I always have a great time here! The service is great and the atmosphere is chill. I sent my son up to pay for another game and for whatever reason my card was declined, but the cashier's boyfriend paid for another game for us🥰 When you think the world is going bad there are still great ppl out there that gives you hope! Definitely a great vibe with great food, and great ppl!

Staff was very attentive during my son's birthday party and when we experienced some technical difficulties they were ready with a back up plan and added additional time to our bowling. The facility was clean and orderly, food was delivered when promised and was served hot. Bumpers and bowling helpers were provided for everyone under 10. Definitely recommend this location for birthday parties!

We took our special needs daughter here to bowl,She had so much fun. The bumpers can be added for one player, which is nice for her. My husband and I can still bowl without the bumpers up. The lady at the front desk is very nice also. The only thing is we have tried several times to go back, and it has been league bowling even though the website says open bowling. So call ahead first.
