My children enjoyed the place when they were young. The pizza is not the best but it's not bad. A good place to have a childs birthday party.

I WORK AT CHUCK E CHEESE'S IN INDIANA AND THE PLACE ALWAYS GETS GOOD COMMENTS. EVERYONE THINKS OUR PIZZA IS BAD ON THIS SITE BUT I CAN'T SEE HOW... OUR PIZZA IS NOT FROZEN... IN FACT WE GO IN AT 8:00 AM TO ROLL OUT THE DOUGH SO THAT IT IS PROOFED BY 9:00 WHEN WE OPEN... WE DO ROLL OUT 3 TIMES A DAY SOMETIMES MORE IT JUST DEPENDS ON HOW MANY PEOPLE WE HAVE COME TO OUR STORE. OUR FOOD IN INDIANA IS NOT OVER PRICED. FOR A LARGE PIZZA 4 LARGE DRINKS(FREE REFILLS) AND 100 TOKENS IS ONY 32.00 THATS NOT EXPENSIVE. ALL OF OUR GAMES ARE JUST ONE TOKEN. SO WITH 100 TOKENS YOU CAN GET A FAIRLY AMOUNT OF TICKETS... YES I ADMIT THAT THE PRIZES ARE BULL SH** BUT WHEN ITS A PLACE AIMING TOWARDS 2-12 YEAR OLDS WHAT CAN YOU REALLY EXPECT? SO URGE EVERYONE TO GO TO A CHUCK E CHEESE AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT THIS TIME THEN IM SORRY AND THE PLACE WHERE YOU LIVE NEEDS SO BETTER PEOPLE WORKING THERE OR YOU JUST NEED TO FIND A CHUCK E CHEESE THAT HAS GOOD FOOD AND GOOD EMPLOYEES. THANK YOU FOR READING THIS IF YOU DID AND PLEASE RESPOND BACK... ASHLEY

Here Goes, THE MOST HONEST REVIEW YOU WILL EVER READ ---- 1. OVERPRICED PIZZA, OVERPRICED GAMES & OVERPRICED EVERYTHING, SO THAT THEY CAN MAKE A BUCK, SALAD IS OK, if the people dont put their hands all over it 2. VERY AVERAGE OR GRUMPY EMPLOYEES THAT DONT REALLY WANNA WORK HERE and dont even look like they wanna work here, 2. AVERAGE OR MIDDLE TO LOW AVERAGE ENTERTIENMENT, NOT EVEN ANY COMPARISION TO DISNEY or anything entertaining. Just a little kiddie facad of lights. 3. IF YOU WANNA SAVE A BUNDLE AND STILL HAVE A GREAT TIME, GO TO A MCDONALDS WITH A BIG PLAY AREA OR GO TO A NATHANS WITH A BIG PLAY AREA, you can enjoy the same thing for about $4 DOLLARS THAT you have to pay $30+ dollars at this grumpy old place run by grumpy old staff that really dont wanna work here that are flipping out out of box pizzas for over 30 dollars a pop TO HUSSLE PARENTS into an extremely average place. chuck - IF YOU READING THIS - get your act in order, ramp up your place LIKE DISNEY, then you can charge disney prices, OTHERWISE, you are selling freebee MCdonalds and nathans rids for $30 BUCKS A ripoff to parents. parents - UNTIL CHUCK LIVES UP TO ITS DEAL, better off at mc d'S or nathans, HAVE JUST AS MUCH FUN FOR LESS PRICE AND HAVE IT ALL ANYWAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!! TRUTH OF LIFE!

It's for kids, but good Pizza!!!!!!!

