I am not from Fowler, instead I was invited here for a meeting of about 25 people. Upon arrival the establishment on our side was immaculate as far as cleanliness. We were welcomed by the owner and his staff. I love places that are owner run, you can really tell this person cared and wanted his bowling alley to succeed. He even wanted to get to know his guests but not to the point that made it overwhelming. He allowed for his to bring in cake to celebrate our occasion. The alleys were very well maintained. There were only 6 of them but there were absolutely no issues. The unlimited pop we had was always kept full. The pizzas were not the best but they were hot and fresh. There was another side that was a restaurant and it looked at least 2/3 full. Not sure on what else was on the menu but I would bet many of those guests were regulars. If you are in the area and have some time to kill this place will make you feel warm and welcomed. Glad I came out to this event, I found a new place that I may head back too soon.

Look, I rate local dive bars with 5s because we need them. Ryan's Roadhouse is bigger than a dive…read morebar, but equally needed in its way. Ryan's is where you go when your crowd is too big for the your hole-in-the-wall hometown dive bar or when you're feeling fancy. It is a large space with bar and table seating. Depending on where you enter, you might have to go around the bar to find the host, just keep going. You'll find the seating. If you're in need of a banquet (up to maybe around 100 people?), they also have a well-appointed basement that you can rent, and they will cater your event. Back to the standard bar-restaurant area, they now have digital menus which work well, and they will teach you how to use them. There are specials on the landing page, and then sections for burgers, sandwiches, meals, etc. A wait person will still take your order and handle substitutions, requests, and recommendations. Service is solid, and the food is good. The menu is a bit too broad for it to be great food, but they do a wide variety of things surprisingly well, so you're safe ordering almost anything, though I would question the salad bar, not from Ryan's perspectives, but the guests. Cheers.

We tried three different devices to place an online order and couldn't get to the cart to place the order and pay. Then we called the restaurant and they wouldn't take our order over the phone. Who does that and why?! Anyhow, we ended up sending someone to the restaurant to order. Which ended up being fine since he was going to pick it up our orders anyways. I ordered a chicken bowl loaded with rice, lettuce, banana peppers, street corn, cilantro and onions, cheddar cheese, sour cream, guac, green sauce, and pico de gallo. I wanted black beans too but either the restaurant forgot or the orderer missed them. Even so, this flavor combo was an amazing treat for my taste buds. I really think it was the street corn that made the dish! Lots of lime flavor. Although it was a lot of food, I devoured the whole bowl plus chips and salsa. The chips weren't the greatest, but it was still nice to have that crunch with my bowl. Since we did carry out, I can't comment on the ambiance. But this food would probably be good any where! Just wish I lived closer so I could enjoy it again.

Our chosen Saturday night experience was to gather in Portland. I made an 8-person indoors…read morereservation for 7. When I arrived early just to check in, they said our table was ready whenever we wanted, and they happily started serving us at 6:30. Some people were seated outside, with tent umbrellas to shield the rain, and there was an upstairs room with more of a brewhouse experience. I recommend the latter if you're visiting. The downstairs room felt sparse and too open. Things got a little funky after that. Everything requires ordering through Toast, which worked for most of us but not all. Toast is missing the personal touch of people asking for your order when you are getting table service and not ordering at the counter. The one lady serving us was generous to personally take the order for my one friend who didn't want to put his credit card online. Otherwise, your order is carted over by "teenagers" (the lady's exact quote) from the smokehouse across the street. When you place your order, it comes out as it's prepared. Your table may not all come out at once, especially if it's 7 people like ours. Drink and deal with it, I suppose. But the wait from first dish to last wasn't terribly long. I really enjoyed my sandwich. They did a great job with their smoked chicken - I'm glad I let their smokehouse influence me. It was on an excellent pretzel bun. Great beer. So other than people's rumblings about Toast, we had a good time overall and didn't let the weather rain on our parade.

When you're searching for outstanding food in a welcoming, laid-back setting, Tavern 1836…read moreabsolutely delivers. The only real challenge is deciding what to order--the menu is full of tempting options, and just when you think you've made up your mind, the specials board makes you rethink everything. It's a problem (but I guess a good one to have)! Fried items are consistently crisp and never greasy--clearly a result of the kitchen's commitment to fresh oil. The tater tots are my personal favorite, but the fries are just as memorable. The olive burger (photo) is epic. If you're after something lighter, the salmon is perfectly fresh and expertly prepared. And don't overlook the cheesesteak--it's as good as anything you'll find in Philly. For quality, variety, and genuine care in every dish, Tavern 1836 is a standout.
