- PMPhaedra Morneault1 day ago5.0Maria was very sweet and very attentive.She checked on us constantly and made sure that everything was fresh and hot
- BSBrian SmithNov 15, 20251.0Im here now. Waiting 45 minutes for two kids meals at a table. Not busy. 2 other tables full otherwise empty. Bar empty. Half the lanes empty. No waitress to be found. Get me out of here
- JNJaclyn NicoleNov 14, 20255.0Didn't know this place existed until we came for Bass Pro and saw the restaurant. Figured we'd give it a try. Maria, our server, assured us the food was delicious and she wasnt wrong. We had the fish tacos and the spicy chicken sandwich and they did not disappoint. Maria was a pleasure as well!!
- AAAnthony AsencioNov 2, 20251.0Tried to have lunch with my handicapped brother. Ordered a couple of overpriced cheeseburgers Med rare and medium. Waited 45 minutes still no food. Had the server bring us to go containers. There was a total of 4 other customers in the entire restaurant. When we opened the orders on our ride home both burgers were way overdone. Emailed general manager twice and never heard back. Terrible food and experience.
- CMCristina MartinNov 1, 20255.0We want to thank the Fish Bowl staff for helping us have a wonderful 8th birthday for our son this past Saturday! We got a package, two lanes, and rented the room, and everything was clean, neat, and ready to go when we got there. Everything went so smoothly. We want to give a shout-out especially to our waitstaff, Joseph/Joe, who was so calm and attentive with our group of rowdy 3rd graders, and to Brian, the general manager, who was such a helpful and kind person to us. Nope, it's not cheap, but totally worth it, and the food is also really good! Recommend it for a special day!
