    When it comes to bowling alley food, I've generally had decent luck. Fitz's Bar inside of Cedarvale Lanes is no different. This is your typical, cookie cutter bowling alley bar feel. Weirdly lit with terrible carpet, a bar straight out of the 80s, dated carpet and overall furnishings. But isn't that what makes it great? I've always had a pleasant experience with the staff. They all always appear to be super busy but stay friendly. They definitely favor the regulars a little but rightfully so. I'm not mad about it. The food is average to above average. They have some insanely good nachos which I strongly recommend. Other things, such as burgers, can be a miss but not terrible. Wings, chicken tenders, and various sandwiches are all decent. I can't say whether or not I would seek it out or go out of my way for but if you are bowling or even just in the area, it's worth having.

    Best nachos I've ever had (and huge!!). Great laneside, unless you're sloppy, chased with an adult beverage. Sunday brunch also well worth the price. We stopped on our way to the airport for a nice indulgence to tide us on the way home.

    Fitz's does a few things well. The Ruban is good. They have a nice selection of draft beers. The restaurant is relatively clean and the service has always been excellent. However, I'd like to bring something to your attention. Please note that it's obvious from the attached photo that corners are being cut on the portion size and quality. The cost and portion size that made this part of the meal unacceptable. *Fried Cheese Curds $8.50.

    Nachos. 9/10.

    Usually stop by before going to a Gophers basketball game. We like because the service is friendly and fast. Good food at very reasonable prices. I recommend the club and nachos. It's very popular so others must think the same.

    On a rainy day like today, this is a great option for food and entertainment; sweatpants and cut-off t-shirts are encouraged (and I'm saying this with love). I ordered the sloppy joe special, which just makes me adore the Midwest even more. I dripped all over my fries (a sign of some good slop), but I didn't eat the fries because they were bland and squishy. The wings were nothing special (but nothing horrid), and the breadsticks were HOT (in temperature). I barely chewed and did that whole open-your-full-mouth-and-breathe-in-and-out-fast-to-cool-down-the-bite-you-shouldn't-have-taken thing. Bread and bowling is a blissful combination that is hard to beat. We made sure to check when league ends so we could time our dinner.

    Soooo Gooood

    Enjoyed a quick drink and appetizer with my wife in between The MN Vikings training camp. McKenna our server was great, polite and on task. Friendly staff, cooks playing around in the kitchen but still sanitary. Enjoyed sharing a delicious buffalo chicken wrap and awesome sweet potato fries. WE WILL BE BACK:)

    Was a busy Friday night at Cedarvale lanes that's for sure. I called ahead to make a lane…read morereservation and was a bit frustrated they didn't take reservations on Fridays. They also told me they had league night which in my experience is a bit strange for a Friday. They assured me they'd still have a lane open when we arrive at 830Pm. Upon arrival they had a huge line and waitlist and everyone had to wait until league got out at 9pm; felt further frustrated. We got onto our lane at 905pm, not the worst as we got a round of pool in prior to playing. From here, the night went nice and smooth. Prices were a lot higher than I remember, $27 a person for 2 hours, but that's the economy I suppose. Got 3 games in, in 2 hours between 4 people. Ordered a couple pizzas, which were okay but a bit underwhelming. Years ago I remember this bowling alley having quite good pizza but it seems they downgraded their kitchen, at least after 9pm, and they only served personal sizes, no large pizzas. Regardless of the frustrating wait, and odd and underwhelming pizza, I enjoyed a nice evening of bowling with friends.

    We love Cedarvale! We like to come here on Sunday mornings when it opens and it's not busy at all…read more The people working the counter are always helpful and nice! There is also a restaurant and you can get service to your lanes to order food or drinks which is great as well. There's a proshop in the alley where I got some plugs for my ball as well and it's all reasonably priced. I highly reccomend this bowling alley!

They have daily specials that are pretty good. Today I ordered the Super Salad with chicken. Came with kale, grains, raspberries, goat cheese, candied nuts, avocado, & figs. I ordered the dressing on the side. I added chicken for an extra $6. They have a lunch special where you can get a full size salad or sandwich and a side of vegetables like brussel sprouts or soup, plus a non-alcoholic drink for $20. Food was good but I felt like everything was on the sweet end. Service wasn't very attentive. We had to call our server for a few things, including to request our check. Bathroom is clean. This wasn't my first time coming here and I do recommend if you're in the area. If you can't find parking in the lot, the garage has plenty of space.

There really is something there for everyone of all ages. There is an omelette station where you can pick your mix-ins and get an omelette made to order. The highlight definitely is the chocolate fountain. Highly recommend snagging a basket of the warm mini donuts and dipping them in the chocolate fountain. Parking can be difficult in the lot, but there's plenty available in the nearby ramp. Service has always been consistently friendly. It's not on the menu, but drip coffee is included in the brunch price. I would not recommend the Honey & Cinnamon Latte. I'm not sure if it was an off batch but when I tried to mix it the cup was half full of a really thick sludge, and the consistency of the mixed latte was thick and mucusy.

The game itself is a mix of lacrosse and number cars - even more fun than I expected, and our group of ~30 year olds plus some parents had a blast. They also have an arcade, bowling, and an escape room - plus probably other stuff I missed! They had tables you could book/reserve which is nice and service drinks and food like pizzas.

I actually enjoyed the birria taco with the consumes. The flavors were there. I think it was evenly balanced out. More meat is always great, but I don't think it was lacking. My son had the tenders, which was OK. The bartenders were also the servers. One bartender particularly was extremely nice and efficient. Both nights we went there were not too busy, but a fair amount of customers. We had a great time and were able to roam around to see what they had to offer.

The best part is that they have a great happy hour and I would recommend finding a time when that is because it's a great place to eat and drink while you bowl. We ordered lots of appetizers and everything was above par frozen food. For a quick appetizers, we were happy. Better than Applebee's any day. Overall, a great place to bring your kids.

It was a late Sunday afternoon and I was looking to take two teens and a five-year-old bowling. $7.50 per person - per game - plus mandatory shoe rental at six dollars per person to include the five-year-old. It all adds up. The bitter berry on my cake is the fact that I paid $35 for an appetizer sampler that would've cost half elsewhere - was COLD when it came out along with the nachos. Mind you the place might have been a little understaffed but they were trying. Two games of bowling, shoes, nachos, app sampler, pop drinks, plus a tip was over $200 as a walk in on a Sunday... is that what it costs now!!!?

Charging $10 per person per game and $6 for shoe rentals adds up very quickly, especially for families. Add to that $8.50 for a kid's pizza and fries and $5 for a soda, and you leave feeling like you've been taken advantage of rather than entertained. While we love the vibe, it's hard to justify coming back when the prices are this steep. Bowlero should reconsider its pricing strategy to make the experience more accessible for families who want to enjoy bowling without breaking the bank. Until then, it's tough to recommend.
