While it wasn't the best burger I've ever had, it was definitely much better than some of the over-hyped places in the Dells. The burgers were good and fresh, with a nice variety to choose from. We shared the loaded tots, and those were a hit with the whole family. Prices were reasonable for a tourist area, although I was surprised to see my son's bottled root beer priced at $5. The atmosphere really makes this place stand out. It has a fun, retro vibe that's been well kept--a classic, cute bowling alley with a small arcade and a pool table. The service was very friendly and attentive, which added to the overall experience. All in all, it's a solid, family-friendly spot with good food, fair prices (for the area), and a nostalgic feel. We'd happily return.

Same dark and moody vibe it always had and hopefully that doesn't change! They do have a nice out door area to sit and have a drink while listening to live music in the open concrete park.

The friday fish fry: they seem to cater to the "call in, pick up" orders. We were seated immediately(1/2empty dining rm) Nobody was eating & waitress said it would be an hr. til fish would be ready. We ordered at 5:40 and got our meals at 7:10!!!! I would give -5 stars for that. Soon nobody will dine in, the wait staff will quit cuz they only serve 2 tables a night,, bartenders not making drinks, (so not much tip $$). Until they put a limit on takeout orders it will get worse. I won't be back, too bad cuz I live 15mi away.

Our recent trip to Knucklehead was a bit of a mixed bag. On the positive side, the actual arcade…read moregames were fantastic! We spent hours on the racing simulators and the high-energy shooters. The equipment was well-maintained and very fun to play. However, the experience went downhill at the claw machines. They felt like a total scam! The claw had almost zero grip on the plushies. We watched several prizes slip through the prongs every single time. It was very frustrating for the kids. To make matters worse, the ticket prices were way too high. We burned through our credits much faster than expected. It is hard to enjoy the day when you feel overcharged. I hope the management looks into better pricing soon!

After bowling we stayed for lunch, and so glad we did! 3 of the 4 of us ordered pizza, the 4th had a wrap. I ordered thin crust, the other 2 hand tossed. We all ordered our own mix of sauces and toppings. The wrap was tasty as well. This was my first time there, but will most definitely not be my last.

The place is a bar, restaurant and 6 lane bowling alley with all locals. It's funky with the chain door handle and mannequins all over the place. For a small town bar they have a great selection of booze and a few taps of nothing super special. Drinks were as expected. We were going to do a cheese curd basket . The cheese curd basket was typical bar frozen and nothing special like beer battered so as expected. Overall it's a funky space for drinks and bar food. Service was ok with the green bartender but she did ok with another woman just workin the open kitchen behind the bar.

If you're looking for the best bowling alley in Dodgeville, WI, look no further than Dodger Bowling…read moreLanes. This place absolutely delivers on every level--whether you're planning a family night out, group event, birthday party, or casual weekend entertainment. First off, the bowling experience is top-notch. The lanes are well-maintained, scoring systems run smoothly, and the atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between fun and relaxed. It's easily one of the top-rated bowling alleys near Dodgeville and worth the visit if you're anywhere in the area. But what really sets Dodger Bowling Lanes apart is the food--especially the pizza. The pizza here is incredible. Crispy crust, perfectly melted cheese, and packed with flavor--it's honestly some of the best pizza in Dodgeville, WI. Even if you're not bowling, it's worth stopping in just to grab a pie. The customer service is where this place truly shines. The staff is friendly, attentive, and welcoming from the moment you walk in. The owner, in particular, goes above and beyond--genuinely kind, approachable, and clearly passionate about creating a great experience for every guest. That level of hospitality is rare and makes a huge difference.

We asked for four games, he refused saying theres a 2hr policy. So we asked to do 2 games, he still refused saying hes only going to start us off on one. We get to our lanes place our things on the table, he comes down and tells us to put our stuff on one table only even though we got 2 lanes with a table assigned to each. At this point, we just decided to go elsewhere. Asked for a refund and left.

We had lost some money in one of the video games in the arcade and not to use race in any way but some of us in our group were black and it just seemed like Robin had an issue with our appearance is all I can take from it . He was extremely rude basically accusing of lying that we didn't lose any money I mean we're only talking about 75 cents . But he made a very big issue out of nothing and it made us all feel very uncomfortable . I would recommend finding a different bowling alley that Robin guy is not a good man in my opinion . Don't give him your time and especially your money . ​​

The lanes kept getting stuck, the computer system deleted all our info in the middle of a game and it wouldn't allow 2 of our bowlers to bowl.
