    We took off work on a Friday a few weeks ago and went to Bowlero in the middle of the day. There were a few groups there, but it was not too busy. It did seem like there was only one employee working both the ticket counter and the concessions counter, so there was a little bit of wait trying to order concessions. She was really sweet, though. We only ordered soda and beer on this visit, so I can't speak on the food options. This Bowlero location feels like it could use some updates and renovations, as it felt a little outdated and dirty. They do have an arcade area that we didn't use, but looked fun. It is in a convenient location, so I'm sure we will be back to give it another try when we are looking for something different to do!

    We've been to Bowlero a few times now. I've gone with my hubby as a date, with my family (with my kid), and with a group of friends (no kids). The location works for either vibe, but the games are fun with more players. You can have up to eight people per lane. I like this location because it has good food and the mini arcade gives you something else to do when you get tired of bowling. My food recommendations are the mozzarella cheese sticks and the nachos. I think that the $2 Tuesday gives the BEST value, with their drink specials and discounted games, but you can also pay a fair price on weekends in the evening. On weekends, (like most places) it is crowded, so you may have trouble finding the perfect ball size if you come later in the day/evening. Summer and Spring Break seems to have caused a bigger influx of people to show up. I recommend it if you live near the South Cobb Drive area or just don't want to bowl in Atlanta.

    I was recently banned from bowling at area Bowlero locations. For what, I WAS NOT TOLD! Warren the manager, knows it's A SHAM!

    We had a group of about 10 people try this out on a Saturday around 11am without really knowing…read morewhat to expect, and it turned out to be an amazing experience. The staff was extremely patient and helpful--even when we didn't fully understand the concept after a few explanations, they encouraged us to just jump in and even walked us through a game. After that, we caught on quickly and had a blast. We were able to walk in with almost no wait, and anytime we needed a room it was less than 2 minutes. The concept is very interactive and fun--60 minutes was the perfect amount of time to explore without feeling rushed or burned out. Lockers with keys were provided, which was convenient. I understand why drinks may not be available inside given the tech and setup, but that's the only small improvement I'd note. A couple rooms had a slight odor issue, but nothing that took away from the experience. Overall, a solid 5-star experience--highly recommend for groups, families, or anyone looking for something active and different.

They had so many rooms with so many different games to choose from. My advice, dress comfortable because you will move around a lot unless you like losing! The staff was nice and all of the equipment was clean and working properly. They give an hour and a half and that seems like more than enough time to have a blast. I will be back with my kids this time!!

    I've come here a couple times and very much enjoyed it. It's a nerd wonderland! Not only is it a…read morerestaurant but it also is a place where you can come & game both in a play console or a computer station. You may rent out areas for larger groups or even a cute date night. On top of that they have a variety of board games as well as a karaoke area. They hold amazing event nights such as themed trivia and special costume socials for your enjoyment. The staff is friendly and very hospitable. The food is great! They have a variety of option but I recommend the Cowboy Bibimbap, it's delicious and very filling! They also have a full bar and an amazing cocktail menu. Plenty of complementary parking in the lot. Dress code is casual. I'm definitely coming back to try more of their dishes and maybe play some Mario Kart!

