The arcade and activities are great. Don’t waste your time in the restaurant. Every table was filthy including the one we sat in, which was never cleaned after we sat down. The wait staff stood in a corner socializing and on their phones. We had to get up to request napkins. After our food was delivered we requested silverware, but it was never delivered. After waiting a long time for our bill, I stood up and made eye contact with the group on their phones, nothing. I Ended up requesting our bill from the hostess, who was kind and helpful. The food was not good, the chicken tenders were tough and all breading. The boneless wings were not hot. Normally I would kindly request a new plate, but the wait staff never left their social circle to help us. Do not waste your money in the restaurant. Judging by other reviews, the terrible service is an ongoing problem.

Main Event is more than just an arcade — it’s the place where everything comes together. The lights, the music, the nonstop energy the moment you walk in makes it feel like the night is already a win. Every corner is packed with something to do, whether it’s grinding arcade games for tickets, going head-to-head in air hockey, or trying to flex your skills at the basketball hoops. It’s the kind of place where competition gets loud, laughs come easy, and time flies without you even noticing. You’re not just playing games — you’re creating memories, talking trash with friends, celebrating wins, and laughing off losses. The vibe stays alive the whole time, and there’s always something new calling your attention. Main Event is where birthdays turn legendary, hangouts turn unforgettable, and regular nights turn into stories you keep talking about. It’s pure fun, no stress, just action, energy, and good times all around.

Main event is only good for bowling. About 1/3 of the games are broken, another 1/3 will just steal your points/tickets and then wont play, employees sitting on there phones, no one fixing any games, children jumping around on the games. Watched a kid stomp on the card reader at the connect 4 basketball game. All the claw games are obviously rigged, this place literally has no shame. The games are 7.5pts-25pts per games. So you come here drop a couple hundred dollars on game points/tickets and get it stolen back from you. They basically bank on the fact you'll get tired of going to ask the workers for your points back when the game breaks or steals your tickets. I highly recommend you dont spend your money on the game cards here. Go to round one, dave and busters, and honestly even peter piper pizza is better for games.

I live near Main Event and it is absolute gem. Great Value, Staff, Management, Food and Service. I have never had a bad experience.
I have never really been a bowler, but I really love bowling at Main Event. I think the food is very affordable and for this type of venue, the food is really above standard. Joseph, a server in the bowling lanes, is truly great and has made every visit special.
I have never really been a fan of the “Dave and Busters” type of establishments, but this place is different. Highly recommended.
