    Waiting for the chicken to shit.
    Bruce B.

    I have three words for you: Chicken. Shit. Bingo. Chicken Shit Bingo is not a game of strategy. This is not a game of skill. This is a game of pure shit luck, and the fun is absolutely fowl! The rules are simple: Each player buys a number, which match a numbered square on a board inside a chicken pen. When the time comes, the chicken is placed in this pen, which will at this point be surrounded by the bettors, all hoping it will grace their square with it little "deposit." And then... everyone waits for the chicken to crap. Once it does, the winner is determined by the number of the square the very first turd lands on. You can play Chicken Shit Bingo here every 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month.

    They have chicken poop bingo twice a month!

    This is a great place to go if you have children with you. Not only can you bring kids but you can bring your dogs too! There is an outdoor area where you can sit with your dog and listen to live music while your kid plays arcade games inside! It is kind of self serve unless you order food or drinks but then they drop it off to your table and walk away. No one checks on you which I found lovely so you aren't pestered but obnoxious service staff. Parking is ample but it can be tricky if you go on a weekend. We always have a great time here and their drinks are pretty reasonable, about $5 for a beer or if you want a mixed drink $13. They also have chicken poop bingo twice a month which I will definitely be attending soon!

    Food was okay. Grilled chicken sandwich, fried chicken sandwich , and corn dog. Chicken breasts were really thin.

    Located in downtown Round Rock, this place kind of reminds me of a Rainey Street bar, but way more casual and family friendly. They have a great outdoor area with lawn games and big TV screens to watch some sports. They have a great beer tap selection and also serve standard bar food. The food is pretty average and I would come here more to hang out and have a beverage. We've been here twice and it is more enjoyable during a non busy day when it is not crowded. The other time we came was during St Patty's day and it was way too packed - not really enjoyable for families. They also have an indoor arcade area for the kids to keep them occupied. Bar tenders were friendly.

    Indoor arcade.

    Fun place for all, but very family friendly! All the main parts are in the back- green lawn space and covered back porch. The inside is devoted completely to the arcade. Food options are typical bar foods: easy finger foods like chips, dips, chicken tenders and more. We stopped in to try some appetizers and drinks to enjoy a lovely afternoon. It was packed but the service was quick and efficient. It has a very fun vibe and live music on the weekends. There are also HH specials and mimosas too. Check the small signs by the bar bc we missed it. You order off the QR code driven app tied to your seat under the covered patio but there is a walk up bar if you are sitting on the green lawn. Support local! .

    This place is super cool for the parents that like to get out and enjoy a cold one but can't get their babysitter to come through. The bartenders were all really friendly and made the drinks fast. My favorite was the pixie stick. I liked that you can pick your table and order straight from the QR code stickers at each table. The drinks were coming out fast and they didn't seem to mind the chaos the two under two crew brought in. Can't wait to go back when it's cooler.

    This place was chill. It was a rainy day when we came so really no one was there. So we just let our kids run around and get wet. Drinks were good. Music was good. We got some motz sticks just as an appetizer and it was disappointing only like 5 small ones for the price . It's got a cool arcade there too where you can drink and order drinks at the window. My kids had a good time and all the games in the arcade worked without problems . We'll be back !

    The food, the service, and the ambiance were on target. Good place to spend time with family and friends. A place to wind down and reset.

We opted for a package that included an hour of bowling, food & drinks for the kids, and a $10 arcade game gift card per child. This package was pretty affordable at $18 per child. They have add one such as goody bags and food/drink options for adults. We added a couple food platters for adults and the goody bags. Pros: - Affordable and convenient - low stress - kids had an absolute blast Cons: - Overall service was very average and slow. Inexperienced party host staff. - Room wasn't set up / ready until bowling was nearly done. - Upon arriving at the venue we learned that they didn't have goody bags available that day. This was disappointing because I would've expected a heads up at least one day in advance so that we can make other arrangements. They did provide an extra $10 on each child's game card to make up for it, which was nice.

