What parents say
"Went during the weekend with my kid and some of his friends. We had some pizza & funnel fries. Very delicious food. After the kids had some fun and got some things from for the points they had. All the kids left happy and full. My kid told me later that evening he had a great time!! Sucess!!"

"Really fun day with the company. I used to come here when I was a kid, 20 years ago, and it's been significantly improved, and incredibly clean compared to years prior. Loses a star because the pizza is the worst pizza I've ever experienced. It barely qualified as food. Dry bread with tomato sauce, flavorless cheese, and chicken chunks that had been freezer burnt. At least it was hot, I guess."

"We had a great time for my son's birthday. Our hostess was awesome, and she did really great meeting my needs. I believe treating everyone with kindness and respect goes a long way with receiving exceptional service. We were impressed with the quality of pizza and sliders and more menu items. All the kids had fun and didn't want to leave."