I found the pizza at Chucky Cheese surprisingly good,better than what I had expected. As for the atmosphere, YIKES. I don't know how the employees in those places can stand it. What's wrong with parents. They just let their kids run loose like little animals. They and sometimes their parents are rude slobs. They spill food and drinks all over, the kids scream and yell with no one to tell them to shut up or quiet down. They don't follow directions or take turns like they're suppose to at the games or at the ticket redeeming place-sometimes the adults are worse than the kids. Rarely if ever do I see a tip left on the table for the poor people who can't find better jobs elsewhere. Of course if you left a tip on the table some of the little (or oldeer) animals would probably take it. I usually try to hand it to our waitress. I go there because my nephew and neice like it, I stay with them, watch them, make them follow the rules. Isn't that what responsible adults are suppose to do. The rest of you-what a bunch of jerks. If you can't make your kids behave when you take them out ANYWHERE then keep the brats at home.

well i agree with alot of people i too have stood for hrs and get no break... (they tell me to open my mouth and ask?) hmm thats management for ya...i have worked there for over a year and they have had maybe 8 or more mangers... they cut hrs send ya home early but when the college kids come home for holiday breaks they get hrs! and i have been called not so nice things by managers who don't know how to treat there employee's...

I had a terrible experience at Chuckie Cheese's in Killeen, TX.on the evening of Dec.4,2004. 1. I am 60 years old and because of my background I did not want to be stamped as I considered it tatooing and labeling. I did not feel I should have to have a sticker either which is a tag. I have never had this happen at any other Chuckie Cheese restaurant in other cities only here. I fee they should insist that old people go through process. Think about it and you history Jewish people are offended having to be tatooed and black people cannot accept labels. I hate the treatment I received Dec.4 and I hope you give instructions to worker to not to force that issue if people have problems with markings. This policy can bring up old hurtful memories. Please stop requiring adults to be stamped or taged if they say no. I sure would like a letter that I can show the worker here so I can go to your restaurant and enjoy a wonderful Pizza. Thank you for your time.ML Turner-Grubb.

i have worked at chuck e cheeses about a year now good benefits but,the managers are bad dont know how to talk to and treat employees,sometimes we never even get a break unless you ask and then sometimes you get static,starting time well,,,some of the young kids that work there doesnt know what that is always late ,or quitting time relief never shows up on time ,and noone seems to care ,except the person that has been slaving all dayon his feet,sit down is a no no at our store,so you get pretty tired,in other words the treat employees like dirt,at least our store,i could go on and on but you get the picture disgruntled employee

Heres the dish, I work at CEC, been working there for about a month now. First off, I dont know where people get off saying the pizza sucks and the food sucks and blah blah blah...I think the pizza is delicious, borderline addicting.I think it's better then pizza hut. The problem here might be one thing, the pizza tastes good fresh and hot, but when it's left sitting out, it can be quite nasty. I've bussed enough tables full of left out pizza, it looks down right unedible. So if there is a problem with the pizza at your CEC, it may be that the people supost to be running them arent getting them as soon as thier out of the oven. We keep them under heat lamps, so it shouldn't be too cold. Second, if you dont like pizza, order something else! We have a salad bar with a huge array of stuff, even pasta salad! Sandwiches, wings, and when all else fails we even have alcohol! I will agree that prices are a little steep, but at least it's quality. We usualy have 1-3 people working in the kitchen, and thats on a busy day, so don't complain that your order is taking too long..do you want it done right, or crappy. I've done everything from kid check, run/bus, parties, and Chuck himself. Were working for you, the consumer, most of us no more then min wage. And all the tip I get is when someone leaves change on the table from thier dinner. Think about that next time your out to dinner at CEC.

I love Chuck E Cheese!!You know why,well because of a realy nice guy I met there. He was a tech and realy smart who had a green Chevrolet.I thought this place was for babies but it turns out I was wrong. The only reason I always wanted to go was to see him , though I was shy and my sister told him I liked him< (that was true.)I wish the best to all of ya'll because you find the coolest people at the weirdest places,also that i could know where he is cuz he doesn't work there anymore.I wish I lived in Boca Raton!!!!!I am always thinking of how much fun i had there with ,JJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJ!!!!!!!Go dolphins !!!!I love Jason Taylor#99.JJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJ my sister likes Patrick . Love YOU STILL+

The pizza is good, but the game's are for little kids.

