Really good environment,affordable,drinks are good too and the fact that they bring the food to you is great, go bowling after a movie or play arcades good love it my go to now read more

Only giving 3 stars because the bowling desk guy, the waitress at the lanes and the bowling worked. If you come to just play the arcade, don't. Most the games don't work. You have to keep going to the desk to get refunded. The games that do work take your money 2 times sometimes. We paid for pac-man 3 times and it was a completely different game. I'm tired of going to the desk. Many workers on the floor cleaning but do you think anyone put signs up about the faulty games??? Nope. read more

Raney Raney Raney....is the sweetest most attentive server I've ever had in my life. Even though she has to wear a mask you can feel her smile!!! Coming back soon and requesting her for sure!! She is normally a sales manager, but since Covid she has chosen to help the customers and the Company by becoming a server. Such a sweet girl! We highly recommend asking for her! read more

Love this place! We watch movies there, bowl, and play. It's a great place for the whole family. My daughter rock climbed for the first time today and Brian helped her feel successful, he was awesome! Also they are all very attentive in helping resolve issues.. which I appreciate! read more

Food: I eaten here 5.14.22. The food was slow to come out. It was not crispy and it was cold. The Sliders came out, no cheese and the ground beef was too lean and over cooked. The chicken cheese nachos came out partially cold. They clean the tables off, before you sit. (I see why it was not very busy on a Saturday night.) Chick-fil-A is open till 10 o'clock. read more

You'll have a blast at this place, as long as you don't come with a cheap mindset. Know that you will spend money. If you want to complain about cost, take yo ass over to Nickelrama and have at it. When my two girls aren't with me, I enjoy going to the movie theater, reclining in their leather seats, and ordering some food with a nice cold beverage. I think I just talked myself into going tonight! read more

The movie theater is wonderful. They have leather seats that fully recline and have two modes of heat. The food can be brought right to your seats but unlike similar theaters the waiters walking by don't block your view. We had the margarita pizza, rainbow grilled cheese with tator tots, & vanilla milkshakes...all so yummy! Love this place! read more

Update: Did contact business manager after he replied here but he never answered my email. Another proof that they do not care about their customers. Please DO NOT plan your party here. We had a terrible experience. We paid almost $600 for the Strike Birthday package. We were promised 1 hour of bowling, 45 minutes for a room and 2-hour unlimited attractions. The food was ok but was late. A VIP bowling lane was not working and they moved us, as a result we ended up with 35 minutes or less of bowling. The food was late as well but the host still pressured us to finish ASAP because someone else was going to use the room afterwards. The Unlimited attractions turned out to be not unlimited. Our guests had to use their points in order for them to access the Laser tag, Bumper Cars or Rock Climbing. I explained to the game attendant that it was supposed to be unlimited for two hours but she just ignored me. I wrote an email an the manager only said: "Please keep in mind that we were experiencing higher than normal volume on that day, so all events during that time were a bit delayed." They promised to call me back and 48 hours passed and no resolution was offered. This is a violation of the contract both parties agreed to. If they do not have the staff, then they should cancel the event or give the people more time. Avoid doing birthday parties here. The party host was awful as well. She had no experience talking to children. Save your money and go somewhere else. read more

Definitely enjoyed the movie and pizza! The arcade was an added bonus! I'll return to have more fun after I have my baby! Bummer cars, wall climbing etc read more

Nikki Nicole Kirkpatrick was absolutely AMAZING!!!!!! I threw a birthday party for my granddaughter aint granddaughter and Nikki made it the most fun ever!! She was the sweetest person ever!!! My granddaughter had the very best time and so did every other 4 kids that was there with us!!!! The kids were crying because they didn't want to leave!!!! *Nikki* Nicole Kirkpatrick needs a raise for sure!!!!!!!!!! She was excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

See all

I would normally give more even for bad service but the service we received was disrespectful. My friends and I had to wait almost an hour before ordering a drink. We immediately ordered another due to the long wait time. We then asked for one shot (1.5 hour game time) and she told us we were cut off. It was obvious she was busy which wasn't the issue. The issue was my friend felt discriminated against because she hasn't received one drink and was told it was two per hour. The waitress was surprised when she got a subpar tip along with her subpar service. I recommend the movie theatre and the games but bowling has been a nightmare. read more

