This place isn't as big as the Chuck E Cheese place in San Jose but the kids still enjoy the rides and games. It's good for having a kids birthday party here since you can purchase tokens and keep them busy with games. read more

The guy at the front desk. Ricardo was very helpful and made my daughter birthday the best day ever!

This place is ok during the weekday but on a Sunday afternoon it's chaotic. The wait to get a pizza is an hour. They seem to be under staffed because the machines do not work. 50 % of the games are not in service. The salad bar has nothing. Lol. And there's a wait in line to get in. read more

Chuck E. Cheese - Pizza Near Me - Newark, California

I have to echo what Aubrey's review from a few weeks ago. We hosted a birthday party here for our son last weekend and Joey the manager and his staff really went out their way to make sure that we had a good time and are completely satisfied. The online reservation was seamless and Joey personally confirmed our booking a few days beforehand. Things all went smoothly the day of. Food was delish and we ordered pizza, wings and veggie tray so the adults can have something to munch on :) All the kids of course had a blast with the games and tickets and enjoyed the Dipping Dots too. Joey also checked in with us throughout the party which we appreciated. Thank you Joey and your team for an awesome party and we will be back! BTW - we've been coming to this location for a few years and it recently went through new renovation (and change in management?) and the new décor and games look nice. I think they also will have a grand reopening on 12/19 in the afternoon. Come check them out :)) read more

I wish they had a no star ratings!! Worst Chuck E Cheese ever!!! I should have seen the warning signs since I got there. But since it was my daughter bday I decided to just let it go. Keep in mind it wasn't just the salad bar but the soda fountain area had ants. I was waiting for croutons she told me to wait so I did for about 2-3min then I decided to go sit down. Sent my husband with another plate and they told him no that he needed to get the salad plate. Went up with the plate and That's when Audrinna says that I should have waiting and so I said maybe you should have this shit filled up and clean. She told me I had to leave and I said I will as long as get my refund. Which she refused so I'm out $66. Save yourself a trip and take your kids else where. Wish I took more pictures but they saw me taking this one a the salad bar and got the look. read more

Chuck E. Cheese - Salad on the left was brown and old. I wish I could have taken pictures of the ants and empty condiments. - Pizza Near Me - Newark, California

Hosted our birthday party today. The associate assigned to us was so helpful and my daughter really enjoyed the special song and ticket blaster. Would highly recommend an eraly morning birthday party. Thank you for the excellent service. read more

Very durty and filty place, as read in another review, sticky but obvious your kids would love it, as a parent I think this place is very stinky, disgusting, smells pretty bad, and the bathdroom is same thing, the structure that is free to go is pretty disgusting, I took a picture but I wasn't able to post it read more

This place is pretty small, but the staffs are very friendly. It wasn't too crowded when I went inside. The facilities weren't so new though. It's okay to take your kids for a casual fun time, but I won't recommend it if you're throwing a birthday party or something you really want it special. read more

If I could give no stars, I would. Half the machines weren't giving tickets and my little brothers couldn't properly enjoy it. Meanwhile the employees were sitting around talking and on their phones. Not to mention we waited almost 45 min for our pizza (on a slow Monday) and the tables were dirty and nobody was cleaning. read more

I went to Newark location (10mins further) than Hayward and it was much better. A party had just finished and there was some trash on floor. I told a staff member, in a couple mins the manager was out there cleaning up. The bathrooms were clean and didn't stink and I didn't stick to everything I touched. It was a bonus that our favorite game wasn't broke here, but a bonus none the less. Go to Newark location and skip Hayward. Good job to the manager. You actually seem to care. The staff at Hayward doesn't even pretend to care. read more

(This happened 9mos ago, forgot about it so I finished it) Not happy with Jenny who was working the register, she didn't give me my salad plate & after getting the kids settled, 10 min or less, I went back to get my salad plate and pizza plates. Well Jenny said she gave it to me. I said No, you gave me 4 cups, two wrist bracelets & 2 cards. As she reached down to get the salad plate, she turns to the person at gift counter to, get a 2nd opinion, I guess. I told her she can go check my table, there's no salad plate. Then she puts the plate on the counter then walks over to the redemption person to talk about it, leaving me standing there. She walks back then starts telling a co-worker, In Spanish!! to go check my table. Happened to cross paths with mgr in restroom & told her what happened. Of course all she could do was apologize & said she'd talk to her. read more

