    Junk yard platter

    Great place to watch bowling and have some snacks or two! Really like the Junkyard platter-great for a family of four

    Old school bowling alley. Doesn't look like it's been updated in years, everything is feels homey but still clean. During covid all the balls are kept behind the desk. While getting your shoes you are able to try out the ball you want as well. Only two people are permitted per lane and no spectators. Your names are automatically entered in the system. I'm guessing so that it minimizes contact. Just leave your balls there once done and they will be taken and sanitized. When you get to the front desk you sign up for a membership if you've never been there before. Your info is taken and you're given a card to show upon arrival from then on. The shoe rentals and games were fairy inexpensive. Came on a Sunday in the early afternoon and it wasn't too busy. Will be back soon.

    Classic dive bowling hangout. Stopped by for a work social event and was pleasantly surprised that we had enough space for our group. We also enjoyed picking out our own bowling balls. I think they clean the balls, which was something I've never seen before at a bowling alley. Enjoyed some fried foods, questionable bowling graphics, and 2 games of cheap bowling. Would be back.

    Great time, great service, so much fun! Kudos to Kevin at the front desk for making our girls' bowling day a perfect experience. If you're looking for swanky, elite and modern - this is not your place, but if you're looking for a warm welcome, friendly service and a great time, give Kent Bowl a shot. It's clean, well maintained and user friendly. We'll be back for another girls' bowling day as soon as we can!

    No gloves handling food and buzzer that people have been touching not sanitized.

Terrible... We had to wait 2 1/2 hours to get a lane. When there was three lanes the whole time not being used. There were three pool tables just sitting there, but not allowed to be used. No reason stated why. The prices are outrageous for their mediocre bar food and for drinks. One beer was $10... same as at the stadium... Our lanes became open about 9:15pm and they did not have my size 13's available, so I could not bowl with my group. At that time, there were 2 open lanes still. When the second game started, I went to the counter and they still did not have my size so I was never able to bowl with my group. I strongly doubt that tonight was the first night that they ran out of size 13. Unacceptable. During the first game, our balls were not being sent back from the machine. So both our lanes and groups had to wait 25 minutes for them to get our balls returned. While waiting, we had two staff members standing in the lanes, I am guessing to prevent anyone from throwing any until the situation ended. There was only one single bathroom for Men available. I literally waited over 20 minutes (no exaggeration) in line just to use the bathroom. Some men were using the Women's bathroom when no one was around. There could not have been any management on site, if there was, they should be embarrassed by the poor quality service, condition of their restroom facility, and use of their amenities for entertainment we're not maintained. Not good for groups, not good for food, not good if you need to use the restroom, not good for anything except dumping your money in the gaming machines. There are opportunities here; that are not being capitalized on, so return business from people will not be attracted.

    I honestly can't recommend this place enough. I was completely blown away…read more From the moment we walked in, the level of professionalism and cleanliness stood out, especially for a kids' arcade and activity center. Everything felt well run and thoughtfully managed. One thing that really impressed me as a parent was the staff member monitoring the entrance and exit. He was incredibly attentive. He recognized us, noticed our child, and was clearly keeping track of who was coming and going. Of course, you should always watch your own kids, but having someone that alert adds a huge layer of peace of mind. We used a Groupon, and if you have ever used one, you know it can sometimes be a hassle, but not here. The process was seamless. A staff member radioed ahead for us, and by the time we got to the snack counter, they already knew what to do. No waiting, no confusion. We were set up immediately and on our way. That level of coordination was impressive. Every game we tried was working perfectly, including VR games, which is rare in most arcades. Even smaller details, like all the basketballs being available at the Papa Shot machines, did not go unnoticed. The kids' drop ride was a huge hit with my daughter, and the claw machines, which guarantee a prize, were a fun bonus, especially as a way to end the visit on a high note. The prize center was also well balanced, with reasonable ticket costs and fun options. They had some great games too, like rhythm games and classics, that made it enjoyable for both kids and adults. The real surprise was the food. We ordered pizza expecting typical arcade food, but it exceeded expectations by a mile. It was soft, fresh, and genuinely delicious, easily better than what you would find at places like Chuck E. Cheese. The entire dining area was spotless, which is almost unheard of in venues like this. Tables were clean. Floors were clean. Everything felt cared for. The service continued to impress throughout. Our food came out quickly, and when we finished, the staff handled all the cleanup. We actually went out of our way to find cash just to leave a tip because the service deserved it. We originally came for the full experience, including batting cages, laser tag, go karts, and mini golf, but honestly, even before doing any of that, I can confidently say this place is incredibly well run. Based on everything we experienced, I have no doubt the rest will be just as great. If you are a parent looking for a fun, safe, and well managed place for your kids that you will actually enjoy too, this is it.

