They have changed the rules where they want you to buy food to play which is so ridiculous. We eat out very rarely and most of my family stays on a non dairy, no meat diet. To impose food in order to play was something I have never experienced before. And we had just eaten lunch before we went there and so we just left the place. I don't believe we will go back there again. We just instead went bowling at another place. read more

The young manager with the white glasses Miles ,was so friendly to us all! A great place to eat Share some family fun and beat the summer heat!!' read more

Game Time - Arcades Near Me - Houston, Texas

See all

My kid has so much fun every time we come here. We don't live too far, it's not to expensive to buy a pizza and drink while my kid runs around with the other kids. My kid really loved bowling, one of the workers, Kambria, went above and beyond to make sure the game was set up right from the start. She didn't take any shortcuts and I appreciated her help. This is a great place for the kids. read more

We went on Saturday May 22, 2021. We took both our grandson's and we were excited to have fun. One of our grandson's is black and I only mention this to state that we are NOT racist. However, it's sad that some of the black people seemed to be. One lady was staring at our grandson as if she wondered why he was with us and some people were very rude for no apparent reason. We had their first time to ride on bumper cars and the girl running the ride stopped the ride 3 times to help a boy who was clearly too small to ride and couldn't make his car go. We never seemed to get more than 30 seconds of the ride and then when she finally removed the little black boy that she erroneously allowed on the ride then she only let the ride go for another 30 seconds or less. It was unreal. She never gave us a little more time to actually have fun and enjoy the ride. We won't be going back here and it's their loss because we spent a LOT of money and we have 6 grandkids. I liked the place...if only the people had been more considerate. read more

This place rates no stars at all. We brought two soccer teams to It'z for the buffet and to take advantage of the games and activities. The previous time we visited, there was a great deal for a buffet/activity combo...NOT ANYMORE! The first boondoggle is that the cheapest package "deal" is no deal for the pizza buffet and games package. The cheapest package such as it is is $20 per person not counting your drink, and the amount of tickets to use to play the games or ride the rides are minimal. Furthermore, the staff were borderline rude. However, the most disturbing issue was when we requested that the channel on the large television be changed to a soccer game which was being televised in Spanish. We were informed that "they can't have the large broadcast in Spanish" "because the majority of people wouldn't want it, they prefer NFL or baseball" . We were the only people in the room, and when they changed the channel they changed it to golf!!!! When we confronted the staff person about this, she said they had rules against showing Spanish language programming. When we reacted to this blatant racism and requested the manager. He came out very patronizing and officious, and didn't directly say that it was against the rules to have the channel be set to a Spanish station, again saying "people" preferred NFL games or baseball. When we asked about having it on the big screen and mute so not to offend any non Spanish speaking invisible patrons (as I said we were the only people there) they refused to do that as well. I am NEVER returning and I am going to contact whomever I need to to file a formal grievance due to their unacceptable, racist, discriminatory policies. They created an atmosphere that made our kids on our teams feel unwelcome, and that is completely and utterly unacceptable. read more

I love going to It'z. They have reasonable prizes and they always have deals going on which might be a good idea to sign up to receive emails from It'z. Love the theater room. They are always playing great Disney movies!!!!I mostly go to bowl which is great there are some great workers in the bowling area especially this worker Kambria. She was very helpful and enthusiastic which really makes a trip to It'z great because of people like her. So, i really recommend people to bowl because of how it is well run. Also ask for Kambria she did so well!! Bowling area also has a separate menu in bowling which is beyond great. I love the buffalo wings. I will forever keep coming to this place. read more

