When confronted for their extremely over oiled lanes, oiled to the point where it was physically impossible to get any spin on the ball, the staff stated that the lanes were so oily because they where just oiled today. This is not an excuse. Lanes being freshly oiled should not be this slippery. The balls were so gross that they could not even be held. Multiple people in our group and on the lanes around us dropped the balls on their approach even when held perfectly. DONT COME HERE!

My husband and I visited Strikes and Spares for the first time today. Its our anniversary/my…read morebirthday weekend and we wanted a fun date. We got the 2 hr of activities/1 game of bowling wristband. It was well worth it. This place is very fun! We played a game of bowling, drove the go karts, played a round of mini golf, and played some arcade games. We also both got a cheeseburger and fries, soda, and I got a beer. I will review each activity below. Electric Go karts: This was by far both of our favorite attraction. It's so much fun to fly around the track, and that fact that it's completely indoors makes it even better. Mini Golf: This Mini golf course is small, a bit cramped, and doesn't have the fun effects that other courses have. However, I love the blacklight effect and the circus theme is VERY cute. That being said, both the paint and the carpet could use a slight touch up. I wouldn't pay for the Mini golf separately, but if you have the wristband it's worth one play. Bowling: the lanes were cool (they had a blacklight effect as well) and while we didn't do that well, both my husband and I had fun bowling again. As far as the food goes, we both agreed that the cheeseburgers were actually really good. I had a bottled Budweiser, but they also had a few tap selections as well. They have a TON of awesome arcade games as well. We played the basketball games, skeeball, the electronic bowling game and many more. They also have several activities we didn't try: The "Ninja" obstacle course, the bumper cars, and a trampoline like jumping attraction. If you are a parent looking for a cool place to host a birthday party, they have a decent sized private party room as well. Overall, I give Strikes and Spares 10/10. We both recommend it and are considering coming back on future date nights.

Their drinks are very reasonably priced, great selection, and made well. It's clean inside and they offer typical bar-food till around midnight on the weekends. I personally like the corn nuggets and chicken strips the best; very tasty. The bartenders are friendly and do a great job whether the bar is full or not; Meredith is a fantastic mixologist (she works on Saturday nights), so if you're looking to try something different, all her to make you something special and you will be happily surprised. The bar is non-smoking, which can be a blessing for the non-smokers. I personally do smoke, but have no problem going outside to do so; you can smoke under the covered area near the door which works for me. Overall, I just love the atmosphere of this bar; friendly, comfortable, and a lot of fun without making you feel out of place for being either too old or too young. They also have a couple of pool tables and free shuffleboard, a DJ with karaoke on Fridays and Saturdays starting at 10, and a very diverse crowd. Do yourself a favor and check the place out, cuz it's pretty great.

There was a nice woman who came over to assist us in getting our game started. I'm so glad she recognized that we had no clue what we were doing. She also checked on us periodically and the kids can't wait to return. We will probably have food next time and might play some games.

She said with gift cards the order had to be placed with her. Ok great....she didn't tell us that the bar automatically charges bar gratuity! I noticed that additional almost $6 charge (on top of the tip) and questioned it. Her comment was it's automatic at the bar. I then said but I had to come to the bar in order for the gift card to be used. I'm then told there's a kiosk by the kitchen that could be used too! They fooled me once-won't happen again cause I'm not going back! Very deceiving!

I was skeptical but honestly, because of Pinstripes, this may have been the best work party I've been to. I didn't see a lot of the place because I didn't visit the bar upstairs, and we were downstairs for our meeting-party. The meeting room is quite large and accommodated our group of 50 or so people easily. The food was really good too; we had some chicken, Mac and cheese, ribs, and more. The sliders weren't my favorite because they were really pink inside, so I skipped that. The other stuff I had was quite delicious. But the best part was the games. I mean I'm a board game enthusiast but have never played bocce and now I am wondering why not. It was so much fun. I mean I'm ready to buy a lawn set, or join a bocce league or whatever. The rules are simple but it's fun. They also have a really gorgeous patio area that another group was apparently going to be using, and that space is along the riverfront. I would be super glad if we came back to Pinstripes, to the extent that I'm going to make sure our VP knows how much we enjoyed it. There's no dedicated parking so you'll need to take a taxi or find a spot in a nearby lot. Spothero was great for that, since my spot was cheaper than the validated parking that Pinstripes offers.

She was rude from the moment I stepped up to the counter, not bothering to ask what I'd like, just giving me a nasty look. She seemed like she did not want to do her job.

I waited around 20 minutes for that plate just for it to be covered in what seemed like garlic powder instead of cinnamon and sugar! It was disgusting and her behavior was disappointing. I loved Inman's but I must say I will not be going back now.

It was a blast to bowl again here at historic and iconic Waveland Bowl!  I think I once bowled here…read morelike half a century ago!  You can't beat the prices here either - currently only $2 per person per game til 4pm on weekdays, all ages.   They have 40 lanes here and a big convenient parking lot.  With those prices, there were quite a few bowlers here considering it was 2pm on a Wednesday.   The lanes and automatic scorekeeping were fine as usual.  There's nothing not to like, except for us it was a 45 minute drive into the heart of the northside and relatively out of the way.   But we just wanted to visit out of nostalgia and it was worth the one visit for grins anyway.   Believe it or not, this huge bowling alley used to be a 24/7/365 operation, but those days are over.  Keep at it Waveland Bowl and best wishes!
