| - Growing up in Texas, I was fortunate enough to have access to Main Event numerous times a year! So when I was informed they were building one where we currently reside in Arizona, I was ecstatic. My wife and I stated numerous times as we walked in "This place is Beautiful." As we began talking to the employees, our experience started tumbling down a hill, but not a small hill, a mountainous hill relative to the heights of Mount Everest. Our experience began to cling to hope, hope our experience would get better! It has too!! This is Main Event!! Unfortunately, during our theoretical hike, we found no other hikers (workers) once we sat down, we yearned for just a drip of water, saw mirages of artistic entrees, and dreamed of cheap bowling shoe rentals (seriously, $8.00 to rent shoes?!?). Seems a bit high...considering it was $5 to bowl....for an unlimited amount of time, except our bowling fun extravaganza was cut short at an hours limit...during unlimited bowling. (We were in the building with maybe 10 other customers?) don't get me wrong, they have SOME standards ; my sons pepperoni pizza was amazing. My wife's pasta; comparable to a old folks home cafeteria. As for my Beer battered cod, fries, and coleslaw; the cod was great; all three tiny pieces, the fries typical, but the coleslaw...hot? I love coleslaw, I've lived across the country and had coleslaw just about everywhere. My coleslaw for some reason sat under a heat lamp next to the rest of our food, and was hot enough to dry out just as it reached our table.
Unfortunately, the games amongst every thing else were extremely expensive and some broken. They did give us a $10.00 promotional card that starts in January for some reason...But honestly you couldn't pay us to come back.
Do yourself a favor, open up your Maps app, type in Amazing Jakes, and select go / navigate / drive. The extra drive is worth it... Your going to save money, play better, feel better, eat better, and be happy.
Thanks Jake's for always being there....
