    The staff is nice and the food is great but man that smell from the restrooms is terrible. The smell is leaking into the main area.

    It feels like forever since I last went bowling! We had a reservation for one lane for two hours, which included shoe rental, and the total cost was $110. We made sure to check in 15 minutes early, as they suggested. While we were waiting and preparing for our lane, we noticed that everyone was bowling at lightning speed. The service was okay; it felt like the staff was just going through the motions. The atmosphere was quite calm. Although our lane experienced some technical issues that required us to wait a bit, cutting into our bowling time, we made the best of it. FYI, its an older bowling alley. Enjoy!!!

    Empty at 5:45!!

    How disappointing...I reserved on-line for 2 hours with 6 people. When we arrived we were told we only had the remaining hour. I was dumbfounded because we had only arrived 5 minutes after our scheduled time. The attendant pointed out our rental was from 3-5pm. No, it was from 4-6 pm. I pulled up my reservation and low and behold it showed 3-5. I asked what more it would cost to play until 6. He said that wouldn't be an option as they have full scheduled leagues at 5pm. Oh, so maybe the app wouldn't let me scheduled 4-6 but didn't alert me...we'll never know. Anyway, we get our shoes and begin play. We're in the last 3 players on the 9th frame and the lane goes dark and the machine stops. But here we are eating at the Cafe (great btw) and there isn't anybody here. WTF happened to good customer service???

    Lane being fixed again.

    Extremely slow bar and food service. Reservations never on time. Rude bowling rental staff. If you hate your job then quit!! Equipment breaks constantly. Cannot finish one round without numerous failures and needs for assistance. Ask for a discount if you chose daffodil. Be warned. One good thing, is the Pizza is actually really good!

    As a non alcohol drinking family we were looking for some thing fun to do for our sons 21st birthday. This was the place. We did Daffodils Cosmic Bowling experience from 10 pm - midnight. We really enjoyed ourselves and will have that great memory. 10/14/19

    The Rockin Bowl Cafe: I don't think I've ever associated a bowling alley diner is having really good food but this one actually does! I've got to say that I'm actually quite impressed! I've had lunch here several times and each time ordered a burger with the first time being a sourdough burger and the second time a classic cheeseburger both with fries. I guess I expected charge or odd meat, side vegetables and super greasy fries. But this diner is so actually very opposite! Each time the burgers patties seem to be a good grade of ground meat (not slimy or tough) cooked perfectly on fresh buns.Also, the lettuce, tomatoes, onions and pickles are fresh, vibrant and crisp. The bacon on these are also impressive, as they are thick cut and not under or over cooked. The fries are just right and not greasy or too salty. And the staff here is super friendly and courteous and I have enjoyed every interaction. I have yet to still try a breakfast and other menu items and looking forward to it. Overall I think this diner should get two thumbs up because it meets and exceeds all the criteria of what a diner should be: Great food at a great price with great customer service!

    Messy plate, asked for soft eggs, we're firm, food barely warm. Poor service to boot.

    Basing this primarily on the poor service, both slow and unfriendly. Prices have nearly doubled since last there 4yrs. ago but I realize costs are up. The waitress delayed greeting or telling us we could be seated. Finally I asked and she's mumbles " go ahead" We Sat at our booth nearly 10 mins. with just menus, no excuse for not getting us water and coffee asap. There were only 3 tables. She kept stopping to attend immediately to any one that walked in from the bowling alley to get them beverages. Then after waiting a while she's says she'll be back after she delivers a meal out in the lobby. Finally she takes our order and another good 3 minutes brings our beverages. Our food takes quite a long time for some odd reason. When it does arrive about 20 mins later it isn't hot?? What really, has she ignored it for the past 10 mins. sitting back there!! My husband I were were both beyond at this point. We made two requests on our eggs Benedict, soft/runny eggs and hubby's hash browns crispy as we hate albino soft potatoes. Well not only is food barely warm our eggs were both firm, hubby's hash were extra crispy though for sure. I would have sent my food back but she failed to return until asking if I wanted a to-go box. .. plus hubby said we just won't be back. The hollandaise was thick nearly congealed, ham paper thin. I took half my plate home so I could doctor up and heat up later. Sad experience, and waitress obviously tired of her job.

If you haven't been here before, I highly suggest you give them a try. Great vibe, Food and drInks. What else do you need? Only thing we did not like was their Beignet. It wasn't what we thought it was going be. Otherwise everything else was great. Definitely recommend and we will go back!

