Went here for a birthday party and even though the service was super slow, we had a decent experience. Our three year old liked bowling, laser tag, and the games. We had purchased credits to play more arcade games but decided to save them for another time since it was getting late and the crowd was on the older side. We came back the next weekend in hopes of eating and playing games but were quickly turned off by numerous games not functioning properly. I went up to the desk at least twice requesting credits for several different games. If this happens... repair them? Put a sign on them? Something. After that experience we decided it wasn't worth eating there and probably wouldn't ever go back as a family. read more

Main Event Warrenville - Do you wanna know the problem to this photo there's no one there - Arcades Near Me - Warrenville, Illinois

I originally called to ask about buying passes for the activities. I was bringing 7 boys. I ended up doing a teen birthday party package. It was a lot cheaper and came with food. There is no room, the food is set up while you bowl. It was perfect, because my son wanted to hang out with his friends and not do a party. They did laser tag, pool table, ropes and 2 hours of arcade. read more

Kyla was not only super funny but she was also nice and efficient I could really tell that she cared!

Ariel and Paul were so sweet! It was so much fun and you got a lot for what you pay. Only 4 stars cause Lilly was rude. But everything else was perfect for our friends birthday. read more

Main Event Warrenville - Great vibes - Arcades Near Me - Warrenville, Illinois

Went there for a family Christmas party and was very disappointed. We were told food would be at 5 PM, then when we got there was told it would be at 7. The staff did a great job at getting the food out in time, and did give us a couple pizzas to hold the kids over so I am happy about that. Many of the games did not work with our game cards, and we were there until 8 but the cards couldn't be used after7, so most were able to bowl while the rest of us stood around. I he workers did not seem to know what to do and were not to interested in trying to help us out. read more

Friends and I were looking for a nice post-dinner spot to chill. I didn't expect it to be busy since we came around 9pm and didn't leave until closing (on a Wednesday night too!!). I would still opt to go later in the night though, since it isn't as hectic as during the weekends or day when families come to enjoy the place. I was a bit hesitant when my friends suggested to get food here. We had just come from dinner, so I was still pretty full. I can't believe I almost said no though! We dug into some killer nachos and spinach artichoke dip - perfect munchies. Seriously, those nachos were stacked, and the dip was so creamy and delicious. it vanished in seconds. Would definitely recommend! We mainly spend our time bowling but if that isn't your thing there are plenty of other activities to do! They have a wide range of arcade games, billiards to laser tag. I saw that they event-hosted events for team bonding if your company is looking to do that! The staff was nice and chill. The area was pretty well maintained, so I appreciated that they stayed on top of cleaning. read more

A TIME WE HAD! Bowling, arcades games, drinks, foods, pool tables, games for the little ones and pre teens. Celebrating a sisters birthday was a freaky ball!! Pizza was the go to! Pretty expensive. From the floor games to bowling to laser tag. It was definitely a good time! read more

Don't go here - my husband and I came in at 2 on a Saturday afternoon - just wanted to play some billiards and bowling - when we got there they said it would be about an hour wait for an lane - which was fine we put our name on the wait list. They only have three billiard tables so we were lucky to snag one of those and was told there were waitresses. There was one waitress who was clearly overworked and won't make eye contact. The tables around us were dirty and disgusting and stayed that way the entire time we were there. My husband went up to the bar and waited awhile and was completely ignored. After playing billiards for over an hour and seeing lots of empty bowling lanes we checked in with the front desk and was told again it was an hour wait. Not sure what the problem is at this place: not enough staff? Poor management? At that point we demanded a refund as we had invested in a full-day wrist band that they couldn't honor at this point. The front desk even agreed with us and provided the refund. Kind of a waste of time . Go somewhere else. read more

Overly priced and horrible service. Almost every food machine was out of order as well as several games. I asked how to get help at the ice cream scoop register and was told we had to sit at a table. We waited to be seated for over 15min until I stopped someone to ask for a seat. Then it took them 50min to bring our food and was told that 3 out of the four things we ordered was out, so we waited another 30 min for the replacement, which was just fries and mac and cheese. They forgot the silverware to eat the mac and cheese so by the time we tracked someone down to get a spoon, the mac and cheese was already cold. It seems like the bar had better service than anything else, so if you want to go there for drinks, maybe it's fine, but not for family food or games. read more

