That review of Chuck E Cheese's made it sound almost like a place you would want to take your kids, when in actuality, the food is so overpriced it elicits a "Are you serious?" when you read the prices pizzas that cost about three times what they would anywhere else.

My experience at the salad bar would rate about a D-. The kids enjoy the games, when they are working, but a lot of time was spent waiting on an attendant to come and "fix" something.

Also, the kids get really excited about all those coupons they win until they go and try to cash them in. You might have 300 coupons, but the prize will be worth about a nickel! And what did you spend on game tokens to win those 300 coupons? The small object my granddaughter picked out (after 10 minutes of deliberation) was not even available and they would not let her have the display item.

All in all, overpriced, over-hyped and ultimately a very disappointing experience.

Don't waste your time and money!
