We had a good time. The bowling lanes kept most of our bowls so they added more free time for us. The games are on a point basis. U can go through points quick. Pizza was ok not much flavor. read more

Tuesday buffets are $2.99 per adult, with a $0.99 drink purchase required. Also, Sunday through Thursday after 8pm has $5 unlimited bowling with $3 shoe rental. In terms of food, imagine a Cici's Pizza with lower quality pizza and fewer pizza options. However, there were options such as hot dogs, baked potatoes, and sauteed Chinese noodles on the buffet menu. I didn't really get it and couldn't figure out the overall theme of the buffet, but it's not exactly a place where I had high expectations. Similar to Dave & Buster's, you need to load a card with credits, and redeem those credits to play the arcade games or play bumper cars/other rides available. It's probably not a place to go on a first date, but maybe a tenth date. read more

I don't think anybody comes here by choice. Parents don't and aunts and uncles sure don't. The buffet is as unhealthy and starchy as it gets...pizza (mostly bread), desert pizza (bread with sugar), hot dogs, baked potato, pasta, and a token salad bar. They do have a bar now so that's a nice touch... I guess kids will like it, but the whole process is weird. read more

Monday afternoon @ 3pm, the place was pretty empty and as we checked in for our football friend's birthday party. The unfriendly lady said we could set anywhere (since it was booked late) and we were off to set up the birthday table. As we sat down, kiddos went off running off since the package that the mom got was the unlimited play for kiddos. So as us moms fixed up the table and walked to their extensive buffet, the first thing we realized is how old and crusty the food was. Yes i was on a lesser busy day but it seems like if you BOOK a party earlier in the day, no one and I mean no one not even the managers worry about how your party is doing but they surely love getting $20 per person for the birthday party! I kept asking if we could get certain fresher items (that we constantly ate) and even the manager would rudely order the cooks to make us fresh foods which in my book it is not professional, she could have been lesser aggressive. Over all their food was acceptable but I know it could be so much better if it was hot and fresh. The games were pretty neat and so where the rides, however since $20 was a flat fee for all guests, a lot of them were too short to hop on some rides and that was a little disappointing. On slower days, the place has buttons like the ones in Walgreens when you need service. My daughter wanted to ride their monkey ride that goes up and down and when the game room attendant was rude the entire ride and didn't EVER say a word to me or my daughter! (I am sorry if you just hate your life that much, maybe you should re-evaluate yourself). I ultimately didn't say a word to her either, not even a thank you. The only up to this visit is that we made this birthday $20 worth per kid by riding and playing games until they closed and that once you check-in through yelp I got a $10 card for games. I do want to come back, honestly. Just that this place needs a little more enthusiastic staff and it is hard to want to come back when there is many other competitors in the area where staff members at least pretend to like their jobs. P.S. Don't forget to check in! read more

I was pleasantly impressed! I'm not sure why it was getting such bad reviews. The staff was helpful attentive and polite. It was a tad expinceive but there was a whole lot that came with that price tag so I was cool with it. ( Rock wall, bumpercars,this ride called the monkey drop and much more.) We did the bowling and games, it came with endless buffet. I tasted several pieces pepperoni, cheese, spinach alfrado,pineapple & ham, they were all delicious. Also I had a large salad that was very nice. Lots of healthy topings to choose from. Very impressed with the salad bar. They also had a large selection of deserts. I didn't have any but the people I was with said the sopapillas were so delicious. I think this place is great can't wait to come back. My son loved it so that's all that really matters.:) read more

It was very fun! Especially the Disk'o ride if you like thrilling rides! The food was delicious and the arcade games were kinda expensive on points but still very fun to play on. I definitely would go here again! read more

Asked for a glass of water for my 6 year old daughter and was told they didn't have cups! We were there for a birthday party.

