Reviews of Alley's Classic American Diner and Bowl (Bowling Alley)

Marvco LLC

It might seem strange to have a restaurant with a bowling alley, but it makes for a nice atmosphere. The food was fresh and tasty. The service was good.

Doug Cryer

Great food, great prices, great wait staff (Kelsey D) and NO waiting for a table. Ate breakfast one morning and dinner another night. Go there. You won't be disappointed.

Andrew Warner

Great food. Only eight lanes of bowling but the atmosphere was enjoyable.

Joseph Gallant

My husband loves breakfast and this place is by far the BEST place we have been too. A must try is the stuffed french toast and their hashbrowns! Both the General Manager and Chef came out to speak with us. You need to try this place.

I bit more pricey than i expected but turned out to be great food. The bowling alley/restaurant concept is cool too!

Jacob Freida

I had the pulled pork burger. There was little to no sauce on the extremely small amount of pulled pork that topped the burger. This made for a disappointing lunch. Their battered fries and amazing Mac and cheese were their only redeeming quality. The atmosphere in the dining area was very nice and we loved the fresh flowers.

Andrea Rosales

John Cannarsa

I've had so many memorable good times at Alley's over the years! First the place is immaculate, well designed, welcoming, and definitely not your typical bowling alley. The owners are hands on, and really strive to try new things, and continuously improve. I recently had lunch there and the spinach salad with chicken was excellent. The menu is extensive, and there's definitely something for everyone. The beer is nice and cold the way it should be! If you get lucky "Sister Mary Margaret" will be your server, and she's sure to make you smile.

The restaurant was busy. I felt short staffed. Waited to order, waited to get drinks, and waited to get food. I felt the food was ok, but very disappointed in the service. My 7 year old daughter did not like her mac & cheese. I asked to have it removed. When the bill came it was not removed. I went up to another waitress and the owner stepped in. He said to me, this is our best seller that is bull S&*t, you just want a discount after the meal was over. I could care less about the $3 side order and took it out of the waitress's tip for never checking on us.

Stopped in for lunch while passing through on a Jeep excursion with 4 of my kids. The food was great and the server, Adam, was super nice.

Connie Leturno

What a fun surprise. Great food and service. It has a separate dinning area, but you are welcome to go bowl a few frames as well. A great time!

Jane Rios

Great food great service in or outside dining

Nathaniel Fryar

Great food good times

Jesse Jimenez

I've been a few times and food was usually good. This I decided to try something different so asked the waitress about a couple of dishes and her answer was that the dishes were great but no. She should able to make a honest recommendation. Somewhat disappointed

Michelle Williams

Awesome!!!

Colby Senters

Fun time but over priced

Louise Archambeau

Gene Ramos

Fun quaint and good food and drinks. We will definitely be back.

Douglas Erickson

Fun place to hang out on a cold or rainy day to bowl. Food is decent, especially breakfast.

Gusto Gustafson

Funny to be had , good food , slightly costly

Deb Conley

Had the Roast Pork, mashed & gravy! Delicious. If the weather isn't cooperating, you can bowl while you eat. Bonus!!!!

Martin Oliver

Nice friendly place

Jon Nixon

50 min wait for an order of chicken strips, wings, and a bowl of soup. Was given no silverware or napkins. Was told after 35 mins that they were out of the Mac n cheese my daughter ordered.

Joe Wroble

Great little 8 lane bowling alley and restaurant to bring the kids or a quaint meal and drinks. We shared some appetizers, and you definitely have to try the inside out tamales!

Joe Wakar

Top notch experience. Lizzo was playing when we came in, service was quick and friendly too! Outdoor seating was great just off the quiet road. Id recommend the fries over mashed potatoes, they were crispy battered and delicious. The jumbo shrimp basket was incredible, with a zippy homemade cocktail sauce to boot. Also, paper straws! Great experience here.

Sarah Whitmer

We had a larger group... some orders were received incomplete and had to keep reminding waitress about things... food was good once everyone got what they ordered.

Cindy Beckman

Good atmosphere, but we left because service was super slow.

Andre Martinez

The service is not good at all, at least it was the night we were there. They had 1 bartender on a Friday night. The wait staff was worse. It seemed like they only had two waiters who were completely overwhelmed

Kathleen Wilson

Great atmosphere. Staff was friendly. Corned beef was excellent. Nice covered patio for dining.

Joe Wisniewski

Six Lanes. I didn't expect it to be bowling but it is. Excellent food.

Nancy Nelms

Enjoyed a lovely lunch with my husband and a dear friend. I looked at the whole menu and ended up with a meatloaf again. The meatloaf was a little bland but the potatoes were great so I was happy. My husband was disappointed in his clam chowder, as it was very thin & lacking clams. He also thought that his burger seemed to be a pre-formed, formerly frozen patty, with little flavor & that the Bleu cheese was a dressing, not actual cheese. Our friend got the reuben sandwich and it was gone so we were happy. This experience was unusual because we've had wonderful luck in the past. We will absolutely be back because it's one of our favorite spots in Douglas.

The bowling alley needs some work. Ball return hardly ever returned our balls. No one willing to work in the back to resolve the problem

Rachel Colingsworth

Nice place.

Rod McCrea

This place is great. Good food (and half price apps on Monday!) and fun bowling. Staff is very friendly and they have a nice outdoor patio as well. For the price it's a really good place to eat!

Larry Hosley

Good food and service, prices are not to bad either. Friendly!!!

Jacqueline Cunningham

kim herrick

Needed something simple after a long day at the beach. Stopped here and debated on going in. It didn't really look open and the outside of the building was odd. But decided to give it a go. Glad we did. The dinning room was cute and the food was really good! Didn't seem to have kids meals so did a little sharing. Highly recommend the coleslaw and pulled pork anything. Even their side salad was excellent! Don't be turned away by its of appearance. Food was great!

Linda Collins

Brought me wrong Hamburg. Couldn't get attention of waitress..we were done by the time i got my burger fixed... I was sad

Alisha Fernandez

Bowling is greatly priced. Drinks were great but a bit on the hire price. Will for sure go back to bowl again

David Molenaar

A fun place to go

Dale Roberts

Great place good food nice people.

Angie Roberts

Bowling was good, service was horrible. The man at the bowling counter was very nice, but the waitress seemed indifferent and never returned to our table after bringing our food. The chicken tenders were inedible, and when my husband asked the waitress to remove them from the bill, she agreed, but only because, as she said, “I don’t want to argue with you.” That is no way to treat a customer.

Linda Williams

Great spot for fun bowling. Food was awesome and Nathan the chef was super nice to my special needs nephew.

Nathan Jacobs

Spectacular food. The chef is on point. .very good Cuban sandwich.

colleen zielinski
