As a response to the owner from my last review, if you actually read it I ordered the pizza as soon…read moreas I got there and it took an hour before they brought it out. They never would've if I didn't remind them. They said "I'll check how long it has" and then said 8 minutes, after it had already been 50 from the time I ordered. And I said I was yelled at for that game when I was a child, not an adult, which you would know if you read it. Very rude and unprofessional response and this is exactly why no one goes there anymore.

There were pine needles and rocks everywhere. The bar, bowling alley and arcade were clean and updated. We were served a drink right away, and played some arcade games. The attendant for the bowling alley was sitting and having a drink with his friend at the bar instead of attending to the counter. The games were really cool and updated. Everything is electronic. All in all, they probably can get away with mediocre customer service because they are the only bowling alley in town.

The guy at the counter scammed us. We paid for five games and we got one and a half before we…read morebasically got kicked out. I mean by we got basically kicked out because we didn't want to spend more money to the bowl for probably a half a game

The drinks are well made and if you don't like it they are happy to make a new one usually free of charge. The "tap wall" is a fun way to try local brews and an affordable price and the duckpin bowling was very fun although had some minor issues. While we recognize this is not a 218 tap house issue and is an issue with the bowling company. It is the only reason they are getting 4 out of 5. The customers we have interviewed love going to 218 tap house for trivia, the tap wall, bowling, the atmosphere and the friendly staff. It's recommended by all and enjoyed by all.

On a Saturday night the place was pretty empty but it looked nice so we gave it a try. We ordered…read morean appetizer of nachos and told the server we wanted it before the rest of our food. It came like warm at the same time our entrees were brought out. My guess is it was sitting waiting for a long time. Our server who had no other tables chose to wrap silverware instead of bringing us our food in a timely manner. The fish I got was lightly breaded but way over cooked and the breading was partially burnt. The "award winning" ribs were not very good. Could have got better ribs at Applebee's. Bill came to $76! Not worth it at all. Our server never asked how our food was, never refilled our drinks but was instead chatting with another server. When I complained to the lead server (possibly manager/owner) she thanked us for letting us know but never offered to discount any of the food items. Most restaurants would have at least given us the nachos for free. I therefore made it clear we will never return. There are other restaurants in the area with fae better food and service. Go elsewhere.

This is an easy one…read more What would be your reaction if you were seated with guests and a kitchen(?) employee, in clear earshot of the table, told a server at 8:35 PM, "Food is still going out of the kitchen and I'm f____ing sick of this s___." This is the same place where the server brought out cocktail sauce instead of salsa and didn't understand why my friend didn't want it on her quesadilla. And the same server dropped the food from the wrong side and walked away (don't worry...we sorted it out). Maybe she was interested in some training? Or maybe she was looking for someone who knew how to connect with the joint's "free internet?" That was another mystery. The fettuccine alfredo was a sloppy plate of noodles swimming in white sauce and butter. (See photo) And yes, that's rock hard bread, not a giant hot dog! The sole positive during our dinner was another personable very server (this is her 2nd job...also works for the State?) who spotted the lack of our server's training, skills or ability to communicate. Maybe she can get a manager to spend some time with a staff who spews profanity around guests or has no idea how to wait on tables (or where the salsa is hiding). Nobody else seems to be paying attention. I always prefer patronizing independently owned/operated restaurants but this one was an obvious failure on this occasion. Stay clear unless you're bowling. That's gotta be better...just avoid anything from the kitchen.

Great Food and really mean it some of the best food in the area. Just don't go expecting to Bowl,…read morethey never updated them nor have they taken care of the lanes and the pin setters, the arcade isn't too bad, it's not the family friendly i was hoping for with an arcade and bowling
