Chuck E. Cheese

Chuck E.

Cheese is a chain of family entertainment centers combining pizza restaurants with arcade games and animatronic performances.

The name comes from the mouse mascot.

The venues are associated with children's birthday parties, noisy chaos, and—notoriously—occasional fights among parents: It turned into a Chuck E. Cheese brawl.

Sometimes used as shorthand for chaotic family environments.
