    Chuck E. Cheese was founded as Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza Time Theatre in 1977 by Nolan Bushnell who created one of the first computer video games Pong and to support it, he co-founded Atari. Fun fact, one of the first people he hired to work at Atari was Steve Jobs. When creating Chuck E. Cheese Bushnell sought to make arcade video games family friendly. The restaurants animatronic show was inspired by Nolan's love of the animals of Disney's Bear Country Jamboree and Tiki Room and pizza was chosen to serve because he liked it and it was easy to make. The first location opened in San Jose, California and it was the first family restaurant to combine food and and family games. Chuck E. Cheese began franchising early on and as of 2020 they had over 600 locations in 47 U.S. states, four Canadian provinces, and 3 cities in Puerto Rico. They are headquartered in Irving, Texas. The restaurants are named after its mascot, Chuck E. Cheese. Bushnell originally purchased a coyote costume and gave it to his staff to make the mascot. They thought it was a rat and Bushnell decided to go with it and name his restaurant Rick Rat's Pizza. He was talked out of putting rat in the name and instead called it Chuck E. Cheese, The E stands for entertainment. Each restaurant had child centered arcade games, amusement rides, ball pits, crawl tubes, and a character stage show. When you played the games you got tickets for prizes. It was a relatively inexpensive venue for children's birthday parties and many kids grew up attending parties there. I haven't been to a Chuck E Cheese since my daughter was a child but I got to relive all of the fun with a camp group. There has been a lot of changes since my last visit over 15 years ago. Instead of just pizza the menu now includes items like wings, cheesy bread and unicorn churros. Another thing that stood out was how bright and clean it was. Gone is the dark interior and the germ ridden hamster crawl tubes and ball pits. Covid caused Chuck E. Cheese to file bankruptcy and you can see one of the legacies of the virus is that everything can be easily cleaned. Chuck E. still has the band together but instead of the old show, their performances are broadcast on screens throughout the restaurant along with other Kidz Bop type of performances. We started out with a pizza lunch and it wasn't bad! Adults got a very nice salad bar along with a Hawaiian and meat lovers pizza and unlimited drinks. The staff was very attentive and nice. After that it was on the games. I had a blast playing along with the kids. We are all given unlimited timed game cards. Another change is that the machines no longer spit out tickets. They are electronically put on your card for prize redemption. They had Pac Man and all of us adults of a certain age had a nostalgia fueled session. I also had fun challenging the kids to video games, skee ball, whacking minions, and shooting hoops. There was a wide variety of games and a few little rides which appealed to everyone. A couple of the games weren't working but there was more than enough to keep a large group busy. The kids had a great time and even as an adult I had fun too. I used to hate taking my daughter to Chuck E. Cheese but the changes have made this place so much better. If you have older kids you might want to consider Dave and Busters but for the pre teen set and younger this was just about perfect.

    THIS PLACE IS JUST HOW I REMEMBER IT! The games were fun for a decent price! The nice girl up front told me about their promo of $20 for 100 tokens! That was a steal! The games range from 1-3 tokens! It's a great place & location to bring the kids to do something fun, especially on rainier days where outdoor activities don't seem to be the best idea! The water gun one is my personal favorite, almost as if I was at a fair! Would definitely come back to here! :-)

    What a horrible experience thanks to Brian!!! my drinks tossed and my food touched manager failed to accommodate us

    After visiting Chuck E. Cheese for the last six years, I have never experienced such a horrific time. I will no longer be patronizing with Chuck E. Cheese. The overall facility was OK not too sure how the food was since it was touched by others. Do not recommend bringing your children if Brian is working.

    Setting up for an epic day!

    My daughter had a party scheduled at another facility at 1139. They called and cancelled at 10 am. I called Chuck E. Cheese and asked if we could come in. While they couldn't take same day party reservations, they told us to come in and they would help. When we got there Shy and Christine were amazing!!! We likely had a better party than we would have had at the other facility. The manager came to check on us a few times as well. I can't say enough about Chuck E. Cheese and especially shy who made sure my daughter had a great birthday day. Chuck E. Cheese for the win!!! Thank you!!

    The manager who moves at his pace regardless of anyone else's time

    Some games didn't work but it's alright, pizza was alright, nothing special or brag worth, but the man running the counter has been messing with the same customer for over 45 min now and has created a huge line, my kids and I just wanna leave but they have 1000 tickets and wanna get toys, tried calling the store and watched this man hit the end call button every time I called. I'm not sure if he's flirting with them, they're smiling at each other so it can't possibly be an unpleasant situation. Idk if he's the manager, I sure hope he's not, but NO ONE else is working apparently, there's 5 families with 2 or more kids looking to spend tickets and this man is still just messing around with the same people. Would still come back, but possible I might turn around if I found out it's during this man's shift, don't count on anything getting done with him there. 2 stars because my kids had a genuine good time up until we were ready to leave.

    Short answer? YES. We finally tried it and are all so glad…read morewe did; delicioso! Our server, Megan, was so cheerful and helpful that we were immediately put in a good mood (though, tbf, I was pretty excited going in); they've got diet Dr. Brown's Black Cherry... always a good sign! The St James tea is a nice drink, too. Megan brought out some dough bites with a marinara and a vodka dipping sauce and, sorry, but they put everyone else's garlic knots to absolute shame! Nice cracky crust skin with crazy moist soft fluffy interior for every bite, a little heat from the garlic, and both sauces were tasty. The 16" pies are bona fide large pies, not 14" masquerading as full: We got the NY OG and the Vodka. The crusts are ridiculously good; super thin, with a crack on 'em, but still also moist and chewy, with a nice burn (not over-done, just enough charr). The NY OG toppings are light but there and have good mozz flavor; the vodka had a bit of bite once it set and the toppings are a bit heavier dollops. We (three of us, all originally from NJ and two of us with another 25 years in NYC under our belts) all loved it- genuine NY style pizza (we settled on thinking it's a combo of Patsy's and Mikes with better texture than either alone). Place is cute, super clean, though not much parking out back (of course, it's downtown Boca in the heart of Mizner, though apparently they offer valet at night anyhow). Like Arnie said, we'll be back.

    Felt very welcomed into this adorable place by the staff. Pizza was fabulous with perfect crust…read moreand seasoning. Highly recommend!
