12 lanes set up for Cosmic Bowling on Friday night.
Michael B.

We've only lived in Winnemucca a week, and we can already tell this is going to be one of our favorite spots to bring friends and family when they come to visit us. Our first day in town, while unloading the truck, I kept asking everyone "where can I get a good burger?" And I kept getting the same answer. "You gotta go to Spare Time!" This bowling alley features 12 lanes, which seems to be the perfect size for a town of this size. Inside, you'll walk in and see a bar with a few slot machines to your left, and the 12 lanes for bowling to your right. Straight ahead you'll walk up to the counter where you can pay for your lane and shoe rentals. Just behind that counter, is where you can order and pay for food. We went on a Friday, cosmic bowling night. Pricing was $10 per person for 2 hours of bowling. Shoe rentals are $2.50. I was surprised to see that they had my size (14) readily available. We arrived at 6:50 and were in our own lane by 7:04 with a party of 4. Shortly after 8 PM, we got an announcement for "last call" at the kitchen. I went and placed my order a double cheeseburger combo, and a pretzel. I don't remember exactly, but I think my total was around $22. I also don't have a photo of the menu (sorry) but will get one next time. The burger was truly fantastic. Took about 6 minutes to come out. I do wish it had more veggies, maybe another slice of tomato and some more lettuce. The meat, however, was seasoned well and the Pattie's appeared to be hand formed or at least freshly pressed. I will definitely be coming back for more burgers! Here's the good and the bad about the bowling aspect; GOOD: -The lights (at least on cosmic night) really set the mood here. Very upbeat and active atmosphere. -There are plenty of balls to choose from, and the area where balls are stored are labeled and organized by ball size. -They were very accommodating when we told them we had a larger party (8) and were able to get us 2 lanes. BAD: -Seating for the bowling area. We had a handicapped person in our party, and she had a little bit of a tough time getting down the steps into the bowling area (she was just observing). Once down into the area, the only 2 options for sitting were the round tables with high barstool type seats, or these very low 2 seater benches that were positioned in a way that when you sit, your head hits the counter and you can't sit all the way back. -Music (this one didn't bother me at all, but some people might not care for it). The music played on cosmic bowling night was not censored. It didn't bother me in the slightest but some people with children might find an issue with it (I know mine would haha) And that is pretty much it! We can't wait to be back and bowl regular bowling as well as try more of the menu.

SPARE TIME in Winnemucca, Nevada.

We always stop at Winners Inn when passing through Winnemucca. This trip they were closed Mon Tue. Tried the Tap House. They no longer serve food but recommended the bowling alley. Wow. Great service and one of the best burgers I've ever eaten. My daughter had cheese fries. Fantastic. Bathrooms were clean and nicely designed. I look forward to going back to SPARE TIME next time we pass through Winnemucca.

The wings are incredible! Just enough spice to make you sweat but not enough to make you want to stop.

Wings are amazing!! But the service is ALWAYS lacking in the "friendly"department. No one ever smiles, they always act bothered.

What a gem of a find! We stopped at Along the Way Café while making our long drive back to…read moreCalifornia, and I'm so glad we did. I have celiac disease, so eating safely while traveling can be difficult. I ordered the breakfast bagel to enjoy right away and a turkey bagel sandwich to take with us for lunch. Both were absolutely amazing! They took special care to use gluten-free bagels and clean the surfaces before preparing my food, which I truly appreciated. It was such a relief to find a place that not only had delicious gluten-free options but also took my celiac needs seriously. Everything was fresh and delicious, and it made our long drive home that much better. What a wonderful little find -- I highly recommend Along the Way Café, especially to anyone traveling gluten-free!

Along the Way Cafe quickly became one of our favorite places during our unexpected stay in town…read more From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with kindness and warmth. One of the first people we met was Lanee, and she was one of the people who made this cafe feel special to us. The coffee was, in our opinion, some of the best in town! And if you haven't tried their Jala-Poppin Pepper turned bagel sandwich, you really should. It was delicious! We're so grateful for the kindness we experienced here and will always remember Along the Way Cafe as one of the bright spots during a very unexpected chapter of our journey.
