Great place to take the kiddos for a family night of fun. They have bowling of course but also have a little fun arcade. Good, yummy, food . had a great time with the family. Also even though we didnt make a reservation they still did what they could to get us on a bowling lane as quickly as possible. Great place!!

This place used to have great food and service, but I recently stopped in to grab some food and I noticed that they are very unsanitary!The kitchen staff didnt wash their hands or change their gloves once!!!They touched the food, register, and the microphone, and the girl actually was playing with her hair with the gloves she never changed!!Also, they got my order wrong, and they arent wearing any hair nets, so I wont be back!!I hope the owner will see this and try to make some necessary changes!!Will not be back!!Paula Young

I usually come here with my husband and kids but as of today never stepping a foot in here . My daughter is autistic and she will only eat certain food and they were like you can’t bring outside food which I completely understand but the fact is that I’m not gonna force my 3 year old eat their food and I even told him the situation that my daughter has a disability and he didn’t even care . Never again will they receive my service and it’s not about the food it’s how there discriminating her and it’s sad that business like this one are doing stuff like this what a shame!!!

Always a blast. Food is good. Clean area to sit and eat. The lanes are very nice. The only downfall is the organization of the balls. Its like a mad hunt at times. But, in the end It is worth it

Place is a great place for your family or just a date. Food is amazing (especially the wraps). Into craft beers? They have a surprising good selection too. Also, for the gambling adults, they have video gaming slots. All around, well rounded, great place.

I do not understand why they close at five. Pretty ridiculous. They really need to edit the times when they open and close when you look it up. Very disappointed. I used to absolutely love this place, but now is a three star for me

Bowl Haven was a great experience. Staff was friendly and helpful. I know there was previous review regarding the prices being high, but as a business owner I know that they are probably fair when you take into consideration what the cost to run the business per day most likely is.I will definitely recommend the place to others and anytime I am visiting my family again I will return to do more bowling.

Visited 3/30/19 they were fairly busy, which is fine and understandable. But, was met at the counter by an older gentlemen, who just stared at my girlfriend and her younger sister, and myself with out saying anything. When we asked about getting a lane, he stated that we would have to wait until a lane opened up and that we would only have an hour to play. Again, fine. So, we sat at the tables next to the counter and as soon as we sat down a family behind us was told a similar story but followed up with being given a lane immediately, even though our name was taken down in a list for who gets next open lane.Which is extreamly puzzling, why we would get skipped.Id like to believe that the man just spaced on it, but then it started adding up that he wasnt interested in out business as my girlfriend and my self have facial piercings and visible tattoos and are an interracial couple.My guess is we didnt fit the demographic for the establishment, so in turn were put on the back burner for service.Needless to say, will not be returning and will advocate for other alleys in the area.

Good lanes but horrible service, a few relatives and I waited an hour and a half for one lane. There were atleast 5 lanes open but we couldnt use them until they were cleaned. Which took another 20 minutes and the man behind the counter took their time cleaning the lanes while ignoring the other costumers at the counter.

Very popular. The game room was a bit limited for the kids but overall good experience.
