My friends and I started going to Uncle Sam's every Wednesday night this spring semester and the…read moreoccasional Sunday night. You can't beat the deals. It's gotta be the cheapest bowling around ($1 games and shoes and $6 pitchers of Busch). That being said, it's certainly not the fanciest place around, but when it comes to bowling, I prefer the homelyness. They do the lanes and rebuild the machines every summer, so it's fairly well kept up. There's a snack bar in the middle with great deal prices and a full bar by the door in a separate room from the lanes. Food wasn't anything special, just super cheap, greasy snacks, but that's all I would ever get at a bowling alley. Great regular staff, except for one dark-haired bartender on a Sunday that looked like she would rather be anywhere but there. The blond bartender with the short hair is great and she's usually there at least on Wednesdays. The older man (I want to guess the owner) who works Sunday is also very friendly and helpful and even offered us a free pitcher if we came the next Sunday and we weren't even regulars yet. Patronage was a large variety from kids, high schoolers, college students and middle aged folk. It can get a little crowded at times, but the only time we've been turned away was when there was a tournament going on that we had to wait til was finished, which meant drinking and playing pool at the bar. Bottom line: Don't expect anything super nice; if you're fine with inexpensive items that are well priced, you'll have a great time. I will continue to return.

The place was meh and the people were just a bit odd. Sketchy location and definitely not a place I'd go back to.

Great quick food - some of my faves are the hand pressed burgers, real egg sandwiches, and the pizzas with house made sauce! I have been here many a times and there is signage that clearly states no outside food or beverage. And they do fresh brew some pretty tasty coffee!!! I am a proud supporter of small locally owned businesses, appreciative of their livelihood and small honest profits. Personally, I would much rather patronize an establishment that that has staff familiar with the sport of bowling vs a for profit conglomerate.

It used to be $11 for three games and shoes now it's $12.50. The food here is solid as well. For some reason the fried pickles are delicious. They are crispy and flavorful and they are paired with homemade ranch dipping sauce which is scrumptious. They are in my top 3 for best fried pickles. Overall, Hi-Way is a nice little bowling alley located in the Capital Region.

The staff here were helpful in getting us shoes (we didn't have to turn in ours to get theirs) and setting up the score machines (the buttons just flat out don't work). They also set it up so the gutter guards automatically came up whenever it was time for our toddler to bowl. The music was loud but tasteful, with music videos from the 1960s-2000s. I appreciated the huge blend of types of music, and thankfully there was more that I did recognize than that I didn't. We had a good time and two games took about an hour. The cost, $45 total, seemed a bit high for 2 games of 2.5 people each but maybe that is just how it goes now.
