Visited this location for the first time. I was thrown off by the associates standing near the front entrance. They didn't speak or offer any assistance. They were just in the way. Be careful not to confuse the games and activities pricing. It's easy to do. To me, games are activities. We didn't eat any food and place was clean. read more

Came here for a work team building bowling day. We all absolutely had a blast and enjoyed the drinks and service, and of course the bowling. I had a frozen margarita that was surprisingly good! I was not expecting that from a bowling alley. I will definitely be back and want to also do arcade games as we ran out of time. read more

Main Event Tomball - Arcades Near Me - Tomball, Texas

My daughter school was having a stay in, the security at the door helped her figure out where to go. They did a really good job taking care of all the kids read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 . read more

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. read more

My family really likes this place. Arcade, bowling, laser tag, food, etc.. Great for days when the weather is tough and you need to get out of the house. Also great for birthday parties. Prices are reasonable. Not pricy, not cheap. Just never felt like i overpaid for anything. The staff and management is also very friendly and attentive. 5. read more

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! read more

Jocelyn and AJ were sweet and very helpful! I see that they updated the menu. It's pretty good!

Came here recently for my grandson's birthday celebration. So much fun! The array of games and activities here is truly next level. As soon as we walked in, I was nearly overwhelmed by the selection here - imagine what a child's impression must be! Staff was very friendly and accommodating. We were seated at a large table near the bar (although we didn't order alcoholic beverages). Drinks that were ordered came out quickly, along with the ordered appetizers: spinach artichoke dip with tortilla chips and hot pretzels with several dips. The artichoke dip was really good. Pizza for lunch was actually not bad, either. Games and activities here were enjoyed by all that participated, and there is certainly something for everyone here (although you must be a certain height for laser tag). A definite hit for the kids. Establishment is clean, including the restrooms. Lit enough for us "older folks" to see while still illuminating the correct amount of light for those enjoying the huge video games. A great place to play - for young and old alike. read more

This was my first visit to this location and I thought it was pretty huge & spacious. I like the variety of games that they offered here. If there were any problems with the games, it was not hard finding a staff to assist us. We also ate at their restaurant and the food was like usual. I did enjoy their shirley temple drink. Overall we had a fun time. read more

The bowling, and laser tag were fun. I love the atmosphere, and I would have given 5 stars until we went to the restaurant. We didn't eat because the hostess couldn't get the server to come seat us. Main Event lost out on money due to poor customer service. I would go back again, but, I will eat first. read more

My daughter's middle school had an activity here and figured we all should have a family outing while we are at it. We loaded a card (which we had to pay $3 for!) and played away. $100 seem to last you a while and we had a blast, some games are just repetitive but the real highlight here is the food... Yes, the food!! We ordered a couple of drinks at the bar, it was good and their pricing isn't ridiculous, after playing and looking at the prices of the menu, they were reasonable for some "average food" right.... WRONG! Their chicken strips were so deliciously breaded, idk if they were hand battered but seems like they were, their fries were perfectly fried which seems like not many places know how to fry them and season them properly in a lot of places but Main event did it! Their burger, now that is so perfectly juicy. Again, surprised on how delicious and tasty it was along with its fresh ingredients since we were not expecting that a a family fun arcade place. Next time I probably won't load a $100 play card for two, maybe $50 but I am definitely coming back for the food! Great place for a fun dinner date! read more

I went with my company for a team building evening (about 20+ associates). When it was time to split the bill I was very clear with the server about what was on the receipt. The screen did not have a breakdown of charges and seemed higher than I thought. I repeated what I purchased and she said yes that was all I was charged for. The tip was preselected which I assumed at the time was due to the size of the party. I asked that the receipt be text to me. When I got home I checked the receipt and realized I was overcharged for drinks I did not order. After sharing my story with my peers, I found out that several of them were also overcharged. I filled out the survey and received a call back the next day from a manager. I was told I'd be refunded the drinks I was overcharged plus the tip, and receive a confirmation text. No text came. Tried calling back but got voicemail and no one returned my call. The manager also said to tell my coworkers to call in and they would be refunded. They were not contacted back. I only asked to refunded for what I was overcharged plus the tip, because who tips someone who purposely overcharges you. I repeated to her what I purchased and she assured me that was all I was charged for. I don't need the money, but it's the principle. Don't try and take advantage of people who are ordering in a large group because you think they won't notice the padded charges. We will make sure to take our company team building nights to another place from now on. read more

Angelica and Becky were very helpful & the food was great! My brother and I had an amazing time !

