You other people (old people) review this place as an adult, so you miss what kids see, Kids see flashing light and endless excitement when going to one of these places. Sure, it was different when we were kids, you only judge places in terms of money and cleanliness now...HELLLLLLLOOOOOOO. If you can put yourself at least ONE DAY to being a kid again, you would see that this place is GRRRRRRREAT! Tons of games be it videogames or small rides or ticket winning games...I Loved it when here celebrating my nephews birthday party! Brought me back to arcades of the 80's without the trashy people. If you are going to review this place, look through the eyes of your kids...it's loud and bright and tons of things are going on at once, totally stimulating all senses.. if I was a kid again I WOULD BE JUMPING AROUND LIKE A MANIAC! So wise up and think of your child's new experiences, which are WAY more important than an adults needy ways. As long as your child is in complete wonderment and adventure, all is beautiful. Let them make awesome memories like we had as a child, sure it cant be exactly like we had it, but they will sure enough say the same thing one day. (: read more

Only come here for children's birthday parties. Otherwise, I'll pass. Place is pretty nice if the party you attend is the first one for the day. As the day progresses, the place gets dirtier and louder. Weekends are not fun here. As for the pizza, it is not bad. Back in the day when I was a kid, I would give Chuck E Cheese 5 stars! As an adult, I can only give them 2 stars. Maybe taking the kids here Monday thru Thursday is much better and cleaner cause there are less crowds. read more

Yeah its not the same when I was a kid. That one wad over where the TJ Max is now. I can only judge this place on the fact that my nephew loves it. $20 for a pie and tokens, and I'm his favorite uncle. Pizza is eh. Still he loves it. Games are fun for him. read more

It's a Tuesday with about 15-20 people tops, yes that's strange for Chuckie cheese. We were greeted by one gentleman who was very nice. The cashier on the hand wasn't to pleasant to deal with, I have my receipt with a name. Not sure what we did to her, anyways we ordered 3 large & some wings. It took exactly 1 hour and 17 min for us to get our order. If we wouldn't of said we seen our pizza just sitting back there raw it would of been longer. We came with the intentions of celebrating our sons 4th bday, we were excited because it seemed we had the place to ourselves. We were definitely fooled. Never again will we come back to a place we use to have fun at. Such a disappointment, not even an apology.. just some eye rolls. I regret not getting my refund and walking out... read more

We went here on a weekday and was pleasantly surprised. There was a lot of games for our 3.5yr old. Once I figured out the game system, I paid for 30min of play. Your card has a timer and you can play anything as much as you want in that time frame. So we both played all the games together and it worked out to our advantage, rather then paying by credit. After our 30 minutes we sat down to eat. We ordered our pizza fresh and it was pretty delicious. After we ate, we bought another 30 minute session and were out. I also liked the security feature where they stamp yourself and child with uv ink when entering and it's verified that they match under the black light when you exit. read more

Good for the kids.A place for the kiddos to play.Price is reasonable compared to competition.

Wasn't bad. I use to work here years ago and I thought it would be nice to take my wife, our roommate and her two kids here for her daughter's birthday. The pizza and bread sticks didn't taste good at all. The games were good for the kids and the staff was great. Not sure if I will return again, as I didn't enjoy the food at all. read more

Kids prefer this place over Johns. Prices are very reasonable. Customer service needs improvement. Other than that, we love this place.

Disappointed. We took my three boys today since they have been wanting to go. The line to pay took about 10 minutes to get through. We ordered the lunch buffet for everyone. $8.50 for adults & $6.50 for kids (drinks not included). There were not many buffet food options available. Pizza, salad, and cinnamon pizza. The salad options were extremely limited. There was never a good variety of pizza for adults. At one point, we waited about 10 minutes for any pizza to be on the line. The pizza at the buffet is poor quality. There's a noticeable difference in the quality of pizza at the buffet versus the pizza purchased individually. Mr. Cheese needs his outfit laundered. read more

