We scheduled a birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese well over a month in advance. The very next day, we called back to cancel due to a change in plans?but we were surprised and disappointed to learn that our deposit was non-refundable and couldn't even be applied toward a future visit (not even for pizza or games). I understand policies are in place for a reason, but it's frustrating that there's no flexibility, especially when we canceled so far in advance. I wanted to share this so other families are aware
A fun place for birthday parties I celebrated my Daughter's birthday, and it was a big hit. All the kids and their parents equally enjoyed it. There were lots of fun activities, and the pizza quality was better than I expected :)
Love Chuck E. Cheese. Pizza is seasoned well. Love that you can sit in the general area and have a birthday party. But paying for a party package seems great as well. All my kids from 3+ had a lot of fun!
This is the best Chuck E Cheese I've been to. we had my child?s birthday here and it was so wonderful. The staff went above and beyond to make the party special. I wish I can remember the young lady?s name. She was so accommodating and organized. The party went so smoothly and I received so many compliments on the party. Chuck E Cheese came out to dance with the kids and sang happy birthday. That was a huge hit. The food was fresh and delicious. Thank you so much!!
We had a birthday party for my kid here after needing to switch locations due to a shooting incident at the Brandon location. The staff were amazing, accommodating, attentive & made this such a pleasant experience. Our servers name was nesha she was awesome! And what I expected to be a stressful event, turned out to be so easy, fun, and the kids absolutely loved it. So did the adults! Highly recommend this location for parties.
This was our 1st time with our younger grandson in a long time my grandkids are 7 yrs apart..2 words..Kid Casino..it was like everything was $12..trampoline, mini pizza, salad bar( which closed down after got 1 salad, and then told several people just take all they want and gave free extra plates after i just purchased one)and $30 for 1 hr of play which went very quick..I did not realize the trampoline cost an the teen worker kept kicking my grand out an I did not know why at 1st an was very rude, when I re
We just had our son's birthday party at this location. 20 kids and everyone had a blast. Our party attendant was Alexa and she was absolutely fantastic! She was attentive and anticipated things that we might need throughout the party. She really went above and beyond. I like this location because almost all of the play floor is visible from the party area, so it is easy to keep an eye on all the kids. Almost all the games were working and overall the place was very clean.
I want to give a huge shoutout to Shonce. I think he may be the manager, and if he is, it absolutely shows?he was phenomenal from start to finish. From the minute we walked in, he was welcoming, upbeat, and clearly dedicated to making sure every family had a great experience. Shonce went above and beyond to keep things running smoothly. He was hands-on with the team, super attentive to guests, and made sure everything?from the games to the food to the atmosphere?was clean, fun, and family-friendly. His ene
This location is always clean and staff are always friendly, food is not always the best, I always order the same thing but it doesn't always taste the same. I always have fun maybe more than my daughter Lol
This location was well lit and no longer reminded me of the dark, crusty, stickiness Chuck e cheese used to be known for and thank goodness those animatronics are gone... No more 5 Nights at Freddy's vibe ?? We had a great time with the kids and grands!
This place has 0 customer service. Karie was placed at the kids jumping place and kept arguing with me and even wanted to put her hands on my son when I had the receipt and she kept arguing and giving people a nasty attitude telling me how since this is chuck e cheese she didnt need customer service and she could be as nasty as she wanted. That itself talks loud specifically for the people that hired her.
Love going to Chuck E. Cheese and playing some games. Clean place. Friendly staff.
My granddaughter had her 5th birthday party. The staff seemed uninterested. The place was clean and I liked the bounce house too expensive for a party $12 per child
We had a party there for our VPK class, and Shannon, our host, was so attentive. The only takeaway would be that the host should have a microphone when the character comes out so they don't have to scream.
We didn't eat there as I feel the cost is too much. They do have a small area for the younger kids, mine is 4. Not bad especially with the jumping area although that's extra.