Food was delicious. Staff is sweet but the managers don't have their masks on over their noses and many of the customers are not wearing a mask or not wearing it correctly. Also taking their masks of on rides. I definitely don't feel safe and will never come back as long as we have covid uncontrolled. This is a total disrespect for our healthcare workers that are getting over worked because people won't follow the rules. read more

Hosted a birthday party there and could not be more disappointed. There was no one to greet the guests, I had to go back and forth to the front to get the play cards provided, no one explained how to use the cards to the kids and our attendee was new and did not know any answers. I don't blame her but management. The attendee was sweet and kind but should not be put in charge of a party unless experienced. I had 8 kids asking me questions and neither I or the attendee could give them an answer. At the end of the party I had 8 disappointed kids who ultimately rode the ride in the front because they got no help on the game floor. It needs much organization on the party end. The decorations were 4 balloons and a tattered plastic table cloth. The pizza and drinks were okay. read more

I hate this place so terrible the food is horrible and everyone who works their is very lazy and took forever . When we first got there it took 30 mins to get to the front of the line then when we got to the front of the line they said oh we r closing this register can you go to the bowling checkout so we went to the bowling checkout to wait another 10 min there . First thing we went to was the rock wall and my girls had open toed shoes but the dude did not say anything and let them on . We come back a hour later and the new person says oh they can't get on because of open toed shoes . I'm like wtf we been in this line for 30 40 min and you are barely telling me this now ?? Anyways I told him the other person working a hour ago let them get on and he proceeds to tell me oh they can't whatever would u like to talk to my manager and he radios the manager and I said are they coming ? He said oh well I just radioed idk if they r coming so I said we gotta wait even longer now ? So me and my family left this is the worst customer service ever !!!!! read more

This place reminds me of John's Incredible Pizza. IT'Z food quality was fairly better than John's. Food was pretty well stocked. I noticed the staff was constantly cleaning up (awesome!). I don't understand why there are such bad reviews, but it seems like they are trying to redeem themselves. The games worked well for us as well, I noticed maybe like 2 machines that were out of service. Overall, great experience! read more

Fun place would recommend do not put polishes with big eyeballs in the washer it ends bad

Came on a Monday night. Everything was clean and kids had a great time. Adrian was the employee to helped us the most. He was awesome.

This place is aite. I would still choose Chuck E. Cheese over it. I had a small party for my daughter's 3rd birthday on a Sunday around 3:30pm. We had a group of 11 and spent about $130. Purchased 2 deluxe packages ($26.99/ea) for my nephews and 6 adult buffets with a drink ($10/ea). Toddlers 3 and under eat free. They offer a buffet that includes pizza, a salad bar, loaded baked potato, soups, pasta, and dessert. The food was okay. Tables are first come first serve or you can book a party room. We didn't have any trouble finding a table and noticed others didn't either. They had someone coming around picking up dirty plates but she didn't wipe down any of the tables afterward. The tables were disgusting. I had to wipe them myself before we sat down. Food crumbs and little trash was scattered throughout the seating area so it's not the cleanest facility. There are video games, 2 rides, a small rock climbing wall, bumper cars, games to win tickets, and a bowling alley. It was hard to find a video game that was vacant so my daughter and I kept walking around and around until we found something to play. I don't think the kids mind the place but it's not worth returning to have a party. read more

I visited on a Sunday (Adult- $17/Child - $16, unlimited buffet/bowling. Roughly $35 total, no complaints here and it wasn't busy which was +. Great package deals but may vary depending on day of the week. Buffet is mainly pizza but also salad bar, hot dogs, etc. read more

First and Last time!!!! This place is disgusting!!!! Sewage water coming up thru the drains in restroom floor. Eating areas tables sticky. Buffet is dirty and full of old pizza. Popcorn maker was not working, then told by management "oh its off" but why must I pay extra for popcorn located in the buffet area? All toilets in the ladies room have out of order signs, and the play areas are nasty and sticky. Nothing but teenagers work here. No staff old enough to pay attention to detail. Once my mother talked to the M.O.D questions became answered, but not with out an attitude from M.O.D. What a waste of time and money!!!!!! I will NEVER suggest this place for Anyone for any celebration. You would think with this place being here over 10 years the kinks would be worked out. Oh and by the way. .M.O.D excuse for water on floor...."this used to be a Hone Depot...."what does that have to do with the health hazard in the Restroom? Signed, Family Member of Birthday Boy. read more

