I learned what time Chuck E. Cheese gets very busy. We usually come in the morning so I never felt like Chuck E. Cheese was crazy busy. This time we came after my son's nap which was about 4 PM and I learned exactly when Chuck E. Cheese is crazy busy. There were a ton of birthday parties, every single birthday party table was full. Luckily, during the time we were there a lot of birthday parties seem to be ending, so by the time we needed to get our prizes, there wasn't a line. So I think the moral of the story is if you come on a Saturday, make sure it's not between 1 PM and 3 PM, or else you are coming at the most jampacked time. The people who work here tried to keep up with the crazy demands. At one point I didn't see anyone staffing the prize area even though there was a line waiting. And there was only one person who was at the cashier, checking people in. So definitely keep your eye on when there's people at the counters, because it isn't always a guarantee. I also learned this time that it takes about 10 minutes for your pizza to be ready. I ordered the pizza when we had 15 minutes of playtime left, and my buzzer went off with five minutes to go. So instead of pausing the game card, we let the kids finish their time and then they came to the table to meet me for pizza. It was kind of weird, but they make you take your cups and plates, even if you decide to order your pizza later. So we had to carry the plates and cups the entire time we played. Even though it seemed pretty busy, like there was no parking in the front parking lot so we had to go to the back, there are still enough games that my kids were never waiting for one. In the end after an hour, they each had about 400 points which was enough to get some cute prizes. We got a half cheese, half pepperoni pizza and it was pretty good. This isn't the best pizza in the world, but it is far from the worst. In the end, my kids always enjoy coming here, so I'm sure we'll be back. read more

Decided to have my daughter's birthday at Chuck E. Cheese. When we arrived, we noticed the temperature inside was warmer than expected. We checked in at the front and got all our cards and supplies for our birthday party. We asked if there was a problem with the AC and the cashier said that they were having some issues because of how hot the heat index was in FL.... After I got all the partygoers set up, I went to check in on the food. It took a while for the food to come out, but when we got the cheese and pepperoni pizza it was cut into very tiny pieces but I figured it was for the kids. The slices were uneven especially the amount of cheese and sauce some slices had cheese and some didn't. When we sat down to eat the temperature was getting hotter it was so warm inside it was uncomfortable. We were literally sweating 40 minutes in. We pushed through to sing happy birthday and see Chuck E. Cheese but after cake we were so ready to go. It was humid and being a closed area with a bunch of people on that heat is not how I wanted to spend my daughter's birthday especially because we booked it inside to beat the heat. The games for the most part worked fine no issues there. Also the ladies bathrooms were disgusting the walls were dirty and even the sinks were too. Not a pleasant experience. read more

I was shockingly surprised at the cleanliness of this establishment and I also loved their invisible stamp system as a safety feature. I hadn't been here in years and came right after school on a Friday for a birthday party. It's wasn't overly crowded and the perfect setting for a quick bday party. The pizza is still good and perfect for the kids. I recommend for a play date, family fun day or even birthday party as long as you go during a time that is not very busy. read more

First time in decades stepping foot inside a Chuck E. Cheese, but we had a birthday party to attend to. Glad to see the good old sketch photo booth is still there and thriving. Pizza is good as always but a little on the more expensive side to what I remember. Overall, birthday was a success and we got to enjoy some fun with the kiddos. read more

Gotta shout out the manager here ! I had my nephew down for the summer who will go to this place everyday if he could . He was sad bc they didn't have the moving friends like his state but oh well. Unfortunately our first visit, we didn't get to see Chuck E bc they were understaffed . Sooo i brought him on a Saturday when I expected it to be a lot of parties and kids. We were told at first that bc they were still understaffed that we wouldn't get to see him this time . Moments later, Chuck E arrived out to dance for the summer beach bash and it made all the kids day. I scored some cool aunt points too ! Thank you again to the manager ! read more

We scheduled a birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese well over a month in advance. The very next day, we called back to cancel due to a change in plans--but we were surprised and disappointed to learn that our deposit was non-refundable and couldn't even be applied toward a future visit (not even for pizza or games). I understand policies are in place for a reason, but it's frustrating that there's no flexibility, especially when we canceled so far in advance. I wanted to share this so other families are aware before booking--make sure your plans are 100% firm, because the deposit is final, even if you cancel within 24 hours. We've had many fun experiences at Chuck E. Cheese before, and I hope they'll consider making their policy more family-friendly in the future. read more

You must wear a face mask and social distancing is a MUST! For your safety, you must take a pic of you and your guests before entering. You also have to get your temperature checked and there is hand sanitizer for you to use. My family and I came here to take my grandkids here for a few hours. They had a blast. They ate pizza, wings and drank lemonade. They won a few prizes, but they were really excited to have played the games and rode on the small rides they have here. We will be back soon if we're in the city. read more

So my little nephew had a birthday party here and it turned out really nice. The food was good and the place was super clean. Games were nice and scattered around the facility. Service was great as well. I would say this place was a 8/10. I would recommend if you have little ones it's a great place to bring them and it's a very relaxed environment. Really enjoyed it here and would recommend. read more

Avoid the @ChuckECheese in Tampa, Carrollwood. The party coordinators are not helpful and the manager complains to customers who ask questions. There are many options for kids parties in Tampa. Save yourself the aggravation and explore those first! read more

The local flyer has coupons the for 1 free unlimited fountain drink with any purchase I purchased an order of regular wings and the coupon was not honored. I was told it was worded wrong and that the coupon only works with the order of a pizza. I'm not understanding why it wasn't honored I didn't make the coupon. This was at the Chuck e Cheese in Wesley Chapel read more

Very sad no tip option using credit cards! Who Carry's cash these days! These poor hostesses dealing with kids for hours and providing all the needs of parties can't get a tip by using a credit card. You go to any normal restaurant and if you have a party six or more tips are automatically included. But a party of 12 plus kids in a restaurant that doesn't have the ability to have a tip option on a credit card is pathetic! I ended up having to drive to an ATM to get cash and come back just to make sure I could leave a tip for my hostess. Chuckie should learn something from all other restaurants, Get with the times. read more

Haven't been here in years and a friend threw her kid a birthday party here. The kids had a blast! It was so much fun and I as weird as it sounds it would probably be a good mommy hang out with your other mommy friends eat a pizza and drink wine while your kids run a muck place... so you can catch like 30 minutes to yourself LOL It's totally understaffed and unloved inside but what chuck e cheese isn't? The part I like the most is that they are high on security. You and your kid are uniquely marked and have to be together when exiting. It's fun it's cheap who doesn't like that? there are always coupons and an easy place for you to let your kids blow off some steam and run around. =) read more

The earlier the better. We came for a birthday party scheduled at 10 am and had the best experience we've had at a Chuck E Cheese. As of December, 2015, every machine was operating, tickets came out of every slot, and the restaurant was in great shape. I don't know how old this place is, but it was the cleanest and best looking Chuck E Cheese I've ever been to. I can't speak to what happens later in the day, but the place was spotless for the party we attended in the morning. The staff was bright and cheery, not hung over and aloof. The parents were clean and respectable, not hung over and aloof. The children were all behaving well. It was surreal. The topper was the pizza. I expected cardboard, and it was slightly hard like cardboard, but it had a great taste of butter and/or garlic on the crust. That was a pleasant and unexpected surprise. I was glad to see that Chuck's band is still together, still doing the same moves and creepy as ever. read more

started out fine until we placed food order. we had advised our 3 little ones that after eating they could use their tokens to play games and play. after waiting for food for nearly one hour, we inquired about food order of 3 french fries and 3 cheese stick orders. we were told another 7-10 minutes. after 30 minues, we again inquired at order desk what was taking so long and were advised the birthday parties came first and there was nothing could be done about the delay. after another 15 minutes the 3 cheese stick orders came out but were not in sticks and partly burned. then the 3 french fry orders came not individually but fries on a platter which did not amount to 3 individual orders, also partly burned. we had also ordered 6 lemonade drinks that tasted like water so we switched to other drinks. no plates provided until we asked for them. your personnel was not apologetic at all. a return to your establishment will not be anytime soon if ever. read more

Don't bother. A medium cheese pizza took 20+ minutes on a slow night, at least three of the rides my daughter tried to go on were broken and the bathroom looked like it hadn't been cleaned in months. The layout is also a bit boxy/compartmentalized so it's hard to navigate around groups of people at times. I definitely recommend going to the Brandon location instead. Much bigger and cleaner. read more

Let's face it...it's dirty and dingy in here and you always leave wanting to shower all the germs off you and your kids like crazy...but isn't that also kind of the fun in it?! We go here for bday parties, and the kids just love it...and if they are happy I'm happy. They have beer, which is fun at the laid back parties when the adults will have a couple beers while the kids run around. I love that they have limited pass wristbands now too...that playtime is awesome. And if you ask the staff to pause the time while they do the hour of eating pizza and cake, they will restart it for you after so you don't waste your money and the kids can run all that sugar off. read more

I have to say that I was a bit apprehensive about taking my grandkids out to celebrate the 1 year old's birthday , but i also want them to be able to enjoy being kids and have fond memories. So THANK YOU to Wynn (sp) and the team at the N. Dale Mabry Chuck E. Cheese for allowing us to do a last minute "makeshift" birthday party for 4. (Complete with table cloth, balloons, souvenir cups, pizza and a appearance from Chuck E.) The pizza was surprisingly good (the grown ups even liked it), the location was clean, there were plenty of hand sanitizer stations (super important these days), and the team was friendly and accommodating. Thanks so much - we will definitely be back! read more

