Looking to catch up with friends (who have children), while in the area, we needed somewhere kid friendly, that would keep them entertained, and one suggested bowling. This spot was new to me, having been built since I moved south, the entire complex was an impressive upgrade to the former Dedham movie theater that used to reside in this location. Kings is deceptively large, with probably 2 dozen lanes, several billiard tables and a small arcade. They offer a decent menu of sandwiches, pizzas and finger foods, as well as a full bar, with a waitress coming by the lane every so often to take food and drink orders. We hd a good time, it was a fun spot and plenty to do, especially on a rainy day. Pricing was a bit higher than I expected, but otherwise my only other complaint, I was disappointed to find it was standard bowling rather than candlepin bowling. If you grew up in New England, you know the uniqueness of candlepin bowling and sadly it sounds like most of those facilities have closed or converted to regular bowling, which is disappointing, especially when you see young kids struggling to lob the larger bowling bowls down the lanes read more

Food is great! Loooove the short rib grilled sandwich with sweet potato fries and the loaded nacho platter. Also tried the fish sandwich and fish tacos and they're really good too. Recommend signing up for Kings rewards so you get points every time you go which can be converted to crown rewards later on and/or free bowling game or $ to be used towards food or bowling in the future. Have gone here for bowling and food several times and tried different food each time, but the constant orders are potstickers and pretzel that kids love and always ask for. I like that they clean/spray down each booth after patrons leave and place is clean. Food is delicious. Servers are nice and friendly! Fun place and recommend! read more

I went to Kings for Friday Karaoke which began promptly at 9pm. Friday night at Kings never disappoints. The Djs has any song you could think of, not like back in the day with the book. I got the Fiery Mango Margarita which taste like juice and lacked spice. The service was great and the waitress was amazing. The love the addition of the pool table and oversized games. The staff was friendly and efficient. read more

The absolute worst bowling I have ever seen. I regularly bowl and am decent but every ball I threw rolled to the left side of the lane. Either it was tilted or there was no maintenance on the lanes. They had very few options for bowling balls, the girl working there told me that the size small through large on the ball was the weight which is ridiculous and they handed us two left shoes and two right shoes when getting our bowling shoes. After we spent hundreds on food and drinks, we asked for 15 extra minutes and the manager who was a real douche, said there was no way. Absolute rip off of a place. I will never be back. read more

Kings Dining and Entertainment is simply amazing!! On top of bowling and a huge variety of games, they also have some amazing food and drinks!

Very strange vibe at Kings - went for Friday night Karaoke for the first time in a few months only to find out that they have completely torched every good vibe that has ever existed there. Upon arriving - was met with the realization (and actually told outright) that things had changed. First of all, there used to be seating near the karaoke area which has all been done away with. Now, you stand by yourself and can't see or be seen by your friends because there are people playing jenga and pool in the way. You are a good 30 feet from the rest of the crowd. Second, the fun karaoke guy with the good karaoke system is gone. We walked in and the karaoke host came up to us while we were ordering drinks at the bar and asked if we were planning on doing karaoke. We said yes, and he immediately let us know that things had changed and that under no circumstances could we sing any explicit lyrics, because there had been complaints made up to the corporate level and that this was a family friendly establishment. It kind of killed the vibe. Hey Kings - how about making the BAR 21+ at night? Who has their kid out at karaoke at 10pm on a Friday? Whatever. So, we sign up for karaoke. You are told to stand still on the "x" that is on the floor. The karaoke guy kept talking over the karaoke as it was going on into his other mic. He kept getting annoyed that the same four people kept coming up - but the place was dead and no one wanted to sing because it was straight up a bad time. Anyways - had a blast before Kings decided to water it down and change it up but definitely won't be back. The food is terrible and the bowling is overpriced, so there's really no need. The only redeeming quality and why I didn't rate one star was that the bartender was very nice. read more

Called to make a reservation. They don't take reservations. The person on the phone was abrupt and rude. Decided to come in anyway -- came in at 5 pm on Wednesday, Dec 27 and was told the wait would be 1.5-2 hours. We left at the 2 hour mark after getting drinks and eating dinner. They texted me almost 2.5 hours later... They weren't turning around the lanes very fast as people were leaving. One near us sat empty for 20-30 minutes. Cocktails were horrible. I ordered the Fiery Mango Margarita, which was watered down with no mango puree, no Serrano peppers or no Tajin rim, as advertised. Such a bad margarita. The descriptions of the cocktails sounded better than the execution. The food was all right -- not horrible, not great. Our server was nice -- so the stars are for her. read more

My partner and I went to Kings for the Valentines Night bowling and dinner special package and had a great time. Reggie, the floor manager and his staff were attentive from the second we arrived, providing shoes and helping us find our lane. I also can't say enough about the waitstaff as they seemed to read our minds when it came to service. As for the food which was part of the package, the appetizers were so huge and filling that we ended up taking the pizza home and had it for lunch the next day. The cocktails, which were also part of the package were fun but as you would expect at a family friendly establishment not very strong. Because of Reggie and his team we enjoyed ourselves so much the plan is to not wait for a special occasion to return. Thanks everyone for making it a very memorable evening. read more

