I reserved a table for 13 kids and 9 adults four weeks in advance.
When we arrived for the event the table was still dirty from the last booking and we weren't assigned a hostess. A few minutes into our game time (two hours) a girl came up and handed me the cards for everyone to play. No explanation of how the party worked or the order of things. One of the cards didn't work and wasn't corrected until half way into the play time.
When the food came out they called us to the table and only brought out one very small pizza. We waited an additional 20 minutes before they brought out two additional pizzas, but we had to remind them we had purchased an additional pizza. According to the package we purchased, each child was to get two slices, but there was hardly enough for the kids to even get a single slice. We also had to self serve the drinks. Once the pizza was eaten, the cake wasn't ready so everyone went to play. I made a few inquiries about the cakes. I had purchased two vanilla Barbie cakes. But when I finally tracked someone down they didn't have vanilla cakes at first, then they didn't have two Barbie stickers, then they didn't have a second sticker for the cake at all. We had to track them down for every basic need. Plates, silverware, cake servers. Everything was slow and with an attitude.
When they finally brought a cake out, they didn't bring the second cake. Then they lit the cake without the guests present. Chuck E. Cheese didn't even come over for pictures!
We didn't get balloons, gift bags, or tote bag. We only got the ticket blaster because we tracked down someone and said it was included in the package.
ALL OF THIS CRAP WE WOULD HAVE OVERLOOKED *IF* we weren't forced to leave the table and harassed. We had the table reserved from 5:30 to 7:30 and while we kept trying to keep the party on schedule we weren't getting any real service.
So as soon as we got the cake they started pushing for us to leave. We hadn't even gotten to open gifts. We questioned this as they were the ones running behind and one of the employees called in her boyfriend. He walked in and harassed us the entire time we got our things together. He followed us to the prize area, and specifically harassed my boyfriend and made obscene gestures at him. We never once got anyone in trouble or asked for the manager. But we were made to feel unwelcome and unsafe in a kids friendly environment. We felt very threatened and were uncomfortable walking out as the boyfriend was watching at that point from the parking lot.
We won't be back. This was a huge disappointment and incredibly frustrating for the price that was paid for poor service and harassment. read more
