We had a great time at Uncle Buck’s. We had a group of twelve six per lane. It is a fun environment for bowling and a bit different then other places we have been.
The kids enjoyed a couple of pizzas and some sodas as well without any complaints. They also certainly enjoyed having to get their balls out of the alligator’s mouth.
The don’t take reservations and we were second in line when we arrived ten minutes before opening. The place was full almost immediately after opening so you may have to wait for a lane.
Overall the experience was great. Our suggestions to the owners would be to explore a few additional non-fried items on the menu and it would be helpful to have a little more attentiveness from the servers. The service was good, but we might have ordered a bit more food if asked.
It's a very cool place...fun for all ages. My teenager had me try alligator for the first time...very tasty!👍The staff seemed a bit overwhelmed (hince the 4 star rating), but once our server came over, she was great! I recommend using Groupon & going during happy hour 😉
No detail has gone untouched in the décor. Truly an experience to behold. Such a fun place to bowl! Lanes are in great condition, great tech, electronically controlled gutter bumpers for just the bowlers you select in your group, lots of balls with good guidance to choose from, and good quality clean shoes. It is a little pricey, but for a special outing, definitely worth a little extra. They are running a tight ship. We were a little underwhelmed by the seafood and restaurant service, but they got the job done and the restaurant experience overall was good. I'd go back and stick to bowling and pizza any day!
Cool atmosphere for bowling just like being in the ocean, nice setting. Food is average, service was attentive. Fun experience in the springs, you got to try it at least once.
This is a super fun place to go bowling, especially with kids. It's a clean, safe environment with an underwater shipwreck theme inside. They have a restaurant and private rooms for parties. You can order food and drinks to have near your bowling area including pitchers of soda or beer. It can get busy at night and on the weekends to get there early to prevent a long wait.

We visited Uncle Buck's on a Saturday afternoon. It wasn't very busy for a Saturday, and the atmosphere was nice. They have approximately 6 lanes of bowling and an arcade. The food was decent. We split the crab stuffed mushrooms and clam chowder. Both were good, but needed just a tiny kick of flavor. A dash of Tabsco helped both. The service was great,and everyone was super kind. I found the prices more reasonable than I expected. We'll be back with the kids
Great place for food, a party, and/or bowling. The workers and the manager Derrick are SUPER AWESOME! Never thought I would find the best customer service at a bowling alley. The food at their restaurant is also epic and they even have alligator!!!
So, it turns out that the "bowl" in "fish bowl" is because the restaurant is also a bowling alley. Oh puns, you got me again. That aside, the food was good. I recommend the alligator tacos. The saltiness of the alligator and the sweetness of... Well, I don't know was making it sweet, but was awesome. I can't comment on the service, however. Not that it was bad or anything. We sat down and ordered but then had to get it to go due to an emergency. I would definitely go back.
This is not just a restaurant, it is a bowling alley and arcade too. It would be a great place for a birthday party! The scenery is very imaginative. Have a child who likes mermaids or pirates?? This would give them tons to talk about. Would recommend for a family outing.
The food was actually really good. We we're a little worried because we were the only ones eating there at the time. We each had the all you can eat fried shrimp for $9.99. The tables we're dirty but not covered in food or trash. They are dirty because all the do is sanitize the tables instead of using soap which would get off the built up grease and grime.
