Chuck E. Cheese — Restaurant in Cerritos

I haven't stepped foot in a Chuck E Cheese in over 35 years. Crazy huh? So when one of the kids from church had a birthday here, I was curious if the place stood the hands of time. As you walk in, you are greeted by a hostess and checks you in and stamps your hand. She tells you where the party is located.

Actually, all the party is located towards the back (which is a great idea because they don't run amock in the front) in picnic style seating with the big screen in the back having the mouse on the TV on a loop. He comes out when the timer goes off and makes his appearance saying hi to the kids. I remembered back in the days, it was these old school production like one of the rides from Disneyland.

The food here is still Chuck E Cheese. The pizza was okay, still tasted like a cardboard. You know when the pizza looks perfect, you know it has to be machine made. They have sandwiches here, which is a nice change from what I can remember. It actually tastes fresh! The drinks here though, its still soda heaven for the kids. Everything tasted water down (which might be a good thing for the kids) , except for the fruit punch. John's incredible pizza has way better pizzas and food than here.

The video games here are pretty decent. I also like that every game takes only 1 token. Don't you hate it when you have to put in 2 token for some games ? Of course, sometimes the games are broken and you have to hail people down to fix, it wasn't too difficult here to find help, that was a good thing. The tickets for redemption, you can feed inside the reading machine and it will spit out a printout with the count. Be careful not to overlap the tickets as we accidentally did and it didn't count them. There is a little tunnel /climbing /slide contraption that's of course free. Always nice to get the kids to have some real exercise rather than play games all day long.

This place is clean, parking is somewhat easy as long as you're not close to the buffalo wild wings. If you want better pizza, BJ's is walking distance. If you want your kids to run off some of that sugar, you can go to Liberty Park that's about a mile away. If you want to get get some of your childhood nostalgia in place,...

Chuck E Cheeses is definitely a place where a kid can be a kid. Recently held my daughters birthday party there. While she is only 6, one of her bucket list items was to be in the ticket blaster. In order to do the ticket blaster, you have to book a birthday party with reserved seating for at least 4 ppl so we did that as a family and she go to meet Chuck E and she got to do the ticket blaster. As you know, it's a kid friendly restaurant and the focus is on quality of food but entertainment. Our kids pretty much just swallowed their food and went right on with gaming. I did not know this, but when you do a birthday party, it's 90 minutes of play on the card, but you cannot PAUSE like with regular game cards to go eat and come back. I was a little surprised by that, but rules are rules. They have a good salad buffet should you not want pizza. With the pizza they have all kinds. Mushroom, pepperoni, or even just plain cheese. All in all it's great for the kids. They have games where you can win tickets and then take the tickets to trade in for prizes. The kids love it. Gets a little addicting. They try to keep as clean as possible. One time I wore latex gloves and by the time 90 minutes was up. The gloves were pretty dirty so I definitely recommend you wash your hands...

What was supposed to be a fun 2nd Year birthday for my little one turned into a nasty experience this past weekend. I took my family and faced a negative experience. 1. Waited 40 min for 3 pizzas and 2. AWFUL experience with the wings.

After receiving my pizza, we waited an additional 15 min for the wings and they got the order wrong. Which sure, issues happen. But to be served 2 wrong wing flavors, then to be asked if they can pull it and give it to other customers was beyond discussing. I suggested I receive those wings as a comp considering the mishap and got told BY THE MANAGER "oh- no we want to use these for other customers that ordered this flavor". How freaking disgusting. NEVER going back considering I don't know if I'm eating other peoples orders.

I'm appalled and quite honestly fear anyone eating their food. YOU DO NOT ISSUE OUT AN ORDER AND TRY TO PULL BACK TO GIVE TO ANOTHER CUSTOMER! She was a manger in the kitchen, unsure on her name which I regret not getting. Posting this on...
