Texa-Tonka Lanes

Great place for a child’s birthday gathering! Super family friendly (yummy fries too!). Very affordable! We were here on a Friday evening and it was not busy which made me a little sad for the place. I understand the comments about the guy at the desk, but don’t let that stop you; it’s such a quick interaction. He did end up being very nice and helpful with a couple things we needed (lighter for cake candles and plate and utensils). If you’re looking for somewhere fancy and updated, this probably isn’t the place for you. I would recommend this bowling alley, we’ll be back.

Oh Man - the guy at the desk was ridiculously rude. It was 7:45 on a Friday night and nobody was in the bowling alley. Which kinda makes sense now.
I asked him how we were supposed to bowl, he acted like it wasn’t his job to explain pricing and lanes. He was an ass about shoes and sizes. Like he got weird and aggressive about “ladies first.” He told my nephew “I’m not talking to you.” I thought we were being punked. There were 15 of us. I would have thought an empty bowling alley would have wanted the business.

We went to the bar to order food and drinks. Super cool waitress and fun patrons. They seemed to have a special name for the guy

Easily the most bowler friendly alley in the area. Good hours, Clean approaches, lanes always well oiled, great pro shop and extremely friendly staff. If you’re tired of party bowling come here.

This place is the real deal. Basic/old school bowlng and food- which is perfect. Full bar. Small but good tap list. Service is great and personable- not fussy. Not too loud, unlike most bowling establishments.

Amazing place! Great food, very accommodating for families with young children!

Nice clean facility. We had a 6 person party with 4 being kids. The service was attentive. The pizza, fries and tater tots were all very good. Picky eaters loved them. I wanna give them 4 stars because I'm cheap and everything feels so expensive these days but I don't think it's fair to them.

We paid over 150 bucks for 6 people to bowl 2 games and share 2 pizzas, fries and tots.

Where the pins aren't the only thing falling. Drinks are as strong as the personalities, the music alternates between top 40's hits and half hour long prog rock songs. Just like the weather in Minnesota, if you don't like the vibe wait 5 minutes. Buy drinks for regulars and you'll fit right in.

This is a great spot for bowling and to hang out with a big group of friends, but do not listen to these other reviews about the food. The food is very made, and the burger is one of the worst burgers I've ever had in my life. There is no seasoning and I swear they just microwaved the burger patty. However, a great place for bowling just don't expect to go for food. It's very bland and mediocre bar food. The waffle fries slapped though

Good bar food and great bartender, John, and the bowling alley staff is friendly and helpful

Bar service is great, bowling is great, Peter Griffen at the counter is super rude.

Love the food and vibe here! Erica the bartender is a Rockstar!! Great Service

Classic lanes and bar restaurant! Clean and great service!

Ego boost lanes

A couple of friends and I decided to go bowling at Texas Tonka lanes. As we were walking to the main desk to get our shoes we were met
by a very rude man. He had a very bad attitude and seemed incredibly annoyed that we were there, leaving us feeling unwelcome form the start. Upon requesting our shoe size(all different sizes) and double checking we all got our sizes correctly, he had made a very passive aggressive remark, “I said 8,7,7 that’s why I laid them out in order.” To which my partner replied “we just wanted to make sure we got it right on our part.” He then snapped back and said “well you looked confused” in a very aggressive tone. Furthermore, he gave horrible looks of disgust and unprovable at our group. Unfortunately, this attitude seems to be common, as it carried into the bar as the bartender snapped at my friend for asking for a pint of soda as he said “it’s a pitcher.” It’s not worth the price either, as there is no music or fun lighting and is overpriced for what it is. It’s a shame to find this type of poor behavior in an environment where the community is generally very kind. Save your money and go elsewhere.

They host a special needs Group bowling league on Saturday mornings, and it's amazing
