Uncle Buck's Fish Bowl & Grill

This place piqued my interest. Then I showed up to find that the dishes I went to eat and were showing on google they didn’t actually serve. Waitstaff was friendly. That’s the only good thing I really have to say about this place. Well and restrooms were clean. The food is absolutely not good. In my opinion price to dish ration is totally not worth it. The facility is fancy looking and the arcade/bowling/go kart etc might be the main objective here. I feel they are trying to make underwhelming dishes look fancy with garnishes and tacking on a super high price that makes zero sense to me at all. Maybe because it’s “Branson”. I ordered the steak sandwich and it was a KcBS strip that was overly dry with a spring mix on a French roll. Don’t waste your time on this dish. Someone needs to learn how to prepare a steak. Fish and chips was also ordered and it came portions large just basic fried food. Nothing special. My 9 year old can make the same stuff by herself in the air fryer from my freezer. All in all this place is what it is. Typical family arcade pretending to offer a fine dining experience while they should really be just making pizzas and hot wings for all the arcade goers like most of the other chains who do this same business model do.
Probably won’t because it’s “Branson” lol!

Personally don’t waste your time with the food. Maybe just bowl and race slow go karts. I dunno but I know I’ll never go here again EVER!

The food is average and expensive. Lot's to do, but eat before coming. So many activities for all ages. Check online for the best plan.

The food here is spectacular. It's a little more expensive that you would pay in town but once you see the portion size, you'll understand why. They seem to always be understaffed for some reason which takes so long time for specifically alcoholic beverages, and appetizers to come out in a timely manner. Plus getting your ticket at the end takes a wee bit.

But you can always make a reservation here and I promise the food is always going to be delicious. Worth the wait.

Just another JM Bass Pro Shop cash grab.

Busy place. The Chocolate cherry cake is amazing. A cherry pie baked into a Chocolate cake.

Reviewing just to give our waiter Loree a shout out! She was our server and was super super sweet! We all loved her, thank you Loree!

Nice and clean place. The bowling lane is amazing. Kids had many fun.

Brought my family here to celebrate our first teenage birthday. We had celebrated a birthday a few years back at an Uncle Buck's in Colorado Springs and were so excited to find one within an hour of us in our new state. We came to bowl and ride go-carts on the Fun Mountain side of the resort, but this review will be strictly on the bowling portion of our experience.

As per usual Uncle Buck's fashion, the atmosphere was on par. We got there just as they opened at 11:00 am and the place was immaculately clean.

The front desk sells the Fun Mountain cards, which you load with money and allows you to do all the on-site activities you want with a swipe of a card.

Once you load your card, you walk around to the back of the front desk to reserve your lane and order your shoe rentals. We only wanted an hour of lane time and had six players. Since our lane was already open, our time started the moment they swiped our card. This is my biggest PROBLEM with this location.

By the time everyone got their shoes, tried them on, traded for a size up or down, found an acceptable ball weight and size, ran to the bathroom and logged our names into the lane, we had already lost 10-15 minutes of our lane time. Every other bowling location allows you time to get settled in and log your names in AND THEN starts your timer.

We had to rush through the last few frames in order to finish our game before our time ran out and that was a tad frustrating, especially to my bowling league champion dad, who is in his retirement years now and was looking forward to playing a game again after all these years.

Overall, the place has the signature atmosphere. It is clean and they're maintaining the lanes very nicely. Our lane was not equipped with pop-up gutter guards, so ask for that when you reserve your lane. The lanes we did see gutter guards on were fixed, so keep that in mind as well. Due to the time starting as we were given a lane, I'd also suggest reserving an hour over the number of games you plan to play if you prefer a leisurely playing experience as we do.

We sat in bar area. Its on part of a fun center. Nice atmosphere.

50 dollars for one hour and 2 people barely played 2 games. Lane broke down and didn't add more time like they said. Waste of money

Best customer service and the food was very good!!! At first, we thought, "Oh my, it's an arcade!" Don't let that fool you. We sat outside and it was lovely.

Food was like it had been frozen and heated back up. Definitely not worth the amount of money we paid for it.

Kid-friendliness: The whole place is geared toward entertaining kids. Wouldn't recommend eating there though.