I take my 2 grand boys to different chunky E there's by far the Newark one is the worst. Went there yesterday memorial day there was no air on it was super hot.Ordered 4 buffets At 12:30 they put 1 pizza out at 1:30 and Nothing else. My boys were hungry other People told me they had been there 2 hours Without eating. I blame management not the Employees they were all working hard. Will never go back, we spent $100.00 Without ever getting food. They gave me Back my buffet money that is not the Point I am trying to make. read more

I visited the Newark location to attend a birthday party. It's been over 30 years since I have been to a Chucky Cheese venue when my children were small. The place was full of children and families, high noise level. The Chucky Cheese characters on stage were very mechanical and not entertaining. The pizzas and chicken wings were decent, but forget about the salad bar. My major complaint is that there is very little lighting in the parking lot making it very unsafe for children going in and out of the premises at night. read more

I never thought Chuck e cheese's party is so stressful. We arrived 15 mins early, like what they asked me to. Staff were acting like what the heck were doing there so early. They could have at least gave us 2 servers because I booked for 30 kids and 30 adults and our server should have given us the cards so the kids can start playing and not waiting for everythibg to get set up. We were asking for every single item, spoons, forks, plates, soda, etc. Pizza came one at a time, so it looks awkward that some are eating and some are not. I can keep going. It was a total disaster. Good thing our guests were amazing and were just laughing at the situation we were in. No more chuck e cheese party for my kids. It was the first and will be the last. read more

If I could give this place zero stars I would. First off, never I repeat never order food from this place. We ordered stale sausage pizza, slimy undercooked chicken wings, and bland frozen tater tots. My family and I were experiencing food poisoning symptoms not even 30 minutes after we were done eating. Secondly, their staff has no respect for their customers. I asked an employee to give me a toy ball to purchase for my daughter as she was throwing a fuss. He, with no hesitation said, "oh you want to buy this", with his eyes raised thinking that we had no money. He then gracefully took the ball and threw it up in the air multiple times and continually rubbed it on his greasy hair. Of course I asked for a new ball. I will never come back to this location and you should never consider going to it. read more

I came here today just for an after school program noticed most of the games my daughter wanted to play weren't working so went to tell employees (Cristian) said we're gonna fix it but never fixed any of the games games are limited and some employees have bad customer service! read more

I am definitely not a fan of over prized arcade places with bad food but the kids love it so it is okay for a few hours. I had my son's birthday party here a few years back and I would definitely not do it again. I understand that the host has a schedule to follow but if there are no other parties booked, they should not rush you through it. Luckily my son is over this place but we still go back every now and then when family and/or friends have parties here. I would certainly eat before and explain to my son that I rather buy him a box of legos for 30 bucks rather than spend it on tickets that get you a tootsie roll. read more

I've had the best experience here with such great staff. They are all hardworking and very attentive to their customers. Christian and Savion have personally helped me and I wanted to write about their excellent customer service. I would definitely recommend this location. The food is fresh and fast And the salad bar is alway refilled nice & clean. The workers are always positive attitude and interact with the kids when chucky comes out. I recommend off peak hours but if you come during weekends just be patient they are doing the best they can! We have been going to this location for a while and when we visit others I rather go here. read more

I would like to leave this review to Shout Out the Most Amazing Party Host RILEY!!!! My daughter had her 5th birthday there this past Sunday and what can I say..Riley was the most patient, very attentative, most professional and helpful during our party stay. If your going to book a party here ask for Riley!!!! I recommend this place only because of the hospitality we got from Riley!!! Thank you!!! read more

