Took my family in for a fun day of bowling and good food and had to switch lanes 3 times due to their equipment malfunctioning in 7 frames did not even get to bowl an entire game and still had to pay for a full game was so mad at the disrespect we encountered on the management still making use pay for bowling when their equipment did not work and I route the management "well you still bowled so you have to pay" I paid the tab as to not cause a scene in front of my kids and we left without eating. Why would I give them more money and grace the company with more money when they are undeserving. Our kids were upset we couldn't bowl and eat there we will NOT EVER be back to this place. Which is a shame it use to be very nice and food is good.

This will be your best honest review:

One of the locals there recommended to eat at the bowling alley. Of course I thought it would be only corn dogs, fries, and hotdogs, but they really surprised me. If you’re looking for some country style food you should definitely give it a shot. They have a small dinner area and you kinda forget you are in the bowling alley. Surprisingly enough they have a BAR located in the back! The bar was very clean and had some seating in there as well. I couldn’t get over my brother’s sandwich. Which I WOULD highly recommend you to try! If I could give one suggestion I think they should have a better salad mix. The salad was embarrassing especially when our sweet server asked if I wanted tomatoes on it. ? The salad only came with iceberg, a sprinkle of cheese, and a few sliced cherry tomatoes. Salad definitely needs an upgrade.

All-in-all: I would recommend this place to eat or drink. I didn’t get a chance to Bowl so I can’t review on bowling. Prices on everything was really fair! ?

Do not know how to read IDs. Called cops even with a valid ID after serving the alcohol and saying it was finel. Accused of being a"sting". Owner came up aggressive immediately and was nothing but rude, and arrogant. Do not recommend. Go to effingham or olney or anywhere else. The dude running the lanes was cool, same as the other lady up there. Just seems to be ran by really bad people. In all honesty anyways, the lanes seemed to suck and were all messing up through an entire single game which made it take forever and kind of ruined playing.

Nice diner inside the 10-lane.bowling alley. The facility seemed to have a meeting room that could be reserved for parties and/ or meetings.The food was on par with any independent diner. Their menu is very large, with offerings for breakfast, dinner, and supper menus.The facility has a bar/lounge and offers pizzas to bowlers in the evenings.I would go back here to eat again.

7 people bowled and 8 people ate. The lanes kept messing up and would skip players or not reset. We notified them about the issue and they blew us off. After finishing and asking if they were going to do anything about the games the lady told us they are dealing with 1950s equipment and just trying to stay open. She started laughing at us and the bill was 200 dollars

8 of us and both our lanes didn’t work properly had to keep resetting it then it wouldn’t give us a score . When brought up to the lady in charge she told us that they are working with 1950 stuff and just trying to keep it afloat. Well we all ate and bowled two games that wasn’t fun cause of all the problems and resetting but still paid 200 dollars for a horrible time.
