This place is so nice. the movie theater has the best seats with tables to put food and different things on. And the reclining seats are a 20/10 the sound is awesome. The arcade games are awesome too. The staff is so nice and caring and understanding. I recommend this place! read more

They need some help. They have these poor kids running around not trained or aware of what they should be doing. Not their fault. But, leadership this is on you. Ordered a ton of food for the kids at the birthday party. You charge for ketchup? Ketchup! That's just weird y'all. The VR the as harder than it should have been to get going. Only one kid knew how to do it and he needed to go on break. Felt bad for him. He missed his break because no one else knew what to do or was interested in helping. Thanks kid. I hope you find a better job that won't treat you that way. To the ones I think are the "managers" here, try smiling and being friendly. It will help with all the chaos of a poorly ran entertainment facility. I could probably forget about most of it if you were friendly. But not friendly and poor service? Recipe for disaster in the long run. Hope someone reads this that cares and figures out how to help this place. Best of luck but we'll celebrate future birthday parties elsewhere. read more

Awesome movie Theater and entertainment location. Highly recommend. It was a hot day when we went to a matinee and it was such a pleasure to enjoy a movie in the cool theater. read more

I'm giving this a 5 star! It was our anniversary! We tried online to get tickets to see a movie, we're older and it wasn't working. We called and a sweetheart of a woman I believe Kara helped us out and held the tickets. That was beyond her job but she stated she wanted us to have a great anniversary! We had such terrific help from a gentleman with his arm in a sling! A sweetheart named Alyssa B, such fantastic staff! My only true frustration was that the manager Darrell I think was his name. While very kind staff were helping us, he was trying to get them to leave us and go clean up a mess. We asked if he could finish helping us first. I think customer service or his priorities were backwards. The non managerial staff were absolutely the best! Friendly, kind, walked you to whatever we couldn't find or figure out. Goodness I was so happy! To experience this place, the movie the food the virtual the staff! Please mangers, take lessons from your staff and treat them the way you want them to treat us customers. Otherwise it mages you look bad and them not to want to stay. In such a fun atmosphere, be kind to your staff. We will be back but also a Small critique. For the cost, fix the virtual two person thingy so you don't have to hold it while trying to enjoy the ride. Fix the headset please. This was a fabulous first time! We will be back! read more

I live near FatCats Mesa and go frequently to take a break from work. I primarily go to play games and win tickets and sometimes catch a movie. Unfortunately, the options for spending tickets on high-end items is virtually nil. Over the last 6 months their locked glass cabinets behind the ticket counter have remained virtually empty. See attached picture. There are plenty of cheap toys, but I don't spend $50-$100 on games there weekly for cheap toys. It would seem like a place that makes so much money would spend a few bucks on decent prizes. Also, they don't seem to keep attendant in the prize area. I've seen mom's with kids wait for 10-15 minutes without getting help. I tried to leave Feedback using their Web Site Feedback site, but it only allows you enter your personal information and does not provide a field for entering feedback. Note the attached screenshot. The movie seats are comfortable, and food is pretty good, but the choices are slim. The families seem to really enjoy the bowling and the kids party rooms look fun and inviting. The employee's are really nice kids, and the few managers I've met seem kind, professional and helpful. The staff all seem well trained and genuinely happy to be there. When they update their feedback site to actually allow feedback and improve their high-end ticket/game prizes, I'll raise this review to 5 stars. read more

My wife and I visited this alley a few weeks ago. It was our first time there. The bowling alley was completely empty as it was early yet. We were put on a lane and it was good for us. We were about half way through our game when a young man came in to bowl. He was put right next to us even though there were 15+ other lanes open. He proceeded to use 3 bowling balls and the way he was bowling was extremely distracting. He would launch the balls half way down the aisle before they even dropped with a loud thump onto the lane, he was already tossing the next ball down even before the guard had raised. The tree balls he brought were in constant state of movement. I would've been okay with this, but he had no bowling etiquette at all, not caring if we were starting our approach or not. It would have been nice if your staff would have put him a little father away from us, instead of so close. We finished up our game and left even though we wanted to stay longer. We are not sure we want to return. read more

Great experience for daughter's birthday! The staff was very attentive and the facility is beautiful!

