The service was spot on and the food was flat out fabulous! I took leftovers home and ate every bite - esp. the feta which surprised me as I already had a great whipped feta recipe. Nope, there's is better. Only caveat is they don't have cocktails but they have great wine options and beer/sodas. We took our dog (huge plus) and enjoyed a beautiful evening!“

“I’ve been going to Radbar for 5 years. Everyone is kind, and the conversations with the girls are always fun to have! Theme and Contest nights are the most fun you can have on any weekend, and Radbar does it right! The drink selection is A+ with IPAs and Coolers for adults and sodas and waters for underage gamers. Keeping it open for everyone till 9pm gives the younger people a chance to experience old school arcades, but of course after 9, it’s a nice relaxing getaway for gamers! 10/10 will keep my business every time!“

Our waiter was hardly checking on us for refills and never apologized or even tell us the food would come out late. (Plus no bread or their special oil.) I know it was lunch, but my highlight was the bread. I don’t know if we will come for lunch for a while, but we will give it a chance for evenings. I even wrote a note on the receipt and left my phone#. But as yet have I received a call.“

“Went there for the Spirit of 1989 show. It was good show in a decent venue. It was extremely hot in there and felt like the heat was blowing on me, but it was cool outside so was able to go out between bands. They had the game playing outside so I could check the score in between bands. There is some actual seats inside and outside the venue, having a bad back, I am unable to stand long periods of time. The bands were good, it was a good time. I would definitely go back for a show there again.“

Especially when Gabby got there and got on stage, her set was amazing and she was by far my favorite.

We were allowed to decorate, and even when we fell behind schedule, the staff didn’t bat an eye. They kindly waited for the birthday boy to arrive and started our lane an entire hour later than planned—no hesitation, no issues at all. We enjoyed our full two hours of bowling, lemonade, and two delicious pizza pies. Every employee we interacted with was friendly and smiling. Our group of 17 had an absolute blast from start to finish. It couldn’t have turned out any better! Thank you, Fort Walton Beach Bowl family, for making our celebration unforgettable! 🎉🖤🎳“
