10 minutes of waiting to be waited on, all the while the 3 staff members stood at the end of the bar, chatting. Bye-bye.

I had the appetizer Southwest egg roll and asked for sour cream to dip. DELICIOUS.

Walked in and went straight out the back door. Definitely not for me. I don't know if the stares were because I'm a person of color or because we are gay but did not feel welcomed.

Loved this place. Had an upscale/hip and almost retro vibe while still welcoming and chill. It was busy but they got us in pretty quickly to bowl. Great food, good beer list and really friendly staff. A gem in this small town!

Everything was amazing, unfortunately there was a guy who made a server cry over his food because he said it was cold. The staff is great and handled it very well!

Food was cold, no manager on duty. Staff didn’t seem to care.

There are several bars in Byron, all within several feet of each other. With that said Uptown is the unique one. It has a bowling alley. Also they tend to go off road with their food. The have unique twist on regular restaurant and bar food. They are like the Burger King in the sea of McDonald's. You have to go there at times to break the monotony.

Lots of fun bowling with grandkids. They rent by hour rather than per game. Service was great and food is always top notch.

Kid-friendliness: Perfect for young families!

Decent food / drinks & service, but obviously can get a bit loud at times with the adjacent bowling alley.

Lovely place, had a club meeting here with 25~ people. They had a private room for us and had service the entire time. The food was to die for, highly recommend.

This place keeps getting better. I highly recommend the Salmon sandwich, burgers and lobster nachos! Really everything is good. Definitely not what you expect from.a bowling alley, please don't let that fool you out of trying it out!