Who ever the manager is here you need to sit in the corner for timeout! Because ITZ terrible! Waste of money. Spend $70 for buffet and unlimited games that doesnt dispense tickets,but guess what? Majority of the damm arcade doesn't work properly! Literally everything is like messed up. I even played some of the ticket type games and no tickets came out. Probably would of been better going to Chuck e cheeses. I'll never go.back to ITZ ever again, they force you to pay buffet and the food that is below par and worst than kids school lunches. F*** this lame ass place. read more

I'm not sorry for give it a 2 star rating, after what this business did after COVID hit, there's not a buffet anymore you have to buy the food separately and that's spending a lot of money on food, I really miss the buffet and not to mention the theatre WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED, if I were y'all I'd return that buffet quickly. I lost all interest on ITZ, ITZ is unique slightly better than chucky e cheese, but now it's the same. I'm not coming back until they bring back the buffet bruh. I know there's been a COVID wave but you can still bring it back read more

Their lukewarm beer game here, is on point! Not only will you have to wait 40+ minutes to get a beer, but it will be as warm as a mid-summer Houston night. The staff is apathetic and moves like molasses on the ground in Antarctica. The floor is littered with pizza crusts and paper plates. It's a terrible place to go. Never coming here again! read more

Yeah did not like this place at all, 85 dollars down the drain. Brought my kids and the card only gives us 40 points when every game is 4 or more points. I told them I only want to buy the card with points and they told me I can't I had to get the buffet and drinks when we had already ate. So basically 85 dollars to eat shity pizza and drinks with no ice. read more

Don't waste your money! There isn't much for you to do and it is pretty pricey. The food isn't fresh and it's cold. Salad is old and the dressing look old. We had Ranch and it was like water. Waste of 80.00 if you ask me! We were there for less then an hr. read more

Family friendly and bowling alley was fun must go again plus the rides inside are all ages and enjoyed by all

My sons go to It'z with their friends nearly every weekend. They love this place, and so do most of their friend group. It's a family friendly atmosphere but, it's a palace for young adults. The negative reviews on this app are all from adults speaking from an adult point of view. I enjoy seeing my kiddos having a good time, and they don't concern themselves with a lot of the trivial complaints that adults seem to have. I've never encountered a dirty table, rude service or anything of the like. My kids are inspired by all of the teenagers working there, and think that it's one of the coolest establishments in the area. When they were really small we used to go to Chuck E. Cheese, then we moved on to Dave and Buster but - prices+ crowds at D&B are horrific. We graduated to Main Event, but we have made our switch to IT'Z and never looked back. It'z is the best arcade and family fun center that we've been to in a long time. read more

Looks like fun. We came mid week and early in the day so not crowded at all. Looks like they had a little construction going on inside. (Minor repair work). Being a Southern California resident it gave me a Johns Incredible Pizza feel. That age in between chuck e cheese and dave n busters. Nice size place. read more

My two kids & I frequent It'z quite often; typically when they are out for school break. It's one of our most favorite places to go! However, yesterday my daughter lost her earpod when climbing the rock wall. (I had no idea she had them) Samantha the manager, security & the guy working the rock wall (Deven) went beyond my expectations in helping my daughter find it! We have always loved It'z for all the food, games & prizes but this just put the cherry on top of the sundae! read more

It was genuinely sad going back here after so many years when I was a kid. It has nothing to do with covid. Yeah the buffet was cool but the workers were all teens and super unprofessional. I asked someone at the bowling alley Because there was no one at the front of the the building for some reason- I asked them for info o. Which pass I should get and she just looked at me and smiled without answering anything I wasted extra money due to her lack of information. It's not we'll maintained. It really needs to step up there game Because for the same price I can go to Dave and busters. If you don't have a Dave and busters in the area it's not horrible but I would still recommend skipping it until it's fixed. read more

This place is filthy! They have 5 girls working the registers in the front but only 1 actually is working the other 4 are just standing around talking meanwhile there is a line of people waiting to pay to get in. If you didn't have to pay for the awful food and beverages to get in it would be half way decent. The soda machine have some type of black slime coming out of the ice dispenser I can only imagine what's coming out of the drink dispensers. The floors are filthy. And the worst part is that it's not even due to a lack of staff. The bathroom is completely trashed there were urine puddles and toilet paper all over the floor and the odor of fecal matter and urine, similar to a porter potty lingers in the air. read more

