Last year they gutted and renovated the place. It is done up in "nouveau diner chic" complete with red leather stools and loud rock and roll. LOVE IT. They do birthday parties, and the french fries are actually edible!

A pizza slice straight out of the box is like a limp noodle. The only two things that saved this…read morefrom being a 1-star or 2-star review is the ingredients are higher quality than most of the local chain stores and the fact this is a local business so I have to give them some loyalty. However, I can't tell you how disappointed I was with my two pizzas. I have been wanting to try pizza from Oak Bowl & Mario's Pizza for the past few months and ordered it today. However, I ate slightly under one slice from each of these limp noodled pizzas and the rest went straight into the trash. It's hard to explain how I felt after trying the pizza. It's not really good, it's not really bad, it's not really flavorful and it doesn't even feel like I'm actually eating a pizza? The crust is missing that firmness, the bubbles, the crunch, the flavor and the ability to even support itself when grabbing a slice one handed out of the box. My only advice would be to reexamine your entire pizza making process. I would prioritize researching a school, or individual trained in the art of making pizza dough and sending an owner or trusted employee to go learn the process and bring that knowledge back to the business and train others. In the end, I wish I would have taken a few photos to add to this review but I didn't think it would be fair to this business digging slices out of the trash just for a review photo.

We stumbled into this 5-pin bowling alley and what a treat!…read moreMy husband was so happy as he had heard about this style of bowling, we had to play! The game is much the same a scoring reg US bowling, but, the balls are so small! That makes it a lot easier if the weight is an issue. I found I could play this! We had a great time and will be coming every time we are in the area. Oh, and the best part, I beat my husband, who is a regular league bowler... LOL!

The black lighting and disco ball effect adds to the atmosphere on a rainy Sunday afternoon. Current top 40 rock, dance and pop music bring you back to time reality. Two pool tables in a windowed side room. Chocolate bars, drinks and bags of chips available from the front desk. Note, it's more expensive nowadays: $36 for two adults to play three games c/w shoe rental, that lasts about an hour.

We were looking for a place that offers 10 pins bowling. Not sure when 5 pins became a trend…read more Growing up in Vancouver, I have always played 10 pins. We came super far out to Sandcastle for the 10 pin bowling. It was a super fun place. There are things that this place should consider improving: -The bowling balls were very dirty-- -We showed up on a Friday night at 8:30 pm and we were told that there were no lanes available until 9:30 pm. We asked if we can put our name down and we were told that its not doable. We were very confused. The staff there then told us to wait and then we were told there is a lane available. -The laser was faulty and didn't count the pins that were knocked down correctly -The ball got stucks a couple times and it took them 20 mins to fix. -Food was so so here but again they are not a restaurant At the end, we had a great time. There are free parking at front. This place is super busy so do make a reservation. Again, they do have 10 pins and 5 pins bowling. Good experience. They just need to improve the above. Their system looks high tech but we noticed we were not the only groups who were having issues. I would say we have a pretty good chance that we would come back.

Some drinks are a bit watered down but for the most part their drinks are good. Good is good but a bit on the pricier side. Parking lot right behind but sometimes get pretty packed.

Would recommend and would definitely go back!