There is a dining option available on site and the food/concessions is good for what it is. The age range of kids we saw is all over the place which is good if you have a mixed age group but also, if you're looking for something for a specific age group, you may be out of luck. This place gives Dave and Buster vibes but has both and indoor and outdoor component. You can earn tickets to redeem for items and I was quite surprised about how big of a venue was here. It was rainy and we stay indoors so I can't really comment on the outdoor components. Overall, I'd come back but it's not my "go-to" for indoor gaming/food activity.

After entering we went to sit in the bar area. First thing we noticed was several empty bar seats and tables but unfortunately they were stacked with dirty dishes and 1/2 finished drinks. That should have been a clue for up to go elsewhere. But we wanted to sit, chat and watch the games televised on the abundance of screens. After sitting down we waited 15 minutes and were not approached. I approached a team cleaning off tables/booths. I asked if we could sit at a booth and was told it'll take us some time to clean off. That took another 10 minutes. Upon sitting down in a few short minutes our waitress cancan took our our. Sadly we were asked to pay our bill before getting our water, drinks and food. BIG MISTAKE! Our drinks showed up in a couple minutes, no water. After looking at our drinks we noticed the glasses didn't appear to have been washed and stuff floating in the bottom of the glass. It took over 20 minutes to get our food. We decided to split the New Triple play. The photo on the menu made it look very appealing. Upon getting the platter we noticed several issues. The pretzel dogs we like dried up slim Jim's in a hard pretzel the was impossible to eat. The smashed sliders only had dressing on one bun a couple diced onions. The chicken wings were covered in the BBQ sauce but were very dry. Only the smash burgers appeared too freshly cooked. The hard pretzel Slim Jim's and chicken surprises felt like they were reheated in a microwave. I had to chase down a bar tender to get water, but was told they ran out of ice. Overall, the was the WORST time/meal/drinks I've ever had going to this establishment. Just amazing for +$80 dollars to have such a bad experience. We are contemplating who to give our $109 gaming cards too. Hopefully you can/will have a better experience than us!

The best chicken fried steak I've had in a long time, second only to Bad Albert's in Ballard (are they still open? I'll have to check). Very good prices for 2026, about $12 to $16 a person, and after four they serve dinner. Great bowling rates, $3.75 per lane Monday through Thursday daytime for seniors, shoes included, otherwise $30 an hour. Roxbury Lanes has pull tabs, but no lottery, and I'm okay with that. Reasonably priced drinks. Only thing is, there are no ashtrays available in the smoking section, nor a place for ciggy butts. I can live with that. Hard to get an open late on Saturday afternoon, that's for the kids, right up to 9:00 pm. The open late, 11:00 a.m., and close at 2:00 a.m, business depending. The opening is on 28th Ave SW, not on Roxbury, and there is a good sized parking lot about sixty feet to the south. That's for the bar, the casino and the bowling alley together. Have Fun!

I'd been here before while bowling but had forgotten how nice the sports bar and dining area really are. The bar itself is a great setup for watching games--plenty of tables, bar-top seating, and comfortable spots to sit. There's a solid selection of beers on tap along with a full bar for cocktails. The TV setup behind the bar is awesome, with multiple large screens streaming different games at once, exactly what you want in a sports bar. The dining area has even more TVs and feels like an extension of the bar, but still family-friendly. The menu offers a good mix of specialty drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic), appetizers, and classic bar food like burgers, tacos, wings, pizza, and more. You can even order online if you don't want to wait, but we were taken care of by a very pleasant and helpful waitress. We ordered the nachos, fish tacos, and wings. Everything came out quickly and tasted great. The nachos were generously loaded with white cheese, ground beef, and jalapeños. The fish tacos were filled with ahi and topped with a sweet salsa that worked really well together. The boneless buffalo wings were plentiful, flavorful, and had just the right amount of heat, served with a side of fries. Overall, we really enjoyed our time here--less crowded, comfortable, clean restrooms, good food, and a fun crowd to watch the game with. This just might become my go-to sports bar.

We had a huge party that wanted to bowl and so we called and reserved some lanes weeks in advance. They got us a decent price - prepaying for two games, and also had a food buffet option, which was delicious. I'm not sure what the average price for bowling is nowadays but we paid $12/person for two games and shoes, and $14/person for the buffet. The bowling machinery worked well for the most part. Although it's design is a bit outdated, everything worked perfectly and we never had to bother the staff to fix any lanes. The food was pretty good, we went for some Chinese comfort foods which you can never go wrong with. The only reason I'm not giving this a 5 star review is due to having an extremely rude encounter with one of the workers at the bar. I was requesting to order more food, and at this time I didn't realize it was an unlimited buffet, I thought we had just ordered a la carte, and so when I asked to order more, the worker continually made me feel stupid by giving me condescending questions on why I was trying to pay. If she simply explained to me that we had an unlimited buffet (which no one explained to me) and that I didn't need to pay, that would've been the end of it. But she had to patronize me and gave me a glare on top of it. Really wish this encounter didn't have to go this way. Overall, I'm happy with the service we got at Skyway Bowl from Robin, Kevin and the team. This is a solid, old school spot for bowling that gets the job done.
