    Alley, child equipment
    J R.

    Took kids on a rainy day and they had a great time. Staff was very friendly and helpful with getting the kids setup. Very accommodating. Bar/restaurant was not open because it was early in the day but staff brought out pizza for a dollar slice...that was very welcoming as kids were getting hungry. There are also vending machines. Lively atmosphere, other patrons were very polite and everyone seemed to be having a nice timesuper clean, reasonable rates...would recommend this bowling alley for families. Really nice place.

    Great place to stop and bowl with kids. I loved that the bumpers go up and down depending on who is bowling. Awesome feature when bowling with kids. Clean inside and employees were friendly and helpful.

    Fun bowling.

    Went bowling with my four nieces and nephews, they had a great time. We used 2 lanes one with bumpers and one without bumpers the staff were all super nice to the kids( they are ages 5-13) helped them with lanes shoes pop and snacks, nice fun family time. Only one of them had bowled before, and they had fun!

    Told Ashley to make me something! Tastes delicious!

    I don't think I've ever come here to play the lanes but I've definitely came here to have a few drinks at the bar, and if your looking for a great crowd and friendly people, I'd come here! Saturday nights they have karaoke. There's a lot of regular karaoke singers who come every week and sing the same song, but it's a lot of fun. The little menu that they do offer is inviting, appetizers - the pretzels with cheese are my favorite - , they also have subs, wings, chicken fingers. I ended up taking a half tray of pizza for takeout last time. It was OK, nothing special, I felt like the dough itself could have been cooked a little bit more. Holy toppings! They smother them on top, which could also be the reason the dough wasn't cooked enough. I also didn't realize it was going to be that big! Definitely can share share share!! The most the merrier!! Come when Ashley is bartending , you won't be disappointed!! Also want to point out that have very reasonably priced drinks.

    The garbage pile on the pool table

    Went to family night had to wait 40 min for a lane because they decide to hold a promo on the same night as league night. So decided to wait in the grungy bar and waited the entire 40 min without getting served yet the bartender passed us several times so he could go out front to send text messages. Not to mention the pile of garbage building up in the bar area and on the pool table. Gave it 1 star because I can't give it zero

    A few weeks ago, we had a birthday party for my husband here. He randomly wanted a bowling party,…read moreand neither of us have been for a long time. We ended up having a fantastic time, and I was really happy with how the party went. The man who booked it for us, I think the owner, was really nice and helpful and in the booking process. I was extra happy when, after I picked a package and gave him a number of people, he allowed me to only pay for the food of the people not bowling despite the package being a set price for food, bowling, and shoes. I expected to pay a flat rate for all, despite my parents not wanting to bowl, so I thought it was kind that he didn't have me pay for them for bowling. The party went off without a hitch! Everyone got shoes and they put us in a couple lanes on the side of the alley so it was more private. They also dimmed the lights so we got to have midnight bowling. Our food package included pizza, wings, salad, and pop. I also added on some nachos and fries, and I was able to have a tab at the bar for pitchers of beer. Speaking of the beer, they had a wide selection of them available for pitchers, including many local and some hard cider! The food was set up right behind the lanes for us so we didn't even need to leave them to eat. I wouldn't expect a bowling alley to have really good food, but we all loved it and my family, often picky about wings, were raving about them. Overall, the experience was lots of fun, prices very reasonable, and friendly and helpful staff. Best part - the 90s playlist they had playing throughout, giving us the most fun nostalgia boost!! If you are looking to have a great time for a party, I recommend!!

    This is a great spot to come and get out of the cold or snow!…read moreI know a lot of people that bowl here, but to be honest, I am not one of them. I have been here a million times to have drinks in the bar and eat dinner though. The bartenders are friendly and funny and quick with your drinks. The food is great. The owner is Italian and makes one of the best white pizzas that I have ever had....and the regular pizzas are great too! If you don't feel like ordering a whole pizza, you can get bar food (including the awesome fries). Everyone that works here is friendly and helpful and it's a nice environment to come hang out in - - and it's family friendly! My daughter bowls here every time that we are in town and my nieces and nephews bowl here regularly. Overall - wonderful, family-friendly environment with good food and a good atmosphere. Oh, and you can order food for take-out now!!! (:

Balls that wouldn't count, not so bad but, I didn't pay to sit and manually insert corrections this entire time. Then it switched to entire frames that wouldn't count so badly that my entire party was on the 5th frame before I even got out of the 1st. A tad ridiculous, Frank and Chris must really be starting to let this place go.

He always acts annoyed, has 0 customer service, and hobbles around miserable because he has a bad back. I get it. I do too. 2 herniated discs yet I worked in customer service for years and never treated customers with attitude and be condescending. As soon as we walked in he said, "Yeah. Can't bowl for long, folks. League bowling tonight." No "How are you? Welcome! What can I help you with." He was quickly corrected by a woman and then he said begrudgingly, "Oh...we already oiled the lanes. I forgot. You can stay." Nice. Then we had a machine that wouldn't reset our names and scores because it was acting wonky. My husband went up. He told him, "Hit reset." So...we did. 3x. No dice. So I went up. He then threw up his hands exasperated, clearly annoyed, and said very loudly & slowly, "HIT RESET" as if I was deaf, dumb, and 4. I said, "I did. THREE TIMES." God forbid you come over and actually HELP even though he wasn't busy at all. You're in pain? Delegate. Take off or man up. Don't be a tool... ​​​
