Admittedly, I'm a wet blanket. A killjoy. Downright drag. But I liked this place. Main Event is not only more spacious than its competition, it offers more non-arcade game options, such as bowling, lunar golf and laser tag. (It has a nifty billiards setup as well.) Of course, there are also plenty of arcade games, although not as many as you might find at your average D&B or Chuck E Cheese's. The food here is blah, as was the table service during our Tuesday night visit. I don't expect gourmet fare at a fun house, and that's a good thing because everything pretty much came from a package or the freezer, and was promptly microwaved and plated before being brought to us by our less-than-attentive server. The alcohol situation is decent, albeit slightly pricey for the much-marketed frozen fruity froufrou stuff. It's a good thing I'm mostly a beer guy. And it's a really good thing that there are plenty of comfortable tables away from all of the action here because, as I mentioned, I just don't care too much for having fun. read more

I honestly do not understand WHY people come here. The only reason we cross the threshold of this entrance to Satan's house is because one of the girls has been invited to a birthday party. Everything about this place is just bad. So, I've been plant-based/vegan for a year and a half. I'm able to find something to eat at most places. I mean, I've found food to eat at a steakhouse! That's something. So with that mentality I came to this party at Main Event knowing that at best I could get a salad. Well, the hubby agreed to share a pizza with me, and I'm always up for a veggie pizza sans the cheese. Sigh. The girl at the counter, Crystal, was just plain rude. I can't say this enough. She. Was. Rude. When I said no cheese she looked at me like I was crazy (I'm used to this) and then just wrote me off. She didn't ask if I'd like drinks. She didn't offer a smile. She was pretty darn miserable and unpleasant. So costumer service is not important at Main Event. Anyway, back to the pizza. Y'all, this was legit the worst pizza I've had as a vegan in a year and a half. It was just a sad, sad state of affairs. There was almost no sauce in the middle of the pizza, and so few veggies it was almost funny. It didn't look good. It didn't taste good. And with 2 drinks this miserable plate of calories was a mere $30!!!! The last time I came here I was eating meat, and even then I was served raw shrimp. If you want to come here and bowl or play games or just see what the mouth of hell looks like, by all means enter at your own peril. But don't eat the food. Save yourself the misery. read more

I don't leave reviews but if I'm expected to pay the spruces they have I also expect the workers to treat me with a little dignity. The bartenders are the worst I've ever encountered and how in the world they were hired is beyond me. Not just rude but blatantly disrespectful. Worst place ever. read more

To Start off, we got sat in a corner and our waitress didn't come to our table till she passed us up MULTIPLE times. Ordered a tito's strawberry lemonade and it was brought to me as a regular without tito's. Ordered our food both got separate dishes. Mine was brought out COLD to the touch, and was expected to still eat it without a word said. Once we attempted to flag our waitress down multiple times, we decided to physically get up and bring the plate up to her and explain what the issue was. My plate was then remade and compt, due to it coming out cold (assuming it was sitting there cause no one was paying attention to the food for god knows how long) Then we asked for an ETA on our SMALL pizza, that was never brought out and our waitress didnt have any explanation to anything as to why everything was taking well over an hour to get resolved. We decided to remove the pizza as well and only paid for what we got/didn't have issues with. Waited ANOTHER 30 min to get our receipt, kept asking for a manager "tori or victoria whatever her name was. Manager glanced at us and didn't even speak to us or offer to help the waitress attempting to fix the ticket for the 3rd time. I understand there may have been a miscommunication or something with the runners but this is wayyyy past unacceptable. Hire more runners or have a better manager who can actually manage. ESPECIALLY with how small the location is. read more

