    Visited with my nephews. They enjoyed it . But what I did not like is restaurant’s host staff. I came to ask for a table and the 2 guys stared at me for the longest ever in my life . Then one of them just start to scroll on the computer. For the moment I thought they are not gonna let me in lol. Cause I felt like I am in a White House .

    Great place to go to play games of skill and chance during the cold winter months here in Schaumburg. We really appreciate that there were dozens of games to pick from and plenty of room over two floors for people to spread out. One or two of the games were not working correctly and I appreciate that the staff were on top of it and they gave us a credit on another game. We came here with a group of 30-year-olds and we all had a blast.

    Got seated at an upstairs high top we waited there for 20 mins was never greeted by anyone servers walked past us numerous of times even Serve the table behind us then I proceeded to ask the bartender where our server was and he said he apologizes that he would get one right over to us 15 more minutes go by we still have no service at that point I’m hot and irritated so we ended up just leaving. This is not the first time this has happened and I don’t know if you guys are just understaffed or what’s going on but I just found it. Unacceptable that I waited 30 minutes and somebody still didn’t approach us and the manager walked by us as well. She was an African-American lady with With braids in her hair so we just got up and left we love coming here, but the service is just so shitty. I’m sorry.

    To go there and play games is fine but as for the food it’s a joke.My husband ordered chicken fingers and the portion looked like it was from the kids menu.Totally overpriced for what you get.Never will eat there again.

    Our group was refused alcohol service despite presenting valid, government-issued identification that clearly showed we were over the legal drinking age. Staff informed us that there was a local law in Schaumburg requiring a U.S. ID to be served alcohol. We were unable to find any posted signage in the venue or information on the company’s website explaining this requirement. If this is an internal policy, it would be helpful for it to be clearly communicated to customers in advance. Stating it as a legal requirement, rather than a house policy, was confusing and frustrating. Clearer communication and better staff training would greatly improve the customer experience. Unfortunately, due to this situation, we would not choose to return.
