Food was fine. Inconsistencies when it comes to kindness and level of service. I had some event cards to use and I'm still unclear if I'm allowed to use them or not and return on another visit. The visit that we did have was adequate. There were not a lot of people for the laser tag, but we did run around and play the arcade games and bowl. It was fun to watch the Little League World Series while bowling. This is right on i drive, so there's plenty of things to go and do. read more

Pretty big establishment. Used to host parties here when I was at my previous job and remember it being great! It's been a few years and I decided to take my kiddos out for a little treat. They had fun with bowling and the arcade games. They offer electronic bumpers and the also had cute little Dino's for the kids to use and roll their bowling balls down. The lanes were fairly empty. The three stars comes for the service. We paid an hour for bowling and we were hungry but no one came to check in on us. 35 min and I had to find a manager to get some water and be able to place our food order. The food itself was good. The fried pickles was the best out of the appetizers we ordered (sliders and fries). Overall good place to have a party and kill a Saturday afternoon. read more

3.5 stars We had our Christmas event here again and it was a blast getting to see everyone, eat together and then kick their butts playing games. The meal provided was tacos with cubed chicken, cut up chicken breast with peppers and onions and ground meat, they had chips but by the time I went up to fill my plate the bowl was empty as was the sour cream and salsa. The servers were great at setting down refills of the meats and rice, they were also great clearing away the dirty plates. Our team then went to play bowling which was lots of fun and then did some arcade games till it was time to head out. read more

This place was rented out for a work event. I'm sure the employees were just overwhelmed with the amount of people but the attitudes on the bartenders my goodness. We were served beers in plastic cups; which was fine again - work event and a lot of people. We had pizza, tenders, and mini hot dogs. The food was ok. Honestly, this is a beer and or soft drinks kind of a place. It is a kids arcade. We did play laser tag, that was fun. read more

We had stopped at Main Event to use an ATM. When we got there we found out they no longer had the ATM. The staff was friendly and helpful. One staff member went above and beyond to find out where we could find one. Even though she said she had only started working there a few weeks ago, she found out the information we needed and promptly relayed where we could find ATM. Thank you again to the Main Event staff for the willingness to help and guidance in the right direction. read more

We were excited to try this place since it offered bowling, arcade games, and sit-down restaurants--all in one spot. We got a lane for five people and were looking forward to some friendly competition. However, as we arrived at our lane, we immediately noticed that the floor was sticky and the table hadn't been wiped down, which was a bit off-putting. About 15 minutes into our game, the kids got hungry, so I asked an employee where we could order food. He said that he would send someone to our lane to take our orders, but after 10 minutes, no one showed up. I then approached another employee who was delivering food to another lane and politely asked if he could take our order once he was done. He agreed, but another 10 minutes passed, and still--nothing. I had to remind him again at their computer station, and while he apologized and said he'd come by after placing an order, he never did. At that point, we only had five minutes left in our game, so we decided it wasn't worth the effort anymore. Instead of extending our bowling time, we left and went to Maggiano's for dinner. Overall, our experience was disappointing. While we were excited to try this place, the lack of cleanliness and poor service made it less enjoyable. If we decide to return in the future, we hope the service improves. In the meantime, management should ensure that lanes are properly cleaned and that staff follow through on customer requests. read more

This place is pretty fun. They have so many things you can do. Bowling, pool tables, arcade games, lazer tag, and a zip line. It is pricey but you can sign up online and get discounts so thats a plus. Service was something we had to hunt for and then wait and then hunt again but eventually we were able to get food orders in. So maybe eat before you go in. We also had to hunt down people to clean areas so we could use but in all fareness it was a very busy day. Bbq chicken my son enjoyed very much. The pizza my kids didn't care for it to much but it was fine for myself and a baby. I myself would not come back. But I can see the allure. read more