Hate to complain since we've been long time weekly customers here but things at this location have gone so far downhill. Came in on Sunday, the only beverages they had available were, water, tea, and lemonade! (And they didn't have those the entire time either!) Some food options were also unavailable! You still can't use the karaoke room for karaoke! (I'm told because they still don't have the proper permitting) We did have some positive staff interactions but those members seemed extremely spread thin and we spoke to other members who were very unfriendly and unhelpful. We paid for the all you can play spring break bands but even after 4 hours there, we ended up not getting to bowl at all because the wait time was always so long even with open lanes. So in all we paid for unlimited laser tag and mini golf, very disappointing. You know it's bad when even your kids don't want to go back. We plan to try to go to the Bay Area raceway next time. I hope this location can turn things around. read more

This place is truly the "Ritz Carlton" of gaming centers! Spotless through-out! Hugh selection of games, all Working!. Multiple entertainment areas for all taste, Bowling, Pool, Arcade, Dining. Excellent! What puts this location over the top, into "Ritz" category. are the amazing staff members! Plenty of them, helpful and "see" problems as soon as they happen and react! We were very impressed! As grandparents of 4, we will certainly be back! Hat's off to this business! read more

Main Event Webster - Bowling Near Me - Webster, Texas

Bowling was very fun. Guy leading laser tag was rude but everyone has their off days I guess.

The service from the bar staff here is TRASH. They don't work, they talk and laugh and don't even acknowledge the customers waiting. One guy bought a beer and waited half hour for them to deliver it to him. Poor service they lazy as Hell. Only the bar, the food was good, just the servers don't know what tables ordered what just completely unorganized. Recommend going to humble might be better read more

My daughter went up there with friends tonight. She had a $50 gift card. The kids at the front kept swiping and then told her it didn't work. She then went to pay for food and was told there was no money on the card. After looking up the charges, they charged the card $36.30, $12.00, $1.70 and $1.70...I called up there 5 times and no one answered the freaking phone. I told her to have a supervisor call me back and I still sit here with no call and no resolution. She had to have a friend pay for her while $50 was charged to her card. I want my freaking money back. read more

Bad: when you go in with a party of 4 and they tell you "unlimited" activities and you say "hell yeah! I'll pay $80 for us 4 to bowl for 4 hours straight!!!" Minus 1 star = if you're bowling it's another $20 for shoes (hehehe you ***** sucking *****). Plus 1 star for the guy that volunteered to spray my daughters shoes with disinfectant and dry them. Plus 5 stars for the coolest waitress at a s**t establishment I've ever met. Excellent service throughout. My wife would've taken out a second mortgage out on our house for her to make sure her tip was worthy. Minus 4 stars for the lane to shut down in the middle of our second game on the first frame. WTF?! Minus 2 stars for the newbie that just told us "yeah, you lou get an hour at a time.. what do you expect? We have a wait?.." Minus 2 stars for the manager that sorta backed him up. Plus 5 stars for our friends that joined us and rode those MFers hard and got us all kinds of comps. Plus 3 stars for the all kinds of comps we got cuz of our friends riding those mfers hard (but also soft, between the two parties we spent $400). You do the math. I have tons of comps and probably will NEVER GO BACK. read more

This is the second time that we've been back and it will be the last. The service is extremely lacking. You prepay for pool tables, and can't get any assistance for bar service or food. The bartenders are extremely rude (can't even provide water to accompany the drinks ordered because they don't have the glasses) and the line is long. Playing pool for even and hour is extremely limited if you want to drink or eat as well, as your time is spent standing in line. The food service/bar service is poor while bowling as well. Don't even think about extending your time, it won't happen. The orders are completely skewed, if you can even get anyone to serve you. Tables are dirty and three parties prior to you's dishes are left behind with no clean up. The bathroom was atrocious, overflowing waste receptacles. Save your money. Find another spot, you will be sorely disappointed. read more