After the MANAGER entered my zip code wrong having my card declined, he had the nerve to say "did you pay for the card bill?". Gross customer service and establishment. Can I give this place 0 stars??? read more

I went here once years ago with my aunts and had a lot of fun. This time, much less. My fiancé and I had no idea that you had to buy the buffet (I'll get to that in a minute) in order to get in to play. We had just eaten dinner at home and really didn't want their food, which we already had the feeling wouldn't be very good to begin with. Never mind that the girl at the counter was very rude about it. The games were alright. We got a card with a lot of points, so we spend a good hour and a half together just going through everything. I hadn't realized that this was more of a glorified Chuck E. Cheese than we wanted. I had been hoping for something for like D&B, so there were a lot more kids than I was expecting. And very few seemed to have any semblance of manners. Not really any fault of the establishment, but it added to our unpleasant evening. Lastly, the food was just gross. It had obviously been sitting for hours and I didn't really want any of it. But we wait for it and didn't want to waste the money. I just had a slice of cheese pizza and some of their little cinnamon squares. They were cold and the pizza was on the stale side. The same could be said for the food my fiancé got. It wasn't even worth the price that we had to pay to get into the building. In the buffet line itself, I did not see a single person working (and this was during what would normally be peak dinner hours). There was nobody checking on the food, or switching it out with something fresh. I honestly wonder how this place passes health code with their food. My fiancé and I came here, spend $70 to play games and have the grossest food I've ever had at an establishment, and we won't be coming back. The only saving grace was that the games were kinda fun, but we can get the same games (and many better) with a better atmosphere at a D&B. read more

Time for an UPdate and a DOWNgrade in rating. The reason for my moving them to one star is that it hasn't changed and actually seems worse. My daughter, unfortunately, was invited to a birthday party at ITZ recently. My first thought was "Great, at least I don't have to pay for it." The mother of the birthday girl is a friend so she invited me to stay for the party as did most of the parents. First, the hostess for the party didn't do her job. She is suppose to go with the party guest to the buffet and help them out. My daughter is 11 years old and I felt like I had no choice but to stay because of the crowd and the type of clientele that was here. There were a lot of older teens and adults here. When I finally relaxed and sat with the adults, I was uncomfortable worrying about my daughter which I typically never do. If you have smaller children, plan to stay with them 100% of the time. Back to the party. The hostess was horrible and had to be asked to do things over and over by the parents. With the amount of money being paid by the parents, is it too much to ask for her to pretend she is enjoying her job and being paid for it? As with all our visits to ITZ, a lot of the machines were broken, machine take credits and don't work, and just general mayhem. The buffet is just low quality and a weird combination of crap food. Overall this place feels like a big money grab. The inside has a dirty, low quality feel. The people working there don't seem to care about their jobs. I always leave here feeling ripped off and disgusted. I didn't even have to pay for anything this time and I still felt that way. Just know what you are getting into and how much it is going to cost before you venture into this establishment. read more

This is like a Chuck E Cheese's, but much larger. The food is flat out bad, but people will keep coming back as long as kids love to play & have parties here. Buffet: 2/5 - The food is bland. Service: 2/5 - The dishes & utensils are dirty. Ambiance: 3/5 read more

It is too expensive, the usage time is super short and many machines damaged.

This place is essentially a Chuck E Cheese on steroids. Pizza buffet, games, ticket prizes - along with some indoor rides. You can take the kids for the occasional summer day plan, or hold a birthday party. Price was a bit more than what you'd get at CEC. They require that you purchase a buffet for everyone in order to get in. After drinks it comes out to $11 per adult and $8 per kid. (At that price they better be hungry.) Food was ok. Typical pizza, pasta, salad spread with dining rooms showing cartoons. Service was good - we asked for a cheese pizza with no sauce and they popped one out in 6 minutes. I usually don't expect custom orders to be priority so that was a nice surprise. They also had hot dogs and slushee machines...mmm slushee. We played their "bowling" game which was actually miniature bowling. Think bochyball-size balls w/ no holes and a shorter lane. Kind of fun although it's priced the same as a ride (so around $5 per game per person). Also it's off in the corner (some might say neglected), and oh yeah no food or drinks allowed inside. Boo to that. All in all it was fine but not that memorable...nothing to write home about. The #1 things going for it are that it's cool inside and it's relatively clean, two things parents will want for their kids. Just can't imagine my kid begging me to bring him back. It's indoors so you can beat the heat of the Houston summer. read more

