Reviews of Mallwitz's Island Lanes
Tom Butcher
I honestly don’t think I should be allowed to go here during bills games, bills are 0-3 when I go to watch a game here, Foods amazing tho, and extremely friendly staff, probably the best wings on grand island, Only thing I would recommend is maybe having door dash or something for delivery, to avoid me jinxing the bills any more,
Cliff Kendzia

Lawrence Klick
Awesome place. Super friendly staff and ownership, extremely clean, and the restaurant is one of the best you’ll find on the island. You should definitely get here if you have the chance!

We were told by the NY welcome center to go here for Buffalo wings and that they have the best wings. They did not disappoint! They were amazing!! There are SO many flavors to choose from. You got 10 wings for the price you'd get 6 where we live. It's definitely worth the detour off the highway.

I really liked this bowling alley, it was my first time there. A nice quaint 12 alleys, euchre look very new and in perfect condition. I bowled pretty good too, my highest game in about 3 years! It was an early morning league so I didn't get a chance to visit the bar or grab a bite to eat, so I'll update this after doing so in the future. But really, really nice so far.
