    I have been a part of a league here for many years (at least 5yrs) and the staff is awesome. I…read moreconstantly chat with owners Mel and Cheryl throughout the night and Dale and Lisa are great as well. They don't put up with attitudes or people abusing their lanes or equipment as they shouldn't and I can tell you from reading the other reviews that Mel took the "light" ball because it was probably an 8lb ball that 9 year olds use and people like to whip them down the lane as hard as they can. Don't slander a good business because you wanted to go abuse their alleys and got called out for it. As for the other review September 18, 2016 was a Sunday. Just like the mall (or any other business out there besides Meijer, Walmart, fast food and gas stations) they close earlier on Sundays. They weren't going to stay open just for you princess. As for the lanes, they are great. Authentic wood lanes and approaches lead to a consistent scores and plenty of TVs to catch the Wings or MNF. waitresses for the bar are good and attentive. A great experience for a league.

    I was called an Asshole and was treated as though I was stupid during my experience here. You can…read moreread below for more details. My family and I went to Alert Lanes after deciding bowling was going to be a fun idea after Christmas, normally it would have been. After arriving and starting our games I noticed one of my shoes was decidedly more slippery than the other, causing me to fall more than once. That was no big deal, as all bowling alleys have multiple pairs of shoes. In taking them back up to the front and trying to exchange them I explained why I needed another pair. My reasoning was met with rude and passive aggressive behavior (with an undertone of "hey I think you're an idiot") from the female staff member. But being passive aggressive is not a reason to write a bad review, it got worse. We were starting our second game and my younger cousin and I decided to teach ourselves to curve the ball. Maybe not the smartest of moves, but we thought it would be fun. We chose a lighter ball as not to destroy our hands if we did it incorrectly. We tried it a few times and were actually very successful in doing that, 2 spares and a strike. Between turns the male staff member came up and without saying a word, took the light ball we had been using. We all marveled at this course of action considering we hadn't been rowdy at all. Once the games had ended we took our shoes up to the front and paid. I am a curious person and I had to know why they took the ball away. "Can I ask why you took the ball away from our lane?" The male staff member explained that the low weight balls were for little kids and that if they are thrown hard they can crack. I totally understood that reasoning actually, I just would have expressed that when I went to get the ball from a patron. I nodded and was walking back to grab my coat when I heard the female staff member lean over and say "because you're an asshole!". At this point my patience is gone, I look back quickly and ask "What was that now?!.. Excuse me?!" Immediate denial and butt covering ensued when her actions were questioned. Not such a happy holiday season at the local bowling alley this year it would seem.

I got their seasonal salad which was very fresh and I had a couple allergen modifications that they went above and beyond for. The other food at the table was your typical whatever 2-3/5 star food. Not bad for a bowling alley.

    Disappointed. The food here is usually good. However this time I had a terrible experience. I took…read moremy brother out to lunch and we arrived at 12:20pm. We got our drinks and said we needed a couple minutes to decide on what we wanted. At this point there were two tables with people in the restaurant and one had their food already. At 12:40 a group of 12 people arrived and were seated. As we were waiting for our order to get taken we watched the waitress take the order of the 12 person party. Finally at 1:00pm our order was taken and the waitress apologized for the wait. At 1:20 the table with the party of 12 received all of their food. The waitress stopped by again and apologized again saying that she asked the cook to make our sandwiches first. This is the point where I asked for the bill. The waitress brought the bill and it was $51 for the food that we did not receive yet. I thought maybe they would take some of the price of due to the situation, but they did not since I didn't complain and was trying to keep my cool. Long story short, we got our food at 1:40 in take out boxes and I did still leave a 20% tip. We were late getting back to work and still didn't have time to eat our food. Only come here if you have at least 80 minutes to wait for your food
