    Food was pretty good. Wasn't expecting much from an arcade but was pleasantly surprised. The drinks were good as well. Service was quick, zero complaints. I think the bartender Grant was great. They were out of the cotton candy Shirley Temple so he whipped up something fun that my daughter enjoyed. The arcade was fun. Unfortunately no Konami/DDR games which was what we were looking forward to the most. Still had fun. My daughter loved the place so we'll likely return! Great family fun or date nite.

    Went to Main Event to bowl. This place was super busy. I did not expect it to be this busy since the weather was terrible. We went on a Saturday afternoon/evening. There were kids everywhere, but I was told that they do have after hours events were only 21 years or older are allowed. That would have been more ideal, but we did not know. We went to go bowling. There was about a two hour wait for bowling, which was crazy. But after we signed up and paid on the kiosk, it only took about maybe 45/50 minutes. The staff wasn't really helpful. Every time we ask questions they just advised us to use the kiosk , the answer for everything was used the kiosk. Kiosk really are taken over. While we waited for our lane to become available, we went to the bar and the lady at the bar was overwhelmed. We wanted to sit at the bar, but the bar itself was a mess since it was just her she didn't have time to clean it so we ended up sitting at a table. We got drinks and mozzarella sticks. I had got some kind of slush. It was really good and the mozzarella sticks were exceptional. After drinks, we went bowling, bowling was a whole lot of fun. Everything was already set up when we walked over because when you do it on the kiosk, it already asks you to enter in your names. The bowling shoes are actually really nice. They didn't look worn out, they didn't smell. Would definitely go back for an after hours event.

    Margarita flight

    Such an awesome idea having our work Christmas party here! So much to do from arcade games, bowling, laser tag, pool and I'm sure there was more I missed. Food or drinks did not skimp on portions or flavor. The margarita flight was SO WORTH IT!!! Every flavor was right up my alley. The service stayed on top of everything. Definitely great coming here during the day on weekdays because I see the parking lots are packed during the weekends.

    This place has okay food but the games are expensive in my opinion. We have been multiple times and I have never seen an employee wipe down the games .

    Great place to have good clean fun. Lots of bowling lanes, arcade games and decent laser tag. They also have pool tables and air hockey games. Not a cheap experience. However the family and I love the time we have together. Would encourage you to check out the Kids Bowl Free program. Ample parking. Friendly staff. Note my rating system: 1 Star: I wouldn't recommend 2 Stars: Didn't hit my standards 3 Stars: Average (nothing special) 4 Stars: Above Average. Would recommend. Still looking for the 5 Star. 5 Stars: Top of their game. Great food. Great service. Would recommend and plan on returning.

    Pepperoni pizza

    Had a great time here to celebrate my sons birthday. I was late in planning his party so we came up early on a Saturday to get a table in the restaurant. Lots of table options from High tops to low tops and booths and bar top. The waiter we had was very nice and tended to us great. Checked in on us a lot. Ordered two large pizzas for the table and they were delicious! The crust was amazing and the pepperoni was ughhhh soooo good!!! I would come here just for the pizza. Main event came out with new wrist bands for $25/each with unlimited laser tag, bowling, and billiards and then we got the kids game cards for the games. The kids kept themselves very busy. The only reason I give the 4 stars is because when you go to purchase the cards for the games and the wrist bands, it's a little confusing navigating what's all included, there should be a little more detail in the descriptions. I still had to ask what was included on certain thing a. Needless to say there was a man close by that you could ask questions too. Just when it gets so busy, could be hard to find someone to help with questions. Overall great experience and well be back for some food and games!

The sports bar had R&B playing moderately loud (but no issues carrying on a conversation). I can only imagine the vibe may be different with larger crowds in the evenings/weekends. The menu is a QR code on the table. They have a large outside covered patio. Lots of TV's inside & outside. The salmon salad was very good. The salmon was cooked just right & very well seasoned. Nice size, generous amount of toppings (eggs, tomatoes, onions) such that I had toppings in every bite with my lettuce. The entire salad, dusted with a cajun seasoning, was a nice touch. Food was served in a metal plate with plasticware & plastic cups. (I'm sure the 'plastic' is helpful for managing the outside dining.) Chef Dee came out to check on us. She saw me taking a picture of my food & playfully said 'hey you gotta take a pic of the chef who created it'. Of course I took her pic!! Based on my salmon salad, I would definitely try other items on the menu if ever in the area again. Try them out. If you don't prefer a crowd, pop in for lunch.

The hot dogs would make my rating a 4 but the cake slice + cake shake bumps my review up to a solid 5! I wasn't expecting the shake to be that good -- it was loaded with pieces of cake in every sip. The chocolate cake itself was moist, airy, and rich without being overly sweet. It had the perfect balance between cake and frosting. I'll definitely be back and making this a regular treat.

