Staff is friendly however the bowling lanes in the private room by the door are iffy. Twice now we've gotten the 2 lanes and there is no reset button. Once it got locked, we requested service which took plenty of time off our play time (NOT FAIR when you're paying by the hour!!). The other time, a ball was just rolled down which reset but unsure how it affected the score. Bumpers popped up unexpectedly for one player. Had to request they be taken down. The food is meh..... sliders, fried pickles (which are speared), egg rolls, wings, mozzarella sticks. Prizes aren't anything to play over. Variety of games to play though (similar to many other game venues). Do recommend laser tag! The set up is good. Two stories, high and low walls to hide behind. Tables can be cleaned more often but fairly clean overall. read more

I used to love coming here to bowl but the staff does nothing about disruptive bowlers. The last 3 times I have come here, there has been neighboring lanes with kids running around my lane and screaming the entire time. Every time I talk to the staff, they have an attitude and act like there is nothing they can do. Today, the customer rep (red and black spilt hair), shut me down the second I asked if anything could be done. I had to go back and forth getting a ton of attitude until they ask if I wanted to talk to them. Please see the video read more

Spare time is a lot of fun. We go occasionally. They offer specials on weekdays, check website for that. Also, we had many birthday parties to attend here that we decided to have one for our son this year. Party was great. Everything was set up, no hassle for the parents. Staff is nice and polite, never had any issues. read more

It's so Fun AND Lively, after a bit (We were the First set of Bowlers, taking 2 Lanes)! Food was Amazing and Service was Phenomenal!!

Fun place to go bowling and play arcade games! Would recommend going on a random weekday if you want to avoid crowds. The Wizard of Oz coin game is so addicting!! read more

Spare Time is a fun place to take the kids. There are nice bowling lanes, an arcade section with tickets and prizes., and laser tag. Kids get a free pass in the summer, and the food and drinks are decent. Definitely a nice change-up to make memories and keep the family entertained. read more

Go kart racing, arcade games, bowling, an obstacle course -- something for everyone regardless of age or size. We spent an entire afternoon here creating memories with endless laughter while testing our physical aptitudes. Pack the family into the cars and make your way over to Spare Time. You can thank me later. read more

My wife and I had a date night this past week and decided to bowl and play some pool. This was our first time at Spare Time Texas--it's always been a place we pass by when we grocery shop at the Wal-Mart nearby. We decided to give it a try. We came on a Tuesday and were lucky enough to take advantage of their Tuesday 1/2 off deals. We paid a super low amount to play pool and bowl. Walking inside it gave us Dave and Buster's vibes--they have a great arcade area, a dining area, laser tag, a couple spots for pool tables and two areas for bowling. It was an open space, a lot of room for a lot of people. They have an online reservation option for bowling that I would highly recommend people utilize, otherwise you may be waiting a while. If you're open to taking advantage of the place's other activities then you'll be fine, but if it's bowling you just want to do, make that online reservation! There are only two pool tables available, so if it's pool you're looking for, you may not get a table if you go on a busy day. We played pool for about 45 minutes before we were called for our bowling lane. We were out in a special room where the lanes have light displays and the music is loud--it was great!!! It was just my wife and I, but we'll definitely bring a group of friends the next time. They had couch-like seating at each lane and servers were coming and going with drinks and food. We didn't order any food this time around, but it looked like your typical "bar foods"--wings, fries, etc. and alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Maybe next time. Overall we appreciated the affordable pricing and the vibe. We'll be back to check out its other offerings and maybe to try the food. read more

Ok so the games were ok they were fun, but the rest not so good. First they're a Pepsi company so they don't serve my favorite drink. Second the pizza was like eating cardboard it was so thin cold and flavorless. The popcorn was stale like it had been sitting there for days. The service wasn't to great either the people working there looked miserable. And if you asked them for something they act as if you're asking for the whole world. This will be my first and last time coming here. read more

Lots of different activities are available, including axe throwing, bowling, an arcade, pool, and monthly trivia nights. We've been to several trivia nights (Disney, Marvel, and Star Wars) and they were each fun and challenging. The host is great. Service during trivia is hit or miss if the room is full and everyone shows up at the same time. We waited over an hour once to get our food. The food is just okay. The custom trivia drinks were the most fun out of the whole menu. read more

Spare Time Texas Pflugerville - Playing at the arcade (the bottom right drum wasn't working properly). - Laser Tag Near Me - Pflugerville, Texas

Went on MLK day and they open business as us usual am also honor their weekly special. Renting shoes is $4 and per game per person is $4.50. We did not know it is per person per game, so it can get pricy this way. They do have some really good packages across the week and I have attached a picture of it. Inside they have bowling, arcade games, laser tags and the area is really spacious! We ordered an appetizer sampler and it's delicious! Their honey sirachi boneless wing is so crispy and juicy! The mozzarella sticks are a bit cold when they come. I would definitely suggest this place and you should go at one of their deal time to save some bucks! Great activity for super cold or hot days. read more