My brother decided to treat the family to an Xmas present and invited us here. When we arrived the place appeared clean and organized but there was very little direction. We accidentally sat in an a seating area to later discover there were no waiters to serve that side. Low manpower. We used our restaurant street senses and relocated to the area closer to the bowling lanes. Food quality was good as we got wings, burgers, pizza, chicken sandwiches. Pretty delicious. SERVICE eventually went down to one server for the entire floor. One bartender for the entire bar. It was really long wait times to get anything. Games exciting. Food was delicious. Service was nice when attentive but very slow and painstaking. read more

Main Event Warrenville - Bowling. Food. Fun. - Arcades Near Me - Warrenville, Illinois

The people who give this place 5 stars are on crack. I am genuinely disappointed and sad with how this place was butchered. The service here was little to none, wait lists that last a year and a half, and worst of all? They have a poor guy, slaving away in the back room named Justin who has to respond to each of these. Poor guy, he deserves better. read more

Came Here For My Birthday....Half Of The Games Were Broken Or Not Working Correctly. Especially The Racing Games. The Skiball Game Wasnt Working Either. The Game Speakers Were So Loud As Well! Almost Blew A Ear-drum Trying To Play The Games. Ive Been To A ME In Other Locations, And This Sadly Was Not A Good One. read more

Came in it was only two workers but they were super awesome and tending to everyone in a good amount of time. Fun games bowling and drinks good overall time! read more

Quality of food isn't very good. Felt like I was at chucke cheeses. Fine for children but not adults. Bowling alley is so noisy and all the screens distract the people trying to bowl!!! Take down all the tv screens in the bowling alley, shut off all the flashing lights, and turn down the music so we can have a chance of bowling our best, rather than worst game. So disappointing. I felt like everything in this place was competing against me. read more

Yikes. We visited this Main Event while visiting our friend who lives near Aurora, and it was so disappointing compared to others we've been to. The biggest red flag was the fact that the bathrooms were located down a very dark hallway with very little signage. I literally felt like I was in a horror movie as I tried to find them. And they were disgusting and in need of major cleaning and probably plumbing help. Several of the machines were broken and unplayable without any signage, which seems like a hazard for a place meant for kids' birthday parties. We had at least three machines take our credits without working. The ski ball machines were missing the balls but would take your credits. So would some of the other games that required throwing balls at objects to earn tickets/tokens. The air hockey table would not return the puck on one of the sides. We were able to get it unstuck by sliding a pen in the return, but sometimes that would trigger the scoring system. Listen, I'm aware that this is meant to be more for kids, but sometimes it's fun to be nostalgic and play games that we played in our childhood. I would NOT host a child's birthday party here. Also, several kiosks to purchase credits and see your tokens were broken. Overall, extremely disappointing. read more

First time visiting and sadly, also my last. Came in a Friday night with a few adults, one teen and two smaller kids and we had a hard time finding a table to accommodate us. When we walked in there were only high tables and had to ask two different servers where a regular table was and they just pointed in the direction. We had to put two tables together to accommodate our group which we had no mind doing. The waitress was nice but seemed kind of new so wasn't sure about some things when we asked questions. There were frozen drinks listed on their menu but she said their ice machine doesn't work that well so they didn't offer frozen drinks, but yet they did offer regular slushies. Food was not great. Nacho cheese was comparable to great value cheese (the shredded kind melted) and the chicken did not seem fresh on anything. Drinks were pretty good though, I had a strawberry marg. Majority of the machines at this place are very old and didn't work. There's no cash options so we bought a card for games and swiped at each game, which we like a lot better. But the problem was some of the games were broken and they'd take our swipe but not allow us to play. We tried three diff times before being able to use the air hockey tables too, which sucked because they cost a lot of points. I honestly felt like I wasted a lot of money because of this. Pretty clear this is just a teen spot on the weekends/week nights because a lot of teens showed up a bit before we left. Way too expensive for what this place offers. Def don't recommend. PS. Also want to add we didn't try the extra things they offered (bowling, etc) so I can't speak on any of that. This review was just about the food and arcade areas. read more

