Four stars for the movie theater's chairs being so ridiculously comfortable. One star was dedicated however as the service to order food and drink was terrible. We used the buzzer several times and had absolutely no response. I understand each company has their own policy but for sitting in a long movie without and clear signage on how to order is frustrating. I can't comment on how the food was as we weren't able to order after all. read more

I've been wanting to try this movie theater for years now, especially since it's the closest one to my apartment. The theater isn't as big as Cinemark or AMC, but they do offer $5 movies on Tuesdays. I strongly dislike the online ticketing process-- it's inconvenient to have to call in order to cancel/refund tickets. At other theaters, I can just go online and click a button to cancel. At Strike + Reel, I have to call the box office and read them my entire card information to process a cancellation. Overall, the theater is decent and affordable (if you pay the one-time $20 membership fee). They don't provide free water cups like Cinemark or AMC, and the restrooms are small (only three stalls in the women's room), and two of them were out of toilet paper when I went. The place was packed on Tuesday, which brought back memories of the good old moviegoing experience. Popcorn costs $8 for a small bag, and there are no refills on the $5 soda cups. If you're looking to save an extra dollar on movie Tuesdays, this is a great option. But if you care about the amenities that bigger theaters offer, it's probably best to skip this one. read more

Now you know the service is horrible if I'm writing this review while still in the movie theater!!! My brother and I ordered food and didn't get the food until the middle of the movie AFTER I pressed the service button checking the status on our small order ! Even after the food was delivered we had to request napkins and condiments. Once those were received I refused to bug the incompetent wait staff again for plastic wear to dress my burger, so I dressed the burger with my French fries. The burger had cheese (that I had to scape off with my finger) I have a cheese sensitivity which is why I ordered a HAMBURGER vs a cheeseburger. Won't be back. read more

Great prices especially on Tuesdays for movies! Would Def come again. Fun arcade and bowling area. Good times for everyone.

Really enjoy Strike & Reel, I come often and actually paid for the Reel Rewards a couple years ago and they pay off nicely (and I own the high score on the GotG pinball machine). Movies, arcade, bowling, are the constant goods. Laser tag, rock climbing, rope course, bumper cars and unfortunately the restaurant are hit or miss depending on if they are A: Open and Staffed and B: Staffed by good, knowledgeable employees. No disrespect to the people working, everyone has their bad days, but occasionally you get the worker who either doesn't care or doesn't know and it can sour the day sometimes. But there are still very good workers and most of the time it's an enjoyable experience that makes me want to come back. read more

I've never been to a Strike and Reel, but have driven past this place quite a few times! I went here to watch the 2024 Twisters movie. Movie theatres have definitely changed quite a bit since I was a kid! I loved the big plush reclining leather seats with a cup holder and food tray. Extra brownie points for the heated seating option for people who love a toasty seat :) You have the option to order your food while seated in your recliner and they will bring your order to you. Alternatively, you can go to the "Self-Serve" counter and order at the counter. I felt like the matinee tickets were fair (around $12 per ticket). The prices for concession were a bit pricey and I didn't appreciate that they only had 1 size for everything. Highway robbery lol. Please bring back small sodas and popcorn! I don't need a large bag and soda by myself! TYSM! Large popcorn $8 Large soda/tea $5 read more

Movie date night Friday 9/13 We purchased tickets online, pretty simple and easy process. Ample parking, and easy walkability. I will say we were taken aback with the handgun/weapon screening process at the door as I've not experienced at any other theater locally. During our entry we noticed mostly younger teen aged workers, when bringing in orders to theaters there seemed to be lots of joking, horseplay, as well as one serving huffing and puffing over the food trays while delivering orders. The movie itself was great, nice reclining and seats with optional seat warmers. We did not visit the arcade or bowling areas during our visit. Prices seemed average for local venue, I would try again possibly during a school day to avoid some of the younger crowds for a quieter/calmer visit. read more

i was here with a group and it was a saturday night. I was ordering a drink from the bar and when, a bartender stephanie was telling the other bartender that was making my drinks that we need to slow down and was drinking too fast(note she was telling him this in front of us). and mentioned that our friend group was taking shots when we were only ordering cocktails. she was very rude and was giving us very means looks. if i could rate the service i would give negative 3 stars. if you hate your job then you need to find a new one. read more