Let me preface this review by saying my 4 star rating is based solely on the food; had I actually been permitted by Chuck E Cheese staff to enter the ball pit, that would've probably knocked my rating down a star or two based on sanitary concerns alone. So there are really two reasons that I'd recommend CEC's for your next dining experience, the salad bar and the italian cheese bread. The salad bar at Chuck E Cheese has got to be one of the better ones I've had, and this includes places like Fresh Choice, Sweet Tomatoes, Soup Plantation, and anything a Vegas buffet can throw out there. Why you ask? Well, mainly because nobody ever eats the salad bar, most kids go right at the pizza, and the adults, well they are just drowning their sorrows/boredom with pitcher upon pitcher of overpriced Bud Light. This ensures the ingredients on the salad bar are pristine, and despite nobody ever eating it, a staff member is constantly turning over the items every ten minutes or so with fresh lettuce, carrots, tomatoes, BEETS (yes, I love beets, what of it?), etc. If nothing else, the salad bar here is great for those noncommittal people who get all flustered at Fresh Choice when presented with 15 different types of croutons to dress their salad with. Don't get me wrong, CEC's isn't rinky-dink by any means, you've got your core toppers like croutons, azn crispy noodles, sesame sticks, and duck shaped quackers (yea I went there, welcome to pun city, population this guy). As great as the salad bar is at Chuck's, the italian breadsticks are definitely the pièce de résistance (yes they are so good I used french to describe a reasonable facsimile of an italian dish). They come out piping hot, golden brown and oh so crispy, with little to no grease to speak of. One large order can easily fill up two people, and comes with ranch and marinara dipping sauces. The best part of the sticks are somewhere during the cooking process they get coated with grated parmesan cheese, so with each bite you get these little cheesy flavor explosions. I like them so much I once tried ordering them to go; this was during the period where I was ashamed to eat inside the restaurant. Thankfully, I quickly got over that, plus by the time you get home the sticks are woefully soggy and need to be revived by the oven, which is a little bit too much work when you can just go to town on those bad boys when they're freshly made. I mean, who really cares that I'm nearing the twilight years of my 20s and still derive pleasure from entering an establishment with a Kid Check hand stamp program? As an aside, don't joke about there being a cover charge or which DJ is spinning that night with the teenager at the door in charge of the handstamp , because then he just gets all uppity. Chuck's gets some bonus points for giving out a few free tokens with your meal purchase, or as I like to call it in an effort to make it sound less juvenile, ' Charles comping a few table games.' This is actually a blessing in disguise, because most times you can just elbow the little kids out of the way to claim the skeeball machine that's paying out, and Lord knows you'll need a few rounds of DDR to work off those breadsticks you just inhaled. read more

I went to a kids birthday party at 8 pm on 2/4/2013. Apparently this is the place for ghetto families to throw a birthday party. A party got out of hand when two families starting fighting, and shoving, and swearing out loud for I don't know what. This place needs armed security, I am not even kidding. The sad thing is the people who were fighting were women who had like a 1 month old baby in their arms when they were throwing punches. Seeing a newborn baby in a middle of an adult altercation being thrown around like a ragdoll is an image I cant get out of my head. I dont know why the manager didnt call the authorities, these people dont need to be at this chuck e cheese to ruin everyone else's fun.This place got robbed a few years ago, strong armed robbery. Who the hell robs a busy chuck e cheese? Its like how much money would they have, everyone pays their parties by credit card. I dread going to this place after seeing what happened. The young manager had to break up the brawl before it got out of hand, he did a good job but the damage was done. Don't come here at night is my take on this. Thank god my kids party i threw here turned out smooth during the day. I think I will stick to Super Franks, Jumpy places or a simple bbq picnic from now on. The one beer limit per hours is a joke. People just go across the street ant the Hilton if they want a cocktail, or drink in the parking lot. Be careful people and bewar of your surroundings. No place is immuned to violence nowadays! read more

Thank you Alora and Massoud for helping make our son's 3rd Birthday a hit. Very kind and professional staff. I also like the new remodeling and the dance floor. read more