Chuck E. Cheese - Pizza Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Great experience today! We are loving the remodel in progress here at this location. Kids love it, family loves it, and the many people around me complimenting the newer more updated version of Chuckee Cheese. This time around, staff seemed to be quite amazing! Keep up the good work to the leadership team! read more

I find that this place has lost its luster and customer service. I have hosted about 4 birthday parties there over a period of 6 years. The last 2 were horrible. My guests had arrived and we had to wait over 30 minutes on the food and tokens for the kids, so when the food did come the kids had to scarf it down because we were told we didn't have time to eat because Chucky was coming out and we had to cut the cake. Once we cut the cake the kids were eating the cake, our server started cleaning up and asking kids to move because we had to leave the party area and they had to get ready for the next party. It was a bad experience I found myself repeatedly having to apologize to my guests. Also now when we go there are also at least 3-4 games that are out of order and every time we have gone a game always breaks down and when we ask for a associate to help us they are bombarded by other people with similar issues. read more

Personally I like the matching number stamps, I like knowing that if my kid gets away from me for a minute or two to play a game no one else is gonna walk out the door with them, even though i do keep him in sight-kids can sneak away fast! I love the updated fresh version of Chuck E. Cheese now. I used to come here as a child and remember how dark it used to be. I do miss the band the "talk show is a tad boring but Its much more open and lighter now that it has expanded. We had my sons birthday there this past week and they really made him feel like a birthday star. We definately got our moneys worth. We did it on a monday night to beat the weekend crowd-I refuse to go there on weekends its like a zoo. I LOVED that all the games were only one token to play..my kids enjoyed playing them over and over. As far as the food goes it was pretty decent too and we didnt have salad bar but it was very clean and the food looked very fresh. I cant wait to take my kids back there again because we had so much fun. Thanks Chuck E. Cheese for a great party! read more

"Best birthday ever! " were my daughter's exact words. Makes your heart melt. We had my daughter and my niece's 5th birthday here on a Sunday morning. We did the vip package and got to come in at 9am, the kids had a run of the place for 2 hours to themselves until the restraunt opened at 11. It was wonderful. They also got 2 hours of free play with the game passes. Which meant for 1,000's of tickets. Great for the kids but not so much for the adults loading those tickets into the ticket eater one by one but all the kids left with so many goodies. Included in the party package they also got a goodie bag, dippin dots and candy from the pinata. Our party host Jackie was really sweet. Very patient and enthusiastic with the kids. I didn't have to do much which allowed me more time to enjoy the place with my little girl. Everyone left very happy, kids and adults! read more

Nasty food. There was barf on the floor. The games smelt of urine. The food tasted so bland and I wouldn't be surprised if the food was actually recycled. It is ridiculous how expensive it is for how nasty the food is. Will never be coming back! read more

My kids love it but I dont so much...you need to have someone helping out customers trying to redeem their prizes .the cashiers take forever to take people's orders.there is always a long line.even to get inside I'm standing there waiting for someone to stamp my hand and let me and my kids in...hire more ppl .be more organized read more

Had a blast here. I haven't been here in years and they really renovated and updated the restaurant completely. My kids enjoyed it as well and won a couple small prizes. read more

The best place ever!!! The staff is incredible!!! Tye, Stephanie outstanding!! I talked to the manager curtis and he was so nice and helpful. The others manager Ileana was running the birthday area and had it running so smooth!!! Love this place!!! This is a very safe place for families and kids. I've been coming here for 3 generations now. The incident that occurred in there parking lot, one that is shared by several business, was a single isolated incident. I still feel very safe and feel it's very unfortunate the community blames the business instead of the community blaming itself. Typical! read more

If I could give it no stars I would, this place is really gone down I waited in line over 20 minutes while people where cutting in line one cashier who looked stressed out. Spoke to manager who looked 13 years old, I didn't even order food just got 5 dollars so my daughter could play games and so we could leace quickly since we waited all that time. NEVER WOULD I GO BACK! read more

I was expecting a run down Chuck E Cheese from my youth but it has definitely been updated! My daughter is 2 and had plenty of options to play/ ride and enjoyed herself a lot. There is food options like pizza, wings and more that tasted pretty great. We got coupons from the website and only paid $40. We left after over an hour of play and full of pizza and soda. Would definitely recommend this spot for younger kids and families. read more

We've been here a couple times. Jared and Val have both been especially friendly and nice during our visits.

