Not a bad spot at all. They have different things here like arcade games, bowling, pool tables, and looks like they are getting ready to have a human crane (claw machine) which I'm so excited about! You pretty much walk in, and go to the kiosk to get a card to play the arcade games. They also have a restaurant/bar going towards the back and they have a food and fun combo where you can purchase some food and get a game card to play games, too. I didn't think the food was bad. The tech time was pretty good. It didn't take long at all to get our food. In all, it's not a bad hang out spot. read more

We had my son's 8th birthday here and let me just say that it was the best location for a party by a ton. The staff rocked!! We had two party hosts, and they were so on top of it- their team even set up our table decorations for us while we bowled, they got drinks constantly for everyone, they kept it moving and were there to assist whatever we needed. They had all of our stuff in lockers or above to keep it out of the way until we needed it. The whole staff were great, fun and helpful!! The kids had a blast and my son said it was his best birthday ever (so success in my book as a mom!). We will definitely be back! read more

Great place to bring your family for a day of fun! Super comparable to a Dave and Busters but with extra activities to do. I saw they have a small bowling alley and laser tag. There's also a restaurant to eat at with a bar for the adults too. My 10 year old son had a blast playing the arcade games! He especially loved the games where he was able to get the collectible cards and these particular games happen to give a good amount of tokens for you to spend at the shop up front. We also found that they price everything pretty fairly at the shop. Not like other arcades that charge an outrageous amount of tokens for cheap items. They have a decent choice of items ranging from candies and small toys up to some pretty large games or toys. Only spent $50 for a couple hundred tokens and that lasted us an hour or so! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun time in the Boro! read more

We brought the whole family and had a blast. Better than Dave n busters and closer to home! Every staff member was friendly and helpful from the front desk, to the bartender, and the bowling alley crew. I was SHOCKED to find the food was actually pretty good. I was expecting some sad, pitiful bowling alley food, but it was restaurant-quality! The games were fun, bowling was fun, and the restrooms were clean when we visited. We will definitely be coming back here instead of driving to somewhere in Nashville. read more

We came here for a work event. The staff was extremely helpful during set up. When we walked in I noticed how loud everything was, which was concerning since there was going to be a lot of speeches given during this event. but once we got to the room in the back we couldn't even tell we were in an arcade. The food was ok, as good as I could expect for an arcade. They never really ran out of anything. The company gave us passes to play games and use the laser tag facility. all were a ton of fun. highly recommend coming here for your next team building/ work event. read more

We went for the first time last night. After we stopped looking for a quarters machine, yes we are old, the staff was amazing at showing us the ropes. Being old, we looked for Centipede and Ms Pac-Man but they were not there, so we settled for bowling. We had a great time bowling for two hours. The food was good, no complaints. Our server, Essence, was absolutely amazing, friendly and attentive. If you go to Main Event, request Essence as your server. read more

Great time! Food was good, so was the service! Vibe was pretty good too! I had a great time me and my wife playing Skeeball and everything else! Will be back soon! read more

Waiting 20 minutes for service while all employees slacking in the kitchen. Awful. Then you ask the host for somebody and starts laughing. Managers need to train their employees to be great at customer service since that's what they apply for and not to have a bad attitude. read more

Reminds me of Dave and Buster just closer to home. A really cool new hang out place. A lot of things are all thru kiosk. You check in and reserve a lane on kiosk. Once you get a text for a lane. You will then proceed check in with the bowling lane people at the desk near the bowling area. You will get your assigned lane. And you can order all your drinks and food by the service person. Inside they have a whole area for restaurants dine in area and separate party area for birthday party celebration. Lots of arcades and laser tag. read more

Hated it. Waiter tried to give himself 25% percent tip.Staff messes up are game cards.over stimulated my kid, was way too loud ambiance was high. Food was decent, but expensive.Games way too expensive. I would recommend a gas station bathroom over this. read more

Went for the first time. It's basically a Dave and Busters. I actually like it better though. Fun games my daughter and her friends had fun. We ordered some food. Chicken tenders come with fries, load fries, and small kids cheese pizza. The chicken fingers were huge and they give a good amount I had to give some away. The fries were good had good seasoning. The loaded fries were good just a little too salty. The pizza looked delicious and the kids loved it. Overall everything was good great customer service. We'll definitely go back, great addition to Murfreesboro. read more

