Great people, great food and fun bowling. All the staff we…read moreencountered were very friendly and helpful. After bowling we stayed for lunch, and so glad we did! 3 of the 4 of us ordered pizza, the 4th had a wrap. I ordered thin crust, the other 2 hand tossed. We all ordered our own mix of sauces and toppings. The wrap was tasty as well. This was my first time there, but will most definitely not be my last.

We stopped here for a drink on the way to dinner to get a small bite to carry us over for a few…read morehours, nothing fancy just a small town bar stop. The place is a bar, restaurant and 6 lane bowling alley with all locals. It's funky with the chain door handle and mannequins all over the place. For a small town bar they have a great selection of booze and a few taps of nothing super special. Drinks were as expected. We were going to do a cheese curd basket . The cheese curd basket was typical bar frozen and nothing special like beer battered so as expected. Overall it's a funky space for drinks and bar food. Service was ok with the green bartender but she did ok with another woman just workin the open kitchen behind the bar.

This is an arcade with a set price admission and everything is free once you get in…read more Goods $15 for unlimited play is a fraction of the cost of spare time or Dave and Busters. You don't need to reload cards. Kids can use any machine as quick as they can. Just using a few continues on arcade games alone gets there very quickly. They have a bunch of the good Star Wars arcade games that are slightly older yet still tons of fun. I love the 4 player X-men arcade game room along with all the marvel comics variants as four player games. That is awesome to play through and beat them all with friends. Needs improvement They desperately need better HVAC. Having teenage boys and gamer kids inevitably means fewer showers. It's noticeable as you walk in and hits you like a truck. While we have been here before and it didn't have an odor then, this is a hurdle you need to cross if not remedied immediately. A surprisingly low amount of pinball cabinets and of the ones they have, half of them work. A bunch of the seats have ripped edges, duct tape and broken plastic. Overall It's a B sort of place that older teenagers will not be thrilled with but middle school kids will love it

Date of visit: January 24, 2026…read more What else is there to do on a ridiculously cold day in Madison before a show that evening besides hanging out at an arcade? For just $15, you can play as much as you'd like, with a wide variety of games from classics that are even older than me (if you can believe that) to things that are quite a bit newer. Games are mostly organized by type, so all of your racing games are together, shooters, etc., which is nice for the most part, but can make mounting and dismounting some of the racers a bit tricky or have you slightly closer to a stranger than you would prefer. Most games were in good repair, though a few were not so good, such as House of the Dead 4. Would have preferred a bit more in terms of snacks and beverages to allow me to stay longer and play a bit more, but I'll just prepare better next time!

I gave it three stars because the few workers that are there doing it all, and the ambiance. It's also a very clean place.

So again understaffed, understaffed, and understaffed.

The friday fish fry: they seem to cater to the "call in, pick up" orders. We were seated immediately(1/2empty dining rm) Nobody was eating & waitress said it would be an hr. til fish would be ready. We ordered at 5:40 and got our meals at 7:10!!!! I would give -5 stars for that. Soon nobody will dine in, the wait staff will quit cuz they only serve 2 tables a night,, bartenders not making drinks, (so not much tip $$). Until they put a limit on takeout orders it will get worse. I won't be back, too bad cuz I live 15mi away.
