Had a great experience here (even though they were clearly short staffed.) the manager, manda helped me book party with just a few days notice. I was kinda worried there wouldn’t be enough seating since they had another big party and an event going on, but she had actually prepared two seating options for us.
Our server had tables across multiple rooms but still did her best to take care of everything.
We could get drinks from the bar but during shuffleboard it was really nice that manda was checking on us and she was even bringing our drinks to us so we didn’t have to pause the game.
Overall we had a great time and loved learning a new game. Definitely coming back!

The food was absolutely delicious. The drinks were excellent and the employees were so positive and helpful. This is definitely going to be the new place to go to hang out. We went for my son‘s 17th birthday and he and his friends had such a great time and so did we and the rest of the parents. The outdoor space is definitely going to be great when the weather is warm. But it’s a wonderful place to spend time when the weather is cold.

My young adults organization had our holiday party at Larks last week and it couldn’t have been better! The whole process was so smooth from booking the space months ahead, to wrapping up at the end of the party. They were responsive, attentive, and so kind. The price was great for the room & drink tickets and they allowed us to bring in decor for the private room. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and would highly recommend for other groups!

The food is mediocre, the concept is neat, and since they let go of old management to service is not good. The bartender disappeared for twenty minutes while a group came over from West Bottoms Flats. She added her own flair (Midori) to standard shots that made them too sweet when we just wanted the standard recipe, she argued, “Are you a bartender?” I am, and we simply wanted regular green teas when we’re spending $70 on a round for them. Honestly I’ll be happy when this place closes and hopefully we get something else in this space. Shout out to the old GM he was on top of things, while even though the food was just okay it was still an enjoyable experience. This…not so much.

Great experience for family and friends! The staff was extremely welcoming to our group (6 adults and 6 kids ranging from 1-10) . We were nervous the kids may get bored but they LOVED shuffleboard and the fact that there were other options – connect 4, corn hole, and the arcade – the kids were in heaven.
The food takes bar food to the next level – our favorites were the hot pepperoni pizza, the Thai chili shrimp, and the buffalo Quesadilla.
We finally got to taste the Kelce’s Garage Beer! It was very light and refreshing- sort of similar to a Coors light but better quality. The mocktails were also delicious – highly recommend the blueberry lemonade. It was so refreshing.
Lastly the staff made our visit! Kennedy was amazing behind the bar and Spencer was outstanding helping to get us set up with the shuffleboard, games, and always making sure we had yummy food and drinks.
I can’t wait to see what else they bring to the bar as you can tell everyone is invested and they are adding new features all the time – fire pit, outside lanes, more TVs and I was told darts are coming soon! Love this spot.

I’d been wanting to check this place out. It was just my husband and me, and we were considering playing some shuffleboard, but it was $30/hr and we weren’t sure we’d be there that long and weren’t looking to spend that much on it anyway, so we passed. They have a really nice patio and we wanted to sit out there, but rain was imminent so we sat inside. The service wasn’t terrible, but the server seemed like she may be new to waiting tables. The prices on cheap canned and bottled beer are high; draft prices were pretty normal. The cheese fries were good, although a bit on the salty side. The mac and cheese was above average compared to other places. I had the black and blue burger and my husband got the BBQ quesadilla. The burger was pretty tasty and on a really nice bun. The quesadilla wasn’t as good, with the BBQ tasting a little like something prepackaged. I think I would go back with a group of at least 4 to play shuffleboard and have some drinks, but wouldn’t consider this a dining destination in the future.

We were looking for a fun outing with our son and his wife as well as our niece on Friday after New Year’s and found Larks! We had so much fun with the indoor shuffleboard. We ate all different appetizers and didn’t even need additional food. Highly recommend for family fun or groups during the day!

Gorgorgeous Sat afternoon, but no one was around. Had the chile lime shrimp tacos and my husband had the mushroom Swiss burger. He absolutely love the burger and the chips. My tacos were just okay. Good sauce, small shrimp, but not a lot of shrimp flavor. My fries were amazing. Great server. Played table shuffle board and had a few drinks. A place to put drinks while you play would be helpful. Lol

Well this was a welcome suprise, we had a great Lunch at Larks. The burger was delicious and enjoyed the puffy fries that all came out piping hot. Cheese curds led the way and they were great as well. They have coke Zero , so I love that. Great quick svc, food came out quick and love the open feel and lighting. Shuffleboard will have to be played on visit #2

I went online to make a reservation for my husband’s birthday party. We reserved 2 lanes for shuffleboard and I called to reserve a table for 17. I spoke to the manager and explained the shuffleboard was not available until 9:00 but we could eat first. He assured me this was perfectly fine and there would be plenty of seats available. I also communicated with the party planner the same thing several times.
We walked in and there was not anyone to explain anything to us, no one to greet us and lead us to our tables. There was one other table of people being served and finally I asked the bartender what was going on . She said the hostess was with a large party in the back and there was another large party coming in and when the hostess had time she could help us with food. I told her we were the large party but they had our food reservation at 9:00, not 8:00. She was very apologetic and was able to poor our drinks but was also trying to get drinks for the large party. .
After about 30-45 mins a lady found me and I put in some appetizer orders but we still were never seated as a group in whatever room we were supposed to have. We had to order food individually and it was dropped off at 2 tables and no one knew who ordered what food because we were never seated and she was getting individual orders.
The drinks were good however the food was absolutely terrible. The margarita pizza had banana peppers on it and it tasted like it was marina with banana peppers. The nachos had cheese on a couple chips which were loaded with salt. The cheese on the cheese fries was shredded cheese that was not even melted. The wings had sauce thrown on them that looked like it was from a bottle. I am a not someone who needs fancy in fact I prefer easy bar food but this was some of the worst food I have ever paid for.
I had paid for 2 shuffleboard lanes yet they were all open. I would not recommend this place unfortunately at all. The staff did the best they could. Come to find out the manager quit the night beforehand. It was not their fault the reservation was messed up. However the food was terrible and the shuffleboards were not cleaned well so they did not slide right. Great concept here but very very poor quality overall. Thanks to the bartender and waitress who did help us though.
