Main Event Murfreesboro

Great place to bring your family for a day of fun! Super comparable to a Dave and Busters but with extra activities to do. I saw they have a small bowling alley and laser tag. There's also a restaurant to eat at with a bar for the adults too. My 10 year old son had a blast playing the arcade games! He especially loved the games where he was able to get the collectible cards and these particular games happen to give a good amount of tokens for you to spend at the shop up front. We also found that they pric

We came to Main Event to celebrate my daughter's 12th birthday with some bowling, and we had a great experience! The place was a fun hangout spot?clean, lively, and perfect for a birthday outing. The bowling shoes were clean and well-maintained, and the lanes were in great condition. A big shoutout to our waitress, Natasha, who was incredibly attentive and kind throughout our visit. She really helped make the day special. Highly recommend for family fun or a casual celebration!

Heard about this place a few years ago. Finally went for our kids birthdays. 6 & 9 years old. They loved it all. The bowling, food, and arcade were all great! Family friendly. We're all excited to go back. Recommend reserving bowling lane online and checking for days they are running specials.

This was our first time coming to main event. We enjoyed it but the pricing and purchasing of wristbands/games was confusing. There wasn't anybody around to ask how to go about purchasing the correct things for our experience. We bought a wristband for 25$ a piece and all we did was play lasertag with it. The games weren't included. I had to buy a game card, separately, for another 25$ for 140 coins. I spent too much, I think. The food, I couldn't rate. Overall, my children and their friends enjoyed the pla

The food and drinks were good tonight!!! Friday afternoon 5-8pm. Games a little pricey but fun. Ordered the Slider Sampler Platter, the cheese bread was delicious!!

Awesome late-night activity! Customer service made our large group experience here fantastic. Huge shout out to Colden and the rest of the night staff who were incredibly helpful, fun and hospitable. We were down a player for laser tag and Colden stepped in and made the game SO much fun!!

We had an amazing time! The staff there was Luke, Matt, and Reagan, and they were incredible! They were so helpful, and we got to do everything from bowling to laser tag to arcade games. We cannot thank the staff enough for how kind they were with a large group like ours. We will definitely come back!

We've been here on 2 occasions. Our 1st trip wasn't great. There's not a lot of direction at the door as to how things work- where to go to do what but we played some games and my daughter loved it. So much that we returned for her birthday party. Completely different vibe. Our party host Jessica explained everything. She was super attentive and helpful. She helped the children with every step and was enthusiastic and a joy to be around. The food was great and I think everyone had a wonderful time. Even the

We had so much fun! We didn't do bowling, just lunch and games so we will come back for it. There are tons of games that are really cool such as Mario Kart, VR driver games, and more. We had lunch while we were there and it was delicious. Prices are the same as any normal restaurant. Will definitely be back.

My wife took myself & some friends here for some birthday fun. The pizza was great, games were fun, but best yet, the staff made it a great experience. Steve (I think the manager) helped us out tremendously on multiple occasions and asked us how we were doing every time he passed us. Autumn (our bowling host) was super awesome & nice, and our server (either Katelyn or Krysten, can't 100% remember) did a fantastic job for us on her first weekend there as a server. Overall wonderful experience which highly co

I planned an outing last weekend for my husband?s birthday and I couldn't be happier with choosing Main Event. First we dined and our waitress (I believe her name was Kristen or Kaitlin) was attentive and helpful with choices for our meal. Everyone raved about their entrees (try the hot honey pizza!). Then we played some arcade games. We had a couple issues with some games and spoke to the manager, Steve, who was more than helpful with crediting us back and also getting the games fixed ASAP. After that we w

This was our first visit & I will say I was impressed. It was my son?s birthday but he was the only child with all adults. We got a lane in less than 10 minutes. The service? I don't feel like I can say enough great things about the service we received from the bartender to the manager/server at our table to the young man that climbed into a basketball game to retrieve my nieces fake fingernail ?? I can't make it up! Everyone was so friendly. Food was great & served hot. The cocktails were awesome (highly r

When we arrived, a sweet lady helped with the game cards and saved us a good 25 bucks right there. ?? The 4 of us spent a few hours playing the arcade games. Jay happily greeted us and quickly cleared a table at the Family Kitchen. Elliott took our drink order right away and went even further to find tropical fruit for our drinks. ?? Jay came back with some new additional menu items that were recently added and we were glad because we ordered from those. (Thanks, Jay!??) Elliott got our food order out hot a

We ate dinner at the restaurant in Main Event, and I was surprised how good it was. We got the Hot Honey Pepperoni Pizza, which was on flatbread, and wow. It was so good!!! We also got the fried pickles which were awesome too. A bit salty, but quality pickles. We played some games too, which were fun. They have a good variety, but like everywhere else you go it's pricey.

