Decided to give Homestead a try despite the lengthy drive compared to other local houses. Although the house is on the smaller side, they take care of things and feature a whole lounge style bar. 32 lanes, free fall pins, Brunswick ball return, still working well! We rarely ever had any issues with balls getting stuck or needing to call in for any attention on the lanes. Will (front desk) took care of us and ensured a positive first visit. We enjoyed it so much that we are now Friday evening regulars. On top of Will's exceptional service, Jose (bartender) also provided exceptional service manning the bar. The sweetest lady operates their open kitchen and she is super efficient. Their offerings are pretty typical as far as bowling food is concerned but that doesn't discredit that the food still hits. We'll continue to be regulars for the foreseeable future!

The score counting was awful! The technology they used to count how many pins you knocked down was completely unreliable. It counted extra pins at least 5 times a game. The first time it happened, we called over the attendant guy and he fixed it which was nice, but it happened so often we didn't even bother calling him over repeatedly. We didn't order food Ambiance was actually pretty nice

The food was pretty good -- so good that a strange helped themselves to the food. The kids mostly played in the arcade. It's not very big, but the kids enjoyed themselves a lot. At the end, the cake was eaten at benches in the bowling alley. It was very cozy for a small party.

Always loved Bowlero and this location at Valley Fair. Didn't realize going to the mall was still a…read morething because this mall stays busy. Bowlero its self is always busy paired with it being at Valley Fair mall equals pandemonium. They have an arcade section when you enter with a bar which is great while you wait to bowl. Downside is the amount of space you have in the arcade area. Everything seems packed in tight and it can be hard to maneuver. I have to say the people at the front desk were very friendly and welcoming. Also they helped me apply my Groupon promotion for the bowling. Make sure you check out Groupon as they have great promotions for Bowlero. The wait can be long but it's well worth it.

My husband surprised me with a reservation at this location. My whole family drove out from San…read moreJose for brunch and bowling/bocce. He made this reservation the week before and made sure to make it before 3pm so we could do their brunch menu. He confirmed the activities were open during brunch as well. The day of we were running about 10 minutes late from San Jose so I called to confirm it was okay to which the hostess said they had actually stopped brunch early since it was slow. I had called at 2:10pm and brunch was supposed to be done at 3pm. We were still going and decided it wasn't that big of a deal. Once there they told us our table still had the party before us eating so they'd have to make a table somewhere else. So not only did you give a big table away to someone else knowing our reservation was there but you also stopped brunch early without contacting us to tell us our brunch reservation was changing. Ok no big deal... Then the service. The waitress was okay. She didn't smile, didn't know the flavors of drinks, didn't know the specials. We had to ask the gentleman cleaning tables to have her come back so we can get dessert. On top of this, they told us we needed to be done eating and out by 5:15pm but we can't do this if our waitress keeps disappearing and doesn't ever bring our check. When they did come back our card was not in the check folder. When we asked them where it was they said they had to look for it. Suspicious if you ask me. My MIL works at a very fancy Santa Clara restaurant for over 30 years. She has never been so unimpressed that she wanted to speak to the manager. When she did he also seemed like he didn't care, didn't offer any other help and said they were all busy upstairs for a party. Not an excuse. Then tell my husband they don't have reservations for us if you don't workers or space to properly serve us. Will not be back again. 3 stars because the food was good. That's it.

There are two entrances - one on the second floor of the mall and an outside entrance on the same side of the 24 hour fitness. For both entrances, they will wand you for any weapons to ensure safety. From there, you can explore to find claw machines, arcade machines, a bowling alley and pool tables and darts. The collection of claw machines are from pop culture like Hello Kitty, One Piece, and cute animals. There are specific claw machines where you'll need to glad a staff member so they can unlock the machine and give you your prize. My partner wasn't too pleased by the collection of plushies since her round 1 in Roseville has a lot more to offer. Nonetheless, it was fun as we all got stuffed animals.

Round1 in San Jose is a large entertainment complex that combines bowling, arcade games, karaoke…read morerooms, and claw machines under one roof, and the format works well enough as a group activity destination even if individual elements have their limitations. I walked into a space that gets loud and warm during busy periods, and cleanliness varied by section, but the overall setup gave my group plenty of options for a few hours of entertainment. The arcade is the strongest part of the offering. I found the selection of rhythm games solid and reasonably well maintained, and the claw and gacha style machines are what Round1 does better than most chain arcades. That said, individual claw machine plays run around four dollars, which adds up quickly if I am playing multiple rounds, and the tension on the machines is inconsistent enough that results feel more variable than skill based. The prize section near those machines tends to run warm compared to the rest of the floor. Racing games, fighting games, and photo booths fill out the rest of the arcade floor, and the overall variety was broad enough to keep my group occupied. Bowling is available but came with some caveats. The ball selection skewed toward smaller finger holes and very heavy options, with limited middle ground, so bringing my own ball would be worth considering if I bowled regularly. Party packages are available and include shoes and games, which streamlines the booking process for larger groups. For a casual group outing, birthday celebration, or evening with a mix of activities on offer, Round1 covers the bases adequately. Going in with realistic expectations about the cost per activity makes the experience more enjoyable. It is not a refined destination, but for what it is, it delivered a fun few hours.

They also have a monthly deal where paying $20 gets you one hour of free golf and a free appetizer! Speaking of the food, I got the Mediterranean plate last time and it was pretty subpar. I liked the pita bread and the hummus, but I hated the other sauces. The veggies weren't cut thin enough, so they were actually pretty annoying to chew at some points. The gameplay itself is fine! It's fun to just hang out and learn a lot from the people around you by checking out their form. The ball machines do malfunction sometimes, which happens. Also, if you're left-handed, you can just ask a staff member to bring you a left-handed club set, which is nice. As for the venue, parking is easy and there is EV charging right out front (though the charging is kind of expensive). There's a cool store in the front, and the vibe is great--there were lots of people hanging out for the FIFA games. Most importantly, the managers here are really nice. We had a couple of mishaps, but they refunded me some money and are very generous with giving out coupons to make things right, so it was all good. Overall, it's not a bad place to kick it with some friends and have some fun.

They have a cheaper option too- $199 for the same length of time, but walk ins only, no reservations. The time allotted is 2 hours for up to 6 people. We've been going about once a week and it's so worth it! When you order food or drinks, you also get 10% off for having the summer pass. Our favorite games to play are angry birds and sonic. Service is alright. We get a text when the bay is ready so we go straight there. They recently changed to QR code ordering so we don't really interact with people there (only when food and drinks are being delivered). Overall we have a good time here and still have about a month left of the summer pass. Highly recommend!
