    I'm a big fan of Main Event. We had one open near us when we lived in Phoenix and I was sad to leave the fun behind. My husband and I went here for part of a daytime date when it was less crowded and that was a good choice! Had our pick of games to play. We tried to pay at one of the two card kiosks but neither worked, unfortunately. This place can be slightly overwhelming with so many shiny things begging for your attention (especially in the arcade area), but some super cool and unique game options like a virtual reality Star Wars game mixed in with the old reliables, like skee ball. There is the awesome arcade area but is also bowling, laser tag, gravity ropes, pool tables, a bar, a restaurant, etc. Pretty all-inclusive for fun regardless of age group. Kids even eat free on Tuesdays in the dining area.

    It's wonderful that there's now a place for teens and preteens. When my kids were growing up, the options were just movies or swimming. It nice to have something fun for the older kids. We went to main event for my grandson's Birthday party. The kids all had fun playing laser tag, bowling, and video games.

    Haven't been here in SO long and luckily there wasn't a crowd..so no waiting list! Went in to bowl and it was great! There's an desk area where you choose which activity you want to do, there's different prices per hour so check the prices/hours before committing. Great good, service and fun experience. You're assigned a booth, and you take a picture, which shows up when you start bowling. See photo.

    I didn't eat the food because it was hella expensiv. the service was really good! the amb was dull but not bad! Dave and busters is better

    A group of four of us went to bowl for two hours. With shoe rental, it ended up costing $80, which was a little pricey. The lanes are also VERY close together... a party ended up right beside us and everyone found it a little tight and awkward. We had a nice server, but hard to find. Much faster to go get drinks from the bar. The food was really good! I recommend the cheesy fries. The bowling mechanisms worked flawlessly, which is always a concern at the cheaper and much older bowling alleys. Overall, we had a great time and plan to return one day.

    Been here a few times and it is alright. The food can be good sometimes as well as the staff. Overpriced a little bit though.

    Cazzy's is snazzy! It's a solid place with a good menu, slightly more upscale Americana…read more I ordered the spicy pork bowl. I liked the sauce on the pork and the sunny side up egg brought a good amount of yolk into the dish. Everything mixed well with the sesame flavored cucumbers and jalapeños. The rice was pretty plain but paired with everything else it was fine. I think I'll try one of the salads or power bowls next time, as they come highly recommended! I also had a bite of the smoked salmon from the power bowl and a bite of the chicken piccata. I normally don't like chicken piccata but the lemon and caper flavor did not overpower and the angel hair pasta was very soft. A bit on the pricier side for a lunch but I enjoyed what I had at Cazzy's. I hear both locations are very consistent as well.

We did not have any drinks but the offerings cover the local, standard and top shelf tastes. The staff is even invited to events to learn about food and drink parings. Lunch was grab and eat. It was very quiet becasue we were well past the lunch rush and before the early dinners. I needed something more than a salad or bowl even though several were tempting. Not always a burger guy, but a bison burger will draw my attention. You don't see bison much in TN. Delicious. Juicy enough I needed an extra napkin. The second reason I chose the burger was for the carrot fries. I don't ever remember having them before or even seeing them. Their good, no reason they can't be a replacemnt to traditional fries and they don't "sag" as much as sweet potato fries. In my case, the kitchen put potato fries on the plate rather than carrot fries. Our server, Daniel noticed it and brought out a separate plate with proper side. Great service there. Another upgrade is that seasoning on the fries. There are several different ones and they differ byt the dish and fry. It was fun to compare the difference on the plate. So, cazzy's is not at diner but a fine gastropub.

    Oh boy! What a treat. My girl and I each enjoyed a wonderful breakfast bowl. Plenty of food to fill…read moreyou up, too. We sat at a high top table, and shared it with three gentlemen. Unfortunate for me though, I had to sit right under an air conditioning duct. I bet that the gentlemen were wishing that it was my girlfriend who had that seat. (I think you get the points.) Our meals were as fresh as can be, and tasty too. We had no problem cleaning our plates. It was fairly crowded when we got there. But if you don't mind sharing a table, you'll find a spot for sure. There's outside seating if you like. Quick Tip: Get there early, or get there late, cause if you get there during prime chow down, you'll be lucky to find a seat. Even the cold zone will be occupied.

You order at the counter, grab a number, and find your own table, though most weren't clean when we arrived.

Staff was sweet, just seemed overwhelmed. The food itself was good. The goat cheese and pepper jelly were a great combo, and I personally loved the apple butter, though my partner thought there was too much. Overall, good food if you have time to wait.

Cocktails were well done and the wine pairings recommended astute. Nothing to complain about except some of the items were cold - there was one person serving the entire bar and restaurant and obviously had some timing issues. Also some attitude: after delivering cocktails to my wife and me he forgot her mom's - after I reminded him he said "oh I know" and then proceeded to serve four other patrons' order at the bar and then another two top's before even starting hers. It finally arrived after the cold mushrooms were delivered. I'm chalking this up to a short staffed situation and a specific individual, so if you live nearby or are traveling through looking for a nice spot for dinner or lunch I would definitely recommend. The environment is also very pleasant with a nice bar and dining room of high top tables.
