    I’m so glad I chose Bowl & Barrel for my pre-teen’s birthday celebration. I made the reservation with Taylor over the phone, and she was amazing. She even saved me money by letting me know that one lane can accommodate up to eight players so I didn’t need to book two. The day of the celebration went smoothly. The staff at the front desk and our food servers were wonderful. We ordered quite a bit of food and drinks, and everything arrived quickly. The food was delicious! We tried the burgers and fries, cheese pizza, empanadas, Korean sticks, French fries, stuffed mushrooms, and salad, and they were all equally tasty. I was thoroughly impressed with this establishment, and we will definitely be back. However, if you’re a serious bowler, note that the pins are on strings. It wasn’t a big deal for us since we came to have fun and we certainly did but it’s something to keep in mind. That said, this is a fun and family friendly place to consider for your next event or get together.

    It was a fun experience. The sliders were good, the hummus was also good. The service was a little slow but we had a large party. I'd go back for a fun relaxing time.

    Loved the food and the lanes, however our waitress was not attentive, at one point it took 30 minutes for her to refill our drinks and we were her only table. She appeared unhappy about being there all together. It’s kind of unfortunate because if she would have refilled drinks or even check in on us more than once I would have rated 5 stars.