Our daughter's 5th birthday at Main Event turned out to be an amazing experience, even though the planning process wasn't smooth at first. When booking the Pancakes & Play package, I ran into unexpected challenges trying to arrange seating for the accompanying parents. What I thought would be a simple request required several conversations before a solution was found. As a parent of a 5-year-old, being able to sit close enough to supervise the children is important, so I was disappointed that this wasn't easier to accommodate initially. I shared my concerns with Main Event's President, Tony Wehner, who personally responded and committed to working with his team to find a solution. Todd Gurney, the General Manager, then reached out to better understand what I was hoping for and made sure everything was in place before the party. When we arrived, the seating was exactly as discussed. Two tables were reserved near Party Street, allowing the parents to comfortably supervise the kids while still enjoying the celebration. It made all the difference. I also want to give a huge thank you to Adrienna and Zarianna. They were absolutely fantastic! From the moment we arrived, they were friendly, organized, attentive, and genuinely excited to help make the party special. They stayed on top of every detail, and because of them, we were able to relax and enjoy celebrating with our daughter. What impressed me most was not that everything was perfect from the beginning, but that Main Event listened to customer feedback and followed through. It's refreshing to see leadership and the local team work together to make things right. Thank you to Tony, Todd, Adrienna, Zarianna, and the entire team for making our daughter's birthday such a wonderful memory. We wouldn't hesitate to celebrate another birthday at Main Event! read more

Really don't recommend for 6 and 4 year olds, it's a nice place but can be very pricey and children under a certain height can't do everything read more

This would have been a 5 but we had a small issue with Tony and his attitude. JOHNNY AND CRYSTAL W. went above and beyond to remedy the situation If it were not for them we would have left refunded. KUDDOS TO THEM. read more

We walked over here from our hotel and were impressed by the set up! It's like Dave & Busters, but better. Tons of food and drink options. Service was great as well, our server even introduced me to a new tequila and made me the most delicious spicy margarita. When in Orlando, we'll definitely add this back to our list of spots to visit. read more

The rundown: if you're seeking a lively environment where the main event is lack of organization and expensive unmaintained products, then you've found the right place. The review: We decided to take our team to Main event, to try as a different type of entertainment gathering. They offered a lively environment with bowling. Contacting them, we were told they do not do lane reservations and only do walk in. Unfortunately it was regretful. We started out with overpriced drinks, which granted is to be expected from such a place. Then went to do bowling. This was a first sign that things were off - they have a LOT of lanes however you cannot simply go in to use them. If anyone is having a special dinner or food event then the lanes are kept open for whenever they finish. We were unable to do bowling. We saw lanes empty for the entire time we were there (around two hours). So we did the backup, and got arcade cards. As usual, these types of locations charge you fees to be able to get a card that utilizes their card system which is always a disappointment as the games are already overpriced. Several games were broken, including a photo booth where you were "charged" to get photos. But the team would not refund any credits so it became a waste. They also kept it open and others experienced same problem, so it started to seem almost tactical as a way to have people run down credits and need to purchase additional. We noticed they had pool tables and tabletop shuffle boards. After inquiring at the bar, it was $10/30 min (for each type). This seemed very steep for barb games but we decided to shuffleboard a go to give the team something different to do outside of overpriced video games. We learned the timer started as soon as the transaction was begun, and if items were not returned before the 30 min ended they would automatically charge your card again. Keep in mind the bar is not immediately next to the area with these tables. We go to play shuffleboard and find out that we were missing pieces to play. So we had to go back to the bar to get the right pieces. 5 minutes wasted of the 30 minutes. We kept a timer to not get charged an additional $10 and returned it before the 30 min were up. And the bar tenders requested tips for this. Overall, the experience felt like very blatant ways to nickel and dime patrons. I understand it costs a lot of money to run these types of businesses but some of the basics were missing (efficient operations, care to upkeep or maintain options for customers, guest service and employee concern). You're better off going to an actual bowling alley, or Dave & Buster's. read more

Went for a little date night with hubby! We had a sweet time, grabbed a quick bite and drinks then hit the bowling/arcade. The food was decent, the flatbread was delicious! We really enjoyed the queso fries as an appetizer. Our service was very friendly ! I loved that we were able to visit on a slower night we didn't have to wait to bowl or to sit and eat. read more

Main Event was just that......The Main Event! Took our time, played a game, wished I'd taken more pictures but dare I say it was enjoying myself too much. Their team was very welcoming, food was yummy and wished I'd taken pictures of the soda bar. They have bowling, pool tables and an arcade. Fun for everyone. Fun times!!! read more

