   For last minute celebrations the availability was perfect, the service was consistent. Would have like to have more clear communication with hostess.

   We came to celebrate galentines and the host and our waitress were absolutely amazing! We brought a cake, they offered to refrigerate it for us, our food came quick and all of our needs addressed within a timely manner. Great experience! Will come back again :)

   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.