This place is awesome, movies, bowling, laser tag, bumper cars, wall climbing, gravity ropes and endless fun. Bar options are great, from craft beer, wine and wonderful cocktails. Also very helpful bartenders for any questions you may have. Arcade has many to choose from. All the latest in arcade to air hockey. Movie theater is a wonderful experience with reclined chairs with heated seats (two settings with temperature, medium and high) and overall amazing service. Food is fantastic, the whole menu. No matter the diet from eating everything to vegan (beyond burger is phenomenal) Service is overall, amazing with quick service and very high quality servers. Shout out to Elizabeth (my server) for being the absolute best and Francis for managing the best crew. It's a must visit, if you like any arcade place you'll love this!!! read more

Absolutely not the experience I wanted to receive on my first time here. We came for my sons birthday and booked a birthday party of 15. And just had nothing but issues. Broken beer glasses in the games, broken pizza machine, cold and rude staff, some of the games didn't work, 4 hour wait for bowling but only three lanes were even being used, tried to out my name down for a table and was told don't worry but when I went for the table was told to wait over an hour and the kids birthday unlimited play cards were already expired. Doing as the staff said left me with unhappy kids with nothing to do waiting to eat. Very horrible first experience. Not sure about coming back to experience this again..... read more

Wont be going here again ever! I' ve given it a couple of tries.... both times ( one with the covid pandemic and one without.) First..... lets start with the staff.... 3 people working in a dinning area, took 30 min to get a table.....they just seemed to be confused as to how the dinning area worked. Second, guys.... its OK to turn on the A/C!!!!! I was there in the winter time..... left completely covered in sweat! ( not a good first date.... thanks guys) then last night, the same effing thing. Third, ordered a beer while bowling.....compley filthly glass with what appeared to be pepper in it.... and a lot of it.... Forth, i would like to see my waiter more than twice in 1 hour! ( so i can even tell him about the dirty glass) he took it off the tab..... after 30 min of it sitting at my table... And last but NOT least.... they have hand sanitizer staions at every lane.... but NOTHING in the arcade?!?!?! These are management issues... i have a feeling if they keep these practices up.... We will soon see them on the news. read more

This place sucks me, my brother,his girlfriend, and my sister wanted to go bowling, but YOU CANT GET IN AFTER 6 PM WITHOUT SOMEONE 25 YEARS OLD OR OLDER. Wasted my time driving there and gas wouldn't recommend going after 6 if your 24 or younger. read more

The host at the bowling section had the worst attitude. I get it if you don't like your job, however... it is a job and you should have at least a decent attitude. I walked up to the counter and first wasn't even greeted by her, I told her I wanted to pay for 30 min of bowling. She proceeded to ask me for my information. She informed me i'd be called once my lane was available. After our paid for time expired, I proceeded to ask if I could please extend my time by paying since I had not even gotten my food I placed an order for. She IMMEDIATELY DECLINED ALLOWING TO ADD MORE TIME TO THE LANE ( sad that I had the patrons next to me say, you can definitely add more time to your lane) because there was a " wait list". I said ok and walked away to a different area where i would wait for my food, which by the way we've been waiting for over 40 min for it. We observed the lane that we used and were rudely told we couldn't extend our time on wasn't used for over an hour by anyone. It just didn't make sense as to why we weren't allowed to add more time. yet there were about 5 lanes opened and not being used. We didn't get our food until about an hour later and lane 2 still was open. I spoke to a manager and he said she'd be "talked to". I highly doubt that even happened. Will not be coming back to this place. Ramiro and Stephanie at the bar were awesome though. Right attitude, friendly just as anyone working with the public should be. :) read more

I did not have issue with this establishment but the Bowling Desk attendant named Rebecca was very rude and disrespectful. She treated us like we were begging to bowl. Our group spend over $400 on bowling and drinks by the way. Maybe it's the last time honestly. read more

