   Great place to meet friends and play games. The wait for bowling is 2-3 hours and you can’t make reservations for it . I enjoyed myself but the service is slow and food wasn’t that great .

   Food is okay at best and overpriced for what it is. Bowling lanes and corn hole are always reserved for a private event so don't plan on bowling.

   I recently visited Punch Bowl for a birthday celebration, and the ambiance was perfect for a fun night out. It’s a great spot for dinner with friends, birthdays, or even a casual date night. The new arcade upgrades add a fun touch, although they do encourage a bit more spending. The food was good, but unfortunately, the service was a bit slow, and our server didn’t come across as very welcoming. Despite that, the lively atmosphere made up for it, and I’d still recommend it for special occasions or a fun evening with friends.

   Service was really good as well as the ambiance. Very fun for large families, especially with teenagers. Food however was bad, mushy fries, sandwich was raw inside, nachos were bad, cheese sticks were empty :(. We ordered so much food and nothing was good unfortunately. We had a large party and almost ordered everything, unfortunately everything was pretty bad.

   We went on a Sunday. We had a good time overall. Bison fries, beignets and drinks were good. Couple things we weren’t happy with: - our lane was so close to the next lane there was hardly any room to walk or keep our drinks/food - there was bingo and loud music going on near our dart boards which made it impossible to have a conversation. - coffee was lukewarm and never got a refill

   The service was mediocre. We were celebrating a 50th birthday and included it on my reservation, the birthday girl wore her sash and tiara and our waitress didn’t even care. No “happy birthday” no “congratulations”, nothing. She just took our orders, dropped off our food and dropped off our check. The karaoke 🎤 staff was much more pleasant. The birthday girl enjoyed herself but not from the assistance of this establishment. I would not return for a special occasion.

   My experience was on 12.29.24. There seemed to only be one waitress for the whole place and it must’ve been overwhelming for her. The person helping us get our bowling shoes gave us attitude and was making faces while we asking shoe sizes and rushing us while there was literally no one else in line. The bowling is overpriced, $20 per person for an hour where at other bowling places they charge per lane and at much cheaper rates. Also the bowling balls are incredibly damaged. The person attending us at the bowling lanes also seemed to have an attitude and overall my experience wasn’t great and I won’t be coming back. It is definitely not somewhere I would recommend celebrating a birthday.

    Super fun spot!! Excellent service. We were on a party bus and time was limited. I will be going back and allowing for more time.
