Chuck E Cheese’s

It’s a fun place for kids. When you walk in they stamp you and your kids with unique numbers to identify them as your own so people can’t walk out with your kids.
We ordered a pizza it was nothing special but it was OK. Cashier was very friendly and helpful.
Busy on Fridays.
They have the latest night tech state of the art animatronics from the ‘80s here in the form of animals that form a band and play on stage. It doesn’t get any better that that!
All of the arcade games worked for us. So that’s cool. Most of the time at these places everything rips you off.
Overall kids had fun so it was worth it.

This place is a filthy, mismanaged disaster. It could be a great place because they have plenty of games and whatnot, but the problem is that so many of them are broken or otherwise inoperable. It wasn’t always this bad, but over the last couple years, it seems management has quit trying to actually fix machines. I’m tired of the disappointed look my kids have when they put a token into a machine and nothing happens or it doesn’t work right. I came here for fun, not to to continuously cheer up my kids after they wasted another token in a broken game. Some of them are turned off, some of them have error codes on the display, and some of them look like they work but a key component is broken rendering the game unplayable (which you don’t know until AFTER putting in your money).
I guess you could complain to management to get your token back, but I would have had to do that over and over again. I would spend more time trying to find an employee who would help me than I would playing games. I understand if one or two games are out of order and they are waiting to be fixed AND they have an «out of order» sign on them, but there are tons of broken machines and not a single one had a warning sign of any kind. Furthermore, when it was time to redeem our tickets for prizes, two of the items they wanted were out of stock. There were 4 of the items in the display cases, but they wouldn’t give us those, they just said «pick something else» with no apology. All of the prizes are complete crap as it is; how hard would it be to at least keep them in stock?
On top of all this, the employees are just apathetic, unfriendly, and unhelpful. Hey prize counter guy, you’re dealing with kids here, can you at least TRY to be friendly and helpful? You are standing there with the calculator, can you tell us how many tickets we have left to spend instead of making us keeping track in our heads while you stand silently staring at the number on your calculator. Seriously. I saw one manager who seemed decent, but he rushed off and passed me off to one of his awful, apathetic lackeys.
I’ve been to this location maybe 6 or 7 times, and I don’t care to ever waste my money here again. On my last visit I left this place feeling like I got scammed. I paid money to put tokens in broken machines and then my kids didn’t even get the prizes they wanted. I just wish someone would come to town and build a higher-​class version of Chuck E. Cheese’s to put this place out of business.

I love this place, not really for its food, but because if you get a coupon, you can get up to 8 tokens for 1 dollar. The food is okay here, they have pizza, I recommend the barbecue. But don’t do the salad bar, it just doesn’t look like they keep it together.
My favorite thing is the 1 token picture machine, I go through so many of those each time I visit. The kids get so mad because they have to wait, but hey, they wouldn’t o feven given it a glance if I didn’t sit there.
But skeeball here is more intense than anywhere else, everybody strives to hit the bonus when it gets up to high numbers, and on a busy day, spots are limited.