Disclaimer: This review is based mostly on a private event held here that closed to the public. With that being said, we have been to this location as a paying customer on a busy night and had a great time as well. Now back to the event. My wife's employer rented out the whole venue as part of an employee appreciation event. The venue was booked between 6pm and 12am. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by their very friendly staff who signed us in and gave us our card to play unlimited video games and gave us a map of their set up. They pointed us to the appetizers and to the different bar locations. We had free reign over the entire place. This included bowling, videos games, mini golf, laser tag, karaoke, and dance floor with a DJ. I was like a kid in a candy store! As far as the catered food, I was impressed by the quality of food we ate. It wasn't your typical bar food like I thought it would be. The passed appetizers were crab cakes and chicken satay which were both good. The main course was set up into two buffet stations. We started off with a caprese salad, arugula salad and grilled vegetables which was all super fresh. The main entrees was a carving station with pork loin and beef tenderloin, with sides of au gratin potatoes, portabella ravioli, spinach ricotta ravioli, green beans cornbread. All the food was on point and delicious. It didn't taste like your typical, cheap buffet food. The au gratin potatoes and cornbread were the fan favorites though. After dinner, we bowled and they set up a dessert bar and had tea and water stations everywhere as well as the bar and soda fountains. The desserts were different desert bars and cookies, but the standout dessert was donut holes with caramel and raspberry sauces. Amazing! I saw people with plates piled high with those and I can see why! I highly recommend this place for your corporate or team building events. Their staff was extremely friendly and their food was top notch. I'm guessing having guests over 21 only really had alot to do with the awesome experience as well lol! read more

When visiting main event with my two nephews and fiancé. A older gentleman decided he was privileged enough to be disrespectful to the staff and myself. He went out of his way to try and smash talk the bartender. When he walked up near me, he started messing with my nephews drinks. I responded by stating that the seat was taken but he felt like he had the right to move everything out of the way. He went on stating that the bartender wasn't doing her job that he has been waiting ages for his beer. He went on by making a big childish show. Just hearing him speak, I don't know how he couldn't have seen the other people around him waiting patiently for their orders as well. As I shake my head in disbelief and disgust. He decides to focus on myself and stand nearly a foot away from me and threatens me to shake my again. At that time he starts to boil over with anger and continues to threaten me some more. At this time a manger jump in between me and the guy, managing to bump my shoulder in order to come in between the guy. The manager goes on and stated that he had to leave the restaurant now. Few more minutes goes on the manager did not keep their word, the guy was still allowed to stay and drink some more, but this time he had his own personal server. As much as how nice the bartender was. No one should act out like that over a drink or threatens other guest . I'm giving a one star rating due to safety guidelines. If you see a guest disrespecting your staff and surrounding guest a manager should keep their word if they tell someone that they are no longer allowed on premises and must leave. I guess that is what this world has come to. The guest is not always right and staff members should not always baby and be polite to rude, ugly, disrespectful people. read more

I had so much fun at Main Event!! This location has mini golf, full restaurant/bar, bowling, and so many arcade games! The tropical margarita here was delicious. The service at the womens restroom was filthy. Despite being the only people seated at the bar, the service was slow. However, every staff member was extremely friendly and helpful. read more

Horrible food 100 dollars for a card bad service didn't help you with anything don't recommend this place don't go here

We have been here a few times to try the bowling, pool, and food out. To say this place is lacking is an understatement. Everyone that works here looks like they just lost their dog and have no home to go back to. Ordering food, drinks, and getting reservations for alleys and pool tables is considered an inconvenience for the staff. They all look put out and angry when these situations are placed in their lap, the audacity that they actually have to do their job, right??? We will be going to a pool hall and bowling alley to support local businesses after these last two incidents. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, I dunno, guess we stop going ha. read more

Went for a birthday party and it was my first time buying food here. I got the bacon burger and let me tell you..... everyone that order that burger got sick. My stomach still hurts a day after and been going to the restroom non stop... it takes a lot for my stomach to get upset so I can only imagine what was wrong with the food... other than that the host was super attentive and nice. The restrooms... disgusting rest of the place seemed decent. read more

