Food and wait staff are good; however, management view of weekend league bowling is terrible. Prices are continually raised while lanes continue to deteriorate. Pin setter and scoring issues become more frequent. Approaches and seating area floors aren't cleaned after open bowling presenting risk of injury. If you need to pre-bowl you pretty much have to take time off work as open bowlers get priority in the evenings and on weekends.
Love this place! The facility is comfortable, the food is delicious, they have a great event area for weddings, parties, etc. The event coordinator, Mia, is wonderful to work with!
Here's the thing- I found the bowling alley and arcade to be quite nice. They have midnight bowling with black lights as well. My daughter went to a party there. My wife and I went to the restaurant while she was at the party. The food we had, while probably better than most bar fare, was not up to average restaurant quality. Also, the service was very slow AND they forgot our appetizer until after our entrees were brought out. So, in conclusion, I would give the bowling/arcade part a 5 star rating, I give the restaurant part a 2 star. In fairness, we didn't try the pizza which both smelled and looked good. So, in summation, Go there for fun, but don't plan your meal there.

Bowling was reasonably priced. The music was excellent, fun lights at night, best bowling alley around! Food was very good! The waitress took our orders while we bowled. She was excellent! Very attentive & speedy. I asked if they had any hand sanitizer & she got her own little bottle from her purse for us to use! Who does that?! Wow!
Bowling Alley atmosphere & price: 5 stars
And finally, a shout out to JACOB the attendant in the Arcade for making our visit & our day amazing! Give this young man a promotion & a hefty raise! My 4 yr old son had his heart set on the stuffed Elmo toy. We spent a lot of time & money at the Arcade & didn't have quite enough to get Elmo. Being 4 years old, my son didn't quite understand why he couldn't have Elmo & he was very sad. Jacob rounded our tickets up so we could get Elmo after all! The smile on my little guy's face was my Christmas miracle. Thank you Jacob!!!!
First impression: "Wow, this place is filthy!" The women's restroom was a disaster. Toilet paper & trash all over. Trash was laying around all over the building. I bought a pop & there was a used cup inside of the pop machine (!?). Below zero out & bundled up. No place to hang our jackets so we were dragging them around with us while trying to play games at the arcade. Arcade has a great selection of games. However a few were out of order & 2 machines took my "tokens" or deducted money from our playing card & didn't let us play the game. I had the cashier return the money but I wonder how many times that's happened without the customer noticing? Majority of the games are $1 to play for maybe 30 seconds ...pricey!!

This place can be fun to bring the kids. Sometimes we bowl with them and play laser tag. Sometimes we set them up with bowling and go to the bar and watch a wild game. They do have pool tables. Stuff is a bit pricey. Best deal for bowling and game is Sunday night they have a great deal for, I believe 4 hours of unlimited bowling, laser tag, and arcade for about $16 a person.
