    We didn't do everything that Main Event has to offer, but based off of what we did do, I'm gonna go ahead and rate this place 3 stars.
    So there are a lot of games which is cool, but some of them just suck and don't even give you tickets. Is it worth going through the hassle of telling the front desk? No not really unless it was lot of tickets you were stiffed on.
    Some of the games cost a lot of money for what you get. I went to the bar and ordered a drink. Yes it was just a beer, but the bartender offered me a "trechas" and salt rim and also extra limes which was nice.
    They have bowling, the climbing area above and laser tag and pool tables....but wish they had some bumper cars. That would've been cool.
    Can't speak for the food, but it looked alright.  I might come back here one day if I ever want to bowl.

    The Cauliflower pizza the works is delicious. My kids can spend hours enjoying the activities while the adults bowl

    out of all their desserts they only had 1 in stock everything else was out.. someone in the kitchen seems to not being doing their job. Service was slow don't know how if it was a Tuesday afternoon and it was practically dead, had to wait a while just to order, wish this wouldn't have happened.

    Food was decently priced, the location easily accessible off the highway. The staff as sole of the other reviewers mentioned aren't the most proactive but I didn't run into anyone that was rude. The special online was a bit challenging to decipher but after some in depth reading we did confirm that each activity is $7 and with bowling the shoes are an additional cost. Overall I would come back without hesitation.

    We came to celebrate a birthday for a coworker. Our entire group was over 21 years of age and none of us had children.

    We each placed different orders. I had the wings on a recommendation of our waitress. I asked her between the burger and the wings, what she would recommend and vouched for the wings. My co-worker in front of me went against the recommendations and she ordered the burger. I should have followed in her footsteps. The wings weren't terrible, by any means, but they were rather tasteless. The serving of fries was a smaller portion than I expected and they tasted ok. I know now, when I go back, that I won't be having the wings ever again. On the other hand, my co-worker said the burger was satisfactory to her taste, so that's what I will try next.

    Regarding the service, the location can be very loud. I expect for this business to be loud, as it is an entertainment place for all ages with arcades and bowling. However, it makes ordering a nuisance since the waiter often can't hear what your saying and asks to repeat your order a lot. If you're ok with that, then have something to eat while your young ones go and have fun.
