What parents say
"If I didn't have to give this alley any stars, I wouldn't. The food menu is extremely expensive and niche. For example, the hamburgers are a beef/pork mixture as of recently, which excludes anyone with pork dietary concerns. Creamed corn is now a side (?) but the shredded cheese the menu lists as optional is no longer available because "people prefer nacho cheese". As for bowling, these lanes are in poor shape. The alley allows street shoes, people to eat on the approach, etc - the lanes are constantly breaking down and it is rare to bowl a 3 game series without a breakdown. This place can't "