Then several hours later we were notified that our party needed to be pushed back to 2:30pm because of a buyout, ok sure. Main Event coordinator apologized and offered items to make up for the mistake and booking issue. Then I noticed on the contact a 12% service fee ($46 and some change), I asked the event coordinator and she explained that the 12% goes to the event host/server. This was not the case it was a 12% booking fee that goes to the front office staff. WOW! 12% to book online?!?! Seriously?! The server was the one who explained it to me. When I asked the manager on duty she gave me attitude and basically said "you signed the contract so you have to pay it". The day of the party it didn't seem like everyone was on the same page, our host/server did the best he could and apologized several times but it was out of his hands. The pizza came out late and the wings arrived 40 minutes after the pizza. The pizza was not hot and the wing platter turned out to be wings, tenders and nuggets. We ate the wings and tried to return the tenders and nuggets but no manager came to the table. We took care of the host/server with cash tip but we definitely don't recommend this place for birthday parties or gatherings.

They offer buffet-style food stations with drinks, a salad bar, pasta, pizza, and desserts. She especially enjoys eating her pizza while watching a movie on the big screen. I'm not a big fan of the food, but it works for her. After we eat, we head to the arcade, which is full of bright lights and loud sounds. To play the games, you use a swipe card that you load with money. I usually put $20 or $30 on it, and it lasts about 30 minutes to an hour. There's a good variety of games for most ages. Then it's time for prizes. Mostly cheap junk, but she loves it anyway. The buffet prices are low, and they offer discounts on certain weekdays along with combo deals. Overall, it's a fun couple of hours and a guaranteed hit with the littles.

Food wasn't of the best quality but kids enjoyed it nonetheless. Birthday parties are in dedicated party rooms for lunch and cake time, followed by arcade time. They played a Disney movie for the kids to enjoy while they had lunch. The party rooms are a little narrow and can get crowded depending on the number of guests. My daughter loved the bumper cars and the variety of arcade games offered. She had a blast with her friends.

So, the 3 stars is for the activities experience and not the allergen food experience. If I did rate the food experience, it would have been negative stars, but because I don't expect Austin's to fix it, I am not factoring that into the rating I am giving them. But, I want to write the review to let other gluten free patrons know not to expect any precautions to be taken when preparing the GF pizza. My daughter is 17 and asked for the GF pizza and asked if the cook could change their gloves. The lady said no and she also told my daughter it didn't matter anyway because they would not use foil under the pizza or a clean slicer. So the pizza may as well have been a regular one with that much cross-contamination. The other reviews I saw on yelp about the GF experience made us hopeful that Austin's actually tried. But, that's not the case at all. I have always told my daughter that celiac disease is her cross to bear and not to expect others to cater to her needs. It's always very refreshing to find restaurants that are 100% GF or that take precautions because we know how special that is, but for those that don't, we can't fault them for it because it's not anyone's duty to care for her but us. So, those are places we just don't go to. So, activities are 3 stars, they are average. And food, I did not rate. Those with celiac, eat before you go is my advice. They have huge signs outside that outside food and drink are not allowed. I don't know if they would allow anything to be taken in for those with allergies. It wasn't worth it for us to ask. My daughter went with a group and it was completely paid for, but we would never go back if we had to pay for it.

Their packages are a great deal, you can eat and drink all day (great for the kids to pop in and get a drink or snack when needed and go back out. The salad bar alone is enough reason for me to go back to eat there. Everything was fresh and crisp on the salad bar. The pizzas and other food were replenish non-stop and it was always hot and fresh. They always had cups, ice, and drinks available. I am serious. I'm picky and I can't think of something to complain about here. The rides are always a hit with the kids. Mine will spend 8 or 9 hours there - happily. My husband joked that it should be a place for summer camps. 4 of our group didn't want the buffet and got burgers and taquitos from the restaurant. my husband is quite the food snob and said that the burger was awesome and gave me a bite. I agreed. The bacon was like a thick cut slab of pork belly. If I didn't enjoy the salad bar so much I would definitely get the burger, but I can have the best of both worlds and eat some of his next time. Their inside arcade has so many options and the games all work. I'm just so grateful that this place exists. Austin's management - you're doing an incredible job. We are fans!
