Customer Reviews

Great customer service Delicious Pizza ?? What was especially impressive was the customer service our cashier caro her ability to assist Spanish speaking customers. I observed her effortlessly switch between English and Spanish, ensuring that everyone felt welcome and understood. Positive attitude, problem-solving skills, and bilingual abilities made her a standout employee. She truly embodies excellent customer service, and Chuck E. Cheese is lucky to have her!

Great service!! Staff is amazing and the kids always enjoy the atmosphere, highly recommend getting the yearly pass ?? silver is perfect! 11.99 $ a month! Saves you 30% on food, 100 points everyday (Additional points are also 30% ??!!!! Thank you ???? for making my kid's happy! ?? Well done!! ???

Remodeled. Looks very nice. Many different games. Added a small jump area for little ones (probably 5 and under). Ordered salad as well, not pictured. Salad bar had a nice variety. Order the pepperoni and a supreme. A little pricey, 20 bucks for the pepperoni 25 for the supreme. Both large. About standard large size but the extra cost is to be expected at a place like this. The pepperoni was fresh but the supreme was cold. I took it back and asked them to run it through the oven again. They did so. It

The food here is decent but unremarkable, offering standard fare that satisfies without standing out. However, the games are the true highlight, consistently delivering fun, excitement, and high-quality entertainment. While the dining experience might not wow you, the reliably engaging games make it a destination worth revisiting. A plus for vegetarians, or if you are in a diet, salad bar is unlimited and huge variety worth the price.

Awesome place to take the kids .... food is great no complaints ?? ??

I used to really like Chuck E. Cheese back then, but now I'm starting to think it's a horrible party place. Mostly all the fountain drinks were water, except for Pepsi zero and regular Pepsi which were still flat. I can't believe what this place has turned into.

This place was way understaffed...waiting time was ridiculously long due to this...the 2 girls at the front were overwhelmed with the many things they were trying to do to meet everyone's needs Kuddos to those 2 girls...they earned every penny.

I didn't like the fact that you have to get a bracelet to be able to use the trampoline area and one of the staff got all the kids that were in their out if they didn't have a bracelet my daughter and son we sad that they had to get out I didn't know about the bracelet and I didn't have the $$$ to buy them 1 it wasn't planned for us to go their but we did.

Great place for having fun with the kids and family Recommended

Excellent service Great place clean and very safe for kiddos Delicious Stuffed crust Pizza ?? The most Fun Day ??????

?I had an issue with my order, but the manager went above and beyond to make things right. He was attentive, listened to my concerns, and ensured that my food was prepared perfectly. It's rare to see such dedication to customer satisfaction, and I felt genuinely valued as a guest. Thanks to his quick response and professionalism, my experience turned around completely. Highly recommend this place for both the food and the excellent customer service!?

i?m glad we had my daughters 4th birthday party here, every kid had so much fun! A BIG Thank you to the server/Hostess that helped me out, can't remember her name but she did such an amazing job, was very polite, helpful in everything and was very fast in bringing anything i needed! once again THANK YOU ????

Place is expensive for a NOT fun atmosphere?my kids came super disappointed , we paid over 400 in 10 kids and the kids came asking for $$ to jump????? Wow? they overcharge by the hour, then they charge extra for a mini trampoline area , kids wanted to take pictures and machine ais always out of ink . SMH. food is overpriced, a salad is 13 bucks . My goodness. No wonder every time we just go to main event. We wont ever be back. Thats it. Not good for partys , nor going on weekends. 2/10

My son had a blast on Chuck E. , none of his friends went to his birthday, but our waiver Rubi was so kind to him and very friendly, and helped to make a better birthday to him. Thanks!

We loved it, we went for a schoolarships fundraising night. We spent an awesome* family time, the kids loved the new trampoline area. We spent like 3 hours and didn't realize with all the fun!

Chuck E. Cheese is an amazing place! The games are very fun however, some were not working but mostly it was the ones no one plays. Also I love the fact that they still have the old Chuck E. Cheese logo and still have the art of the 2000s chuck. The food is amazing. The new trampoline?s are very fun even tho it's pretty small. R.I.P playground. Also the Chuck E. Cheese performances do great most of the time.

Great place to host a birthday party for a child!

Its a good place to fun with the kids. The food is very delicious ??.

The place brings excitement to small children who have visited the place for the first several times of their life's; yet even young children become bored with same , especially if no updated versions and variety are introduced to what has been there for years. Aside from playground; service, friendliness, and the special attention given by employees to make birthday parties for children special is definitely very outstanding. All the help you get to organize and set up tables and their attentiveness to y

Love they're summer deals and savings!!

This entrance needs a solid path entrance and a solid path exit made it difficult to be tendered and have people entering and exiting through the same gate. We need more energy in this place felt like I entered a funeral service. We also need better pricing bought a pizza for $10 and let me tell you that thing will only feed you at least an infant. You want business fix the small things.

Had a great time once again. Pretty clean for a place geared for kids. Prices fair too. Wish they had better soda options, but still not anything to drop a star for. Really do like the place. Oh and I love the salads.

My son loves Chuck E. Cheese. To be honest service is always dependent on the staff/traffic. I always feel like the line to pay is long and slow. I had one young man respond to me very rudely when I asked him for a salad plate. But I've also had a great experience when I have my sons party there. I had one girl Annie I believe she was the best! Super helpful and her positive energy was awesome. She made the whole so much easier. She's the only reason this is a 4 star review instead on a 2!

