A gem in the heart of Gilroy Loved my experience here and will definitely be returning. First off, the environment and atmosphere is perfect, it's a hangout/lounge, with a bar, a dining area, and of course the lanes. The couches are extremely comfortable, to where you can hangout and drink for hours. All the staff was extremely and accommodating for a Saturday in all sections, bar, bowling and food staff. Lanes felt well waxed without any big grooves or dents which is always a plus. My only complaint would be that the cheese literally falls off the pizza when you take a bite. But other than that, had a great time with the family and will definitely return and recommend this alley to others!

Food great - hamburgers & pizza very tasty; cocktails are great & plentiful Bowling great fun & nice big lanes Staff the best & very helpful Couches comfy & table for each lane Cost was reasonable for bowling & food I recommend coming here for fun & creating memories!

Amazing addition to downtown Gilroy!!! Reserved one lane initially in advance via their website for a Tuesday night to celebrate a birthday with the family and we had so much fun! We had a party of 10, including 3 small children, so ended up adding an additional lane when we arrived, with zero issues. If needed, there are bumpers and bowling assist ramps for the kids too. The check-in was seamless, the service was exceptional, and everyone was accommodating and friendly! We ordered drinks and food as well, which was all great. Everyone enjoyed it, especially the wings! I believe they have a bowling league every Tuesday and Thursday night. The space is decent, lots of table seating area for those who just want to hangout and dine instead of bowl. There's also a large bar area! So nice to have this revamped bowling alley in town and cannot wait to come back! Thanks, Tiffer and Team for such a great experience!

Big shout-out to Gilroy Bowl! Our local special needs support group visited today, and we had such a great experience. The facility was super clean, the staff were so kind and welcoming, and most importantly there was zero judgment, even with lots of excited, noisy, and sensory-seeking kiddos. Thank you Gilroy Bowl for making inclusion feel easy and natural. We'll definitely be back! -- Gilroy/Morgan Hill Special Needs Support and Resource Group

Dev and Chris are the absolute best! Both are so genuine and attentive to each and every guest including myself and my family. We came for my sister Alyssa's birthday and they accommodated above and beyond. Service, attentiveness, hospitality. Thank you all.

First time coming here, I stopped in for a late lunch and had a really great experience. Walked in…read moreand got seated right away and I loved that they offer both indoor and outdoor seating. It wasn't busy for a Saturday afternoon, so the vibe felt relaxed and I didn't feel rushed at all. Service was great and the food came out pretty quickly. I ordered the KFC bowl and it was delicious with just the right amount of spice. Also had the steak bleu salad, the steak was cooked exactly how I asked and tasted amazing. The Gal-Bi tacos were a great appetizer too, full of flavor with a nice hint of spice. Overall everything was delicious and the experience was super enjoyable. Definitely coming back and recommend trying.

We had a party of 10, 6 adults and 4 kids and were able to get seated immediately. Very clean modern place with a really nice and well stocked bar. Food was an interesting combination of pub food and asian fusion, which just happened to fit our tastes. I had the loco moco and my partner had the mushroom risotto. Food was tasty without feeling too heavy for gastropub food and the servers was super attentive to us and the kids. Our friends liked their poke bowl and katsu curry as well. Shout out to our server who went above and beyond getting a toy our toddler dropped behind the bench. Definitely a place to consider if you need a place to rest and eat when you come thru Gilroy, hopefully next time we will get a chance to try our the cocktails!