Been here a few times and I'm still happy with the time spent here. Kids are always having fun. I do think it's a little pricey and it seems like the food service needs more people. Other than that. Their food is of great quality. And they have deals going all the time. Today's deal with Labor Day is unlimited bowling incl shoes rental, laser tag, and videos for I believe $18 till 5 pm. Pretty good deal!!! The Pizza was $18 and on Monday's they have $5 margarita's in plain, mango, strawberry, and pomegranate. Mango is good. Pomegranate is really tart... and I've reached my max. read more

Didn't like the service and too many flies in their food nobody wears head nets or gloves

We love spare time. We were there twice on the same day. Came for a birthday party and everyone had a lot of fun. However, my daughter was too scared to go in the laser tag arena. I wanted her to conquer the fear, so .... We went back with my husband. It was just the three of us in the arena and she quickly overcame her fear, So much that she wanted to go again. I expect that we will be coming here a lot for family fun .... And friend fun. read more

3rd date night in the week and we had a blast. Almost felt like luck to get a lane so late on a Friday night. It is best to come by 10 for the 11 rush and specials. The service was good and the overall setup is pretty nice. They do turn off the lights as well and that is where it was challenging for me to play with all the lights flashing but it was super fun. read more

My family and I went to Spare Time early on a Saturday morning and we had an amazing time! All the employees were super friendly and helpful. The manager, Zach, was kind enough to show us around and kept checking in on us. We spent the morning playing laser tag (sooo much fun) and checking out the awesome arcade they have. We then had lunch at Shakers, which - if you have not had Shakers wings - you, my friend, are MISSING OUT!! They are the absolute best!!! We got two different flavors and Chef Kent even came out and brought us a side of Angry Sauce (hot) to try! After our delicious lunch we bowled and had a blast. As far as upholding Co-vid precautions, this place is top notch. They have all queues marked for social distancing, hand sanitizer readily available, as well as wipes at the arcade. read more

poorly managed and no organization what so ever. kids riding the floor waxing machine during peak hours with an hour and a half wait on a Tuesday. senseless to run half off bowling when a league play that day and the lanes aren't available to the public. terrible idea and clear why it's empty read more

We went to Spare Time on Wednesday and had the best time there! A young man named Bryson was working at the laser tag. He was so pleasant. My kids never played laser tag and they had all the questions, which Bryson answered so nicely. Later on that evening my kids went to the prize counter to redeem their tickets and Bryson once again helped us. He was so patient with the kids. He is what great customer service is all about! read more

We have always loved going to spare time & tonight was great, yet again! We started with dinner & WOW, so yummy. I got the chicken bacon flatbread & omg. Yum. Our server Monique was so sweet & helpful, she suggested the flatbread to me. My husband & toddler enjoyed their food as well! We got a cold beer & went off to play games. A few of the machines were down but other than that it was a great evening. I highly suggest this place for people of all ages. Great food, cold drinks & tons of fun! read more

Spare Time Texas Pflugerville - Half of my chicken bacon ranch flatbread. - Laser Tag Near Me - Pflugerville, Texas

It's been a while since I have been here, I have since moved closer to a rival Main Event. And I'd have to say this place is a lot better. First of all, there's a dedicated adult's only area for bowling after 9pm Second, specials. The Sippin Sundays deal is amazing. And having a nice, inexpensive date is worth its weight in cold. Third, good food and service. When me and the fiance go bowling again, we will likely make the trek here as opposed to the closer locale. It's a better value and better experience. read more

I had a terrible experience with mgr Chelsea, my food order included cheese, I ordered with no cheese. Instead of them saying, oh we're sorry, I'll talk to our kitchen team (40 feet away from our office,) & have them remake it. (Especially since she's a manager too, even if it's different dept, i'm sure there was a person supervising the kitchen she could've spoken to.). No, Chelsea interrogated me about a wet receipt I tossed. I told her I can show you my bank info that says Sparetime, and the photo of the cheese. Altogether I paid approx $23 including tip. We can do anything without a receipt. I work in customer service, it's an easy fix to give the customer a good experience. I came in, talked to , he took care of it with no problem. Chelsea & Gabby need a course in customer service. read more

They decided that the game "let me win" to show that it had been tampered with due to "aggressive" button pushing and fake punching the glass so I did not get the prize I won in that game A PS5 controller that would have been very helpful for me read more

First time visiting Spare Time Texas for our sons 12th birthday party celebration, him and his school friends had a great time. We did the Ultimate Birthday Blitz Party Package. It came with bowling for an hour, :30 minutes of unlimited arcade play, :15 minutes of laser tag, 1000 tickets for the birthday boy, and don't forget the food and unlimited drinks. We also added an extra :30 minutes for bowling and the Bowling Pin souvenir $19.99 that all his friends got to sign. The staff that was all involved making sure this party was a hit and on-site hostess to the manager checking us out we're very professional and friendly. We will be returning again! read more

