The waiter was very entertaining. The food was good but nothing extra. The main concern were all the kids running all over the restaurant. The hostess made several announcements that running was not allowed in the restaurant but the parents of these kids did nothing. This spoiled the evening for us. Parents please step up and control your kids
Business response:
Thanks for the review, Rodney. We're sorry about the kids running around. Next time you visit, feel free to ask about being sat in an area that doesn't have so much traffic. As long as you're happy, we're happy :)
I was very disappointed in our visit. My mother wanted to take her grandchildren there for an entertaining experience and we ended up entertaining ourselves. We were a party of 11 and were seated next to a group of father/daughter dates (about 20 guests). We shared the waitress or shall I say, she entertained them and served us. Every time I tried to get her (Lady Gaga's) attention, I was told that she would be back with me. We were also celebrating my nieces birthday and only Gaga and Nacho came to sing to her(not entertain... read more

Business response:
Thanks for the great review, Teresa! Don't forget to share any pictures on our page :) We love to see all of the fun our guests have.
It was a lot of fun. A bit expensive but for a special occasion especially for kids it is great. My kids had the bubbling drinks and loved it. Our waiter Was the character of Jack Sparrow, and King Julian took our drink order. The kids went around the different servers and got autographs. I have to say the MG salad car was awesome! My only problem was I was full, I ate about an 1/8 of my food, I had asked for a to go box. Jack Sparrow asked if he could take it, I thought he was going to put it in the box and instead piled ot... read more

Celebrating my daughter's 7th Birthday. We just moved here from Georgia and we was trying to find a fun place to take her for her birthday. This place was the absolute best. Hands down, the absolute best. Not only was the service top notch, but the food was great as well. The staff goes out of there way to please the kids.
Business response:
Thanks for the glowing review, Damarr! We're so happy we could help make your daughter's first birthday in Texas a memorable one :D We hope you and your family will visit us again soon!
On Saturday, Feb 25th I got to experience for the first time, Magic Time Machine with my daughter, my grandkids and their friends. Let's just say it was not what I expected and what the kids had told me they had experience before. They were all disappointed. My daughter and 3 grandchildren along with their friends and cousin were excited about going to MTM to celebrate my grandson's birthday. In my opinion it was high price frozen dinners and it was not a happy experie...Continue Reading

If you will, please private message us your phone number so we can put you in touch with our supervisor. They'd like to speak with you and hopefully make things right. Thank you.
Our food was not very good. We had Chicken Parmesean, Barbecue Ribs and Chopped Steak and Potatoes. My boys had the Banana Split and the Bubble Drinks which was good. The food was pricey should taste better for what you pay, but would go back not for the food but the experience the waitresses made it a very fun night. We celebrated my son's 14th birthday and he always wanted to go to The Magic Time Machine, so thank you all for a enjoyable evening and making it special. Everyone laughed and we needed this, especially after s... read more

Thanks for sharing these great pictures, Pamela! We apologize our food wasn't the best, but are happy to hear your waitress made the night a success! We hope you and your family will give us another chance to redeem ourselves soon :D
The food was horrible and over-priced. I ordered the half and half plate. The ribs were too salty and dry. The chicken tasted like it was spoiling, smelled like it had been sitting in a trash can, and was so dry. The place is so old, and the restaurant smells awful. The employees' costumes looked old and dirty. At least I didn't have to pay for my food. I will never go back.
Business response:
Hi there, Michelle. We're sorry to hear you didn't have the most pleasant experience at our restaurant. It sounds like you may have spoken with a manager, but if not, we'd be more than happy to put you in contact with our supervisor. If you'd like to speak with our supervisor, please private message us your phone number. Thank you.
