Chuck E Cheese’s

A Chuck E. Cheese near home. Ups and downs about the 1-​Stage but the manager accidently started up the 1-​Stage incorrectly according to Chuck E. Cheese YouTuber CECWestCoast. They just need to work on starting it up correctly. I would love to go again when they recieve the next showtapes. I only rely on the Showtapes.

Never again on a Saturday! Dirty, smelly and packed! Each game is one token though so not too bad.

The vanilla cake was hard and old. Many games out of order. The Chuck guy’s costume stunk of cigarettes. Lady behind food counter wouldn’t help me figure out which size pizza I wanted.

My son LOVES this place and when I did his party here, which was the first time I didn’t do it at home; I LOVED IT. I didnt have to worry about a thing. I just had to show up and pay. Each kid got 60 tokens, pizza, drinks, goody bags, a microphone balloon, and cake. They all got to pop the piñata and my son got to do the ticket blaster thing. for those not familiar with this vague explanation it is lots of fun for the birthday child. Like how the ball pit used to be fun for us! Any way, I loved it, everyone had a good time and that made me happy. They did a great job catering to us all.

We had our 8 year old son’s birthday party here over the weekend. It went really well. The hostess that assigned to us was amazing! She kept me informed about how the day will go and what’s happening next so I could prepare the kids. We choose the star package and got everything we needed to have a great party. I brought my own cupcakes and goodie bags, but you could get them there also if you wanted, I chose to bring my own.
The price for a party of 8, with an extra pizza for the adults added on was under $ 130. Amazing price for all you get!
I was happy it wasn’t too crowded for a Saturday at 12:30, pretty shocked really. The kids had a blast and I’m very pleased with how the party went myself.

Preface
1. My husband and I indulge our five-​year old’s gaming passion.
2. I had my own fifth birthday at a first generation Chuck E. Cheese in 1977.
3. I like to patronize businesses that contribute to Public Broadcasting.
Chapter 1.
When a friend, her two children and my two children visited just a few months ago we commented how nice it was that the games had just been changed out to keep it fresh. Also, that the new game selection made it feel more like an arcade than a casino since the last selection seemed highly dependent upon dropping coins for tickets and random other ways to obtain them that had little to with a «game.»
She also commented, at least while it’s a little expensive, the pizza’s pretty good. And I agreed.
Chapter 2.
Went in last night armed with coupons from the website. The coupon got me five extra tokens more than the $ 20 in-​house deal (big whoop). I also, bought the a-​y-​c-​e salad bar so I could get some veggies in all of us as well as the carbs. Um yeh, I got some edible slices of orange, some sesame croutons, raisins and grapes. Everything else on the selection had to be from the day before or they keep open containers in their fridge (rock hard crusty items mr. Health Department).
Chapter 3.
To add insult to injury the pizza has been changed. We got a thinly sauced and cheesed hard disc which is hard to call dough.
Afterword
Bring the kids, and if you think the birthdays there are too expensive, there was a family in the younger zone who brought their own cake and table cloths for a family party (hmmmmm, acceptable practice?) The games are why you ultimately come and at 25 cents each versus $ 1.50 for a short start up at D&B you can eat at the Papa John’s pizza 30 seconds across the parking lot before you go in. As long as they continue to keep the games fresh and playable (vs. gamble-​able) we will return again and again ! They know what they could do to improve this business. The franchise owners are quite comfortable with just getting by!

Be prepared for crowds and kids everywhere. Also, expensive birthday parties, with average food. But if you can stand all that, it’s not too bad.

I hadn’t been in a Chuck E. Cheese’s in AGES before we went there for a birthday party. It is much cleaner than I remember. It still skeeves me out that so many grubby kids (mine included) are touching everything, but in general it is very well maintained. We made a brief (1 hour or so) impromptu pit stop there on the way home from shopping on New Years day and there was barely anyone there. It was nice to insert some fun indoor activity into our cold day.

This is no Dave and Busters!!! It smelled they had no beer and the chicken wings where awful. So the kids played for a hour and we got out of there ASAP never to return again.

Print some cupons out from the website if you’re planning on eating there.
This place is typically for KIDS and they do enjoy their time spent. The staff is pretty friendly and helpful.
This place gets 4 stars only because its a bit smaller then the one I’m use to and find that the games are a tad bit too close to each other.
