I am not from Fowler, instead I was invited here for a meeting of about 25 people. Upon arrival the establishment on our side was immaculate as far as cleanliness. We were welcomed by the owner and his staff. I love places that are owner run, you can really tell this person cared and wanted his bowling alley to succeed. He even wanted to get to know his guests but not to the point that made it overwhelming. He allowed for his to bring in cake to celebrate our occasion. The alleys were very well maintained. There were only 6 of them but there were absolutely no issues. The unlimited pop we had was always kept full. The pizzas were not the best but they were hot and fresh. There was another side that was a restaurant and it looked at least 2/3 full. Not sure on what else was on the menu but I would bet many of those guests were regulars. If you are in the area and have some time to kill this place will make you feel warm and welcomed. Glad I came out to this event, I found a new place that I may head back too soon.

I chose River House Grill this trip since it was a beautiful night, and on the water. While getting off the interstate and heading in to town, I noticed this eerie presence, nothing was open, signs were dark, stop lights not working... I got to River House and a few regulars were still milling around the bar, I was told they were closed due to a power outage throughout the entire city. After some conversation, they said if I had cash, I could still buy a beer (always carry cash!). The regulars moved on, and I was finishing my drink when the power comes back on! The owner Mike had already sent most of his staff home, as the estimated power restoration was well beyond their normal operating hours, but he said he would turn the fryers back on, and start the pizza oven since I was there. I told him he didn't have to and I would head back to East Lansing, but he insisted, at this point I was the only one in the place! Ordered a pizza, and boy was it delish! By the time my pizza had arrived, a few others had managed to come in and fill up the place! Thanks to Mike, Jen (bartender) and the staff who stayed! I can't wait to come back and try the rest of the menu, and see the renovations next time I'm in the area! Cheers!

They were excellent a fantastic crunch from the breading and the chicken was juicy. The sauce was fantastic. It all combined to make wings worth coming back for. I also ordered a 1/2 Ib French Onion Burger ($13). This Steak burger has a homemade chip dip with chips on it, plus sauteed onions, and swiss cheese. It is a unique and delicious burger. The burger itself is juicy and tasty, then you add these unique toppings and it's a home run. The service was amazing. I was there at an off time, but they were very attentive and friendly. Overall a 5 star review. Would I return? Absolutely! Even at 90 miles away I will return. Worth a trip.
