​The era of me reviewing children's places has officially begun, and I never in a million years thought Chuck E. Cheese would be getting a raving review from me! ​Growing up on childhood urban legends about their pizza, I was fully convinced this wasn't a place for good food or enjoyable hangs. So when a mom friend suggested a playdate here, I was pretty skeptical--but it completely blew my expectations out of the water. ​Here's why it worked so well: ​The Weekday Morning Hack: We arrived right at 11:00 AM on a weekday, and the place was practically empty. It was super clean, and only about two games were out of order. Our toddlers had a blast running wild in a wide-open space. ​Actually Great Food & Deals: Always check their website before going! They have amazing promos for game points and food discounts. We grabbed a play card deal where points never expire (huge plus for unpredictable toddler attention spans) and took advantage of their 50% off food deal that runs Monday through Wednesday. And the pizza? Honestly DELICIOUS. The food rumors are officially debunked! ​Low-Stress Hangout: Thanks to their entry/exit safety system, I was actually able to sit down for most of the hangout, eat my slice of pizza, and have a genuine conversation with my friend without playing constant zone defense. ​The Highlight: The photo booth! It was easily our favorite part and gave us unlimited documentation of a super fun morning. ​Safe to say this is a stay-at-home parent's dream hangout spot. We will 100% be back! read more

Chuck E. Cheese - Pizza Near Me - Garden Grove, California

All kids love Chuck E Cheese. Games, prizes, and cotton candy! What is there not to like? The summer pass is a really good deal. You get to play everyday and make tickets for prizes. It is a great way to beat the heat during the summer. This location has the old school Chuck E and the whole band on stage. They come on periodically for performances. It is a bit creepy, but super cool. Blast to the past! HAPPY CHEESEING!! read more

The girls were there since 3pm yesterday tell 7pm & thought Chuck E. would come out before the kids begged for him to come out normally when we go he walks around, but this must've been a new Chuck E. because he just came out for like a good minute and then went back inside. The girls were like we were here all these hours just for that and a quick picture. read more

The biggest Chuck E Cheese so far, great service and our kid loves this place so much. Thank you to the team for keeping the place nice and clean. It has so many games to choose and spacious for kids to run around. Parents need to watch their kids from destroying the games then start to complain about games that don't work. I see the team has to constantly fix the issue then later seeing kids damaging the games. read more

Got the family deal with "trampoline", just to find out, they took it off. So don't waste your time here.

My wife and I stopped by this Chuck E Cheese location with our daughter. We wanted to see what they had here and how it was inside. The staff are very nice and give you a stamp if you come in with a child so they can keep track. I got two stamp on my hand since I was carrying my daughter. They have a decent amount of different games here and also food too. I can't speak on the food because I didn't order anything but some of the games are entertaining. This location is a decent size and seem very clean when we were here. We also found parking alright since we came before the afternoon. read more

What a damn dump! I take 4-6 homeless kids to eat and have a great time and before I leave I order a pepperoni, mushroom, jalapeños pizza to go and they forget to add pepperoni! Are you shitting me, what kind of a damn poor excuse for a pizza place forgets pepperoni on their damn pizza?!? These poor kids can't catch a break! Be better Chucky be better :/ 8==============}~~~~ all up in your guys buttholes! read more

Came to this Chuckie Cheese for the first time. Was pretty impressed despite the negative reviews. There were many games for my kiddos to play. Met up my friend and her daughter for a chuckie cheese play date. She recently purchased a package for her daughter where she gets emailed coupons for several items like bringing a friend, getting bonus play points, and food discount. She had a 50% off food coupon so we ordered two pepperoni pizza with four drinks. We were helped at the register by the manager. This location was pretty clean no foul smell. The women's bathroom though needs to be maintained there was no soap when we went to wash our hands. The kids had a fun time they are of the perfect age for chuckie cheese. Pizza was pretty ok decent. We spent about three hours here and we saw Chuckie come out and dance four to five times. read more

Went here this past weekend for a friend's daughter's birthday party. I was surprised by how spacious this location is compared to others. For a sunday morning it was also surprisingly, not busy. I'm not sure if this was because it was before the Thanksgiving holiday, but even when we left around 1:30pm the place was not very crowded. We liked the layout of the place, with the party tables visible from entry and we could see the entire place from our tables - I wish the other locations used this "box like" layout that made the open space feel, bigger. Food was decent and staff was nice, no complaints here. read more

