. . "5"^^ . "1"^^ . "2"^^ . "Yeah, five stars. Compared to other Chuck E. Cheese's locations? It's not even close... this is the best I've ever seen.\n\nI've been here a number of times with my kids. I live in Los Angeles but I take my kids to visit my parents who live near this location. We have a couple locations in LA that I've taken my kids to and none of them as good as this location. Most recently, I took my kids here on a Saturday night. I repeat - SATURDAY... NIGHT... AT... CHUCK E. CHEESE'S... and I, A) lived to tell about it, and B) still five stars. \n\nMANAGEMENT\nIf you zone out with my review, let me just tip my hat to the manager here... he's amazing. I assume it was him working Saturday night. His workers ALL had great attitudes, were helpful, smiling, immediately got to everyone with questions, fixed games immediately. I even saw him personally fixing the bicycle helicopter 'ride'. Again, check my past review of the West Hills location where their manager was completely the opposite. \n\nAnyway... \n\nWORKERS PT 1\nWalking in, there were plenty of workers at the counter, which is RARE at Chuck E. Cheese's. There wasn't a line, just ordered and got our table. We got two pizzas, boneless hot wings, salad bar and drinks. The food came out quick but, honestly, the pizza did take a really long time, which never happened. It took 30 minutes for the pizza. \n\nWORKERS PT 2\nThe place is far bigger than most other locations yet, it's really clean, no trash on tables, immediately workers are wiping tables. They really cared about keeping things clean... and again, this is a Saturday night on Thanksgiving weekend when it should have been a disaster -- but it wasn't. Also, yeah... I see people with one star reviews because tickets ran out? Um, they're paper... they will eventually run out, my God. They don't magically reappear. Yes, one machine my kid won tickets on ran out so I simply asked one of the many workers walking around and he simply fixed it and gave her the tickets... done in literally a minute. People need to show some friggin' patience. (Notice the 'gotcha' one star reviews and their spelling... kinda goes hand in hand.)\n\nGAMES/RIDES\nThere is a really nice variety of ride and games that most locations don't have. They have all of the super young games for kids, then the older ones as well. They have a couple driving and racing ones, even a ski one. Thank you for leaving up the jungle gym when so many others have ripped them out for some reason. \n\nFOOD\nPersonally, I always annoy people when I say this too much but... the pizza at Chuck E. Cheese's is better than it needs to be. It's really good. Here was no exception. We also got the boneless chicken wings which were great. The Salad bar, like everything else here, was clean. I noticed a worker with gloves cleaning it constantly (with customers making a mess). It was stocked every time I went up. I think there used to be ham cubes, but not that night. I wish they'd bring that back, though, so there's some kind of a protein... but no biggie.\n\nSECURITY \nMy wife and our other family got there ahead of time with the kids. My father and I came in a little later, kinda like two guys off the street. I honestly wished they questioned us but the younger worker let us in no problem. I think they should ask if we're a part of a birthday party, if so, which one... or do we have kids here. Otherwise, there's zero reason to have two guys come in without kids. Granted, we were wearing polo shirts and hopefully didn't look like creepers but you never know. Going out, the worker checked the kids' ultraviolet numbers... but again, if it's two guys coming in without kids, they could hide out in the bathroom and wait for kids to, 'ya know', not do good stuff. Unfortunately, a lot of parents just let their kids run to the bathroom here, solo. That's the only area I'd say they need to improve but I don't know what company policy is. \n\nOVERALL\nAgain, favorite location - easily. The bar was low for it being a Saturday night, I went in expecting chaos but it was clean as a Tuesday 2pm session, I'd imagine. Finally... a location that looks like the commercials :)"^^ . .
