What do guests say about cleanliness and safety?
-
We decided to go to Chuck E. Cheese on a whim. My son begged to go because he had never been before. Instead of going to a restaurant we were originally intending on going for lunch. We pulled in to Chuck E. Cheese. This location was so incredibly clean. All of the games were working in proper order. The employees were great and helpful. Our pizza was very fresh. My preteens were pretty impressed by the food. It was definitely a fun lunch date and they are asking to go back.

Everyone was very nice and helpful to myself and my children in all of our needs. We had such a wonderful time while at the restaurant that I know I will be bringing my children back frequently to play and eat.

I went to Chuck E Cheese and they had a new play area that my grandson loved. He stayed there until they closed the area for the night. Most of the parents were leaving with crying babies. Those kids did not want to leave.
