Place hasn't changed much as far as quality of food. It's been decades since I've eaten here, and the quality and quantity of its meals are superb. A little more kiddie oriented than I recall, though. I recommend the Adam's cut of the prime rib only as I had a combo of prime rib and lobster tail. Whew, I can eat a lot! Server was a pirate character who gave quite a performance. Well worth his tip.

This place is definitely geared for families with kids. From the second you walk in, you are bombarded with overdone decor. Everywhere. I mean absolutely everywhere. The servers are all dressed as characters from movies, shows or comics. There is a bunch for kids to do like face painting, arcade games, and fun music. They refer to iced tea as dirty water. It's a simple menu so there isn't much of a selection. The food is meh. Everyone in my party didn't seem to thrilled with their food. Don't try to define the theme of this place. It clearly doesn't have one. If you easily get over stimulated, just stay away.

Lets start with this statement, the atmosphere is.. the same as it was 30 years ago. Our waitress was annoying, so much, my very calm wife asked her to leave. The fried cheese came out below room temp, which was a concern, let alone from order to receive it was 2 minutes. Dinner was actually worse, as my chicken alfredo was under cooked. Wife had the chicken breast, but it was dry, veggies were almost rubbery. Kids tried to eat their chicken fingers and pizza, neither could stomach the greasy, nasty taste that lingered. The wife straight up said never again, kids said Steak and Shake was better. For the price we paid and the lack all around, no thank you. My kid, who hates math, said she "would rather be doing her math homework then come here!"

We visited a year ago and had a great time. Family from Michigan came into town this year so we thought we would treat them. What a waste of money. The room were in was hot with no A/C (it was 100 outside). Our server did nothing special. I told the GM that it was like we were at an Applebee's. We just apologized to our family and told them how sorry we were.

Everything was OK except the room we were in had no air conditioning it was so it felt cooler in the hot Texas sun when we left. Miserable experience.

Great wings and great amenities.I come on Friday to play fighting games with friends. Staff allows us to take over and the food is always good. They also have karaoke, comedy club, and cool atmosphere.

Bad. Seriously bad. I get the idea. It’s a themed restaurant. I get the servers are playing characters, but having a server that is obnoxious and rude and who won’t take a hint when enough is enough went a long way to ruining the evening. I also get the food is nasty to the point of being inedible. The carpet is so nasty your shoes stick to it. That’s the carpet, not the flat floors. Our waiter told us not to order the chicken Alfredo, that it was tasteless. They put Alfredo sauce on the stuffed mushrooms. He wasn’t lying. I left my margarita in my glass and my food on my plate. The bread was good. Order that. I am here because I love my best friend. If it weren’t for her wanting to eat here, I would have walked out. If I could give it zero stars, I would. Don’t waste your time or money.

Atmosphere was great, but it was very outdated and the food wasn’t good, but on the plus side the staff are very friendly and good with kids.

The bartenders really have the drinks down, incredibly friendly atmosphere, good bar food, and karaoke. They even have an underground comedy club on Friday nights! Literally no better place to go for a chill time.

This restaurant is unique. Every table has a different theme and the staff are all dressed as different characters. Lots of interactions and jokes so it is not a serious place. Fun place for families and every experience would be different. It was very busy when we went with huge parties and that was a Monday night.

This restaurant has a different style and decor. Forrest Gump was our server. Hecwas nice even though he threw the straws at me. It's that kind of place. All the servers are in costume. The food was good and portions were generous. I had the salmon and my husband had the chopped steak. They do water tricks, with smoke and bubbles. Kids would really enjoy this place.