I also work at CEC and in all honesty all these ratings are from elders. Think about CEC is all about the satisfaction of kids... Many parents don't like it because its loud or they don't like the pizza or whatever the reason. Did you ever think to ask how your child likes it because I bet 9/10 children would rate CEC a 5 if they could. CEC is not a place for adults its a place for kids. So give in once in awhile instead of going to Applebee's, Long Horn, ect.. places where children don't have much choice of what to do but sit down and eat. Treat them to a fun time at CEC where we make magic. Also I love all those parents out there that complain and complain about CEC but still spend 100's of dollars there. Obviously were doing something right.

DISGUSTING!!!!! :(

Average pizza, kids love it. I always liked Showbiz better.

When I was younger these places were dark and loud with the latest video arcade games. Well it stayed dark and the games got stale as did the Pizza. The last time I was in one there was a lot more light the Pizza was a lot better but the games were more for little kids which is ok especially if you have a family. I had an a relative that actually had his 18th birthday at Chuck E. Cheese.

I work there, I have read some of the posts here. To some of you, grow up. To some others, you do have liable concerns, and we not be perfect, like the whole fire exit thing and the sky tubes. To yet others, Shut up, and listen, we arent there for you to walk all over, we are there to ensure your kids have a fun and safe time. To my fellow cast members, rock on, you are doing awsome.

One time in about 1983,i was playing Defender and i walked over to my mom to get more change.As i strolled past the animatronic band,Jasper Jowels reached out like a somnambulst from a German expressionist film and grabbed my arm.I swear they used the infrastructure to the Bionic Bigfoot,the pain was etraordinary.I managed to escape with minor bruising and a slight tear in my Life Sucks t shirt.Later i realized the secret to these horrible automatons. Rope sausage.. rope...sausage.

If I was a kid. I'd give this a 5. But today the things and arcades there are overated. Skip it.P.S: They have great pizza.

Not a gourmet eatery to go out of your way for, that's for sure. however, the food is tolerable and the pizza is much better than one might expect.

What do they do? Take the pizzas out of the freezer and pop them into an oven? Over priced and over rated.

I am an employee at a CEC located in San Diego, CA. As an employee, I am not allowed to tell our customers off. However, here, I can. Soooo let's get to it. First of all, I cannot begin to explain how horrible some of you parents are. If you think CEC is some sort of day care, you are wrong. Those of you who let your kids run around screaming on the top of their lungs, I hope you would die. What parent let's their child scream and run inside a restaraunt? Please, tell your ugly kid to shut up and to change his underwear, he smells like sh*t. Next, this is for you incosiderate jerk offs that make a mess and just leave it for us employees to clean up. If you're one of these a holes who do this, leave a tip! We are a restaraunt. We buss your tables, leave a freaking tip. At ALL other restaraunts you leave a tip, what's the difference? None, that's what. Next. This is for you a holes who tell me how to do my job. Several times a night, some piece of s**t customer comes to me with a game problem and tries telling me what's wrong with it. You'e always wrong. Let me do my job, and I'll let you do yours which is being a P.O.S. parent. So stop giving me advice on how to fix something, I know how. So for those people, I have some advice for you, die. Next, people who complain about the food. First of all, go to hell. I'm sick and tired of hearing people complain about our food. If you don't like it, why do you buy it? Simple as that. If you're going to complain about our food, but continue to buy it, you should be burned at the stake. Next item: ticket counters. Those of you morons who can't get more than 15 tickets, you get ONE thing out of the 15 ticket category. Not 3 things out of the 1000 category, so make up your mind, shut up, and get out. Along these lines, if you don't speak english, please don't expect me to help you in any way. I won't. And if you want to talk to my manager, he's right here inbetween my index finger and my ring finger. Next, people, how difficult is it to keep parmesan cheese on the table? It's not! So do it. Don't let your stupid children throw it around. If you do, I will personally come and throw your child around. Next, if your child throws up, sh**s, or pisses ANYWHERE in the building, why should I have to clean it up? This is to all the parents of the childrens' excrements I have cleaned up in the past year, F.U.! Another thing, all CECs close at 10 PM. So get out at 10 PM. I think I should be able to kill the next person who stays in our building past ten o' clock. If I have described you in any of these issues, I hate you, and God hates you.

