This place had a great feeling to it. Friendly locals and incredible food. The bar and our table were connected to the bowling lanes themselves. We enjoyed the excellent music (GNR) and watching the kids have a great time while we had some drinks.
The prime rib was cooked perfectly. The curly fry things were beyond tasty, and the beer was ice cold.
This just replaced the Roadhouse as our new stop when we come through town.

It’s a bowling alley and the food was really good. I know what you’re thinking. A bowling alley has good food it actually does.

I've been bringing groups here for the last eight years. For the first 5 years the food and service was fantastic. Last couple of years everything started deteriorating. Today I ordered a take out, it was my first group of the season, I wanted to see how everything was. I ordered a medium sirloin. It was dry and hard as a shoe sole. I got no fork and knife. I got to my hotel, and just wanted to dump it in a bin. Waste of money. I will never send my clients there.

A buddy said let's eat here instead of the touristy restaurants. I'm so glad he suggested this. My Ribeye steak was sooo great. I melted the garlic butter on it and went to town. Damn!!!! Best steak I've had in awhile. My sides were the salad and veggies. Both excellent!
This is a funky, one of a kind restaurant frequented by locals that's connected to a bowling alley. Our dinner here was excellent, and fairly priced to boot. You might spend a lot more elsewhere in town, but your meal here will be delicious while getting way more bang for your buck.

Tried to call for 20 mins to place an order with no answer phone just kept ringing extremely frustrating.

When told that we had to go to a bowling alley in Bishop for a good steak, of course, we were hesitant. But it's not bad at all!
Food - Pretty decent! You wouldn't think that a bowling alley, of all places would have this good of food, but this place does! Their top sirloin was cooked perfectly to my perfection, but my partner's steak was a bit overcooked. The sides, especially the veggies, did seem lackluster, but still okay.
Service - Very nice waitress. She checked in an appropriate amount of times and was very friendly. No complaints!
Ambiance - It's a small-town bowling alley. Don't expect luxury, but it's also not grimey. We came in on a Friday night so we saw the typical groups you'd see: group of teenagers coming in to celebrate a birthday, elderly locals enjoying their meals, couples who seemed like on a date, families having a fun time.
Great spot and a place in Bishop to check out at least once.

The food here was a nice surprise. I’m staying at the Wayfinder next door so it’s a short walk. I read reviews before heading over, people complained about the noisy bowling alley. I want early in the evening so it wasn’t too bad. I didn’t even notice the bowling from where I sat in the restaurant. I had the Ribeye with seasonal vegetables and a salad. The steak was cooked and salted perfectly. It was tender and flavorful. The service was excellent. Jenah was my waitress, she was attentive and the food came quickly. If you’re looking to have a steak be sure to check the dinner service times. I waited till after 4pm so I could have the steak. I come to Bishop a few times a month and will definitely come back to Back Alley.
