They better not change those bread sticks, pretty much the only good thing on their menu right now

Dave and Busters has adults and Peter Piper is better place for a family party that has multiple adults considering they have better food, beer, and sports on TV. I went to Chuck E Cheese last year and it was pretty gross and outdated.

I'm amazed that they've been able to stay relevant enough to still be in business.
My friend once confided in me that he has had a fear of the chef since childhood.

They changed them.
They usually buy out smaller competitors like they did with The Discovery Zone.

Not in my town. Don't know how old we were... I was probably 16 or 17 and they wouldn't let my friend and I in. Our movie was sold out and we were trying to kill some time.
I now remember why I used to stay the fuck away from the stage as a kid.

None of this matters considering I don't have a kid to take with me. Letting adults without kids in to play on the arcade machines would be a good way to grow sales while targeting adults.

I haven't been to a Chuck E. Cheese in about 10-15 years. I did one party there as a kid.
In the North Texas area most of the b-day parties I went to were at Celebration Station.
Mini-golf, arcade, go karts>>>>>>>>>>>>>>animatronic rat king and his shitty pizza.

The idea that someone would pick Chuck E. Cheese as the place to grab a take out pizza is certainly a brazen one. Let's see how it plays out for them.
Thanks Obama.

I have no idea what some of you are talking about. They put the stamp on everyone going in and check it on the way out. I'm a guy and have taken my kids to different Chuck E Cheeses a gazillion times alone and have never been checked except when leaving. And I'm not even the same race as my son (China adoption) so it's not like he looks like me.

In Minneapolis as a kid, we didn't have Chuck E. Cheese. Instead, we had Circus Pizza which was pretty great. Now as an adult and with with Circus long gone, Chuck E. Cheese has infested the Twin Cities for the better part of 15 years. Without the nostalgia to fog my experience, I can confidently say this place is utter shit. Horrible food. High prices. Crappy games. Also, my son and his friends could've given a rats ass about the characters (pun intended).
Dave and Buster's is no prize, but a hell of a lot better for kids and adults alike. I can drink beer, get a double cheeseburger with some points for $15, and it has a row of these bastards:
Which, honestly - the kids love as much as I do.

I had no idea Chuck E Cheese had beer. I don't think I'd want to pay whatever they're asking for whatever beer they have though.

I went to Chuck E. Cheese for the first time in like 20 years back in February for my nephew's birthday party. The pizza was god awful like somebody slathered pizza sauce and cheese on a cardboard box and threw it in an oven.
My dad used to work for them years and years ago as like the head account for the region or something.l, so we always used to go when I was a kid. It's really changed from being this kind of dingy place with nightmarish animatronics and a guy in a tuxedo rat suit to... just something with no character or personality in general. I didn't like it. I guess I'm looking l back in it with nostalgia though, of course haha.

Several people have been shot at the nearest Chuck E. Cheese to my house. I am never going anywhere near there.

Mother of..is THAT what goes on nowadays? My kids practically lived at Chucks for a couple of years (it was blocks away, and I sucked at saying no to my little girl). That was about a decade ago. I'd flip out if I got that treatment..fuck that.
Not gonna say I don't get it, but nah..

Most of their locations are shady. But the one I went to as a kid had multiple levels and a dimly lit arcade cool vibe. I loved it. The ones I see now are really small and brightly lit, so you can see all the grossness.
I did take my fiancee there for Valentine's Day though. Don't judge me! She had never been to one and I thought it would be a quirky, fun time. It was a decent enough time. Food was terrible. They did serve wine though. Wasn't great either.
And no pedophile checks on us.
Also forgot to mention that I was very disappointed with the game selection. All stupid ticket lottos. Where is the 6 player X-Men arcade cabinet of my youth?

It was about 9-10 years ago so I don't know if they serve beer anymore. It was like 5 bucks for a 24 oz cup with a two drink limit.
Edit: hell yeah they still do, and pitchers as well! I know where I am having my birthday next.

Those breadsticks as a kid were fucking great though. They should sell them in stores....
Chuck E Cheese has been getting destroyed by Dante's so they need to up their game if they want to survive.

Jesus.
I think I had only been to Chuck E. like once, and it was when I was really, really young. I don't think I paid any attention to the stage and just wanted to play video games.
Maybe I suppressed the memories, but that shit is legitimately nightmare fuel.
And then seeing them compared to the FNAF animatronics side by side like that, eesh. No wonder.