Clean location, nice management and workers. Very patient and helpful. Since we purchased the summer play pass, we walked in an hour before closing and still got treated with respect and good attitudes from all. This location is a little smaller than the Brandon and Wesley chapel. Still has a lot of great games and activities. I'd definitely come back. My 11 year old son loves it!
My son and I visited this location three times. On the third time, it was his 3rd birthday today. My parents came in town to celebrate as well. We were just going to go play games but staff were welcoming and friendly to the point they offered cake ?? and the Chuck E Cheese mascot himself came and took pictures with him as well!
The Dale Mabry location is much more enjoyable than Brandon. It has good lighting and is very clean.
If I could give it 0 stars I would. It's a shame how disgusting and dirty this whole place was. Almost every single table was dirty with trash all over it. There were about 10 games that didn't work. Overall it was a complete mess in my eyes. My son did have fun but it's very difficult to return back to a place when it looks like this.
I brought my niece and nephew to this location last night and all I can say is that this place is deplorable. What a shame. It was super small , most of the game equipment wasn't working and the staff radiated with a look that they didn't want to be there . I will like to state on how one of the employees even gave us a toy for free although not having enough points ,because she said she just wants to go home lol . My niece and nephew couldn't even try the mini go cart ride because despite pressing the cus
What a great birthday party for my six-year-old the staff was extremely helpful, caring and giving Travis, the Manager went above and beyond definitely appreciate it and we will be back highly recommended
Yes! It's all about the kids. We got the #5 2 ?? 1 pie cookie and 6 drinks. And for 150 tokens, what can you buy? "Nothing." Sorry, but the pizza was not even ok. Prices are honestly ridiculous. And you have to even pay a separate fee of $12 for the jumping pad and socks. Come on, that's already in and at Chuck E. Cheese. Yes! Families are going to pay to make their kids happy. Buy give them a reason to come back sooner then never.
We went to this location for a birthday party, there are a lot of games for the bigger kids and ride ons for the little ones, they had a great time with Chuck e, we loved that he was very interactive with the kids but wish there was a bit more space between the party tables. Staff was very attentive and friendly.
Clean quick service fun games i like that it had one main entrance that was somewhat barricaded so it was easy to keep track of the kids
Bad experience, extremely hot inside. You could bitterly break a sweat in there. All the staff standing at the registers were on their phones. My friend was having her 2 year olds party. When she went up to ask for extra plates the guy acted like he didn't hear her. Then when she asked again, he tossed the plates at her. The handicap bathroom was out of order and there was no where in there to change diapers. The bathrooms were in poor conditions. Overall extremely poor experience. Would give 0 stars if I
Although it's not the same Chuck E Cheese as when I was a child, the little ones still loved it. It's a shame they got rid of the animatronics since this was one of the best parts of the experience! The pizza was as good as ever though and the staff thoughtful and attentive. Would go back again.
We have been doing our kids' birthday parties here for the past couple of years. The service is always fantastic. They take care of everything from start to finish, and all of the kids always have a blast. The party package includes pizza, dippin dots, the ticket blaster, 2 hours of unlimited gaming, and Chuck E will come sing Happy Birthday and dance with your party. Plus, I don't need to set up or clean up anything! For the price, it really can't be beat. I priced out renting an inflatable and getting all
The manager Dante always take care of me whenever I'm there playing operation! GIVE THIS MAN A RAISE!!! HE'S TOO AWESOME!!! Keep up the good work!!!
