Chuck E. Cheese’s

Terrible customer service, cold pizza. Waiting for someone to wipe table down and then waiting for forks to eat food… Young employees that are having a good time but service is terrible.

We brought the kiddos in for a midweek outing and it was nice and slow. Everything was working, the pizza was good, and the restrooms were clean. Ronald helped us the whole time and he was very pleasant and my 2 yr old son liked him so much he wanted to hang out with him instead. He was very helpful and patient. I normally dread Chuck E Cheese and avoid it like the plague, but this time I couldn’t have more pleased. The only disappointment was there was no salad bar set up yet.

First off, you would think that as much as you spend on pizza and tokens that they could at least try to give it some flavor. This has to be the most tasteless and flat pizza I’ve ever eaten. It really would give something back to the adults, you know, the ones who are paying for the experience. We came here for my daughter’s birthday, so let’s be honest, when you’re 5 its all about the games. The games were ok, and there were quite a few to chose from. We didn’t do the birthday package because they wanted way too much money for it. All in all, the kids had a great time and the adults all left with heartburn from the disgusting pizza.

Five star rating if you are under 5 years old, and don’t care what the pizza or salad bar tastes like.
For the rest of us, ONLY the joy of bringing a child here makes it worth while. It is too noisy to talk, the pizza is the single worst pizza I have ever had in my life. I would rather eat a frozen pizza than Chuck E Cheese’s pizza. Their salad bar is often gross, with brown lettuce that looks like it is past its «prime.» DO NOT come to Chuck E. Cheese to eat. My recommendation is to go someplace else the kids like to eat, and then go there for the games.

The smell of dirty diapers assaulted our senses as soon as we entered, and unfortunately, the building had no air flow. I would’ve turned and run – or rather, never would’ve come at all– had I not been there to attend a child’s birthday party. In its favor, the place had a stamp policy to prevent kids from leaving without their parents, and some of the games were entertaining, even for adults. The pizza was OK, not great, and the salad bar was swarming with flies. The videos playing on the TVs were somewhat disturbing to me– particularly one called «Burger Rain» that, at one point, showed a guy catching part of a hamburger in his mouth and then letting the rest spill out. For adults, anyway, methinks not.

I don’t know why anyone in the 21+ crowd would come here for their birthday. It’s a place for kids. If you want unlimited beers with your pizza and wings, go to a sports bar or Dave & Busters or something. The two beer limit is probably in the best interest of the children. They don’t need a bunch of twenty-​somethings getting drunk in there and tripping over small children.
That being said, everyone told us the pizza was going to be awful. The reviews, my kid’s hairdresser, you name it. They said it was going to taste like cardboard. So we were expecting really crappy pizza like what you would find at CiCi’s Pizza. So when the pizza came out and it didn’t suck we were very pleasantly surprised. It wasn’t amazing pizza, but it didn’t taste like cardboard at all. It tasted just fine. It tasted better than other pizza places aimed at children like CiCi’s and Pizza Machine. I do wish they had a dessert bar or dessert pizzas. They have cakes, but it seemed like that was pretty much it for dessert.
The salad bar didn’t look very exciting, but I think they deserve points for having goldfish crackers there. Kids + goldfish crackers just makes sense.
Most places like this, the fountain drinks taste awful like they’re running out of syrup, but that wasn’t the case. I was able to drink all the soda I wanted and it tasted how soda is supposed to taste. I’m not used to that, crappy fountain drinks are so common, so they get points for that in my book.
There was a decent variety of games. They really liked the Wave ride thing. The air hockey machine seemed to be out of order, that was a bummer. We were glad to have the photo booth thingy, that is always a hit. The little kids loved the crap out of the indoor play land. It wasn’t very big at all, there was no ball pit, but the little ones were loving it. The dads seemed to have a lot of fun winning tickets for the little ones who were too busy playing in the play land. The prizes were not worth the tickets, but that’s how those things are. You spend a bunch of tickets on some cheap crappy prize that you could get at the dollar store, but the kids get all excited over it so whatever. That’s just how arcade prize counters are.
The girl who brought out the pizza and led the birthday party festivities with Mr. Cheese did a great job with all her singing and clapping. Mr. Cheese did a good job. There was one guy working the front door who sucked, had a bit of an attitude problem, and overall seemed to not like his job. The TV screens in the stage area seem like they’ve seen better days.
All in all, my kid had a blast and didn’t want to go home. We had a nice time chatting while the kids (and their dads lol) played silly games. We’ll probably have to do Chuck E Cheese for our kid’s birthday coming up, but I think we’ll try the Omaha location since we’re in Omaha.
The last one we went to was back in Phoenix, AZ and it was a little bit better, the stage area had an interactive blue screen thing so kids could be on the TV and their play land was bigger. But Phoenix is bigger than Lincoln, so I guess it’s not surprising that Lincoln’s Chuck E Cheese would feel smaller.

They have a two beer limit — and that, folks, is a bad thing.
For my friend’s 25^th birthday one year, we went here in hopes of having a good, cheesy, ridiculous time. Instead, we ended up with a mere two beers apiece, crappy pizza, and lots of tickets that got us crappy prizes.
The good things? They had one of those pencil-​sketch things, which we all put TONS of money in. They had skee-​ball, which we loved, and lots of other games that took us back — way back!
My little brother’s friends had lots of parties here, and they seemed to have a good time, but let’s be honest — I wouldn’t let my kids anywhere NEAR that ball pit. That is, if I had kids. Really, folks. Head to Champions or somewhere else for a fun, child-​oriented time. Chuck E Cheese is so 1990s.
