I had a pretty decent time today! They switched to cards that you swipe to access games instead of tokens- which I don't mind but will miss dearly as it was present throughoutthe times I went as a child. The games themselves are okay- just your run of the mill skeeball machines and coin droppers with a couple of unique ones tossed in for variety (piano tiles, crossy road-esque games). The only issue I have (that isn't too big) is that the card scanner is a bit flawed in that you don't swipe; you have to hold your card against the scanner for a good chunk of time and even so, your scan mught not load and you have to repeat the whole process of frustratingly holding your card against whatever machine you chose to play. Tickets are kind of iffy, you don't get that much from a game if you don't know what and how to play it. Prizes are unfortunately "expensive", and you have to rack up a GOOD amount of tickets if you want something nice (I'm talking the higher end of 2000), which also means more money spent (usually) at the parent's expense- but hey, that's how they make money. Overall my trip was alright, the staff were kind and I especially appreciate them letting me take home a good chunk of their Airheads candies- I might just come back soon! read more

Chuck E. Cheese - Air Heads - Pizza Near Me - San Jose, California

This review is for their appetizer platter. I paid $21.86 for cheese bread, a handful of fries (barely), and exactly 4 wings. It's supposed to feed 4ppl and it barely fed my 10 year old. I've ordered this at other locations and unfortunately, this location rips you off. Seriously pathetic. Games are fun, however. My kid loves it. Very clean venue and has been renovated since the last time I was here over a decade ago. read more

I am sure there is little they can do to minimize the chaos in a place like this. The games are loud as is everything else. The staff does a good job with parties making sure everything is timed well and also the food comes out relatively quick Pizza isn't too great but not the worse. Their sodas are highway robbery. I mean to charge over $2 for a small cup is insane. They are already making a killing on everything else Their salad bar is usually well stocked and cleaned and filled regularly. Wish they had an adult only section with a few games of ski ball! It's hard to wait hours for one to open up read more

Chuck E. Cheese - Making it rain tickets while Chuck danced - Pizza Near Me - San Jose, California

Good place to spend holidays with kids. Parking could be tough to find during holidays or afternoon during weekend. There are many machines that fits many my kids across all ages. Foods are not bad. read more

My kids love Chuck E. Cheese, we celebrated our daughter's 3rd birthday there before . Since then we always go and visit once in a while except during pandemic. Staff are ok and nice. However they need more staff to sanitize and clean up . read more

Well shucks, you realize you're old when you walk into Chuck E. Cheese without the need of the glow in the dark stamp. Remember when they had tubes for you to slide and scream your hearts out? Or the time when 98% of the games actually worked? Man, I've said it before and I'll say it again, "time flies when you're having fun." The Mr. and I came today just to relive our childhood. I wasn't having a good day until we came here lol. No joke. We had a large pizza with 100 tokens. It was good enough for us to be, well, uhm, a kid again. Solid 3 stars just because a handful of the games were broken. Other than that, no complaints. Sure, this isn't as good as Round 1 in Eastridge but it was good enough for a short, quick, fun, and cheap kinda gig once and a while. read more

this location is horrible, as a food critic the way the pizza is made here does not compare to the other chuck e cheese's most of the time the cheese isn't melted all the way their soda nozzles have mold in them their salad bad is weird as ive seen the Cupertino location they have bright lights so that you see quality of food but here at this location the lights are really dim and purple?? like I wanna be able to see the quality anywho there's ongoing construction and all the games here have a duplicate so in reality there's not much to play read more

The staff was so nice and very respectful. The new pizza thin crust with garlic cheese stuff crust was amazing. I like the fact the staff was always on the look out for the kids not leaving the place. read more