I've been coming to this location for a couple of years now. It has got better. It smells very Clean coming into the location. They expanded the adventure playground which my son is excited about. They upgraded the restroom. This location has come along way. They always have an employee at check in which I appreciate. No more waiting forever to come in and out. I haven't seen him in a while but Remy the Manager there is the Best! read more

Chuck E. Cheese is a good place to take kids to, especially when it gets cold and dark in the winter. They also have good deals on monthly passes if you're able to go more often. I did notice that some games at this location are broken, and haven't been fixed or some time, hence the lower rating. They do seem short staffed, but workers work hard here. Every so often, I'd see someone wiping down the machines and making sure things stay clean. Food-wise: * Pizza 4/5 - Pizza is nice and crispy here and tasted as expected. Get the bigger size as the personal size is very small and not good value. * Cheesy bread 3/5 - Okay, a bit bland. * Buffalo Chicken wings 3.5/5 - Tasted like Tyson's frozen buffalo wings. Not bad, but nothing special. * Fries 1/5 - These were not crispy. They also tasted very starchy and undercooked. read more

We usually go to the Foothill Rancho or Laguna Hills locations. Sometimes the Orange or Cerritos but this is our first time at the Garden Grove location. It's huge!!! That's what she said. Their adventure zone has the trampoline, ninja course like other but they have the addition of a jungle gym looking thing reminds me of my childhood with slide and things to climb just no ball pit. Food is typical Chuck E. Cheese, if you like their pizza then you'll like it. Location would get a 7/10 for cleanliness. Plenty of games, again location is one of the biggest I've been to since having kids of my own. Staff isn't the friendliest and that's what avoid the 5 star but they do earn the 4 stars during this visit. read more

Great place for kids! But the games were not giving as much tickets as it deserved. The max tickets you get per game is 3 which is nothing compared to the prizes. The games were fun but some seemed broken. There was a paid playhouse for the kids which only they can go in. Parents stay outside and watch. The zombie game was the best! read more

This is only regarding the stench that there is in here. It smells so bad. They "cleaned" the carpet and it smelled like wet non-dried fully smell carpet odor. Omg. Thinking about make me ill. I sled the register guy and sure enough it was that. I think it's time to pull that carpet out. I was so nauseous. I hope you guys did something. Pizza is always great. Register guy/girl are always nice. And no issues with games. read more

The amount of games that dont work is insane. We got a sausage pizza. And each slice only had 1 sausage. The food quality has gone down here. read more

This is BY far the worst Chuck E. Cheese's I have EVVVEEERRRRRR been to, the games suck, 75% DON'T work some will work but don't have the balls to play lol so really no point . This one has the least amount of games I've ever seen and at that most don't even work we bought two 60 min and we're out of things to play within the first 15 min . I don't understand how they're still open I would go to any other location but this one if I were you . If you're looking at this and debating because of the already low star ratings listen cause I wish I had checked before coming but this was the closest to me, And honestly I would've rather took the trip to elsewhere. We left before the hour was up because wasn't really much to do even the kids were bored . read more

Came here for the first time in years. I brought my 3 kids and 1 of their friends. They were so excited. My mom was with me. We paid for 60 minute time cards. Ask if we needed a card and we were not informed about the $1 charge for each card and $2 with the waistband. I know it's not much, but it would be best to let people know about these things and not just charging without warning. My mom ordered fries for the kids. It was $5 and it was barely anything plus, they were burnt. Very disappointed. I was curious about the new trampoline area but we were not told about how it works at all. Luckily, my kids didn't seem too interested so it was fine but the workers don't seem to really care about customers at all. The games could use some maintenance and upkeep. It was clean when we were there, but it was hard explaining to little kids why so many games they wanted to play together weren't working. I think it's pricey for there to be so many downstairs. read more

We recently had our child's birthday party here and purchased the birthday package that includes the Bronze Pass. Unfortunately, the Bronze Pass did not work when we came back to use it, which was one of the main reasons we chose this package in the first place. When we asked for help, the general manager was extremely dismissive and said it "wasn't his issue" and that he would have to email corporate. No attempt was made to fix the problem on the spot or offer any solution, even though we had driven all the way there specifically to use the pass that came with the birthday package. It was very frustrating to spend the money on a birthday package with promised benefits, only to be told it's not their problem when those benefits don't work. Poor customer service and disappointing experience overall. read more

