There was one near me as a kid and I think I liked it but have very vague memories of it. - Krusty without grass Jun 25, 11:07 2
- I never went though, because it was a national chain. -- nm - lil' Krusty Jun 25, 11:17 1
  - Ha! - Krusty without grass Jun 25, 11:44
There's a reason they serve alcohol -- nm - oblique Jun 25, 11:04
We had Showbiz Pizza right across the street from Chuck E Cheese. I always liked Showbiz better. -- nm - Dark Callisto Jun 25, 11:00 9
- Didn't they take over it? I liked both -- nm - JackDawson Jun 25, 11:33
- Word. A thousand times - word. -- nm - Daniel Prime Jun 25, 11:25
- Oh man, I had forgotten about Showbiz Pizza. That place was *awesome*! -- nm - David Jun 25, 11:08
- I grew up on Showbiz but then Chuck bought them out, or they closed and Chuck opened, not sure which. - sycor Jun 25, 11:04 1
  - I think Chuck did buy them out. My sister worked at Chuck E. Cheese. -- nm - Dark Callisto Jun 25, 11:06
- We did have a Mr Gatti's (Texas pizza chain) with a buffet and arcade (we called it Gattiland) in college. - ty97 Jun 25, 11:01 3
  - When we moved back to take care of Traci's father, we ate at Gatti's lunch buffet about twice a week. -- nm - David Jun 25, 11:09
  - We still have that one. Or at least there's one in Pigeon Forge. - Dark Callisto Jun 25, 11:05
  - ah, it apparently moved from Bryan to College station (and renamed GattiTown) in 2003. Moved into an old HEB Pantry's space. - ty97 Jun 25, 11:05
I went about 10-15 years ago for a nephews-in-law's birthday. It wasn't terrible. Food was okay, the game selection was terrible though. -- nm - sycor Jun 25, 10:59
It's so atrocious pizza. I mean, almost as bad as Dominos and Papa John's! -- nm - David Jun 25, 10:57
It was fantastic in the mid 80s -- nm - Jovian Jun 25, 10:57 3
- Are you saying you loved Chuck E Cheese as a child, but it basically torture as an adult? -- nm - Spawn Jun 25, 10:58 2
  - I assume this is true, but I never went as an adult. -- nm - Jovian Jun 25, 11:03 1
    - Semi-tangent: I saw the Supernatural episode last week. -- nm - Spawn Jun 25, 11:05
Food downright scary. Visited one maybe a year or two ago. Nasty look to it -- nm* - budice Jun 25, 10:56 1
- lol yep. Grandparents always took us to eat first before going. -- nm - Jovian Jun 25, 10:58