Why is it that almost all places in San Jose have terrible customer service? We finished playing today and we went to get some rewards for the points we had, the people who attended us were nice until we go to this guy named " Juan Carlos ", by description he is an old man with attitude. He was rushing us too choose and was being very rude. He was impatient aswell but this was not the case with the other workers. Also on our way out the lady that was there with king nails was rude. Big shoutout to the dude with the jaw length hair, looks young. He was very respectful to us and patient. Everything else was fine though, I'm not tripping over the place just these employees have attitude. read more

Definitely love the choices of games and prices. My kids love this location for that reason. Cashiers are not that knowledgeable. We got 2 summer pass, sometimes the employee does not quite know what to you or how to use one app for 2 cards. As for unlimited play time. I am noticing the time between it scan of the card is less frequent (the wait time is a lot longer). This makes it not really unlimited play. We would have to keep scanning until the time has lapse before we can play again. Is anyone seeing this? Seems to have gotten worst each time we were there. We were there in July, Aug and Sept 27. read more

This location is open! After over a year, place and staff are still great. Still under social distancing and sanitizer is stationed all over the video game floor. Highly recommended! read more

I really hate it when Chuck E Cheese barely does anything with little ones so excited to see him. I can understand if it's packed & busy, but it's a Friday at 1:30... less than 10 kids & this particular Chuck E Cheese person doesn't care to engage the kids other than a quick walk, tossing tickets and a couple high fives. Parents would like to take pics (it's offered in the monologue) and he could dance or SOMETHING...don't dress as Chuck E. Cheese if you can't relate with the little ones. It's like the person hates dressing up. They usually have a great person on Friday afternoons who dances, gives extra hugs for the few kids & takes pics. When it comes to hospitality with kids, don't have this job if you can't cater to the kiddos. Sorry, just irritating. Bring the good person in! Other than a crappy Chuck E Cheese character on some day, we typically love it here! read more

My toddler pointed out hair embedded in their pizza twice, in two different slices! And the manager acted not surprised or disgusted. He appeared like it was a normal occurrence. I've never been so grossed out in my life read more

The cashier here is very well untrained and will give out false information without apologizing at all. We paid more than what we were told as a result. When complaint, the "manager" dismissed us and was extremely rude. Do not trust whatever the worker tell you and ask them to prove it or write it down otherwise, they would simply dismiss you completely and will deny everything they said verbally. read more

A employee by the name of Jessica was extremely sweet and gave me lots of tips about using my app , she answered all my questions and I felt she was just so helpful. It's always clean when I come and I feel like I see them come out often to clean tables and make sure the salad bar is always well kept. read more

This place is fairly big compared to other Chuck E. Cheese establishments. I do wish they do better crowd control for COVID but if you honestly have your own bottle of alcohol sanitizer and religiously follow your kid. You should be fine. Just wish it could be cleaner. read more

Five stars for going on a weekday! The place was clean, calm, and all the games were working well. My kid had a blast and we can't wait to come back. read more

As you can see from the picture, we were promised 1000 tokens. My mom planned a 3 year bday for my son. And when we got here, Nadia, the manager refused to honor the receipt. She blamed it on the Chuck E Cheese Corp, and only offered 1000 tickets to compensate. I had to bargain for 2000 tickets. The lesson learned is to not order a package online because the actual chuck E Cheese will not honor anything read more

