    The general manager Anita is one of the worst managers I’ve ever had the experience of knowing. She’s run off a ton of good staff including managers that were incredibly good people and kept staff that treats people terribly. This place is poorly managed and poorly cared about where customers are concerned. She’s also passing around Clamydia to other staff members and customers. It’s disgraceful and gross that they allow this woman to be in charge of anything. This center also has huge water bugs that crawl throughout the entire place, they steal from their employees, and over the summer they had about 20 teens bring in guns and they handled that situation very poorly. Staff and customers were put in danger. Their mic system was down and they did not have people exit the building while trying to get this under control. Instead they kept serving alcohol and letting things run as normal while other employees were terrified and customers concerned. In such a serious event, you would think things would be handled much better but they were not. This center needs a serious change.

    We have been going to this Main Event for almost 10 years and have usually had great experiences. We took our children last night and were extremely disappointed. The employee who walked us to our lane reeked of marijuana so much so that my kids were asking what that smell was. The service was pretty slow and upon receiving our order of loaded fries, we were presented with cold fries with cold shredded cheese on top. My husband respectfully asked the server if we could have the loaded fries we ordered (bacon, sour cream, chives) and she responded in a very annoyed tone, “That’s them.” and didn’t bring a replacement. We kept having to go up to the bar to get service, but waited over 10 minutes as nobody was there. Then the bartender returned smelling very strongly of marijuana. After our game of bowling we went to play games. Both air hockey machines were broken (we realized after swiping our card), the soccer Simpson’s game was broken. My kids were so disappointed they were spending swipes and very few things were in service. We asked 2 employees and they just shrugged and said, “sorry we are short staffed.” We eventually were able to find one employee who comped our kids a ride since many things were out of service. Was very disappointed in the amount of employees who were using drugs at work in a family environment and the level of service we received. We will be going to pinstripes from now on.

    Great place to have a kids birthday! Great food and the prices was awesome! A lot of bang for your buck! Would have been 5 stars but it was hot in the party room.

    This is the cleanest Main Event I've ever been to. The games were all working, prize area was well organized and stocked. I went to 3 other main events in the area this past month and they were all a mess. I come for the games and the other ones had broken machines or faulty mechanics in the ticket games. I didn't find one broken or fault machine here. I would take my friends to this one even though the drive is a little further because of how much nicer it is. The manager, Destiny, was super nice as I had to compliment how well maintained the place was. I love arcades and travel and always visit all the arcade and this was one of the best I've visited.

    I needed to keep my grandson and my nephew occupied for an hour and a half. This was the perfect answer they had just enough time to play enough games to win tickets to go and buy a small amount of candy.

    A great place to spend a good quality time with your family and friends. The place is always clean and the employees are very friendly and professional. Highly recommended...

    We had my son's 20th birthday party here. It was so much fun. The party host was attentive and friendly. Bowling was great. The teens and younger adults loved laser tag and the arcade. Us parents enjoyed the pool tables and shuffle boards games. It my sons girlfriends idea. We had never been here before so we didn't know what to expect. We were very pleasantly surprised to say the least. The food was good. Pricing was good too. Definitely would recommend!

    Great atmosphere! Something to do for the entire family. Shout out to Caliph for providing an amazing experience for my family during our game of bowling! Caliph was attentive to our needs, provided service in a timely manner and his personality was very welcoming! Thank you!!!!

    Spent the evening here with my partner. We had a great time bowling and gaming. The service was friendly but an issue with the key card took awhile to be resolved, and a few arcade games seemed to glitch, which is why a rating of 5 was not given. Will be returning soon!

    First of all it’s frustrating that the company is not transparent about their prices on their website. The good is that there’s a lot to do and the prices are midpoint. Our visit was on a Saturday night so it was pretty busy. Because we got the all game package we got to play laser, billiard, and bowling almost with no wait in between. However, we had to ask for a server several times even when the bowling lanes weren’t that busy. Then at the end of the game we kept asking for the bill and we got it almost 30 minutes later! Also the restrooms were smelly, didn’t seem they clean them as often as they should. Overall it was a good experience they just need to staff appropriately.

    Had a team building event planned for Dutch Bros employees... Thank you for accommodating our party to get us exclusive game passes and minutes to bowl! Most of us had a blast and enjoyed the bonding experience Main Event created 💙 Come see us at our new McPherson location! Only advice would be to fix y'all's queso recipe. Our chips and queso were really runny and didn't taste the best. However, our pretzels were on point! Thank you!

    Great place to go bowling and not too expensive. They even give you free socks when you forget yours. Of course they are really cheap and have no shape and they’re very uncomfortable but free socks are free socks.

    Fun place for the family. Lots of variety of games. Pizza line was packed with a large group so we couldn’t eat:/ the line was super long. So kids were a little sad about that.

