We actually came for a private screening of the documentary Sanctuary and because we came at the dinner hour, we ordered our food and it was delivered to our seats. That's really fun! The seats are big, comfortable recliners with attached trays that have cup holders and is big enough to set all your food on. I had the grilled chicken sandwich and wife did the sliders. Everything was fresh, seasoned, and cooked perfectly. I actually loved the chicken sandwich with it's crusty chicken breast that was juicy and delicious. Great experience overall. read more

Absolute fun for all! I highly recommend if you're in the area and have some time to kill to come miniature golf, play arcades! Tune flies when having fun! Thank you especially to Camilla, the bartender who was very nice. Make sure she made great drink recommendations. read more

Opposite experience of usual. Per the employee at the desk they won't honor the get out pass on Memorial Day even though it isn't blacked out like other venues on the app. Feels like a mistake that should be taken care of. Kids do love playing the arcade games but I would come by on a Wednesday when they are cheaper since a lot of games cost more points here unlike places like Peter piper! read more

If my husband had my young daughter and I'm not there, yes I do want him to take her to the woman's restroom because I don't trust the other men in your establishment. Period! It's disgusting that you all don't get that! read more

Don't take kids here, they'll call the cops on you for your kid using the appropriate bathroom. They'll get in the kids face in a dark room and tell them they are calling the cops. Disgusting staff at this establishment. read more

Terrible establishment STEVE & NICHOLAS should not be a manager the fact that a single dad was trying to take their daughter to the women's restroom and escalating it to calling the police and traumatizing the poor little girl is outrageous ! People like them and their young employees need to learn what customer service is ! They couldn't even let the father explain or even acknowledge and take accountability that they made the mistake. Why would he take her to the men's restroom if they have urinals ? On top of that even if they did have a family restroom maybe the guy didn't see that there was a family restroom and even if it was occupied he would have still needed to take his poor daughter to the restroom. I mean come on the lack of compassion for the child and the lack of common sense is crazy ! And to the employee who started it all you could have just walked out of the restroom when you seen the dad instead of making it a big deal they all made it a huge deal they could have just acknowledged their mistake and went about their night terrible establishment will never come here again !! read more

I didn't get a chance to play any of the games but movie theater for the win!!! Me hubby and the oldest adult son were able to catch the $5 Tuesday ticket. We were lovingly able to catch Wicked for Good as a familial unit . I wouldn't mind coming back to engage in the laser game experiences. A pretty cool one stop shop for family friendly fun. read more

Operational Gaps in Customer Handling, Training, and Reservation Process I visited the FatCats Mesa location with my family and wanted to provide feedback from a systems and customer experience perspective. This situation appeared to be less about a single mistake and more about multiple breakdowns across training, communication, and process. At the front line, the initial interaction at the bowling counter reflected a lack of basic customer service training. The engagement was unclear and unwelcoming, which set the tone for the rest of the visit. From a process standpoint, we were instructed to return at a specific time for a bowling reservation. When we returned, no reservation had been recorded, and we were placed on an additional wait due to what appears to have been a staff error. This indicates a gap either in the reservation system itself or in how staff are trained to use it. Additionally, the stated policy that reservations must be made several hours in advance is not aligned with a flexible, customer-focused experience and does not appear to be supported by a system that prevents miscommunication. From a management perspective, the issue was not resolved effectively once escalated. After calmly explaining the situation, including a disclosed physical limitation, there was no meaningful attempt to correct the error. The response came across as dismissive rather than solution-oriented. I also want to note that during this interaction, a comment was made that I understood as referencing "people like you." Due to hearing loss in my right ear, I may not have heard the exact wording; however, the tone and context raised concern, particularly given that my disability had already been disclosed earlier in the visit. Overall, this experience highlights: * Gaps in employee training on customer interaction * Inconsistent or poorly implemented reservation processes * Lack of effective issue resolution at the management level This was a straightforward situation that required accountability and basic service recovery. I would recommend reviewing both staff training and operational systems to prevent similar experiences in the future. read more

What a fun place! We brought our daughter (and her two friends) here while visiting grandpa's house in Mesa. This place is HUGE. We had a great time and having crumbl in the same plaza for a late night cookie run post bowling was a perfect ending for the kiddos. The worker at the food bar even gave us free ice cream because we said we were visiting! Good music, nice people, funny videos on the big screens while bowling - a great atmosphere for families! read more

Came with social group to play games! It was a really fun time! I enjoyed the VR driving game! It made me feel like I was in the game hehe!