I know. "Fine dining" and burgers? But that's what I wanted. I searched the web and found the Chefs Table in Vintage Park, and it wasn't too far from us here in The Woodlands, so we decided to make reservations and head there. From the moment we entered, we were treated like special guests. The ambiance is rich, but not overdone or stuffy. Simply classic and relaxing. Our booth felt private and unhindered by conversations of nearby diners or wait staff bustling past. Our cocktails were perfect. The calimari we ordered as an appetizer was probably the most tender and delicious either of us have ever had. And when our burgers arrived, I was so happy. It was exactly what I had set my mind on when selecting my birthday dinner experience. The blend of brisket and chuck was absolutely delicious, set atop a perfectly buttered toasted bun, with some crispy onion straws on top. And the fries... oh my! I rarely if ever eat fried food - so clearly this was my big day to completely go off my standard fare, but those fries had the perfect crunch and flavor. Apparently, when my husband made our resv, he told them it was my birthday, so our server brought out a delightful complimentary spiced cake dessert after we were finished eating - for us to share. It was the perfect finish to an already amazing meal. Thank you to the entire staff at The Chefs Table yesterday, for helping to create a memorable and delicious birthday feast for my husband and me. We will definitely be back to try some other delights because the menu is packed full of amazing looking dishes.

Some when it's not busy and some when it's very busy around happy hour. Their hh is from 3-6 daily where they have $2 off shots and cocktails. I've tried a few menu items too. This latest visit I tried the 8pc buffalo wings. Many bars have wings, and they should be at least edible if not awesome. I know Texas isn't Anchor Bar in Buffalo, but good wings are not hard to pull off for most bars. I chose the gochujang wings since they were recommended and turns out they are really good. I didn't ask for the celery and carrots, which they charge more for, but they gave them to me anyway. They were playing mostly reggae music during my latest visit. The service was fairly friendly, however, on one occasion the bartender was more concerned taking care of things at one end of the bar and rarely came to the other end where I was sitting. This was during a slow period, so she had no excuse to almost ignore me. Their menu is misleading with a couple of items. For example, the chicken wings. They display 4 prices, the top 2 prices for wings alone, and bottom are for wings served with celery, carrots and a dipping sauce, at least so I thought. Turns out I was wrong and the top 2 prices are not prices. It's actually 8 wings for 14 and 12 wings for 20. This is a very strange way and they should fix their menu since the waitress said many people have questioned this when it came time to pay their bill. I wanted to love this bar since Caddyshack is one of my favorite all time movies, but I just haven't had a great cocktails there yet and service has been spotty.

It was late and it was my first time so I panicked trying to figure out the menu which is really not complicated but being that it was late and I was hangry my brain made it complicated. Eukaury, the cashier, was so patient and understanding! She did her best to explain this simple menu and then suggested the single slider option and making it a biggie smalls because that's definitely where my eyes went... 90's girl's definitely want a BIGGIE SMALLS!!! Ended up with my one biggie smalls slider, fries (they only have 1 size of fries) and water. All for around $6 which is a steak and they 1 slider was enough to cure my hunger and it was really good! It could have used a few more pickle slices but overall I was impressed. Bread is not soggy or overpowered by the meat and cheese. Meat actually tastes like beef and the smauce (their signature sauce) is smaucing! Almost tastes like the Big Mac sauce but bigger chunks of pickles. The waffle fries were crispy and flavorful. I believe they have a breading to them which threw it off for me since I like a good plain potato fry but my husband devoured them. Overall, the cutest little fast food restaurant. No inside dining but a good outdoor dining area if you want to just sit and hang. Love the whole sliding theme. They even thank you for sliding through with great service!

Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. I visited on a slow Saturday afternoon and used the walk-up window, where I had to knock repeatedly just to be acknowledged by staff who were clearly visible inside. I ordered a Kids Meal (slider, fries, soda), and the $7.03 price already felt steep for the size. The wait time was frustratingly long for such a simple order. After 10+ minutes, and after another couple who ordered after me had already received their food, I had to knock and wait again for roughly three minutes. Employees looked at me but willfully chose not to acknowledge me until I finally got attention. It was clear the staff had forgotten my order and there was no apology for the delay. When the food finally came, the portions were tiny: an anemic slider, maybe five waffle fries, and a small soda. The value for $7.03 was simply not there. While the facility looks great, the neglectful service and poor food value mean I won't be returning or recommending this location. Pros: Cool building, clean environment. Cons: Slow/neglectful service, poor food-to-price value, tiny portions.
