    Bowling was cool that's about it never coming back.
    Coori F.

    Came here for a quick outing with family. Getting bowling shoes went smoothly after that everything went down hill. Our waiter was new no fault to him we've all been new on a job. He was nice and trying to help as much as he could but his manger and team are just incompetent and unprofessional. Our food took forever when it finally came they forgot my wife's order. So we waited another 20min before we were able to ask someone where is her food. When it finally arrives it's wrong smh. Now it's time to leave and our waiter is helping another customer that has an issue, again not his fault. We wait and wait and wait until finally we get a manager to try and check us out. The manger we didn't get his name was a tall African American male . He was unprofessional and dismissive I would ask how he got the position but "managing" a main event requires 2 brain cells. Never coming back to say the least and seeing all the 1 star reviews here is proof something is definitely broken and main event doesn't care to fix it.

    My nephew's birthday was held here and I must say it was a wonderful first-time visit experience. Not sure if it was because of the upcoming holiday but for a Saturday afternoon just before Thanksgiving this place was soooooo quiet which probably made this visit even better. Located just off Mansell and next door to Sam's Club, parking was a breeze and the only issue we had was due to built up traffic from Sam's Club when we were leaving. There was plenty of space for the kiddos to have the time of their life with bowling, laser tag, and arcade games. There's an obstacle course as well but I did not see anyone on it. I liked that there were two huge separate spaces for bowling and the graphics for the kiddos bowling time was festive and they had bumpers and this cute little dinosaur assist that they could use to push the bowling ball down and they loved it. The arcade space was huge and there were a ton of options for all ages. Unfortunately a lot of the games were not working so we ended up playing a lot of the same game multiple times. For those who win enough "tickets" there's a huge "Winner's Circle" room to select the prize(s) of your choice. The kiddos also played laser tag and had a complete blast! There's a huge restaurant space and pizza spot inside but both were closed at the time. The bar area was nice and there were a good people hanging around there watching games. There a big open space for those celebrating birthdays but no private rooms that I could see so while there were several parties happening at the same time, there were moments of chaos between kids from different groups being in the same space and the tables for each groups being in pretty close proximity. The person who was assigned to our group did her best to manage our large party but she was handling everything (food, drinks, taking any additional orders) on her own. Overall a really good experience andddd I really appreciated how clean the space was including the bathrooms!

    We met up with another family to come here and play. The laser tag room was very large. The bowling was fun. The arcade had lots of games for my kids. The adults enjoyed the shuffleboard. The food and drinks were tasty. This place gives you a lot of options to have a good time. The servers worked hard to accommodate our needs. would definitely return.

    Its been years since ive been back at main event and this was for a job event. It was fun, nobody was there except two working groups. I played lazer tag, bowling and they gave us a card to play the individual games. I played basketball, Pac man etc snd I just felt like a kid again. Main Event has always been pretty cool in my book. Go check it out sometime if you havent

    Laser tag
    Maricely R.

    Came here had a few drinks . The bar always takes a really long time to order something which is unfortunate because they have a lot of staff back there. I'm not sure what that's about but other than that laser tag was great. The staff member was friendly explained everything to us he even joined when there wasn't enough on one of the teams I would definitely go here again love the vibe .

    Fun Friday night with the family. Surprisingly not very busy on a Friday night at 8pm. Tons of parking available outside, decently clean facility (minus plenty of empty cups everywhere I turned). Large, spacious and well stocked restrooms. Tons of games to play in the arcade but a handful of games took my money and we weren't able to play (Snow down, Barrel of monkeys, Skee ball, Gold Fishin', Toy Zone Claw Game). My husband and son were able to play laser tag in about 10 minutes which was great. They had a good time and said the laser tag was 2 levels. We didn't try any of the food but we did grab drinks from the bar. Pricey, but we expected that. My son loved the cotton candy Shirley temple with candy and color changing straw. Great music playing over the speakers.

The atmosphere was welcoming and enjoyable. The food overall was tasty, flavorful, and served in generous portions. However, the menu situation was a major hassle. It's essentially a thick book with a separate price sheet, meaning you have to cross-reference dish codes just to see prices. To make matters worse, there were only two price sheets for 15 people. If they keep this system, every menu needs its own attached price sheet. As for the dishes, most were good, but the coconut rice fell flat--it was far too bland with almost no coconut flavor compared to versions I've had elsewhere. Service started strong with a seamless check-in and timely seating, but the ending was frustrating. Despite calling weeks in advance to confirm individual checks, staff insisted at the end of the meal that they could only split the bill five ways. After insisting on our original agreement, we all had to stand in a long line to check out individually at the register because they couldn't bring separate itemized bills to our table.

The steak and asparagus were cooked well, and the sweet potato fries were tasty, though a little too sweet -- they really don't need extra sugar. The mashed potatoes had good flavor but could've been a bit creamier. The martinis were good. The water had a strange taste, the Sprite tasted more like 7UP, and the glassware was a bit sticky, which was noticeable. Overall, good food, friendly service, and a comfortable atmosphere. The staff handled our allergy situation really well, which made the visit much better. A few small details could be improved, but we'd come back again.

