GattiTown North Dallas

I was planning to take a group of kids there for a party next weekend but was just told that this location, at Marsh Lane in Dallas, is closed. Tried to call but no answer. Looked on the website and the Marsh location doesn’t appear so I’m guessing the info is correct and the location is closed. Bummer. Now I need to scramble to find someplace else to go.

Ok. So I am still giving it high stars, but I had to downgrade it because it is starting to get a little dirtier than my first couple times there. Overall, the salad bar is the same. They did move around games and it appears that they also got more ‘prizes’ for the kiddos. Still a great place to take the kids for an quick bite.

After all of the reviews on this place I bookmarked to take the G-​son. On this day we ventured out of the norm of DB and ME with hopes high of having a jolly good Fun-​Sunday. Mind you, normally I do full research on new spots so there won’t be any surprises. I totally made a big mistake on this event. I did have a back-​up in mind though in case this one didn’t work out.
Upon entry the young lady was so into this guy holding a baby (assuming it was her man and child) that she didn’t even greet us and walked away from the register to talk to him. That was the first «CLUCK»! G-​son was excited and ready to explore. Reading the entry information was too my surprise. «NO ONE» is allowed in the place without making a payment for buffet, and tokens. Prices range from about $ 6 to $ 25 it all depends on if you get a buffet only or buffet with tokens. Rides are seperate ranging from $ 2 and up. After reading all the guidelines I asked another attendant if we could walk around to view and decided since it was our first visit. She said, «SURE» and gave us a partial tour. There’s a station set up with pizza and such (there was only 4 on buffet and looked cold), «CLUCK, CLUCK»! Then there were 2 rooms for movies and 1 big room with games, bowling and rides. Looks like lots of fun here. After our tour and the lack there of a crowd to entertain with we to our G-​son displeasement we decided to pass on Gatti Town. It just didn’t seem to be worth the price.
With the 2 stars I give it also, 2 of my «CLUCKS»!!

Above average pizza buffet. The kids will love it and you’ll like it.
I believe the price was about $ 8.60 per adult and $ 5.60 for kids 2 – 6. I thought the kid’s price was a little steep for a two or three-​year-​old, but places like this can’t afford to not charge for little kids (their primary demographic). The above price includes a drink (including their ice drinks, which are good). You cannot save money by opting out of a drink.
The facility itself was clean and spacious. There was a room where they play children’s movies and another room where they show ESPN.
Tip: Go on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday to take advantage of their weekly deals.

I was pleasantly surprised by this GattiTown. The staff was very friendly and it was actually VERY clean. There could have been a wider selection of games, but the price of the buffet was reasonable although the pizza and salad bar wasn’t exactly gourmet. I think it’s a great choice for families!

This — place — was — awful!
I — won’t — ever — go — back!
Not — worth — it!
Manager — is — rude — to — by — the — way!

I can’t believe that they MAKE YOU eat their food! You must purchase a Buffet to come in and play games!!! Even Chuck E Cheese doesn’t do that! My children have dairy and nut allergy and when I called about it they said «I’m sorry, you still have to purchase a buffet to get in and play games». Never going to GT again, that’s for sure! I am shocked! Such unhealthy food, if at least they had healthier choices… no wonder the child obesity rate is so high, places like these contribute to that. We were ready to spend quite a bit in the arcade, I guess Main Event it is!

If you thought the world was ending, where would you choose to spend your final hours? For the N family, it’s been Gattitown for the past two years’ snow days.
Gattitown is like if you took your childhood dreams of fun places to eat and play and adult standards of fresh food and cleanliness and merged them into a food utopia. A good mix of food (awesome salad bar, baked potatoes, gluten free foods with their pizza) and games for kids and adults (sweet Frogger ride, bumper cars that seats kids and adults, insanely addictive Deal or No Deal).
To top it off, the family that owns this business is insanely good people. They do rebate nights for sports teams, schools, you name it. When my family friend’s daughter was fighting leukemia, they did a night when they donated a percentage of the night’s profits to pay her hospital bills. Nothing is better than good food in a clean and fun setting run by a community-​focused family.
Look for their coupons in Passbook!

This place is perfect for birthday parties! parents don’t have to do anything but show up with their guests. The staff is wonderful very helpful, efficient, and super sweet! The party rooms are very well organized there is enough space for everybody and the kids love the cool flat screen TV! After the party kids can go to the play area where children and adults can have a super fun time. We were there last night to celebrate my nieces bday and I was VERY impressed. :-) I’m not sure if tips are allowed but my sister tipped our sweet server because she worked sooo hard to make the kids happy… she definitely deserved it!!!

This location is not close to being as busy as the Frisco location but it is pretty damn great. The staff is good but when it was as slow as it was it seemed a little strange to see the kitchen staff eating more pizza then they were actually making. I know they are normally pretty good about making what it is that you want. The game area is pretty cool and has a great variety of games for the young and older crowd.
I love the bumper cars they just my blood pumpin nothing like wrecking into someone and trying to replicate whiplash. They also have a mini bowling alley section and just so many games to choose from. I would say that Gatti Town is equally great for a child and a kid. I just hope I don’t have to watch the kitchen staff eating while they should be making some fresh pizza.

Yay for childhood!
My friend and I met up at GattiTown last night for some dinner and fun. Its 9 bucks for the buffet, drink included. The workers are willing to make you any sort of pizza that you please, and are quick to inform you of just that. There was a questionable mac and cheese pizza that never got touched during the time I was there. Pizza is so so, probably not as good as CiCi’s. They also have a pretty standard salad bar, and a few hot pasta items. It was Wednesday night, so there may just not have been enough customers for the food to turn over faster? Either way, I filled up on a big plate of salad and a few slices of pizza. OH! For dessert they had the usual apple with crumbly pizza, but they also had CHERRY. Swoon, I loved it.
Icee type beverage, I think puddings and fruit were also offerings.
The Midway! Large game room. The have a small corner for bumper cars, but it is so tiny only kids would enjoy it. They have the classics like skee ball and air hockey and then modern stuff like guitar hero. There is also a mini bowling section which was neat.
What’s amazing now is how different all these things work compared to when I was a tot. Instead of tokens, you recharge a card that you swipe at each machine to play. And, at the end of your night, when you need to redeem your tickets, you feed them into a machine that counts them and prints out a receipt.
The prize room had tons of options on the wall, but sadly, between myself and my friend we managed a mere 88 tickets, pathetic I know. We saw 10 year olds with tickets that could wrap around my car.
The attendant in the prize room scans your ticket, and uses a price gun type thing to scan your prizes and your total is kept up on a tv screen behind her. All very neat and all but I do remember the day where I did the math to figure out what I could redeem my hard earned tickets for!
It was nice to relive childhood for a night, and I came home with a smiley face popper that now sits proudly in my cube at work!