As a parent you tend to have a love hate relationship with Chuck! I definitely have one of those. I was actually happy when my child became old enough to not want to come here. I hated the above ground plastic maze where your child would climb up and explore...you'd hope they didn't get lost and would find their way back down without you having to make the climb or sending a staff member into the beyond to help. You didn't even know if it were clean up there, just hoped so. Well I was surprised to see durin
Did a reservation for my son birthday my first time and let me tell you I had such a amazing host , always checked on us if we needed anything , got all the food out on time , thank you so much destiny ! Manager on duty was so kind and staff was polite and answer any questions I had food was fresh and the place was clean My son had a amazing birthday
We had a birthday party for our son and spent quite a bit for 9 kids. The package we paid for was supposed to include ?goody bags,? the host never mentioned they had a shortage I just happened to remember the kids didn't receive so I called and they said they added points on the kids cards instead. Not one person mentioned this to us yesterday, party does not include balloons, host was not friendly at all. Do not recommend planning a party here! That was our last one for sure!
This is one of the biggest chuckee cheeses in the area. I would say the chuckee cheese in riverview is comparable in size but this one has very good games that keep the kids busy. I can easily spend an hour in here with the kids as long as they don't focus too heavily on the lottery type games. Appears to be well kept and the monthly membership is sweet.
Never spent $60 on 2 toddlers 4&5 in chuck e cheese in my life. They enjoyed themselves but it wasn't worth the funds.
Had birthday party for a 2 year old staff were helpful and friendly
Kids have a great time would be nice if their pizza combos weren't so pricey.
It is a great place for kids to enjoy. I wish they had some healthy snacks on the menu.
I do appreciate this location?the staff is always friendly to us when we go & it's clear they work hard on keeping things clean.
Great customer service, all the games work and it's clean inside!!
The trampoline is a good add on and definitely a hit. Also the upgraded game machines was much needed. Only complaint are the employees, they have ZERO customer service but they are just kids themselves so I guess it's expected. Tonight one specific Yasmin with no E was very rude after us waiting 20 minutes for someone to be present at the ticket redeem counter. Very unprofessional.
My grandkids had fun. I haven't been here in years.
The staff was very friendly and accommodated my party.
Celebrated My Granddaughter's birthday party..All the kids had a blast and the food was awesome.
Great time there. Very family friendly. A lot of games were down or didnt give the tickets. But overall it was clean and the staff was very respectful.
Very friendly staff I wish they would go back to coins as the kids loved them
My daughter enjoys the games, and a bounce house has recently been added for an additional charge. However; I think everything is over price.
If the staff could stay off their cell phones, then maybe the tables would get wiped down and cleared off faster. On a good note. This new summer pass idea is dope and literally has saved me a couple dollars already.
My children were okay. It is definitely not like it use to be. When I was a kid it had more games for all ages, pizza came to your table, staff walked around made sure everyone was happy. They actually check arm stamped numbers. It had dimmer lights to make the games light up more. Games had sounds. Now it's like a basic arcade for five year old and younger. When we first got there the young woman at the counter was very rude to the man in front of us. Saying she did not understand him for him to speak Engl
We have been to a few different Chuck E Cheese and I have to say this location really surprised me. It was clean and open and the staff is awesome. Friendly and knowledgeable. Definetly will be back with the kids as they enjoyed playing very much.
Before we took our daughter here I had no idea how great their food is! The games are also very reasonably priced as well. We will definitely be back soon!
Just dropped in for an hour. It was great pizza and everyone had fun. Just wish i could have been able to get someone to let me use a rag and spray, to clean the table. But it was a Sat afternoon so. ..
I would like to take the time to say...how wonderfully nice and pleasant Shonce and Kyle was today at the Chuck e Cheese on Dale Mabry... Both Shonce and Kyle went up and above the call of duty . The service was excellent both gentlemen was on a very professional level...I can truly say we need more good hearted people in work places like them. Special thank to u Shonce because ur kind heart never stopped u continued to be nice to us all and treated our disabled clients as well. May God forever bless u all
Yasmin Ogba made my daughter's birthday experience great! It was fun & affordable. My daughter had a blast, and so did her friends. Thanks for hosting us! ????
Chuck E. Cheese is a winner! The games galore kept my kids entertained for hours, and the pizza was surprisingly tasty. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the live Birthday show with Chuck E. Cheese was a highlight. Perfect for a birthday party or a fun family outing!