It's a beautiful restaurant inside meaning it's good for a date, a night out with friends or family, or a great place to celebrate for a prom or graduation. It's more upscale than a traditional restaurant however I loved it! I came here with my business coach since I won a competition and the prize was to have lunch at the place of my choice. She ordered the soup of the day, which was like this cheddar soup that came with these two sauces, which one of the sauces was a jalapeño based sauce, which was spicy, but not too spicy to wear it wasn't edible. She did like her soup and she also ordered the lobster and smoked Gouda ravioli for her entrée. She had no complaints considering she bagged the food up to go and wanted to finish it right there, but she couldn't. Lol. I ordered the twin seared chicken, which is actually half a chicken pan seared. My chicken was so delicious! It was tender, juicy, and cooked to perfection to where it was fall off the bone. Just how I like it! The rice and the green beans paired well with it. My rice was cooked well, meaning it was not mushy or hard. And my green beans were a great consistency as well. My little one had a chicken tender salad since she loves cucumbers, onions, tomatoes, pretty much anything that comes in a salad that's not the lettuce. Lol. I must say I was impressed by the size of the salad because it was huge for a child. It would be great as a size salad for an adult. The chicken tenders were an amazing size, bigger than what most restaurants would give especially for a child's plate. I was highly impressed by the size of the portions for the children because the price is pretty standard for a kids meal entrée in comparison to other restaurants that give less. Our service was awesome! I wouldn't expect anything less considering the ambience of the restaurant. Our server was attentive, and he even bagged up both of our meals for us. This place is a 10 out of 10 and yes, I will be frequenting this restaurant a lot more in the future, even if it's by myself to sit at the bar.

Honestly everything about the place is pretty on point, it's an upscale restaraunt with alot of exposed wood, spacious, well thought out originally. The staff has always been corteous and knowledgeable, the menu always a great diversity (main courses, salads, starters - you name it, always slightly original and inspired) Personally though, it's more of a 'bring a date spot' eating in the dining room (cozy setting) and the bar is a dark area. During covid they removed the patio, so there is actually no outdoor seating anymore. I think that's why I most find myself not going there - is the dining and bar areas aren't super to my liking, I like bright and airy feeling venues. But they do have some live music and specials every day during the week that do make it appealing to be here different days otherwise which is brilliant marketing.

    Love this place so much and hate to give them a bad review, but during our most recent visit we…read morewere quite thrown off by comments made by our server. First, we got the feeling the server was over eager to sell us a bottle of wine. My partner doesn't drink, so he opted for water and I opted for a half bottle. It was a bit pushy, but we payed it no mind. Once brought out and poured, I moved the bottle further as to not accidentally knock it over and I guess by habit closed the bottle, then proceeded to the salad bar. The server came to find me in line to ask why I've moved the bottle, then proceeded to tell me that the wine needs to breathe so he'll re-open the bottle. Personally didn't need a lecture on how wine needs to breathe, I'm well aware, nor do I find it appropriate to chase me down in line over it, but okay I let it go as well and thanked him for his help. Everything else was great, until the check came. I guess there was an issue with the card we used and different server very discretely brought it to our attention. Of course we're embarrassed, but grateful for the discreetness. Mind you, we've been here many times and have never had any issues before, just inadvertently gave an old card. I grabbed my purse to provide a different card and the initial server decided to comment loudly to my partner something about where'd you get lucky enough to find her as if to say women don't pay. I was shocked and mortified! At that point I simply replied that it all comes out of the same accounts anyway, just a different name on the card. The comment was well beyond inappropriate, brought attention unnecessarily, and was absolutely unwarranted. At least we've been together for more than a decade, I can't even imagine if this was someone's first date! We didn't need to offer an explanation, but at that point we just wanted to be done and get out as quickly as possible. We'll likely dine here again, but definitely hope we never come across this particular server again.

We started with martinis and (how can you mess up a martini) the olives had no flavor, and we asked for more vermouth because the martinis tasted watered down, which was strange. We also ordered a bottle of Cabernet sauvignon, which was good. We ordered the mussels appetizer, which was very tasty and served with French fries, also tasty. My husband ordered the steak au poivre, which was full of gristle, so he sent it back. I ordered the Morel pasta dish, which our waitress recommended. This dish was not good at all. The mushrooms were diced tiny with some strange flavor, which I couldn't eat, so I sent this back! My husband then ordered the scallops, which were very good. I ordered the Baratta which came with sourdough bread. The Baratta was good, but there was about a half cup of chopped parsley on the plate, which was very odd. It was like a parsley salad, which is inedible. Parsley should be used as a garnish or a sprinkle as a flavoring, not as a main component like a salad. I didn't say anything to the waitress, because I was tired of complaining. We were very disappointed in this restaurant and will not be returning.

    Save room for dessert!…read more The food at Foundation Eatery was exceptional. As a self-described foodie, I'm always searching for restaurants that offer creative, thoughtfully prepared dishes with plenty of variety. Foundation exceeded every expectation. I ordered every dish the staff recommended, and each one was outstanding. Julio provided attentive, knowledgeable service, and you can tell Chef Mel and his wife, Sandy, have poured their hearts into every aspect of the dining experience. Their attention to detail is remarkable--they genuinely care that every bite is exactly as it should be, and it shows. We started with the Crisp Spanish Octopus and the mushroom ravioli. Julio also suggested adding an order of bread to soak up the incredible sauces, and I'm so glad he did--not a drop was left on the plate. For my entrée, I chose the scallops, and they were cooked perfectly. I even skipped most of the accompanying beans to save room for dessert, which turned out to be one of the best decisions of the night. The blueberry olive cake with blueberry sorbet was phenomenal and the perfect ending to an unforgettable meal. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and refreshingly free of distractions, allowing the food and conversation to take center stage. If you're looking for a memorable dining experience with incredible food, outstanding hospitality, and an environment where every detail matters, Foundation Eatery is a must-visit. I can't wait to come back. PS. I can't believe they have a burger on the menu. I'd try that based on everything else!
