View Full Version : Is there such a fast food joint as Chuck E Cheese?
waichingliu81 01-09-2008, 08:21 AM being from the UK, i often hear and see characters mention this eaterie in US cartoons and sitcoms and i was wondering whether it exists, or its just something one made up. also has anyone been to chuck e cheese and if so, what is the food like? what type of food do they serve? thanks
Stormtracker TF 01-09-2008, 08:25 AM Yeah, it really exists. They mostly serve Pizza there and there's games and other stuff geared towards kids, although they're not as popular as they once were. :lol:

Probably because back in 2003/2004 people were getting shot and everything else there!
You should do a search of the threads - there were some pretty funny ones about it. For some weird reason there was a lot of action at those places a few years back! :lol:
catlover79 01-09-2008, 01:06 PM It is geared towards kids and has video games, etc. There's a Chuck E. Cheese not too far from me, and I drive past it every night on my way home from work. I went to many a birthday party there as a kid. :D
Tubehead 01-09-2008, 01:11 PM i LIKED IT WHEN IT WAS BILLYBOBS. THEY DON'T HAVE THE SINGERS ANY MORE .MY ANUT TOOK MY COUSIONS AND THEY JUST HAVE A TV NOW.
*ClassicPinUp* 01-09-2008, 01:37 PM Man that place was so popular when I was a little kid. I had a few birthday parties there and all my little friends did as well. I use to love the "live" band they had with all the characters. We still see a lot of them and they're always packed.
Anyway, they have the typical pizza and cokes and it's packed with games that of course you need tokens to play and each game you play you win tickets... the more tickets you have the better the "prize" you can buy with them. There was also a huge indoor playground at the one we went to. That's how they did it back then atleast.

They don't have the animatronic band anymore? That sucks. Although maintenance on those things would probably be a bitch. I loves going there for birthdays as a kid. It was still Showbiz Pizza when I first went.

The one near my apt does. I went there for my 21st birthday as a joke. We made it just on time to see them dance and sing.
Actually rather creepy, those things are... :lol:

:drool:
though i thought they had more toppings than the ones already listed. i am surprised that sweetcorn, ham and pineapple are not on there either
catlover79 01-09-2008, 03:40 PM ^ I'm sure if you ever visit the states, that'll be the first restaurant you'll eat at!! ;)
I took my son there a couple of times when he was little. And man, you can drop some serious bucks at that place with the price of their food and buying tokens for those games that the kids all want to play. If you ever go, take plenty of money. (lol!)
Cactus Jack 01-09-2008, 04:12 PM I went there quite a few times as a kid :lol:
waichingliu81 01-09-2008, 04:25 PM ^ I'm sure if you ever visit the states, that'll be the first restaurant you'll eat at!! ;)
yeah it probably will be, especially as i love pizza :). i went to pizza hut twice and to be honest, the menu isn't all that great
Chocoholic 01-09-2008, 04:26 PM I don't think there are any in my area any more. I haven't been to one in years.
EmoJoe 01-09-2008, 04:28 PM i loved that place when i was little...they actually have really good food, lol. whenever my brother wants to go i go with him so i can eat their pizza :)
this thread reminds me of Miss Golden though, she posted a bunch of weird obsessive Chuck E Cheese threads back in the summer of 2005...she was scary :(

what?! chuck e cheese, a fast food joint primarily aimed at kids sell BEER and WINE? i mean, its just kinda wierd to see it on the menu. of course its for us adults- well count me out because i don't like beer and wine- but seeing as chuck e cheese is a kids restaurant, i thought it was unreal that they would sell alcoholic beverages
Crimson and Clover 01-09-2008, 05:11 PM yeah Lor loves it. Everytime we drive by she yells Chuck E Cheeses house.
TripperFan 01-09-2008, 06:05 PM what?! chuck e cheese, a fast food joint primarily aimed at kids sell BEER and WINE? i mean, its just kinda wierd to see it on the menu. of course its for us adults- well count me out because i don't like beer and wine- but seeing as chuck e cheese is a kids restaurant, i thought it was unreal that they would sell alcoholic beverages
That's just a draw to keep the parents from going insane there! :lol:
Yeah, that was it - the summer of 05 with all the Cheeses threads! :rofl:
It seemed like two new ones each day there was so much action going on there!
I used to like Pizza Hut, but they're just not the same anymore.

i remember that. she posted a lot of weird ****, she was obviously just trying to become an SO legend.
friendsfan77 01-10-2008, 01:42 AM Wow, this brings back memories. I haven't been to one of those in ages.
waichingliu81 01-10-2008, 08:15 AM this place sounds good. they should open a couple of branches in the UK, especially in london

pizza hut is overrated and as i said the menu isn't all that great either
waichingliu81 01-10-2008, 08:19 AM ive never seen it there...so i dunno how true that is.
perhaps it was only recently or a couple of years ago they added beer and wine on the beverage list, which is probably why you never saw it on there

i have to give credit to the guy or woman who has to don that rat costume because let's face it, how many of us would do it, in real life? :lol:

In todays economy, you'd be surprised what you'll do.
catlover79 01-10-2008, 01:00 PM i have to give credit to the guy or woman who has to don that rat costume because let's face it, how many of us would do it, in real life? :lol:
If the money was great, I'd do it!! :crazy: Plus, since the costume covers you from head to toe, no one knows it's you, anyway. :lol:
*ClassicPinUp* 01-10-2008, 01:19 PM I bet since Brad and Angelina just brought their little cuties to Chuck E Cheese it will become very popular in the months to come ;).

I wouldn't! Those poor guys/girls take a real beating sometimes from bratty kids :rolleyes:. I couldn't handle being kicked, hit and pushed around all the time.

not to mention, being called all sorts of names. i for one wouldn't do it, unless the boss paid me a lot of money to do it, and i don't mean for $5.
RoryGilmore 01-10-2008, 06:19 PM Theres's one 40 minutes from me and I went last week for my cousins birthday. love their pizza, and i'm gonna go against some of you and say that I like pizza hut too!
Mikado 01-10-2008, 07:51 PM I love Pizza Hut pan pizza, but, its like 30% more expensive than any of the other pizza places around here
RoryGilmore 01-11-2008, 11:32 AM not here its the cheapest chain
LuLu Rogers 01-11-2008, 11:53 AM I've had several parties at Chuck E. Cheese's growing up. When I was little it was called ShowBiz and the mascot was Billy Bob the bear instead of Chuck E. Cheese the mouse, lol. :lol: It became Chuck E. Cheese's in 1992. Here's some info about it: http://rock_afire.tripod.com/info/history/index.html
Here's A picture of the "robots" from ShowBiz days, lol. Billy Bob is in the top right picture:
