Visited twice in the past two weeks... its nice as long as you like playing half a game and having the lane shut down as a ball is rolling down the lane. Kids really do not like the idea by the way. Plus all of the balls have a greasy film all over them that smells like WD40... probably disinfectant. Seems like a bad business model for guests to me.

Went on a bowling night out with friends and we had the best waiter name Oscar with a k lol he totally took his time with us ordering specials drinks until it was time to order food while waiting on our lane to be ready after waiting at the bar for hr. This place overall customer service was awesome. I wish I could tip him more!

Would be 5 stars, but they hiked up their happy hour menu. I was a big fan, now I just don't go in as often. Bowling is a little overpriced too.

This is a great one stop entertainment shop. There are lots of bowling lanes, an extensive arcade, laser tag, and a large menu. The place is clean, with minimal visual distractions (You know how some bowling places have obnoxious screens and videos playing the whole time? Kingpins is NOT that type of place.)
There are lots of staff who are friendly and take their jobs seriously.

TL;DR: Meh. Staff is wonderful, arcade is meh. Maybe try the whole experience and it'll be a lot better.
Went here to kill an hour before the ball dropped! I want to be clear that the staff did the absolute best they could with the crowd and chaos. They were all friendly and helpful. I also only hung out at the arcade, so grain of salt as I don't have any experience with their bowling or restaurant.
I've been to other kingpin locations before and really enjoyed it! I thought this would be the same but, not so much. They are absolutely not equipped to handle large crowds. More

The place was packed and people didn't wear their masks for most of our stay there. The team helped us move to a less crowded lane, but could enforce mask and Covid protocols better.