My buddy Nick has provided me with some insight on Chuck E. Cheese, and maskots in general. He's the friend that you see once a year at a graduation party, and when I see him I insist that he tell the story. He never will right away, but after a few beers and a whole lot of begging on my part, he'll eventually open up. Nick was the Chuck E. Cheese Mouse for 2 years. He hated it, and if you ask why he did it for 2 years all he can say is I don't know. I needed money. It was 100+ degrees in that uniform and he put up with Abuse. He will explain that there have actually been studies done that prove people treat mascots like there's really not a person inside. Subconciously we believe that a mascot is something subhuman; we wouldn't even treat an animal so poorly. Anyway one particular time some kid screamed at him for pizza, and he had just been yelled at by his boss for leaving the playroom, so he couldn't go get pizza. Nor was the Mouse allowed to speak, so all he could do was shrug his shoulders. The kid proceeded to kick Nick very hard in the shins and then once again, only harder and this time right in the nuts. Nick was in excruciating pain but the Mouse can't scream or take off his head. What he did - and I crack up every time I get this mental image - was drop to the floor and roll around like Curly from the Stooges, with his hands between his legs. If Nick's really in good storytelling form he'll drop to the ground and give us a visual. Anyway during this time the kid got his little buddies and poured pitchers of soda and various food all over the Mouse. Nick got up, ripped his Mouse head off, and screamed What the F is your problem you little sacks of S! That was Nick's last day.

Kids love this place and you can keep a group of them entertained for next to nothing. The pizza is crap but you don't have to eat there. The out of control kids are annoying as hell but all you have to do is look at their parents and you understand why they are such brats.

To all you folks who think the pizza is frozen, I can assure you it's not. The dough is made fresh daily and the cheese is stored in a refridgerator as it's supposed to be. We make hundreds of pizzas every day, and the kitchen staff is usually no more than three people, usually two. They work hard to get your orders right, done fast and we do EVERYTHING we can to make everything the best we can. The DRA's, the game techs and party hosts work their tails off to help the guests with lost tokens, broken games, games that ran out of tickets, helping a child that can't find his mother, showing kids how to play games, cleaning the entire place and busing and cleaning tables so everything is sanitary. We spend time learning dances for the live shows (you don't think we just know those dances, do you? We spend time coming in before we open -seven in the morning usually- to learn these dances.), doing everything we can to make birthday parties the best they can be, and we are often ridiculed, and take the blunt end of a bad mood. We work hard, are underappreciated, but we are still pleasant and will do whatever we can to make your stay happy. We are paid minimum wage, and do all of this with a smile to make things a good as they can be. We don't cater to adults- our audience is that of children, pretty much from three to twelve. Our games are designed for this audience, as are our prizes and menu. The anamatronics in the show room were designed for entertainment purpouses when there isn't a live show. I wish people appreciated the work we did a little more. I used to be on the other end, complaining about bad service from place xyz, but you really don't know how much work goes into a place like CEC until you work there.

even if the pizza was good, just being in one of those places makes me want to slash my wrists. The games suck, suck, suck

The pizza is marginal at best. Hoever, if you have the kids with you, you cannot lose at Chucks. This chain exists to cater to the kids, and it works.

