    It's a few things you can ask for in a bowling alley... clean, safe, doesn't smell. Lol this place is great. They just needed to turn the music up a lil. Customer service was great ... we showed up after margaritas so we only got a water there.

    Had fun with my friends bowling last night. The place was well kept and clean. Family friendly. It's 35$ per lane and almost 12 dollars to rent out the shoes. It is worth coming out here with a big group of friends. Would recommend

    Love this establishment, best place on the planet to bowl. Outstanding conversation makes you feel so comfortable. HE remembers as though you were here just yesterday. I truly enjoy bowling and comIng here. Will never select anywhere else and they have upgraded their snack bar menu.

    Bowl!

    This was our very first time here and I was pleasantly surprised. From the outside it looked kind of....lifeless. Once inside though, there were many people bowling and having fun. A straight path from the entrance doors is the counter where you get your shoe rentals and are assigned a lane number. The person helping us was friendly and very efficient. There is a food court across from the welcome counter. I can't comment much on that since we didn't have anything to drink or eat while we were there. It was a good size area that was separate from the bowling portion. This visit was really more of a test run that day. We only bowled one game to see if our child would even like it. He enjoyed bowling there and asked to come back again! They had plenty of tables and chairs to sit at near the lanes. The tables were all staggered and I felt like they did a good job with the social distancing aspect of it. They had hand sanitizers stationed where the bowling balls are kept. The bathrooms are clean and are located next to the gift(?) shop where they had bowling balls, bags, gloves, etc...for sale. Along that same wall are lockers. Near the front entrance but tucked away to the side is their arcade room. It's small and pretty bare bones containing an air hockey table, a few crane games, one wall of riding video games and that was it. I like that it's more about the bowling than a bunch of arcade games here. It gives off more of a classic bowling alley vibe. We enjoyed our time here more than I thought we would and can't wait to come back!

    We went on a Tuesday night and it was actually super packed with bowling teams competing so we had to wait for a lane but that when we went to the bar and ate and drank.

It was 8 of us and we only paid about $50 for an hour of bowling, which is kind of unheard of for a group that size. The place was definitely busy, but the staff kept things moving. Our waiter was super friendly and came through with solid drink recommendations (which we *definitely* needed lol). Food took about 20-30 minutes, but again, packed house so no complaints there. Now... the only thing holding this place back a little: the bowling balls. Baby, they have been THROUGH IT some were cracked and pretty beat up, so that could use an upgrade for sure. Other than that, good vibes all around. Plus, they've got pool tables if you want to switch it up. Would I come back? Yes. Would I bring my own bowling ball next time? Also yes lol.

Even though she is a bartender, she has been behind the bar and had to leave to deliver food or get extra side items.

The vibe is always good in her area and the music is really freakin good. If im being honest, im only coming back for Miss Jay, she deserves all my money!!!

We were…read moreable to get a bowling lane for almost two hours, which gave us plenty of time to play, eat and hang out. The food was good, maybe slightly better than what you would expect for an arcade. We ordered two rounds of the mozzarella sticks, the quesadillas, and the pretzel dogs. Everything came out hot and the portions were great for sharing. Our servers were very attentive and checked in with us frequently to make sure our glasses were always full. As far as pricing goes, one bowling lane for 1 hour was $50, plus $5 per pair of bowling shoes, which I thought was reasonable. However, some of the food items felt slightly overpriced, such as $17 for 5 little pretzel dogs. All in all, I definitely recommend this place for a night out with friends and family.

Pac-Man game controller wouldn't work in all 4 directions... ski ball would error out... The Arena either has incredibly poor sensitivity or needs calibration because the actions it was registering were annoyingly inaccurate.... Some games ate up double credits because they didn't initiate the game after the first scan... Prizes here are absolutely not worth the money you invest into playing the games. Even if you win several jackpots it wouldn't be worth it given how skewed the prize system is. Maybe you'd get better value on their half off play days, but otherwise full price days are a ripoff.

The food was very good, with a nice variety of options for guests. Everything was fresh, well-prepared, and served on time, which added to the overall experience. However, they do not offer dairy-free options, so keep that in mind if you have guests with dietary restrictions. For private events, you need to contact their manager and make a separate booking. A minimum of 13 people is required to reserve the space. Payments must be made in advance--at least 25% is required to secure the booking, and the remaining balance is due 48 hours before the event. There is a 3.5% convenience fee for credit card payments, though they also accept checks and ACH transfers. In terms of pricing, it is a bit on the higher side, with Saturday events being charged at a premium rate. Overall, it's a great place for hosting an event.

If we need to call for event info vs booking a date on line, you should remind your staff to answer a call as if they actually want to help your potential clients, by the way they pick up, answer and by providing a name. Had to pull information out of Cesar - including his name. A 2 minute interaction made me decide to plan my upcoming event elsewhere, as well as steer my department away from you for future team events.
