  A good place to take the family and knock down some pins. I don't recommend the nachos, as they are simply a pile of stale corn chips with cold cheese placed on top. But then again you never really go to a bowling alley for the food.

  We came here today for my son’s birthday, and unfortunately the experience was pretty disappointing overall. The bowling alley feels old and outdated, and there’s virtually no comfortable seating area—no typical couches or places for families to sit and relax between frames. That alone made it less enjoyable, especially with kids. The biggest issue was the equipment. The bowling balls repeatedly failed to return properly. I had to switch balls multiple times just to get one that would come back consistently, which really interrupted the game and took away from the fun. The food was very poor—about a 1 out of 5. The burger didn’t resemble a real burger in either appearance or taste, and the “crispy” chicken sandwich was not crispy at all. Overall, the food felt low quality and not worth ordering. On top of that, the check-in experience wasn’t welcoming. The staff member we interacted with came across as rude and unfriendly—there was no greeting, no thank you, and no effort to make the experience feel pleasant. I wanted this to be a fun birthday outing, but between the outdated facility, equipment issues, poor food, and unwelcoming service, there really wasn’t much positive to say about the experience. With some serious updates and improvements, this place could be better, but as it stands, I wouldn’t recommend it—especially for a special occasion

  I think we would have had fun, but the hours online don't match the hours posted on the door. Could the hours be updated, please? It was a little disappointing after an hour drive to get there.

  Extremely outdated facility, place looks the same as it did 25 years ago. The equipment is just as old and poorly maintained, our lane broke down a few times and the single staff member they had working was too busy working the register and bussing food to fix it for us - since the reset buttons don't work. The prices are crazy for the lack of upkeep and staffing we experienced