My experience was so much less than desired - and expected. I arrived on a less-than-hectic Saturday in march. Immediately I had concerns. For one, it was right in the middle of march madness. NONE of the TVs in the bar had on any games - only the pregame footage. I asked the manager to turn to the Duke game. I was flabbergasted when they said they couldn't turn to it because their multimedia remote was broken. On top of that, three people from my party hit up the bar. The bartender was nowhere to be found! I noticed others waiting as well. They said they had been waiting for well over ten minutes. My sister and I ended up going across the street to target and grabbing two bottles and bringing them back to share. The bar was virtually inoperable. Yet another issue is, I placed my order for the bowling alley at 2:45p. I was told it'd be 1-2.5 hours. My party noticed large gaps of inactive lanes - 30-minute gaps. I didn't receive a text until 7:47p when I was already back home! Absolutely madness! The ONLY reason I'm leaving 2-stars instead of 1 is that no matter what food we ordered, everything came out within 15 minutes. Also, we got the kids 300-point game cards for $50 (the average arcade game is 7 points). Those cards lasted those kids forever! They had a blast! read more

I came in on a Friday night. My review is only based on the areas that I experienced. 1. Bar Service was quick. I just ordered 1 beer and I had fast service . I was able to bring my drink into the arcade area. 5/5 2. Arcade So many broken games that would not read the play card. It was quite crowded with both kids and adults. It was super noisy. It was an ok time for something to do. 3/5. read more

Sam is the best worker was so helpful and helped us get points and helped us with bowling

I forgot to do my review. On Saturday May 17 We made it to main event at about 4:30 ish and purchased the all day unlimited passes for the kids so that they could do all of the activities multiple times until we were ready to leave. We hear over the speaker that they will be closing early at 8 for a private party. When we bought our passes no one mentioned anything to us about them closing early there were no signs out of anything. They literally ripped us off because mind you they have to wait until each attraction starts before they can do them and some had wait times. The cashier refused to give me any of my money back or get a manager for me to speak with. I'm never going back to this location again. read more

Second time visiting ME in Warrenville. It's just ok, long story short. We made reservations online, super easy btw. Get there a few mins before our lane time, some nice kid checked us in. Got to the lane, and started bowling. I'm not a professional at all, but the floor was so dirty you couldn't even try to slide your foot a little. It's part of bowling, the foot slide. Sticky floors, not only at the foul line, but the tables and seats where you wait your turn. Dirty, grimey ass floors that haven't been mopped in what seems like a decade. Some people starting bowling next to us, and I could hear the ball return grinding like something was stuck inside. You would think it'd be a nicer experience for $40 some dollars, nope. I probably won't be back to this dirty bowling alley again. I'd much rather go to an old school alley and have more fun. read more

I have been waiting for 50 minutes for 1 only 1 batch of fried pickles this ruined our day.i was starving the whole time playing bowling and nothing came out besides my coke.the chef needs to do something about this. The 2 nice kind ladies at the front were very sweet and helpful. But the food problem needs to be fixed read more

Quite some time ago, I held a birthday party here for a child. I thought it was disorganized, too rushed and not worth the price that was paid years later I go with a group and it was the same thing. The food was ice cold none of the games gave out tickets half of the games weren't working we were supposed to get two games of bowling. We didn't even get to finish one and the bathrooms were flooding. The other bathrooms that did work, none of the soap dispensers worked, so I guess everyone is walking around not washing their hands after going to the washroom which is delicious, Don't you think? I don't even know how this place is still in business. The floors are than stickier than anything. Like literally to the point if you stand there, you get stuck there and you can't move ! It's just disgusting. We couldn't even bowl there were about 12 kids or more that kept coming into our lane while all the parents sat there giggling and laughing, not teaching them proper etiquette that other people are here as well. I understand they're there for their fun as well, but we cannot enjoy the time that we paid for. It just was not enjoyablein anyway and I'm not coming back that's two times and both were the same experience and the prices they charge here are absolutely not worth What you get too bad round one is not still open at Stratford read more

The majority of the machines in the arcade didn't work, the bumpers for bowling lane four didn't work, and the chips tasted expired. Customer service was great though read more

