Chuck E. Cheese’s

The Monroeville location for this franchise is absolutely terrible. While my husband and I were taking care of our two grandchildren– ages 1.5 and 3.5, — we found almost nothing decent to teach or entertain them. This negative impression was mostly due to the overcrowded quarters., lack of activities or games for toddlers, presence of large numbers of adults who obviously believe it is their right to let their children run rampant with no supervision while they sit around and talk. Numerous children kept coming up to me begging for coins to play games. I gave a few out, at first, but it quickly seemed to me that I was noted as a «giver» and — unfortunately — felt compelled to stop giving out any tokens.
Tables were dirty, birthday celebrations seemed chaotic, noise level was through the roof, just was not very pleasant for enjoying with small kids. The rooms and games looked as it they had not been upgraded in years. Would not be surprised if the owners of this location are simply running it to the ground before selling out.
Sorry for this brutal review– and I had my share of Chuck E. Cheese birthday parties for my own children going back years– but I felt I had to let other grandparents taking small children there know– it’s not the environment you remember! Skip it and travel to another location– if you like these– or go to a nice public playground this summer.

Went there for my son’s birthday (he’s 4). The food is over priced for the quality. However, they do serve beer! :) The games are geared toward little kids which is not an obvious thing but it is nice. All in all this is what you would expect. No surprises here.

Had a really nice time (we usually do)! My children love chuckes! It’s a little pricey but we had a coupon to make it a little better! It’s usually pretty crowded however it was nice and not so bad. the only thing I would say is I wish chucky would have stayed out longer so I could but picture with the kids.

Brought my little love here several weekends ago and had a pretty good time. I don’t feel like I’m reviewing this on his behalf. To start there is a jungle gym play area that he wanted to b-​line for but first we ordered food. The food isn’t that great and I remember thinking how overpriced the salad bar was. We went with a pizza combo pack. We claimed a table and went to play some games.
There is a nice variety of games. They are split up into two areas really. One side is games to play and win tickets and the other is little rides and the little jungle gym and slide. The ticket games weren’t to bad and we ended up with quite a bit of tickets. 400 I think. My boy liked the little rides and of course loved the jungle gym. There was also a machine that made cotton candy. It was good and the boy liked watching it being made. The toy selection for the tickets was pretty average. All the things at eye level with my boy were around 25 tickets.
It was a fun time for my boy. Not so great for adults but that’s something to be expected at a place like this. It is also dated. However it’s a kids place and he had a great time and that’s what matters most. It’s also nice that all children get a matching stamp to their parents so you can relax a bit and just let the kids play.

I would give this place a 2.5 only because it entertains my two yr old. I would go a little higher but what really turns me off from this place is that the kids jungle gym seems so filthy. Someone needs to go up there and scrub the entire thing and make minor repairs.
Another negative is that the stage show is disappointing. The animals don’t really do anything. Every now and then they will «sing» to a song but only for several seconds. There is also a small tv screen that is supposed to coincide with the song I think. I don’t really get the point. I thought the animals would come out and have a mini concert and move around but it is nothing like that. Also, you can’t really hear them.
They have a section for toddler age kids with two little rides. It is not bad but would be nicer if there were more that a 1 – 2 yr old could do. There is a larger section with games for older kids and adults I guess.
I do keep going back because there is not much to do around here with kids in the winter and it does make my kid happy. The staff have always been very nice and food is not horrible. I just really wish they would thoroughly clean the place and update a little. It has potential to be a decent place.

Well kids love this place and the pizza is edible, if not something I would cross the street for. There are scores of games that allow you to convert cash to essentially worthless junk, by way of the tickets. There are some little rides and things like that. There is animatronics stage show. It is usually crowded and fairly chaotic.
Don’t get me wrong — I enjoy attending birthday parties here with my kids and they of course, are ready to move in.

«Chuck E Cheese’s where a kid can be a kid»…
PROS:
Plenty of parking;
Chuck’s pizza is still tasty;
staff was friendly
CONS:
Restrooms were pretty bad – only 3 stalls adults can only use 2 of them;
Restrooms were filthy! No paper towels in either side of the dispenser and the vanity/​sinks were a wreck;
The server’s kinda put the food down anywhere, in fact one of our pizzas went to a table that wasn’t even «with» us – these people just happened to be sitting near us.
This joint is okay, but really if the kid is any older than 5, it wouldn’t be that awesome for them.
I swear I remember Chuck E Cheese’s being waaay cooler than it is now!
Anyhow, it was okay.
I’ve seen kids parties done better, but this wasn’t the worst, by any means.
Would I use it for my kid?
Probably, because they take care of everything if you do «booked birthday party», so it really takes the party planning headache away from the parents.
PS: I especially love the «No Firearms Allowed» sign @ the front door… *smh*
Its just a shame that *this* is the substitute for Showbiz PIzza Place :(
This could be such a cooler business/​market if it were done right!
Think Shrek-​esque. FOR kids but with Parents in mind ;)
