“Called and made a reservation for 2, immediately they warned us about their hearing system being down which we greatly appreciated the honesty. When we walked in we were greeted with warmth by the manager i’m assuming. Vinnie was amazing ! very attentive and friendly, not one complaint. he held great conversation. the only problem was being a little cold . will be back most definitely!!”
“We had Cheyanne as our server, she was extremely accommodating and so sweet. We had a very good time nice laid back atmosphere.”
“This was a fun spot. The bowling is great for non serious folks. The service from Xavier C. was strong considering the chaos. Food was really tasty and everyone seemed to love it and we ordered from across the menu. Overall great event space for a small group! Plus free parking.”
“Came here for restaurant week and I was pleasantly surprised. The southern mac with smoked chicken was delicious, and the steak Alfredo tasted like garlic bread flavored pasta. The drinks were great as well. Would definitely come back for their happy hour!”
“No matter what I say here, I love this spot and I will be back. Pros 1. the staff, they were so accommodating. I made a custom brunch menu on our theme, they helped me with what changes. We opened a tab and the bartended kindly kept the drinks flowing. And they were good. 2.the location is absolutely stunning. So many photo ops for those who are into that kind of thing. 3. I loved the duckpin lanes. It is a smaller area, but perfect for what it provides. I appreciate no bowling shoe hubbub. Cons: 1. I called and emailed as directed by the site, to obtain the private dining area. To this day no one has ever called me back. I ended up calling the actual restaurant and whoever took down my reservation did no relay the message. I showed up with balloons and cake and a confused staff greeted me. They put some tables together in the main dining area. I tied my balloon to chairs and we had a party. Eventually the kids found the private dining room and it would've been perfect for my event. So the kids ended up hanging out up there instead of their party table. 2. The food is the reason for the 3 star rating. so much to unpack idk if I'll have room. a. The chicken and waffles- the waffles were burnt on one side. The burnt sides were turned inward, so the kids couldn't t see it was burnt until they dismantled the dish. It felt intentional and deceitful. The kids also said the waffles were too sweet (from the mouth of babes). The chicken was dry. Two of the children found gray hair in their eggs, and my dad had to send his eggs back as well. b. the shrimp and girts- The sauce and the shrimp were amazing. the grits were cold and solid.Had they been warm they would have been amazing. c. my daughter said the shrimp po boy was delish. she never finishes a whole plate of anything so it was a shock when she cleared her plate. d. Apps- The corn bread was DRY and crumbly. I highly suggest you get some small skillets and make that to order. Would have been amazing if they were fresh with that butter! My brother has been in the industry for years. I am sure he could run a diagnostic on your kitchen and help you identify your problem areas. I want to see you do well.. I love this location.”