Went there tonight for my grandson's bday, the place was filthy, Our shoes were sticking to the floor. There was garbage everywhere. I told somebody, but they didn't seem to care we left and will never be back read more

I don't not recommend this place me and my family went there for a night out and we were racial profiled the whole time we were there. We were harassed and followed around by security from the time we step foot in there. The whole staff was off. read more

went here with my friend on August 10, absolutely horrible. we payed for an hour of bowling, and our lane was glitchy. we told them, they added extra time, but it was still a bad experience, floors felt like they were gonna break, atmosphere was horrible. and the water tasted like sewage water. we left 20 minutes in. never coming here again. read more

Wow what a nice huge place to bring your friends and family for some good time. We came here with our friends and their kids and nephews on Monday because they have a special going on. It is so convenient because you get to play 3 different games for less than 12 dollars per person bowling and games. The food there looks so delicious and also the drinks we end up just getting pizza by the slice and drinks because we were going out for dinner after that but trust me the food looks amazing. What surprised me here is the that they have TOO MANY young employees doing nothing just sitting by the pizza place and NOT working I think is a waste of money or out the young kids to WORK validate that they will be getting a check for sitting down and not producing. read more

Main Event Warrenville - Arcades Near Me - Warrenville, Illinois

Games are fun, staff is not great long wait times. Food is a joke if you're playing games and want to get something. Where you order no one there to take order for food. I had to go to where you check In for bowling so they can charge me for a couple soda drinks. The soda machine only had a couple drinks working no kidding. The rest came out like seltzer water. For bowling the lanes had food stuck on the ground and was very pricey. Some of the video games was out of order too. For the price not worth it. read more

We had my daughter's birthday party here on a busy Friday night in the middle of the holiday season and I can't say just how amazing the service was! From the party hostess being kind and efficient, to great food, my kid had a birthday to remember! Definitely worth the cost and we will be back! read more

They should call it "time out" because half of the games were out of order, staff was impossible to find and slow, and food service was...seemingly absent. The kids were still happy-ish as they could spend hours at a claw game, but I wanted to claw my eyes out. And the handful of people working seemed like they REALLY did not want to be there. It was sort of a sad place. read more

I came here on a Saturday Night to celebrate one of my Yelpers Birthday. I walked into a mass of people standing around in the lobby. This place is insane on the weekends. I was happy to see security at the front entrance. I'm not going to lie I was a bit hesitant about this place. But it turned out nice and I had a ball playing laser tag. Just imagine a bunch of adults running around screaming and laughing. The package that she had for her party was amazing. The buffet spread was set up so nice and the food was good. It was all you can get from 8PM until 10PM it was way more than enough samples of food. We were even giving a $10.00 Game Card to play games after laser tag. Our server was very attentive and made sure we had plenty of food, utensils and beverage in our section. The package even included a game of bowling. It is pretty nosy and a lot of people of all ages walking and running around this place. Its a nice place to come out and have fun with the family or your friends. read more

Worst place ever. The food was horrible. No plates, no utensils and no napkins. Couldn't even get a drink. Bar was not open when we got there. They told us 5pm. No one even showed up until 5:45. Then the bartender was the slowest bartender in history. I would definitely NOT recommend going here. The shoes looked like they'd been run over by a truck a thousand times. The lanes were constantly messing up. I could go on and on. Just don't go here. read more

overpriced bowling 4 people with shoes 1 hour is $54 plus had 4 issues while bowling with malfunctioned equipment should have given us credit guy at the desk was useless also food is way overpriced for quality you get better off going to Culver's or McDonalds read more

This was a nice location. My wife and I went bowling and played some games for her birthday. The bowling was great. The laser tag was nice. Everything was working and clean. Our server for food never came back to check in on us or to offer refills on drinks but she was still pretty nice. Overall this is a great place to bring the family. There is also a cool movie theater next door. We went to that as well. read more

Decided to take the kids out on New year's eve and came across this place. Super awesome place for kids and adults. Bowling, laser tag, gravity ropes, virtual reality games, arcade, wall climbing, miniature golf, great food and drinks. They have it all. I plan i'm going back with just adults and bowling and maybe watch some sports. There was this awesome waiter her name was A'lexis, she was amazingly friendly and helpful. read more
