| - I'm not reviewing this place as a bowling alley, since I don't have the expertise to know what constitutes a good bowling experience. If the shoes fit, the ball rolls down the lane, and the pins fall down, it's fine.
This review is all about the food. Which, if you can't tell by the number of stars above these paragraphs, is pretty tasty. To start, the cheese curds are required eating. I think they just take cheddar cheese cubes, bread them, and fry them, but they are delicious when fresh. Make sure to eat them quick, however, because, like all cheese curds, they harden when they cool and have a weird texture after that point.
When you think bar food, you think burgers. And the burgers at the Sport Bowl are excellent. Not only are they excellent, they are fairly priced as well. At lunch, you can get a burger + fries (battered!) + soda for eight bucks. I can see some people thinking the burgers are too greasy, but the grease gives you a delightful "contented, weighed down, and fuzzy-brained" feeling afterwards.
A quick rundown on other items I've tried: the meatball sub was so-so, but huge. Go to Gino's a mile away if you're craving meatballs. The turkey club is stacked high and tastes exactly as you would expect. The patty melt is just a burger on bread, so obviously it rules hard. The pizza is decent, with a crust that tastes like Pizza Hut's deep dish. The fish fry is a lot of good food for a good price. The "Philly" cheesesteak is too greasy even for me.
The best part about the Sport Bowl is that if you feel some postprandial guilt for your frenzied ingestion of large amounts of fat and grease, you can pop over to Willy West next door to get an organic hippie-smoothie. But it will probably cost more than your entire meal here.