A few friends and I went to bowl and have fun. When we went to the dining room to eat, we saw multiple signs saying "please see the host to be seated." We stood there waiting for a table for about 15 minutes. Then, when a waiter finally noticed us, he passive aggressively said "if you want to eat sit at a booth." We proceed to wait another 15 more minutes for service then finally got up and left. There were also no clean tables and the floor was sticky. We ended up going to the cafe and the food was bland and greasy. Wouldn't recommend. While I understand it is mostly a bunch of teenagers working here, they need to have a professional manner and attitude when at work and especially speaking to customers, teenager or not. And we also went to get ice cream and the ice cream tasted funny. read more

Our waitress we had to hunt down every time we wanted something. Last call is 50 min before close and bar closes 5 min later. They do not let customers know this when entering 1.5 hours before close. The general manager just said yep that is what we do. Customer service is definitely not something in their training manual. read more

I know the help here is young but it's no excuse for the sloppy lack of customer service! We arrived to bowl and quickly hit "B" on the console for service. After 15 minutes, we had to ask someone and she replied that she would "find someone". That never happened. I ended up going up to the bar to order, but one bartender was serving tons of people and it was another long line! Finally, she showed up took the order and we got the food 20 mins later. She disappeared. Only reappeared to drop off the check. She left the dirty plates, didn't ask about refills. She only came back to take my card and that's it. Sucky! read more

We came here with a group of 9 after dinner to show the nieces and nephews a good time before they left town. We only had about 1.5 hours so we decided on bowling. For a weeknight, they charged us a "peak hour" rate, even though it was a Wednesday and the place was sort of DEAD. It was unlimited bowling for an hour for $29 per lane. We took up two lanes with 7 people (parents didn't bowl) bowling and were only able to play one game! So much for "unlimited". We all bowled pretty quickly too, no standing around talking. I'd imagine you can get 2-3 games in per lane per hour if you just have 2 people in a lane. There were no waitresses to come around and ask our group if we wanted any drinks or a bite to eat, so I found the snack bar near the far north end of the place. Although I did see a waitress from the nearby bar come to offer service to another group. Their shoe rental pricing is a gimmick because although we had 4 adults and 3 kids, they charge adult pricing for kids shoes over a size 4. Well.....the problem is most kids with a shoe size smaller than a 4 are probably too young to even bowl in the first place. So we were charged for 6 adults and 1 kid. I think they need to fix this policy. read more

I just want to preface this by saying I'm not blaming my server. He had a whole section by himself. It took 30 minutes to get my drink order taken then another 15 before I even got the drinks. When the drinks were delivered I said we were ready to order and he said he'd be back to get my order. 20 minutes later he came back to get my order. We ordered several appetizers and they took 40 minutes to coMe out. Our chips and queso NEVER came out and I eventually went and told him to cancel the chips and queso because we were done. The only reason we didn't leave is because the kids were having fun in the arcade. I'm a very understanding and patient person but this was honestly a shit show. Lol I felt bad for our server. I asked for our check about 10 min ago. I wonder how long that will take... read more

Not that fun, too many children running around like this is some type of Chuck E. Cheese. Kids screaming for their mommmmmmmmmmmmmies!! This place is expensive too. Food is pricey, and Bowling is extremely on the high end. This place is mostly for teenagers, children, and parents with kids. Don't think you wanna try and come with the mature crowd because you will be disgusted away. Restrooms are clean though, and the Laser tag was fun though we did play against some whiny children. Sigh! I think bowling alone cost me $14, and shoes was separately or it was one ball, shoes, one game for $14 which isn't that worth it. I know bowling trust me I was on my high school bowling team for 3 years, and played in tournaments. Main Event is too money hungry, and most of the time they love to rip you off without you even knowing. I won't be visiting this high priced alley again. read more

I went here for the first time and was hoping for the best but got the crappiest experience. Eek! The photos that are posted with the venue on Yelp are FAR from what you will experience here. The bowling shoes looked like dogs ripped them to shreds and they smelled like a maniac. We ordered cheese fries with bacon bits, a burger, a personal cheese pizza and several drinks...... needless to say - nothing impressed me. Stuff was cold, the cheese looked nasty. The drinks were horrible! It's not like I'm expecting 5 star service at this place - but GEEZ. At least the waitress was nice! .... but that won't make me come back again. I'll be headed to Dave and Busters if I want to go to an establishment like this. read more