Main event is great! They have phenomenal management, a youthful and ambitious employees. Conner and Juan created the Astros shot and it's delicious. The bowling is funny only reservation I have is the the fact that I bowl more seriously than most. That being said the pins are tied to strings and bounce around knocking other pens down once they are hit. A tad bit annoying but other than that they have arcade games, lazer tags, adults only bar and tons of food options, beautiful ambiance! Highly recommend read more

My thing is good customer service and the ease of getting in and out of a place like this with two small kids who want to go bonkers. This is the place for that. The bowling lanes are fun and you can usually find some coupons on their website. The control panel is easy to operate so you can have gutter guards on and off depending on the person and they have the little bowling ball ramps for the kids who can't bowl to form yet. The wait staff is polite and the food has always been delicious. Then after bowling we go and play the games on the floor. The interactive screen room with the bounce balls is very cool and so much fun for the kids. I will load them up each a game card so they can go play and acquire points and by the time they're done the games give out a decent amount of points for them to go into the prize store and pick out prizes. There is some good stuff in there to choose from but some of the better items have a higher point cost. I have to tell them "you dont have enough points for that... you can save your points and add more for next time to get it" but they always want immediate gratification so they choose of bunch of small things. They always come out with a pretty good sized bag of prizes after each visit. It's fun to see them having so much fun and every weekend they say "Let's go to Main Event!" They have good games selection on the floor and the food is good. Staff has always been nice. Good times here no complaints easy in and easy out for a couple hours of fun. read more

My daughter kept harassing me to go to main event so I found some time to take care. Upon entering the staff was very welcoming. He gave me a quick tour of the facility and go me set up with a game card. Great place to take the kids to burn some energy! read more

Fun place to take grandkids. Pizza buffet is solid. Also can provide gluten free options on request. Have Senior discount too!

Super clean, extremely nice! Ensure to make reservations! Adults can brunch and dine in the bar area! Safe environment! Restrooms are cleaned headed to toe! Games are all brand new! Love this location! Kids will have a great time here!!! Food is good too, pizza seems to be a hit! Spend your coins and laugh a little! read more

Had my daughter's birthday party here...they told us to be there 30 minutes prior to the start of the event to set up...we got there and the table was not available for set up! It took a good 40 minutes before the table was available...we order pizza and chicken nuggets and sliders and the food was cold not even warm! We paid for 10 kids to play the laser tag and they made a bid deal because my wife told them we didn't have everyone ready to play and were saying that if everyone is not there on time then we would lose our turn...I would not recommend this place for parties! Especially when you have kids running the party instead of a responsible adult. read more

Bowling on a Monday morning with the grandkids was a blast. kid focused. Arcade was good. Service friendly but felt maybe low staffed on Mondays. Food was bad, Suggest going elsewhere to eat lunch. Otherwise, it was a great day with the kiddos. read more

An honest mistake or not? Be leery of eating in the restaurant. Be sure and get a receipt. The waiter attempted to charge me 50% tip on a $22 tab. He wouldn't show me the hand held device used to run the charge. When done he said it didn't have the ability to print a receipt. I asked for the receipt a different way, text, email? He said he that he supposed that he could send a text. When I received the text I saw that $11 tip on a $22 tab. I protested to him and the manager to have it voided and corrected and the manager said that he couldn't void it because it hadn't posted yet however he adjusted that total and to let him run my credit card again at the new total. I was like am I a fool you want to now charge my twice after charging me double. He assured me that the original $34 charge would not post. Well.... It did. I'm looking at two charges a $34 and a $27 for what should have been a $27 charge and now in a dispute with my credit card company, luckily I screen shot the text tab that was sent. I can't prove the dishonest behaviors intent here but I can warn you. GET A RECEIPT. Inspect it. Check it later when your credit card posts. It was the posturing, how they said what they said, the huddle meeting, and the end result. It's the read of the situation. Trust me. It's not that someone was new. Or they misheard. I truly believe from manager to employee, this is a practice. At the very least. Thinking of booking a birthday party here? Check your receipt. For your sake and your guests, warn them not to get rolled. It could have been a series of honest mistakes and bad technologies. For that I apologize if it was. My hunch says otherwise. As a follow up edit. I spoke with the manager today and they did do a refund. She didn't excuse it away. Very friendly. I would go back for other events. ...And get a receipt. read more