We went bowling for 2 hours for 5 people and the price was fair. It was about $126 and even the drinks we had was cheaper than other places we've been to. Our server Kia was super attentive and sweet. She even made sure that my 1.5 year old daughter had something to drink and even brought her a cute little unicorn ducky to play with. It was the sweetest thing a server has ever done for our daughter. We highly recommend this place for bowling and games. The adults and kids with us had a blast!

Recently, we visited main event and planned to go bowling. It was confusing that everything is done on a kiosk and you can't simply approach a staff person to book your bowling. We were checking out at the kiosk for one hour and a half of bowling. The grand total was over $80 for a party of two! We were both shocked and taken back. I refused to go bowling when I saw this outrageous price. We both left discussing that bowling should be around the $25-$35 range. Why is main event so outrageously expensive? Sh

Our company did a team building event at Main Event Murfreesboro. We had a fantastic time. The facility was clean, the staff was friendly and helpful from start to finish. Jessica and Chandler were our hosts and we couldn't have had a better pair to facilitate our activities. Thank you very much.

We enjoyed the Yes Day Special! The kids had a blast and there were no crowds or wait times. Adonis was our server and was very attentive and helpful with getting us everything we needed! Will definitely come back.

1st time being at the main event. Awesome experience very chilled but exciting environment. Great for family time and friend time. Our hostess Rakia was very pleasant and enjoyable to be around. She took care of us and made sure we understood how everything worked. Hospitality was on point.

Second time trying to do both food and entertainment, the service for food was terrible. Our waitress came back once. Maybe twice. I came with my husband and 3 kids. She had to ask us if it was going to be separate checks or all together. That threw us for a loop as we're both wearing wedding bands. We ordered fried pickles. They sat on the warmer for at least 5 minutes before coming to us. Consistently asking for extra napkins. Finally our food came. We had chicken nachos. Found a long black hair in the na

Had a blast today celebrating my wife?s birthday. Best part of the experience was the fantastic service by Adonis. Very friendly and always professional. Took great care of us and WE WILL be back and will specifically ask for Adonis! You should too!!!

We had a wonderful experience thanks to some amazing employees! Thank you Hailey Mayes, Heather Johnson, Emma Simpson and Bee! You all went above and beyond to make my Niece?s Birthday Celebration Special!!! I will definitely be recommending that families share there special events at The Main Event! -Holly Sims Haley

I went here for the third time and decided to try out the bowling lanes. I paid at the kiosk and was told to go to the bowling check in counter and someone would be with me shortly. After 20 minutes of standing at the counter with several employees (including the one working the counter) making clear eye contact no one approached to help. After sending someone back to the kiosk the employee in charge of bowling made her way to the counter. She assigned us a lane and said she'd get us a server to order some

The food was amazing and our waitress Kia was great,we will definitely be back!

Our server Autumn was very friendly and attentive. We went on a Saturday and had some drinks and appetizers. She checked on us often and got us our drinks/food quickly. Highly recommend the Main Event as a place to go to for a cute date, and Autumn was great!

I had my twin daughters 30th birthday party there on 3-30-2025. My daughters are special needs and they treated them as if they were just like everyone else. Chandler and Jessica were awesome. We were in the vip lounge and it was awesome. The food was great. Those are the best fries served HOT I have ever had. They were so good I think my daughter ordered 3 orders. Again I would like to thank Chandler and Jessica. They made our day perfect. I will be going back. In fact we are going back tomorrow. They are

We had a team party at Main Event and it went SO smooth. They were so helpful and accommodating and the boys had a blast. Thanks so much Main Event!

The best family fun or date night or friends going out place in Middle TN! THE HAVE THE BEST ARCADE WE HAVE BEEN TO!!! Very well rounded with games for all ages and different types! Great price. LaEr tag kept a smile.on our faces and competition exciting! We did not get to eat and bowl this time but definitely trying it out next time. We spent 4 houra just in the arcade and 2 games of laser tag and never got bored! They have nailed it all!

Very good first impression! The staff were friendly, even went to find people to play laser tag with us, so it wasn't just 1v1. The food was AMAZING for an entertainment venue like this. Pricing was great! Only complaint would be that you had to decide at the very start if you want to bowl, then bowl right away. We were hoping to do some other things THEN go bowling, but that wasn't an option with the automatic system. Wish this was different. But overall, we had a good time

The pizza we ordered was quite small for 20$ and the kids meal wasn't a bad portion for my two year old nephew. However , Marten was working the cashier right beside the bar and he went above and beyond. Although they shut down he still took care of everyone and that's how an employee should treat a customer. He gave to go boxes , answered all the questions I had and was more than generous. He definitely needs a raise. Overall I would rate this experience a 8.