Burger was good , but messy to eat at bar. They need bar saddles to allow plate closer to eat vs. dripping on shirt for a 7 buck dry cleaning. Bud light beer flatter than a road kill squirrel... Came filled only 4/5 or 5/6 full and 13.00 beer price was tougher than the flat beer to swallow. He did sub the Brussels sprouts for the waffle fries and that was good choice... sprouts needed maple or bacon flavors and too salty... but better than greasy fries. Burger was definitely very good and cooked excellent... I'll come back for food. read more

Not to be confused with Queens Drinking and Boredom, which is located in NYC and is less fun than this place, if we're being honest. This is a really Innovative and interesting place. I honestly wasn't expecting to find anything like this. I was pretty impressed. Oh yeah. So basically what you have is a massive palace of cool games and fun, which is apparently aimed at adults, but it would be really great for kids too. It's a little more expensive than you would probably want it to be, but a lot cheaper than I would expect it to be too. You can get a nice meal here and still spend no more than you do at Dave & Busters overall, which is pretty remarkable. So it would get a 4-star rating at the very least, and I will definitely come here again when I'm in the area, and I'm considering giving it 5, the next trip might even lead to that. read more

Kings Dining & Entertainment - I prefer Queens, especially of the stone age - Sports Bars Near Me - Dedham, Massachusetts

a solid two-star establishment. the music is garbage pop, caraoke sucks. the pool tables are new but the cue stick tips are all worn out and never maintained, this makes the whole pool are useless! Drinks are expensive but the bowling lanes are in good shape. read more

A group of us went to Kings for bowling, drinks and food. The service was fantastic! Very attentive to everyone. The food was great! The bowling was a lot of fun! I'd definitely go back again read more

Service was excellent! Friendly faces and demeanor , everyone was friendly and helpful. Food was great and drinks were awesome! Great place to hanging out with your best buds or family! read more

Kings was okay because l had to wait 2.5 hours to three hours like what but it was good overall

This was my second visit at this location. Weekends the place is packed so decided to go on a weekday. The bowling lanes were easy to get but it is pay by person, which I am surprised, the rates are $20 per person which is kinda steep, but what do I know. read more

Had the tacos taste my needed a little more sour cream for a kick. Drinks were on the light side could be stronger. Busy Friday night for Karaoke was able to get a seat. Crowd was so interactive I had a time. With all the noise my server was on point. Definitely will be back again. read more

Great price on the pool tables. Good prices for bowling and the food is not bad. Better food would make this place a 5. The service is always good though. read more

Everything was good. Hated the over 2hour wait to bowl. They should let people reserve. Even if they charge for a cancellation fee. Sucked waiting so long just to bowl. read more

Waitress MIA was more into her eyelashes than serving us unless 2 lanes were being used. Shitty waitress... Charged us for 2 hrs because she spent half hour trying to figure out how to restart our game. The pizza was typical b.alley crap. Usedto love it. Now not so much. read more

We love playing here, clean atmosphere nice people work here and we always have fun foods pretty decent too

We brought my 9 year old niece to bowl for her birthday on a Saturday afternoon. We put our name in to a 90 minute wait, so we bought an arcade all day pass to kill some time. We had an issue with the card and Cyle at the front desk apologized immediately and fixed the situation right away. Some how we missed our name or time slot to bowl and once again Cyle at the front desk to the rescue. We bought a few appetizers and our server Molly was very attentive and kept checking on us My nieces really enjoyed themselves Cyle and Molly really help turn our day around. read more

This place is overpriced trash. The food is cold and the staff is apathetic, never attentive, and always on their phones. We had to order our drinks 3 different times for them to finally arrive. read more

Every time I visit this place, I have a great time. The drinks are shockingly fantastic, and the food is always prepared fresh here as well. The quality of the service varies, and occasionally the staff is not the friendliest. In addition to bowling, there are arcade games, and they also host karaoke nights. Plenty of ways to stay entertained. read more

You have to go early because it gets crowded real quick. I took my 10 year old son and he had fun. The place is new and clean. The music was good. Our waiter was super friendly and helpful. The food was even good especially for a bowling alley. I had fish tacos. We will definitely be going back and I suck at bowling. read more

Quiet on a Sunday night around 9PM. Didn't have to bowl next to anyone or wait. $7 to bowl, $4 for shoe rental, $3.50 to buy a pair of socks. Plenty of bowling balls available. Didn't like how once the last person finishes, the screen completely blanks and you don't get to see your final scores unless you get them printed up front. Game room was free but they got rid of skeeball to put in mario kart and ninja turtles. Pinball and buck hunter was also available. Pool is around $20 an hour. Clean bathrooms. Plenty of parking. Didn't realize bowling is so expensive these days! read more

My daughter was leaving town so we decided to have a little fun beforehand. I've been to King's before but not the Dedham location. We really loved this place. It was clean, staff was awesome, and we had fun. The food was awesome and the portions huge. We had the nachos, my daughter had the big grilled cheese, and we got two orders of the fried Mac and cheese. Everything was sooooooo good and we left with plenty of food. We will definitely be back. P.S There are photos of all these celebrities as you walk in and I have no clue if that's real or photoshopped lol. read more