Proof that a good concept amounts to nothing without good service. In the VIP bowling area it took 45 minutes to get a drink, and then only begrudgingly from a grumpy waiter. Never got a second chance to request another. It seemed obvious that the kid knew he was getting an automatic tip for our large group. Our food didn't arrive until bowling was long finished and they were pushing us out to make room for the next group. Not so much as an apology, just disdain (for what I cannot imagine, as we hadn't yet complained to anyone) from the lazy fellow. No amenities in the VIP section either. Still had to go out and back through the arcade just to use the restroom. Our final impression was the worst of all. As the next group arrived and we were apologizing for still being in their space (because our pizza had just finally been delivered), the young Hispanic parents asked us if our grandkids had been allowed in, to which we said yes. They said they were nearly turned away because they also had a young daughter, and were told kids weren't allowed in the VIP area. This was never discussed with us. I told the father I was really sorry and that it had a terrible look to it. He agreed but added sadly that 'it's whatever, at least we got in and she gets to bowl'. I regret not taking it up further with someone for an explanation, though I can't imagine what else it could have been. It's one and done for us, I'm afraid, and with a sad regret that we wasted our Saturday night here. read more

Food is finger food. Drinks are okay. Nothing too special. It is a strike and reel. So I don't expect amazing cocktails or amazing food. But for the price, I would expect a little faster service. The games are really over priced. I played with my niece for 2 hours and barely had enough points to get a tiny ball. I spent a good $100 in games. The bowling is nothing special. Just another bowling lanes place. The movie theatre is great. It's new. And cheap tickets compared to AMC down the street. A good date casual date spot. But like I said... it took around 30mins to get 2 cocktails and a beer. Which was crazy. read more

We go to Strike + Reel often. We love the atmosphere. The pizza is wonderful and so are the wings. I got a grilled chicken sandwich last time with tator tots which were burnt. I definitely won't get the sandwich again but everything else I've had was wonderful and staff is friendly. read more

This evening was my first time attending with my family and I was really looking forward to liking this place. Unfortunately, I will not be going back. I have worked in food protection and safety for over 10 years and when the first entree comes out cold/lukewarm, that usually means that there will be more problems to come. We ordered the chicken nachos as a starter and they were cold and extremely SALTY. My daughter got a mouthful of salt almost every other bite. We then ordered our entrees and as I was cutting up my son's chicken tenders, there were a few strands of blond hair just hanging out on the chicken. I always inspect my food out of habit given the nature of my work. I am glad that I did or else my son would have eaten someone's dirty disgusting hair. My husband's sweet potato fries were burnt to the point of it looking like chocolate fries instead of what sweet potato fries are supposed to look like when not fried to smitereens. My daughter's pizza was cold and tasted like rubber. I had also ordered the roasted potatoes but they looked like cold bear droppings and tasted terrible. The food was plain awful. Complete dumpster juice runoff. The menu states that it is chef inspired, but unless your chef is inspired by homeless people who get their meals from a trash heap and go dumpster diving, then I guess you get what you pay for. Honestly I have had a better, fresher and hotter meal from Raisin Canes. My advice is to retrain the entire kitchen staff and revamp the menu because the food is extremely underwhelming and certainly not worth the wait or the money. We took the rest of the food to go because we got tired of waiting for them to re make our other food items. I will say that whatever food items that we took home were promptly thrown on my pile of mulch in my backyard and used as fertilizer. I feel that our entire meal should've been comped and not just given free play cards although it was somewhat of a consolation. In summary our experience was terrible and I will not be coming back. I came in hungry and I also left hungry. I hope that you guys can get the kitchen under control and put some systems into place that will make for a better, safer and more satisfying dining experience for the guests. Best of luck. read more

We've returned again with two different large groups. The bowling really seems to appeal to our younger attendees. The food (taco buffet) has been fine during the last three visits, but the mixed drink service really needs to improve. During our last visit, I ordered a simple gin and tonic. I took one sip, and honestly didn't know what I was drinking. First, there was no lime. I told the server and she brought me some lime wedges. Second, the flavors were so far off, that I'm not sure there was gin or tonic in the drink. It could have been vodka and soda - I don't know. The limes made no difference. Since the first drink was a dud, I tried to order something that a bartender couldn't possibly foul up. I ordered a rum and Coke. Again, I took one sip and couldn't believe the taste. I tasted no rum, but it was like someone poured vanilla extract into my drink. That's all I could taste. How could a professional bartender make drinks these? Next time, I'll stick to wine or bottled beer... read more