I have never been to a Strike & Reel Bowling Alley before yesterday. When I tell you, This place had everything but a hotel in the building lol. I truly enjoyed myself. We did have a minor issue when we were looking to eat in the dining room area though. All the big booths were dirty. However Tre' , and Rubi handled it quickly. There was another young man that came to assist him but I didn't get his name in the red shirt. He was also wiping down the tables as Tre' sprayed (was in a wheelchair). LaNiyah was our server she was very friendly, polite, kind, and offered a few good drink choices. My second Beach House Ken tasted very different than my first one though. Not sure if they'd changed bar mixologists or not. Overall everyone was attentive as younger people being employed in a bigger establishment like this I was impressed. Tre' came by to check on us periodically which was great, Rubi was very soft spoken, and made sure we had no concerns or complaints. Whomever interviewed these young staffers' and gave them their positions made the best decisions. Hopefully they're getting paid for their asks professionalism's too. Not quite sure why the stars on Yelp are so low but whatever caused this hopefully it's shifting to a higher level of quality for people. 9/10 if the tables and big seating benches hadn't been dirty I'd offer all 10's. I'll still revisit this Strike & Reel again though. read more

We had fun for what we came for. Played several different games, rode the bumper cars and did the above ground obstacle course. The obstacle was fun to do with my boys but I didn't have the guts to do the zip line part. The only downfall, which I'm sure it's not easy to get past in public places and whereabouts, was when I entered the women's bathroom, it smelled so intense from weed. I take my son sometimes with me because if I'm by myself, which I was, I don't let him go into the Men's alone. I'm just glad it was only me entering the Women's bathroom but it was so bad you could literally smell it while being out on the video game floor. read more

Great concept...Movies, Bowling, Bar, Restaurant, Arcade...previously went to a movie, good experience! Today's visit was to the Arcade section...this needs some help. Too many machines not working properly...we did finally find an attendant to re-charge our card for broken machines...it appears time to up the maintenance program! read more

This could really be a great place but management was lacking. We were there at 11:45pm and it was over run with unchaperoned children. A lot of the games were broken. The good offered is below par. Anyone you talk to about an issue is oblivious because they are 18. This place is a person with nefarious intentions dreams. The scantily clad 13 and 14 year old girls and grown men walking around was very disturbing to me. I understand parents like to drop their children off at arcades but then again this was late at night. I saw only a handful of adults and tons of kids. They were even sitting at the bar. Maybe me an my old age just can't relate. read more

My son wanted his birthday hosted at Strike and Reel - what a wonderful experience! We reserved a theater for a private screening with our own server, bowled a couple games, crushed each other in bumper cars, annihilated each other in laser tag, climbed a wall, did a ropes course and played a million games in the arcade! So many things to do in this place and the service was excellent. The manager, Sheri was there to help us with whatever we needed. I can't say enough great things about this place - highly recommend for a fun night out! read more

Update: Manager did a nice job on service recovery by owning the issue and giving all in theater a pass for another movie. I will give them another shot. ---------------- Terrible movie experience; watching F1 and it continuously stopped during the film. Worst thing on a movie; last time I come here for a movie. read more

Strike and reel is altogether a pretty good place to go the movie theater is nice and the bowling alley is too but the food is a double sided coin sometimes the food is good and sometimes it's not but one thing for sure is i don't recommend the epic cheese fries read more

Will never come back here. Came to the bar they put 2 pending charges on my account for the bar and said they would fall off claimed it was because they get people that run out. My tab was $30.31 I paid the dude $50 cash giving him a $20 tip and was charged $50 on my card. This is definitely a scamming place they did the same thing to my friend. Will never come back here. Management never called me back. It's been 3 weeks now! read more

CHEER CHEER FOR THE ATMOSPHERE! seriously, 5 stars for atmosphere. there's so much to do inside. bowling, bar/restaurant, movies (clearly), laser tag, ropes course, arcade, etc. i decided to go here to see the barbie movie. i've been here once before, but only kicked it at the bar. this time, i made a day out of it. the seats in the theatre are FIRE. best seats i've ever sat in. they recline back SO far and are heated. i was obsessed. super plush too, they put some money into it. food/drinks: i'm a gin girl & there weren't many gin cocktails on the menu, so i just requested they make me a french 75. the bartender KILLED it. best one i've had in a long time (the first time i came to this theatre they were out of champagne & that felt disrespectful to my soul, so i'm glad they were better this time). i ordered the salmon off the menu and O H MY FLIPPING G O S H . i almost didn't pay attention to the movie because that salmon was INCREDIBLE. so incredible that i didn't want to finish it and made myself box it up to take home for a late night treat. so glad i did. i will definitely be back. it's a little out the way for me, but for that salmon, those seats & those drinks? . . . i'm in. read more