Parents...be prepared to test your patience and your wallet. Lets begin with the prices. To enter the place you will have to pay about 8 dollars per child and 11 dollars for adults, that includes a buffet, drink and ability to walk around and play games (for a separate price). The food is about the same as CiCi's pizza but more expensive. The variety of pizza is small compared to CiCi's. When we went, some of the fountain drinks were out of order. There were still many to choose from but I could not get Sprite or Hi-C...no big deal but I thought i would include everything I noticed. As for the games, its the standard price as compared to Chuk E Cheese pizza or celebration station. 20 dollars buys you about a hour of games, depending on how you use the points. As for the games there, many are out of order. The mini-bowling was out of order and still took our points. I had to flag down a worker there and he started the game. Oh and the people that work that are really friendly, all 4 people on the floor. It took about 5 minutes to find someone. There should be more staff helping out. Playing the basketball game...same thing again, takes the credits and the machine jams up. Again I look for a employee to help out. Again the employee is nice. When you think you are ready to leave, you have that excited feeling of finally leaving. When you cash in your tickets...here comes another headache, the ticket machines. out of the 5 ticket machines, 2 were out of order. We had to wait for about 15 minutes to feed the tickets into the machine. 500 tickets = a pack of silly bands, a yo-yo the size of a quarter and some little green army men. Good luck parents...hopefully most of these issues will be resolved if you pay them a visit. read more

Burned through $80 w/ 2 kids in 20 minutes, most of the games and rides they want to play are out of order and have been for at least a month. Clientele behave like animals throwing food, cutting in line, screaming at their kids. I also suspect that the games are ripping off points - how is it possible to blow through 100 points in 15 minutes?? I'm praying for the day my kids hate this place as much as I do. The place has changed since we first came a few years ago. Most of the games are now "Merchandise" games which will not allow you to use a card with a specified period of time that you purchase - only the games with POINTS work on those. And every time we go, there are more rides and games that are closed or broken. read more

My family and I visited Itz on yesterday(Sunday) and I must say, we had a blast!!! Reading the reviews previous to going, I was very skeptical but decided to take a chance. So happy that I did. The buffet was good and fresh, the staff was friendly. The only negative were the plates....a few were dirty with food on it. You could see that they were washed(pressure washer I'm sure) but some still had food on it. . Other than that, it was a great day for all of us. read more

Awesome upgrades on the salad bar for those of us who can't have pizzas and pastas :)

Well let me tell you about my experiences at iT'Z. Everytime I go the place is well staffed and food is always up to par. I enjoy having different rooms including the theatre room. My kids and I LOVE this place and it's 100 times BETTER than Chuck E Cheeses. Better games, better food, better fun! PERIOD! The prices are SUPER cheap and can never go wrong with taking the kids out on a budget. I plan on going again and again. I have not once had a bad experience since we started going here. Definitely a MUST try if you haven't been there before. read more

Ok, this is a cool place to bring the family (ie. if you got little rugrats) and you want/need a stiff drink and don't want to stray too far away from them. I think their prices are way too steep to just go hang out there, but if you have kids and want them to be distracted while you chill out, this is a cool place. read more

Noooo good at all way too expensive and really bad customer service! Half of the machines r broken!!!

The games and playing section is very clean, the prices are fair and you have a lot of fun carrying tickets instead of a card (personal preference). The food area, in the other hand, is a complete mess! I enjoyed the pizza but i had to stay in line to make sure it was clean & not being touched by the millions of careless kids. The utensil and beverage counters were very dirty, and napkins were scare. If IT'z would make a drastic change to their food service I would give it a 5 stars! read more

As a restaurant consultant the food quality is very poor pizza is not good at all. The pasta is not good. They have variety. Like chicken and French fried . I use go here with my kids but due poor service and I found hair in my food this very dirty. I'm not coming back until they fix all these issues read more

