Food was great! Staff were friendly. Always consistently a fantastic meal. It is a nice feature to see the kitchen as well.

We came here for the second time because we loved it the first time. Again the food was good but...we had a reservation for bowling. My son went up once and they said about 10 minutes, we'll come get you...Time passes and nothing. I went up and was told another 10 minutes...waited again...then went to the desk and the woman said " oh there's an open lane I just forgot to get you"!!!! We said no thanks and left! We lost our ambition to stay! Reservations are good only if they stay with the schedule. Times up...leave! Bar service and food was great! Try The Burnt Ends---delish!!!

When my wife and I went out for dinner with her six siblings and spouses, (14 people total), I didn't expect anything special at a bowling alley restaurant. I was wrong! Garden Street Bowl is not only a bowling alley and bar, but is also a first rate restaurant. The food choices were abundant and delicious! The service was great.

My husband and I worked with Garden Street Bowl as our wedding after party. Our guests were so excited for the change of scenery from just a bar and the party was in our price range. GSB worked with us to confirm the right amount of space and food. They were so flexibly and easy to work with. We ended up having way more guests come to the event than expected because they were all so excited! The food (wings, pizza, mac & cheese, fries) were all a hit and we were not disappointed!

This is a very cool place with upscale bowling and fabulous food. The staff is fabulous and fun too! They have an amazing and large, full bar with several signature cocktail options. The food is also upscale but all prices are super reasonable! Fun trivia night on Tuesdays too! Bowl and dine options as well.

Favorite takeout in kennebunk. Located at garden street bowl, we typically have a few pints from the selection of approximately 10 rotating local drafts, then order take out. Grilled tuna is my go-to.

Yes, I was a little judgey when it was first suggested by a local that we go to the freaking bowling alley for dinner. I had crazy low expectations; I mean how good would the food actually be???Well, it is amazing. This is our "go to" spot when we want a quality date night dinner and don't want to be all fancy about it. Their standard menu has some great stuff however, be sure to have the server tell you about the daily specials. Speaking of servers, the team does a great job all around; never had a bad experience with anyone there. So yeah, go to Garden Street Bowl for dinner; so worth it.

I was a little shocked when first moving to the area from locals that the Garden Street Bowl had the best burgers in town -- but, it turned out to be true!While their menu is very good, and their apps are solid (the warm marinated olives are a treat!), the burgers are the Star. Even their "basic" Aisle #1 Burger is incredible. While their fries as good as well, do yourself a favor and embrace the Canadian treat that is Poutine! The gravy is flavorful and tastes like a concentrated French onion soup, and the cheese was hot and melted.The seated area is nice if you're looking for a more formal dining experience, but the bar is my personal go-to. The staff at the bar is friendly and knowledgeable about the rotating taps and any specials. Lots of TVs with sports and whatnot as well, so definitely worth popping in for a solid meal. Oh, and bowling as well -- if that's your thing

Food is creative & awesome! Plus, there's Bowling! Fun!BIG screen TVS behind the bar!! This is a great place to watch your fav teams.--Service behind-the-bar & wait-staff is fantastic too!! Check this place out!!!
I have been here twice. Both times I sat at the bar and had dinner. Very good burger each time. Service is decent. I would rate this place higher, but the music can be loud (not here to dance) even when there are only a few people in there. If you are there when the bowlers come in, the noise makes it very difficult to talk. The inside is all hard surfaces, if they would put up some sound panels, it would help the noise tremendously.

We had no idea the bowl in the title was actually the activity- we stopped in and thought that it must be an enormous bento shop and were pleasantly surprised to find a lively community gathering that was serving excellent food and drinks. The trivia game was also fun for everyone in the family.

A really fun place for the family. Good eats. Bowling and games. A really enjoyable time.

This place is so much fun and has phenomenal food. My hub and I go here at least once a week for a few drinks and soup (I know that sounds weird but trust me about the soup!). Super inventive menu that never disappoints. We haven't had a duplicate soup yet. Cold roasted beet, ginger and carrot, onion with short ribs, Thai curry; white bean, kale and sausage; cream of cauliflower....see what I mean? But enough about soup. Service is excellent, cocktails are creative (they infuse their own spicy tequila) and dinner has always been on point. The bowling and game room element is just added fun. I just love this place!!!!

What a diamond in the rough! Visiting town with friends and many restaurants could not accommodate a larger party. Came right in, great service, food was amazing! So cool that such a great restaurant is attached to the bowling alley/arcade! Highly recommend!
