Was so excited when I learned of this concept restaurant that was open in Mesa! I wasn't sure if it was a year round haunted attraction, or a museum or just food since there are a few different things written about it on the internet. I think their goal is to have it be a year round haunted attraction and/or museum eventually. For now, when you enter, you walk through a really dark maze with monster animitronics. Its a cool vibe. There weren't any real actors in it now for the month of June, but the build up and atmosphere was pretty cool. We got seated within a few minutes. It was really cool looking around and seeing all of the decorations. There wasn't really a specific theme, it was a lot of monsters. There were a few movie monsters throughout, and then some basic monsters as well both mixed in. The decor and feeling is awesome for any horror fan. The menu is pretty basic. The waitress said they had just changed the menu a few days prior. I ordered the stake, my mom got the swamp thing and fritters (fried fish cod) and husband got a hoagie sandwich, daugther and her friend both got the King Kong. We ordered the onion strings for appetizer. From the time we ordered, it took about 20 minutes to get the appetizer. The appetizer was cold. About 35 minutes later our dinner came, and it was warm and fine. The wait for food was super long, and the restaurant was filled but there aren't to many tables in there. The animitronics went on every 10 minutes or so and was cool. The atmosphere was really, really cool and I can tell they are still in the growing stages. The food was not great, but it wasn't bad either. The wait time for the food was a bit on the loonngg side, however with the atmosphere you had alot to look at so it helped a bit. We will definitely go back again in October. They said they have a dungeon, underground from restaurant is the haunted house that will open in October and you will be able to watch other people going through it while you eat in October, which sounds cool. As an avid horror fan, I can see the direction they are wanting to go and I appreciate it. The decor and feel is really cool in there, I love that I can go there in June and see all the horror. The food needs some work and the wait time definitely needs improvement. The staff was super nice though and were encouraging our return and really saying next time it would be better, so I think they are aware of the kinks that need to be worked out and are working on it. We will definitely go back, and its definitely a place any horror fan should go to.
