We went last night I had 3 drinks mostly full of ice in a small glass. I also have multiple sclerosis I choose not to use a cane or wheelchair when I go out.i have my boyfriend to hold my hand bc ms is all about balance for me. A woman walked up to me and gave me a glass of water to suggest I'm not allowed to drink any more. It definitely isn't any of her business why I am off balance I wasn't driving and she should have atleast checked her assumption. Why she singled me out of all the ppl there. I will not return.
Have been coming here recently twice a month to bowl have drinks and food and let the kids have fun in the arcade.
Past 3 visits wait staff has been almost non existent often times playing a full game of bowling before ever getting our drink orders taken. On most occasions I’m having to walk over to the bar myself to order drinks because apparently our server is too busy leaning on the counter scrolling through his phone to do his job.
The food is terrible and inconsistent each time we come. I’m not sure why I keep giving this place my $.
The only worker that does they’re job is the young lady at the main desk with glasses beyond that every other worker seems completely disinterested in doing their job.
The band was okay, one speaker for the base player was screeching the whole time, terrible. Our waitress, tall, thin, very long blonde (not real color), approximately 50ish or more, she didn't even come over 20 minutes to take our order. Then we paid her waiting for change over 1/2 hour went by, we had to find her to get our change, really!!!. Fire that lady, horrible service and the area with the band wasn't even that full at all. I noticed people were getting their own drinks, she never came back to us again. We got our own drinks...horrible service. My 1at time at your establishment, probably never coming back.
Great live music, good food at a decent price, good service, cool arcade. What’s not to like
Don't waste your money.
I went bowling and no one was there to put the balls back on the rack so I just got some from the abundance of them on the lanes other people were using, and the only balls that fit fingers for adults are the ones that are 14 pounds and higher. Also the band is so loud it hurts your ears from across the place. Also the arcade is mediocre at best. But I’ve seen reviews about the food being bad and I haven’t had a bad experience with it. I don’t plan on going back again unless there are some major changes to the bowling
Won't be going here again. Purchased a shot for $11 an then I noticed another charge on my card for $8 tip which I did not approve of... contacted the manager and he said that happens alot by accident... good thing I noticed... so for the inconvenience he said he would send me tickets to use since he couldn't give me a refund on anything and I have been waiting for like a month an did not recieve anything and now I have been emailing him again and no response.
Need a lot more security three times I saw a drunk man trying to put his hand in my purse. Then after he moved along he was putting his hand in people's coats on their chairs. I finally had to leave a concert that I paid $50 for. Wild side was the band I went to see they were subpar very poor..
Employees were terrible and nothing worked
Our server, Melissa, was great. Otherwise, my husband and I will not be returning. They lack seating. I called a week ahead to reserve for 6 people, some couldn't even sit down. We paid 25 for the hour, and only got to play half of the game before it shut off on us. We bought another lane, same issue.... it's not worth 25 at all. You're very close to other bowlers. The drink menu is trash. It was an awful experience for all of us.

Went to Crystal Bee's for the first time and I was not disappointed. Food was excellent, service was amazing and the place in general is awesome. Our waitress (totally forgot her name) was real nice and very personable. Wish I could remember her name, but I know she said she'd been working their since she was 16. Highly recommend.
Fun little spot! Bowling was reasonably priced.Wasn't a fan of having to pay $3 for a card to play games. Found that to be silly. They require you to get a card to play games & then make you pay for said card. I get it is reusable, but it's just wild in my opinion.One of the three pool tables didn't work at all.A server took forever to come over to our lane, my husband went to ask for one and she claimed she'd be right over and another 10ish minutes went by with still no help. We were more than half way through our first game of bowling and still hadn't been able to put in an order. Finally another server walked by to assist another couple & we grabbed her attention. She was incredibly kind and helpful. She immediately grabbed us menus (oh yeah, the first server couldn't even be bothered to do that so we could start looking!) we put in our order of wings and drinks & had so much fun together! Can't wait to bring our daughter here.
We attended this place for a work appreciation day and we all had alot of fun. The staff was very accommodating and friendly.
Seen a rat there the other day, was scoping out to seek a place for the superbowl.. me and a few buddies went got a few drinks, good vibe, good place, but the bartender has a slight attitude and dirty look on her face. Staff stands around on the phones alot. Gives me mixed vibes between kids and adults... bathrooms aren't to bad but not the best...
This place could be GREAT for live music bands. They have an excellent stage amd lots of seating and dance space. The problem is they do a terrible job of getting the advertising out on Social Media. So great bands with excellent sound system and NO PEOPLE in the crowd? Also the SIGNS on that dark road make it difficult to find for a 1st time person. If they actually advertised a CONCERT list for each month and sent out weekly reminders this place could be one of the best local concert places. I would lay down a vinyl dance floor in front of the stage. The pizza is average but good enough for a dance party with friends. If you bring friends you will have fun. Go alone and it will be boring.
