Maybe it’s just where I live, but Chuck E.'s these days is pretty half-assed. Bring back the doiby hat and Joisey accent, for starters.
Along the same lines of Chuck E./Showbiz was Crystal Pizza, but it had no animatronics, and the interior was (I guess) like a Victorian mansion. (Or sporting house.) At some point they switched to a buffet, but I hadn’t been there in years before that happened. Apparently it finally closed its doors about a year ago. (They also owned Casa Bonita, similar concept but with Tex-Mex food.)