Main Event Murfreesboro was such a nice, similar to a family fun center. Went on a Monday afternoon so it was fairly quiet and not a lot of people or kids there. The selection of arcade games is awesome. I think that games should have some kind of sign to tell which games you can get points back on your card. I do think that the credit prices and credits for each games were a bit outlandish. Some of them were 15-20 credits for a 1 minute game. Maybe also have games that give you credits back as well. Not much customer service, we walked past several members and were not approached at all. We didn't interact with anyone until it was time to go and we were looking to cash in our points. Considering it was only 5-10 people in the facility I think there should have been more interaction with customers. Especially with the kiosk machines that kept breaking and going blank. read more

I loved my experience at Main Event. I went on a double date here and although I thought it was a bit pricey, we lucked out and got 2 free cards from a generous group that gave our friends the cards as they walked out. I wish there were more food selection outside the restaurant! The games were super fun and I liked the modern feel. Options for prizes were good as well. read more

Some friends and I landed here after I suggested to go bowling. We picked up our bowling shoes and headed to our lane. Immediately the server handed us menus and let us set up our lane. She soon came back and took our order. We ordered the Chips & Queso, Loaded Fries and Baked Cheesy Breadsticks. After a couple of rolls the server delivered our food. The baked cheesy breadsticks were delectable. I've never had bread sticks so fluffy and airy like these. The rest of the items were just okay. They were mid and I would not order them again. After, we explored the arcade. We loved the selection! It has enough games that are different from Dave & Busters that makes it worth visiting. We pumped our cards up and had a field night here. The VR racing game has to be my favorite that we experienced. Overall, I will certainly come back. The staff is friendly, they have a bunch of entertainment, and they have food.

The bartender, Christina, absolutely does NOT need to be bartending at any bar. If paying customers are having a good time at your bar (not disruptive/disrespectful), you need to be able to have a good personality to cut up with them and have a good time. This was the rudest experience I have ever seen from a bartender. She cut everyone in my party off from alcohol with no explanation besides "we don't have to give you an explanation, you are all cut off and can go down the road to MJ's" .... sounds to me like somebody wanted to just get her shift over with and get people out of their way. Real smart way to gain business. P.S. - a Designated Driver of a very fun, lively, good tipping group that will never be returning to Main Event. read more

I am so happy that main event opened! This place is soo much fun! Lots of entertainment! And lots of $$$ will be spent! Especially the arcade area. We were looking forward to the gravity ropes that was advertised for this location but they do not have it here. So if anyone is looking for that, it's not here. They have laser tag, bowling, billiards, and an arcade, plus dining. We did not try the food here but will next time. The staff here was great! They were friendly and well trained and helpful. This is our to go place and it's so close to home! Can't wait for our next fun day! read more

The main event is a super family friendly, exciting new spot in Murfreesboro! They have a huge arcade with the latest games. The bar/restaurant has massive TVs showing every game. They freeze their beer mugs for frosty draft beer! They have a bowling alley and laser tag! Also pool tables and tabletop shuffle board. There is space that can be rented out for parties and groups. The arcade is loud- but we planned accordingly and brought headphones for our daughter. Really friendly staff and well managed. read more

Newer family activity center in M'boro. Similar offerings as others in the area with arcade games, bowling, laser tag, etc. Large selection of games for kids and teens. Pricing for food and activities a bit higher than the competition. The large selection of arcade games means it gets LOUD, so you may wanna consider some hearing protection for those vulnerable. There seriously needs to be some federal regulation of the volume levels of arcade games, as many of these games are way too loud IMO. All in all, a nice place to spend a few hours. read more

I never thought food from a game and bowling location would be so dam good! From the appetizers to the main course were amazing! I had the cauliflower pizza and the grilled brussels sprouts and they were delicious! The spinach dip and the queso dip are also amazing. Staff was super nice and helpful. You won't be disappointed. read more

Disrespectful & Unprofessional Experience - Needs Corporate Attention I'm extremely disappointed in the treatment my group received at Main Event Murfreesboro. We were a party of nine enjoying a night out, but our experience was ruined by poor service and unacceptable behavior from the manager on duty--a white male named Michael Jordan. First, we waited nearly an hour for food, and multiple mistakes were made with our orders. Items were missing, incorrect food kept being brought out, and we had to repeatedly ask for things that should have been handled the first time. Then came the issue that made this feel less like bad service and more like targeted mistreatment. One person in our group returned an alcoholic drink due to the taste. I did the same shortly after. The manager came to our table, snatched my drink without even attempting professional courtesy, and sarcastically said, "Didn't you guys already do this once?" I replied honestly, "Yes, is that a problem?" Instead of addressing us with respect, he became rude and condescending, then refused to serve our table any more drinks--for simply returning two cocktails that didn't taste right. This felt personal. This felt discriminatory. We are a Black group, and it's hard to ignore the fact that this level of scrutiny and dismissiveness would likely not have occurred with a different demographic. We didn't even complain about the terrible food service up to that point, but the disrespect was too much to stay quiet about. I'm not one to pull the race card lightly, but the way Michael Jordan handled our group was not only unprofessional and aggressive, but completely unacceptable for someone in a managerial position. A simple acknowledgment of our concerns and better communication would've gone a long way. Main Event, I urge you to retrain or reevaluate this manager. No paying guest--regardless of race--should be treated like a nuisance for sending back a drink or expecting basic courtesy. read more

