    We had the waitress that played spider Gwen, she was so much fun! She got our order correct; the food was amazing! We celebrated my son's 10th birthday & my mother-in-law's 70th birthday. They brought him a plate of cookies & ice-cream & because she's a diabetic they brought her a bowl full of strawberries! The staff was so super sweet & accommodating. We will definitely return.

    Every time we visit Dallas, we eat at the Magic Time Machine & we are never disappointed! Last night our server was Bellatrix Lestrange & she was amazing. She stayed in character & had our entire party laughing the whole time! Every cast member was friendly, funny, & willing to interact with everyone. The balloon man & photographers were also very friendly. Our wait time was only 10-15 minutes & the food was perfect!

    My in-laws were visiting from out-of-town, and a friend had recently recommended the Magic Time Machine. Our experience was an absolute delight. Our waitress was Tinkerbell, and she was so much fun! And Luigi had my husband in tears from laughing so hard after a brief interaction at our table. The balloon artist is a true artist who holds multiple world records. And we were delighted by the magic potions and the Salad Car. Our food was delicious as well. This restaurant is not for folks who take life or dinner too seriously. But we had a wonderful time, great food, and everything was very reasonable. My in-laws are still talking about how much fun it was!

    FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE! This has got to be some kind of hidden gem because I had no idea it existed and only came across it because it was in walking distance of our hotel. We were seated in the pirates cove and served by Spider-Man and it was truly such an incredible experience! They had a balloon artist come around for the kids, autograph books for the character servers to sign, and a hilarious photo opportunity that you just HAVE to set $20 aside for, trust me. You’ll want those photos! The food was delicious and very reasonably priced! We expected an up-charge based on the experience around us but honestly the prices were the same as you’d pay at any other restaurant that wasn’t as fun. We will DEFINITELY be coming back here when we’re in town again!!

    Ive lived in DFW most of my life and never heard of this restaurant. The whole experience was fantastic. Tinkerbell & Dracula were our servers. They definitely played it up. Best time there!

    The Starfire was the most kind, most beautiful , most pleasant and most wonderful server. Of all the Tern Titans, we liked her the best. She made the time at The Magic Time Machine memorable. The food was rather tasty as well. Sorry Beast Boy , there was no tofu.
