Reviews

This place is truly awful. The owner is unresponsive when we asked for some help getting started bowling. The staff is often rude to clients, the food and drinks are terrible, and bowling and the games are obscenely over-priced. Take your money and have fun elsewhere!

Just saw the "owner's" response to my other review, and I now know that this establishment is not only managed by idiots but also liars. In this hole-in-the-wall shop, I've had negative run-ins with the owner and the staff multiple times. One of them is described below:

One day, I walked in to play pinball and I noticed that there was a free game left on one of the machines, which presumably someone before me had not bothered to play. Like any man who has his wits about him, I went  straight to that pinball machine and started to play. An old woman dressed in thrift-shop clothing was watching me from the other side of the room, and she currently began shouting at me in a deranged manner. I could barely hear her over the noise of the machine, but I could tell she was right pissed about something, so I turned around to address her. She began to hem and haw at me about how I "stole" the 50 cent pinball game from the establishment and what I had done was "not right." I said that if she wanted the pinball game, she should have played it herself. 

My response made her get up and begin walking toward me. At this point, I realized that despite her hoodie and jeans, she was in fact an employee. I explained that I had $5 in quarters which I was planning to feed her machines, but she would not stop harassing me. I left, without even getting to play the third ball of the free game. Despite any contrary responses from the owner, I swear that this is exactly how it happened.

I do not wish for any compensation from the owner, I will not be coming back ever again. I just want to inform others on the shoddy practices of this establishment. Please take this comment into consideration before you spend your Sunday afternoons bowling here. Kimball Farm is just down the road, and they have golf, ice cream, and a better arcade, all for less money and no angry hags to bother you.

The people who operate this place look and act like bums off the street. It's a cesspool run by homeless people. If you haven't read "Cowdog1338's" review already, do so. It is accurate and comprehensive.

Would give them zero stars if I could. I picked up a quarter from the floor by the pinball machines and the owner began to shout at me, claiming that I "stole" it. They get super mad at you if you find a free pinball game, and hate it when I tilt. Nasty staff. Do not spend your money at this establishment.

Very busy place. Good place for Kid’s fun and price is reasonable.