What can you really say about this place? It's a necessary evil for children. They feed these machines with tokens like addicts at the slots. $20 = 70 tokens This amount lasted us maybe an hour? Depending on how skilled or lucky you are, you can get hundreds of tickets. Yes, hundreds, but definitely not thousands. Unfortunately thousands is what you want because that's the only amount that can get you worthwhile prizes. Otherwise, you're stuck with random rubber toys and Tootsie Rolls/Airheads. Luckily, I felt like all the machines were kept pretty clean. It wasn't like the Exploratorium where every exhibit was covered in grease and germs. The dancing animals on stage are still scary as hell. Even my grown husband got goosebumps. read more

The Chuck E Cheese's around my neighborhood is one of the largest, but not the cleanest. I drove my little cousins from San Jose, all the way to Newark to celebrate one of their birthdays. I felt comfortable letting the kiddies run loose here because the place was small enough for me to keep an eye on all of them. The arcade games and rides weren't immaculate, but cleaner than what I have seen at other places. The staff was very friendly and the food is nothing to rave about, but as long as the kiddies had a blast--that's all that really matters! read more

This place is Ghetto. Be careful never to leave your valuables or always have it with you at all times. Our experience here was really horrible and had traumatized my daughter when her shoulder bag with itouch and cellphone was stolen yesterday (09/21/13). Management did try to make you think they care but in fact they don't. All they said that they are not liable on any lost or stolen item. They will even discourage you on filing a police report. Overall just this place is really dangerous for your kids not a family oriented place. BEWARE!!!!!!! read more

I call this place literally 15 times and I am not even exaggerating and no one picked up my phone calls! What the freak?!? The hours said they closes at 10pm and now it is only 5:30pm. I understand that this place is run by high school students but still customer service! With their poor attiutudes while serving their customers.. omg this place needs new staff immediately! You lost me as your customer. read more

This is the dirtiest Chuck E Cheese that I've ever gone to. It's a Saturday night, but geez. Does anyone work here? The restrooms are disgusting, there is leftover food on EVERY table, and crap all over the floor. There were games that took your coins & some that wouldn't give you tickets. But there are no employees walking the gaming areas. A large number of the kids here are undisciplined and are climbing on machines and throwing things. My 2 year old was in the little kids' area riding a car and a kid climbed on the hood of it while it was moving and stood up. My 6 year old & I were playing air hockey and a kid purposefully shoots his toy in the middle of the table while we were playing. WHAT. IN. THE. HELL?! Who are these kids and where are their parents?! There is a kid running and dribbling a basketball through the gaming area and them shooting the ball 20-30 feet away from the game the basketball goes to. I'm just glad I'm visiting the area & this isn't my local Chuck E Cheese. My daughter left her bag there. My husband works nearby & retrieved it. He was in there all of 5 minutes and called telling me how terrible of an establishment it was. read more

See all

Definitely needs a upgrade the games are old and boring the pizza was very greasy I don't see them being open for very long if I were you I wouldn't waste my time and money here go to David busters in The great mall read more

Be aware of the sharp edges of the arcades. My son tripped and hit one of the corners. He ended up in the ER and had to get 3 stiches. A place designed for a child should be child proof. Once he got hurt, management informed me that they couldn't call an ambulance and they didn't have a phone to make such a call. It is very sad that these centers pride themselves for all the good that they offer the kids, but won't take necessary percautions to ensure the kids saftey. read more

Came here on a wednesday around 2pm, 1. There were no clean tables 2. The food took forever which I don't get because it was slow 3. The workers knew the place was a mess but they were sitting and chatting it up among themselves. It's really disappointing and not happy withe the service and mess. read more

