    Great spot to watch a comedy show. First time here and was a bit confused about how to enter. Turns out you have to wait out front and wait for the previous show to let out. Wish there were some signs that explained this better. Went around the corner to the bar and they were not very helpful in explaining that either. Other than that, the spot is fun to watch comedians and service was good too.

    I came back for a not completely sold out show, which was a different experience than when the room is jam packed. I was able to walk right in and be seated easily. Although there wasnt a huge crowd, I still had to wait quite a bit of time for my order to be taken. I arrived early to order and be serviced so I wouldn't interfere with my own experience, but I still didnt get my food until the headliner was already on stage and well into her set.

    I had a great time at Magooby's Joke House for the Sam Jay show. The check-in and seating process is very well organized, and our VIP tickets definitely got us front row seats - so, that was much appreciated. The drinks and food service from the tables was very smooth. I ordered the 'What the F**k?' Cocktail, and will say - it was very watered down. My husband and I both struggled to taste the coconut rum and peach schnapps that was meant to have been in it. But overall, we had a great time. Great opening acts, as well as a hilarious feature.

    Place still rules. I haven't been there in quite some time but it hasn't lost its touch. Nothing like sipping on a cocktail called "Take My Wife" while laughing my ass off at my favorite comedy club with my girlfriend. All of the drink names are quite creative. from 'Nipple Clamps' to simply 'What the F***,' it's kinda fun ordering them by name. We arrived a bit late, but were seated quickly. They also allowed someone who was *really* late in, which is very cool of them. They have an extremely good taste in comics and tend to pull a lot of NYC/Philly underground acts. You can also hang with them after the show most of the time. Only issue is the bathroom. The men's room only has 3 urinals and 1 stall, so be prepared for a long line after the show at this ~300 seater. The food is solid, not mind-blowing but the mozzarella sticks we had hit the spot. I highly recommend the chocolate cake; it's some of the best I've ever had. I order it every time, and it's always heaven. There is a two-item minimum, but you can get food or drink instead of the typical 2 *drink* minimum other clubs offer which I appreciate. Pro tip: The bar does half off drinks after the show ends. I love this place; I always have a great time and hope to go again soon.

    I had such a great time at London Brown show. I was really impressed by this comedy club! My first time attending a comedy show and will definitely be back! The front house staff and servers were phenomenal and so kind and welcoming, the food was amazing and facility is super, super clean! I had a blast and can't wait to come back!

    Looking to laugh all night? This is your place. A comedy club is always a fun night. A 2 minimum item per person is easy with ordering dessert and drinks. The chocolate cake was the perfect addition with my glass of wine and a side of comedy. Hannah Berner was hilarious and I can't wait to attend more comedy nights here.

    Pay phone outside the place. Didn't work.

    Service was severely lacking. Our waitress forgot several items for our group. Hard to hear the comedians and tickets were a bit pricey.

    If I could give them a NEGATIVE 5 stars I would. The show was amazing but the staff was HORRIBLE. This will not have us back of anymore shows, I will also continue to blast this SH*T establishment. Not only did we pay extra for "vip" seats, arrived 45 mins early and waited in line 4th couple to be seated at table 3 right upfront we NEVER saw a waitress or waiter to order ANYTHING. The unorganized chaos and unprofessional staff made this establishment terrible. We even asked the staff when they would take our order and said we have a rotating schedule someone will be by soon- NEVER HAPPENED! Don't waste your money and time like we did comedy factory is a way better establishment to enjoy!!!

    Steve Hofstetter show was great. Staff was great. My only complaint is that we were seated near the kitchen, and it was very noisy. I had a hard time hearing over the loud voices behind the curtain. You need a door!

    Saw legend Doug Stanhope there last night. I had never been to Magooby's before and when I saw Doug on their calendar for a special Wednesday show, I knew it was time to go. Doors opened at 7pm and the show started around 7:45pm w/ Doug opening/MCing, followed by his pal, Andy Andrist, and then with Doug again closing out the last hour. It was hilarious. The place was packed and Doug loved seeing so many Wednesday night drinkers. Such a great time. Will definitely repeat.

    Menu as of 4/27/2023, drinks on other side don't have prices but cocktails $13, coffee $5

    Round1 is akin to the likes of Dave & Busters, with busy arcade games, claw machines, and a small…read morebowling section. Food is served and hours can pass if there is no other plans to be had on any day. For celebrations, fill in time, or just because, Round1 is entertainment. I have been to this location a few times now and my recent visit was a bit better from the last. While most machines were operational, with a few claw ones in need of replenishment, I don't know if such as the ratio of staff to cover per customer is a factor in these establishments. When one person is covering the food bar and the main register, issues are inevitable. While not everyone may require an attendant for assistance, I can understand how frustrating it can be to wait for help to retrieve a prize in a claw machine, when the same person is manning the register, and pulling pizzas and wings in the kitchen. This place is suppose to serve Japanese snacks, however only one or two options based on the menu board were offered last visit beyond the burgers, pizza, fries, and wings. No ramen. Staffing remains to be a challenge. I was impressed to see the man cleaning tables is always spot on and very quick. Access here is also weird, the direct main entrance from the mall is blocked each time I've visited. Alternative way to get in/out is past the restaurants and down the escalator (Fairmount Ave and Towson Gate Drive entrance side). It would be an absolute cluster if there was an emergency in this place, blocking a major entrance during operational hours is concerning regardless of the day.

    This Round One is a complete nightmare. Ruined my best friend's birthday. We drove over an hour…read moreonly to be kicked out of the Round One with no explanation. No announcements. No warning. Just screamed at by a security guard to leave like we had committed some crime. Another patron suggested short staffing, but that doesn't excuse the lack of communication, especially when people have traveled far and paid for credits. What makes this worse is that this is the second time this location has ruined a birthday for us. Years ago, my sister's birthday was cut short when games were shut off without warning, lights were turned off mid-play, and her credits became useless. We were told the arcade was closing at 10:45... at 10:43. Again, no announcements. On top of that, many machines are often offline or not reset, employees are difficult to find when you need help, and the prices do not match the quality of the experience. If this location cannot reliably stay open during its posted hours, it should not be advertising itself as a late-night arcade. At this point, it's a pattern, not a fluke. I would not recommend this Round One for birthdays, special occasions, or anyone traveling a long distance expecting a full night of games. 0/10. I told my friends I wasn't too keen on going here because of our first two bad experiences but decided to give it another chance. BIG MISTAKE.

I love decorating in themes and my ideal tree was there today with shells hand painted and beautiful starfish cone on top. I would have bought it but it was too expensive for this year. Did buy mom a small tree decorated with birds. Back to the beginning...we had a timed ticket but we had to wait with the new people who just bought tickets. Why get a time then? Handicap parking is a joke! There's definitely not enough available and the parking lot is huge. Please get a parking area up close with 200 spots for handicap parking and you will fill every spot. Very frustrating to buy items & have to walk a mile to truck in pain when I should be parking closer to the entrance. Building is handicap accessible. Getting around with stroller or wheelchair is tight in places. The vendors I dealt with were all very nice and friendly and I would recommend purchasing from them, I just can't say the names now because they are Christmas gifts. Unique items, decent prices and the holiday music and the Christmas trees!! Great fun all around. Even bought small Christmas tree, gifts etc. I posted a review of this for last year so this review is for this year 2023 but pics of both years are attached.