0/10 do not recommend the restaurant 3/10 for arcade. Ate at the restaurant inside main event. Atmosphere was good. We sat at a table for almost 15 minutes waiting for a server. Once one came over she stopped and said ?this other table was here first, I'll be back in a few? but they had just been sat. Server basically disappeared after we got our food. Two of our meals came out wrong. My husbands drink was incorrect and he was never able to get another one. Cesar salad came out with so much dressing that it

Khai is the best server! Food was great, service was great and games were fun.

Held my son?s birthday party here this past weekend and had an outstanding experience. Our party host was wonderful and very patient. She was on top of everything and beyond helpful. The food was amazing and the atmosphere was so fun! We will definitely be back.

We love this place ! The staff goes out of their way to guide/ help you . Today Bryan helped us upload our cards ! He gave us a free shot at a ? claw game ..which he did not have to do . He also helped us when we thought a card was not working .. he went above and beyond with a smile on his face . He was so helpful and friendly and also administered laser tag for the girls . The food is actually amazing ! The prices are great ! My daughter got the chicken dippers with fried and her friend got the personal

Kia was an exceptional server! At the time she was training another person, and showed attention to detail through refills and the well prepared food. She made my daughter?s sixth birthday special with the entire team singing Happy Birthday! She deserves the highest promotion! A true and honest customer satisfactory experience. Team Kia!!!

Disrespectful & Unprofessional Experience ? Needs Corporate Attention I'm extremely disappointed in the treatment my group received at Main Event Murfreesboro. We were a party of nine enjoying a night out, but our experience was ruined by poor service and unacceptable behavior from the manager on duty?a white male named Michael Jordan. First, we waited nearly an hour for food, and multiple mistakes were made with our orders. Items were missing, incorrect food kept being brought out, and we had to repeated

Great place to host a birthday party for your little. Are rent dome lanes for bowling.

Our waiter, Natasha, was very attentive and very respectful! I would recommend this place to anyone that asks about a good place to bring your family and friends and have a great time!

First visit. Awesome atmosphere. We done arcades and proceeded to bowl for a two hour slot on two lanes. I was out with my friends family from out of town. We had a party of ten. The night was awesome until we started ordering drinks and food. The food took forever. Drink was subpar, and I mentioned it to the waitress. She took the drink and said I'll get it taken off your bill. When she brought another round, my friend wasn't happy with hers but didn't ask for another but just expressed dislikes. We car

My family and I always have a fun time at our local Main Event in Murfreesboro! We really enjoy the servers there. We really enjoyed our server Kia who took care of our large party. Will definitely return.

My partner and I have been to many arcades, and unfortunately, this was the worst we have visited. Nearly every game we tried to play had some kind of malfunction. The Quick Drop game initially seemed fair and winnable. However, after a malfunction where it only counted 25 balls despite us catching all 50, a man who appeared to be a manager came over and adjusted the game by cutting the time allowed in half. This made it impossible to win and was disappointing because it was one of the few games that had b

The games were great... But if you're considering to eat here, just know it'll take HOURS. The waitress kept messing up and bringing other peoples drinks to our table. Somehow they said their system got missed up and our order didn't go through, so we were waiting for about 3 hrs in total wait. Food was good when it finally came out but the wait was outrageous.... We only waited because my kids really wanted to eat here

Jessi was the kindest server I have ever had she gave my friend bob from Long Island the best Long Island he's had ! Sampler plate was perfect not undercooked or over seasoned! Will be back for sure!

We really enjoy this place! We have done a birthday party here for my young brother and we've just come here for bowling and the arcade. We have a good time every time and their food is very very decent tasting for a place like this. They have an actual restaurant in there which is really nice. This is also a great place for a date night for the adults!! It's great for both young and older in my opinion. When we are there the server Kia is always so sweet. She is very attentive and quick! She gives great se

Took our son to Main Event for his 11th birthday! We had a great time. Will come back!

I brought my daughter in to hangout with friends. I decided to get a snack. T meet me with a smile and happiness to be there. He got my snacks with a pleasantness that made my day! It is rare to find people who genuinely want to make others happy! I also witnessed T take pride in his job by helping others, cleaning the dining area, and checking back in with me while I sat in his area. Great experience!

