    Bathrooms have been a disaster the last few times we have been; no toilet covers, paper towels out, very little to no toilet paper in the stall, floors a mess, and tonight wasn't any different. I used the family restroom to change our 4 month old.The changing table was dirty, no toilet seat cover, floor a mess, trash over flowing and pee all over the toilet seat - I skipped using it myself. The bar was out of a few selections and the place just seemed under staffed. I'd hate to see the kitchen.

    I came here to go bowling, and the whole experience was terrible. They told me the wait would be less than 30 minutes, but I ended up waiting over 1 hour and 30 minutes. When I asked how much longer it would take, the staff just smiled and laughed instead of giving me a real answer. It felt disrespectful and unprofessional

    Great place to escape the seriousness of the world and have fun. Overall great place, but some of the arcade games were rather unflattering. Our waitress, Elle, was amazing, as well as our bartender, Tanya.

    I wanted to share feedback about our recent experience hosting a birthday party at your location. This was actually our third time celebrating at Main Event, but unfortunately, the service quality has declined with each visit, and this time was particularly disappointing.Our assigned party host was not present even 15 minutes before the scheduled start time. We were left waiting with the cake and guests until she finally arrived. Throughout the party, she was not engaged or helpful — she mostly stood near the table while we tried to manage everything ourselves, including setting up the table, cutting the cake, serving drinks, and slicing pizza for the kids. We have photos showing that it was us and other parents who ended up handling all of this.We did speak with the manager, who was very understanding and kind enough to apologize in person, and we truly appreciate that gesture. However, the lack of support from our assigned host made the entire experience extremely stressful and disappointing.We’ve been loyal customers for several years and had always chosen Main Event for its fun environment and convenience, but this experience has made us reconsider hosting future parties here. I hope you can review what went wrong with your party service process and ensure other families don’t face a similar experience.

    I booked a birthday party at Main Event hoping for a fun family experience, but it was a huge letdown. We arrived early as requested but had to wait over an hour for a table, with no clear communication or help from staff. The hosts were unorganized and unprofessional, mixing up party details and failing to assist properly. Food arrived late and without basic necessities like napkins or utensils. Promised activities were canceled or mishandled, and the overall service was chaotic and disrespectful. Despite my daughter having some fun, the poor management and rude staff ruined the experience. I paid over $300 for this and will never return or recommend this place. They need serious improvements in training and customer service.
