★★★★★ 5.0 Dana Sadler · Feb 2026

The food was great as was the service. We sat at the bar. Even though the restaurant was extremely busy when we were there, we received our food quickly, it was just the right temperature and was of excellent quality. The bartender made drinks for us that weren't on the menu and did a great job. We had not been to this establishment for over 10 years but we will certainly be back soon!

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

★★★★★ 5.0 Melissa Cox · Aug 2025

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!

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Meg Hunter · Nov 2025

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.
