Great place for family fun with a variety of activities to choose from. The food was ok. Drink are good if you tell them not to overload with ice. Although it's a fun great place, it's also somewhat expensive.

Absolutely terrible experience, 75% of the games were either not working, or missing the balls or pieces to be able to play, the VR headsets on several of the machines were broken! Would not recommend anytime soon, very run down!

Why is Noone answering the phone. 30 minutes I been calling. If you are understaffed ok this owner as the merg w Dave and Busters should have enough $$ to pay some teens to answer the PHONE
I'll b there in about a hour... hope it's better🤞

It was only OK four kids two adults. And to search out someone to answer questions more than once more than twice actually then when it came time to play the games they were so expensive with the game cards were got barely lasted an hour food was mediocre burgers came out burnt. Appitizer was cold... just all over disappointment for our last horah b4 school starts...

This place is fun but is pricey, service on food is super slow.

Tried to go bowling and the line they have us on was nothing but problems. Made for a horrible night out with the kids.

Do not go to this establishment on the weekends. There’s a whole bunch of little hot teenagers running around my food was horrible and nothing was done to rectify my issue. I will continue to go to Northland Main Event or Olathe. But the Independence location just has too many teenagers running around like it’s the club smoking weed it was a hot mess AND some man punched some woman in the face, the police presence was heavy but still didn’t deter that man from punching that lady in the face. It was just too much!!!

Could definitely be fun but a fight was about to break out at one point with a bunch of teens. they had a few officers at the entrance but I think they should have 2 roaming the busier areas breaking up the congregating groups like we witnessed just didn't feel safe after that. Definitely won't go again on a Saturday night. Maybe sometime during the week will see.

Food took forever and was not very good. The games are fun. Had a lot of fun with my son there. They’re gonna have to up their game on the food and food service.

If I could give them place a No Star I would! I’m absolutely upset with their management. I’ve called 2 days in a row in search for my daughter’s backpack that had a lot of her important things that she needs for “health reasons” that’s she needs to carry with her. Yet I get the same answer.. like they don’t care. My husband is going to try to call again and have them look into the cameras to see who took it. The employee who I spoke to also told me, she remembers seeing it in the party section and that all she can recall. I don’t know but it’s sus. And there should be more accountability and transparency.
Here a picture of her backpack if anyone has seen it. Or can come forward bring it back please and Thank you! It’s her favorite bag that her grandma gave to her and it has important health things she needs.

Spent $50 on game credits and half of the games we tried to play were broken. Although the games were broken, they still took your credits so we ended up losing at least $20 of credits on games we didn’t get to play. When we tried to find employees to help with this issue, there was no one around to speak with. The only employees we could find were the people at the front desk and the line was so long that we didn’t get to speak with anyone. I’m upset at the amount of money lost.

Food is just edible if you can get someone to take your order. Looked for a host to seat us like your signs say but no host to be found. Sat ourselves & waited 15 mins until the girl sitting at the bar on her phone like a customer finally came over to rudely ask what we wanted. I just stood up & ordered from the snack kiosk instead.

The arcade is highway robbery. The fun card is expensive enough without the make believe activation fee.
Then half of the games are out of order, missing necessary parts, dirty, or steal your credits.

Do better main event. Your establishment has about as much charm as a failing pig farm.

Half the games didn’t even work waste of money

Was in town visiting family. Thought it would be fun to bowl. First lane we were placed on was broke. Had to go back up to get a new lane. New lane was not working either. The entire time we were waiting to bowl out time was still ticking away. We literally bowled one game in the hour we were charged for. Asked.for a manager twice, never go one. Evertime someone had to come fix our lane we were told they would add time to our lane and never did. So glad I wasted my money.

Hire more employees, kick out the teenagers that are not playing games. I get they need somewhere to hang but when they are standing in a crowd in front of your games using nasty language pushing and shoving in becomes annoying. Also hire cleaning staff drinks spilled everywhere. This might limit the fight that broke out and the police being called ! Get the place under control please! As it’s a fun place to go to! Hate to see it ruined!