This Chuck E. Cheese's is a great place to come. My son loves this place and I can still remember & see some of the super old games back when I was a little girl...like that green alligator 'smacking' game. Not sure what's it called, hehe. You know that game where the alligator sticks out quickly from its hole, then you smash it or pound it with your hand/fist. They added many New games upstairs and downstairs like Connect Four, Fruit Ninja, & Pac-Man. I like the Pac-Man game since you play 4-player rounds. Colors are red, blue, yellow, and pink. Nom nom nom nom nom. It's sooo cute & funny when you become Huge O_o then eat other Pac-Man players. Wahahaha. My son was playing against a 2 year old once and that was when I saw his giant huge Pac-Man devour the other little kid's Pac-Man twice. So funny! Our family usually comes here with that coupon my brother finds in Red Plum ads that are mailed home. Either choose the "Buy Any Large Pizza and Get 100 Free Tokens - Good Any Day" or the BEST coupon is "Buy Any Large Pizza and Get 150 Free Tokens - Monday thru Thursday Only" & the Online coupons you can print off their website http://www.chuckecheese.com/discover/coupons & the reward calendars http://www.chuckecheese.com/discover/rewards-calendars for the 10 free tokens perk with food purchase. We like the coupon for $5.99 All You Can Eat Salad Bar too. Pizza is passable but of course not as good compared to real deal pizzerias. I'm gonna have a blast today with the Chuck E. Cheese's Fundraiser I coordinated. Hope there's a great turn out since 15% of all sales goes back to his elementary school! Long hours designing those Chuck E. Cheese's fundraising flyers, gathering special coupons, and stapling hundreds of flyers for this event tonight. Totally happy to help volunteer for my son's school & help out his new school & all the children! ^_^ read more

I remember coming here ALL the time as a kid. Just recently came back & things have changed. 1. It's so expensive! I think it was $1 for 3 token? THATS ONLY 3 GAMES! So, if you're planning to buy tokens, make sure you look for coupons online. 2. They got rid of the play ground. But it was probably for sanitation reasons. They also got rid of lots of other fun games. ): There goes my childhood! 3. Workers are rude. They all hate their jobs. One of the workers had a pocket knife on him. Very scary.. 4. The pizza wasn't that bad. 5. PLENTY of tables. I think there were more tables than there were games! read more

Its free to get in, that's a plus. Workers take a long time to get to the machines to fix the problem I was having. The food here is pricey. This place is dirty and not clean. A lot of germs every where. read more

Why do people complain about a kids' play place being crowded or not so clean? It's a freaking place for kids! What do you expect? They have sticky hands and runny noses.... so yeah this place is going to be sticky! But it's still awesome! I just avoid coming on the weekends or after 3pm on weekdays as much as possible!! I have been going to this Chuck E Cheese and this only since idk.. f o r e v e r. A two story building filled with one token games! How can you beat that?! I like their pizza & wings even though it's pricey... I LOVE their all-you-can-eat salad bar! MmmMm! BEST part of all Chuck E is a SHARKS fan and always rocks an SJ SHARKS jersey! :D Though I feel as if the building is pretty old and will collapse any day now.. especially with all them kids AND adults running around! This building have been there since I was born.. and that's going on a quarter of a century. San Jose needs something fresh! Something new! Please REBUILD AND RELOCATE. Gosh, no one wants to drive down Tully's crazy traffic... CRAY CRAY! On a VERY not-so-good-note: I recently came here for a kid's birthday party and you know how they stamp all children and adults accordingly as they enter.. well, at the end, I left holding my friend's 3 yr-old-daughter (whom didn't come at the same time as me nor do we look like we could EVER be related) they lady "checked" our stamps and let us through. Same thing happen with my bf who held our friend's son, the lady "checked" their stamps and let them through too! WTH?? Some security system... -_______- Lady should get fired! SMH. read more

Chuck E. Cheese - Chuck E representing the SJ Sharks! :D - Pizza Near Me - San Jose, California

It's a place where a kid can be a kid. Definitely coming back so my kid can burn up their energy

Was having a great time with my family and my girls where ecstatic playing games and such. Once we went to into the prize area before we left, we where greeted by a terrible employee. Did not catch her name but she was very much in the emo style with piercings and all. Terrible attitude. One of the worst people I have ever encountered. Honestly, if you are miserable at your job, get another one. This establishment should be welcoming with employees having great attitudes for a family and children experience. Please do better. read more

