My husband and I love checking out new places for chicken wings, so when we heard of Kingpins' all-you-can-eat" (AYCE) wings on Wednesdays, we quickly checked it out.
Kingpins is attached to Sunshine Bowling Alley in DeLand. You can either enter through the restaurant itself or through the bowling alley and food can be ordered while you bowl (as well as in the restaurant). In addition to eating at your bowling lane, there is indoor and outdoor seating available in the restaurant space. Patrons seat themselves and ordering is done at the food counter / cash register.
Decor is simple and minimal with a few nods to Pittsburgh as I'm guessing that where the owners are from. There are wooden tables and chairs (no booths) and the restrooms are within the bowling alley, not far from the restaurant entrance within the bowling alley. The staff is very friendly and they bring your food items to the table when ready (beverages are obtained by patrons from the soda beverage machine towards the back / near the entrance of the bowling alley).
My husband and I went to try the AYCE wings during their soft re-opening as well as two months after that. Although the wings tasted great both times, the price had increased from the first time to the second time and portions were a tad smaller. The AYCE wings also come with fries (which were great as well). Overall a great deal, we were just confused with the price jump and portion size change. Nevertheless, we'll definitely be back! read more
