    Food was pretty good. Wasn't expecting much from an arcade but was pleasantly surprised. The drinks were good as well. Service was quick, zero complaints. I think the bartender Grant was great. They were out of the cotton candy Shirley Temple so he whipped up something fun that my daughter enjoyed. The arcade was fun. Unfortunately no Konami/DDR games which was what we were looking forward to the most. Still had fun. My daughter loved the place so we'll likely return! Great family fun or date nite.

    Came here for a work team building bowling day. We all absolutely had a blast and enjoyed the drinks and service, and of course the bowling. I had a frozen margarita that was surprisingly good! I was not expecting that from a bowling alley. I will definitely be back and want to also do arcade games as we ran out of time.

    Went to Main Event to bowl. This place was super busy. I did not expect it to be this busy since the weather was terrible. We went on a Saturday afternoon/evening. There were kids everywhere, but I was told that they do have after hours events were only 21 years or older are allowed. That would have been more ideal, but we did not know. We went to go bowling. There was about a two hour wait for bowling, which was crazy. But after we signed up and paid on the kiosk, it only took about maybe 45/50 minutes. The staff wasn't really helpful. Every time we ask questions they just advised us to use the kiosk , the answer for everything was used the kiosk. Kiosk really are taken over. While we waited for our lane to become available, we went to the bar and the lady at the bar was overwhelmed. We wanted to sit at the bar, but the bar itself was a mess since it was just her she didn't have time to clean it so we ended up sitting at a table. We got drinks and mozzarella sticks. I had got some kind of slush. It was really good and the mozzarella sticks were exceptional. After drinks, we went bowling, bowling was a whole lot of fun. Everything was already set up when we walked over because when you do it on the kiosk, it already asks you to enter in your names. The bowling shoes are actually really nice. They didn't look worn out, they didn't smell. Would definitely go back for an after hours event.

    Such an awesome idea having our work Christmas party here! So much to do from arcade games, bowling, laser tag, pool and I'm sure there was more I missed. Food or drinks did not skimp on portions or flavor. The margarita flight was SO WORTH IT!!! Every flavor was right up my alley. The service stayed on top of everything. Definitely great coming here during the day on weekdays because I see the parking lots are packed during the weekends.

    This place has okay food but the games are expensive in my opinion. We have been multiple times and I have never seen an employee wipe down the games .

    Great place to have good clean fun. Lots of bowling lanes, arcade games and decent laser tag. They also have pool tables and air hockey games. Not a cheap experience. However the family and I love the time we have together. Would encourage you to check out the Kids Bowl Free program. Ample parking. Friendly staff. Note my rating system: 1 Star: I wouldn't recommend 2 Stars: Didn't hit my standards 3 Stars: Average (nothing special) 4 Stars: Above Average. Would recommend. Still looking for the 5 Star. 5 Stars: Top of their game. Great food. Great service. Would recommend and plan on returning.

    Pepperoni pizza

    Had a great time here to celebrate my sons birthday. I was late in planning his party so we came up early on a Saturday to get a table in the restaurant. Lots of table options from High tops to low tops and booths and bar top. The waiter we had was very nice and tended to us great. Checked in on us a lot. Ordered two large pizzas for the table and they were delicious! The crust was amazing and the pepperoni was ughhhh soooo good!!! I would come here just for the pizza. Main event came out with new wrist bands for $25/each with unlimited laser tag, bowling, and billiards and then we got the kids game cards for the games. The kids kept themselves very busy. The only reason I give the 4 stars is because when you go to purchase the cards for the games and the wrist bands, it's a little confusing navigating what's all included, there should be a little more detail in the descriptions. I still had to ask what was included on certain thing a. Needless to say there was a man close by that you could ask questions too. Just when it gets so busy, could be hard to find someone to help with questions. Overall great experience and well be back for some food and games!

The sports bar had R&B playing moderately loud (but no issues carrying on a conversation). I can only imagine the vibe may be different with larger crowds in the evenings/weekends. The menu is a QR code on the table. They have a large outside covered patio. Lots of TV's inside & outside. The salmon salad was very good. The salmon was cooked just right & very well seasoned. Nice size, generous amount of toppings (eggs, tomatoes, onions) such that I had toppings in every bite with my lettuce. The entire salad, dusted with a cajun seasoning, was a nice touch. Food was served in a metal plate with plasticware & plastic cups. (I'm sure the 'plastic' is helpful for managing the outside dining.) Chef Dee came out to check on us. She saw me taking a picture of my food & playfully said 'hey you gotta take a pic of the chef who created it'. Of course I took her pic!! Based on my salmon salad, I would definitely try other items on the menu if ever in the area again. Try them out. If you don't prefer a crowd, pop in for lunch.