The LAST time we went to this location, the carpet was so incredibly dirty that a thick, dark cloud of humidity floated above it and the smell was awful. I've been to other Chuck E Cheeses and the carpet didn't look or smell like that. There are a lot of younger people working there, who lack customer service skills, some are probably in high school, but what do you expect, it's a Chuck E. Cheese. The management is really nice and they've comped us a few things because of horrible customer service and burned food . I imagine management would love new carpet, or atleast clean carpet, but it's all up to the owner to provide them with that. We drive to Visalia. Much better experience there. And, the carpet doesn't stink. read more

Went there a couple months ago and I walked myself into the back kitchen and saw firsthand that the manager himself was put together old pizza slices to form a new pepperoni pizza to serve to customers ! Ridiculous, I was then kicked out of the establishment and told to keep my mouth shut about what I saw, so I thought I would take it to yelp. read more

We haven't been here in over 10 years. When we arrived the guy held out a stamp in front of us without saying a word. We stared blankly at him before holding our hand out for him to stamp it. We then ordered our food. It took about 40 minutes to get to us which felt like a long time considering it was a week day and not many people were there. The restrooms could also use some attention. The lady at the prize stand was nice and doing the best she could though. read more

This place doesn't even deserve 1 star. How bad is an establishment when your children have to be stamped with ID numbers, in order to prevent them from being kidnapped. Also, their pizza & food sucks! This place was actually pretty cool once; when it was Showbiz Pizza years ago. They had animatronic characters playing show tunes and the atmosphere was fun....I don't know; maybe as a child things appear to be cooler than what really they are, but as an adult, you would have to be a glutton for misery to go there. But I digress, it's changed for the worst and can't be saved. Sadly, I wouldn't recommend this place to the greatest imbecile on earth. read more

There is trash and food all over the floor everywhere. Things were sticky and I didn't want to eat here. I won't be coming here again. Manger need to take 2 or 3 steps up. read more

Chuck E. Cheese - Trash everywhere. Was hard to find a place to sit down and eat. - Pizza Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Chuck E Cheese's. What happened to you. You used to be so fun. There are no more animatronic animal bands (Rock-a-Fire Explosion). I remember visiting this very location when I was a kid, when it was called Showbiz. I used to love going there and would get so excited. I have kids of my own now and took them there. It was a big let down and I wish they could have seen the old Showbiz that I saw. They did away with the one thing that made Chuck E Cheese special. I predict they will go out of business soon. You might as well go to John's Incredible Pizza. That restaurant is bigger, cleaner, better food, and more games. What a shame. read more

Just terrible. This place used to be something now its apparent they are just about money and nothing else. The pizza used to be good now its just blah. If you want t to experience mass market production with no soul and ok pizza this is the place. If you want to treat your kids to something nice... Order pizza and play with them. Much better experience. read more

Came here for a birthday party. For a Monday night it was quite busy. To my surprise the pizza was so good; the crust had a delicious garlic, butter taste. The establishment was clean over all and they have quite some entertainment for the kids. My child had a good time and seemed to enjoy the music. The kid zone was jam packed but that's expected. Overall I was impressed with the cleanliness, kind staff, and delicious pizza. I liked that they check you in and out that way if you have kids you don't walk out with a kid that's not your own. read more

Never in my life have i been so disappointed in my food , the pizza was BURNT and my wings were COLD. They took a long time, and obviously a little too long if they burnt my pizza and it's honestly not worth the price . Just shut down altogether if you're not going to be giving good service. read more