Horrible customer service, I booked online and cancelled 72 hours before the scheduled event and they still kept my money. The lie about refunding the money back even thought the website states you can cancel 24 hours before the event scheduled. read more

Took the kids to Main Event in Tomball this evening. We started with dinner and the pizza was great. Our waitress Barbara was very nice, courteous and helpful. She let us know about the kids eat free with adult meal on Tuesdays so that was greatly appreciated. All the games were working and everything was very clean. Special shout out to Connor who helped my son. Thanks for making it right. We will be back soon. read more

Met a couple of friends here Saturday afternoon for a round of bowling. Saturday is birthday party celebration time literally all day so I was expecting the place to be over crowded and miserable. I was pleasantly mistaken! The bowling ally was busy but we had zero wait time and were seated right away and given our chosen shoe size. The lights and atmosphere were desirable and fun, nothing over the top or annoying, and that is a huge deal for me. The score board control is pretty fun to play with while waiting for the others to take their turns, I was taking selfies with it and they were shown up on the big screen in front of our game. The entire game from start to finish went on without any problems, I appreciate that. There is a waitress that comes to your table to get food and drink orders, very convenient. After bowling we walked around and played some games but I gotta say it was more fun for me to watch others playing and having a good time. Other than how ridiculous the cost of everything is, this is a cool place to waste time and money. read more

You spend hundreds of dollars at this place and they can't even make an exception to allow a 17 year old in the VIP for bowling. . Practically an adult. Management and staff were not friendly or helpful. Definitely not coming back nor recommending to anyone. read more

Had a good time but why do your employees look so sad? I know it's work, but I don't go to my boring job looking like I was at a funeral. Had fun but couldn't help noticing they looked like they were unhappy. Do a team building event or something. Hand out some gift cards if they get a compliment from a customer to boost the morale. If that doesn't work hire better employees. I see another reviewer says the same thing. Actually more than one. Pizza was pretty good. Sodas were flat and only had yucky Pepsi. read more

Had diner at Main Event on a Saturday night. It wasn't too busy which was nice when there's no wait time.Service was wonderful. Our waiter Alexis was very attentive, polite and helpful. His recommendation were great. We enjoyed the cocktails he suggested and the foot was good. Since we only did the restaurant we can't comment on the rest. read more

This place is great! We scoped out the place since we were out and about for my sister's birthday. It is a little smaller than the other Main Events in the Houston area, but definitely a great place to have fun with different games I've never heard of or seen. The greeter, Richard, was awesome! He was welcoming, very helpful, and overall a funny guy. I don't think a worker, anywhere, has ever made me laugh that hard! Even while we were just walking around the area, he would come up to us, and check in to see how we were liking the place. Very goofy and personable personality! He was nice enough to walk us out to our car, and he did a little goodbye dance as we entered our car . I definitely look forward to coming back here because of our experience with him! 1000/10 recommend. read more

Expensive food, fun bowling, great service!! The manager came to check on us a couple of times, Kylie, and our server Alyssa was very sweet :) read more

Overall expensive, I guess what could you expect going to activity centers these days. 100$ lasted about 1.5 hours on machines, some did not work and were not marked not working so they take your credits. Mondays they have unlimited bowling specials so that is nice but the service to get food while bowling is slow! The food is ok, nothing to brag about. Prices were ok, same thing spend 100$ to get 1.5 hours of play on machines then "win" a 6$ stuffed animal from china. read more

Says they close at 2 am. For some reason they are closing at 10 on a Friday 5/13/2023. Yeah this place is trash! False advertising!

We went there with at least 15 teens from our soccer club and 10 thirst adults. We went directly to the restaurant and although very nice the host was clearly overwhelmed. They appeared to be short staffed as well. However our server Blake was great! He ran his back end off and was very nice and accommodating. He handed our three tables with ease and made sure we all had what we needed. Blake is awesome and they are lucky to have him. read more

Our overall experience for the birthday party at Main Event is good. Both party host and her assistants are great with kids and good at their job. There is a problem we would like to address: Service Fee 12% - the wording of it indicates or suggests this is a fee on services provided by people, similar to tip; but it is not! This fee goes to the facility - Main Event. I found that hard to believe. Isn't the cost (of 300 dollars party package) goes to Main Event for experiences at their facility?... I believe the Service Fee should be given to the servers for the services they provided; and customers have option to tip extra for job well done. read more
