Chuck E Cheese's

I only go when kids ask.  Absolutely horrible food. Layout is crowded - easy to lose your kid.

Food, eh, fun-ok, yea.  I got to give them thumbs up for the ladder/tunnel area in the back.  No tokens required and physical activity like no other.  I think my 4 year old had the most fun there.  The games are pretty fun too, with a handful of machines in there that give you a pretty decent chance of winning 20+ tickets on them.

There's a pretty gnarly racing game that people have the habit of setting their tokens on top of this sloped ledge while playing.  With a little audacity (and a plastic fork or knife), you're bound to dig up about 5 bucks worth of tokens from behind that thing.

The internet is a ablaze about Chuck E Cheese being the new fight club! So I do some push ups, and sit-ups in preparation because I promised the kiddies we could go and I had some coupon for 2 pizza 4 drinks and 2 million tokens!

So I show up and ask for Tyler Durden of course the girls at the front says she doesn't know, OK i say "I understand" and wink, she shoots me a like ok weirdo! I imagine she has a black eye and fat lip for good measure. We place our order and get our wheelbarrow of tokens, of course the kiddies fill up with carbonated sugar and then run off to play what ever beat down game that Chuck E still has. I strategically pick a corner table so I can have the lay of the land, and you know what its just a bunch of kids going ape shit for games and the play land!

What a gyp man MSN, Yahoo and CNN all had stories about Chuck E Cheese being a wild west fight club and I came here and all that happened is my kids had fun, we ate some marginal pizza while drinking a gallon of soda.

We will be back, but for my money Chuck E Cheese was way better back in the day with animatronic characters and the shows they used to put on. For now Tyler Durden has ducked me but I will keep a eye out and follow the first rule!