Service,price and food was amazing. The pretzel sticks were still firm crunchy and flavorful. The pizza the crust just needs to be cooked little more and more sauce the pepperoni rocks the stuffed crust needs more cheese . The taco burger over cooked but the other flavors made up for it. For future use beef base and taco seasoning and give a raw and grilled lime overall amazing. read more

Fun entertainment center for both kids and adults. I took my family here for a fun night out, we always enjoy our time here.

Management lacks structure in communication of establishment availability.

Ok so the good first. Mondays are only 12.99 for the unlimited games and that's pretty awesome. The bowling is fun and the space itself is new and clean. Now for the bad... the service on your food and drinks is AWFUL. Like really bad. Really really slow on a Monday when there's really not many people to justify how long it takes to get food and drinks. Ordered our burgers well done, they came red in the middle. Didn't comp it but gave 50% off, which to me is unacceptable. Waitress took my friends plate from him while he was still eating and didn't bother to ask if he was finished. Last time we were here we ordered food while bowling and that took forever as well and at some point our waiter just stopped showing up altogether. read more

It was great! Good food, fun games and friends. I will definitely be bringing my whole family next time.

We have been to Main Event before this location in Murfreesboro to be exact. if you have a large party this is not the place to go. they need some serious training in handling the flow of the party. we was told 15 minutes cool no problem, the host go and set up the two tables and combined them together another host greets the next party and gives them our table. I was like no problem breakdown in communication we can wait til you set up another table. we finally get seated and our serve greet us. I see that he didn't want to deal with a large party I let him know off top I will take care of you today is my son's birthday and they just want to play games so we want be long at your table we just have to eat something. we sit down at 4:39 at 5:45 we are still waiting on a kids hamburger, no one never took the menu off the table. drinks order was never taken me the payee never got a drink period and I just wanted a Coke. the waiter response to the delay was that the kitchen is backed up finally we get the game cards from the waiter but still no food at this point I just wanted to pay for what we got and let the kids go play games: and the can just eat the cake, I never asked for a manger never made a scene I just accepted the service and we left. this is where the problem comes in I asked for a print out of the receipt and OH BOY, they charged me for everything that was coming out the kitchen. I'm posting this just as a warning don't do no party's at the MAIN EVENT. this is just a place you take a kid if it's just 1 or 2 kids tops, we are a family of six please I'm posting a picture of my receipt let's point out all the mistakes together 7/19/2025 we were robbed at the Main Event read more

It was really fun there my school was originally gonna go here for my outing but sadly it was canceled because of a flood

It's understandable the need for request an I'd for selling alcohol when your criteria says is an underage person, but denying a beer to a 70 year old guy is insulting. And rude. I'm not coming back to this place. read more

Good; they have games and great deals throughout the week. Bad; (for the Murfreesboro location) with my family (4) on a Monday night, I ordered "The Classic" and (1) old school margarita. The classic comes with Regular Pep Pizza, cheese sticks, bbq wings and a caesar salad for 39.9. I ate the cheese sticks, bbq wings and tried the salad (nasty. Was a honey mustard house salad). By 3am I was throwing my brains up ... have all the fun. Just dont eat the food!!! read more

The team working at the laser tag area were so kind and took such great care of my mom and I on 3/22. 10/10 service, I will return

Went on a Friday night 3/16 with my wife. Definitely a newer spot for bowling and games. The bowling process to reserve a lane is right when you enter on a kiosk. Super easy & smooth process. Then sent a text message to meet with a host to be taken to your lane. This place is so awesome & super clean. Prices on items and activities are moderate to a Dave & busters but definitely not ghetto and low on staff. Plenty is security to keep everyone safe. We will be returning to try some food since all we got were beers/drinks. Highly recommend for families or couples to enjoy a fun time! read more
