Favorite takeout in kennebunk. Located at garden street bowl, we typically have a few pints from the selection of approximately 10 rotating local drafts, then order take out. Grilled tuna is my go-to.

We had no idea the bowl in the title was actually the activity- we stopped in and thought that it must be an enormous bento shop and were pleasantly surprised to find a lively community gathering that was serving excellent food and drinks. The trivia game was also fun for everyone in the family.

What a diamond in the rough! Visiting town with friends and many restaurants could not accommodate a larger party. Came right in, great service, food was amazing! So cool that such a great restaurant is attached to the bowling alley/arcade! Highly recommend!

Reviewed Crotux 4 years ago in 2018 , but am burning to offer more praise. Emma, the hostess, terrific! Brian the Bartender, Waiter, Cashier, and part owner, an absolute Charm! Best Dirty Martini around! &Jake, the Chef, and also part owner, never falters in serving up the most memorable meals. every one of his soups! Last nite it was a Thai inspired butternut squash soup, but each one of his is memorable. The Tuna topping the Apollo Salad perfect. Can't say enough about how really good it is going there!

I'm writing this review from the perspective of a customer who uses a wheelchair for mobility. Upon arrival at the building, it is somewhat confusing because the entrance was actually at the back side of the building from where we pulled in. The had ample handicap parking spots right outside the entrance doors. There was flat entry getting in. The location is a bowling alley, but also has a full bar and a full restaurant. They do require / recommend reservations for bowling lanes as they block them out for periods of time for a specific price. Our biggest concern was the ability for my wife in her wheelchair to be able to get to the bowling lane and participate with us. They have done a fantastic job of this by building in a ramp that runs alongside one of their bowling lanes, which brings you right up on the actual bowling surface. Then it's just a matter of cutting across the lanes to get to your spot. Each lane has the more modern seating with a table in the middle. They are outfitted with tablet computers to setup your bowlers, etc. The scoring is computerized, which is a plus. The also provide food and drink menus at the table. We shared a flat bread with grilled chicken, 3 cheeses and bacon with a white garlic sauce and it was plenty for the 3 of us and delicious. The service was fantastic and fast. That was one thing I noticed, they were very well staffed. When we first arrived, we spoke directly with the owner as he was out front at the check in desk. Everything was super clean and well appointed. The restrooms are adequately wheelchair accessible/compliant. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be back when we're back in the area.

Brought to you by the same people who established the Village Tavern in west Kennebunk. This place has been done the right way. Excellent dining options either at your lane, the bar or the crotux kitchen. It also has an awesome arcade section for the kids and also has an indoor cornhole area!

Came up from another state and happened to fall into this place. Checking menus online, this place offered exactly what I was in the mood for. The mushroom burger was phenomenal, fries crispy and delicious, and the cranberry beer paired well with it. Love finding gems like this! On the menu you’ll find why it’s called Crotux too. ❤️

We have eaten here several times, and the food is excellent!!! Service is great. Flavor profiles are well thought out.
What a fantastic place! Locals and Kennebunk visitors alike are lucky to have Garden Street Bowl. Excellent customer service from our initial phone call to reserve a lane and make dinner reservations and throughout. Great place to spend family time and we can't say enough about Crotux. Delicious, innovative and tasty cuisine. We are from a medium size town in Pennsylvania and we would love to have this near us.

How does food this good come out of a bowling alley?! Seared tuna was sublime and the Chile relleno egg rolls were massive and amazing.
