Chuck E Cheese’s

I’m not afraid of going to Chuck E Cheese’s anymore. The place (Fairfax location) was dirty and horrible when I was a child so I dreaded the day I had to take my first born to a birthday party at the Herndon location. I have been many times since that birthday party years ago and like I said, I am not afraid.
I look forward to the pizza. The crust is great. The sauce is great. I actually prefer it to Dominos and Papa Johns. On my last visit my pizza arrived in 8 minutes — on a day that the weather was bad and school was out — at lunch time!
The staff has always been wonderful. Friendly and helpful. The games are usually all in working condition. The salad bar items are always fresh. The soda station can get messy but the selection can’t be beat… so many choices! The bathrooms are always clean.
The last time I was in was as a reward for my son for good behavior in school over a certain time period. He choose CEC as his reward. I brought a book and relaxed knowing my kids were having a great time spending their tokens.

Had my daughters party today and was awesome the staff was super nice (Yvonne was our host and she was awesome had a smile on her face and helped in any way she could). I would recommend this location rather than others near by. I had my daughters first party at Sterling location and was ok the host didn’t really engage in the party as much as Yvonne did and at the Herndon location the managers came a couple times throughout the party to check up and see if we needed anything. He place is clean and employees seem to take their job seriously unlike other locations where I’ve seen them good off a lot. Also chuck E came out multiple times to dance and take pictures with the kids, which I had never seen at other location usually he comes out for less than five minutes and that’s it. The ambiance is quite pleasant especially for the kids. Will def recommend this location and keep in mind for future parties, was extremely pleased.

Our family came here with our nephew during thanksgiving week/​weekend. I personally have been to this location many times in the past but Not during thanksgiving. It was super slow, quiet and just awesome. This place is usually pretty crowded as the next closest location is 25 – 30 mins away so it was nice and my nephew got to run around a bunch of times.
As you can expect most employees are younger and the place, honestly, in my opinion is well kept. I mean yes, there are things that can improved but given how busy this location tends to get, I think they do a darn good job. Tokens are cheaper at the cashier than the machine by 50 tokens or so for same price. They have pizza, tenders, salad bar and even beers & coffee (no iced coffee, we asked lol)
************However some parents, they just don’t pay attention to anything and usually their kids are the worst. Stealing tickets, pushing kids away, cutting the lines and no concern for kids who are in line whatsoever. I don’t care where you are from and if this is more of your cultural things you do where you let them run «wild» anywhere but this is not your home/​basement/​backyard. Everyone’s here with kids to enjoy and there’s no time for your inconsideration and lack of etiquette. Pay attention to your kids!

My daughter recently had her birthday party here and it was awesome. The staff was amazing and very accommodating considering I messed up and almost ruined my daughter’s day! I thought I had made reservations to the CEC in Herndon but instead made them at Dulles. So when I showed up to the Herndon location and realized what happened, I was almost in tears. The managers and party host quickly helped me and even though they were fully book found a way to fit my party in. They were extremely attentive and made my daughter feel special.

I’ve held two fundraisers at the Herndon Chuck E. Cheese. The staff bent over backwards to help us out, and we had a fabulous event, raising a good amount of money for a great cause – fighting cancer.
With our 6-​year-​old and 8-​year-​old boys, we are a gaming family. We love the diversity of activities at CEC. We’re happy with the food and the security – ends up being a very nice experience every time we go.
I’ll admit the pizza is not my top choice, but I think the food selection and quality has definitely improved in recent years. We’ll be repeat customers for many years!

Where else would I choose for my 200^th review? This CEC is one I’ve been going to for years with my extended family. We used to go to the one on Picket, but we found this one to be less crowded and more spacious. So, we go here every year for during our family reunion weekend. This CEC is clean, and the service is good. There’s plenty of games for adults and kids alike. Even my uncle, who does not really like these type of places, had a blast playing games and hanging out with his brother.
CEC can be a bit pricey, but it’s a really good time and a tried and true tradition for us, Superstars.

Couldn’t actually get in the door due to a zillion bubble bees flying around the entrance. It was not on our agenda to get stung today so maybe at another time.

