  Main Event is always an incredible spot for fun. The atmosphere, food, and variety of games make it perfect for friends, family, or team nights out. The staff is friendly, the place is clean, and everything feels high-energy and welcoming from the moment you walk in. Bowling, laser tag, arcade games, it’s all a blast! The food and drinks are great too, definitely grab some wings or pizza while you play. One tip: try to avoid bowling lanes 1, 5, and 6. They tend to have some quirks and mechanical issues that can slow down your game. Other than that, the experience is top-notch every time. Highly recommend Main Event, it’s one of the best entertainment spots around!

  I came to Main Event with my 5 year old daughter. Abiut an hour into us veing there she decided she wanted popcorn, so I asked an employee if they sold popcorn. He advised no, but they sell it upstairs at AMC. I then proceeded to ask if I could bring it in. He, the employee, then said yes you can. So I proceed to go to AMC and pay for my daughter some popcorn and return to the theater. I was met by Security who stated that it was against policy that I couldn't bring it into the establishment. Very polite person. He directed me to the Off Duty Officer who echoed his statement. I then asked to speak to a manager to see what could be done since I was given incorrect information by one of their employees. The manager, whose name is Willis, didn't take any responsibility for the employee providing the incorrect information and advised it didn'tmatter what he said but the policy is no outsidefood. And when asked about what could be done since I have this popcorn and drink that I can not bring in nor can we finish our evening now because we have to leave the premises with this food. He stated that it was a gray area. Then proceeded to tell me that there was no gray area and there was nothing he would do and walked off. This experience left me feeling disappointed with the customer service that Main Event in regards to its managers and how they resolve issues. If an employee makes a mistake the establishment should take ownership of that mistake and make an effort to make it right. However this was clearly not the case and Willis is not the representative that you should have representing the company. Please do better Main Event.

  Brought my daughter and friends here to celebrate her birthday on early Friday afternoon. Was let down by the lack of information provided on the process of participating in laser tag and the ropes. If you purchase an unlimited play ticket you will need to make a reservation for a time slot for the laser tag as it may be limited availability. You also have to have a reservation for the ropes. Which I was unaware of until I asked. We were told the ropes start at 5pm and we would be able to start then. We waited until 5pm, no one was there and I learn that a reservation is needed and the actual time it’s starts is 5:20. After eating lunch we wanted to order the big ice cream sundae but was informed that they didn’t have any ice cream to make any of the sundaes on early Friday afternoon noon! Completely disappointed. Was hoping for a better experience to make my daughter birthday super special on her first visit to main event.

  THE MANAGER ON DUTY WAS VERY RUDE AND REFUSE TO PROVIDE SERVICE AND ALLOWED EMPLOYEE TO LIE ABOUT PROTOCOL AND WHEN ASK FOR THE NUMBER THEY FOR CORPORATE NUMBER THEY REFUSE. I actually love coming to MAINEVENT I’m a regular but they disrespect from the MOD was unacceptable and for him to tell me I’m not gonna complain to him about how rude his cashier was unprofessional and definitely one star service MOD was condescending and cutting me off everytime I spoke just a horrible experience please do better this was unacceptable terrible !!!!!

  Worst bowling/arcade/laser tag place I've ever been to. I showed up for the all you can play 15.99 deal I saw floating around on a bunch of ads only to find out that this deal for Fridays past 9pm doesn't exist I ended up spending upwards of 70 for all you can play and the arcade (two separate charges). However, it was a Friday night, and I was looking for a fun time, so I brushed it off as whatever; at least I was in for a fun time! Nope. My group of 4 decided to grab a bite to eat. We found a sign that said "a server will seat you". There was no one around for that; we had to just find a seat ourselves at a table next to another one that had yet to be cleaned off. (Spoilers, our neighboring table full of half eaten food, empty platters, and discarded to go boxes saw as much attention from staff as we were about to get all night.) Getting someone to at the very least get us drinks was a chore on its own. I hardly even knew people were working here. After waiting a full hour and a half from sitting down (30 minute wait to even find someone to take our order) we were served the blandest chicken and the most tasteless, generic french fries. The honey mustard had more character than that food. Oh yeah, don't forget about the exorbitant cost of food tagged onto the experience. Sure, the prices were pretty standard for a fun & games place like Main Event, but I would've been better off eating at a waffle house first. At least then, I'd be served my mediocre food in a quarter of the time we waited. After this, we went to bowl. Here's how that went. Broken pin machines that inconsistently pick up the pins, bowling balls getting stuck behind the pins (at one point we saw 5 sitting back there), no staff being around at all to even help us get our machines fixed or our balls retrieved, and serves shooting us a dirty look just for asking for water (WHICH WE HAD TO WAIT 45 MINUTES TO EVEN GET). Thank god we didn't order food at the lanes; we would have never seen it. We dipped pretty quickly after frame 10, opting to just go enjoy some laser tag. News flash: there may be no line at all, the game ahead of you may have just finished, there may be absolutely NO VISIBLE SIGNS SAYING SO, but you need to reserve a time to do laser tag at the front desk. My group didn't even bother with that due to the service we'd received all night up to that point. Best case scenario: the broken system would just delete whatever reservation we made because of some glitch after the front desk person made it visibly clear how much of a burden we were being just for existing. We said screw it. Let's just go to the arcade. Here's how that went. -Half the time cards didn't work -Machine didn't work half the time No one is working the prize booth (SURPRISE, THE COTTON CANDY MACHINE IN THIS PLACE WAS MORE ATTENTIVE THAN ANY OF THE STAFF) At the end of the night, my friend and I had hit the jackpot on one of the machines. However, it was close to closing, and the machine was still counting. We asked a worker if the points for winning were loaded on the card already or we had to wait for it to finish counting. He gave us an inaudible answer and just walked away like it wasn't his problem. The machine shut off before it finished counting our points. We asked a guy at the front desk if we would get the jackpot points we earned. He said "yes, come back next time to cash out." There will NOT be a next time. The bathrooms were absolutely disgusting. It was very clear that no one was in charge of cleaning them. Scratch that, no one had EVER been in charge of cleaning them. That sticky sensation on the bottom of my shoes will forever haunt me. There was one staff member who actively tried to help us get served. She was very sweet and could not do so directly because she was in training, but she definitely helped to get someone to at the very give us the time of day. I don't know who she was, but she was a true saint in that god forsaken place. DO NOT GO TO THIS LOCATION. Your money is better spent at Dave and Buster's or Andretti 10 minutes away
