Thread for these kind of restaurants. Unfortunately, if you're not at least an older millennial you won't remember any of them outside of Chuck E. Cheese.

We had a Showbiz when I was little. I remembered the pizza tasting like spaghetti and playing skeeball forever.

One of the showbiz around me had a one armed fats domino or whatever gorilla was, playing the piano. There are a couple interesting documentaries. Can't remember. Think someone screwed someone and made Chuck E. Cheese as a ripoff. Chuck went belly up and was bought by showbiz, who killed itself to become Chuck E. Cheese because it was cheaper to run. Foster freez and Dairy Queen has a similar story but, without all the drama.

They had a large arcade and play area, being the big draw. Then there was a separate dining area where they served pizza and you were treated to a "live" show played by animatronic animals. As a kid, they were pretty much the tits.

There was a Bonkers in Massachusetts too, I want to say in Saugus but I’m not sure. They had an indoor Ferris wheel. Never knew it was a chain.