The food is okay, nothing to write home about. But what makes it so fun is watching all of the kids and parents running around and having a great time! read more

Fun place for kids. It's not super costly so good for parents as well. The reason for 4 stars is because some of the games are usually not working. Food is ok not wow but not bad as well. Gifts in exchange for the tokens are slightly costly but that I guess is fine since it's just a bonus read more

Well- the kiddos had fun. So can I really complain? Yep, here goes! Cons: The hallway leading to the bathroom REAKS of mold. Undeniable. Its disgusting. The whole place as soon as you walk in, smelled like feet. This place doesn't have a play area or require kids to take off shoes, so there's no reason for the bad smell. The bathrooms (while they smelled nice) had flies in them and were very untidy. Several of the neater machines were broken. Bummer. Pros- The pizza was really pretty good for what it is. Same goes for the breadsticks. The tables were clean. There was a wide variety of games to choose from. Plenty to keep kiddos entertained. read more

I was pleasantly surprised with mg visit after reading most of the previous reviews. Took my niece and nephew for an afternoon of fun on a rainy day and it was incredible! First... Who can deny the security at this place. Where else can your that you have to check in and out with your party to insure safety of the kids! Secondly, what a bargain this place is! Every game takes only one token so for a very affordable price one can get plenty of food/drinks and tokens to occupy kids for hours! The pizza was surprisingly good! I expected nothing from the food but it was actually quite good! Even though the exterior looks small, this place is actually quite large inside and had ample variety of games for all aged kids. If you have young kids... Get your preconceived notions about chuck e cheese out of your head and give this place a shot... You won't regret it!!! read more

We had great Family fun at this location! Staff was friendly and place was super clean. Stuffed crust pizza is highly recommended. Chucky was there too dancing with the kids, having fun and giving out tickets. Games were very entertaining for kids and adults. read more

Hey, I firmly believe in never loosing the kid in you. I can go to Chucked Cheese & have as much fun now, as I did as a child. The salads, pizzas, games are all right up my alley. I enjoyed the food, not great, but good. Loved the games! Personally I could have done without the kids, but hey one of them had a Birthday, which is why I was there. Good pizza, good salad, great games & a great time. What's a girl to do? Birthdays are Birthdays, so you gotta go where they are. read more

Very hot in there.. they need to do something about the AC, we were literally sweating. Kinda dirty and a lot of the machines are broken. Not a bad place to bring a 2 year old and $10 lasts a long time when it comes to the younger children's games. I'd be scared to eat here. read more

Had a great time with my kids here after a rainy day at Busch Gardens! Very clean location and professional staff!

This place is ridiculous!!! They are always short staffed and the ones that are there do not want to work. Every time I go to this place no one is available to operate the bumper cars. read more

As a parent you tend to have a love hate relationship with Chuck! I definitely have one of those. I was actually happy when my child became old enough to not want to come here. I hated the above ground plastic maze where your child would climb up and explore...you'd hope they didn't get lost and would find their way back down without you having to make the climb or sending a staff member into the beyond to help. You didn't even know if it were clean up there, just hoped so. Well I was surprised to see during this visit that they removed that and now have a bumper car area. It looks somewhat cleaner at the surface and more spaced out. Right now they have unlimited play cards where you pay for the allotment of time and your child can play unlimited times any games during that time. Let me tell you, my child has been addicted to coming here because of that. She gets to rack up the tickets and get bigger prizes. Just in 1 45 minute slot she earned almost 2,000 tickets. She got a Razzles pillow. Love that Chuck lets you pay for the difference if you're short tickets. Only $0.1 per ticket. The staff here is very friendly-- management walks the floor and is great with the kids. If a game isn't giving tickets just find the Manager and he will take care of you. Great inexpensive fun for an afternoon. Oh and did I mention that deal is all week but on Wednesday you get 1 hour for $15!! read more

I actually considered having my 24th bday here, but went with another venue. Why here when the idea of screaming kids makes me super nervous and twitchy? Because the pizza is decent, the beer and wine is cold, so..why not? Let's not down play the awesomeness of being serenaded by an animatronic band comprised of eerily robotic rats and such. Maybe not anymore, but the nostalgia is still there! read more

Surprisingly great experience and the pizza, salad bar and wings were pretty good but a bit on the pricey side. The tables and floors were clean. We went on the Memorial holiday weekend and there were a lot of people there without being overcrowded. There were rides and games for my 3 and 4 year olds as well as games that kept my 13 and 15 year olds entertained too. read more