If you are ever in the Mesa area and looking for something fun to do, FatCats is the place to go. It's a fun entertainment place that has an arcade, bowling, putt putt, and movies. We went and did the glow in the dark putt putt. It's a great family activity! We also played in the arcade for a bit! It was very addicting. It's not as big as a Dave and Busters arcade, but it's a decent size if you have little ones. My husband and I also had a date here while we were visiting. We watched The Color Purple which was a very beautiful movie. And the theater was not packed at all, we were the only 2 people in the theater. It has reclining chairs and they are very comfortable. The bathrooms here are very clean and if you have a baby and forget a diaper or supplies for cleaning, FatCats even has you covered. The overall vibe is they care about their establishment and it shows. If you're ever looking for something to do as a family or even a date, FatCats is worth trying. Also, it's not that expensive either, be on the lookout for weekly specials and take advantage of them. read more

Celebrated my boyfriends birthday party here recently. We like to come here a lot but every time something tends to go wrong. We paid for extra time on the bowling lanes and they didn't care to tell you they close before the time you paid for runs out. The bar gives you watered down beer and tells you "That's how we make it" (so I would buy the cans from now on) Then , the bartender somehow "accidentally " charged $300 to my friends card when she bought one beer for less than $10? THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS. Seriously... Glad we caught that.... Seemed very sketchy to me. AND the bartender even came back to our table at the end of the night to make sure she got her money for the beer she charged $300 to. As a bartender, I would've given that beer for free. Usually the things we go through are minimal enough we like come back. But never this location again. read more

Skiball I played had 3 balls so you have to wait for each ball to roll back down, it breaks the rhythm. Shoot the zombie water game, the water and actual shooting spots are WAY off. Twister game doesn't register when you place your hands or feet. This is the first 3 games I played, 100% failure rate. What a waste of money when nothing works right. Update: few minutes later my daughter put coins into the coin drop machine that turned out to be broken. We contacted an employee for a refund and to mark it broken, they blew us off and left it available to steal more people's credits. Place just keeps getting worse! read more

We love FatCats! We go all the time with our Pogo Passes. We like to go on Wednesday to take advantage of their half price arcade games. Bowling and glow golf is the best way to get out of the heat and spend the afternoon! We also usually purchase the big popcorn bucket to refill all year long - it's the best way to feed a big group of kids on a budget! My kids always look forward to it! read more

Fat Cat's is in our neighborhood and we decided to go in to see what it's all about. They have a full sized movie theater, an area for arcade games, mini golf, and bowling. They have a snack bar for some delicious eats. We went for bowling. They charge $18/hour per person for bowling. We got our shoes and they told us what lane we had and after picking out the right ball, we got to work. I am not good at bowling, but it was fun none the less. We will be back for more bowling and maybe a movie next time. read more

We took our daughter here for a family outing on her birthday. Our whole family went and it happened to be family Monday- a great deal! Bowling and $10 game card and a pizza and drinks for $60. I wish we had seen the sign before we bought game cards but now we know for when we go back. The bathroom was one of the cleanest public restrooms I've ever seen, and they provide diapers and wipes- my kids are beyond that but it's a nice gesture! There were 2 managers walking around and when we had an issue they were super friendly and quick to resolve it. We will be back! read more

Don't know why on earth they would remove the hot dog, fried pickles or onions rings from the menu. Makes absolutely no sense. The fried pickles were one of the best I've ever had. read more

The seats in this theater are 2nd to none! Their luxury theater seats are so new, clean, and incredibly comfortable! I usually don't like to sit for too long, but a 3 hour Batman show was a piece of cake! U can have food/snacks delivered to ur seat as well. As far as I know, they have cosmic bowling, mini golf, and games! The games aren't the greatest, but u could kill a little bit of time playing a few good ones there. Prices are reasonable, and staff consist of mostly friendly highschool kids! read more

Nice clean movie theater. Reclining seats are awesome. Popcorn was good and icees. I would definitely go again.

Very impressed with recent experience! We take our our three year old daughter regularly to play games here and we haven't had a bad experience. But Yesterday we took her to her first movie and I noticed on more than one interaction with the staff how friendly and helpful everyone was to us. Everyone was busy doing their jobs and were just very kind. Rare to see places on their "A game" and this place was so kuddos to them and we will be back. Plus they had a cute balloon display for pictures, the trolls movie. read more

Love fats cats and so excited I have a location in Mesa. It's such a great place for bowling, movies, video games, golfing and VR. This location is huge in comparison to the Gilbert location. I generally come here for the movies and I'll say the theaters are way nicer than the Gilbert location. They even have little tables for each seat so you can enjoy your food. The biggest fault of this location is the food choices in comparison to the Gilbert location. It's a smaller menu and doesn't nearly have the options like the fat cats burger and the loaded nachos. I wish they would update the menu to add those. I do like they have the Dolby Atmos audio system in the theater. Best sound you can get for your movie experience! Outside of that, it's a great experience and I love fats cats. If they just expanded the menu a bit, they would get five stars for sure read more