Its best to take your child here during the week and during the day. Weekend and afternoons are chaotic. Service will come to a halt and you will leave with a headache. My little brother has down syndrome and this is his favorite place in the world. The staff is nice and the food is overpriced but tasty. The playground is safe and looks clean, the games and rides are fun and are almost always working. The biggest problems here seem to be when they throw organized parties. Come during dead hours and your child will have a much better time. Also bring some sanitation supplies because this place is crawling with germs and sneezing children. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would but I had to chose one to make a review! I am very disgusted by this location and when I say that I don't speak for cleanliness what so ever! Although I am not a big fan of Chuck E. Cheese we are still very loyal customers! However our go to is the Hayward location. But from time to time my child's stepfather takes her to the one in Newark as I work at Newpark mall. So quick trip before pick up of me.. anyways. He calls me saying that he got stopped at the door before exiting. As he says the guy at the front told him to show him the wrist of him and the child. Which I agree no problem. Whatever. MIND YOU this is about 1030/11 on a Wednesday. Meaning it's just opening and there's literally little to no other customers other then them at that time! Fast forward.... Not only was he the one who STAMPED THEM TOGETHER, he was again the one who stopped them on the way out. Then ESTABLISHING the fact that the numbers on both wrist were in fact the same. STILL CONTINUES TO OPEN HIS MOUTH "She doesn't look like you mmm" Ok what the F**K is that any of your business.. So what if it was her big brother, uncle, cousin or someone whom I trusted as her mother to take her to Chuck E. Cheese. Who ARE YOU to even say anything! No shit they don't look alike, she has none of his genes as being his step-child. But does that give you the right to say anything about it?!?! Does it mean you can stop someone just based on ur gut about not being her father? Even AFTER acknowledging the fact they had the same number for check in! I tried to reach out the same day and got no answer from the moment they left until 5pm that afternoon. I left a message asking for a manager. As being a manager myself I am dissapointed with no outcome, no apology, not even a call back... read more

This place is crazy! It's almost always packed here. I can go here at any time of day and be fighting a crowd but I guess it's not so bad. My son likes the mobs of people because often we'll leave and he'll have made a friend or two. The idea behind Chuck E Cheese is great. It's inexpensive fun for the whole family not to mention it loads the kids up on pizza, fun, and prizes so when you get home you know your little one will have a good night's sleep. This location isn't as roomy as the San Jose location. If I had the time to drive there between work and picking my son up from school then I would definitely choose that one but Fremont is more convenient. There are a lot of games and rides that are suitable for all ages. I think they're more appealing to ages 2-7ish as nothing's really too difficult and most give you tickets for just putting a token in. It used to be really stuffy inside but since the remodel there's a bit more room to walk around. There aren't many tubes to crawl in now, I think that's a good thing. My son is afraid of germs so he never wants to crawl around in there anyway but if he did I don't think I would let him. The big kids tend to take over that area so I'm sure if I let my little guy roam in there he'd get kicked in the face. Call me over protective but my ass if I'm going to throw down with a kid at Chuck E Cheese. Lol. The prices are reasonable for food and there are booths set up for you to park if you're not the type to follow your kids everywhere they go. The place is pretty small so you can keep a good watch if you're sitting down. The employees have been helpful everytime I go, no bad experiences yet *knock on wood*. As for cleanliness.... Eh it's alright. Hand sanitizer is a must at places like these whether it's clean or not, there's just too much traffic in the area to pass up cleaning your hands. I haven't seen anything gross like some of the other reviews mentioned. Oh, cotton candy is 1.99. HELL YES. read more

i come here for my two boys. this place is clean and taken care of. i like it because its not too big. small and easy to watch and see where y two boys are. staff is friendly. i don't really eat here much but when we do we get pizza and cheesy bread. cheesy bread is really good. pizza is good too. i think the costumes of chuck e is a little scary. but thats just me. read more

Make the drive and go any where else there is a chuck e cheese. Showed up and there is no pizza they said 3 hour min wait. Also took over 30 min to get sodas, and then there is no ice and all drink tasted nasty and flat. They said they had salad bar only. No food been served and it took over 30 min to even get filled. The bathroom where horrible and i heard the womens where even worst. So decided heck ill atleast get beer and even the beer was not even good. Oh atleast it was cold... read more

