiasts and old school Nintendo players all have something fun to find here, with the bonus of a nice shopping environment as well. Game stop employees would never entertain my Final Fantasy V related banter, and so Stomping Grounds is reccomended by proxy.

Always find something I need there.

Huge selection of games and collectables, and super friendly staff. Anything I need Ill come back here for. Support local games stores!!

Super nice owner and staff! Great prices and excellent selection! I like that it is locally owned and operated, and want to support and shop local. They are so welcoming and highly knowledgeable! A true hidden gem!

Great experience and customer service.

Very reasonable prices, really nice selection, and friendly staff.

The staff handled my questions and helped me with getting what I needed in a timely manner. Prices are great for Magic the Gathering booster packs

As a retro game collector it is nice to have a local store that is knowledgeable and has a wide variety of products I hit it up almost every week and every time theres something new to help me go broke.

A hidden gem! If you love games, anything nerdy, they got you covered. Fantastic staff, fantastic stuff!

Very nice owners and good selection of games. They also will buy games from you if you have some as well as fix old discs (for a small fee). I always look forward to going here!

Joes a great guy. Fixed my WIIAlways a pleaure to deal with.

Great customer service great prices will defanatly go again

Very cool shop took me right back to my childhood..Ask for Tony hes an awesome guy and very happy to help with everything I needed will be back very soon thx

The owner is very knowledgeable, helped me find some old games I was looking for myself and some new ones for the kids. A lot cheaper and easier than going to gamestop.

Joey, the owner, quickly helped me with my PS4 needs and answered all of my MTG and Pokemon Questions.

Stopped in last week and found many a goodies. upon inquiring about a console the employee took my name and number if it became available and I received a call a couple days later. Great prices and great customer service. Going to pick up my console today.

Very kind and helpful. Great selection too.

Love the selection and the guys are nice and informative.

Smaller then I though. Products in boxes on the floor and covering tables. Couldnt really see everything he had available.

Great place to pick up all your gaming needs...A++ people there are really helpful and can get you what you need

Friendly and knowledgeable staff, great selection of nerdy board games, used video games, and popular table top rpg source books (plenty of dice as well).

Wonderful to have a nice store with lots of items so close.

Always a pleasant experience every time I need them! On point and very friendly! Great job and keep up the great work!

This was my first time at the Stomping Grounds and it was excellent. First off the layout is very organized and it is easy to find what product is where. The selection is absolutely fantastic. During my visit I even saw a stack of Neo Geo games which was cool to see. Next I wanted to talk about the team that works there. They were personal and took the time make reccomendations based off what I like to play. Last I want to mention their trade in. They gave very fair trade in. A great first experience and I would definitely reccomend that anyone visit this store 😊

Great selection of video games! The owner is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Great place to hang out and play card games and/or board games.

Best retro video game store in Gainesville. Don’t waste your time anywhere else.

This is a my favorite place to hang out! Lots of magic players, D&D, used games and systems. I always feel really welcome, which is very different from other game shops in town that I have been to.

Good selection of retro video games as well as magic the gathering cards, friendly and helpful staff. I love this place

Friendly employees and a wide selection of old and new games. All around its a really nice place to hang out and play magic or D&D.

Fantastic game shop with warm and friendly staff. Community oriented location, and always a nice time to visit.

Great customer service and prices

Awesome service

Updated Review (1/2/2020)Having shopped with Joey and his staff at Stomping Grounds for a few months now I can say, without hesitation, they are THE most knowledgeable guys around for retro gaming. Joey has modded/fixed/upgraded several machines for me and each one has worked perfectly. Their skills and the fact that if a problem arises they have super cool about working with you to fix it, make this my go-to gaming destination.In terms of inventory and games they are always getting new stuff, so stop by weekly to see the new arrivals! Atari, NES, SNES, Genesis, PS1/2/3/4, Xbox, etc ...he has it all. OEM parts and New aftermarket parts and controllers as well.Lastly Ill say their trade in prices cannot be beat...by anyone. I always feel like I got a great value and Joey is quick to fix/adjust prices for any issues that arise. Bring your old stuff in for trade/cash, hell pay you more than any other gaming store in town!

I love it there...competitive prices and knowledgable staff

Found a game and going back for a console!!!

They got them games...

Best Lgs in Gainesville hands down

Friendly staff, great atmosphere, and a great place to hang out and play games.

Good for older games not sold at Gamestop
