In Brookfield, Wis., no restaurant has triggered more calls to the police department since last year than Chuck E. Cheese's.
Officers have been called to break up 12 fights, some of them physical, at the child-oriented pizza parlor since January 2007. The biggest melee broke out in April, when an uninvited adult disrupted a child's birthday party. Seven officers arrived and found as many as 40 people knocking over chairs and yelling in front of the restaurant's music stage, where a robotic singing chicken and the chain's namesake mouse perform.
Chuck E. Cheese's bills itself as a place "where a kid can be a kid." But to law-enforcement officials across the country, it has a more particular distinction: the scene of a surprising amount of disorderly conduct and battery among grown-ups.
"The biggest problem is you have a bunch of adults acting like juveniles," says Town of Brookfield Police Capt. Timothy Imler. "There's a biker bar down the street, and we rarely get calls there."
It isn't clear exactly how often fights break out at Chuck E. Cheese's 538 locations. Richard Huston, executive vice president of marketing for the chain's parent company, CEC Entertainment Inc. of Irving, Texas, describes their occurrence as "atypical," saying he has heard of "four or five significant adult altercations" this year. But in some cities, law-enforcement officials say the number of disruptions at their local outlet is far higher than at nearby restaurants, and even many bars. "We've had some unfortunate and unusual altercations between adults at these locations," Mr. Huston says. "Even one is just way too many."

Hillarious! I keep thinking that the above paragraph is going to be a good description of Hussein Obama’s regular Cabinet meetings during the next four years.
When someone implies ‘ghetto’—I was gonna say “Brookfield?”
Party Time!
Around here a few years ago there was a 400 person brawl in the parking of the El Torito restaurant on Tampa Avenue in Northridige. Men and women punching each other. The cops called the FD to spray the whole bunch with high pressure water. They left with drenched clothes wondering why they were there in the first place.
If that is a picture of the baby, I would leave him, too.
True story...my sister was in the hospital, in labor with her second child, and she wasn’t feeling too sporty (her first was a 10-pounder.)
I said, “Cheer up, Sal, things could be worse. You could be at Chuck E Cheese!”
She said, “Oh my God, you’re right...”
And the pizza is crap, too.
LOL
Chuck E. Cheese is a good place to work if you hate pizza since they don't sell any there. Thier sauce is exactly the same as Spaghettios.
Because the cops they don’t need you
and man they expect the same.
He was a precocious child.

The one in Princeton is an add amalgam of Princeton moms who Lunch in their Burberry’s with little Cameron and Trevor, Trenton moms and their mutant offspring Noxema and Farina, and the poor Patel’s from West Windsor who must protect little Poojah from getting in between the former two groups.
Now if only Phenix City across from Columbus would go back to ITs bad old days and take business away from Columbus.
