Absolutely poor experience. Don’t go on a weeknight, waited over an hour for our food. Then asked for assistance getting a physical card and digital card linked. I was told by one person that’s not my problem go to the front or back and ask them! Then at the back was told only a Manager can help but that no one is answering on the radio. She then told me to go to the bar and see if they can help. At the bar the bartender was nowhere to be found. Finally asked our waitress she said she would get the manager. 10 minutes later she informed me the manager is stuck in the kitchen and will try and get out to get it taken care of! Must not have any staff during the week

Its a great place to bring the kids in the winter. They have a good winter special and lots of games to keep them busy. For adults not so much. The food is rarely hot and just is meh. Just try to eat before you come. I also feel like they should close off and soundproof a room with some comfortable chairs for the parents. I know I would come more often and stay longer. There is not great places to relax while the kids play.

We brought our toddler here for dinner and they sat us at a high top table without a kids seat. When I asked for a high chair there was a foot difference between the table and the chair. How is she supposed to eat? We had to push our chairs together and hold our kid while we ate because they were not accommodating. Not a great impression for a "family-friendly" establishment. Update: they switched us to a lower table last night but left us WITHOUT a server. We had to walk around to find someone to get our drinks, boxes and check when we finished. The food was gross, the pop was warm and the kids pizza was extra burnt. We will not return.

Well,when a roach comes running in front of you , it kind of sets the mood for not wanting to eat anything. Plus the drinks, we're not good at all.That would be adult drinks. 2 different drinks, neither one of them.Full the first one was wrong. Mean how can you mess up a screwdriver especially when you tell him what it is. Orange juice and vodka. Not cherry vodka,vodka. Not once did I mention flavored vodka. It was very empty and I understand why now.

Service was great once we got seated (Shout out to Ernie on the great service!). It took 3 attempts/requests to get seated in the bar area, which only had a few tables seated. Hostess said she has to seat in certain areas based on a rotation. Also they advertised on their website the UFC fight was going to be on and it wasn't. Asked server and he confirmed it wasn't on at this location. The TV display also falsly advertises "Watch Every Fight Here" on their TV display. Food was ok. Jameson Iced Tea was great!
