Went here for the first time and was not disappointed. Was greeted as soon as we walked in. Staff was extremely friendly. Prices were kinda high for my liking but everything was amazing. We had a great time bowling and the drinks looked at tasted amazing. 10/10 I would recommend

Kira & Kyle are the friendliest people! So helpful and sweet. The service was amazing, drinks refilled right away without asking. Food came out hot and tasted amazing. Kyle brought an extra Chipotle ranch to the table for us. We’ll definitely be back! 10 out of 10 stars!

Pretty disappointed in our lunch yesterday. It was $87 for 3 adult entrees and a kids meal, plus appetizer. The food was fresh but took about 30min to arrive. We each only had a handful of fries. My son and I both got the smash burger. It was more like a regular burger and had no flavor. Mine has little to no sauce on it which I think would’ve helped. My husbands chicken sandwich he said had no flavor either. The staff were all very nice and helpful but I don’t feel like we got the value for our money at all. Not sure that we will be back.

We went there just because we wanted fish and chips that were close to us in proximity. We walked in and it was an arcade and a bowling alley too, right inside of Bass Pro Shop!! We got the pretzel and queso as an app and it was out super fast and tasted great. The fish and chips were good, the shrimp and chips (not pictured) was even better. I’d reccommend this for a quick date night, family night, going out with co workers, really any small event. Super cute, service was fast and easy going. 10/10 will go back.

We visited Uncle Buck’s today and stopped by the arcade with our two daughters to redeem prizes. Unfortunately, the customer service experience was disappointing.

There was an employee assisting other guests with loading arcade cards, so we waited and assumed he would help us as well, as we are waiting he just took off in a hurry telling us he “couldn’t help us right now” and said he would be right back. We waited about 10 minutes, during which my daughter was ready to check out her prizes.Probably would have took him an extra 30 seconds. He then passed by again, still stating he couldn’t help us.

We continued waiting another 10–15 minutes while observing the employee help multiple guests at the front, but no one came to assist us in the prize area. After waiting close to 30 minutes without any communication or alternative assistance offered, we decided to leave without redeeming the prizes.

I understand that staff can be busy, but better communication or asking another employee or manager to help would have gone a long way. We usually have good experiences here, which made this visit especially frustrating. I hope this feedback helps improve the experience for future guests.

As much as I love to leave 5 star reviews, for this place I will unfortunately have to leave 1. In my honest opinion this place was great for the longest time, it was a nice place to shop, eat and even bowl! But after what I encountered today I will no longer be stopping in. Unfortunately, when I was in there today I witnessed and overheard who I thought were to be managers talking poorly about one of their employees; It was something in the lines of “she needs to fix her face”. One of them then proceeded to go up to this said employee and tell her that (Mind you this hostess seemed super nice and was very polite) this
then seemed to visibly upset her and I felt so bad. I’m not sure when work places thought it was okay to talk to their employees like that but I think it’s wrong and disrespectful. I will no longer be coming in.

This is our 3rd time coming to this restaurant. It is very pricey – $75 for two people. We each got an entree and shared an appetizer. The environment is really fun, which I enjoy. However, this time the food was not great for the price. My chicken in my linguine had grissle every other bite. My husband had the fish and chips. His tartar sauce was very liquidy. It almost tasted like tartar sauce mixed with water and ranch. He couldn’t finish it. If the prices weren’t so high, it wouldn’t be as bad. We’ll probably give it another try eventually.

We had fun bowling but we had wanted to sit in the restaurant and eat first but got hurried along to the bowling lane where we “could order” food at too. There was no servers for the lanes, you had to go to the desk or bar to even place an order for food. The fried pickles and cheese balls were really good and the pizza was decent.
The chicken strips were tasty and quality chicken meat but they were barely any bigger than the fries, which were overly salted. Ended up being a far more expensive an outing than we had hoped for. Enjoyed the underwater design but the rest became lack luster. Shoes are $4.50 and the lanes are booked by the half hour. We just barely got our sixth person their 10th and final turn before our hour was up.

I loved the interior design here. The fish tank at the bar was cool to watch while having a drink, the bar seats are fishing boat chairs. The bowling allies are sea themed. The only thing was it seemed very understaffed. Despite that, the pink haired girl that helped us said she just started, and she took care of us very well. As far as the food, the fish and chips was sort of lacking flavor, however the pizza looked like it could be good.

Love the novelty but pretty pricey and the customer service leaves alot to be desired. We were the only ones in there on a Monday night and the employee couldn’t really be bothered with us. Nice place to visit.. once
