The employees are very kind! The space is clean and has many hand sanitization stations. A fun,warm, and simple way to wind down! I appreciate the employees who are working to make sure I have a bit of fun in these trying times.

We visited Spare Time for the first time as a group! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We played one game of bowling and had a few appetizers from the restaurant/concession area. We arrived between 4-5pm on a Friday. It was a little hard to figure out where we needed to go because staff was not in place when we entered the building. There is a front desk (to the left) as you walk in. If you stand there for a moment, someone will help. The desk is also the area where you rent bowling shoes and pay for your game/rental. To the left of the desk you will see bowling balls that you can use during your games. Spare Time was very clean and lively! We also went to the game room to play laser tag. One laser tag game was $8 ... and it was a lot of fun! Overall we enjoyed our time out at Spare Time.

It was a typical bowling alley. Expensive food and drink. Worn lanes. Not a good selection of balls.

I literally stumbled across this place while fighting for my life after forgetting to eat breakfast…read moreand let me tell you: the food is amazing + very reasonably priced. It was so good that I came back hours later to have dinner! I'm picky about my wings & I would come here way too often if I lived closer! Fries were very tasty, the garlic ones were recommended to me over the regular ones and they did not disappoint! Jim and Isaac were excellent--friendly, fast, and polite despite being slammed. Y'all rock!

I recently stopped by Big Z in Lake Placid and tried their spicy chicken sandwich with fries…read more Overall, it was okay -- nothing bad, but nothing that really stood out either. The spicy chicken sandwich was pretty basic. I was expecting a little more kick, but the heat level was mild at best. The chicken itself was decent, but it didn't have that bold flavor or crispiness that makes you crave it again. It felt more like a standard chicken sandwich with a light seasoning rather than something truly "spicy." The fries were actually the highlight of the meal. They were hot, crispy, and seasoned well -- definitely better than the sandwich in my opinion. If I were to go back, it would probably be more for the fries than the main dish. The restaurant itself was nice and clean, and the atmosphere was comfortable. Staff seemed fine and everything looked well kept, which I definitely appreciate. However, the price of the food didn't quite match the flavor or overall experience. For what you pay, I was expecting something a bit more memorable.
