We had a great time at Highball Lanes. Great atmosphere. Staff was friendly and the food was pretty good.

Great bowling alley in Fondren-Jackson. 10 lanes. Very modern and fun/ classy looking spot. Great bar. Friendly faces. They have bowling leagues sometimes. Super cool we have this in town. Support business! read more

The best part was the service I received although I arrived to almost closing time. I enjoyed the food and I ordered sooooo much and was definitely full. It was a fun enjoying my dinner watching folks bowling. read more

Great drinks and atmosphere. Loved the tiki bar and the bar tender was excellent. I had the chicken quesadilla the first time I went and it was excellent. The second time I went had the grilled chicken salad. Service was very slow and it felt like I was a bother. The food is great though. read more

Highball Lanes - Grilled chicken salad - Bowling Near Me - Jackson, Mississippi

I usually eat at Highball Lanes after church for brunch. But I decided to venture out with some friends for bowling and dinner on a Thursday night. Our service was good. We were a party of 6 and our server handled us well. Our orders were correct and one had to send back her food and reorder but she still did a good job. Since the bowling alley is inside, it can get noisy but it wasn't bothersome. It's nice on the inside with a casual feel. Ordered the Turkey burger and subbed the fries out for grilled asparagus. This was the best tasting Turkey burger I've had. It is a hand-patted burger with an apple-onion jam. I added charred onions to mine. The asparagus came with horseradish cream and was absolutely delicious! I enjoyed our outing and look forward to going back! read more

Enjoyed the bowling alley!! Managers and employees are very welcoming. Bar tender knows how to make a great cocktail. Thanks again

Dropped into Fondren on Friday with one of my friends and wanted to check out a place I haven't been before. We settled to try out out Highball Lanes, the food side. (We did not bowl). We were seated immediately at a booth and our hostess ensured me that the food was actually good when I asked -- I had to make sure! Our server promptly came to us as we ordered drinks. Per her recommendation we both got the $10 cocktail with tequila (the name leaves me) but without the smoky flavor to make it more sweet. It was a good drink so I'm glad she recommended it to us! Since I was the only one eating I was in between the catfish platter or the pasta with catfish. Again she recommended getting the platter which was an excellent choice! Everything was good. The fish could've been seasoned just a tad more but I really didn't have high expectations so it wasn't terrible. Nothing a little hot sauce couldn't fix. The environment was nice also and clean. Much of praises to the server, I don't remember her name but she was really attentive and friendly. Overall I would probably come back and try something else on the menu and try actually bowling. read more

Visited this establishment and the manager Todd was great. Great customer service and friendly staff. Drinks ordered were good and chicken quesadilla was fresh and had a good taste. The atmosphere was very chill and we had a good time bowling. read more

Terrible service. They don't adhere to their advertised hours of operation. I called about a reservation and was told they no longer do reservations. I explained that me and my party would just come in the following day and was told that would be fine. We showed up to locked doors and no one to answer a phone. I really wish establishments like this would leave my hometown, as they advantage of locals and do as they please without accountability. read more

They bring you shoes to your lane! It was easy to setup a reservation, but you have to go in-person. The phone number set up to contact them sends you straight to voicemail or no one was answering. And the online booking doesn't show all the bookings for that day so just go in-person! Overall though it was a nice bowling alley with great service. read more

My husband and I repeatedly come here to enjoy great service from the mixologist JC at the bar! His customer service and passion for making delicious drinks is top tier! We will definitely be back!! read more

Sat at the bar. Super friendly staff. Nice beer selection. Had their nachos. Nice taste with a bit a kick and they were quite tasty

We came to Highball Lanes for an early dinner today. We ordered the Duck Egg Rolls, Gumbo, Ribeye with fries & salad, and last but not least the prime rib with brussel sprouts & cheese grits. The Duck Egg Rolls were the best (forgot to get a pick of those) I could easily make a meal out of those! The gumbo is ok a little watery but nice back heat on a bite (don't forget to ask for a spoon unless your adventurous to try to eat it with a fork). The steaks were good, but they had to refire his Ribeye it came out Blue instead of medium rare. HOWEVER lets talk customer service or rather the lack there of...There were two apparent managers on the floor & numerous staff members as it was not that busy yet getting help was like watching the Three Stooges...forget about good help... read more

Bowling was fun and a nice environment. Service felt short handed. I think there was one server for all lanes and it took a while to get drinks/service. We ended up a couple times just walking to the bar to order, which took time away from bowling. Not one server or hostess seemed friendly. We came in and were not greeted at all. When asking how things worked, it just felt like dry conversation. I think some smiles and friendliness could go a long way to improving the overall experience of the venue. We then had dinner afterwards at a table. The food was surprisingly good. Did not have too high of expectations being at a bowling alley, but they nailed the high end approach. The food was definitely a highlight. Seems everyone enjoyed their entrees and the chips and queso was great for a shared appetizer. We will definitely go back, hopefully help situation can improve, but it's a nice environment, good food and fun. read more

My family really enjoyed everything about their experience. The service was on point, the atmosphere was perfect, and the food was delicious. I personally loved the The Pearl. They had some of the best tiki drinks I've had in awhile. We will definitely go back! read more

First, the food was exceptional. We've eaten at High Ball on numerous occasions and have always loved the quality. Second, the service we received from Saint was top-flight. This young man was professional and an exceptional human being. Looking forward to our next visit to the restaurant and with Saint. read more

Good food in the restaurant and fun bowling, you can also order while you bowl . They play music , great for outing with friends

