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

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

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.

Had the opportunity to take my 9 year old daughter there for the first time. What a great experience we had. The staff was amazing & the food was outstanding. Our waiter "King Julian", was absolutely hilarious!! I'd recommend this restaurant to anyone not only looking for good food, but who are looking for an unforgettable time that they could share for years to come. Thank you for an amazing time. 

Business response:

Thanks for the glowing review, Hillel! We hope you and your daughter will visit again soon so we can earn that fifth star :D

Iron man was an ahole n after tipping him 20 bucks he tried to keep my 10 bucks change. My other times were way better tho. 

Business response:

Hi, John. Sounds like Iron Man was a little too Iron Man-y when you visited. If you'd like to speak with a manager about your experience, we'd be more than happy to put you in contact with one. Just private message your phone number and we will pass it along. Thank you.