I often look at google reviews and when looking at one star review I often feel that the reviewer is writing out of pure emotion or is being overly dramatic in their assessment. But after much reflection and time thinking about it, I can tell you that I'm being honest when I say this arcade was a one star experience. This review focuses on just food service and game experience. I decided to go to Main Event because both me and my partner have gone to and enjoyed several arcades together. We went to Main Ev

Since Main Event opened my children have wanted to come. So we gathered the cousins and finally went. I paid $250 for 5 playing cards. The price of the cards is not the shocker, the price of the games are. We've gone to many places with playing cards and this one seemed to run out crazy fast (took 30 minutes). Most games seemed to be 8 credits which is a little higher than other places. We then decided to grab a pizza. We all know the expectation for food at these types of places is low. However, if teenage

We had a blast! Jayda was our server and she was phenomenal! Super personable and friendly, will definitely be back!

Jessi was an amazing bartender / server and I definitely recommend her! she made sure our drinks were exactly how we liked them and that our food was good.

Jessi was amazing!! Best bartender at ME hands down!! Ask for her!! She will get you right!! Autumn was our server as well and she was also amazing!!

Our bartender Mesha is the best ! We love her and make sure to come when she is there ! We've only been twice so far but both experiences have been fantastic! Big shout out to her ??

We rented out their private bowling area and had an awesome time. The service was wonderful! Haleigh took GREAT care of us, and we will absolutely request her as our host every time. I definitely recommend this space for private parties!

Food is always A++++ especially the honey sirracha wings . Kia was our waitress and she was so attentive , nice and personable . We also got the huge ice cream sundae and shared it . SOO good. thanks for making our family day a good one KIA!

I went there for three parties and a school field trip and every time was amazing. The timed cards don't include the coin games like willy wonka, angry birds, etc. but it is still so fun. I got the giant icecream sundae and shared it with two people .(would recommend sharing with more people, it was a lot) The only problem was the volume, but that is good for a arcade/bowling place.

Absolutely amazing! We've done three birthdays here and they are all the best value we've ever gotten. Shout out to our host Sarah for making this birthday party great!

Angela was amazing. She was always checking in with us and getting our orders so quickly. She was so wonderful wmwith her positive attitude and smile. Thank you for the best snow day ever!

Pretty fun, cool games and great bowling. Service at the food tables was alright took about 20 minutes to get our order taken and 20 more to get it out so not too bad. 2 chicken sandwiches and 1 large cheese pizza. The chicken Sandwiches were fantastic but our cheese pizza tasted pretty average. All in all was great and we'll be back to try it all again soon. Very likely they were still getting everything squared away as they just opened officially 2 days before we went but did a great job all in all. We'll

We had a great time here! We played games and won lots of prizes and the games were great! We did some bowling and also had some great pizza and burgers! We will definitely be coming back for more fun here! Would highly recommend this place for kids of all ages and adults!

I came for my 30th birthday with friends and family, had an amazing experience! Avah took amazing care of us in the restaurant, service and food were amazing. As a local I think this place is not only a destination for a special occasion but also a great location for a weekend date night or fun dinner!

We have had Hailey be our party hostess on several events now and I just have to say, she's absolutely amazing!! Kind, attentive, fun, and always super engaging. Takes care of everything, remembers our favorite drinks and our kids names. Highly recommend everyone asks her to host their party. She's absolutely a treasure to work with! 10 STAR SERVICE!!!

Natasha was the bomb!! We want to come back to see her again but we live out of town. Thanks Main Event and Natasha. God bless!

We had tons of fun. We played a vast variety of games. We will definitely return!

The service was great! Kia and Autumn did an amazing job checking in with us throughout our meal. We will be back!

Overall a great place and fun attractions, the restaurant has amazing food, BUT the restaurant staff rather stand around and talk instead of waiting on customers!! This was our third time giving the restaurant a chance because we like the food however from now on we will definitely be eating before we come!

Jessi at the bar was so amazing! I just turned 21 and was kind of lost, but she helped me figure out what to order and I got to try a few different things. My favorite was her special Hennessey mai tai! She was so nice to me and my friend and she really took care of us, even suggesting we get a snack if we planned to keep drinking. We got the cheesy bread and it was super yummy. My phone died and she let me use hers to book a Uber. She even packed our food for us and gave us to-go marinara and waters for ou

T and Kaitlyn were amazing and made sure our food drinks were taken care of. Everything was reasonable. They accepted cash. My card was hacked into so cash was all I had so that was definitely a plus. I would 100% recommend

Had my daughter?s birthday party here and the hosts were fantastic ! I had 30 kids and they ran hard and were amazing ! Food was excellent ! I recommend having your child?s birthday party here !!