ITZ leadership team obliviously do not read or care about their customer feedback, compliments, or recommendations. I noticed that when the ITZ internet customer relations representatives respond to the post that the person mentions that they valued the customer, that's a joke. My family and I "were" loyal ITZ customers, the employees knew us by name. We had several birthday/sport parties, visited frequently just because, recommended them to family and friends, and I would say just an overall promoter of their establishment. When ITZ first opened in Houston you could really visit them and get the value for your money, now the food was never the reason for visiting. I have watched over the last couple of years how the value of play has been eliminated. In the past you could get unlimited play in addition to the buffet at a reasonable price and that was a great value. Then they move to "lock out" on unlimited play, which locked out the card from anywhere from 30-45 seconds in between card swipes which reduced play time. If you purchased unlimited play for 60 minutes you essential were able to play for 30 minutes or so. Now, I have yet to see unlimited play packages offered. I "use" to really like ITZ because it allowed my 3yr old and 12 year old to each enjoy one place. The negative experiences with employees up to and including managers, the value, the food, the prize selection caused us to stop visiting ITZ for almost a year; however, for our family that was a shock. I just refused to continue to value ITZ more than they valued me. I gave ITZ another chance over this past holiday season, boy was I super disappointed again but not surprised. ITZ you have got to listen to your customers, value their opinions, concerns, suggestions, and do better! read more

The kids had a great time here. They loved the galaxy theatre room where u can sit down to eat and watch a movie on the big screen. They also loved the bumper cars and had fun playing various games. The staff is friendly but a bit lazy. This is why I gave it three stars. I saw many of the staff members on their phones, taking breaks to chat with each other, or just walking aimlessly around when there was a lot of work that needed to be done. The rest rooms were not kept up with. They ran out of clean cups and silverware which had people waiting around so they could eat. There were more than a few tables left unclean for a long amount of time after people finished eating. This place has a lot to offer! The concept is great, but the staff seems unmotivated to make this place live up to everyone's expectations. read more

I use to love coming here years ago. This place has changed A LOT since. The food is no longer good. All you see is young kids working in the back, standing around talking not refilling the empty food on the buffet table. It's so dirty now I don't even want to eat the food or use their plates and utensils. Save your money go to dnb! Better games, better prizes, better food. Management definitely need to step it up! Hire better, more dedicated workers and clean up the place! read more

I don't know if it's because we went on a Sunday during a special promotion, but there was a lot of food missing, and the taste wasn't that great. They also didn't have any cheese or crushed pepper for the pizza which seemed odd. The food was also cold. Their ice machine wasn't working. The tables felt sticky. The arcade and bowling was fine, we didn't have a problem with it at all. As far as the arcade and bowling, we had a great time! The food weighed down my rating. read more

I liked it way better than ChuckECheese! More options, fair price. And when you need a place to take the kids, this is the better option! The pizza is better than chucke. the games can be enjoyed by adults. The staff was friendly when I went and they were constantly working to fix any problems with the games. It simply has more choices so it can accommodate a large group of people and a range of ages 3+. Maybe I was hungry when I went but I thought the salad bar/pasta/pizza were fair for the price. And again, it's about the options. read more

Food is crap!! It wasn't hot it was stone cold. I told the attendant behind the counter and she looked at as if I had 2 heads. Employees are complete morons. This is the last place a family should come for anything. Dumpster food is better than the swill I stomached!! read more

My sister and I came here yesterday to bowl, (she's in town, and plays in a League), and I'm not gonna lie, it was a really fun experience, the prices were great, there was a bowing place down the street and between the two of us we would of been out of 10 more bucks. Can't beat stuff like that! Also the service was great, we had this server named Kambria and she was always on the ball, get my pun lol. No really, she did an amazing job, and made sure we had a great time. I will definitely be coming back here, lol I need to work on my game so I can come back from this whooping my sister put on me last night. Lol read more

Came here with the kids in the family and they absolutely loved it. The bowling attendent Kambria was great, she joked around with us and had an amazing personality. read more

It was fun, but was also really expensive. The food was okay according to me. This place has a indoor ride.(that was amusing) The bowling was really easy. It was more like for younger kids (7-10) read more

Much better experience today! (My 1st time back since the last review) Seemed like all of the games were working. There was a lady watching over the section me & my son had lunch in. Only reason not 5 stars is bc the food is below average... But they did have pizza steadily being served and you can't go wrong with a salad bar anywhere. Another staff member in the restroom cleaning up. There has been a total turn around since the last time I came! Happy we gave it another try. read more

This place is great for kids and lots of great unlimited drinks and a lot of seating and then we really like it so much when I'm coming back whenever were in the place to be read more