    Kids have a great time here. Many young adults and kids everywhere. The games are fun and lively. Between the games, bowling, pool, bar you'll have plenty to do. Can't wait to take them back.

    I had such an amazing experience! As a first timer the staff made a great impression. The place was super clean and the staff was just so helpful and sweet. My server Garrett was super attentive as well as the manager Micheal. They both went out of their way to make sure me and my friend were having a great time after our bowling lane was manufacturing. The food was delicious, fresh and was brought to us in a timely fashion. I would definitely be recommending this place to my friends and family.

    Staff was friendly and the kids had a lot of fun! We purchased the Fun Pass that includes unlimited bowling, laser tag and billiards. You have to pay extra for arcade games and karaoke. Its kind of a rip off that you have to pay $17 for an hour in addition to having to pay for each song you sing with your arcade card- kids had a blast though! Pizza was delicious, so is their ice cream and bar! A fun night out!

    Title: "A Night of Thrills and Entertainment at Main Event Fort Worth South" Review: Recently, I had the pleasure of experiencing an unforgettable night at Main Event in Fort Worth South. From the moment I walked in, the vibrant atmosphere set the stage for a fun-filled adventure. The variety of activities offered something for everyone in our group. The state-of-the-art arcade had a fantastic selection of games, catering to both classic and modern tastes. Whether competing for high scores or collecting tickets for prizes, the arcade provided hours of enjoyable competition and camaraderie. The bowling lanes were well-maintained, and the staff was both friendly and helpful. It's a great spot for both casual bowlers and those looking for a more competitive edge. The cosmic bowling added an extra layer of excitement, creating a dynamic and visually stunning experience. The dining options were diverse, and the food exceeded expectations. The menu offered a range of choices, from appetizers to full meals, ensuring there was something to satisfy every craving. The service was prompt, and the staff made sure we had everything we needed for a delightful evening. One highlight was the laser tag arena, providing an immersive and energetic adventure. The well-designed arena added an extra level of intensity to the game, making it a standout experience. Overall, Main Event Fort Worth South is a fantastic destination for a night out with friends or family. The combination of engaging activities, delicious food, and friendly staff makes it a top choice for those seeking a memorable and entertaining outing. I'll certainly be returning for more fun in the future!

    My son always has a blast here. I recommend the sonic Olympic game if you want to have fun and the monopoly role the dice game if you want highest yield of tickets for your "tokens".

  • 5/5 Kwamen C. 2 months ago on Google • 17 reviews New
    Dominic was amazing he was our waiter when I say bro was amazing that’s not even a word that comes close to the service we got from him. He was very intuitive and catering. Going out with you family on new years isn’t always easy but Don was understanding and made my family time a memorable and that’s all a man can ask for thanks Dom and thank you mainevent

  • 5/5 Emma I. 2 months ago on Google • 5 reviews New
    Absolutely had the BEST experience with Dominic. So friendly and professional. He was super busy but still made me, my friend , and our kids feel as if we were a priority. I don’t come to main event except once in a balloon but will defiantly be back because of him. Thank you for making our experience so great.

    Thank you Main Event staff for taking such great care of our team - Wheat Middle School. Melissa, Anita, and Austin among others have gone out of their way and above & beyond to make our Staff PD / Team-Building a huge success today! Our teachers & staff were so excited to find out most of our 1st day back from break would be spent with y’all! Y’all got all 100+ of us checked in and engaged within minutes, and have created a welcoming atmosphere for us to enjoy one another’s company and a little “friendly competition.”

  • 3/5 alicia l. 1 year ago on Google
    I’m giving 3 stars bc my 2 previous experience here were pretty good. I’m really disappointed I spent over 15 min and $15 dollars for this. I live less than 5 min from here so my fries should not have been cold/old and the portion should have been slightly bigger. I will not rate lower than 3 stars bc it’s more of a consistency issue as I know the quality exists bc I’ve experienced it before… I just don’t know if I’m willing to waste the time and money on chance again.

  • 5/5 Combat W. 2 years ago on Google
    Fantastic place to go and have fun! Brought the family there for a birthday. Laser tag was a blast and the VR games are really fun. The pizza was delicious. All your credits and tickets are through a card you swipe so no need to keep track of tokens or tickets. You can reload the balance using an app or at kiosks near the arcade. They are open till about midnight so no rush to leave before closing which is nice. Highly recommend Main Event!

  • 4/5 Michael V. 2 years ago on Google
    Was great!! But they need to explain everything before they let you walk away from the counter. We paid for unlimited bowling for 9 people and they didn't tell us about a waiting list. So after the first hour they asked us to get off the lane for an hour so the next group could go. They never told us that we were gonna have to do that from the beginning. I would say everything else was great. Just need better communication!!