The food is good but the wait times are ridiculous. There wasn't many people there to eat and the food took an hour to come out. I ordered an appetizer and they brought it out with the main dishes. The point is to bring it out before the main meals get there. Even our waitress was complaining about only have two managers in the building. The games are fun but I would eat somewhere else if you don't plan to wait an hour.

The main reason for this review is the manager's lack of effort at service recovery. We came here for my daughter's birthday and spent some time in the arcade. Afterwards, we got food at the restaurant. Unfortunately, one of our drinks was about 15 minutes delayed, after the other drinks were served, the server (although friendly) was not responsive. With an empty restaurant this should have been caught quicker. The biggest issue was with a pizza we had ordered. It took 30+ minutes to be brought to our tabl

Natasha was great! made sure we were good after getting our stuff and always checked up on us!!

Kia was a fantastic server. The food and drinks brought out quickly and she made great recommendations on the menu.

Titan had an excellent greeting on our first time in. Alex and DeAndre at the bar made the best drinks! Hayden hooked us up with the coolest laser tag experience of the weekend!

Had a great date with my wife! Jessi was wonderful with helping us find vegan food, and N/A drinks!! Games are fun!

We had the best experience with Kia as our server while we bowled. She was very attentive and super sweet!

I'm visiting TN as a tourist and couldn't believe my eyes. It is absolutely appalling seeing all of the waiters working the skin off their bones. Even the manager was moving non stop and out of breath. Whoever the owner is should be ashamed of being so stingy and cheap. Shame on you! Just hire more people, you've got floods of customers coming in constantly. The least you could do is give them a raise. Grey service, but I'd enjoy my food knowing that the workers were better taken care of good grief.

We had our company party at Main Event. We had a room to ourselves for an hour to eat and present our awards. The food was delicious. Jessica was very attentive; kept our glasses full, empty plates cleared, she is so friendly.

The manager/bar tender, Angela, at this establishment was inattentive and rude. My date and I come in to be seated for the dining area. It's about 5 tables taken and 1 party at the bar. We wait for about 7mins with no one addressing us. So I kindly walk to the bar where the bartender/manager was located and asked if we wait to be seated or seat ourselves. She dismissed me and said a waitress who was already quite busy will seat us. Mind you the bartender/manager had just passed out her one drink to the one

Had the BEST experience today with the BEST server Avah. She was extremely friendly and personable and was on top of the service. Would definitely come back. Food was great!

This was a work party, and it was exceptional. Sure it would have been nice if they had given their bartender a backup, but maybe we didn't explain our group well enough. The food was good, we had access to all kinds of entertainment, and for a 3 hour part, well I headed to the hotel 5 hours in trusting people to make good decisions. You want team building? Play laser tag. Hunting your boss is fun for everyone.

Been here twice and will continue my wife and I have been going to dave and busters for years but sorry no more main event is the place much cleaner got to talk to the manager great person and great service staff was very good thank you for the great experience

Don't fall for the "VIP bowling" BS on the kiosk. It says there is a 0 minute wait no matter what. The staff doesn't care that the kiosk is wrong either. The suggestion I was given to "fix" the situation was to go spend money playing games while I waited.

It was a nice reprieve, after the scheduled reunion festivities, to pull away and have unlimited fun playing games. It was less than 5 minutes from our hotel, which was a major plus.

Came in with my family to get out of the rain and kill some time. After checking out the games the kids decided they wanted to bowl instead (the noise in the arcade area was just a bit too much for our son who has a sensory processing disorder). Our server Ashley came over right away and helped us figure everything out. She was super sweet, attentive, and polite and her suggestions were perfect; she even helped us save some money! She suggested the sliders and more platter bc it had a little bit of almost

It's loud. It's expensive. Several of the games didn't work with the fun card. We went for a birthday party, and I waited for a few minutes at the counter to get my oldest a drink since she wasn't part of the party. No one ever came to the counter even though that's where the server working with the party told me to go to buy a drink. The chicken nuggets served at the party were pretty good, but the fries were not. My 6 year old had fun, but it's not a place I'd want to go again.

Great service and delicious food. Kia and Makayla were our servers and did a wonderful job at servicing us throughout our meal. I will definitely be returning back.

Newer family activity center in M'boro. Similar offerings as others in the area with arcade games, bowling, laser tag, etc. Large selection of games for kids and teens. Pricing for food and activities a bit higher than the competition. The large selection of arcade games means it gets LOUD, so you may wanna consider some hearing protection for those vulnerable. There seriously needs to be some federal regulation of the volume levels of arcade games, as many of these games are way too loud IMO. All in all, a

Tyler was very helpful when i came into Main Event for my 1st time. He allowed me to look around with my kids and he also explained the various activities. He checked on us and made sure we were ok and having fun.
