    I had a great time here for a holiday event. They took great care of us. We got to try their new fall/winter menu and we got to ride all of their games. I can't wait to come back

    Main Event is a truly great place for a fun gaming day out with both family and friends. There is a huge variety of entertainment, and the staff was incredibly helpful and amazing from start to finish.If you are planning a visit, I would definitely say to bring some patience along with you. Because it is such a popular spot for families, kids running around unsupervised is just bound to happen. That said, the crowds are completely manageable if you go into it with the right mindset.Another huge plus is how the team handles technical glitches. If any of the arcade games happen to take your credits or stop working properly, you don't have to stress; the staff will gladly and quickly return your credits with a smile.Pro tip for future visitors: definitely bring plenty of hand sanitizer with you for obvious reasons! With so many people touching the joysticks, buttons, and bowling balls, you'll definitely want to clean your hands between games.

    One star for having a functioning kitchen, bowling alley and laser tag area. The arcade center is basically a waste - half the machines don't work. Claw machines - are not filled with the toys so there is a 0% chance of getting anything as the claw can't grab anything Some games have non functioning controls and you obviously figure that out once you've paid for the games At least 30-40% of the games are disabled, not working or do not accept the game cards The VR roller coaster games do not have any wipes to clean the glasses (and trust me the glasses are yuck) Staff is non existent - long long line at the redemption center Overall, a big waste of money. Will never return and will not recommend anyone spend their hard earned money or time with their kids here.

    Dirty lanes

    This was a disappointing visit. Upon arrival, I used the restroom and it was clear the entire restroom was trashed. I stepped on a dirty diaper walking in, and paper was strewn all over the floor and it appeared the paper towels and soap were ripped out of the wall. I alerted staff and an hour later went back in, and it was still in the same state. The machines didn't work, and the menus were pretty sticky. The lanes weren't taken care of that well and the food was sub par. This place has potential, it just missed the mark. It's sad because a year ago I had a wonderful experience here

    Worst experience ever game not taking accurate point we was practically bowling with no pins food horrible. Experience horrible.

    Tried this place again the experience was great my waitress was awesome so was my parties bartender because she was both thanks to her she worked very hard, but the food was trash. Literally couldn't chew it the Brussels bites should be called Brussels burnts, please replace the chef or get him help maybes Hes rushing idk but it was horrible both times I've been.

    I've been to this location several times to bowl but had the chance to enjoy it yesterday with my Bro for lunch and shooting some pool. We play a couple of games and enjoyed lunch. It wasn't particularly crowded which I like. Our server, Yanni, was really nice and accommodating. That rum punch was perfect as a compliment to my delicious burger. The fries could've been crispier. Parking is free and ample. Great spot for recreation and family enjoyment. Perfect for large group!

    Before heading to another event, place up the road, I brought my nephew to the main event because he wanted to do the obstacle course. So we decided to do the zip line obstacle course and also laser tag. The laser tag was a lot of fun. The room has a lot of great hiding corners and unlike other laser tag rooms. This one was two stories which added to the excitement. We did not stay for playing games or bowling because they did not seem to have a mid week discount and it didn't seem like there were enough games to make it worth our while. I must say that the staff here was very friendly and kind and even allowed us to change our scheduled laser tag time because there was a birthday party with about 20 kids under the age of nine A big shout out to Cam who worked the obstacle chorus and afterwards gave us a Tim for a nice post event refresher at Jeremiah's ice cream spot. I definitely will be back for the obstacle course and laser tag with a larger group because it was definitely an enjoyable time although short.

    We went to Main Event to celebrate my son's 15th birthday. We didn't do the party as he says he's too old..he just wanted a hang out with his friends. The party may have been a better value. We went on a Monday for the all you can play for $12.99. They bowled, played laser tag and pool..well their version of pool! The ropes were closed. We purchased two large pizzas and 2 sets of boneless wings, along with drinks. Food came to $85 including tip. Service was good. No issues. The employees seemed to be friendlier than the manager though. I'm assuming she was a manger bc of her clothing. It was definitely a fun time and we have already planned to return.

    We played games and bowled during our visit. One of the games took our credits but didn't work. The first employee I spoke with said he would return to fix it, but he never came back. A second employee directed me to another person; fortunately, that person quickly adjusted the credits without issue. The bowling experience itself was pleasant. The bowling area was clean, the lanes worked properly, and setting up our names was easy. However, our experience ordering food was frustrating. I approached three different staff members as they passed our lane; each said they couldn't help and promised someone else would come--but nobody did. A fourth employee also promised assistance and then suggested we walk to the bar to order ourselves. At that point, I asked to speak with the manager. Daniel, the manager, came over promptly. When I explained the situation, he acknowledged that they were short staffed. however, I don't think that was the issue, there were plenty of staff walking/standing around avoiding work. Nevertheless, Daniel redeemed the experience. He took our food and drink order himself and even provided a great drink recommendation for the kids. The food and drinks arrived faster than I expected. He checked on us a few times, and when we were ready to leave, he quickly brought the check and a box for our food. Overall service rating: Daniel deserves a 5/5 for his attentiveness, professionalism, and effort to turn the situation around. Unfortunately, the rest of the staff provided service closer to a 1.5/5, as they repeatedly deflected responsibility rather than helping.