Ah yes, Chuck E Cheese ... "where a kid can be a kid"! I entered the building where I spent most of my childhood eating away at pizza, crawling through tubes and blowing out my birthday cake candles. I was taken back that I no longer needed a glow in the dark stamp because I was now, old enough. (Eek!) Everything seemed smaller and it looked basically the same. The new additions of more up to date games were pleasing and get this, every game - one token. My gosh, what a steal! Sadly, TF and I go through tokens like there's no tomorrow. The place is kept particularly intact, I just wish most of the games were more properly calibrated. Note: You get extra tokens if you purchase them at the counter versus the machine. read more

I came here for fun just to relive the good ol days. This location has some really new games which I enjoyed. They've replaced a lot of the old ticket games with more fancy and graphically intensive ones. In addition, there are a decent amount of new arcade games on the second floor that don't give tickets but have some pretty good playing modes and graphics. Overall, still had a lot of fun but the location is a little bit dirty. The pizza and other food isn't great. The ticket prizes aren't anything impressive either. The pricing is great though for the number of tokens you can get - and if you include it with a coupon in the newspaper, you'll get even more! I think it would still be a great destination for kids, but be careful of the crowds, subpar food and staying clean! read more

Coolest Chuck E. Cheese around! We flew down here for a day just to visit. Based on some of these reviews- I don't think locals here know how good they have it! Most don't know that this place is one of the biggest CEC in the country. It didn't disappoint! Super clean, updated, tons and tons of games, staff all very kind, pizza was amazing. Can't ask for more! read more

this location has been here FOREVER!! my parents didnt take me here too often when i was little but that just made our trips to C.E.C THAT MUCH more SPECIAL. i enjoy being able to bring my niece and nephews here from time to time. they always get a kick seeing chuck make his routine rounds and making it rain with tickets. FUN!! not much has changed with this location besides them taking out the ball pit a long long time ago. im not complaining because that seemed to be more of a filthy hazard than anythng else. all the games are just one token so its a great place to get more BANG FOR YOUR BUCK. unfortunately, a lot of the games cheat you out of your coins and sometimes out of your tickets that you rightfully won. if you are lucky enough to flag down a worker they will quickly reimburse your token but thats only if youre lucky. i can let it slide if it happens twice.. maybe thrice... but anything beyond that is just not ok. while a good amount of the games are pretty ancient (they've been there even when i was little), there are new games that pop up periodically. its kind of a nice surprise whenever you see something out of the ordinary. lol food: pizza is small and isnt the greatest but its not the worst either. its edible. its normally on the oily side and comes out slightly mushy at times...but hey!! its chuck e cheese. buffalo wings are yummy. veggies that come along with it can be not as fresh as you would like but when that happens, i just wont eat them. no biggie. salad bar is a rip off.. yet i always seem to buy it. $8/person for a teeny tiny plate that doesnt hold much and should not be shared according to them. there really isnt any way around the petite size, you just have to get baby sized portions and make frequent trips. keep in mind, the salad bar does get extremely messy and it takes quite a while for someone to clean it. read more

I never went to CEC as youngster but only as a senior citizen treating friends children to got good grades. The minimum basic birthday party is reservation for 4 children @$12.99+ & up plus 4 adults, will get tokens, pizza, soda, reserved & decorated table for two hours. You can bring your own cake and ice cream bucket for free & it will be put in freezer till served at party end! It is a fantasy for young children to freely use tokens in video and mechanical games to win tickets depending on skill! Tickets are totaled uo and used to purchase various kids toys and games in CEC store! read more

Wow!! It's a whole new place!! If you haven't been there in a while, it's time to go back!! They remodeled the whole place! Service was good too!! Pizza was not the best but kids don't seem to care. Pizza tasted like it was out of the frozen isle in Walmart. If there pizza was better, I would of given 5 stars ! Toons of games and plenty of room for the kids to run around! Kids won lots of tickets and had a blast! read more