Brought two rugrats here this past summer and I was not impressed.
Staff were less than helpful and barely cracked a smile.
Cleanliness was obviously not their top priority. The dingy carpets didn’t help me feel any less dirty either. As soon as we stepped foot out of the building I gave us all a good Purell bath.
Having the prize booth as soon as you walk in the door is definitely a smart business move and also one that’ll seize a parent’s wallet. The kids get all excited about what they want to win and attempt to play every game in the house.
During my experience here, the kids got bored pretty fast though, especially when they figured out that a million tickets won only earns you an eraser (not really, but you get my point).
I will say that I’m a fan of the Kid-​Check concept, where every adult leaving is checked to make sure they have corresponding numbers as their kids.

Ugh, this place is gross. I go because my kids have fun playing the games. But the food is disgusting, the beer flat, they shouldn’t sell food or drinks.

The kid was invited for a birthday and I was dreading it. I remembered the dark, dirty and musty CEC’s of my youth.
Well, happy to say that although it’s still quite overstimulating – which kids love – this location was really surprisingly nice. Well-​kept, clean, natural light, space to run around. Well done, guys! Modernized with a little green-​screen spot – the kids loved watching themselves on TV.
Still the same pizza, but no one wants to sit and eat anyway.
Recommend you install an espresso bar for the adults so we can try to keep up.

It is a darn tooting shame that I am the Duchess of the House of the Mouse. Which is code for CEC. No parent dares to udder those words unless you are actually driving to CEC or else you pay the price of having a screaming pyscho little person (s) in your midst until you can distract them with something else.
This location is the same one my little sister used to work at when we were teenagers. I remember dropping her off and then coming in to play the games before they opened lol. It has changed a lot and for the better. Since between the two of us we have 4 little ones, I feel like there is always a party/​playdate/​get out of the house moment where we find ourselves here every month. I just keep a stash of tokens in my trunk at all times lol.
For me, my favorite parts are:
The Kid-​Check — which means no one is getting out of here with my rugrats and I can actually breathe if they are more than an arms length away.
The Salad Bar which is always well stocked and actually a pretty good value. I’ve also noticed they have more diet sodas available which works for me. I’m not a big soda fan but sometimes you just want a sip and not have to blow your diet on 200 calories of sugar.
There have been a few times where they have messed up our food orders (as in never brought it to the table) and on an even rarer occasion the bathrooms can be a bit messy. But whenever we say anything they send someone in right away.
The GM here is the same one that was here over 10 years ago when my little sister was 16. She is great and we always get a smile and a hug when we come in whether its for a huge party of 60 or just the family.
Not too shabby as far as CEC’s go!

Had our son’s birthday here. Very helpful staff, lots of tokens with the package. Overall very satisfied, and would do it again.

I love the pizza here lol

Not a place to go out pizza unless you’re stuck there at a toddler b’day party.

i took my kids to chuck e cheese’s today i always get a headache there its too crowded i hate it. but my kids always make me go there i do not like thier pizza at
trip to chuck e always cost me like 80.00 its alot. I saw this kid picking her nose and then she touched the rides it made me sick i had to wash my kids hands so many
last, my kids had fun so it was ok.

I recently came here with two little ones… one 2, one 6… plus my mom and sister. When you enter with children they give you a stamp that is only seen under blacklight that has a unique number identifier for your group — to ensure that you only leave with the kids you came with.
Chuck-E-Cheese’s is laid out well… as soon as you walk in the prize table is there — sure to get the little ones excited about getting tickets and wanting prizes. You also order your food there and then go find a table and they will bring you the pizza (which… surprisingly… not bad — light on the sauce so it’s great for their target audience of children).
On the left side there are lots of rides, perfect for younger children. The 2 year old really enjoyed these. On the right side are all the various games to earn tickets, and plenty of ticket redemption machines that give you a receipt with the number of tickets you redeemed.
The only thing you have to watch out for with C-​E-​C is how fast your $$ will fly out of your wallet purchasing tokens if you’re not careful.