The best movie theatre that I've ever been to !!Super nice and accommodating staff !! Very polite and helpful - And cushy seats that are heated and recline as well .... Must visit for sure read more

I want to start this review off by saying we were excited for this place to open. My oldest has had several birthday parties at Pin Stacks and I saw this place was owned by the same company. My youngest had his party here in January 2022 and my oldest had his here today. We got the unlimited package for both boys, so Strike and Reel has received a lot of money from us over the last couple of months. I had an issue at my youngest son's party. In the game room a lot of the activities had no employee standing there to run the activity. I also had an exchange of words with one of the employees running the laser tag for being rude to some of the children at my party. When I booked my oldest son's party I was assured by staff all activites would be open. I had another issue today in the game room with staff being rude to my guests and I had to get a manager. Although, she addressed it with her staff and my guests were allowed back in line to do the activity, the manager never apologized and just seemed annoyed. We will not be back again. There are other places to have a child's birthday party, and we will be spending our money there. You really need to work on customer service!! An apology goes a long way in making the guest feel like they were heard and that you value their business. read more

My brother applied for this company&got the job. He would tell me how cool it was and the many things to do there. We finally decided to go 2 weekends ago,and I must say I'm very impressed. It has everything from an Arcade, to bowling&food,to laser tag and bumper cars! I love the concept of everything under the same roof. While we waited for a bowling lane, we got to play in the arcade,& we had the chance to meet the Manager Francis! He was an upbeat and funny guy,helped us win a big blue bouncy ball :) We also had the chance to try the obstacle course,which didn't seem scary at all,but once I was up there I was sweating lol. The food was amazing while bowling, we ordered the Carnivore Pizza and Loaded fries which were delicious! Definitely coming back to try out the Movies and Restaurant! Overall an amazing experience! :) read more

Food is nasty, but we are excited to go back and use the arcade, bowling and movies. Just eat before or after lol Good news is, dogs got a treat lol read more

It's fine if you're only going to see a movie and that's it. But I've gone there many times and not once have I ever gotten the food or drink that I ordered during the movie. I always order my food or drink before the movie even starts, and after at least 1 1/2 hours, I still haven't gotten it. But the rest of the place is good. Very clean read more

I was hoping for a good place to go to in Garland, as my mom lives near by and she can babysit our 3.5 year old. We live all the way out in Heath. Aesthetically, the place is beautiful. However, the service and food in the theatre was horrible. We ordered a bottle of wine between the both of us and were told that after we finished it we had to wait 30 min to get another one. WTF? As if 2 adults in their 40's and 50's are going to get wasted off a bottle of wine? Not to mention, we only saw our server once. We ordered 2 items. Steve ordered this massive cheese fry thing that was so gross I almost vomited. I ordered a vegetarian pizza that was so soggy and gross, I couldn't stomach it. Sitting at the bar was excellent. Great service. The games were fun. I would like to try the rope course and the rock climbing wall. read more

New place yet bowling lanes kept getting stuck so had to wait for attendant. As we were waiting 5-10 min for the attendants the time kept getting down which was an absolutely dumb. Waste of money. read more

Ok, so after 8 months of NOT going to see a movie, I figured i'd take advantage of a $5 movie on a Tuesday night. We showed up to see our movies. I did not know what to expect, I knew they served food like the Alamo so I was very excited to try their menu. Needless to say, I was a BIT disappointed in the menu selection. Typical bar food menu. I'm on a keto diet so I opted for the chicken Caesar salad. ($12) I was horribly disappointed. They give you about two pieces of chicken and a crap load of salad. If I knew I would have bought a salad beforehand. My bf ordered the chicken tenders, he mentioned they tasted like they've been out all day or for a while. Our bill was a grand total of $40 and I left still hungry. I would rather opt for Alamo or Studio Movie Grill. The theatre was EMPTY and I don't see a reason as why the food was so poor. I don't think I will be dining in the movie. read more