    MOST DISGUSTING BATHROOM EVER!!! I was just here to play games with my friends and when I went to the bathroom I couldn't bear to use it. It was the dirtiest bathroom ever. I smelled like poop and weed HEAVILY!!!! I felt so dirty after even just using the bathrooms I complained about it twice and it wasn't cleaned at all the whole night. There was no toilet seat covers and no toilet paper. Trash can was over flowing with trash. Definitely won't be coming back.

We both loved what we ordered and thought it was delicious. The restaurant does offer valet parking. I'm not sure if you have the option to self-park. The surface from the valet team was fast and efficient. I would consider this restaurant a bit of a splurge. It would be a great place to go on a nice date or to celebrate a milestone event.

Everything was flavorful and did not disappoint. I also enjoyed an espresso martini, and my mom was treated to a birthday dessert featuring white chocolate blueberry cheesecake. I loved the ambiance, the spacious bar area, and the outdoor patio. This was a new-to-me spot that I'm glad we tried for a special occasion! It was so good and we had such a great experience that we went back again a few months later to celebrate my aunt's birthday. This time, we had a big party and were able to make a reservation. The restaurant does a great job of accommodating big parties, and I believe they also have a private room. Our waitress was Maddy, and she was exceptional. She did a great job with our party and was very patient with us. The second time, I ordered something different and got the pasta. We all got a variety of different dishes, appetizers, and drinks, and everything was immaculate. I would definitely recommend Park 82 to others. The food, ambiance, and overall experience are exceptional. I love that because it's very hard to find quality restaurants these days. Definitely a spot I'd return to again!

Inside: The restaurant is charming, cozy, and still feels modern, with both patio and indoor seating available. Plus, if you're not planning to go with a big group, they have plenty of bar seating. There's also plenty of free parking in the parking deck behind the restaurant/building. Service: Despite having a large party, our server, Maddie, was very efficient, kind, and attentive. While we were waiting for several of our party members to arrive, she quickly started us off with drinks. She maintained that same level of attentive service throughout the entire evening, from appetizers and entrees to dessert. Orders were placed quickly, and she was also quick to clear the table between courses to make sure we had enough space. Pricing: Pricing is probably about middle range. It's not necessarily going to break the bank, but if you're looking for something super cheap, this isn't it. We were able to pay for our own items/split the check, which is always great with a large party. A lot of restaurants don't offer that option when dealing with a bigger group. On average, I'd say you could spend anywhere from $30-$50 per person, depending on what you order and whether you get a drink (specifically alcohol). Food & Drinks: The star of the show and the reason you're really reading this review lol. The first time I came with my family, we tried the fried green tomatoes and chicken potstickers. The second time we came, we ordered the exact same appetizers. That alone should tell you how much we enjoyed them lol. I also ordered the same entrée I had the first time: the Georgia Fried Chicken. It is SO delicious. The chicken is tender, juicy, and has the perfect batter. It comes with macaroni (2nd time I got truffle fires) and Brussels sprouts, which are just as equally tasty. The portion size is very hearty, so I definitely think the price ($26) is worth it. Everyone in our party enjoyed the food, drinks, dessert, and atmosphere. We all agreed that Park 82 is a restaurant we'd definitely go back

Food: 5/5 We decided to try a leisurely lunch. The menu is not large, but it has enough variety to be interesting. Everything we tried was delicious. The smoked salmon appetizer portion was large, but the best part was the great flavor. I can see why this choice has been on the menu for years. The Vidalia onion soup will be a surprise for the non-Georgians who expect it to be similar to a savory beef broth like French onion soup. Georgia's onions from the Vidalia area are sweet and tasty enough to carry the soup without the help of a meat broth and the green pesto sauce offers a nice additional touch. The salmon on fresh salad was done perfectly. The panka-crusted cod with mashed potatoes and spinach was outstanding. Both were seasoned so lightly that the true flavors shone through. The portions were generous enough that dessert at the time would have been too much, but others can do as we did and take home one of the dessert choices. Next time we plan to try their sandwiches which looked yummy at other tables. Service : 5/5 Service was excellent from the pleasant greeting, through the entire meal. Our server, Clayton, couldn't have been more helpful with the menu, as well as being very efficient and amiable. He made sure our food was served promptly and our beverages glasses were full, and our requests were met quickly. Facility: The facility lends itself to the riverside experience from the canoe in the entryway ceiling to the flowers and bird feeders just beyond the patio tables. The white tablecloth ambiance informs you that this isn't a fast-food experience. There are tents set aside in a more private are of the garden as a lovely venue for special events Location : This isn't a quick roadside stop next to a 6-lane highway. Even though the restaurant is convenient to dine in an Atlanta suburb, the roads to the restaurant wind and meander for a short distance through one of the prettiest neighborhoods, with a canopy of large old trees, with lovely fences, hedges, and gates lining the road. There is courteous valet parking at the front door. The restaurant is not inexpensive but it is well worth the prices paid, in our opinion.

I'd understand if they stated it online or somewhere but they decide each evening whether or not they will take any takeout orders and then only way to find out is by calling. This is incredibly frustrating because you can't plan or count on being able to get food from there and with a menu as expensive as theirs that's just unacceptable, in my opinion. My impression is that they are stuck in the 1980s around when they opened and don't want to update the experience. Hence their post strict dress code and arbitrary takeout policy.