Would give a 0 star if I could. The whole place was closed for a private event during the summer when everyone is free. Would not allow anyone to come in until the private party was done. Terrible business practices to turn away business and close down the entire place. I understand renting out part of the business or renting out a party room. But renting out the entire place so no one is allowed in seems like a great way to lose customers for life. Especially prime time Saturday during the summer. read more

I recently took my son to celebrate his 4th birthday.. It was a small party of him, myself and his dad... We met Ginger at the bar who helped us with our food & drink orders... From the start she was wonderful! So kind, so accommodating! She learned it was justbour little party if 3 celebrating my son's bday and did everything she could to make it special... She is definitely one of the best, most kind and hard working servers I have ever met... She made a special day 3ven more special with her kindness... Ginger. Thank you!!! You're truly a gem and one of the reasons we will be back to FatCats soon! read more

This place is amazing but there is one problem they always get your order wrong we ordered wings fries and two burgers but they gave us pizza and chicken tenders I don't recommend this place if your gonna eat here read more

We went for the Princesses and Pirates Event and it was wonderful. The kids working this were all awesome. So friendly and genuinely having fun with the kids. My favorite was the gal that was doing the face painting! She was so talented and quick. And for the price it was well worth it. Hope they have another similar event. read more

We decided to go see a movie for the first time since the COVID-19 crisis began. It was about time! This Fat Cats just recently opened up and you could tell from the interior. It was immaculate. They have a nice selection of about 60 video game and ticket earning games to the right as you walk in. A bowling alley with about 25 lanes, a grill and a movie theatre. The seats in the theater look like leather (probably "pleather") and recline. They were very comfortable. We were helped by the General Manager at the concession stand when we arrived. He was a very nice gentleman and even asked us how we liked the movie when we were leaving (we saw Tenet and recommend it even though it was hard to follow). There is ample parking and if you don't want to eat their food, there is an In 'N Out burger and a Hawaiian type grill (as well as a Sprouts) in the same strip mall. If you don't know where Longbow Pkwy is and are in the small percentage of people that doesn't use a GPS app, it's one block south of the Recker exit off the 202. (15-20 minutes east of the 101) read more

Today was our first time at FatCats. This Clean, friendly and professional environment provided a fun filled evening for our family. With fair pricing, a full bar and amazing staff... We will never go back to Jake's unlimited or Dave & Busters again! Thank you FatCats, we'll be back!!! read more

We went here on Christmas Day and found this to be a fun looking place. The theater we watched our movie in was very nice and the seats extremely comfortable. Every staff person we engaged with was warm and friendly. We ordered food from the grill and it was delivered not too long after the movie started. Unfortunately, the theater was so dark we couldn't see what we were eating; maybe I would have noticed the long hair in my slider before I bit into it. My husband ordered a panini which we think resulted in food poisoning later that night. Hence, my mixed review. read more

So fun! We brought some of the grand children here to see Frozen 2 and we were very pleasantly surprised at the experience. We were a little bit late so we were able to order food in the lobby and then go find our seats. We found our seats and were pleasantly surprised to have power recliners with a tray that swung over our laps. A server brought the food to us and it is actually good. The chicken tenders were good and the French fries were tasty. The girls loved the pizza and my friend really enjoyed his chicken sandwich. A very nice surprise as we were extremely comfortable to watch the movie. I found the restrooms to a be very clean. We played some of the arcade games after and watched some people who are having a good time bowling. It was an all around excellent experience and one that we hope to repeat the next time we visit the grandchildren Arizona read more

We've been going to this location since it opened, but the last two visits have made me never want to come back. Purchased tickets for a movie online and arrived a little early to get popcorn. The lines for the front concessions/tickets are poorly managed. There is no straight line to an employee-you just hope that the employees are paying attention to get the "right" next person. Never happens. We ordered the jumbo popcorn combo with two large drinks and upgraded to large icees. Both icees were clearly in different sized cups as the employee tried to tell us they were the same. We got in to the movie (late now) and my sons recliner seat was broken. Then we realized we were given a large popcorn not jumbo. Just not worth all the hassles anymore. This was just our latest experience. Do better. read more

Dec 31, 2019 My wife and I decided to attend a movie on NYE which started at 9:25 pm. Our usual location for Fat Cats is the Gilbert location. They were closed after about 8pm for a private event so we decided to go checkout the new Mesa location. The Mesa location is a massive setup compared to the Gilbert one. We had purchased our tickets online already and picked them up at the automated kiosk near the main doors. The process went smoothly without any issues. Their main concession and ticket area is as you walk through the main doors. The menu on the board does not display their full offerings but apparently their specials or most popular. Be sure to grab the paper menu for a full listing of options. Some of the items on the menu were cheeseburger, pizza with multiple topping options, nachos, pretzels, chicken tenders, a chicken sandwich, sliders, fried zuchinni, fried pickles, french fries... I ordered a cheeseburger combo, some nachos, and a large pepperoni pizza which would be brought to our seats. We arrived early enough so that the person bringing the food wouldn't arrive and bother others while the actual main feature was playing. The pizza arrived in about 15 minutes, and the cheeseburger about 5 minutes later. Everything was correct for what they brought us. The pizza has a decent flavor, but nothing terribly special. The hamburger on the other hand was actually quite good and it surprised me. All the tomato, lettuce, onion were fresh, the bun was nice and soft, and the burger itself had a crispness to only the edges which enhanced the experience quite a bit. The burger was cooked to done, and was warm, and tender. The seats at the Mesa location in theater 5 each have a food tray attached to each seat with a cup holder, and the top of the tray has the seat number. Freaking Bravo on the seat number on the tray Fat Cats! Your other location and most cinemas I go to the seat numbers are on the front of the chair and normally not clearly labeled as to which seat you are in. This has been an issue quite a few times when you have to inform people they are in the wrong seat. Everyone has to stand up and push down a seat to be in their correct seat. Then 7 out of 10 times they swear they are positively in the right seat. You then have to somehow politely tell them they are incorrect... The setup in Theater 5 was really nice. Reclining chairs, no heat. Excellent lighting setup for walking around without stumbling. We didn't go checkout the gaming area as when we left the movie at 11:49 pm it was kind of chaos for the new years buildup. I highly recommend this location, and it might now be our go to Fat Cats over the Gilbert one. read more