The food is ok, a bit pricy given the quality. The service is super slow and poor, would not recommend. Sat at the tables and the wait staff was on their phones, talking to each-other and saw when we tried to call them over but looked away. Saw our waiter only twice, once when took who took our order and when he collected our bill. Only go if you want to bowl and play arcade games. Waited for 40 minutes at an empty bar to pay a tab. read more

Always expect a crowd. That's a gimme so make sure you plan enough time to wait 2 hours for the bowling lane and then the hour it takes to play. There is a lot to do for the kids and the adults can act like kids. Reason for the 2 stars off is the service. You order from the menu at the tablet on the table. It took over 30 minutes for drinks. The staff is also not friendly or helpful when the arcade games malfunction which happens often. read more

Came here for a friend's birthday party. It's your typical Main Event. There's bowling, laser tag, and a bunch of arcade-type games. Most of the people who work there look like teenagers, so you might get the occasional angsty one serving you. Overall, I didn't have any issues with the service. Not stellar, but not bad. Same goes for pretty much everything else here. read more

Note: only played pool The area was crowded and is very family friendly, but as you can imagine many kids were running around. The staff was really busy and the layout isn't exactly intuitive to a non-regular. Staff also isn't the most helpful as they just guide you around in circles (this included a staff member that wasn't the busiest like all the others that were running around like a chicken with their head cut off). Parking shouldn't give you too much grief as this is has a rather large parking lot, just be wary of kids and lack of stop signs within it. read more

This place is cool to bring older kids, but for the arcade part it's not worth it, your going to spend a lot of money at the re-charge station. I will only take my children there after 4pm on Mondays. That's when they offer unlimited arcade, you might not get the prize points but the kid's can enjoy almost everything they have to offer. A downside is that they charge extra for bowling shoes, they aren't included in any plan read more

I can not say enough about the place itself--or the staff!!! As a family of 6, we got stranded because of a cancelled flight. We were looking how to kill time for 7 hours, and landed on Main Event. Our biggest problem was our seven suitcases we had. All of the staff was super helpful, but Josh came right to our aid! He figured out a remote place we could keep our bags stashed so we wouldn't need to lug them around with us. He also helped us figure out the best and most affordable way to spend our many hours of fun. My kids (7-15) are having the time of their lives with so many places to spend their time. This place is spotless clean, has tons of great stuff to do, and has an incredibly nice staff. I am SO happy to have come...and would give it ten stars! And to think--we almost went to NASA! read more