    Whenever venturing around our vast country, I like to frequent businesses that are not found where…read moreI live; naturally, I saw Portillo's (a native business from Chicago) and knew I had to try 'em out! First off, the outside as well as inside of the establishment is beautiful! When you walk in, the restaurant is beautifully decorated; it's a cross between a fast-food establishment and a restaurant dining-style. I believe another Yelper also mentioned that fact as well. One can order in two options: using the self-kiosk, or going to the counter where there is someone there to take your order. Having both options available is rather convenient. For my food, I got the Famous Meal #1: Italian Beef Sandwich. However, I came prepared: it was going to be personalized to be the perfect meal. FIRST: make it big ($2), then add sweet and hot peppers ($1.98), mozz cheese ($.89), and ordered slightly wet. For my sides, I opted for the large onion rings ($4.99), and in addition --- this is A LOT -- I got the famous Chocolate Cake Shake (additional $6.19). If you were going to get a normal meal, it would probably cost you about $14.57. Mine -- with all the add-ons? $26.88. Take that into consideration. How was the food? Portillo's is definitely the experience many Chicagoans have heaped about. The "dipped" Italian Beef Sandwich was generously portioned, and if I had anything to comment-on --- it would be adding more sweet + hot peppers to the sandwich. Besides that, everything else was spot-on. On to that famous milk-shake: if you're a first-timer DO IT. How does it taste? It honestly tastes like a "real" version of a frosty from Wendy's --- taste wise. At least we know what's in this milkshake: Ice Cream, Milk, and a slice of chocolate cake. It was thick, creamy, and hit the spot. All-in-all, I totally recommend Portillo's if there is a location near you! It's definitely an American institution and is worthy of the hype.

You can choose to sit either inside or outside. We went with the Houston Restaurant week menu which features some of their most popular dishes. For the appetizer, we tried the sautéed calamari and gumbo. The calamari had a nice creamy garlic sauce which paired well the sautéed bell pepper, onions, and tender calamari. Their gumbo is solid, not too spicy and had nicely cooked rice and a mix of toppings. The rice had a good bite and absorbed the flavor from the gumbo well. I would recommend the sautéed calamari. For entrees, we ordered the wild caught king clip and steak Diane. The very buttery king clip comes with sautéed spinach and is basted in a creamy, slightly lemony sauce which compliments both elements of the dish. The kingclip is garnished with micro greens and comes with an extra lemon for additional acidity, but I felt that it wasn't needed. The steak Diane had a medium cook and was soooo tender to the bite. I would recommend both, but partial towards the king clip if you want to try something unique! Lastly for dessert, I ordered the passion fruit crème brûlée which had such a unique flavor profile! The tartness of the passion fruit goes surprisingly well with the warm vanilla custard. The texture of the creme brûlée toasted sugar top was perfect as well and added a really nice crunch to every bite. My friend ordered their sticky toffee pudding, which was arguably the best one I've had yet. The toffee syrup is incredibly rich and adds a nice caramelized flavor to the ice cream and moist cake base. It's garnished with bits of sugary crumble and fruit. You really can't go wrong with either, but if I had to pick, their sticky toffee pudding is a must try. All in all, such a fun and intimate dining experience!

We were seated in a booth that felt quite cramped for a business meeting. Next time, we'd likely request a more open, well-lit table. We ordered several dishes, but the Chilean sea bass was disappointing. It was dry, lacked the buttery texture it's known for, and was quite bland. We also requested a side of hot sauce, but that request was overlooked. To end the meal, we planned to order coffee and toffee instead of dessert. After waiting nearly 30 minutes, we were told the coffee machine had broken. Unfortunately, by then the server seemed eager to wrap things up and didn't really give us the opportunity to consider any other after-meal options. Overall, the restaurant has a nice atmosphere and we can see why it's popular, but the food execution and service fell short of our expectations, especially for a business lunch. We hope these issues were just an off day, as we'd like to give it another chance.

This pancake was bigger than my face, and was one of the best I've had in a long time. It was light and fluffy, and had a nice crisp to the top of it as well.

I also had some of their breakfast sausage, which was soooo good, and great to get a two bite in one with the pancake and sausage together!!! I also opted to get the chicken avocado club.

Another server dropped off my meal 30+ mins ago and nobody has come back to check up on me. I wonder how long it will take to get the check. The food is pretty average (I am from NJ so I know what diner food should be like) The service might be the worst ever! I have had better service at Burger King.
