My server, Jake was awesome...very friendly, quick with service and professional. The food was good but was a little bland for my tastes but probably perfect for those who don't add a lot of seasonings other than salt and pepper. My one dissatisfaction was that the hostess was on her phone and facing away from the entrance so I had to call her attention to my presence after waiting for about 30 seconds hoping she'd look up and notice me.

2nd time at Uncle Bucks and another amazing experience! A great waitress and great service was an understatement! We did the Arcade and it was so much fun. Next time we plan to bowl.

Cool fish themed restaurant with bowling. Food was not that great. We had the fish tacos and spinach dip. Would not order that again. Service was awesome. Our waitress was nice and attentive. Not busy at the time so it was nice and quiet.

Super cool place. Ran mostly by youngsters and elder teenagers, I was still impressed with the attentive service.

We had an absolutely wonderful time! Nathan was our server and he was super kind, respectful and attentive! First time ever at a bass pros shop and stopping there and trying this place out was definitely worth it! Will highly recommend it to anyone who may be looking for something new to try or just a fun time out with family and friends!

Review edited following a phone conversation with the GM: Took our kids out for a night of bowling and pizza for their birthday. Received less than satisfactory customer service, but after writing a review the GM contacted us and sincerely apologized. We were asked to give them a second chance at proper customer service and a great experience. He was truly concerned about our negative experience and took time to listen and note where he thought he could make adjustments for future guests. We increased our service stars from the initial one to three because of this.

I love the food and service. Environment is beautiful BUT there is NO air circulation at the bowling area. It was HOT. Definitely needs some ceiling fans. We were sweating so much just playing one round.

This was the first time we visited the facility and we made a 3 hour trip on Father’s Day just to check this place out. It was one of the worst experiences we have had yet. There was zero staff that approached us as we sat at a table to eat. So I took it upon myself to use the QR code on the table. As we sat and waited for our food, we watched several people walk out, which is exactly what we should have done, but was giving the benefit of the doubt.. I’ll never do that again! Got a $14 Bloody Mary that was missing the toppings cause they “were out”, and it came in the smallest glass possible. The strawberry daiquiris was more ice and water than anything. Chocolate milk had maybe a drop of chocolate in it and I had to pay extra to have the chocolate my son didn’t even get. The cod fish bites were soggy and slimy and most definitely not worth the $18. This place was way over priced for the very moderate cafe meal we were served as a father’s days dinner. So disappointed in what actually came out of that place.

We camped in the parking lot overnight and came in to support Bass Pro shops.
The bowling alley was themed as a ship and sea creatures everywhere. Amazing to see.
We bowled for a half hour and it was $29 for 2 people on 1 lane with shoes.
It was a fun way to spend a half hour!
This is the first Bass Pro we have seen with a bowling alley.

Everything was great! It was loud but it is a bowling alley. I might recommend sitting at the bar if you're just a couple. We had some louder groups with kids near us in the restaurant area.