Thanks to my Yelp friend, Justin T., and the responses from a Main Event rep to Yelp reviews, we decided to come in and give this place a shot on a Friday night. We are celebrating my husband getting a new, better job! From reading other reviews and looking around to see it was already pretty crowded, we decided to get the New Food & Fun Combo for $32.95, which means you can order 1 of 8 meals and get a $30 FUNcard so we can try all the video games. That way we won't have to wait in line to bowl or play pool. We'll try those things on a less busy night. Izzy is our server and so far, so good. He took our order by memory so if it comes to us with no mistakes, I'm going to be uber impressed as there are a lot of distractions here. More later, our drinks just arrived - all correct! Here is the more....So, our little family of 4 had a great time. Our server was good and our orders came out good, other than no blue cheese on the Cobb salad, which our server fixed right away. And they don't carry malted vinegar, which is kind of strange for a place that serves bar food. We enjoyed our meals and drinks. And had fun playing the video and other games (all worked, no issues). I like that all the ticket info is kept electronically on the cards and that you can easily check the balance in the store. Because I believe Main Event management is trying to improve, I was paying close attention to staffing issues. A huge one that I noticed is the lack of effective supervision and/or inefficient staffing assignments. The were 2 young ladies at the pool equipment check out desk who were visiting the entire time we sat in our booth for dinner, I'd say a good 45 minutes, and I only noticed one person - one - go to them to return a pool cue. After our server couldn't find more than 2 sets of napkin wrapped silverware for us after he delivered our food (um, yeah, 4 meals so short 2 sets), I found it really annoying that these gals weren't asked to help wrap silverware so customers could actually eat their food. So I asked Izzy what their job was and he explained. I then noticed he went over and talked to a guy, who then took the 2 gals into the storage room out of view. When they came out, 1 stayed at the desk while the other went to talk to a gal who was dressed more professionally at the bar but who had a name tag so I assumed she was a supervisor. A little while later that gal came to take a small load of used dishes away from the table across from us that had been dirty the entire time we were there......and then went right back to the desk and visited some more. That is someone who just doesn't care about providing good customer service, doesn't see her part in the team trying to provide a good service experience and will only do good work if a supervisor is constantly directing her. I'm sure there is high turnover in this industry but I did notice a stand out employee! Alyssa was running Winners Choice all by herself (this is where the 2nd pool clerk should have been assigned, IMO, even if it was just coming through every half hour to restock, clean up the mess, take out the trash). Alyssa was calm, efficient, moving as quickly as possible and really knew the inventory, pricing and how to get the job of checking people out done quickly. I waited in a huge line so had plenty of time to observe what was going on. It seems like some staff just run back and forth with no clear purpose and, even though they'd look in the shop and see the line, mess and chaos, they just looked the other way and kept walking). No one came to help Alyssa the entire time we were in the shop, mostly spent waiting in line, probably 20 minutes or so. A gal in the same uniform came in at one point but seemed to be helping only those that were in a private party group because she opened the 2nd register and everyone in that group was served and then she logged off the register and left. Kudos to Alyssa for trying but boo to whoever oversees this area. Alyssa is likely to move on to greener pastures if she isn't provided proper support soon. We'll come back again as, for the most part, we had a good and fun experience. read more

Broken, broken, broken! The teenage (poorly trained) attendants cared less. Only 2 stalls out of probably 6 were in service in the women's restroom. My nephew was being threatened with eviction from laser tag for crouching as i was being verbally assaulted next to her by an 8 year old. No mention of anti crouching in the rule, but there were about the cussing. Fail all around. Will no longer have my patronage. read more

Had an event here for about 40ish people. It went perfectly. They were extremely flexible with us and willing to accommodate in pretty much every way. They had attendants that waited on us and were always available and willing to help. They were also very patient with us, as a group. Bowling was great. Laser Tag was great. The arcades were fun. Private room was perfect. Being able to eat at the alley was great. Appetizers were all very good. Food was fine. And it was all very affordable. We had the Fun Zone group deal, which was $29.95/person for all you can eat Buffett, 2 hours of bowling, 2 laser tag games, and $10 each in arcade money. Great deal and great time. I will definitely work with Main Event for for future events. read more

Dirty place, terrible food, had terrible headaches and stomach aches for hours made me throw up at friends bday party

This place mostly reminds me of a Dave & Busters, but with more! We started out in a party room and got catered fajitas. The food was good and plentiful. Not the best fajitas, but definitely satisfied a craving. They have good service and to-go containers to take the certain leftovers. We bowled after that. Lanes are roomy enough but we had a large group and the game can take some time. They have cool animations to keep you entertained. Full service at the lanes, but that can be a bit slow if it's busy. Arcade games are typical, though a little expensive. There wasn't too big a crowd, even on a Saturday night, so we didn't have to wait. Laser tag is where it's at. How have I not known about this? I started off with a broken gun so I couldn't see what I was doing. The layout is good and has plenty of spaces to run around and hide. Be prepared to sweat. The putt putt isn't too hard, but being set in space makes for a interesting atmosphere. They open till 2am on Saturday, so swing by late if you feel like shooting things or going for a round of golf. read more
