2 weeks agoI thoroughly enjoy visiting Pinstack in Round Rock, Texas, every time I go! The vibrant atmosphere really enhances my experience, making it the perfect place to spend an afternoon or evening. The bowling alleys are well-maintained, and I love the variety of lane options available. The food is delicious, with a diverse menu that offers something for everyone, from gourmet burgers to tasty appetizers. The staff is exceptionally friendly and attentive, ensuring that every visit feels welcoming. Plus, the bowling balls are kept in great condition, adding to the overall enjoyment of the game! It's definitely a place I recommend for anyone looking to have a fun time.
nathan lujan
a month agoGreat place to come out for fun. Bring a group this place is equipped to handle large groups. Great service from our server during our time out on the lanes. There are plenty of menu options to choose from. Including a Giant Wing platter to feed those big parties. Parking is plenty and discount lane prices from 10:00 A.M -12:00 P.M. if you are looking to knock some pins down before lunch. Arcade is to date. The kids will appreciate the many game choices. It is a very nice place to hang out with your friends and family.
Desiree Quinonez
3 months agoMy partner and I visited on Tuesday, January 14th around 1:00pm. It was a very peaceful experience because it wasn't crowded at all—there were only three other couples there & no kids, which made it much more enjoyable. The food was amazing! We had a chicken quesadilla and buffalo wings. Our waitress was super friendly. I do want to mention that I gave it four stars because some of the games were out of order, which was a bit disappointing. On the upside, their special of the day was half-priced games, so that helped us save some money. Overall, it was a great experience, and we will definitely be back!
Omar Ramirez
9 months agoWe came here on a Saturday night and had a fantastic time bowling. Afterwards, we spent time in the arcade, and the children had a blast on the bumper cars. There were some great games in the arcade; none were out of order as far as I could tell. The place is fairly clean, and while the service is not outstanding, it is still satisfactory.
LuvlyTXchic PR
a week agoAwesome place but bowling is ridiculously priced for both half hour and hourly rates. On-site restaurant is very nice and worth eating at. Great bar, screens and nice sized dining area.
