    people sitting in a bowling alley
    Larry L.

    Bowling, Birthday cake, and good times! My son wanted to go bowling for his birthday so I stop in KingPin to see about renting lanes. Once I got in though, I saw that they have party rooms that you can rent for a more intimate setting. So this is where the story gets a little strange for me. I was first greeted and trying to get information about the party room from Eric. He seemed reluctant to give such info, kind of bs'ing me. So after a few minutes I dealing with him I got somewhere with getting a name to talk to someone above him. I started to leave when the person he said I needed to talk to walk past me. I spoke to her, Mary, about what I wanted. She graciously help me and made it seem as though he could have done what she was doing instead of being.......... Eric was trying to tell her some bs policy he was told about booking a party the day before. He almost caused them to miss out on some money. Oh well, Mary got it straightened out. Well the time of the party was met. They provide a Party Coordinator, to oversee everything from issuing out bowling shoes, setting up lanes, ordering the food, and whatever else they can assist with at the bowling alley. Our guy, Dave, did a wonderful job at that and was friendly and helpful the whole time. The bowling lane that the kids bowled on had a light issue where the pins sat. The guys came and fix it after pausing the bowling for like 5 minutes. They just added time that the kids could bowl longer. I wanted to rate this place lower but I'm not going to be pretty because of one person. Everyone else was awesome, the party set up was what I expected, and the food provided by them was really good. If you're looking for a place to have a big gathering, this might be a good option to look into.

    Its December 27, Tuesday they have 1 poor woman working the desk. We counted up to 10 empty and have been waiting for over 30 minutes. Luckily we got something to eat and the food was amazing. I highly recommend the three cheese hamburger!!! Place is clean but poorly managed.

    stopped in during our mini trip. the staff was VERY nice and accommodating. great prices as well. will definitely be back on our future trip!

    They're racist they didn't let us play. They said they were social distancing but they weren't because the tables are close together.

Clean and spacious seating. The staff were friendly and attentive. Strong AC. very clean bathroom. We got kids burger and fries, pretzel dogs and grilled salmon. Hot dogs were buttery and good flavor. The breading was a little thick for me. Burger had a good flavor. Salmon was a little dry but it was good enough for the occasion. All the arcade machines were working. There wasn't many people so it was quite comfortable. I hope they stay open for a long time because this can be a good spot during winter.

We were tired and hollowed out, but Dave & Buster's, tucked inside the Tanger Outlets near the boardwalk, greeted us with flashing neon optimism. The place was mostly empty, which felt a little like wandering into a carnival after closing time. Music bingo was happening, hosted by some cheerful disembodied voice over the speakers. You could play along by scanning a QR code, which I did, because I was curious whether the universe still wanted me to win something. It did not, but it was free and surprisingly fun. The food was good. Not the sort of good that changes your life, but the kind that makes you nod at your plate and think, "Yes, this will do." The drinks were honest and strong enough to make the convention chatter fade to a manageable hum. The service was the star of the evening. Our waitress moved like a well-rehearsed act of kindness, and a manager-type woman floated by often enough to make sure our glasses were full without ever feeling like she was checking up on us. They were so attentive that one of my colleagues whispered that she felt almost important. No one played the arcade games. The blinking lights waited patiently for our game cards, but we were too weary from the day. Perhaps next time. All in all, the service alone was worth the trip. The music bingo was the cherry on top. If the world is an absurd machine, at least it sometimes hums along smoothly in Atlantic City.

This time we came to see our friend playing music in the bar area. The bar was crowded for 4:00pm but we found a table which worked well for us. I went to the bar to get my wife and I some beers and the bartender served us right away. I asked if we could get menus for the table and she sent over our server. He was great. He took our order quickly and came back often to the table to see if we wanted anything else. When I read the menu before coming I knew I really wanted to try the tacos. Between my wife and I we got to try 4 types: - Tuna: This was delicious. One of the best tuna tacos I've ever had. They used a nice strip of good tuna meat and seared it with a nice spice blend. - Mahi Mahi (grilled), Mushroom, Shrimp (fried): all were very good The only reason for only four stars was the price for the tacos. Compared to other restaurants that sell tacos they run roughly a dollar more than most establishments. However the quality of the tuna in my opinion does justify the higher price.

    The TopGolf in Oceans very much exceeded expectations!…read more My fiancé booked 2 hrs of a private bay for us to celebrate our engagement. It was our first time visiting a TopGolf, whether it be their simulation bays or the full size ones. Our waiter was Brian, and he made the experience special. Out of 3 places that we had reservations for and had marked off special occasion of 'engagement' this place was the only one to acknowledge it. Brian brought out 2 glasses of complimentary champagne for our engagement and congratulated us both. The manager, Marco, also came over and congratulated us as well and talked to us for a little bit about it. We ordered some appetizers to snack on while playing different games in the bay. We had to ask Brian & Marco about the food though because it got to an hour and still nothing. They got it figured out and performed recovery, which went above and beyond what would be expected to me. The simulation bays have a wide assortment of games! You can play a few different types of golf games, from playing actual courses, to the top golf style game. You also have baseball, hockey, soccer, football, and zombie dodgeball. We tried a decent assortment of them and enjoyed them all. At $60/hr for a private bay i say its well worth the money. While it was just 2 of us, you can have up to 8 ppl in a bay. It was pretty open in there, with plenty of seating and a nice bar area. Staff were around to help with questions about the games. It was a very enjoyable experience and I have to thank Marco and Brian for helping make it such an experience. We will definitely be back