Had very high hopes for this place with it being so close. After first visit though I can say will definitely not return for the bowling or the stacked nachos!!! Did bowling for 2 for only 30 min cause 1 hour seemed way over priced for 1st experience. Well 30min was even worse cause they charged peak hours rate even though more than half the lanes were open plus $7 for shoes so payed $28 for 30 min for 2 people outrageous!!!! Got the stacked nachos presentation was not bad but for $12 you would think they would give you grilled chicken not what looks like canned chicken. Only good things was it is Nice venue but it is BRAND NEW so should be and the $8 piece of chocolate cake that I took home to eat with my coffee next day! So $60 bucks basically for 30min of bowling ,nachos, cake, and tip. I can't see myself ever returning unless they figure out a package deal or special cause unless your job pays you over $120 an hour this isn't the place for you especially with all the inexperienced kids working probably getting payed minimum wage!!! 2 stars just for venue read more

Strike + Reel - Stacked nachos with NASTY CHICKEN!!! - Eatertainment Near Me - Garland, Texas

Place is truly Awesome! Incredible Theater Seats, Great Bar and Restaurant, Food, Music, Bowling, Fun!! Had a great time over the Holidays with friends and will definitely be back!! They are working out some difficulties, but they are super nice and willing to make it better! Highly Recommend!! read more

This place has gone to complete crap. This is the second time we have come to see a movie and had issues. The managers don't handle complaints or try even to resolve the issue. They leave staff to to handle all problems and the staff are not professional or trained. We ordered food that never came and had to sit in a dirty theatre Requested to speak to a manager several times and nobody came. The bill came after the movie was over. When we told them we weren't paying for food we didn't receive we just got blank stares and giggles. As the theatre was clearing out there were numerous families in our same situation. Not the customers fault if you are understaffed. Do not spend your money at this place. It's a joke. read more

I had an amazing time with my family at Strike and Reel. I was impressed that the door man was screening people with a wand. I definitely feel safer. The drinks were cold, the food was delicious and the staff was polite. Thanks Strike and Reel. read more

It's so much to do here, it's fun. Has a bar if u want to let your older kids play while have a couple of drinks. They are nice and helpful. If u want to bowl id suggest you book online a day before because that area stays booked. read more

Whenever a team goes above and beyond to make everything right it's not possible for me to write a poor review. Alex and the team made sure we enjoyed our Valentines sans kids. The first in quite some time I might add. The food is standard fare and the place is clean! read more

Tried out the bowling with my family and received terrible service. I had high hopes for this place but will not be returning.

This place is the best, not only can you have the best family time but also the best drinks!! Thank you Bailey your the best bartender out here! read more

What a great concept. Stopped in on Tuesday. We bowled for about 30 minutes. Got in a couple games along with a couple drinks. Finished up in the theater watching a movie in their most comfortable heated recliners. The food was way better than any I've ever had in a theater. Service very professional. Bowling was $10.00 every 30 minutes; $4.00 for shoe rental and drinks were reasonable for a enter venue. Bowling rates do go up during peak hours. Full bar, event rooms, bowling, massive arcade and movies. Great spot for Garland/Richardson surrounding area. read more

This place has so much to do!! The food is good we had the carnivore pizza and stacked chicken nachos and both were great. Our friends had the wings and nachos and they liked it too. The Kids have so much to do. Lots of arcade games bowling rock climbing and even movies. The service for food was a ONE. We had a table of ten (2 families) and our server was clearly overwhelmed. She came for drink orders then after dropping off our drinks she was about to rush off again when we asked if we could place our orders, she seemed overwhelmed like she wasn't ready to take our orders but she took my families order (half the table) and then rushed off again and we didn't see her again until that food came out and then she took the rest of the tables orders. We asked for refills from a separate server because we didn't know where she had went and they offered to go find her and about ten minutes later she rushed by and placed a pitcher of water on the table and rushed off again without a word, that left those of us with drinks other than water with nothing still. The orders came out slowly but that's to be expected at a place like this, but she still forgot 3 orders... Another server finally (about 2 hours into our visit) came and made sure we got refills and that the orders that had been forgotten were coming. Dissapointing that the 18% gratuity is automatically added. I Have worked as a server for over ten years & I know tips are important especially with big tables but when the server is clearly avoiding you and the only thing anyone else offers is to get her and she still never comes is crazy unfair. it should not be mandatory to pay for service not received... Overall other than the service we recieved this place pretty fun for families with so much to do and we will be back. read more