A convenient date night spot for bowling - on Tuesday's they have 50% off the hour for a lane, along with shoe rentals. The place seems to get crowded quickly after 5pm even on a weekday, there was only 1 lane left available for us to bowl on when we arrived. We played two games within the hour. They have waiters who come by each lane to deliver food and drinks but it's very infrequent, I had to flag a waiter down twice, request service through the machine, and/or go to the bar itself to get what I needed. The service was not very thoughtful. What came as a surprise was the food, we only ordered fries because we weren't expecting anything else on the menu to be good (and fries are hard to mess up) but it turned up crispy and unexpectedly delicious. It comes with a special dipping sauce on the side, we would probably order this every time if we were to come back. 3.5/5 for my review of Spare Time. read more

What a disastrous experience! I was meant to be a fun evening of dinner and bowling for my daughter's birthday turned out to be a circus. And I don't mean that in a good way. From the banner in front of the restaurant, Shakers, that advertises food that isn't even on the menu to a waitress, who couldn't remember everything that we ordered and everything in between. The wait for the food (40 minutes) appetizers coming out with the meals, half of the meals were missing and one had to be returned because the burger had a foul taste to it. Also, with the burger, I ordered sautéed mushrooms for $1 more and literally got 4 mushrooms! I can understand some of this if it was a busy night but there were a total of 3 families in the restaurant so it wasn't busy. We didn't stick around for bowling....horrible, horrible experience. read more

Great atmosphere. Lots of fun. Staff was great. Food was good. Lots of great games and bowling was superb!

Spare Time is a place you definitely want to go. It is like going on a vacation but not having to leave town. This facility has almost every activity you can think of: arcade, bowling, laser tag, axe throwing, etc. It is like an amusement park minus the roller coasters AND it is reasonably priced. My family spent the day there and my kids cannot stop asking, "when can we go back?" I highly recommend Spare Time for any family outing or celebration. read more

It was just about empty in here! I guess 3 in the afternoon on a Sunday is the right time to come if you want to avoid crowds? This is basically a Dave and Busters with bowling. Lots of flashy video games to get your kids wired up and spending. Laser tag that is pretty cool. Bowling lanes all lit up to glow. No actual tickets though... they just build on your card as you play. There is food although we did not eat and there is a full bar. The full bar has only 3 wines by the glass or for other selections you have to buy a bottle. However they have an extensive cocktail selection... I think the bartender could use a bit more practice though... my old fashion was had tooooo much of the bitters in it. The location was clean... even the bathrooms. There was a lot of space and it was no where near as loud as a Dave and Busters. We had a good time. read more

Went bowling with the family last night. Well actually I did not bowl I just watched. I have been in literally 100s of bowling alleys over the years and having been a avid bowler for 30+ years before a major life event. I was very impressed with the cleanliness of this place. They did a great job of Socially Distancing our group from others. We saw sanitation being done between customers and ever effort to do the right thing. Our family had fun and although it is more pricey than it was 10 years ago when I was a league bowler which I guess is not a surprise it was a good value for our group. Managment keep up the good work. We look forward to our next outing at your establishment. read more

Table of 6: we got seated pretty quick. Took our waiter 15 minutes to come to our table to order drinks (soda's / waters). Came back with our drinks and was missing drinks. Took her another 15-20 to come back / check in. Didn't end up ordering food as it was our time to bowl (wait time to bowl 40min). Do not recommend. Respectfully she looked like she didn't even want to be there. Bowling: was good! Pretty pricey. The man who was assigned to our lane was very attentive. read more

Spare Time isn't the stereotypical bowling alley. They have all the games you'd expect plus more. If your forte is food you're in for a treat. You can score a perfect strike with anything off the menu or contact Bryan Rose and inquire about upcoming food parings. read more

Waited over 20 minutes for a waitress the staff couldn't locate. She comes and doesn't seem to know anything about the games or how it works etc. Odd. Just unfortunate being we drove from Leander to spend money here. Sucks for us I guess. ​ read more

The arcade area was nice. I wouldn't do the bowling again because they didn't have the proper equipment for a 4 year old to bowl. She had to try to roll the ball on the floor. Definitely messed up the experience for us. We almost chose to leave and it was my birthday celebration. I wouldn't get a margarita, stick to beer and you will be good. read more

The food is ehh I get pizza never enough bowling balls for bowling the service for the shoes is awesome though

I visited spare time not too long ago and I really like this bowling alley. I was having a bad day so my game was little off but the customer service was pretty good and so was the bowling experience. I didn't too much like the food, I barely touched it, but the overall experience was great so I would go back and just eat before or after. read more
