- LJLiz JacksonDec 19, 20254.0We saw videos of this place online and decided to add it to the list of places to visit while on our road trip. The atmosphere was pretty cool considering we love bowling and the ocean. My family got some kid floats/drinks to share cause they looked really fun and sounded good. They were $7 each, and you get to keep the fish bowl cup they give you. The drinks ended up being cool looking and tasted really good! Only issue was that over half our game of bowling was over by the time we got them. The server was super nice, it just took a long time to get some drinks. We went on Thursday morning so maybe thats why, but there was only two employees at the place and a manager and they were almost never to be found when we needed help, (which was often) The machine kept keeping our balls after almost every single turn or sometimes it would spit back out a completely different one. Took a while to find help, and when we did, it took a long time for some thing to happen. A manager ended up moving us to a different lane for the technical difficulties and gave us some minutes back in our game, cause time was still going down, even though the whole game had stopped and we hit for help/service button on the screen. Overall it was a cool stop, if we ever came back, it would probably be on a busier day of the week so maybe there would be more staff to help.
- SHStephanie Hawkins-LynchDec 5, 20251.0So, we ordered an appetizer combo plate, it was served cold when it should have been hot. We had 2 kids meals. One was pizza the other Mac and cheese. Food was awful. The Mac and cheese was so dry you couldn't swallow it. The pizza was okay. We also had the dinner combo of fish, chicken and shrimp. The shrimp were so over cooked you could barely bite through it. The chicken was still raw in the middle, the batter fell off of it. The fried Hake was off tasting. The coleslaw tasted rotten. The kid's oranges were spoiled. The fries were the only decent thing about our meal. Now we are all home with stomach aches. We would have told someone about our issues, but no one ever came back to the table until it was time to pay. We spent 81 dollars in food we couldn't even eat.
