No-Bun Burger Bowl: Simple yet delicious.
Todd A.

Not a bad bottom shelf version of Dave & Buster's; the food was great but the arcade was repetitive and lacking, the dining area desperately needed to be cleaned, and the service was just short of being unmentionable. Before the kids let loose with their play cards we ordered a late lunch and that in itself was a process. There was a sign that said "please wait to be seated" yet there was no one there to seat us. Finally noticed the girl at the bowling alley counter observing us so I decided to ask her how we could get a table. She explained to us that the sign was primarily for the weekends and normally people just pick a table. Would've been nice to know before we waited five minutes to ask, but that's on me I guess. Anyway, she got down spraying the rental shoes and led us to a table that had obviously just been used as the napkins and crumbs from the last customer were the only visible tabletop decor. After browsing the menu for a moment I opted for the No-Bun Burger Bowl and my kid went with his standard fare, the personal pan cheese pizza. We were both satisfied with our choices. Ordered a loaded fries appetizer too, but that never ended up on the table as our waitress forgot to jot it down. I let it slide because she seemed more comfortable spraying bowling shoes than taking orders and the place was pretty slammed. Didn't take long to get our food though, that was a nice surprise. By the time it arrived we still had half full glasses and my kids weren't complaining about being bored yet so I'll definitely take that as a win. The pizza was great according to my son and he almost finished the whole thing. The fact that he didn't attributes to the size of this "personal pan" serving. He never leaves leftovers when it comes to pizza and this could have fed both of my kids. He said it's better than Chuck E. Cheese's; that's a pretty grand compliment coming from him. The No-Bun Burger Bowl hit the spot. For obvious reasons I'm trying to cut back on carbs and I haven't been feeling fried food lately. Blame it on age, but the heavy stuff just doesn't sit right with my gut anymore. This deconstructed burger bowl was a lean, hunger crunching delight. The patties were cooked to perfection, crisp on the outside and juicy in the middle. The shredded lettuce bed was mixed with perfectly tangy ranch and the whole thing was topped with purple onions, American cheese, thick cut pickles, and slices of fresh tomato. Seems pretty basic, but the simple flavors combined to create an incredible eruption of taste and summer vibes. This is something simple I'll start making at home. Pricing was fairly decent too. We ended up paying $138 for the four of us and that included $100 of game play for the kids. Not too damn bad!! After a quick trip to the bathroom (which I'll note were semi-clean with minimal urine on the floor) we headed out to the game floor. First thing that called to me was the air hockey table. Swiped the card, no puck. Went to three other tables and did the same thing...no pucks. Great! Asked the service desk about it and...no pucks. That was frustrating. Opted for some skee-ball and hoops. Classics, but boring after a little while. The kids had fun with claw machines and a couple of arcade games but my daughter is obsessed with racing games and considering that was about 75% of what they had, she was in hog heaven. Everything was just so...repetitive. And boring. And everything we've seen before at every other arcade/diner combo trying to capture the success of Dave & Buster's. Wouldn't recommend really, there's better things to do nearby, but if you've got small kids who are still amazed by the lights and sounds, go for it.

A bowling alley, resturant, arcade center all in one! It is a one-stop-shop for all things fun! I had such a fun time here. I went to Main Event to bowl on a Tuesday night, and it was quite busy... I think a company had rented out a few lanes. But, there were still lanes open, and we walked right in and got a lane. For bowling, I thought $30 for an hour was a great deal.. came with the shoes and booth service. Although, our booth server didn't come up to us until we were half way through our time, which I didn't like. Other than that, it was such an enjoyable experience. Our booth area was very clean and the bowling alley seemed very kept up... all the tvs worked, lanes functioned perfectly, no malfunctions. When we were down, we walked around Main Event and saw SO many arcade games, a full blown resturant, and even a ropes course. This place was huge and had so many different areas where you could go. I will definitely be back for more fun and bowling!

While visiting Baton Rouge I found this hidden gem on TikTok! Ambiance was beautiful! Drinks were delicious and strong

Decorated table and Happy Birthday sign for our 8-year-old Payson. (Our "peanut")

Was visiting Baton Rouge with some friends who had their 8-year-old granddaughter with them. Called prior to arrival (twice) and spoke with Brianna (sp) both times. Advised her we were coming on the youngsters actual birthday. She was so helpful and her superior, Christian Legard, were both absolutely amazing! She arranged for us to have a decorated table with a sign for our birthday girl. Also suggested a decorated bowling pin with her name and her favorite characters, Lilo & Stitch. They made an announcement to wish all July birthday folks a Happy Birthday and a special Happy Birthday to our little girl, Payson. Food was great and although they had several groups with parties and events scheduled, made sure that Payson got to try the Ropes Course and play some Laser Tag. Could not have asked for a better day for our "Peanut".

Fun arcade! I just wish that not all games are 7.5 credits no matter what game. Some honestly don't feel worth it.

It was really fun we had so much fun today the go kart was me and my family's favorite and we sure…read morewill be coming back here again.

I've never been to Celebration Station. They had one in Memphis when I was younger but I've always…read moreheard about how fun it was. We decided to come here today, Sunday for the kids after it just briefly rained. A couple of my co workers and their children joined. As soon as we walked in here we were hit with a bit of heat because the ac seemed to not be operating. In addition a couple of the employees were walking with make shift fans. We decided on one of the packages they offered for around 30$ dollars. Of our choosing this included mini golf,go karts, and a $10 game card. We weren't told how the mini golf here worked and had to walk around and figure it out. Again it had just rained so not holding it against them but we choose not to play in particular areas due to the puddles of rain. Digging golf balls from the holes filled with water isn't fun or the cleanliest. The fountain outside wasn't working and didn't appear to be working for some time. It got a bit hot so we went inside to deal with hot ac.. Our kids rode on one game for "8.0" credits and immediately it said "insufficient funds." We went back up to the counter and she had to adjust both of our cards. After our cards had been adjusted they participated in maybe 5-6 games and the cards were empty. Most of the games weren't working so the kids could play together. I asked if all of the games were 8.0 credits she stated it was mixed throughout the arcade. Most of those games are 8.0 credits and the cards went fast. Yet, they want you to continue to put money on these cards for games that are working. The pizza is decent here no complaints. Our other party had arrived and was turned away due to open toed shoes policy. However we weren't told anything for our kids that were wearing opened toed. She went home anyways to change shoes. She also had the same issue with the cards not being loaded properly. It was time to ride the go karts. We make our way over and we see that only 1 family Kart was working and about 3-4 singles riders. We of course had to ride with 3 of our kids and we had to go one at a time due to this which took away the fun and enjoyment out of it. They also seemed to be hosting a birthday and weren't able to accommodate those riders either. The go karts starting stopping in the middle of the rides. We had only rode 1 time due to the large party and were turned away the second time because the karts were down now. Make our way over to the kids karts for 1 kids kart to be working!!! Oh and we had to pay for the kids go kart package for them to only have 1! Kart working. The train wasn't working apparently and the batting cages weren't either. The prizes are trash and you don't get many tickets from the arcade. The money we spent here today would've been a fortune at Chuck E. Cheese, were we will be going moving forward. I don't understand why this place is open this experience wasn't enjoyable for the kids and they all agreed to never come back and they are under the ages of 8. I would like to be contacted for a refund not only for myself but for the other 2 moms in company.