If anybody goes to Chuck E. Cheese's just for the pizza, than they probably probably think fish sticks and hot dogs is surf and turf. I took my son to a birthday party there and after being badgered by a mom to try a piece, relented. Greasy and chewy. Crust was way too thick.

I work at Chuck E. Cheese and every employee works extremely hard to give the customers great service. We clean up everyone's mess, play and talk with the kids, sing and dance to entertain the kids, and serve everyone. Hard work goes into every part of Chuck E. Cheese. The pizza is made out of fresh dough, for those of you who think it is frozen. We make minimum wage, and in my opinion we deserve more for putting up with some people that we have to deal with. I am a birthday party hostess and all of the hostess's go through a lot of stress each day to try to give your child the best party ever. And a lot of the time, we aren't tipped. I just don't get it....here we are, taking your order, refilling your cups, cutting the pizza and serving each child individually, dancing for them, singing for them, cutting the cake, serving the cake, and attending to all needs by all guests. I don't understand how some people don't have the decency to tip for this huge service.

i give this 3 stars.. the food is not that great.. but it does have a good selection of video games..

I give Chuck E Cheese an OK. The games and rides are great for the kids, the place is clean and the people are friendly (although many times there just aren't enough employees out there leaving the kids waiting and waiting at the prize counter, or leaving you to search for someone if you need help). Overall, CEC is OK. The food is terrible (yes, the kids seem to like it but it is the PARENTS who are paying, so give us some good food, especially for the prices they are charging. Now one thing I do find disturbing. CEC over-stuffs the place, to the point you can barely move around. There is the tunnels that are built into the ceiling (very cool) BUT ~ what is protocol if there is a fire? My god, I can just envision parents all killing each other to get their toddler out of the tunnel while adults and children are running wildly about trying to get out. CEC never mentioned fire exits, etc. This is a concern that will keep me away from CEC especially during weekends when it is absolute chaos there. Had my son's 3rd Bday party there today (Sunday) and it was just plain chaos. Too crowded. One question I had and forgot to ask while I was there. When you enter CEC, they stamp your hands and your child's hands with the same stamp (invisible) and they check you as you leave that you are with your own children who you came in with. Now if someone tries to leave with someone else's child, what happens? Do the doors lock to keep them from leaving or is the 17 year old, 100 lb. girl responsible for stopping this person? Just curious.

I loved this place when I was a kid, but the pizza was largely a hit and miss for me. It always seemed to have a bland taste that just couldn't compete with most pizza places.

As for the restaraunt itself, it isnt meant to be a great place for adults, it is for children, and if you dont like it, too damn bad. Quit being so selfish. Kids have the right to have fun too. I used to love going here when I was a kid in Denver, Colorado.

the pizza good but chuckie just pisses me off. i mean he gives little tiny people named grant free cotton candy and doesn't give me any. id like to stuff that cotton candy right up his "poop deck." pizza still good though.

Men, if you ever want to talk you wife out of having more kids, just take her here.

I work at CEC and is horrible i think.. Cleaning after everyone in the HUGE showroom is a job! I have to stand at kid check all day too... its not fun at all.. its too noisy and the puppets dont help with the stupid little songs!

Alright now, this is for every single solitary one of you that posted a negative comment. YOUR ALL SELFISH BASTARDS! If you really care that little about your kids to absolutely detest a place that brings them happyness you should all be ashamed. OK, sure the little animatronic crap is annoying ya? BUT. Your kids will find it amazing how they got the stuffed animals to move like that. Ya the pizza is crap, but the kids dont care! Ya there is noise, but thats what happens when you have a bunch of kids together! Alright?! This place is not here to make you happy god damnit so stop acting like the world revolves around you, get a grip on life. This place is -not- for you old idiots who cant understand the difference between a childs playground and life. On a playground, the kids rules apply. A kid doesnt want you jumping around climbing on the playground equipment and such, and your not expected to do that. So why in gods name are you expecting and kids restraunt to bring happyness to someone who obviously MURDERED their own inner child with a damned steak knife.