Came here for some bowling on a weekday and had a decent time. We did an hour of bowling with about 8 people. Since it's only 4 to a lane we took two lanes. One of the lanes wasn't working at first and the pins were stuck. We tried the intercom system but that didn't seem to be working so I walked all the way back to the front desk to find someone to bring attention to it. It took awhile, which would've been fine except we're paying for the time. (Also it's a little inconvenient that the only restrooms are on the opposite side of the building from the bowling lanes) Other than that the bowling went smoothly and they do have a fancy system with lots of features. It even lets you take selfies to go along with your name on the scoreboard. We ordered a few food items and a drink. Although it's a little pricey, the food was actually pretty good but the drink was watered down. Our server never checked back on us so we ended up telling one of the food runners and they finally replaced it. Honestly everything took an unusually long time to come out despite the fact that there wasn't many other people there on a Thursday. So even though we had a decent time bowling I'd be hesitant to come back here considering the price and the level of service. read more

I've come to this spot various times with friends and family and I always find it funny that I have different reviews every time. Again Great area to have a nice day outing filled with entertainment , food, drinks , and Just a good time. Area is located in pointe Orlando , so it is surround by multiple franchises and restaurants. More specifically , located right under the regal cinemas. Service was great once again and he took care of us much faster than anticipated. Crowd was decent for the Thursday night outing, but definitely would like to come back again. They have plenty of things to do and great place to check out and enjoy! read more

I was taking my little brother to Roboland, but found out they don't open until later in the afternoon. I stumbled upon this arcade, and we went in here to kill some time. It ended up being way more fun than Roboland. My boyfriend, brother, and I had a great time! It is an arcade, so be prepared for kids and noise. This is comparable to Dave and Busters. They had a lot of the same games, and it wasn't super busy. I didn't eat anything there, so I can't speak to the food. read more

We came to Main Event hoping to bowl, but found a very long (estimated two hour) wait. This is definitely a place that you need to plan ahead for a reserve a spot for. We wound up not having time ate at their restaurant called "Family Kitchen." The food was decent and the service was great! read more

We were strolling around and encountered Main Event. Im a big fan of arcade type games so we decided to stop by and check it out. We got pulled in, so we got a card and filled it up with points and started playing. Overall, we had a great time. Especially since the drinks were affordable it kept us playing longer. Some games were classics like skeeball, some games were modern like the VR games and some other games were outdated and clunky like the Terminator first person shooter. It had a good proportion of games, just wished that these outdated games were replaced. Aside from the arcade games they also had laser tag which unfortunately we couldn't do but looked like fun nonetheless. Overall we had a great time and definitely planning on coming back. read more

Went on a Saturday morning and it was so fun. We got a one hour playing card. My kids- ranging from ages 4-16 had a blast. I definitely suggest going early because as we were leaving it was busier. We also went for a birthday party and it was a bit crazier. Now the food was so delicious and not expensive at all. We went with 7 kids and 4 adults and only spent $120. They have these bundles that include different food options. One of our kids also has to navigate his meal due to a health issue and we were able to find something suitable. Kids ate so fast that I couldn't get good pics lol the Brussels sprouts, friend pickles and buffalo tender sandwich was our fave. Drinks were delicious and not too over priced. There is so much to do. It is definitely a great place for families. I saw some what I assume are dads sitting at the bar while their kids played. We will definitely be going back soon read more

We ordered at 9:43 and we got our food at 11:01 and my wings were cold. And they gave me the wrong drink, do not recommend!!!

Came to Pointe Orlando after being at a festival the first part of the day. I've been to the Jacksonville Main Event but not the Orlando one. Service was better at this location in the restaurant area. I ordered a salad with chicken. The only thing is, I got shredded iceberg lettuce, which I've never had in a salad before. It's generally romaine or spring mix. They also put the dressing in the salad instead of on the side. Usually it comes on the side at most restaurants. Was just a bit much when eating it. My partner got the loaded chicken nachos. My kiddo got the kids cheese pizza and fries. I enjoyed my drink. We played a few games, but they really need to get DDR, and House of the Dead. We ended up going down the street to Dave and Buster's just to play House of the Dead. Next time I'm down, I'd like to check out the gravity ropes and escape rooms. read more

