    Nice place to come and escape the summer heat. The staff is friendly. They have updated some by adding screens on the back walk. It's nice that you can easily see what lane to go to and it's animated.

    While visiting friends in NC, all the kids realllly wanted to go bowling so after some researching, we came across these lanes. We went on a Friday afternoon after grabbing some lunch. The place wasn't crowded at all. We had purchased some games on Groupon and had no issues redeeming them while we were there. We were given two lanes (one for the parents, one for the children) side-by-side. One lane had bumpers available, the other didn't. I'm not sure if one was broken, but obviously, us adults didn't need bumpers (well...maybe some of us did??) Needless to say, we had a blast. The music was good, the lanes and seating area were spotless. I recalled not smelling anything funky...that's always a plus! Additionally, the bathrooms were pretty clean and this is VERY important to me. I can't speak on the food since we just had lunch, but note to all- this is an alcohol-free establishment.

    Had a nice time at this bowling facility. Didn't even know it existed since it's hidden behind businesses. Went bowling with all adults and realized no alcohol was served. They sell snacks and sodas. Everyone working there was friendly and the bowling alley is kept up. Family friendly, bowling prices are reasonable and they have 2 arcades for the kids.

    Weekend bowling rate: 10 PM - 1 Am $10 per person including shoes.

    This is a great place for a large group! The Saturday night rates are of great value. My only complaint was the wait time. We showed up at an awkward time where they were transitioning between their evening and night rates so had to wait good 40 mins before we could start bowling. So, if you decide to go on a Saturday night, either go before 9 with ample time for you to bowl or go past 9 PM giving yourself time to stay on a waitlist and start bowling. They close their lanes by 9.40 and open it again at 10 PM for night bowling. The bowling rental shoes were clean but they run large so, ask for a size smaller than what you typically wear. Food is your typical run-of-the-mill bowling alley affair. We were a group of 5 and shared the tater tots and onion rings and they were both pretty good. I would definitely not mind going back again.

    Staff members were nice but the owner herself who also makes a presence in customer interaction was not very nice.

    Went here on Friday for a few beers and to play some games. Bartender was attentive and busy. Draft…read morebeers were ice cold and reasonably priced. Games were clean. Surprised how many games seemed to be out of order but it doesn't surprise me after watching how some people treat them. Didn't eat here this time but will be sure to try it out next time I visit with my daughter

    Honestly, I came here to watch the basketball game and the wrestling pay per view tonight. And…read morethat's rhetorical only nice thing I have to say. I'm still sitting here, there's been three bartenders, and not a single one has even had the balls to come. One of the managers who has walked by has poured me a beer twice and let's expand upon this... I got here and sat at the bar. The area wasn't even bussed. No worries. I give grace. Sat here for twenty minutes and a manically saw me and got me a beer. Finished it! And waited 22 minutes before the same manager saw me and brought me another beer in between drinks. I still have never been asked for food or even Priya menu. I am visiting from Texas and this place is an absolute joke. No level of customer service. No level of professionalism. I will be forwarding this review to Tony Khan and the TKO group. This place is an absolute disgrace to any establishment. I'm sitting here still and let's see how much it gets worse. Oh ya. I'm still sitting here. 17 minutes later now. Waiting on my third beer since 7:12 pm and it's 10:17 now.

    Great fun miniature golf that takes it to a whole new level!…read more Venue: looks can be deceiving. Doesn't look like it can accommodate 3 courses but it sure can. Has small kitchen for food and drinks( soft drinks and beer). Has sitting area to eat. Small arcade area. The miniature golf course here is so awesome- it is not your average miniature golf course. It has unique chances a long with it- weather throwing balls, , puzzles, coordination, you name it. It even has a small zip line within! Service: everybody was very friendly Price: reasonable. Came here with my son but I enjoyed it more!

    From the heart of Raleigh, NC is this unique indoor putt putt course. I was in town for a wedding…read moreand this place was the first activity that populated and I needed to check it out! There are 3 course Yellow, red, and blue. I didn't realize that there were multiple course until half way through the course I was wondering how I get on the indoor bus. Each course had a uniqueness that made it completely different from the other courses. My favorite from Yellow course was the zip line, red course was the slippery floor and the Rocket , and blue course was the bus and pool table. Each course & hole had an activity thaw was an interactive experience. The cost for this activity was $16 for all 3 courses per person, great price for this experience. The staff were friendly and answered all my questions. I didn't eat but definitely bring a water bottle as they have refill station near the bathroom. The bathrooms were clean as well as the inside & on the courses. Employee was dusting the course in between people finishing their shots. The parking lot was huge, so definitely plenty of parking. I had a great time and definitely recommend, if you're looking for a fun, unique activity. Cheers

They always seem to have new attractions and things popping up. The service is always great. The food is decent, just enough to quench your thirst to keep you on those rides and playing golf. We love the laser tag experience.

    Frankie's Review - 3/5…read more While in town, we decided to visit Frankie's after it was recommended to me by my boss, and this time I had my husband and 12-year-old son with me. Overall, it was a nice way to spend time together as a family and gave us something fun to do during our visit. Frankie's offers a good variety of attractions, and my son especially enjoyed the rides, including the claw, roller coaster, and zero gravity experience. We also played putt-putt golf, which was enjoyable, though I personally found the course a bit less challenging than similar places I've visited before. The road course was also on the shorter side, but still fun for what it offered. One thing I would note is that the pricing felt a bit high, particularly for the arcade games and rides, especially considering some of the experiences are fairly brief. We also found the pizza to be a little overpriced, so we chose other food options as well as their burger and Philly cheesesteak. Unfortunately, one part of the experience that stood out in a less positive way was the customer service around some of the attractions. Several of the attendants seemed very nonchalant and disengaged, almost as if they were not very happy to be there. That kind of energy can affect the overall atmosphere and, for me, made it less likely that I would return or recommend it. We also had to wait for attendants to assist with some of the more interactive 3D-style games, which interrupted the flow of the experience. That being said, one of my personal favorites ended up being the carnival 3D shooting game, even though we did have to wait for an attendant before we could play. Once we got on, it was definitely one of the more enjoyable parts of the visit for me. On the positive side, it was not crowded during our visit, which made the experience much more relaxed and enjoyable. I especially enjoyed spending time in the arcade with my family, and that ended up being one of the highlights of our visit. I also want to mention our experience in the bar area with Olivia Jackson, who provided such warm and pleasant service. She was courteous, attentive, and truly showed genuine Southern hospitality. Her kindness and professionalism made us want to stay longer, and we ended up enjoying our food and family time even more because of her. She was definitely one of the bright spots of our visit. Overall, while I have visited similar entertainment venues that I personally enjoyed more, Frankie's still provided a decent family outing and a different experience while we were in town. I would rate it 3 out of 5 stars.