A little expensive but fun for the family. I wish they had lockers to hold your stuff

I've been here twice, gave it a chance twice, will never do so again. This place is where arcade / family places go to die. It looks just down right terrible inside the place, like it's a throw back to 1980's and not well kept. The food is just garbage. The service is terrible. And the actual games itself? Most of the time there broke down, or don't give you the actual tickets you won. In short, I wouldn't recommend this place for a kids birth day, the prices really aren't that great, and the way it's built, it's so easy to lose your kid, and these days you never know what kind of people are there, wether it's staff or strangers. Please dont support this organization. I know Houston doesn't offer a lot in this genre, but this place just plain sucks. I won't be taking my kid back here read more

My son just love this place, but only for the games! We've been coming here around 3 times a year, our last trip was this past Tuesday. Good thing buffet's are only $2.99 per person and I' don't think it's worth more. The fountain machines were all out of ice, Ice tea was water, buffet as usual, nothing to brag about, not much taste to their food. The bathrooms were discusting... This place is going down hill to my opinion. We used to like their games, but lately they have made some changes, and all the fun games are gone. You only get video games, video games... so for smaller kids it's not really a lot left! My son held his Bday party there twice but there won't be a third time! I think this was our last trip to It'z, was very desappointing. read more

Meh, indeed. My nephew was having a birthday today so I thought I was so clever to snag three Groupons yesterday for $24 a piece... their usual package is $24.99 I saw when I walked in. Whomp, whomp. While that .99 did get me one more "attraction" (that's a stretch of a term and I didn't use it), 30 extra minutes of play time (with 1/4 of the games running on points I'd have to buy, and of course what my kid wanted to play on) and 150 tickets (now I'm 1/3 of the way to getting a ball and many of the machines were out of tix, so when I won I really didn't), it wasn't quite a value. There is no pizza variety at all, and def on the level of Cici's (which is no compliment). Forcing everyone to buy it sucks too, we just wanted to watch the kids play, but had to pay $12 a piece for sucky food. Lucky grandparents, aunts and uncles! The only reason they get an extra star is because they aren't in the news as much as Chuck E Cheese for people assaulting each other, stabbing or otherwise creating mayhem. People watching though, I'm not sure that is too far off in their future. Pass. read more

At ITZ you can bring children of any age and they will have something to do. You can also avoid bad weather with the indoor rides. If you plan a birthday party on the weekend, make sure your guest arrive early, otherwise, they will be in line for the majority of the party ( I know from experience). It is expensive for one day and you have to pay for a buffet whether you plan on eating or not, and that doesn't include the drinks. There is sports room for the men, cartoon for the kids, and movies for the moms. Cool place, but make sure you budget before you go. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE! I bring my school group twice every summer because they can't get enough of coming here :-) Great, friendly, and helpful staff!!! read more

This place is okay for kids, but not so great for adults. I would never come here when I can go to Dave & Busters instead. Food was bland. Too many games were broken and would either take your points or not give you your tickets. Customer service was meh. I was there for a kid's birthday party with at least 15 guests. We were in the dining area at 7:11pm still eating when a male employee tells us we have to be out by 7:30 bc they'll be closing the kitchen. We had cupcakes, gifts, goodie bags, etc that we had to move out. We did so, which was very inconvenient to have all that stuff out by the games. By 8:20, the dining area was still full with people eating. What kind of mess is that! We had issues with so many games. More than what I find acceptable. They do have bumper cars, bowling, rock climbing, and a fun little ride, so that's cool. What I really disliked was when I was in the little prize room looking around for something decent, 2 male employees were having a loud conversation about the different types of drugs they use and suggesting to each other what they should try. Kids. So unprofessional. I won't be back unless another family member decides to have their kid's party here which I pray no one does such a thing. read more