My family and I ordered the combo with two pizzas, 6 drinks and what was supposed to be the cookie pizza. Unfortunately they did not tell us they were out of the cookie pizza they instead gave us fries. We asked if instead we could get a discount on another item but they said no. The manager was very rude and when the fries came out there was hardly any. This didn't seem like a good alternative for the cookie because the fries were poorly made and were so little. The tables could be cleaned better because there were hardly any clean seats available and the ones that were had sticky juice and soda residue. read more

Chuck E. Cheese - Terrible French Fries - Pizza Near Me - Garden Grove, California

Wow what a worst ever service. Mostly people with kids budget about an hour or so of play but at this location, it will be a nightmare. We have been in line for last 25+ minutes and it only moved a little. There's at least 5+ people still in line, they have only one girl(kid) working and manager is nowhere to be found. Horrible service. Regret getting the Fun Pass. read more

Place is okay if you have a toddler and need a place for them to roam ..it doesn't have as many things as other locations but it's clean. I ordered fries and they were most likely oven baked or airfried, definitely not fried. Most of the ends were burnt and inedible, portion was tiny too. Took almost 30 minutes even though there was nobody there. Definitely not worth the money or time. read more

Chuck E. Cheese - Terrible fries that definitely weren't fried but still burnt. Super dry too. - Pizza Near Me - Garden Grove, California

DO NOT ORDER THE PERSONAL PIZZA!!!! Do not order the personal pizza unless you are ordering for 1 kid the pizza is smaller then my hand and I had to go up to get my pizza the buzzer never rang and the pizza was ice cold when I got it the management is awful and rude except for the guy making the pizza he was very apologetic and the man at the service counter was rude and rushing me to order the personal pizza was $13 which is insane I can get better portions for $13 at the 7/11 across the street. read more

Chuck E. Cheese - Pizza Near Me - Garden Grove, California

We've been to this location today and also the one in Costa Mesa. I have to say this location is bigger and has more games. Pizza was better at CM though. The pizza here is rather dry and brittle crust and not as cheesy. They need to do better in that area. Very busy on a Sunday night. Only worth it if you get the annual $11.99 per month pass. Otherwise it's expensive to play here. read more

Yeah, I know Chuck E. Cheese. They've been around for a while however I must say this location is definitely an exception me personally I do it for my kids, but with that said I wasn't looking too forward to going there right lol but I gotta tell you this place should be a place that train employees. The service here is impeccable. There's employees everywhere constantly cleaning constantly asking if you need something And the pizza I gotta tell you got much better or this is the place that has it better? I don't know. I highly recommend this location the I mean you can't go wrong. I got the salad bar and pizza. I will definitely be back. I mean, I can't say enough wait I already did and by the way the place is extremely clean especially foirhaving about 100 kids here. read more

Back after another year. Great service. Remodeled once again so supper clean. As always the Manager and the other hosts were amazing and the Pizza and Salad Bar were all so delicious. You can never go wrong with Chuck E Cheese Pizza as a food option. read more

Our family booked a birthday package for our son's 6th birthday party. The staffs were very nice and considerate. The manager, Karina, went out of her way to helped us with our birthday party. She was very attententive with our needs even though they were low on staffing. She made our birthday celebration a successful event. We left happy and thank her and her staff. Recommend this place for birthdays. read more

Horrible experience!!! I placed 2 separate orders and the first order I had gotten charged 2 times. I went to go ask and they had told me that the couldn't refund it and had to wait 2 days for the bank to dispute it for me. My second ordered I ordered it at 9:07 and it was 9:50 and I went to go ask why it had taken long they told me that they supposedly didn't get the paper in the kitchen and didn't receive the order. They told me if I wanted the order or my money back but I had been waiting u asked for the pizzas. Worst experience I've had. read more

We went here for Granddauther 3rd birthday with a few family members and was not a lot of people and service was great food was good and hot.