Chuck E. Cheese - Pizza Near Me - San Jose, California

This placed changed a lot since the last time I was here which was when I was around 11 or 12 years old or younger (I don't remember exactly). They don't have those HUGE puppets of Chuck E Cheese and his friends playing on stage. The place looked a lot darker back in the day and there were more arcade games upstairs, too. Now, this place is a lot brighter and has fewer arcade games upstairs (there are no more fighting games). The good thing is the games only cost 1 token which is pretty much a steal. Everything looks small to me since I'm older and even the pizza looks small. A small pizza is $11.99 and it's pretty small. Yeah, I didn't want to pay more for a larger size because I didn't think it was worth it. They sell sandwiches here, too. I always thought they sell pizza and buffalo wings only... One thing's for sure: this place is good for kids and they will have fun here playing games and running around. read more

I haven't been here in YEARS! I was very pleasantly surprised when I came here today. It is clean, well lit, decorated for Christmas, and the staff was attentive and friendly. All the games were in good working order, and... did I say? CLEAN! I will be back! read more

Took our daughter here for the first time. I have fond memories of going to this one as a kid, so I looked forward to going as a parent. Pizza was mediocre, but kids aren't picky about that so it's not a huge deal. I was kind of put off by the prices though. They took out the ball pit and many other non - token costing attractions, which is kind of a drag. There were lots of fun interactive games though and I probably enjoyed playing them even more than my daughter (who was plenty entertained by jamming tokens into coin slots and grabbing tickets) But my main gripe is that they don't have CHANGING TABLES in the men's room. I figured a kid centric place like this would have changing tables in both restrooms, but they don't. Changing a toddler in the men's room is a hassle and it isn't fair to have the task always fall on my wife. read more

I love Chuck E. Cheese pizza, ate a ton and usually don't eat that much carbs. The wings weren't bad either. I saw Chuck E. Cheese giving out tickets for kids. Game wise, not a bad selection and I saw a ton of people winning the bonus. The parking is a pain though, you have to park at another plaza. Token says 25 cent but it's basically one token. read more

Who would have thought that the pizza here is actually good. Its not just good , its great. I'm picky when it comes to pizza but this place got it right. The reason for the 4 starts and not 5 is because the lines here are always really long. I think that on their busy days they should have all registers opened and staffed. Also the bathroom could have been way cleaner considering this place is tailored towards children. Another reason is the parking. Good luck with finding a spot even on a weekday. But even with what Ive mentioned Id still come to this location because its the closet to where I live and My kid has a blast. read more

Visiting Chuck E. Cheese brings back so many memorable moments in my childhood. I used to often spend time here with my friends/family, and I loved it! However, it's been quite a long time since I've been back here. A few days ago, my friends, my sister, and I decided that Chuck E. Cheese would be a fun place to hang out. It was 3pm on Friday, and there were still many parking spots available. We went inside and proceeded to buy our tokens. Here's where all the negative parts of my review come in. Remember when tokens used to be 4 for $1? Now it's 3 for $1! Not only did they raise the price for tokens, they also raised the token amounts for the games. Before, every single game at this place would only cost 1 token ($0.25). Now, there are games that require up to 4 tokens to play! Besides that, I noticed that the interior of Chuck E. Cheese looks the same as it did many years ago. They didn't remodel or repaint anything to give it a "newer" or "fresher" look. Some of the games here are the same, while others have been replaced by new ones. Most of the games also don't really give you that much tickets. When it was time to redeem our points for prizes, I was very disappointed to see the prize options. The "good" prizes here require thousands of tickets, while the prizes that most people can afford are lame. Who would want a phone holder that costs 400 tickets? It's just a waste of money trading in your tickets for the small prizes. I recommend just saving tickets to get one of the larger prizes available. Overall, when you come to Chuck E. Cheese, you have 2 options. The first one is to strategically play the games to earn as much tickets as possible to make your money worth it. The second is to not worry about how much tickets you get, but spend time and have fun with your friends and family. Anyways, it was nice visiting Chuck E. Cheese and I did have fun with my friends and my sister. Besides the negative aspects of this place, playing the games brought back great memories. read more