We went to Kings for my sister's boyfriend's birthday and it was Kings. Good music, good bowling. However Amelia our waitress made the night amazing. She went above and beyond from the moment we got there. She handled our cake and made sure we had a great moment when we were cutting the cake. She is phenomenal. She really made a regular night something great. read more

This business lied to me and my husband that they were dog friendly (not true lied to his face) then treated him like he was a piece of shit (he's in the military) and made us wait 1 hour and got 0 service and 0 apologizes! DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE! Stay away! The kid who works there was a dick to us and the manager didn't even apologize or try to fix the situation. Not happy. read more

I called Monday for reservations for a lane for 3:15 for today needed to push it for 3:25 and they said that there was no reservation this made me mad. read more

My bartender Jeremiah was the best!!! Super attentive and had me laughing the entire night!! Couldn't have asked to bring in the new year in a better way. Management definitely needs to give him a raise they got a great bartender on their hands! read more

So this one is difficult. There are two very different parts to this experience and I would rate both of them very differently! So overall, I would say 3 stars. DO NOT LET THAT DETER YOU FROM HAVING AN AWESOME EXPERIENCE HERE. This is a great place to come with a group, your family or even throw a party. The cocktails were decent and even if they weren't they have plenty of beer and wine to chose from. The bowling part is most definitely a 5-star experience. Bowling has never been so fun. I grew up in a small town where everyone bowls but its sooooooo borrrrrrrinnnngggggg... You literally just stare at balls going down the lane and generally, the only sounds you would here are high fives and the balls crashing into the pins. This place, however... the lights... the music... It's like a dance party meets a bowling alley. The 3 stars basically reflects the quality of the food. I would give what we ordered 2 stars. The cauliflower app dish was a ball of super sauced mush... not appetizing by any means. We also ordered the southwest spring rolls which were ok. Come on, just drop some decent stuff in a deep fryer and call it a day! Maybe we ordered the wrong things, but that cauliflower is just inexcusable. Overall, a very fun experience but I would stick to the drinks and bowling! read more

This kings is cool. One of the pool tables has the felt ripped and hasn't been replaced. They have an additional bar where the pool tables are. Theres tons of other things surrounding this kings so if you wanted to you can shop, eat and do whatever else. The staff I encountered were cool. read more

I visited Kings once again on Saturday 5/22/2021 and I have to say me and my family had a really really good time, its like the old days my last experience was not good, but this time around was excellent thanks to Kerry one of the mangers that took good care of us and made our experience much better. I will still continue to support Kings as I always done. Thanks Kerry Henderson :) read more

I recently visited and sat at a near empty bar. The bartenders never greeted me as I sat. Unconscionable behavior. I may have to assume race was a factor, given all other patrons were white and served. read more

This place has gone down hill... Drinks were weak-- beer smelled skunked.... Burgers were hockey pucks. Only good thing was our server-- she was fantastic and should look for employment elsewhere read more

Gotta remember to check out Groupon voucher if they have it available. I've paid full price a few times with SO and I'll agree with the other customers that the prices are a bit expensive for bowling especially on weekends. For just 2 games with my SO it cost about $40 plus the rental, before you're even tempted to order food! So you can imagine if you are with more friends it definitely adds up. The wait times are ridiculous if you don't get there early enough but they do have the option for you to kill some time and eat at their restaurant portion. They give you the option to push you up to the front of the waitlist if you dine there, but still doesn't really guarantee a reservation. Each time I've come here with friends we've had a blast though despite the higher cost. The food here also is quite tasty for a bowling alley. Usually at other places they just have chicken fingers, fries, hot dog or just some basic eats. I'd say it's definitely worth it if you have a discount voucher for the fun and convenience of the location in the mall area. Otherwise, I'll just save the splurge for a special occasion. read more

Came here with my husband and my daughter on Labor Day. Decided to take the $16 per person for all the entertainment like bowling, skeeball, shuffleboard, and Billiards. I had a wonderful time and the food was excellent. I ordered the mushroom pizza, the barbecue honey wings, the pterodactyl wings, and some quesadillas and oh my God the Oreo Sunday which was humongously ridiculous for $7.99. which was amazing and I had a lot of fun it was definitely worth the money and time. We were there for four and a half hours. read more

Gone down hill so much. Servers really nice but food, drinks, even the bowling ... So disappointing I used to love this place. read more

I'm not going to waste my time explaining it; but never again and There was a time that I really liked this place. I'm very easy going and willing to except that things go wrong; but I payed 93$ just for bowling and was put on a timer even after they had to send maintenance to our lane 2x. Long story short, suck a bag of roosters Kings, your more like Court Jesters. read more

Went there for karaoke night. The bowling side of Kings was great, the food is good and the servers over there were great. The karaoke side could have been great had it not been for one server. He was wearing a mask, and I do not judge those who want to be careful however he made my group very nervous as he had the mask but continually took it on and off while coming up to tables, getting drinks/food, and in a large group where he was also singing karaoke instead of attending to tables. The waiter sang more songs than most of the customers as well. Very unprofessional and disappointing. read more
