They have signs telling you to leave your shoes by entrance even if their even slightly wet. So naturally first smell you get is soggy nasty shoe smell. It seemed to waft into the rest of the building.Was told No arcade. No pool tables.Also the prices were not 2023 friendly.Didn't bowl but lanes looked too oiled and the balls seemed to be slow to come back.Easy fix is use less oil. Fixes both issues.Was easily a 5 star before they moved locations. Now... Hardly worth the stop to use the bathroom.Would bot recommend.Holland BAM is way better, in every aspect.

Dave has got to be one of the nicest guys I've ever met. He's willing to help with any bowling problems and I wouldn't go anywhere else for my equipment

We really did not enjoy ourselves the service for just french fries and onion rings took hours. So if you want to order food order by 8 p.m. you might get by 11 It wasn't even that busy out there. I spent over $200 just for 4 games for 8 people. going to a place and having the kids pretty much go without food for hours is really not necessary.

Went there yesterday with my grandson we made a memory as he said part way through we should never come here again. The lane would Not return the balls about every 6th ball it was done and you would have to get some one to make it work again . Took 2 hrs to play 2 games with 3 people . The absolutely need new shoes also they just seemed to be on a constant struggle with operations a service. There were 6 people bowling next to us and after about a hr and a half they just left they gave up as the ball return did not work properly. I will never go there again

Inaccurate hours. I've tried getting in four times in two weeks during open bowling now and only once been able to. I used to bowl here three days a week but I think it's time to go elsewhere.

I have a medical condition to where I can’t carry a certain load on my elbow and the workers of the gate would not allow me to use a ball under 9lbs because I was not under 12. Terrible service, wish they would consider my condition.
