- CLChad Lynema1 day ago5.0We had an absolutely amazing time at Main Event! Our group came for a night out and it honestly exceeded every expectation. The laser tag was a total blast, the arcade games kept everyone busy and competitive, and the bowling lanes were clean & fun. On top of all that, the food was delicious and came out fast — perfect for keeping the fun going without long breaks. The staff was friendly, helpful, and made the whole experience even better. If you're looking for a place that has something for everyone and guarantees a good time, Main Event is it. We can’t wait to go back! 🎉
- JJJ1 day ago5.0Ended my kids birthday here and honestly wish we would have spent the beginning of it here too instead of at GR Skate.
- ACAnaya Mumin (Cadence)Nov 16, 20252.0The Arcade area is 5⭐️, but the dining.. didn't have a good experience ngl! Food was Ice cold🧊I wouldn't recommend eating here.. but if you want a salad, the house salad is pretty good tbh💯❤️
- GSGabriel SilvaNov 15, 20254.0This place was a lot of fun, good sized area for kids and bowling. Nice sized bar in the back with pool tables for adults. The variety of games were good and fun!! I did have an issue with one game (claw machine) and the manager and maintenance staff were a great help as well. It was building was clean and the bathroom were too. The one complaint I have is the staff at the bar was sooooo slow and with only 7 seats occupied the food time took the same as a regular packed restaurant. When I asked for a refill on my drink the guy said I had to ask the other guy behind the bar??? Even with that I would totally go back and recommend the $53 package for games and food choices. I went with the double cheeseburger and it was good and juicy, the seasoned fries were flavorful. The loaded queso dip was nice and thick. Good was good.
- KOKate OsbournNov 15, 20254.0My goodness. Was it loud inside?. We came at a bad time. The the place probably opened recently. The whole kitchen staff was having a meeting when we got in and it took quite a while to get our food. Lots of games. I think it's probably overpriced for everything, but it was a fun family date and we will probably go again and try to aim for a less crowded time.