Let me first start by stating that we visited the Chuck E Cheese in Cupertino CA July 2015 for my son's 4th birthday. They experience was amazing. The hostess made my family and I feel like she really wanted to make this the best birthday ever. For the Check E Cheese in Fremont CA I can't recommend this place without first notifying all my friends and family about what a horrendous experience we had for my daughter's 7th birthday. From the moment we got there we had nothing but problems. First problem: I would not find any employees who could tell me who was going to take my half a sheet cake out of my hands. Second problem: The princess cutout had my Name and not my daughter's on it. Third problem: Our party hostess "Yammy" informed me at our first encounter that "All our hostesses have mutinied and walked out, so we are running behind". I didn't see her again until it was time to take find out what kind of pizza and drinks we wanted for the children. She brought the pizza's out and the drink pitcher and we didn't see her again until 4:10pm when she brought the cake out (still in its box). The other parents that were in our party helped me to clear off the table from the pizza mess and also WE had to refill the pitcher of drink for the children. When the hostess brought the cake out she was carrying it by the sides only so there was a noticeable crack straight down the middle. During the actual party part involving Chuck E Cheese our hostess seemed less than interested. Actually sitting on the stage for the first 10 minutes of the party. When cutting the cake she actually used a serving utensil and mutilated the cake. I was horrified. After the cake eating portion of the party she did not return to tell us when the birthday star would be entering the ticket blaster so the other children went to play with the tokens . The hostess again emerged from her hiding place and asked if my daughter was ready for the ticket blaster. I had to hunt my child down in order for her to be able to do it. After the ticket blaster the hostess seemed eager for me to pay my bill and I informed her that I wanted to speak with management. She wasn't so eager after that statement. Our initial party time was 3:00pm and the Chuck E Cheese portion didn't start until 4:10pm. We were told two different start times after I had to ask two separate employees because I couldn't find my hostess. Fourth problem: After reviewing my email with what was supposed to be included in my daughters party I realized that she was never given her tiara, cape, or 1000 ticket voucher. I had to mention this to the counter staff. Fifth problem: When I finally spoke with the "General Manger" he did not seem too concerned about our horrible party experience. We were given a $32.00 discount and a business card with a supposed free visit to another Chuck E Cheese. The General Manager made sure to let me know that they were having staffing issues and he was having to work in the kitchen. read more

Very bad experience last night at Chuck E Cheese! Over 1 hr standing in a line to get in. I couldn't leave because the kids here excited to be there. I ask the hostess why we had to wait, she said the restaurant was over capacity yet we could see many empty tables. Once inside there was only one register open for orders. On other 1/2 hr in line to order. After 45 mins waiting for our pizza I got up to check why it wasn't ready. I was told it would be another 30 mins because they had too many orders. So we waited. After another 40 mins, went back to check on our order. We were not the only ones waiting for over 1 1/2 hrs for pizza. One parent told me he was demanding his money back and cancelling his order. He said a worker was dropping off pizzas to a table were no one was Sitting and the pizza was untouched. So I too requested to cancel my order and wanted a refund. This time the worker ran into the kitchen and then came out with 2 pizzas that I had ordered. He said they where ready but they didn't bring them to our table because they were waiting for our wings to get done. At first I agreed to stay then I saw the pizzas, they only had cheese and toppings in the middle. The crust around the pizza was in aproxima 8 inches towards the toppings. I canceled my order and got my money back. Left and ordered a pizza from Bronco Billy's which we picked up on our way home it was ready in 20 minutes. We didn't eat until almost 9 pm. I have 3 small hungry children! Ran I read more

Poor service ,restrooms were nasty, three hour wait for pizza trash was over flowing

So disappointed to this place. My daughter just had her Birthday party 3 weeks ago. The host that was assign to us doesn't know what she is doing. I have to constantly remind her about our orders. I have paid super mega package for the kids and didn't get what I paid for. Chuck e cheese stayed for 5 minutes then Rome around and never came back at party. I personally choose this place so I don't have to worry about anything and hoping that I can relax and entertain the guest but instead have to watch and coach our host what to do. Hassle free-----not anymore... Have to constantly remind hour host that I purchased the super mega package. Kids didn't get enough tokens, they didn't get their ice cream and piñata... My daughter didn't get the recognition from Chuck e cheese for the tiera and cape... Very bad experienced......So disappointed! read more

ONE STAR is nice!!! It took over 1 hour to get our order and when I went to go check on it, they told me our order was forgotten????? Really??? He asked if I wanted my money back or they would have it ready in 5-10 min! Either way I'm not coming back to this spot! I understand this place gets busy but still!!! Don't forget someone's order????? read more
