This is a neat concept. Bar, bowling, restaurant, and arcade all rolled into one. Then you have the option of shopping in the Bass Pro Shop if needed. It’s an interesting way to keep the entire family in one place. The games in the arcade seemed okay. The entire restaurant, especially the bowling lanes were nicely designed and decorated. The aquarium that the bar encircled was pretty, and clean, which is important if you’re eating. The food was kind of limited so we didn’t have much interest to try anything besides the fries. The cocktails that Noah suggested were fantastic!

Very fun atmosphere. The bowling is paid per half hour or hour, which is odd to me. I’m use to paying per game, but oh well. I assume it’s geared for pre-teens/teens that don’t want to wait on Mom and Dad in Bass Pro Shop. The arcade was fun, and the Bar drink menu was excellent. For a Thursday afternoon, it was packed.

My wife and I eat out every Sunday for a lunch. Just to relax if anything. We like to go to Bass Pro so we figured we would go to Uncle Buck’s. We got there and sat in the dining room, about 10 minutes later someone came in and said we had to order at the bar. So we walk up to the bar to order, but apparently we were on the wrong side to order. So we moved to the other side of the bar and ordered. Our drinks were put on the end of the bar and we were told to come get them. Meanwhile 4 people were standing at the shoe pickup and bowling desk.

Its a cool concept and the kids had fun. It is CRAZY expensive though. $30 for 30 min of bowling with 2 adults and 1 kid. If you’re charging that much for bowling I would expect to get shoes that don’t have cracks in them. We opted not to order food because the kitchen staff seemed to have questionable hygiene.

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.

Went yesterday and it was honestly pretty expensive and the service kind of sucked. First time being here and may be my last. When my partner and I came in, we informed the front that it was our first time being here, they told us we can sit wherever we want and we can use the QR code to order, or just wait for a waiter. We waited for about a solid 30 minutes and gave-in to ordering online. The drinks were delicious, but the food was mediocre. The fries were extremely salty. Once we got our food, no one came to check up on us or ask for refills.

Out of the way location, unless you’re headed to the outlet mall, anyway. Food is mediocre at best. Made contact with six members of the staff, and 3 were unhelpful and annoyed that I asked them to do their jobs. Plus, I overheard 3 waitstaff complain about their tables and make jokes about the food — We were at our table, they were less than three feet away – one doing silverware and the other two just complaining.

Bowling experience was wonderful. Ordered food and ended up taking a longer time than expected. I figured it was just busy (it was) but the food turned out to be room temperature.

We had a larger group so they had us in the back room behind the bar. We had to order our food from the front desk as they told us that they would not have a waitress/waiter wait on us.

We have stopped at Uncle Bucks since it opened to have Fish and Chips. This time we met with the host who told us they no longer have servers. He provided us with menus and told us we needed to sit in a room to the side separate from everything else. To order our food, we had to either use our phones to scan the barcode on the table to order or return to the host to order. We found ourselves to our table and struggled to order. We then decided if they can’t afford servers,I really don’t want to risk what the cooks’ abilities are. We left without ordering.
