TL;DR: Go for the endless arcade games. Stay for the endless arcade games. And lots of soda.
$12 and you have an all day pass to classic arcades games and some new ones, plus skeeball, air hockey, etc. If I could, I would just plant myself in front of the X-Men or the MVC2 machine and just play those all day.
There are no food offerings inside, but you can bring your own if you'd like. But, to be honest, I would ignore the reviews complaining about there not being food. The unlimited arcade games are the draw, brother. And guess what? If you're hungry, you can leave, go to a restaurant nearby (or watch a baseball game?), eat, come back, and then game for the rest of the night! The one day pass works like a charm!
On both of my visits here, I got the unlimited soda 'cause I don't drink alcohol. My only gripe with the soda is that there were not enough zero sugar offerings. IIRC, there was maybe one diet drink? The soda flavors were akin to the in-house soda offerings you'd find at Buc-ee's. Not a deal breaker, but again, the arcade games are the draw, brother jack.
Some games were out of service and I don't remember any of Cidercade's socials mentioning which are out of order, so be wary and take note before you visit the next time.