I have been here twice for a work event and a Yelp event. There's a nice variety of video games, a ropes course, laser tag, bowling, air hockey, and pool tables, so there is something for everyone. The food is decent, but that's to be expected as you aren't coming here for gourmet offerings. This is a nice spot for the whole family to enjoy and is located in Pointe Orlando with a lot more to do too as well (restaurants, movie theatre, improv theatre, and shops). P.s. Be aware that they card everyone. Even at my work event where nobody was under 21 including 70 year old men. Nothing wrong with that since they have a universal policy to ensure compliance, but just make sure to have your ID on you if you want to drink. read more

Honestly this place is incredible! BUT extremely pricey for the service and type of food you get. I enjoyed the cleanliness of the place and all the options you get to see and do but other than that you are spending way too much money on poorly made drinks and food, next time I'll just eat beforehand! read more

I looked online ahead of our visit. I noticed a $14.99 all you can play offer on their website. I called to confirm this and unfortunately, this offer is not available at their Orlando location. Bummer. I inquired about the rates for bowling and it was $23/hr before 5 plus the cost of shoes. As for the arcade, There aren't any "timed" cards... everything had to be paid based on points. (And each game used around 7points each play). Nonetheless, we decided to come anyways. This is definitely a smaller Main Event than the last one I visited. The facility appeared clean and the staff were friendly. We decided on not bowling (since it would have been about $45 for a game of bowling... about all our kids are willing to do). Instead, we bought $75 worth of points and divided them up between the kids. I noticed an advertisement giving you a 30-minute play card when signing up with them and I did that too. Our kids had a blast playing in the arcade. They $75 allowed them approx. 90 minutes of playing. My husband and I got to enjoy a few games ourselves with the 30-minute card. The prizes, in our opinion, are pretty lame. For $75, our kids won about $1 worth of crap but they were excited and happy to pick out their prizes. BONUS: we got our parking paid for by Main Event. They gave us a ticket to use in the parking garage upon exiting. That was nice! read more

DO NOT HAVE YOUR CHILDS PARTY HERE. Absolutely the worst birthday party we've ever had . The staff was late we started late and gave us a different room than we payed for . Most of the party the kids sat and waited around bc nothing was ready. A few parents actually asked if they could step in to help , I think they saw how upset the kids were. The staff just isn't good with kids they aren't engaging at all. I was so embarrassed the kids did not have fun bc they didn't get to do anything! 1600 wasted . I'm so upset and embarrassed for my daughter read more

Mediocre at best for food. Maybe the entertainment makes it worth it. Came in on a Saturday after dinner rush and it wasn't terribly busy (should have been the first clue). Followed directions to go to the Bowling check-in to get seated for the restaurant and got a stern "go over to the restaurant". Took quite a while to get drinks ordered and an equally long time to get food ordered. Some in the group mentioned items they wanted left off of meals or allergies and those were seemingly not heard, as there was a lot of scraping off of those items. Our server also spent a lot of time at a neighboring table, seemingly of their friends and ignored us well after we were finished. Again, maybe go here for the entertainment and skip the food. read more

Eh. There was a lot to do here, but the price is just way too high and it's real tough to get here without struggling with parking. Plus the arcade doesn't have all the new games we were looking for. Go with Arcade Monsters instead. Much more value. read more

This is a neat place located in the dead zone of the once great pointe Orlando. Walking through pointe Orlando after parking I was questioning if this spot even existed because it was a sad ghost town shell of what it once was. Luckily as we came closer to main event we could hear the inside. We started off with bowling which seemed reasonably priced for an hour. My only complaint is how much they oil their lanes. Curving your ball was almost nonexistent. After our hour of bowling we had 20 minutes before our laser tag session so we played a couple of the arcade games. With all 122 of our tickets my girlfriends nephew was able to 'buy' 5 pieces of candy. Laser tag was fun, seemed to last a good amount. Fun for adults and kids. Overall has a decent time read more

Tired of going to these places that want to be better or like Dave and buster but just lack in quality gaming, food and drink service..... Food was mediocre, drinks were meh and the arcade selection is terrible on top of that high prices... not worth it if your a local, there are better places to eat and socialize and hands down dave and buster is better or the karting place next to top golf read more

