Can’t give 5 stars cause the pricing is atrocious but I am going up from a one star.
The staff that I met were all very great folks. The upgrades are a nice touch and looks good. But doesn’t match the premium pricing, honestly it would take a lot. I’d at least want some elbow room. But they’ve added a Groupon which made the price much more manageable.
The food was very good as well as the 21+ drinks. Small portions for the price you’re paying but it seems to be the theme. I think I paid almost 5 bucks for a 24oz cup of Dr Pepper.
The public balls are nice but still the cheap balls and kinda laughable as you throw it and you hear it thumping across the floor.
Overall tho I do enjoy it but can never give 5 stars unless the price starts to reflect the experience. The staff and food are good as well as a good time. If you have unlimited money it’s a no brainer to go.

We went Saturday am thinking we could avoid the crowd and busy time but we were wrong. They were busy and stayed busy which is good but they weren't prepared. It took 30-45mins just to get an order of fries. We had to physically go up to bar to order it and order drinks as no one ever came to our bowling lane even when we hit the button. We had to go and find someone who worked there every time we had an issue with our lane. Still a good time to have fun with family as bowling is always fun. Really excited to see what they do with the place after all the construction craziness is over!

A decent place to bowl, eat, or purchase bowling supplies. Also an arcade.

Good fun and it was packed for a Sunday!

I just can't get over the price. family of 4, $10 a person +$6 for shoes per game. The game took us about 30 minutes, so we spent about $65 for 30 minutes of bowling. If I wanted to play another game, it would have cost an additional $40. $105 for an hour feels outrageous for bowling! Definitely discourages larger families from going, which may be their goal. Main Event charges by the hour ($32) regardless of how many people bowl- will be going there next time.

Tournaments, leagues, reservations…. Booked, booked and booked…. Called yesterday and told us tournaments were over at 3 and plenty of bowling lanes would be available after 4. Told them we had a couple families….
Today- tournaments are just wrapping up, and the are completely booked with leagues and reservations.
Spent money preordering tickets that I didnt even have so my wife and daughter could bowl with friends.
Be better-

This was an amazing experience! We went on a Saturday and it wasnt super crowded. Laronda helped us check in for our game and loaded us up with Kids Fest goodies. Our server was Bryn and she was so quick and kind. The whole space is super clean and the food was tasty. We did some arcade games after and it wasn't super loud like it can be at arcade places. Can't wait to come back again!

It's been a minute since we've been there. It's had quite a renovation. And it's awesome. New floors, new screens for lanes. The staff was attentive and the food has always been solid. It's actually one of my favorite places to go for a night out. Get the wings, and the pretzel bite things with the mustard. Trust me!! And wash them down with a large blue moon!! Great atmosphere.
Horrible. They have all these unlimited bowling and other specials, but every time I’ve ever gone the house is so full of leagues you can’t ever get in. They never answer the phone, so I can’t call ahead and ask before coming. Front desk associates are not friendly and completely sarcastic when “apologizing” for the inability to help. Garbage.

From the front desk to the bar, the service is poor. Waited 15 in line while 3 workers sat behind the front desk, not even acknowledging the growing line. Bar service is amazingly slow even without a line. I used to really like coming to this establishment when owned and operated by Mels, but since Bowlero has taken over, it seems like the overall experience has declined steeply. It's a shame, especially after going through such a nice remodel. This place has great potential but currently lacks the customer service to deliver a positive and rememberable experience. :/

Thank you to Mel's and the wonderful crew who hosted our team building event! My team had a wonderful time. From start to finish, everyone introduced themselves and made sure our group had everything we needed while we were there. We were lucky enough to have our event on the CJ's side where it was very cozy and it felt a lot more private. The food was wonderful and I loved the setup of food and drinks on the back tables. Thank you to Madison and everyone else for their hospitality! We will definitely return in the future!

Overall great experience when I have gone. You really got to map out when you are gonna go to get the best deals. It is either like a 20 dollar experience or a 150 dollar experience. Balls are nice, and the lanes are always nice. Staff especially the wait staff and bar staff is lacking but assume this goes along with what's going on everywhere with trying to get employees but also not wanting to pay them anything.

Had a super fun family afternoon of bowling at Mel's. They're currently remodeling but the lanes worked great and the place was pretty neat despite some construction hardware lying around. Lots of laughs and giggles were had and that's with two teenagers so you know that's quite an impressive feat.
