Such fun, it was a nice atmosphere and not a bunch of annoying people or anything, it was a nice evening, my literal only complaint is the cost. I might be old, not really cuz I'm only 40, but I remember when bowling was like $2/game...2 people for 2hrs is a hundred bucks? Come on 2026 what are we doing guys

We had my nephews birthday party, we had nearly 25 little kids and about 10 parents. It was a nice size party but that staff was on it, they were helpful and supportive. The party was a hit, we will definitely visit again.

We were in town for a soccer tournament and came here for a team outing. I had called ahead and they had a whole area set up for us including our team name spelled out in light up letters. Really great service and good food.

Incredible experience! Very smooth, not busy, reasonably priced. Food got out around ~25 min later per item but to be fair it seemed like only one cook was working. All in all, service was great and the lady at the front counter was very friendly. Coming more often for sure!

We got 2 lanes yesterday for our family and had a great time. Lanes, tables and bathrooms were clean. We got shoes and lanes assigned quickly and there were lots of balls to choose from. Food was tasty but took a long time to arrive. Order when you get there so you’re not waiting! Overall, Greta experience. We will be back.

Good place to have a good time

I went there with some ladies from work (I work in mental health). It was their outing. I have nothing negative to say about the facility but they did question some clients about how we knew one another. I didn't like that bc it made them self-conscious. The rest was nice and we all enjoyed ourselves! Just FYI- please don't ask questions like that when you don't know what's going on. It can be detrimental to someone's mental health.

The staff was amazing! Our waitress, Cheyenne, took care of our large group flawlessly. She was attentive and so personable. Her coworkers jumped in to help, too, and it was so nice to see such a cohesive team. Everyone was patient and kind with the young kids in our group. The building and restrooms are clean and well maintained. We truly could not have asked for a better experience!

Expensive but well kept and helpful and very friendly staff. I would go back here but I would try to go during a time where there is an unlimited deal. We are not from the area so maybe the other bowling alleys are comparable in price?
