Well, let's see... had someone elses kid run in front of us and bowl our very first game... had something stolen from our daughter and was told "awe, I'm sorry" and one of the workers was obviously in a bad mood and little rude and this was my very first time ever bowling there. No, will not bowl there again.

The worst experience I've ever had at a bowling alley in my life. Me and my family decided while on vacation, to the small town of bull shoals, to visit my parents. We thought that maybe we could go bowling one evening. Seemed like a fun night out with my family and my brothers family. At least that's what we thought. Upon entering the facility, there was only 1 bartender who acted as the waitress, bartender, and cashier at the register for paying to bowl. The process of getting the shoes was annoying to say the least considering, she seemed over worked and completely annoyed that we were there and that she had more people to deal with. Mind you, there were only about 10 people total in the entire restaurant/bowling alley at this point. Not exactly a packed house. And believe me, I'm about as passive as it comes, and understanding when it gets busy. But I truly believe her rudeness was unwarranted. As I was first up in our 4 person adult group on lane 2 with our children on lane 1, I noticed that the flooring before the line, had no SLIDE to it AT ALL. I tripped forward and almost fell over on my first frame. Thinking it might have just been my balance, I didnt pay it as much attention as I should have. This I would soon find as the biggest mistake of our vacation. As my wife got up to bowl her first frame, the same thing happened to her, however, as she tripped forward due to the entirely too grippy flooring, she was unable to stop her momentum by stepping forward with her right foot, to which she landed on the lane over the line. She then slipped and fell backwards landing on her butt, and trying to brace her fall with her wrist. As I heard the scream of my wife, i ran up to her to realize she had broken her wrist. At this point I yelled to the staff to call the fire department, I realized that my brother was the one who made the call. As a volunteer emergency responder at my job back in Texas, I understand that critical moments can cause people to freak out pretty easily. The waitress/bartender brought a towel with ice over to help and apologized. I went to the register to pay my tab or figure out what to do, she wanted to know what I wanted to do. 911 called back on the facilities land line and wanted to speak to me due to losing signal on my brothers cell. She asked me again rudely what i wanted to do because she was the only one there and had a table she was waiting on as well. Stop traffic.......excuse me....what did she say. Ya. That's right. My wife isn't 20 feet away with a compound fracture and her arm looking like it got hit by an NFL player, while crying out loud and trying not pass out, and your worried about settling a bill of a game, that none of us got through our first FRAME, all so you can get the meal order taken by the people sitting at the table 5 feet to the right of my wife. Are you f....ing kidding me? Unbelievable. The ambulance came, my wife went to the hospital, which we spent the better part of the evening in the ER, only to cancel the rest of our vacation scheduled for Branson Missouri due the fact she needed surgery. I was charged 14 dollars for my son to bowl one frame. I managed to talk her out of charging me and my wife. But my brother paid 33 dollars to play. Ya. Our first frame wasnt even through and we were charged. No contact info was taken by them at all. The owner never attempted a phone call to us to offer us condolences or nothing. As a small BBQ business owner, you best believe that if someone got hurt in my facility, I would do everything in my power to make it better. They did nothing of the sort. We will never step foot in the place again. Which sucks, because I heard the food was really good, and the reviews made it seem pretty cool.

Brought our 2 Grandsons here, they played the ski ball, etc. games and bowled. They had fun. They even bowled a couple games, had a great time and we all got the chicken quesadillas which were Really Good. Yes a great place to come for some good food and fun. Easy parking, fast friendly service. Reasonably priced!

Edith Ann Gross

This is family outing place great fun can't wait to go eat at the restaurant

Michael Stephens

We took our kids and friend to go bowling, well our visit started out good, great food and reasonable price. But we could not even finish the games. A group came in and started playing extremely vulgar and sexist music on the juke box, I asked the young lady working if she could turn it off because of the young girls we had with us, she told me no because someone paid for it. I do not care if someone paid for a few songs, we paid for bowling, games, and food. This absolutely disgusting music should not even be playable in a so-called family establishment.

Colette Sheward

Ragnar Finland

Best bar tenders in the world. A little pricey on the food but it's very good. One of my hang outs.

Fate Clips

This is the worst bowing alley I gave been at in this state. Have been in one that was worse in Oregon once, they closed it.

Jewel Delcastillo

We had so much fun! My grandma wasn't kidding when she said they had the best burgers in town! The eating area and bowling area are separate, but the open and clean atmosphere brings the fun of watching bowlers and dinner together. We had some kids cheering us on!

Phyllis Weaver

Went there for the food not bowling which the food was great, however watching some kids bowl I noticed that the lanes really needed to be refinished as it is an older bowling alley that really had seen better days.

Ivinson Family

Visiting from St. Louis and had a big table of about 20.. servers were so friendly and the food was amazing! We loved the friendly atmosphere and again the servers did such a great job. Way to go girls!!

Tina White

Awesome staff, great customer service, wood lanes. Warm, fun, inviting atmosphere. Shares a kitchen with the fabulous 178 Club!

Kim R

Love it! Great people and great food! It is nice to have a nice casual place to have a drink with a younger crowd. It gets busy on the weekends but it's good to see some activity. Would recommend this place! But if you like a much more cozy atmosphere, then next door is just the spot for you!

Lanes need work definitely

Moria Bailey

Although I have always loved to bowl, I will probably never go again after my visit to Bull Shoals Lanes June 11, 2019. We stated our evening trying to get the only employee in the alley to get us shoes. Between restaurant, bar and lane customers, she was very busy. When I stepped up to bowl, it was the moment that changed my vacation for the worst. The lanes were not well kept and my bowling shoes didn't slide like they should, they got caught and caused me to launch forward. My right foot came forward and I desperately tried to stop myself before I crossed it, but unfortunately I couldn't. I slipped and the lane and fell backwards, bracing myself with my right hand. This caused a radical fracture, only able to be corrected through surgery. My problem with the bowling alley, not simply the lack of proper upkeep, no one has attempted to contact me at all! There was no incident report filed or personal Information gathered. I also found out we PAID for the whole thing! A total of 8 or less balls were thrown on 2 lanes!! I understand this is a very small community and I am SHOCKED the owner hasn't tried to find out who we were and at least extend some sort of sympathy. NEVER again will we be back,and sadly, will probably never go bowling again.
