Located near the Delaware County Fairgrounds, this place is straight out of the 60's and in dire need of an update. The restrooms are very small and the scoring machines are antiquated from the early 80's. They are definitely not Y2K compliant, but I guess who cares what date it is? An overhaul is in desperate order, but the lanes are in good condition, so that's a plus. I currently bowl on a league here for $13 a week. It's the same price as in other leagues I've participated in, but with less perks. One thing I do like is that it's never crowded on league nights. They do serve food and bottled beer for reasonable price. The food is your typical bowling alley food, and made and served on demand. It's a very small operation and definitely has that small town feel.

First time in the place, but we were blown away by how helpful and accommodating Nick and his staff were to us.

Finally made it. Baby K had mentioned arcades, and we happened to be nearby. It's huge, with…read moreseveral sections (and the missing lamented hot dog area in the middle, soon to be something else?) Small bowling alleys, pinball, and our target, video games. Bars in each area, and apparently food available though we didn't see anyone eating mid-afternoon on a weekend. And the cost? Nothing. Sure, they want you to have a beer and order other stuff, but they are not pushy about it. I asked at the bar how to get change for the games, and he said "just push start, they're free." We played a lot. Many nostalgic games for me, and Baby K liked Pacman and Defender. A wide variety, and there was always something open. I imagine at peak times you have to wait, but no issues, again mid-afternoon on a weekend, warm spring day. I was thirsty and bored, so got a drink. Ginger ale. No charge. I did tip, but seriously, we were there an hour and could have walked out without spending a penny. We'll definitely be back.

If you're an adult who is young at heart, or nostalgic for yesteryear, this place will be right up…read moreyour alley. It's also connected to Pins Mechanical so it is just up the alley (heh). They have wall-to-wall arcade games, that are completely free-play, and a handful of other activities (big "beer" pong, a ring toss game, a giant LightBrite...) to keep the fun going and going and going... We checked this place out with kids in the afternoon and then returned as just adults that night. To be honest, it can get crowded and therefore was more fun without the kids (b/c the drinks started flowing...) but either way everyone will have a great time. If you want a spot that checks A LOT of fun boxes then check this one out. It's connected to Pins too so you basically get a two-for-one deal!

I stopped by Dave & Buster's for a quick bite and ended up with a really enjoyable meal. The burger…read morewas cooked perfectly juicy and flavorful, just the way I like it. It was slow inside while the inside of the mall was insane which was a plus for me personally because I was looking for somewhere to sit and eat that wouldn't take too long so it was nice inside. I asked them to remove the bacon and they handled the modification without any issue. Appreciate the flexibility! My server was excellent but sadly I cannot remember her name :( friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience feel easy even though the place was busy. The burger itself was a solid, satisfying meal with good flavor and decent portion size actually it was HUGE ! 10/10 meal.

Went for their $40 date night special advertised online and on digital boards in the restaurant…read more Service was slow but the food came quickly. The food was beyond meh, but for the price, it was about what we expected. The real issue came when it was time to pay. There was ONE other couple in the bar when we asked to pay, but it took 20+ minutes (legit) for the bartender to figure out how to ring us up. Then the price he charged us was very incorrect, so he had to call a manager. The manager didn't ask questions, he assumed and told me *WE* were wrong about the price of the package. You know, the one advertised on the screen. Right above our heads. One iota of empathy or apology would've de-escalated the situation, but there was none to be found. He ended up refunding the excess in cash, but good golly. The experience was a cluster. Would not go back.