Shonce at the check out desk was so helpful! I signed up for the 2 month card
Chuck E. Cheese or a great experience for my kids and stuff finally on the place was clean. And the pizza was very good for stuffed crust by a chain restaurant. It was located in a good area and my kids had a block so of course the kids have fun turned up on then it's a good experience so highly recommended.
Great place to take kids and grandkids from our group
We had a great time for my son's birthday party. Part of the awesomeness was choosing a weekday in the early afternoon, so we basically had the entire location to ourselves. There were no other parties, so we were able to spread out and the kids were able to get a lot of attention and time with Chuck E. Windsor was a great party host and took fantastic care of us. He was always right there when we needed him, but he also was aware to hover in the background to let the party happen. I was very happy he was
I brought my niece to Chuck E Cheese while I was visiting Florida. This location was very clean, staff were friendly, bathrooms were clean, and my niece had a blast! Best location I've been to!
Come here to spend your hard earned money and your children hear explicit words about their mother from the staff when questioned why they let their child out of the gate with a strange man who's number did not match their own! Would of loved if she had actually said it to me and not my underage children!!
We had a birthday party here for a 4-year-old girl. The staff is very attentive and accommodating. The children loved running around playing with the the games and seeing Chuck E cheese. With the birthday party you get hats,plates,silverware,pizza, drinks,a card to play the games and ice cream. I would highly recommend
So exited to take advantage of their summer pass. I visited last with a 5, 8 and 16yr old. They had a blast. I really enjoyed the unlimited salad bar. It was fresh, great selection. Includes fruits, jello and crackers.
Great experience with my family. The staff was very friendly and the pizza was fast, HOT, & tasty. The manager was dealing with a family who was disruptive, but maintained professionalism & remained friendly to his other guests. A few games were out of order, but the technician was working fast & was fixing issues promptly. Our time was fun & the kids had a great time! I recommend everyone download the app to earn double tickets or other add-ons!
Only thing I wish they would change is how many times you can pause your card. 1 time isn't enough when you have paid for almost 2 hours of play time and have little ones lol it's a lot of bathroom breaks and snacks and foods and ChuckE time other then that we loved it
This location was a lot better than another one in the city. The play area was clean. The only complaint I have is the condition of the restroom and that I did not see anyone sanitizing games frequently, but we always bring our own. Little kids are constantly in this bathroom and it should be a lot cleaner.
They continue to improve the facility. I was disheartened when I went there a year or two ago, but it's definitely gotten cleaner and the service has gotten better.
Poor service. My order which I drove 20+ mins to come get was just given away to the person I front of us who hadn't even ordered ahead of time. Then I had to wait 20+ mins for them to remake the order.
Nice place for the kids to have a break.
Chuck Easy, it's a great place to celebrate the kiddies' birthday ?? The staff is phenomenal sometimes slow but always knows how to show the kids a good time.
We purchased a large pepperoni and 4 drinks with 2 ea 90 minutes of play. That pizza was good ?? ??
The kids really love the place so it made it worthwhile, but the service was not good at all and they could not help answer questions. The pizza tasted like cardboard and the salad bar was out way too long so it's not fresh. I asked for a second plate to put my fruit separate from my salad and the dressing and they would not give it to me
My nephews had a great time and the food was good, although while cashing out tickets, a young girl I believe named Desi, was just BEYOND rude, threw items on the counter at my nephews, rolled her eyes without even trying to hide it. When we asked for a different color frisbey because she gave my nephew a purple one. Didn't ask our preference on anything. I was honestly baffled that this girl is working with children with the attitude she had. And we are not rude people what so ever. I just couldn't believe
Wasnt as good as it used to be. But not bad pricing on games. Prizes are terrible.
My kid had fun but when it was time to get his points for prizes had to wait wait for young girl at counter to get off her cell phone to help us . She had to keep stopping to check her cell phone she was not polite not even have a nice day left my card on the counter to go back to her phone and just walked away I would stay awayfrom. This location you pay good money for this poor service so it's clear this was about 2 o clock on August 20th 2023.
