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!!

Not sure how it is here, or what exactly their hours are cause we got there around 830/9 pm and no staff was around (customers at the bar and I believe servers rolling silverware at a table)Says they close at 11 on the day we were thereStill have high hopes for this place so we'll visit again and update

First time trying it and the food was delicious! It was well prepared and nice and hot. Had to wait for it to cool down. Which is a good thing.

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
