- MDMIDWEST DREAMER2 days ago1.0Waiter Chad never checked on the table. Forgot a meal and all food was cold. Would have to holler at others for him for refills as he never checked on us. Took a long time for him to come back. Needless to say. Service slow. Food cold. And so loud we couldn’t conversate at our table
- TMTwanice MahoskiJan 5, 20265.0Made a reservation which I highly recommend on the weekend it gets very busy. Hostess was very nice and sweet. Angelo was our server and he was amazing. Food came quick and was delicious. Human crane for my daughter was very cool. Overall great experience!
- SFSherry FoggiaDec 28, 20251.0This place is a sham! Got the $59.99 package for the 90 minute unlimited games, plus one meal...but the one meal was another $5.99...some were more..so actually it's $65.98. Never was told the card is not for ALL the games. Never was told you had to wait so many seconds in between games...so on a game that was for several people...does not work. Also, had to swipe the card around 5 times....everytime to get it to work. The worst part of all, that actually voids out the 90 minute unlimited card is......you can only accrue 1500 tickets!!! So half of the time playing the games....no tickets are given!!! Never was told this...it should be posted on signs or something. What's the point of this $60 card then?! The "prizes" can be thousands of tickets to get. There is a sign however at the prize register, that says, you can purchase tickets for the bigger prizes....yes, that's right ..spend more money to get things that are as we know way overpriced to begin with....after purchasing the $65.98, 90 minute unlimited play card!! Never again...I won't be back.

- CBCora BDec 22, 20255.0I had a great experience with my friends here! We were welcomed with a warm greeting by our hostess, Jillian, who was extremely helpful with our questions, and our server, Mert, was also outstanding and super kind.
