Gruesome Place
When you think of places to eat you’re usually not thinking of a place that you’ll leave in such anger, so much that you’ll never want to go back again because of the your experience in which is claimed to be, “a fun place for the whole family”. What is considered when looking for a restaurant is somewhere that will satisfy your stomach. If you have children, you have to think of a place that can not only satisfy the children’s stomach but also satisfy the children themselves. Entertainment is a big winner when taking children out to eat, along with entertainment comes the environment. Chuck E. Cheese is a very popular choice for many children. Although it is high on the chart for children, is it worth it? With the experience I had, I would say no. Chuck E. Cheese is one of the worst restaurants because of the food, customer service, pricing, atmosphere, and the rewards.
 
Usually when arriving at a “good” restaurant, you will have a welcoming greeting and soon after you are seated. When arriving at Chuck E. Cheese, you get a stamp on your hand, and if there aren’t too many people you will be greeted. You have to find your own seats at Chuck E. Cheese, if you’re lucky; you’ll find a table without food from the previous customer. Looking around there are plenty tables open, but they all have a “reserve” sign on them which is supposed to be for a party that isn’t going to arrive for another five hours. When you go, you have to make sure there at least three adults, that way among arriving, you split up to find a seat. If you don’t waste any time looking for a place to sit, you may find a seat within the first ten minutes upon your arrival. That is of course if someone didn’t leave a cup to save the seat.
Finally after finding a seat, you get to order your food. The line you order your food in is tremendously long, there are people surrounding the line while waiting to purchase their prize from the prize line, which are a couple inches away from the food line. It’s horrible, not only are children screaming, which if you’re going to a “family outing”, you’re used to, but you also hear adults screaming at children, which is also a little normal but, you also get to hear adults yelling at adults. It’s not a very pleasant site once the adults begin to argue. The adults seem to act more like children then the actual children themselves. The adults even begin to argue about spots in the line, it ridiculous.
 In hope that the food will be delicious because of the pricing, I ordered three pizzas and a salad bar. Since the wait for the pizza is quite a while, I went straight to the salad bar. It was disgusting. The salad was nice and soggy, and even if you didn’t want a certain topping, it wouldn’t matter because they are all mixed together anyway. The Jell-O is mixed with the ranch and the macaroni salad is mixed with peaches, yummy. After every hour you would think the staff would put new food in the salad bar, but nope. The entire four hours that I was there, the same food remained in that salad.
After forty five minutes of waiting impatiently, you get your pizza. Once you actually take a look at you’re not very cheap food, you will be dissatisfied. The food that you have been waiting for, for what seems like years is not properly done. It’s hardly a pizza, with hardly any sauce. The pizza looks as if the chiefs were making a science project based on volcanoes. Not an erupted volcano, but a dry one that hasn’t erupted in years. Sending the pizzas back for a new order was even worse. You get to wait a whopping sixty minutes. It’s like a new born waiting to get fed, not very patient.
When you’re done eating, you get to play with the “oh so fun” games. There’s hardly any room to breathe. Everywhere you turn you either see a face, back, or butt. Not to mention, adults and children everywhere are coughing and sneezing with lovely running noses. The room temperature in there is unbearable for anyone, it’s almost like being in a sauna. If you’re a young child running around, you’re getting rained on, and not by rain. Everywhere you hear arguing. Most of the arguing is and adult arguing with someone’s child because of false accusation. When Chuck E. Cheese came up with the idea to sell alcohol beverages, they should’ve have thought about the position children are now opt to be in. All of a sudden “a fun place for the whole family” isn’t so when you have a under the influence parent drive children home. Although it may have been fun, for the adults, it’s not so fun for the children. It seems as if no one around cares.
At last, the time has come when you get to collect all your tickets and get a prize. The line you have to stand in is over populated with children. As workers pass by to deliver their orders, they bump you back and forth. All the children in line become fussy and irritated. When your overly excited children get to the front of the line, you get a little excited as well thinking the seventy five bucks you spent should get a good prize. Instead, you get two lovely twenty five cent green spider rings. Yippy, so excited. 
Chuck E. Cheese would not be a place I would recommend to anyone. Everywhere I turned, I found something wrong, or it found me. Although the advertisement catches your children’s attention, the reality of it is a horrible for you and your children. Your children will be glad that you didn’t choose such a crazy restaurant to have such a bitter meal at. Unless you enjoy spending waste less time and money on horrible service, entertainment, environment, and atmosphere, I would recommend you to never step foot In a Chuck E. Cheese.  It was the most gruesome place I have ever eaten at.Reply to Samantha DuarteSend
