I had to leave 1 star for service because negative was not an option. My date & I arrived around 730 pm. We entered the restaurant & noticed a small party waiting to be seated. We asked if the bar was open seating, we were told yes & to seat ourselves. The bartender watched us sit while she finished pouring some draft beers. That was the most attention we received. J After patiently waiting for 10-15 minutes or so & being blatantly ignored, we decided to take our business elsewhere.

After a terrible experience about a year ago, we decided to give Uncle Bucks a second chance. Stopped in Monday afternoon to catch up with my daughter and her family. Our server Jocina was fantastic. Great hospitality, great sense of humor, and very attentive to my family, even interactive with the grandkids. The place itself was super cool and the food was great!! We will be back, and we will be requesting Jocina!!

Stopped for the first time on our way through, food was super good. Wish I could say the same for the service. Not friendly or personable.

I ordered chips & salsa as an appetizer & finally got with my crappy burger. Bun bottom had some juice on it and it was soggy. Waited 10 mins to be seated, 20 mins to be waited on. My husband got fish & chips and got about 10- 12 fries. I got about 30 with my burger. My ice tea had 2 chunks of ice in it & was warm. Had to ask for silverware, napkins & ketchup(2X). NO pickles on my burger. We were never asked how our food was. Almost 79.00 for appetizer, 3 drinks & 3 meals. Meals were 18.99 each. Definitely not worth the money & will never be back.

High price point and disappointing food. Spinach and artichoke dip tasted funny and the chips it came with were stale. The fried fish and fries came out cold. Figured we would give it a try after shopping at Bass Pro, but we won’t be returning.

It’s a cool little place to hang out with friends or families with children. You can bowl and/or play arcade games. They didn’t have servers working, so if you are ordering from the bar/restaurant you have to walk up front to place your order. I ordered the Cajun Linguine, it looked absolutely delicious but the taste itself was very bland.

They don't have actual servers. You have to order via QR code. Had I known this before, I wouldn't have gone. The chicken tenders are actually chicken fries. $12 for a handful of fries, 3 chicken fries, and a small drink is wildly overpriced.

I loved the interior design here. The fish tank at the bar was cool to watch while having a drink, the bar seats are fishing boat chairs. The bowling allies are sea themed. The only thing was it seemed very understaffed. Despite that, the pink haired girl that helped us said she just started, and she took care of us very well. As far as the food, the fish and chips was sort of lacking flavor, however the pizza looked like it could be good.

Food is bowling alley food at best. Burnt and greasy with no taste. Will not go back ever! Overpriced garbage!!
We went there just because we wanted fish and chips that were close to us in proximity. We walked in and it was an arcade and a bowling alley too, right inside of Bass Pro Shop!! We got the pretzel and queso as an app and it was out super fast and tasted great. The fish and chips were good, the shrimp and chips (not pictured) was even better. I’d reccommend this for a quick date night, family night, going out with co workers, really any small event. Super cute, service was fast and easy going. 10/10 will go back.