All rude and disrespectful staff and management food was raw staff has no understanding of Temps and and freshness and customer service

FINGERNAIL IN MY PIZZA!!!!! Disgusting, I came here with my family to watch a movie today 06/23/2021 they brought our pizza to our seat in the middle of the movie. We started eating and I crunched down on something hard. I took it out of my mouth shined a light and found a PINK FINGERNAIL WITH A BLACK SYMBOL on it. Took it to a manager and told him what I found. This RUINED my experience with them and I will not be coming back! This experience was horrible and disgusting!!! If I could give a negative star I would!!! read more

LOVE FAT CATS in MESA, ARIZONA !!!! This was my Husband and My 2nd time to come to FAT CATS in MESA, AZ. Our Grandson has a School Break in October, so, we come in from Minnesota to spend some time to bring him here. Everything is under one roof. We go to the Movie, play Glow Golf, Bowl, and of course do his Favorite, The ARCADE, NOT to Forget the YUMMY Pizza for Lunch !! ALL of the EMPLOYEES ARE SOOOOO NICE ! They're ALWAYS Eager to Wait on us in each Area, and to Help us out at Anytime Needed ! Bryson helped out in the Arcade without us even asking....he just happen to notice that our Grandson was struggling with his card and came over Immediately to help him. Mattie is who was working the Movie Counter was So Enjoyable and Upbeat. Marcus was at the Bowling Counter, he was Very Helpful, and took all the time we needed to Bowl. We sure can't miss out on some VERY SPECIAL EMPLOYEES who work in Management......Pige, Coco, and Rodney :o) They Need Special Acknowledgement for Running A Tight Ship at MESA FAT CATS !!! I know I'm probably missing many others, and can't remember some of their names, but Everyone is Wonderful, and you can tell that they Truly Love what they're doing.

We REALLY APPRECIATE ALL THAT YOU DO at FAT CATS !!!!!!!! :O) Reuben, Bonnie (from Minnesota) and Arizona Grandson ******* read more

Worst experience in a long time. When we first got there we ordered a cazookie and a chicken strip kids meal. We were brought a pizza and a brownie! I had no idea my daughter didn't order pizza and she didn't say anything till later. The rude server tossed the brownie on the table with a thud and said, We're out of cookies but this is the same thing. No its not! It was also extremely hot inside and the theater was filthy. Our trays and the floor were very sticky an reeked of beer and feet. I will never be going back! read more

I took my family to a movie this past weekend, and decided that FatCats will be my movie theater going forward!! The seats were super comfortable. Great feel in the modern theaters. Staff was friendly and the sliders and sweet potato fries we ordered were well above average. Will be coming back again soon. read more

Love this place! We live a few miles away and come ALL the time, the Gold Cat membership is amazing as well. The staff is always nice, but Ginger is our favorite and always goes above and beyond.

I am new to town and I was invited to see a movie at this location. What a beautiful facility. I am on my third movie since August 2nd. Each time i have been greeted with friendly staff members. If you are into games you have a great selection. If you are into bowling the facility is one of the best I've seen in a very long time. There Is a glow in the dark putt putt golf. If you want a movie, the seats are wide and comfortable. The sound is great. I do not have children but I did notice they have diapers and wipes over the changing station in the men's restroom. Who does that? That is one of the best examples of anticipating the wishes and needs of your guests. Bravo to you Fat Cat!!! I was raised in the hospitality industry and this is some of the best in movie theaters. I highly recommend you make this your one stop theater for your next big movie outing. read more

We love this place. Everyone there does a great job. If I had any corrective criticism, it would be the theater sound is extremely loud and I know the old adage. If it's too loud, you're too old but I'm not old. I have to wear earplugs to watch movies there. I've mentioned this before I can't be the only one ...also I don't know if you use a lower grade of popcorn And I didn't even know they were different grades of kernels until my husband told me. And I'm not a huge fan of eating popcorn anyway, but he is big-time and he said Harkins is way better than fat cats. I guess that's why they actually now sell them in the grocery stores. I thought it was worth letting someone now but other than that I'm looking forward to enjoying the bowling there as well. read more
