they had amazing service and great food it came very quickly and tasted fresh i will make sure to come back again

Best Rizzo pizza ever. Craig and his staff take care of you. Food is top notch. Gets loud when the steel workers come in, depending on which group shows up. They're fun. The Black Cat has been around for over five decades. Craig does his father proud. The guy that gave em one star? STFU read more

Great casual atmosphere. Food was good, highly recommend the bacon cheeseburger. Cold beer and family friendly.

Love the pizzas at the Black Cat. Probably the best around. When in town I always go there for my pizza fix. The prices are very reasonable - the atmospheres a little different, an it's still in the process of being remodeled. They need to get new benches in the bar area. They are ripped up. The bowling alley is being remodeled. Still has a way to go.... read more

The Black Cat Lanes - a man sitting at a bar - Bowling Near Me - New Carlisle, Indiana

See all

I had a $10 salad that came with a packet of dressing, no silverware, and a credit card upcharge.

Before you order, ask who's cooking. Cleanliness in the kitchen is not something this place prides themselves on. I'm sure they clean up, but they don't wash their hands. The service really all depends. You have two people behind the bar bouncing back and forth between a newly rebuilt bowling alley and the bar. I think if they hired another person for waitstaff it would balance that out. Or if the so called "manager" got off his rear end at the end of the bar, things might run a little better. Again. Be careful with what you eat. The burgers are the only thing I'd personally suggest. The pizza is never cooked fully and is super greasy. Not in a good way either like your local Luigi's. The bowling alley is coming along. Only took them 10 years to finish it. Record time in that one horse town. They should invest in a POS touch system for in the bowling alley itself. It would help when having to split the bill bowling wise because it's 20 dollars an hour per lane. Up to 6 bowlers. It's a good deal. But you also have those one or two friends who keep wanting shots of fireball or want to have a cigarette. The bathrooms are a joke. Tons of graffiti on the stall walls in the men's room. Speaking of the stall, there's no door. Put up something there. Because of the food there, I don't know if I have to fart or will have the runs. I've pooped in the women's restroom before. Sorry ladies. Finally. The beer. Don't buy anything draft. It all has that weird taste to it. Kinda like if you were to get a Pepsi or coke fountain pop from a Indian owned gas station. No offense to them, but you know what I'm talking about. Will I return, of course. There's no other place in town to where I can get drunk, the shits and find a glory hole in that town. read more

A great place for eating with family. Food is great and a nice mix. They make you feel welcome. Try it out. You'll like it. If you like bowling check it out. They have been rebuilding the bowling lanes. read more

We came into town to visit a friend and decided to eat here before heading home. We were not greeted when we came in, and didn't know whether to seat ourselves or wait to be seated. Since noone was around, we just grabbed a booth. Eventually a friendly waiter came over with menues and waters. I have to be honest that my expectations were not very high initially, but we ordered our food and once it arrived, I was definitely excited to try it. I have to say we were all pleasantly surprised with the quality and flavor of each dish. I tried my son's calzone and admit it's one of the best I've had. My cripsy chicken sandwich was cooked perfectly and DELICIOUS! I wish they had Dr. Pepper, but the water I drank wasn't awful. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his burger and we look forward to coming back and trying some of their different menu options. read more

I give this restaurant five stars! Great job on the remodel! It's definitely family friendly with bowling lanes & arcade. I personally enjoy the nacos & their new flat breads. read more

This pizza is good, can be a little greasy at times. The new bowling lanes look fantastic, they did a really nice job with the renovation.

They are slower than a constipated snail. You go to pick it up when they say its ready and its not even cooked yet. When it is done its slop. read more

Ate here late a couple of Sundays ago. Had a burger and fries that were really good.The woman had a beef au jus sandwich and liked it as well. The waitress/bartender was nice,told us about the roof issue they were having, thus no bowling for a few weeks, but other than that,the place rocks. Neat collection of every single Drewrys been label ever put on a bottle on the wall here.Great down to earth vibes. I will continue to go here, maybe even try the pizza.Try it, you' like it! read more

A fairly inexpensive bowling place - one game for four people, shoes, and a pitcher of beers is 20 bucks. It's not the newest bowling place - many of the lanes were not in working order. Apparently, they have a bar and grille attached to the bowling place. read more

Alright, so the food is sort of tasty, but it is often times wrong, and takes way longer than expected. There are many problems with bowling, and the costumer service is horrid. The wait staff takes a very long time to tend to their costumers. Also, the water they give you to drink is yellow, and the kitchen workers don't observe proper health code. Very disappointed. read more

Always great pizza! Experienced their food at a catered event; it was very good. Always friendly service. Very consistent.

Best pizza in town...no contest. And the burgers are awesome too.

Snack pizza ... What more do I need to say? If you haven't had one then I feel sorry for you. And they have this sandwich called the Rizzo. It's ham or beef and cheese with Marinara sauce. Seriously.. The food is great. read more

Quaint and small-town friendly. Pizza was fantastic, service was sweet, but the heater didn't work in the bowling alley, which makes for a less than cozy atmosphere in 20-degree weather. Fix the heat and put away the clutter on the side wall... Would definitely bowl and eat here again. read more

Service was slow, nothing like a bar full of drunks and the staff too busy playing grabass to help anyone on the bowling side. 35 minutes for mozzarella sticks is unacceptable, and it was all freezerlicious at that. The bowling lanes glitch like Windows 95, no wonder the place was empty. And if you think it has the best pizza, wow, sorry you arent able to taste good stuff. read more