I do not like Chuck E Cheese's. First, the food is horrible. My friend got a salad from the salad bar, and found hair in her salad. The pizza is greasy. Nothing is clean. There is trash everywhere and everything is sticky. It's really hot and crowded inside too. The line is always huge for pizza that isn't even worth it. The people are usually very rude, but I can't blame that on Chuck E Cheese's. I only gave them 2 stars because they do fundraisers for the school my mother's a principal at. Not worth your time, or money. read more

I bring my kids here a couple times a month, weekdays 1- 4pm when there's not usually a lot of people. They love it! I like that you can just go to play games and don't have to pay for food like you do at john incredible pizza. A couple times, the manager I assume, has went around putting tokens in the machines, free games, way cool. I've also seen him give a stack of tickets to a little boy who didn't have very many. Thumbs up for him. I've only taken my children here once in the evening and it was too crowded to be fun. But midday midweek this is a great place to take the little ones. read more

So today I and My best Friend decide to try the Buffet at chuck e cheese's . It was the worst buffet I have ever gone to. The salad bar was nothing like the one they have normal. And the pizza was old, and cold and taste like a piece of old cardboard. I try to get the manager to bring out New stuff but he didn't look like he liked his job much. I also witness other customer telling him, she order her pizza without olives He told they didn't charge her extra, but she told the manager her children didn't like them. He had no customer service skills what's so ever. I also witness a pizza sitting at the counter getting cold for 20 mins. I had the worst lunch ever. I told my friend if all food taste this bad America would be skinny because it was that bad. I took pictures. I wish I could post them with my review. read more

Honestly, I mostly come here for the games that I play with my daughter. When it's not crowded, it's kind of nice to be in there getting some daddy-daughter time. I know that they've made an effort to improve their food and drink offerings and think that they should be commended for that. I still don't generally buy their food though. Regardless, if you're nearby, this place is air-conditioned and is a nice respite from the outside world. read more

Once we arrived, we noticed people standing at the door. After waiting 10 minutes I began to wonder what could possibly be going on. After an associate let the people in the front of the line know what was going on, no one told us. We had three children under the age of 5 standing in the cold and windy night waiting to get in. Once the lady in front of us told us they were at capacity, we decided to leave. Not only was it cold and windy, we had very small children, no one was telling us what was going on, and we felt like they didn't want our business so we left and went to Johns Incredible Pizza on Rosedale. read more

Everything is expensive here. They take too long with the pizzas and they ended up burnt. John's incredible is better.

Our kids prefer this place to Johns. 3 and 6 granted but for young kids they have some cool stuff. Pizza isn't the greatest but it's ok. Salad bar usually pretty decent. This is a place for kids not so much for adults. They do have beer though so lighten up and relax its a pretty fun place if you make it fun. Love how Chuckee comes out throwing tickets for the kids see him pretty much every time we are here. They also stamp hands so matching parent and child only can leave together. Nice added security precaution. read more

I was VERY DISAPPOINTED in the salad bar being removed for the lunch crowd. They have a new buffet deal, beware it does not include the salad bar. They take the salad bar out during lunch. I think they should let diners know the salad bar is not included. They had a little salad, it had tomatoes lettuce and cucumbers, you could add cheese and croutons. My son enjoyed the games but I highly recommend eating somewhere else before you go there. read more

This place was awesome.Tye was very helpful in offering me coupons and guided me in the right direction. The whole staff was very nice very attentive. My party host stephanie was super nice and sweet.couldn't ask for a better place to have our party their pizza is so good!!! The managers are very friendly.we will be back. read more

I Went To Celebrate my Best Friend's Birthday. she and I have been Close since we were 7, Who is now my Fiancee and We Hoped for a Great Time Like we used to have when we were young kids, but when we went, we were a little bit upset. Everything was Out of Order, The Food Sucked and it was Reaaaaally Pricey and The animatronics Didn't Even have their Show! all we had was just silence and video games beeping and doing their thing... very crazily. we Waited almost all day for Chuck E. To come out and Greet the Kids but He was MIA! Chuck E. Cheeses, Please understand that Children are not a Cash Grab. Make your Location Fun or else, what sense is there to even go?