  • 5/5 Britt L. 2 years ago on Google
    Love the bowling and arcade games! We spent Christmas eve here with family and had a wonderful time! The staff is super friendly and helpful! Will be back for sure!

  • 4/5 JT M. 1 year ago on Google
    Place is okay. The price they charge for the unlimited activities just doesn’t match. The bowling, for example the bowling part. You okay 1 hour and then they make you stop and out you on the waiting list. Just doesn’t make anything sensed. Family of 4. Can’t even play 2 games in that time.

  • 5/5 Mohamed C. 6 months ago on Google
    Good services, the games there are in a good condition, you can enjoy playing Bowling, billards and electronics game machines.

  • 1/5 Larten C. 4 months ago on Google
    Yeah this is a place you take your kids, if you expect to eat like decent food for adults, or have competent service, this ain’t your choice. Obviously a place you would just kinda cave in and buy something cause you’re just… “here” but it’s 100% not worth the money in anyway, the bar staff look so angry and give you least amount of like basic customer service. Super gross food too, like it’s very low quality… it’s like a Chuck E. Cheese kitchen back there, super high processed over priced garage. I’m just so grossed out by the expensiveness of the food and lack of basic guest decency. If your kids beg you to go here, make sure y’all eat at cicis or something before you come otherwise you’re gonna waste your appetite on SUPER expensive garbo.

  • 1/5 Mexi L. 1 year ago on Google
    Food took like 30 minutes and the chips and queso were cold when I got them, sent them back for re-heat took another 10 minutes. Tables at the Cafe were dirty table at the bowling lanes were dirty took a long time before someone cleaned them.

  • 5/5 Alex P. 4 months ago on Google
    Shout out to Mejra, Lacy, and Eric for showing my family a good time. Mejra was such a kind spirit and super funny. Lacy was so patient and understanding with my family. Tell Eric we owe him a game of guitar hero! He was so nice and cool! We hope to be back soon😁

    We had an awful waitress that was really rude to my friend. Very entitled. And dismissive. Definitely shouldn't be a waitress. The people at the bar were much better. Very helpful and made good drinks. The food was good.

    Brought my son to Main Event for the first time to continue his 3rd Birthday festivities. Our server Alyssa was very friendly and awesome. The Rainbow Soda Pop drinks are pretty cool

  • 4/5 Rafael R. 5 months ago on Google
    Came in here for an hour of bowling. There was a waitlist of 30-45 minutes so we decided to take the kids to the arcade section. We probably waited for 20 minutes when our bowling lane became available. As soon as we started bowling we kept having issues with the lane (lane 4). So for a good 15 minutes we were sitting there waiting for them to fix the issue. After this kept happening time and time again. We decided to tell the gentleman to switch us to another lane. They switched us and added 15 minutes for our lost time. While all this is going on we placed an order for food and drinks. Our bowling time was up and our food still wasn’t there. Then 5 minutes minutes later our food finally showed up. We literally had to rush to eat it because the manager came up to us saying “hey just so y’all know people will be coming to this lane in 10 minutes”. I could have understood this comment if it was our fault and we were just taking our sweet time. But no it was their issues, their messed up lane, their lack of communication with the kitchen. So that really bugged me out. The only reason I’m giving them 4 stars is because of the gentleman that helped us move lanes, that gave us game cards for our sour experience. He was doing way more than management. It looks like they have the wrong people in charge. All in all I wouldn’t return for bowling. Arcade and Pool, maybe.

    Scheduled a party at 3:30pm & we were early as requested. We were taken to our room which was not decorated even though it was paid for. Then was rushed to do our scheduled activities. We went to bowl first, the lanes we were assigned to were out of service which had us waiting there like idiots. We still hadn’t seen or meet our host, she finally shows up at 4:30 apologizing but her excuse was that her shift didn’t start until 4pm. Anyway, we got done bowling & went back to our finally decorated room to eat. The pizza was there but no drinks, we had to ask for them them. A huge tv was in the room & off until we requested them to turn on. When it was time to cut our cake there was no clean spatula or host in the room, we had to clean off a pizza spatula that we used a few minutes earlier. We got done eating then our next activity was laser tag & that was rushed & our party was split in half & battling other people when we paid for our group to laser tag together. Overall, the service & management is GARBAGE! I basically ran the show because I felt like I had too. The food was delicious though, I’ll give them that. I honestly could’ve had a better party at my house for a fraction of what I paid. The overall place is nice though but the service & management are TRASH!

    We took the kids to Main Event last night because they wanted to go somewhere that we could all have a great time together. We got in to some bowling, we had a great dinner and then we played some games for about 2 hours. It was overall a great time. Our server, Caliph, did a spectacular job making sure we were taken care of and that we had everything we needed. Thanks for a great experience!