Well, it's not SUPPOSED to be a four-star restaurant, just a place to entertain your kids; as far as entertaining young children, this place'll do it. The food isn't great, but heck, what did you expect?

OK listen. I have worked at Chuck E. Cheese for almost 2 years now. Im 18 now and CEC was one of my favorite memories as a kid. Parents who cant let thier kids run around for a couple hours acting like a kid are SELFISH. Also I cant believe that we serve alcohol. Who is this resteraunt targeted at??? The store is very clean and the "cast members" work thier buts off to serve you cranky parents who dont even leave a tip. We get paid minimum wage to $7 an hour to baby sit your kids and your the ones complaining??? Your kids dream is to play his games, eat some pizza, and get enough tickets to get a prize. If you cant chip in an extra dollar for the kid to get 100 extra tickets, you deserve to hear your kid scream till you get home. Yeah, the food costs to much, but FYI its NOT frozen, it IS made in the kitchen and I think its great! SO if you dont like CEC, DONT GO!!! Have deprived kids and dont make the workers have a crapy day because you couldnt find the kid in you!

chuck really sucks and he lost his luck.

i love the noise The rat is hallarois the food is good, and its fun to go to im a crazy adult i love the tunnels and games

yea right, LOL

Excellent pizzas, great service, and the games and puppet theater will draw lots of kids.

This is a fun place (although expensive) to take a kid. And I actually think the food is pretty good.

From the early days when it was merely Showbiz to current days, Chuck E Cheese has always been amusing, fun and a home to good pizza. Besides, Skiball rocks the house! :)

This is not only a sub standard pizza place with entertainment targeted at the 5 year old level but apparently also a public testing ground where toddlers learn to control their parents. Here's an idea parents - if your brat leaves screaming because the little darling didn't "get what they wanted" - instead of pleading with THEM to tell you what's wrong with YOU - do society a favor and take charge of the situation. You're the grown up now - at least allegedly. You get to drive the car, go to work, and make the rules. Their job is to learn from you. And one of the first valuable lessons they should learn is that YOU DON'T GET EVERYTHING YOU WANT IN LIFE. Maybe Chuck E. Cheese's is as good a place as any to start learning that fact. Dare to be in charge parents...because if you aren't you're really doing everyone - including your kid - a diservice.

The pizza isn't the main attration. The pizza taste like cardboard but my grandkids LOVE the place so we'll continue to go there.

Animatronic dancing bears. This is a "pizza place" that happens to have animatronic dancing bears, and the last time I was there, an arcade version of "hungry hungry hippos." Inevitably at the end of the day, some kid in your group will be crying and freaking out because he or she didn't manage to collect enough skeeball tickets to redeem for the 5 dollar transistor radio, and must instead settle for a rubber dinosaur eraser. Inevitably, it will be your fault because you didn't give him/her enough quarters or else you ate too fast or are leaving too soon to allow this child to amass the necessary tickets. At least one kid leaves screaming, every time. You've got to try to keep them in their seats long enough to eat enough crappy pizza to constitute a "meal," and to top it all off, there's a band of animatronic dancing bears singing robotic versions of "Raffi" songs every 15 minutes. Check, please.

I need to find the bastards who came up w/Chuck E. Cheese's

I went here with my friend Lori, her sisters, cousins and nephew in Texas last summer. Lori's nephew was the only actual kid in the group - the rest of us were adults! It was a fun place to go for a couple hours, but I wouldn't want to be there forever. The place was atrociously noisy and we practically had to yell to hear eachother talk. The pizza was good, but nothing amazing. I did enjoy playing ski-ball and some of the other games, but I think they had the place filled way over capacity- there were kids packed into EVERY square inch possible- they need to bring the place under control a bit and not allow so many people in at once.

It's a nice place to go to if you have kids.