I've always been more of a Wingstop kinda girl, probably due to it being a lot more convenient…read more I've had 1 other experience with Buffalo Wild Wings beside this recent visit and I must say, the one thing that always remained in my memory was the MANGO HABANERO sauce. With my family and I being in need of lunch, I wanted to give BWW another try... Let me start off my confirming that the reviews at this particular BWW isn't great. Hell, I think its safer to say they are terrible. I was a little weary of dining in but I didn't want to miss out on an opportunity for their mango habanero. Our party of 4 walked in and was immediately greeted and seated. The bar had maybe 2 patrons and 2 other booths were being occupied. Slow for what would typically be a lunch rush but it is what it is. Lunch consisted of: *BOTTOMLESS APPS [CLASSIC: mozz sticks, onion rings, fried pickles, hatch queso, + chips & salsa] *15ct BONE IN WINGS [medium, mango habanero, honey garlic] *3pc CRISPY CHICKEN DIPPERS, served with fries *KING'S HAWAIIAN CHEESEBURGER SLIDERS [golden fire sauce on the side] Food was good. The bottomless apps weren't as beneficial for our party since the fried options got tiresome quite quickly. BUT!! We did make sure to sample a little bit of everything- hatch queso being one of the faves and the disappointment lies with the clearly canned salsa that was offered. The wings were delicious and yes!!! The mango habanera was just as amazing as i had remembered!!! The chicken tenders were a bit dry but the tasty fries kind of made up for that. I highly recommend the King's Hawaiian cheeseburger sliders- the buns were so soft and fluffy, the burger was flavorful, and this is the perfect choice for anyone dining with children. With all that said, kudos absolutely goes out to Natalia!!! You are the primary reason as to why this visit/meal was so enjoyed. Thank you for being patient, kind, hardworking, and so personable. Each and every request was met and your level of A1 customer service was so refreshing. Girl, you undoubtedly deserve a raise!! Yes, there is a wait to place and receive orders. Yes, the server takes a bit of time to make their rounds but that is expected since they are juggling quite a bit. Come here ready to be patient and be floored by the friendliness - a fair trade off if you ask me. 5/5 stars. I'd come back again and you already know mango habanero is gonna be on my order!

Food was disgusting.. also they gave my order to someone else so I had to wait another 30 mins.read more

Kelly Brewing is truly one of those places that works for any vibe -- group hang, date night,…read morefamily outing, or even a solo trip. It's locally family-owned and operated, and you can absolutely feel that welcoming, community energy the second you walk in. They've got a solid lineup of beers on tap with some house staples (Farmer Nelson IPA is my personal go-to) plus rotating options that keep things interesting -- we especially love the seasonal sours. They also have sodas and chips, plus their own craft root beer, which is a fun touch. There's always a food truck parked outside (except Mondays), and we've consistently had great meals to go with our drinks. The space itself is a win: bar seating with purse hooks, several large indoor tables, and a large outdoor patio. Inside you'll find two pool tables, shuffleboard, a video game area and board games. Outside there's ping pong, which makes it extra fun for groups and kids. They also have large restrooms with baby changing tables.

They even let us bring in pizza from down the street to enjoy with our drinks. There's plenty of seating both inside and outside, plus a cozy little couch area to hang out. In the back, they have a couple of pool tables if you want something to do while you sip. They're definitely dog‑friendly, too. One of the coolest touches is the artwork on the ceiling, inspired by the owner's favorite record albums. They were setting up the stage for live music while we were there, unfortunately, we had to leave before the show started. They host a lot of events, including food trucks, which is always a bonus. Their beer selection is wide, and they offer samples so you can find the right fit. I tried the Farmer Nelson Hazy IPA and really enjoyed it. Their pours come in UK pint sizes (20 oz), which is a nice surprise. My wife had the Go Nuts Cream Ale and loved her pick as well.

We visited this Applebee's around two weeks ago after suddenly craving the Applebee's BBQ we…read moreremembered from Hong Kong. The food was shocking. The barbecue meat was extremely tough--so hard that it genuinely felt like it could damage my teeth. It was nearly inedible. More concerning was the hygiene issue. I clearly saw the server's finger touching the food while carrying the plate. Basic food handling should ensure that hands do not come into contact with what is being served. When I requested a to-go box, I was initially given a container that was far too small for the amount of leftover food, without any explanation. Only after I spoke up were additional containers brought, which felt careless and dismissive. Out of consideration for the cooks and other customers, we chose not to escalate the situation and simply took the food to go. However, having lived in the U.S. for many years, this was a rare and deeply unpleasant experience--one that felt not just poorly handled, but genuinely insulting and unacceptable. Despite everything, we did not leave without tipping. We still left a 10% tip out of basic courtesy. I worked as a waitress myself when I first came to the U.S., so I understand how demanding service work can be, and we are usually very generous with tips. That is exactly why this experience was especially disappointing and hard to accept

They just do a few a little differently I noticed. When I come, I order a pound of shrimp: jellyfish smack, medium, with an addition of sausage. (Corn and potatoes too if I'm feeling really hungry.)

Unlike the other seafood boil places the food came in a ceramic serving tray. We ordered the house sauce with medium spice with shrimp, king crab and clams.The spice level was perfect and so was the sauce. Very pleased with this service, portions, pricing and the flavors. Definitely coming back to taste several other items on the menu. I would have loved for them to play some music rather than the silence. I wasn't too bothered. Y it though since I was too focused on the food.
