Great place . I only came here because a lady by the name of Rozann Mason was slagging it online. The food was great.. service was a little slow but the atmosphere made up for it. Solid 5 out of 5 place

Beautiful place! Ordered Cheese Curds with ranch for an appetizer. White cheddar cheese was excellent and homemade ranch was awesome! I ordered Country Fried Steak. My ONLY complaint was I wish it had been tenderized a bit more, but the flavors were all there! Will definitely be back!

Wow there fish sandwich is soooo good. Must order.. Also Hubby had chicken dinner A+
The burgers have the right amount of seasoning. They taste fresh right off the grill. (They are not meat loaf balls or charred circles between two rock slices) The cheese curds have a light crisp exterior with a melty cheese interior. The staff is polite and responsive. The atmosphere is relaxed and cozy, however during peak hours the small indoor alley may get somewhat loud and distracting for those who prefer less background noise. The food wait time is exceptional. Afternoon lunch is the best time for a quieter atmosphere, and the evening for more extroverted patrons. Overall this is a good place to grab lunch or dinner. I personally recommend it over its similar competitors. (The bowling alley itself is separated by a sound barrier, and has doors between the restaurant and the bowling alley.) Good place for family, friends, or single dining patrons.

We had started coming here on Sundays afternoon to eat and few drinks First few times we had the Sub which was good! This last two times last week had the walleye in the Philly steak sandwich both horrible! Told waiter. But he didn’t seem to care and shrugged his shoulders. took forever to get waited on so we finally had to stop one of the workers ? Not sure who the one with sweats pants on he kept going in and out of the kitchen hanging out while food was being cooked and served.

Kitchen was really rough to our waitress tonight. Put her behind, and told her incorrect information about the own places menu. It honestly came across as the kitchen staff bullying the new girl.The food is 5 star, especially the Irish nachos and social burger. It would be even better if they remember everything that is advertised in their menu for what is ordered. I will also add that there does seem to be about 1 thing forgotten or not seen by the kitchen staff even when the waitresses do write it down correctly.I understand that it can get hectic in a kitchen, but it should not be a 50% chance that everything is going to be correct for the food. Either the kitchen or the waitresses need to be checking the orders before letting them leave the counter.The drinks are always amazing and the food is delicious. While it is worth coming to as a hole in the wall restaurant, it's best if you memorize what you order so you know you actually get what you ordered.

Had a blast! Played duck pin bowling. Super fun. Reserve lanes ahead of time as there are only 4 lanes. Food all exceeded expectations. Cheese curds and spicy burger were great!!

Place has a lot of potential, and it could very well separate itself from the bowling alley if it improves the quality of the food. The food ordered was generic, meaning it tasted like something ordered pre made from a food supplier like Matin bros. Or some place similar. Was a meal you would expect from a bowling alley, but the atmosphere of the restaurant was amazing, clean, and well decorated. A lot of potential here if could make a more signature flavor food, something that stands out. Something like a House made and seasoned burgers, own signature bbq sauce, something like that would make it stand out on its own. Don't get me wronge, food was decent but for the atmosphere it was not to the quality we expected