Honestly the best place to come to celebrate a birthday or any celebration. They have everything from bowling to laser tag, it's not too crowded tonight (Monday) which is a good thing. We were a party of 9, they said we had to wait a little bit due to callouts. I ordered a Blue Hawaiian cocktail which was not too strong or sweet but you could still taste the alcohol which was perfect. As appetizers we had ordered pizzas which you wouldn't expect It is really good here and some boneless wings. The Ambiance is laid-back good music playing so you could get the club vibes read more

Main Event Orlando - Blue Hawaiian - Arcades Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Was very glad to come back here to use the free bowling coupon I'd gotten during a Yelp event and overall had a good time. The initial Front desk service was great but had a few snags once we got bowling. Our lane had several problems and one of the attendants wasn't thrilled to help us. Returning the shoes was also more complicated than it had to be since there were no signs or anything like that and once again, a worker wasn't thrilled to point us in the right direction. Also it was hot, like please crank the air conditioning hot. But this is a great option to extend your date night at Pointe Orlando. And I would go back. The issues were minor, not enough to ruin our night out. read more

Out of most of the Main Events I've visited, this is probably the worst one. Apparently they don't take Visa as a payment option, and on the basketball game, the balls we're stuck in the net and the people refused to give us our points back when we tried to free them. Also, some kid threw up and the janitor or whoever didn't come to clean it up until 45 minutes after so that vomit smell just filled the whole area. One of the employees was looking at my sister inappropriately (she's eight btw) and we were just treated poorly by the staff. Around the area is like da hood, so it reeks of cigarettes and drugs. The food was cold and stale and the soda was cardboard flat. Overall I had fun but if I had a choice, I probably wouldn't come back. read more

We've been here to play games a few times but this was our first time dining here. I'm not sure how the pizza or other people's food taste but I was very happy with my fried chicken wings. The wings were tender and crispy. I had the sauce on the side because I like it like that. The fries were crispy too. I order the meal + game combo and I think it's very worth it. Would definitely eat that again. Our waitress was also very nice so that's a plus. read more

Truly one of the most disheveled and crappy dining experiences I have ever had. We ordered appetizers and entrees. After 45 minutes we had not even got our entrees (the place was not busy minus one large party) when our server came to say, "the food is going to take a while because of the big party. Do you want me to bring it all at once or as it's ready?" Now they have an open kitchen and we had seen food sitting under the heat lamps for easily 20-25 minutes without anyone grabbing it. We asked what that food was and they had no answer. Then magically not even two minutes later our sever came and said "oh actually your food is ready and coming now" what? So that was our food sitting there this whole time. We were served our entrees 45 minutes later...still had not gotten any appetizers. I asked to cancel our app but another couple sitting with us finally got their app 5 minutes after the entrees were served. A friend Who joined us late ordered her meal probably 10 min before our food arrived and got hers at the same time. Total confusion with a ton of servers, no one seeming to even try to lead or help organize what seemed to be a confused kitchen. When our food was brought to us the food runner basically just held food up and asked who it was for. Again with the open kitchen we also saw the same bus boy running his hands through his hair, scratching his head all night then grabbing plates. We saw a server rolling silverware while watching tv on her tablet. When it came time for the check it took another 20 minutes. All in all it took us over two hours to eat!! And not one sorry or explanation. No reason why app orders were never even put in or checked on. No reason why food sat in window for so long despite several people standing around doing nothing. Truly not a good experience and poorly run. Only plus was tater tots were crispy. read more

Ordered appetizer which came out with meals. When food was delivered waitress dropped food off and never ask another question which we needed ranch for the cheese fries. I went and ask the manager for ranch which took a while for us to receive. After about 30 minutes of receiving the food the waitress came by to check on up, we ask for refills but did not see her again so we had to go to the bar to get our own drinks. Worst service I have had in a long time. Cheese fries were really good. read more

We had a great server and the food was tasty! It was definitely a novelty trip for our kids (ages 7-13) so it isn't somewhere we would do on a regular basis, but we would definitely visit again sometime in the future. read more
