A nice facelift to the Zoddo's that used to be there. The place was clean, the staff was friendly and helpful, but in full disclosure, we arrived 10 minutes after they opened so there weren't too many people there. The only things that were a little hard to swallow were the prices across the board... But with the economy these days, it's understandable.

Great place to be with your family and friends

Every time I go I get my hopes up that I’ll enjoy myself, but every time I talk to the manager/hostess I feel like an ahole for wanting to bowl. I wish this location didnt feel like corporate hell.Edit:New staff are much friendlier and there are more deals now which makes it a lot more reasonable, still wish it was zodos but bowlero gets a 5/5 for now ?

The new GM, Charity, reached out to the community for feedback and thought that was so special to see someone working for corporate really care. It was her post that brought me back and see first hand the change in customer service and the environment is changing in a positive way that felt more local. My family will definitely be back as the arcade looks incredible.

Went there for drinks and food and it was great! Angie was the server and she was so kind and great. The reason I'm writing this review is that she was so awesome and is an asset to your team. I don't even bowl but I will go back for delicious snacks and bevs and will hope to be server by Angie again soon!!! Thank you so much

Had the best night! Chidie helped us at the front desk to our lane 1! We had a hard time deciding on the the tasty drinks so we went up to Dani and asked what her favorite is. She told us the boarding pass and it was a hit! Thank you to Nicole for taking care of us for food and drinks! We will be back very soon!

Visiting from Los Angeles. Stopped by last night. This place is brand new. Staff was great. Prices for a Wednesday night were great. Bar area is spacious and has over 20 beers on tap and plenty of good liquor. Arcade area great for kids and every game was working. Televisions everywhere for adults to watch games and have beers. I tried the flat bread cheese pizza. It was good. The cheesy garlic breads we loved. Staff was great all around. The best part was the music.

Over priced. Terrible frozen food or it least that's what it tasted like. I miss Zodos and their amazing pizza .

Very fun place! I prefer the old vintage vibe for bowling alleys, but this place is good. Has a nice arcade, is good for kids B-Day parties. Food/drink is good enough, what you would expect.My main complaint is that there are just too many TVs and video projectors EVERYWHERE. Everywhere you look, you can't get away from them. The music videos are OK, but they project tiktok videos really huge directly over the pins at the end of the lanes. Forget about bowling a good game, because you will be completely distracted. I hope they please turn off the projects in the future.

Staff is nice... Kew prices for the kiddosFood really sucks for the increased prices...zodos at least had tasteful foodWouldn't go back again ?

Absolutely destroyed by corporate juggernaught Bowlero. Used to be a reliable place to get some pretty good food, beers, and entertain the kids with a simple arcade and maybe a game of bowling or two.You'll now spend approximately as much here as you would taking a family of four to six flags, and you'll be served garbage food after waiting for 45 minutes.If this is the result of capitalism I'd prefer Stalin instead.

We had a blast here. We play 3 rounds party of six. Kids will enjoyed Arcade. Clean and well maintained bowling alley. Food was great. Fire pizza oven. You will need a wrist band for alcohol.Large parking lot. Clean restroom. Staff where friendly.

Our 16th Wedding Anniversary featured a surprise stop at the local Arcade at Bowlero! I wanted to make the day special for my hubs that enjoys arcades. My partner and I especially share an affinity for skeeball. A game if the ancients. So I called the venue in advance of purchasing some expensive Groupons for their "cards" that carry credits. (No nostalgic quarters or tokens or tickets these days!) The woman I talked to over the phone was "pretty sure" they had skeeball, but she said she would go check to confirm. When she returned to the phone she assured me they did indeed have skeeball. On the day of our anniversary, we walked in and we're pretty disappointed. NO skeeball as far as the eyes could see. No wooden ball. No ramp with various cylinders determining one's worth in the expanse of universe. But there was a basketball shooting game. I wanted to inform staff that not all balls are created equal. We still made the best of it-played classic air hockey, space invaders, and got down with the clowns.