    Great photo ops, fun decor, a creative cocktail menu, and cool board games! The only downside was…read morethe service from one bartender. We went as a party of four and tried the following: * Sally Sells Seashells - My drink! Basically a piña colada. * Pecan't Even - Like an Old Fashioned, with candied pecans on the side. * Banana Split (don't remember the exact name) - Delicious! It really tasted like a banana split. * Chocolate milkshake mocktail (with alcohol added) - Also really good; it tasted just like chocolate. Personally, my favorites were the dessert-inspired drinks because they're not something you can find just anywhere. Unfortunately, the service really brought the experience down. We came in at 9:20 p.m. on a Sunday as a party of four adults in our 30s. We walked in completely sober and specifically came just to try the cocktails--I was so excited! When we reached the bar, the bartender warned us that last call was in 20 minutes. I inquired, "Oh, so we should just order the second round now?" He replied, "Oh no, you have to finish your drink first." About 10 minutes later, a server came by to let us know last call was in 10 minutes. Shortly afterward, the bartender brought us our drinks. I playfully said, "So I have to finish this in 10 minutes to order another?" He responded, "No, I'm not making you another one." We left around 9:50 p.m., before closing, and I was honestly astonished. We certainly weren't going to get rowdy after two drinks. If anything, every other bartender I've encountered would have encouraged another round or even offered shots--which honestly would have doubled the tip because we're considerate customers. That interaction really soured what had otherwise been a great experience. We were visiting from out of state, so we won't have another opportunity to come back and try more of the menu until our next trip.

    Good service, hope they are successful…read more Need pool tables, more , better positioned dart boards, not by the cold front door.

    Prisoners at Guantanamo Bay get better service than we received…read more I'll preface this by saying it was a packed house for a Seahawks playoff game--so yes, it was busy. That was entirely expected, especially for a rival game against the 49ers. Any competent business plans and staffs accordingly. We arrived and were seated at one of the last tables we had called ahead to reserve. After 30 minutes of watching our section server walk around taking orders and delivering food and drinks to other tables, I finally had to stop her just to ask for water and a menu. Her response was simply that it was really busy. Obviously. But even in a rush, checking in or dropping waters is the bare minimum. As a former server myself, a quick "Hey folks, we're running about X minutes on food, but I can grab drinks" goes a long way in managing expectations. After another 30 minutes, I gave up and went to the bar myself to get drinks. Once halftime hit, I decided to order food to go. That still took an hour, and we didn't receive it until there were about 10 minutes left in the game. To her credit, the server who took the to-go order (a different server) did let me know the kitchen was backed up and followed through--communication that was genuinely appreciated. Throughout the game, I had to return to the bar multiple times to refill our sodas and waters. Our assigned server continued to take orders and deliver food throughout the section, yet not once during the entire game did she stop at our table. Not once. Needless to say, it will be a cold day in Hades before we return. I could be crawling in hunger and would rather meet my maker than give this place another dollar of my money.

Typical dive bar and on…read morethe weekends has great energy and a mix of every type of human that walks the earth. - I don't know what changed from a few months ago, but our "experience"" last weekend was awful. My daughter had just turned 21 and we wanted to take her out, so about 10 of us headed into Bumpy's. The second we walked in we were greeted with eyerolls and a very bi**hy attitude from the bartender. Before we could even order, she yells "We don't serve anyone with a vertical". Okay - well apparently you don't like tips then? In Washington you can't get your horizontal until AFTER you turn 21. So that means the day of your 21st - you're going to have a vertical and probably will have it for the next 3-6 weeks after. Initially they tried to tell us it's the law. WRONG. The only law is that the establishment has to check the birthdate and the photo. The staff at Bumpy's wanted no part of that - which, how lazy can you get?! Call me crazy but I don't think many kids with fakes are going to get a VERTICAL fake! Use your brains Bumpy's. If the liquor board is on your a$$ for serving minors - it's not because you're serving people with vertical IDs. It's because you aren't checking the birthdate and the photo on the HORIZONTAL ID to begin with - and you clearly don't own a scanner. Zero reason to greet customers so rudely. Just bad business all around. Too bad, too.. We're good tippers. That bartender could've made about $300 just off us.

I was asked to order and picked out deviled eggs and nachos! How could you go wrong even if they were so so? Well, the joke was on our friend because they were delicious! The deviled eggs had bacon crumpled on top with sliced green onions and were served on a bed of greens! The nachos were well covered and must have been prepared in layers. Dive bars can have great food!
