I took my kids here for the first time and they absolutely loved it. Even being cool middle school and high school age, they absolutely loved all of the characters. Harley Quinn was our waitress and was great with interacting with the kids, Zorro stopped by and hung out with us at our table, and the rest of the staff was hilarious and entertaining. My only complaint would be with the hostess. I know it was busy, but I stood in front of the hostess for at least 5-10 minutes and she didn’t even greet us. Not even a “Hi, I’ll b... read more

Business response:

Thanks for the rave review, Morgan! We're glad it all went over well, even if you weren't greeted quickly (as should have been the case). Come see us again soon and we'll see what we can do about earning that fifth star. ;)

The atmosphere is awesome! The servers were great and entertaining! I expected the food to be better based on the prices, but it was below average. My chicken Alfredo had no flavor and my husband said he's had better steak at TGI Fridays. We enjoyed ourselves, but the food can use some work. It should be called The Magic Entertainment Machine instead of The Magic Time Machine.....you weren't really traveling back in time with waitstaff dressed like Miranda Sings or Finn from Adventure Time. Would have been more interesting i... read more

I think the food was good our waiter Ace was excellent... the restrooms could use a major remodel the floors could be replaced in the whole restaurant the beef&veggie soup could have had some veggies in it. But it was a good family place to go to...

We took our oldest 2 here yesterday for their birthdays and they had a blast! The white rabbit did an excellent job as our waiter. The experience was something they won’t forget! Thank you! 

Business response:

Thank you, Meagan! We're so happy to have been a part of their birthdays. Hopefully we'll make many more memories in the years to come. :)

They could probably book a little better. I placed a reservation a week in advance, showed up 10 minutes before my reservation, and they tried to sit us at 3 separate tables... Then tried to squeeze us at a table for 12... There were 16 of us. Then moved us to another table that fit us all. Probably won't be back. 

Business response:

Hello, Jennifer. We sincerely apologize for dropping the ball on your reservation. We should have had the appropriate table ready prior to your arrival, and will bring this up with the team. We would like to follow up with you as well. If you would, please message us your phone number. Thank you.

The service was great and the food was awesome. We had Velma from Scooby Doo as our waitress and she did a awesome job. She really interacted with my daughter. The other characters where great also even though they where busy they stopped and took a photo with her. 

Business response:

Thanks for leaving such a great review, Kristy. We're glad you had a good time and we hope you'll share some fun pictures from your evening to our page. :)

Our first ever visit! Everyone was warmly welcoming! We were quickly seated. Food was hot and enjoyed the salad bar. Thank you Lady Gaga for serving us tonight! My husband and I had a blast at the restaurant! You are definitely an artist! 

Business response:

Thanks so much for the glowing review, Crystal! We couldn't be happier that you had such a great time on your first visit. Hopefully we can have more nights like that in the future, and you can experience some of our other characters as well. :)