    Our visit was on May 16th, 2026. We had large group, which when we called ahead (4 hours ahead of…read moretime) they said that they couldn't take reservations. They told us that we would have to show up and just wait to be seated... fine. No big deal, again we are a large group coming in HOT on the weekend... I get it. We call ahead again, closer to the time we were planning to arrive to double check. THIS TIME they said they could reserve us a space and that it wouldn't be a problem. We get there and everything is seemingly fine. The vibes are good and the waiters are taking orders diligently. We understand that this is a huge group (16 of us) and that we would have to be patient with them as they are with us. So everyone puts in there orders. First wave comes out... I noticed that all the food is cold. Not ideal but the food was good so whatever. Second wave comes out, again the food is cold and peoples orders are missing. Fine. We are a big group, it happens. 3rd wave comes and they are seemingly trying to land the plane with us, finalizing anything that may have been missed while also getting refills. One of my friends that was a part of that first wave was still waiting his burger that he ordered (he had informed them twice at this point). 45 mins later the waiter checks on us again... My friend still doesn't have his burger. Cool AGAIN this is a big group... It happens. My side of the table who got all their food are ready to play some games now. We go to the front counter and there is seemingly a good cop/bad cop routine going on. One host says we can rent a station the other says we can't unless all 16 of go to that station. I told him not everyone wants to play games so what if we just cash out now then the 4 of us that do can just play/sit at the station. "YOU CAN'T DO THAT ITS AGAINST THE POLICIES" O....kay... whatever don't take my money, I then tell him I'd like to cash out anyway. "YOU CAN'T DO THAT!" I can't pay you now? "THE TAB CAN ONLY BE SPLIT 5 WAYS" Huh? So not only was this not brought to our attention beforehand but you want to be a jerk about it? There reason was because some people run out on the bill and things get missed. Meanwhile the entire table is sitting here with their cards out ready to pay you? Not to mention if something is missed thats on YOU as you are the person entering the stuff into the system. Mind you we still have folks that were missing food or order was taken only for it to be sitting under a heat lamp. After some back and forth we paid (which they REFUSED to give us an itemized receipt) only for a smug waiter to come out with the missing deserts with creepy smile to literally say to us "I hope you enjoy it..." Nope. Not eating that. Matter fact we will never eat here again. This has been a yearly tradition for some Dreamhack attendees and I can wholeheartedly say that I'll NEVER step foot in here again more will anyone I associate with. If I could give it a 0 I would.

    My family and I travel around the east coast visiting classic arcades whenever we can. Portal…read morePinball Arcade is just okay compared to many other arcades. Let's start with the good. They have a decent variety of pinball machines. They also have classic arcade games. They offer a variety of beers and snack which is nice. They also have lots of seating and stools. Stools are great because you can play while you sit which is great. Now for the bad. If you're looking for a classic arcade feel this is not the place. It's so quiet! Really all we heard was the ambient music (80s-90s hair bands which I love) but not why I'm here. Classic arcades are filled with the sounds of the games. Sadly there was little of that. Many of the video games had volume so low we couldn't hear them at all. The ones we could we had to strain to hear it. Also the upkeep of the games was not great. The terminator gun didn't work well at all, QBert was down, The Simpsons was down, dig dug was down. Star Wars was a 1-up system you can buy at Walmart and worn out, terrible experience. Many of the joy sticks were in need of maintenance as well. The Neo-Geo was not a MVS but rather a poor emulator that had color problems and terrible video tearing plus awful audio. Let's talk about the pinball machines. Most were modern machines that are still available for purchase. I saw a couple older ones but there was no information provided about the age. Overall this just okay. Many of the machines are not taken care of and this really ruins the experience for gamers.

Flippin' Ladies Night was a blast. Amazing humans, great vibes, and enough pinball to activate my inner feral arcade goblin in the best way possible. Here's what I loved: you pay for time, not per game. Which means unlimited pinball + arcade chaos while sipping drinks from the bar, vibing to good music, and making new friends between flippers. It's basically a retro playground for grownups who still love buttons that go clack. The atmosphere is welcoming, fun, and delightfully unpretentious. One minute you're strangers, the next minute you're cheering each other on like you've been in a league together for years. I came in spontaneous... next time I might actually plan ahead because WOW. Also, firm believer in this life rule: if it's not a hell yes, it's a hell no. Well friends... this place is a HELL YES. 10/10 would wander in again. Bring friends. Make friends. Flip everything.

    ''Modern day arcade'' really is what you can say in short about this place. What more is that they…read morehave a great team that cares about the community and wants to see people come together through game play. Kris and his team are family oriented and has a lot to offer here for the kids or the kid in the adults that just want to play with other grown-ups for a bit in an open, friendly environment! They are in the works of creating more events but very open to feedback as well as suggestions and ideas for events, which is a big thing that I like about this place! Not many businesses the community can call something that they really share like that. Other things that I noticed (as one might in a place like this) is the cleanliness and the organization of the place. They really do keep it presentable and clean which is important to help keep patrons healthy and the germs away! This was something I pointed out and they told me that they keep the place clean as possible on a regular basis. I can get behind this! So, if you are looking for the next memorable birthday bash for your kids, a place for them to play while you have a date of your own, or you just want to check out the latest and greatest games in a laid back environment for a great price, give them a call and check this place out! You heard it from me first. This place has potential to be a highlight in the Kennesaw community!
