| - I tried to like this place. I went there for the 2nd time last evening and it will probably be the last. It's a shame, they seemed to have made a lot of upgrades and it's close to my home.
The Good: the staff is friendly. They seem to employee younger folks, and they have always been polite and helpful. It's always been hectic and busy on my visits and the staff keeps up with the work. They seems to have invested a lot into the technology of the bowling lanes. Tons of nice new screens, terminals, and the like (although ours was giving us issues last night and we had to reset a few times, taking away from our bowling time which is a by the hour rate.). If you have a group of 5 you can split the cost and it's quite affordable.
The Bad. FOOD. This place is ridiculous when it comes to food prices. Last night I ordered chicken tenders (I got 4 small pieces), a piece of pizza, order of fries and 2 fountain sodas...came to $21. These are frozen, throw in the deep fryer, fast food type items. To make matters worse, as the cashier was ringing up my items I noticed they were coming up at different prices that what are listed on their menu (it's a giant screen, digital-can be updated easily). My chicken tenders were listed at 6.99..rang up at 7.99. 2.75 pizza, rang up $3, and so on. $4 bottles of domestic beer, $3 drafts...this isn't an upscale craft brew artisan dining establishment, I have no idea what they are thinking.
I can't imagine taking a group of children here for a family outing, it would be well over a hundred dollars to bowl and feed a family of 4 and bowl for 2 hours.
*4/6/16-I should mention that I didn't bring the error in pricing to the attention of the cashier at my time of purchase. He seemed a bit busy, and appeared to be 16(ish), I didn't want to further burden him having to get his manager or add to to his tasks. I just wanted my food to be prepared (he had to ring it up and then go make it). I should have taken the time to bring this to the attention of the staff at my visit. Even if my price would have been adjusted to the menu pricing it was still waaaaay over what I'm willing to pay at a bowling alley.