We have been long time visitors Strike + Reel. 29-Aug we went to the re-release of Jaws 50th Anniversary, theater #4. I am gluten free, therefore, in advance, I called to make sure there were gluten free options (as I always do, menu's often change) I was assured they had tacos, salads and gluten free pizza options. Imagine my surprise when I get to the venue to order and the options are slim to none. The first server we had was a young lady, when I asked if the the tacos were on corn tortillas her response was "there on some kind of tortilla but I'm not sure wha they are made of". I asked her to check with the kitchen to find out. In the meantime, our drinks are delivered, no napkins. A different server returns, he tells me the tacos are on flour tortillas. I explain I'll have the pizza with the Cauliflower crust; he tells me they ran out a few weeks ago and have had trouble getting their delivery so therefore they don't have it. I then ask him exactly what on their menu or in their kitchen is gluten free, he tells me "not much" I asked him to go back to the kitchen and ask someone. He returns to tell me I can have a salad or a burger with no bun. I opt for the burger with no bun and no FF because they are cross contaminated. I say no FF at least 3 times. During this time our appetizers are delivered, still no napkins. My SIL asks for napkins and a straw for her iced tea, they deliver 2 napkins, I say to him, "sir, we ALL need napkins" so they finally bring enough napkins for our party. When our food is delivered I am not given utensils, how does one eat a burger patty on a plate with no bun and no utensils? And there were FF on my plate... UGH. I push the button and ask for a knife, to cut said burger patty, and a fork. He tells me "we don't have any knives, I'll have to check if we have forks" Wait.... WHAT?!?!? If there are no utensils, how would I have eaten a salad?? He returns with a fork AND a knife. The cocktail I had didn't taste like it any alcohol in it. It's sad that this establishment has deteriorated the way it has. GREAT concept, TERRIBLE management. The actions of the service staff is a direct reflection of management and training.Over all, we were there to see a movie, and see the movie we did. The food and the service was terrible. Not sure we will be back for "dinner" and a movie. read more

Pleasantly surprised by the food. The wings hit the spot for me, there were two tiny pieces of celery - didn't even realize they were there till later lol The burger and tots were so-so, asked for medium and felt like it was well done, the tomato slice was too thick. Wouldn't get that burger again. I usually enjoy tater tots but these were not impressive. Didn't get a chance to picture the fries or kids pizza but those tasted pretty good. read more

I took my family to go bowling. I paid $52 for the hr. No problem. But no server came to assist after asking twice. I finally go to bar to order food and bartender was like I can take ur order but you have to take it to the lane. He moved in slow motion for drinks and 2 of them were just water and lemonade. I had to keep walking back n forth to carry my drinks 3 trips. Food took forever to come out and when I kept coming to check on it (barely bowled cuz I was being a server) but bartender wouldn't even acknowledge me. Food came out on big circle thing that I couldn't carry at 515. We got there at 419p. I asked for manager two times and no one came. Servers were present but on phones chilling with people at counter. The bartender that closed us out was young and he was amazing and polite but this was after we played games. I spent a lot of money for sub standard service. read more

First timer at Strike + Reel. Walking up it remind me of a Dave and Buster's, but bigger and better. I can't comment much on the bowling or games outside of just walking through. The electronic machine is fairly easy to maneuver to purchase tickets. It gave the movie options and directed you on how to pay. It was odd that the payment screen took a while to reset, so we thought that it didn't go through even though it provided our tickets. The seats are awesome. Recline and heated/cooled deepening on your preference. We didn't know how to order food, so I went out to ask a employee, which they provided direction. For those who are new to the venue, there is a button next to the legs that you to push for service. I got the epic fries appetizer. Honestly, I couldn't expect much more than fried food. However, we weren't offered condiments and the staff forgot our waters until reminded. The food for four of us come at all different times. The movie experience itself was good. read more

