Its about 75/hr/lane for 5 people, and I'm pretty sure that the time starts when you pay, so you waste about 10 minutes just getting your shoes on and finding a bowling ball. The people were friendly enough, their shoes will never be stollen (uuuugggglllly, fluorescent green and pink), and fairly busy, which are all positives. There are a nice mix of experienced bowlers and newbs on the weekends, so it won't be too embarrassing if you blow. Do not try to go on a weekday anywhere near league night, they will unapologetically tell you that you are SOL.

We had a variety of food. Our group said the wings, chicken Alfredo, pretzel hot dogs, and Philly egg rolls were good. I do not recommend the chicken quesadilla, very bland. Just chicken & cheese. No peppers. No onions. Just salsa & guacamole. The game area was clean, plenty of games. The human claw machine wasn't in operation (on a Saturday?). Cool prizes to redeem your tickets in the prize section.

Frankie's Review - 3/5…read more While in town, we decided to visit Frankie's after it was recommended to me by my boss, and this time I had my husband and 12-year-old son with me. Overall, it was a nice way to spend time together as a family and gave us something fun to do during our visit. Frankie's offers a good variety of attractions, and my son especially enjoyed the rides, including the claw, roller coaster, and zero gravity experience. We also played putt-putt golf, which was enjoyable, though I personally found the course a bit less challenging than similar places I've visited before. The road course was also on the shorter side, but still fun for what it offered. One thing I would note is that the pricing felt a bit high, particularly for the arcade games and rides, especially considering some of the experiences are fairly brief. We also found the pizza to be a little overpriced, so we chose other food options as well as their burger and Philly cheesesteak. Unfortunately, one part of the experience that stood out in a less positive way was the customer service around some of the attractions. Several of the attendants seemed very nonchalant and disengaged, almost as if they were not very happy to be there. That kind of energy can affect the overall atmosphere and, for me, made it less likely that I would return or recommend it. We also had to wait for attendants to assist with some of the more interactive 3D-style games, which interrupted the flow of the experience. That being said, one of my personal favorites ended up being the carnival 3D shooting game, even though we did have to wait for an attendant before we could play. Once we got on, it was definitely one of the more enjoyable parts of the visit for me. On the positive side, it was not crowded during our visit, which made the experience much more relaxed and enjoyable. I especially enjoyed spending time in the arcade with my family, and that ended up being one of the highlights of our visit. I also want to mention our experience in the bar area with Olivia Jackson, who provided such warm and pleasant service. She was courteous, attentive, and truly showed genuine Southern hospitality. Her kindness and professionalism made us want to stay longer, and we ended up enjoying our food and family time even more because of her. She was definitely one of the bright spots of our visit. Overall, while I have visited similar entertainment venues that I personally enjoyed more, Frankie's still provided a decent family outing and a different experience while we were in town. I would rate it 3 out of 5 stars.

On Mondays their drink special is $5 for any draft, what a steal! We all enjoyed a drink and a few games. I love the decor and vibes in Boxcar, the artwork is really punk and cool looking. My favorite game, The Lucky Duck, was broken (the claw wouldn't extend far enough to reach any ducks). I reported this to a staff member and she let me pick out any 2 ducks I wanted! The Pokemon pinball was fun too, I love the variety of pinball machines.

Great fun miniature golf that takes it to a whole new level!…read more Venue: looks can be deceiving. Doesn't look like it can accommodate 3 courses but it sure can.

It has unique chances a long with it- weather throwing balls, , puzzles, coordination, you name it. It even has a small zip line within! Service: everybody was very friendly Price: reasonable.

There are 3 course Yellow, red, and blue. I didn't realize that there were multiple course until half way through the course I was wondering how I get on the indoor bus. Each course had a uniqueness that made it completely different from the other courses. My favorite from Yellow course was the zip line, red course was the slippery floor and the Rocket , and blue course was the bus and pool table. Each course & hole had an activity thaw was an interactive experience. The cost for this activity was $16 for all 3 courses per person, great price for this experience. The staff were friendly and answered all my questions. I didn't eat but definitely bring a water bottle as they have refill station near the bathroom. The bathrooms were clean as well as the inside & on the courses. Employee was dusting the course in between people finishing their shots. The parking lot was huge, so definitely plenty of parking. I had a great time and definitely recommend, if you're looking for a fun, unique activity. Cheers

The place is huge and great for big social gatherings. I had high hopes when I first got inside but got quite disappointed with the food. I wanted to love the Mushroom Al Pastor tacos, but they're too salty. I found myself reaching for water after almost every bite. I asked for more limes and the ones I got seemed to have been sitting on the bar counter for a while, not freshly cut at all. The menu says it's supposed to have cilantro and charred pineapple salsa. Interesting, I didn't taste any. My friend who opted for the Chips and Salsa said that wasn't good either. Too bad!

The ambience with the bowling and other games was great but no staff person helped us understand or introduced the options. Also several areas were corded off for two private events. The drink wall was almost empty, the fountain sodas were inoperable and the kitchen was closing early on a Sunday night. The staff also used tape to cover 1/4 of the menu items as unavailable. Pagers for food did not work. It was as if the restaurant had just opened and was experiencing new location jitters. Food was ok, drinks were marginal and service poor. I won't return.

The electronic scoring and automatic bumper bowling are convenient features and staff is always at the ready when a slow-pitched ball from a little one doesn't quiiite make it all the way. The food is what you might expect and there are a decent amount of choices from pizza and wings to French toast and nachos. Little Mister is a fan of the French toast and you have the option of ordering it with either cinnamon and sugar or powdered sugar. Well, I suppose you could order it without any sugar at all since you can dip it right into the glorious liquid sugar called maple syrup. Or maybe it is high fructose corn syrup that tastes enough like maple syrup to pass with flying colors. The nachos are sufficiently okay. They get soggy under the cheese, and the chicken is flavorful but nothing to write home about. The potato skins are great dipped in sour cream and you can order them without bacon if you prefer. There is also an arcade that can swiftly devour your funds. Many of the games offer points that can be redeemed for treasures in the arcade store. Ultimately, you can spend a bundle of cash to win enough points for a tootsie roll. I'm exaggerating. But not too much. There are games like Wicked Tuna where you can test your virtual fishing finesse, or Jurassic park where you can blow virtual raptors into oblivion. There's even a good ole hoop-shooting game that tests your basketball skills and gives you points for your athletic prowess. Overall, BLS is a great place to unwind and have fun. Call ahead to see if they have open bowling. They usually do but if not, there's always the arcade if you want to lighten the burden of carrying all that cash in your wallet.

Now, I understand if she needed to get a staff when that happened and that the machine may be expensive but to come over and with a tone and an attitude speak to a child is not okay. Speak to the adult or don't speak. And if the tone had been different maybe I wouldn't be so angry right now but the tone was rude and condescending to a child! I will never go here again and do not take your kids unless you're okay with someone berating them for something that was unintentional.