Most horrifying soda selection I've seen in my life. I stand here in absolute disgust that you chose "CHERRY PEPSI" over Sprite and Coca Cola. This act of yours is outrageous and disastrous....it leaves me in an absurd amount of disbelief and it makes me wish that this memory can disappear.

Once they see you winning at a game they go and shut off the game. They have done this every time I start to win at a game and while I'm playing they will come and open the machine and the game no longer works anymore. Very disappointing.

Reason for a two it's based upon food, service, atmosphere, cleanliness, and games. FOOD- Was very mediocre. Wings were frozen and chewy. Pizza was very bland. SERVICE- Only time I received great service was at the counter when I was getting up sale like crazy. Other than that I wait at the ticket counter for around 20 mins. The team member kept leaving to help other guest and wouldn't communicate with me when he did so. Mid sentence he would take off. ATOMSPHERE- The team member really jacked this one up,

The staff was cool, they let us come in before closing to play around a bit. But I'm Pretty sure this is where i got covid?? their appliances were sticky, and most didn't work but yaknow. its laredo so.

Nice n clean venue, attentive staff and fun for children. I wish more parents will enjoy time as a family, instead of being on their phones --you are wasting precious time to bond, to enjoy and to collect fond memories.

All new system but not one employee was excited to work very bad management.. I bought a salad buffet and the salad bar was half empty ,still some ingredients were not fill. The pizza was good with the new cheese flavor.

Rediculous prices for me and my 4 yr old came out to $53.60 what ever you do don't tell them it's your first time. According to them your saving money yeah my 4 yr old had fun it would've been the same thing if I would've taken him somewhere else. But ohh well

My grandsons love this place very funny for little kids

they need a sign that says please dont throw food. our food was thrown away playing. Prices need to be done at the toys section,salad did not look fresh. They had no wings.

This place is horrible!! I had my son's 7th birthday party here and waiting 2 hours for my section. The food was disgusting! The pizza tasted like something out of a microwave. The staff is lazy, I asked for some tables be put together took 30 minutes and me and my husband to do it!!! NEVER WILL RECOMMEND THIS!!!! Oh and they melted my candles on the birthday cake that costed 500 dollars!!!! 500 dollars! and there was no manager eer avaliable

They always have this location clean. They always check when you leave with your children if you are stamped the same.

Great place for families. Love the game selection.

Had a bday party for my daughter and everything was perfect, my attendant was amazing throughout everything and made sure to have everything in order and in time. The food was great! I will difinitly go again.

On a Sunday afternoon, for family time a busser boy name Jose ruined my evening. I went to find my kid and by the time I was back my pizza and phone was gone. Plz talk this young man.

My kids had fun, but the pizza wasn't really good (no flavor literally), not to mention that the fountain drinks had no ice and one of the drinks was out. Being short on staff is what probably didn't help the latter

Good place to that your kids when there's bad weather, which is always in Laredo. It's bigger than other Chuck e's that we're been to. Clean and with good games.

Toys locked up... they have display toys but won't give what's locked up my child left crying ?? spent over hundred dlls eating there and couldn't get a 15 coupon toy because it was locked up even tho display was full on counter display don't understand why they were in the show case .

I was compelled to write this review to relate the issues that I have observed during my son?s first birthday, at Chunky E. Cheese ? Laredo, Texas.

We arrived at the party around 1:45PM, and until 4:00PM I have noticed numerous deficiencies, here are the details: - The personnel were too busy, we had to get the table covers and set the table ourselves. - Around 2:15PM, I w

Great place to take the kids. The all you can play cards for a certain allotted time are great.

They take forever to attend the people who are waiting, they see us waiting/asking for help but they don't bother on attending us . If that would improve that would be great.

No matter how old my kids are they always love going to Chuck E Cheese. I can sit and eat a salad while they run around

Too expensive, the pizza is not that good for my liking, the regular drinks are too small. The coins are expensive. My family and I are not planning to go back

Kids have far more fun here than the other pizza place. Downside...it's always crowded and way noisier than PPP.

Great service and delicious good. Manager Javi was very polite.

Clean throughout. Aside from the stuffed crust being a bit undercooked (doughy) on one side, the food was pretty good.

I spend to much money here all the time. It's too small . Half of the games are out of order, and so are the ticket counting machines , annoying

Our lil kids seem to enjoy themselves every time

Food was good, came out fast. Children's playground needs to cleaned.

Yo i really love this place, myy daughter does to, but thanks to shane i dont think ill eat a pizza from there again

If your in Laredo just go to Main Event or Peter Piper. Its way overpriced here with mediocre food and service.

Pizza is good, and there are coupons online. Games are way cheaper than other pizza and games places.

Really nice place for a family ?? fun day..we really enjoyed the day!

They dont have pizzacombos for kids like they do at peter piper. Too expensive..but kids Like it better than peter piper.

Kids love it. Pizza is terrible. Salad bar is good but extremely expensive.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

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.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

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.

What should I bring to an arcade?

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.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

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.

Can I meet new people at arcades?

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.

Are arcades still just for kids?

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.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

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.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

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.”

Why are arcade prize games so exciting to play?

Arcade prize games are a thrilling highlight in 2025!