Garland Fall Break, yet this location was horribly under staffed and staff present was so unhelpful and seemed either baked or miserable. Card machines don't work and were sent to the first cashier. She couldn't help us and sent us to the bowling cashier, who also couldn't help us and she called the manager. We waited 15 minutes after that for a manager. Yet, when 5 kids were getting antsy for the 30 minutes since we walked in the door, they finally get their play cards and jogged to the arcade, a rude older dude yelled at them for jogging. Then, the upper course was closed. We were told it would open at noon because and I quote " we don't have enough staff". So, at noon, we are told " the guy who runs this is running late" by 12:30, still was closed. I asked to talk to the manager , thinking he might be able to give us a time and once he was called on the walkie, he didn't acknowledge the page. Never did open the upper course. Feel sorry for the workers who did show up but think it's terrible to have 3 workers testing games when so short of staff in other areas. Won't be back. read more

I don't think I have ever gone to a place where there is a bowling alley and also a place where you can watch movies at the same time. This place has a bowling alley, arcade area, and also a mini movie theater. I went to this place on Tuesday night with my husband and cousin in law and the movie tickets were only $5! Cheap movie tickets since nowadays, typical movie tickets are expensive to watch a movie. I watched Gran Turismo and the movie theater was so cute. It's a mini movie theater and when you entered the movie room, they pretty much had everything a normal movie theater would have. I wanted to order popcorn and a drink and was looking for that, but once I sat down, someone came over to give me a menu and asked me what I wanted. It was so nice to have someone do that and once you ordered, they get your food and bring it to you. The menu has a few different selections which is nice as well if you haven't ate dinner or if you want a mid-night snack. The shakes were pretty good and they were big, so be cautious when ordering that. The seats recline like how the ones I sit in at Century theaters back in California. One thing I have to say, is that they have seat warmers! Thank goodness they had that. I was cold in the theaters. They also have cold seats as well. So nice! Overall, the experience here was great and I would definitely come back here again if I am in the area. read more

I've never been to a movie theater where I had to be searched for weapons by a rude, roided-up "bouncer" like some criminal before entering the building. The entire place smells like sweaty feet and weed. The cocktails had no alcohol in them, were watered down, and took 40 minutes to get for some reason. Why are there only three stalls in the bathrooms for 8 theaters? Seriously, unless you're forced to come here for some tragic, overpriced kid's birthday party, I would AVOID this place. read more

Wish I can give this a zero stars from how frustrated I'm from my whole experience there today and in the past but I can't so I will settle for one star. The staff are not attentive at least the one that for some reason I always get in the VIP lounge. He will see you probably only 2 times your entire visit even if you press the button to call for a waiter. The first time I had him was on Father's Day and I get the place was packed so he was probably busy the whole time. But we paid a little bit extra to be in the VIP lounge so we thought we would get a waiter that only had that area. But I guess not since we only saw him about 4 times our entire time there on Father's Day even though we pressed the button way more than that. The second time was today and the place was not overly packed. Just like last time we got the VIP lounge and yet again we got the same waiter as last time. But this time the experience was awful. It took me asking other waiters, pressing the button, and trying to find him to even get a second order in. When I did press the button I had two people that are not my waiter come and tell me to turn off the button and that my waiter will be with me shortly. It took me waiting about 20 mins and pressing the button again to even see my waiter. It took 40+mins to get a shake and by the time I got it the time for the bowling lane was almost up. (Ordered it when my time left on my lane was at 57mins and got it when I had less than 14mins left) read more

The most disrespectful bar crew!!! All three tvs have the same game on and when we asked for them to change the channel to another football game 35 mins later and they literally avoiding coming to this end of the bar!

Always something going on with this place. I understand that they can be understaff but when no one puts an effort to reassure and/or put an effort that service is slow. I feel like an idiot waiting for the workers to speed up. Having to wait 30 minutes for drinks at my lane. Then when I'm done. I'm in the line at the bar just to order ONE drink. It takes 20 minutes to just take my order. I had people in my line conversating with me about how we've both waiting an outrageously long time and that we're wasting time on our bowling lane time limit and friends are already playing in the arcade. 20 minutes for 2 drafts is outrageous. Please inform yourself that there's a risk to coming here and depending on their hospitality. You are risking your time and patience. read more