We will be back Birthday Girl Aalelyeh was so Happy The Westbrook read more

I loved Chuck E. Cheese as a kid, but know u don't like ever see the animatronics! Also they got rid of the tickets Which was half of the fun part with the coins. now you use this card which now kids can't show off how much tickets they have.. That was the fun part. read more

Did you know Chuck E. Cheese opens doors 2 hours early for those with a disability who wants to enjoy this place. However, it's only on the first Sunday of every month. I first saw this at an office where I take my child, who has Autism, along with her older sister and decided to check it. So, first thing I did, was to call and confirm and find out if there was any prerequisite before coming. To answer that for you, there is not. You just come on in and the place will allow you in. We arrive early/on time and slight waited a couple minutes before someone noticed we were at the front door. Of course my little one does do well waiting but it wasn't long until someone came. I was looking forward to some sort of "wow" when arriving, but there wasn't one. They simply let us in and that it. They (I think he was the manager) just said, "enjoy." And went off to do his job and prep for the rest of his shift. In one way I understand but in another, I was hoping to get a card or some info on anything they will offer for this time frame, like free play. Since I didn't want to bother him and non of the other 2 employee seemed to acknowledge we were there, I decided to just get a card for an hour. I want to mention the flyer say reduce light and noise (which they did do), food and games offered (none were offered), lastly, trained and caring staff (I'm sure they are, but since we didn't have any interaction, this didn't apply to us). We have been here during regular hours and if I compare today's morning time to a regular hour setting, I'd say my daughter who has Autism might prefer all the light and noise better. Don't get me wrong, she still enjoyed it. I look forward to coming next month. (I'll update then) read more

Stellar service! My bad, forgot to use the food coupon during transaction but Remy graciously honored my request for price adjustment. I appreciate that! Place was very clean and cool. Pizza is pricey but served hot and crispy...happily it satisfied the grandkids. Kids had a blast! read more

Since the remodel and all the new games, I must say I enjoy this place more now. I like how you pick up your food instead of waiting, so you know when its ready! I enjoy the new activities they have for the kids and even the prizes have gotten a lot better. I bring my kids at least once every two weeks, as it can be super fun for them. The only think I think that could use an update is the game card reload. You have to make sure you keep them so you can refill it or you will pay 2 bucks again for another one. Other than that, I enjoy this place and will always bring my kids! read more

Loved playing here. Staff was great! Gilbert was quick at fixing our issues. Got to play all the gameso

A member of the staff is charging for optional items without consulting or advising customers. Also, staff members under the age of 21 are being allowed to serve alcohol. I will say it is a bit cleaner location than others but still could use some better attention to tables as many were left with trash and food from previous patrons. read more

At Chuck E. Cheese, the experience of gaming turned sour with machines frequently malfunctioning, and staff members seemingly indifferent to customers' frustrations. The arcade games often displayed glitches, ruining the fun for eager players. Additionally, the lack of maintenance was evident, with broken controllers and sticky buttons making gameplay frustrating. Customer service was virtually non-existent, with long wait times for assistance and a general lack of concern for patrons' concerns. Overall, the promise of an enjoyable gaming experience at Chuck E. Cheese was overshadowed by poor maintenance and indifferent service, leaving customers feeling disappointed and dissatisfied. Especially the girl with red hair.. Horrible attitude!! read more

The place is great to take your kids even the parents can have a bit of fun and relax while your kids play they can run around and it's safe they stamp everyone with a barcode and check every kid before the exit with an adult for safety purposes. The pizza is good and fresh dosent take long to get however skip on the wings $18 for 8 pieces ?? No thank you and the boneless wings are same price and way way smaller then bone in wings! That's the only downside everything else is great $31 for 60 mins of play time was enough! I'll be back it was a fun time read more

Do better Chuck E. Cheese. Your employees, including your managers are not properly trained at all to handle children or situations that pertain to children on the spectrum. You claim to be Autism friendly but you are not. My 5 year old grandson was asked to leave because he uses a device to help him speak and doesn't like to put it down. It's a comfort item for him. He was asked to leave his device outside of the play area, which I completely understand. But that caused my grandson to have a meltdown so the employee allowed him into the play area WITH his device. He immediately went to jump and climb and slide. He was the happiest we seen him. He struggles with social cues, like all kids on the spectrum so when it came time to slide down the slide he wanted to climb it the wrong way. And since he's non verbal and has intellectual disability he doesn't understand that you can't climb the slide from the bottom up. This behavior caused the employee to ask him to leave. No understanding or compassion at all. They claimed he was being aggressive, because he started to have a meltdown. It was horrible. And no other employee offered any help. I'm disappointed and will never return to that location again. Mr. Chuck, you need to train your employees. This was so heart breaking. Look at the videos attached.....that's not an aggressive kid. That was a happy kid. read more

Disgusting & horrible customer services , I hope this review is recognized by the manager who didn't even apologize and supposedly remade my fries but then were is my corn nuggets ? from being burnt the first time to no flavor refrigerated fries ..