I live in Jackson and want to see my cities local businesses thrive. But this is ridiculous. And I'm actively rooting for this place to close. 1. Overpriced foods that aren't that good (which tends to be a trend in jackson) 2. I've never heard of a bowling alley charge for shoes on top of the lane price. (Most bowling alleys include shoes) 3. We paid for an hour for the lane. Which most places would let you finish your game once your time is up. But they literally cut our game off halfway through. So instead of us enjoying our game and taking our time enjoying our evening. We were kicked out and couldn't even finish our game. Bring something else to Fondren that actually cares about the customers. read more

Very tasty lunch. Turkey club and Smash burger. Also, the shrimp appetizer. All three get a thumbs up Please ask for Mama Kay!! Service with a smile and kindness. Thank you Mama Kay!! read more

Food was ok but took a while to get it ordered and served. The service there is lacking big time. The staff could use more training in customer service even though they were trying a bit. The ambiance was great as expected and the bowling experience was great. read more

I went for the first time this Friday. Was in town to visiting. It started rough since the lane was non functional BUT quickly they stepped into great customer service and resolved. They were SUPER attentive which is a plus when an issue arises. That was the start of a great experience from their service to their food taste and ambiance. We ordered the queso and the egg rolls. Tasty! Would return for sure! The couches, decor, and lighting is all perfect. Great spot! read more

I went for their lunch special and everything was delicious!!! I will probably go back next week, my food was that good read more

Went last night for the first time. I had heard that service was terrible but wanted to give it a try. Well, I heard right! Service was awful! We asked for recommendations on the menu & our female server had zero recommendations! She just said, I don't know! We ordered a glass of wine & saw 3 employees stick their noses to our glasses, smelling the wine! When asked, our server told us they just wanted to smell the difference in the 2 different wines! We then told her she could keep the wine cuz we were leaving! She just said, ok! Menu choices, in our opinion, we're not good! We definitely will not be back! I gave it one star because we thought the bowling alley part looked cool! read more

I'll assume we were in the wrong for arriving at the place at the right time for our reservations. The bartender had friends in the room we rented and was beside himself when we sat and waited just outside the area we rented. He was kind enough to explain how f*****d up we were for sitting where we did to his friends. He was efficient enough to repeat it a few times. He was service minded enough to have us wait an extra 30 minutes to get into the now empty room we rented. We were allowed to order 55 minutes after we sat. The waiter had not been informed our party was split, due to the room not being able to hold the 15 of us. Another staff eventually grabbed up our others sitting by the bar. Our waiter was great, although I think he was new to the business, he really tried to be everywhere for us. The food was great. The only real issue was BallBag Barry (bearded white guy) who attempted to keep us waiting longer than we did, creating an uncomfortable situation for the staff who appeared to just want to handle normal business as usual. Douchebag Daryl may have promised his friends the room for as long as they wanted, he should have maybe not rented it out, or at the very least attempted some form of communication with the people who rented it. Or he could have set us up with a table stack, or in the other room across the way that nobody was using or the room attached to the bowling alley. But no, assbag Aaron could do nothing but lose business. Not the end if the world for them or us, just taking my business elsewhere. Did I mention the food was great? Anyhoo, nice place other than the bearded idiot. read more

Highball Lanes - The bowling was fun. - Bowling Near Me - Jackson, Mississippi

highball lanes was a great night out with friends and family! the bowling is top notch and food and drinks are served right to the lane ! after bowling we had a good meal in a friendly atmosphere. read more

I can't say if the food was good because we sat there for 15-20 minutes and a waiter never came before we got up and left. I am not sure if it was where we were seated, but the table in front of us their waiter came to check on them a couple times while we waited. Then there was a group of 5-6 that sat two table ahead of us and a waiter was there immediately before. No luck for two vets that drove an hour and half to hopefully dine and bowl for a cute date. read more

service was horrible my server (jade) got my drink wrong. upon giving it back (un touched) because I expressed how I could have salt on my rim. I was then told (forced) to pay for an employees error and tip her for her poor service as they automatically add gratuity. The bartender was extremely rude. The young man who claimed to be the manager was of no help. All this on top of having no working restrooms . Never again read more

The place is small but it's very nice inside. The service was a little slow when I went due to there being a big crowd. There's booth so you can go to eat if you don't want to bowl and they have great drinks. read more

customers are more of an afterthought had to ask for three different things we had previously ordered a bit overpriced for what you receive

Food is at best mediocre and overpriced. The atmosphere and bowling are fun and somewhat cheap if you have a big group.

We visited Highball Lanes shortly after their opening expecting a limited menu of concession type items, but we left with a new favorite dinner option. We ordered the creole inspired baked chicken and shrimp and grits. Both were excellent as was the drink menu. They've also done a great job with the entire vibe and ambiance. I look forward to returning for some actual bowling in the near future. read more

Chef there Ashley Davis is amazing. Food is amazing. Go with a group of friends to bowl so you can split the cost of bowling! Makes everything very affordable and less expensive! read more

We went for the bowling with the kids during Spring Break and we weren't the only people with this idea. Luckily you can reserve lanes online same as you can reserve dinner tables--very convenient. The bowling setup was very modern, you can tell the computer which players need the bumper guard rails and it'll raise and lower the bumpers for the correct bowler. Only small complaint was that it was a bit cramped for our party of five using one lane. We didn't eat any food, but saw some come out and it looked better and more interesting than typical bowling alley fare. We were talking over dinner about who we'd come back with next time. read more
