Awesome place to bowl. This has been around for decades but they've constantly made upgrades along…read morethe way so it looks newer and everything is kept clean. Staff is great and helpful! Bowling is always fun, they keep the lanes well oiled and the machines work great. They host a variety of leagues here, everywhere from ultra competitive school competitions to the chillest family leagues and birthday parties, as well as just plain old open bowling, so there's something for every skill level and age. They also have an arcade, as well as a bar and grill. I have never said or typed this sentence in my life, but ORDER THE CHICKEN FINGERS! You will not be disappointed. They were probably the best I've ever had in my life...hand-breaded perfection. This is the bowling alley that showed me how fun bowling could be when I was a kid, then as a student it hosted leagues where I made a ton of friends, and now I get to come here to make memories with a family of my own. It's not as cheap as it used to be, but what is anymore? About the same price as a night out at a movie. Would definitely recommend this place!

Bartender was not very friendly, maybe he was just tired or having a bad day or something. Drink selection was a bit basic - no draft beers, not much of a top shelf, but had the basics like Jack Daniel's. Other people seemed nice but mostly kept to their own groups. I practiced by myself for about an hour with no one interrupting or disturbing me and then checked out and left. Summary: 3/5 if I was local I would probably go back just for the tables, but nothing really stands out to make it a destination if you're just visiting.

The…read moremini golf was quite busy during the time that we were out there, but it didn't feel cramped at all! We decided to split our group into two teams and we did the Volcano one. It was a lot of fun, not very challenging but of course, our group made it competitive. After putting, we did the go-karts, which was also a lot of fun! Some of the guys' karts were slow, which was probably a good thing. They also have an arcade area, which was nice and cool since it was quite warm and muggy outside during the time we were there. The bathrooms were clean. We didn't try any of their food while there, but they had ice cream! Overall a good place to hang with a large group, good for families with kids, or adults that want to have fun like kids :D

A lot has changed since the last time we visited a few years ago…read more We were looking to break out of what I call our "DeKalb" funk since we have been eating a lot in DeKalb when we do eat out. I thought of Hoffman House, which is co-located inside a hotel. We'd eaten there years ago, and their prime rib was very good. While driving north, my wife looked it up. They changed from a white table cloth restaurant to more of a sports bar theme. Their entree list was rather anemic and just not worth the trip, except they did offer Prime Rib on Saturday. We made the trip. For starters, when you walk in there is no hostess station. The bartender told us "Sit where ever you want." so we found a booth that was clean and sat down. The seating was, well worn as in worn out. The seat covers were chipping on the chairs, and the booth seating was just dead. Our server arrived and we placed our order. My wife ordered tea, and I had a Guiness draft which was properly poured. The server brought out 4 honey buns, which are light and fluffy, sprinkled with powdered sugar, and served with a honey butter blend. They are best when they arrive - HOT. (Eat them as they arrive) It wasn't very long before the main course came out. No salad was offered. My Prime Rib was ordered and served medium rare, and the baked potato was cooked properly. I was expecting some horseradish sauce with the Prime Rib - nope. My wife did enjoy her shaved Prime Rib sandwich - the roll it was on was nice, and she opted for the premium onion strings, which were tasty. Why just okay? This was a place to go for a nice dinner with your family. It has transformed into a tired sports bar. Lots of screens, but it's kind of half-hearted with regards to the sports bar theme. Servers aren't in sports uniforms, there isn't a lot of stuff on the walls. The seating is worn out and should be either refinished or replaced. It feel like they ran out of money or concepts during the conversion, and just stopped. There is nothing compelling here to bring us back.

Lots of interesting stuff hanging on the walls, although that moose is a misrepresentation, you can't put double horns in there and expect people not to notice. Really what I loved the most was the cash register they had behind the bar. The food was OK. Not great.! first of all the meat was phenomenal. I had the New York strip. But the salad and all the sides were worse than a cafeteria. Like really really poor. It doesn't increase food cost that much to throw a little mixed greens in your salad so it's actually healthy. Overall, I had a great experience but it's because I love good steak. Personally, I think high-quality sides make or break a restaurant.

Oh well. -Nothing notable on price vs similar venues. Bottom Line: Viable casual hangout