We had a Blast !! Family of 4 went a Groupon we got the unlimited pass and then upgraded. We ended up staying for 6 hours and did everything and truly had an Amazing night full of Great pics and Great Memories read more

No employees say hello when they walk by I had about 5 employees walk by and don't say a word as if I don't exist. The only person who greeted me was the cashier. At least teach your employees to say hello. Also, at night for the unlimited games they should specify it's only for half of the game room. They could at least let you play all the games but not win prizes. I rather this place during the day to take advantage of big screen TVs & Buffett . read more

My family and I visit here frequently. I am big on customer service since I am trained in quality assurance and have trained others to treat their customers respectfully and with kindness. That being said, all staff members here have been helpful, friendly and kind. My all time favorite lady is Tammy who always makes sure I get the freshest salad when I am at itz. She does an amazing job tending to all the customers such as myself. I have watched her multiple times, not only help me when I am here but help others with their buffet needs. Tammy always talks to you with kindness and is always willing to help go above and beyond. Because of her is why my family and I come back. Because of her service is why I invite my friends to come here. She really should be recognized for her excellent and amazing customer service. Thank you Tammy and to the rest of the staff for making my family's Valentine's Day a special time to celebrate. Love this place! read more

This place is close to home and while my kids love going there I hate taking them. It has always been crowded when I've been. I think they are way too overpriced. The buffet is blah and I'm not a fan of not being able to come in for the fun without wanting to eat. I mean everyone must pay, adults, kids, seniors and the like. read more

Being from Cali, I am used to Chuck'e'cheese so to me, this was a better experience. The buffet is horrible like what other reviewers said but compared to Chuck'e rat hole, at least there is a buffet. Other things Chuck'e doesn't offer (at least not in Cali) that you get here are bumper cars, a roller coaster, bowling alley, movie theater, rock climbing, and private party rooms (oh and there is a bar with a large projector setup with sports). I felt that the crowd is also a little more distinguished. I am always afraid my kid will get shanked by some over zealous parent for giving them the wrong look over at Chuck'es rat trap. read more

This was a fun place when it first opened. It has steadily gone downhill. They use to serve real food and now its all junk food. The food looks like its straight out of a can, the floors are filthy, the machines/games cheat the kids and or always breaking. The staff is less than helpful and management appears not to exist? We've been disappointed before and thought maybe they were just having a bad day? Several parents were heard voicing their disappointment with no immediate resolve. We're writing this place off and will take our business elsewhere. read more

How is this place even still open? None of the games even work. I feel like when you're in there, nobody's even working. I give this place a year. I love game rooms and this was baaaaad. Just spend a little more and go to Dave and busters. Not worth it. read more

Horrible! Horrible! Horrible! The staff is rude the price is high and the food is terrible. Do not recommend to anyone. I came here 4 years ago and it was great, fairly new at the time but now it's so terrible. If I could give it no stars I would. read more

Went today and was not impressed at all. The prices are very high for the lack of return. Almost $18-30 per person!!! Most of the games were broken, it took your money and then didn't work! I looked around to seek some assistance but couldn't find anyone to help me without having to leave the game. I wouldn't return and spend my money again. read more

The whole place needs a deep cleaning. The food area is always messy and the pizza is not tasty. Don't understand why it is required to purchase a buffet in order to go in. I like Chuck E. Cheese's system where you can just pay to play the games and not eat the food, even though their pizza is ten times better than ITZ. read more

Great environment Great Staff! Manager was patient and food was fresh. Bartender helpful and courteous.

Its fun for adults and kids. Great for Birthday Parties. My favorite part is 5 dollar all you can bowl. When you order food from the bowling alley get the wings. And the drinks from the bar are really good. read more

Place was a blast. Clean and friendly atmosphere and got to chat up with the extremely courteous manager Matthew who took great care of us.

My son's band had a band function at It'z last Tuesday. When it was time to pick him up I decided to go bowling. A girl named Stephanie helped us and despite how many kids were there she was really nice and helpful. Very pleasant experience! read more
