    VIP bowling
    Hussain L.

    Great experience at Pinstack for a family party! We worked closely with Ashley to plan the event in advance and received overall very good service from Gabby, Maddy, and Andrea. Highly recommend the VIP bowling experience for private events - lanes are nice, couches are comfy and food is tasty especially for bowling alley. We also really enjoyed the attractions and video games - except the different "colors" can get confusing with an unlimited game card. Laser tag, bumper cars, and the rock climbing were the highlights!

    Although the front desk people were extremely friendly, Pinstack was a true let down. Mostly all of the games were broken and there isn't much that is kid-friendly (under the age of a teen). Yes, they have bumper cars, ropes, etc.;however, if you have a young child, they aren't allowed on those adventures. We thought this was similar to one of our regular spots, (D&B);however, we were wrong. While I would think about coming back to enjoy. Game of bowling, going to Pinstack strictly for the games is probably something that I would not do.

    Went for spring break this week. They had 67 slime and we loved it!!! I want to go back to get more.

    The red bar is so crushed that all the time you throw ( without it getting stuck)  it just rolls underneath.

    I would definitely recommend not coming here. First: when we tried to go here I saw a deal for 20$ but you get the points of 25$. We tried using a giftcard on the kiosk but that didn't work, so we had to go to the bowling alley for assistance. We told them our problem and they said their system was down and for us to wait 10-15 minutes. So when we got back at the bowling alley they accepted the gift card and gave us less points for what 20$ would give for the deal. Second: About half of the games are either rigged, broken, or just unmaintained. Definitely not a low staff problem. (Some pictures below)

    there was nothing very different from other bowling alleys. some of the arcade machines were a ripoff. they were out of a drink featured on the menu.

    So I came here on Saturday for date night with my man and it was honestly perfect! I don't remember the last time I went bowling before this (probably like 10 years ago), whatever the case, this was a top-tier bowling experience!! He made a reservation for the VIP room which was perfect! Also, seeing as this was a surprise date night, I was wearing wedges so I obviously didn't have socks, thankfully they provided me with a complimentary pair and they were so comfortable! One of the most unexpected parts of this whole experience was how good the food was, because let's be honest, generally, we don't really have high hopes for bowling alley food but BABY - let me tell you, they have real chefs back there okayyy???!!! Everything was SO fresh and SO delicious!! The mozzarella sticks came out piping hot, and you can tell that they make their ranch in house, absolutely DELICIOUS!! Also my sprite was CRISPY, I'm talking jumper cable crispy (if you know, YOU KNOW)!! Plus you get to keep the cute cup that it comes in, LOVED THAT!! For my entree, I opted for the Texas Smokehouse Burger and it was honestly the epitome of the perfect burger. Plus the presentation?!?! IMMACULATE!! This whole experience was such a beautiful surprise and I am looking forward to coming back again, we absolutely LOVED IT!!

    Loaded mac & cheese
    Goodness I.

    Came here on a Sunday night with friends, food was pretty good and they allowed us to bring it over into the bowling area and pay over there. Bowling was pretty unorganized and we had some mechanical problems with the lane in the beginning, but they extended our time a bit to make up for that.

    I was here on February 15 at an event for the wonderful John Ritter Foundation. I'd never been here before but I'm anxious to go back. I loved the bowling, the music (awesome music!!) and the food was great! The staff were really nice and helpful. I didn't try any of the arcade games but I definitely want to do that next time. They had a great selection. I had such a fun time and I hope to visit again soon!

    Came in on a Saturday around 1 and were able to get an alley in about 20 min. Price was much better than I anticipated - after $4.50 rentals per person, it was $84 for an hour and a half. The price goes up after 2 o'clock, so I recommend getting in line before then. Beer prices weren't bad either, got a 32 oz Dos Equis for $11. We tried extending our time but by 3:30 they had a 2.5 hour wait and we couldn't extend due to them being on a wait.

    WTF Platter
    Angela T.

    We came on a weekday with a group of 10ish people and had a great time! It wasn't too crowded, and the huge arcade area with a ton of different games/activities was a pleasant surprise. We ordered some drinks and a platter, which was pretty good. Will have to try it again on a weekend and see how it differs, but overall it was a great experience.

My company rented out a meeting room here 4 days in a row for days that stretched from 9am to 4pm. The big pluses here are that it's easy to find and the parking is free. The meeting room is like a plain corporate meeting space with a network connection and a partition divvying the space. While it wasn't the most stimulating place to sit all day, the ambient noise of people having fun and playing games is kind of amusing given the stark contrast of company gathering and all the fun brouhaha going on outside. Everyday of the meetings, we had steam trays of food brought for breakfast and lunch. The food was like kid-friendly versions of everything. For example, we had taco Tuesday, and the food was reminiscent of school cafeteria food. It wasn't bad, but something you definitely wouldn't want to eat everyday. The employees here were really nice and helpful, so the team here is solid. Whenever we had tech issues, someone was in right away to assist. The big irony here is that after the four days of training we got cards to enjoy ourselves with unlimited play for like an hour, but we were all too worn out to enjoy. So is the life of grown folks.

There are a variety of games- PacMan, a foosball like hockey game, racing games, pinball, frogger, shooting games, old classics like Fix-it-Felix, DDR, shooting hoops, skee ball and more! It's relatively clean and employees come help is something is glitchy or a ball is stuck in the basketball game, for example. They play music at an appropriate volume (this place is way less deafening than cidercade, and less crowded too!). I've never had food/ alcohol here so can't speak to that. It's definitely a great place to go, especially with a buddy, to get competitive and just unwind a little! My only complaint- the arrows in DDR are not very sensitive and tend to stick a little on their machines. It's very hard to adjust the initial difficulty level because the DOWN arrow on both sides of their machine is so not-receptive to touch you have to jump on it with intense force to move it from basic to more difficult. I'm actually pretty good at DDR and kept getting BOOS from arrows I was hitting. So just don't come here specifically for a DDR marathon and you won't be disappointed.

For about $13, you get unlimited free play all day, making it an excellent value. The arcade is a little smaller than some of the other Free Play locations, but it's packed with classic games from the '80s, '90s, and early 2000s, along with a nice selection of pinball machines. There's a full-service bar and food menu. I didn't try the food, but the drinks were reasonably priced. My only complaint is that there aren't many places to set down a drink while playing, so it can feel a bit cramped when it's busy. The arcade is tucked away in an older shopping center, so it's easy to miss if you aren't looking for it. Even with the Father's Day crowd, the staff stayed busy while remaining friendly and the restrooms were clean. Overall, it's a fun and affordable place to spend a few hours, whether you're reliving your childhood or introducing someone else to classic arcade games.

The artwork and animatronics are spot-on, really creative and entertaining. They are proud of their designs, and each location is a little bit different.

I really liked the theme and how unique this place was, compared to the other kids places of this variety (Dave and Busters, Chuck E Cheese, etc).

The process was easy though and check in a good experience. They had the names populated for thr game. Although they ask you for players shoe sizes before hand if available, that didn't carry over to the staff at check in so we had to relate it again. While bowling we enjoyed ourselves. The equipment was maintained and operational. It was cool you could upload photos of your visit and it would appear on the screens in the lanes. Table configurations were a little tight. Food ordering was straightforward. The person that took care of us was Thai. I got to give him credit as he was a one man show it seemed. Bartending, taking orders and making sure we're were taken care of. The pizza was horrible. Fries were better. Cocktails were good. Food pricing was reasonable. All in all, it's a good choice if you are looking for a less chaotic place for family or even a date.