It's a great place where a kid can have fun and a parent can enjoy themselves with alcohol. Just being honest, let the kids run around, and the adult buys some beer and runs around with the kids. It's an win win for everyone! If you don't drink alcohol l, it's still a fantastic place to be! Military, please ask at the front for military deals because it is not advertised on their site. I googled it and found out about it.
The employees just do what they are doing, by this I mean that there is not much empathy. The staff starts vacuuming with the babies playing and my son fell through the cable of the vacuum cleaner that they were using for more than 1 hour while my son was playing, and it was not because of an accident, they just wanted to advance the work during operating hours , the man never stopped the machine, even seeing that my baby was running around those sides. They are not interested in the children, they are on
Always fun. I miss the tickets as a kid, but it's still a fun family experience.
Went there for my niece?s birthday party our party host wasn't very nice. Gave multiple people the stank eye and just had a really bad attitude don't think she smiled even once ??, the other party host that was there in comparison was very happy acting and just put more effort into her party than ours did. however the party was ok games aren't like they used to be but it was still enjoyable. 3/10
The staff there was amazing. My son had an awesome time. Only two ticket collectors were working and the most popular attractions weren't working. But, the staff went above and beyond anyone's expectations. Kudos to the staff that works there. Super friendly, extremely patient, and they bent over backwards to make sure everyone had a good time.
We had a great time! There were many games to choose from for different ages. The pizza was hot and delicious. While I do miss Munch's Make Believe Band, the kids really enjoyed the new dance floor.
Pizza here is great! Atmosphere is wonderful, full of joy and of course is a great place for kids. However the customer service (couple of guys at the front desk) not good at all, maybe they forget they're in a place made for kids.
Kids always have a funtime when here!
Kids can definitely be kids here. It's very loud but my son always has a good time. Lots of different games to play. Mostly kid oriented prizes, pizza and a salad bar and you get to see Chucky and friends. Sometimes. My son is always asking me to bring him here.
The location wasn't jammed packed that is a plus and on top of that my daughter was able to run freely to enjoy herself! What's weird was the amount of money spent for one child to play which that's not what I would make a big deal about? My thing was the food for the price like seriously I spent more on food then the actual playtime.
Celebrated my great niece 3rd birthday at chuck's our personal server Mia was amazing and on top of things she went above her excellent kindness and very pleased in doing so. As I saw from the other parties surrounding us there workers where as good as her but I loved Mia personality she just had that extra about her. So yes loved it. All
Arriving early allows the kids to not have to wait for their favorite games
Probably the cleanest and nicest Chuck E Cheese in the country. Took my daughter here and she had a blast , she's only 3 but loved all the different mechanical vehicles she could jump on. Tons of different games and things to for kids to do. This place breaks the stigma that Chuck E. Cheese had for so long about its appearance and operation. Definitely worth coming here , next time I'm in the area ill be bringing the kids back.
They really cleaned the place up and added new updated games. We really like the pay for unlimited play times now. Had a lot of fun with my kids. Great coupons available online as well. Prizes are a little lame for how many tickets you need, but it's expected.
Clean, very nice and customer service is good. But a few months ago they renovated and the changed the place where they place a stamp in your hand before coming in, for me it is not protective anymore since little kids can go out if you don't supervise them. So just keep your eyes on your kids at all times. They should change it again by the way!
It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.
Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.
Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.
Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.
Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.
Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.
Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.
No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
Arcade prize games are a thrilling highlight in 2025! Claw machines, skee-ball, and ticket-redemption games like basketball offer a rush of skill and chance, with rewards like plushies, toys, or electronics up for grabs. Modern machines feature vibrant lights, digital scoreboards, and responsive controls, amplifying the fun. The lively arcade atmosphere, with cheering crowds and buzzing energy, makes every win feel epic.
