I'm not a huge fan of this place or these types of places. It's an all in one stop for your entertainment needs - comedy club, movie theater, bowling, bar with live music sometimes, casual dining, outside seating, sports bar, arcade for kids and adults. For me, the place is hit or miss. I either love it or hate it when I'm there. I know other cities that have one and they are a little better experience. Your experience may vary. The one thing I will say is the staff and management are excellent. They always try to accommodate your needs.

Latitude 30 is the Dave & Buster's for an even OLDER crowd. I went on a Saturday night, which I understand would be busy, and my group waited for a bowling lane. We were told an hour, which we spent playing games in the arcade area and drinking at the bar. The arcade workers were very helpful when we saw the basketball game had all of the balls stuck in the net, but we already swiped our card. Wait for drinks at the bar didn't take long, and I commend the fast bartending on a busy night. Bowling prices and drink prices are fair and affordable. However, after an hour passed, we checked the wait for our bowling lane and they said another 30 minutes. After asking again after that, it was another 30 minutes. We eventually got our lane well after 2 hours of waiting. The cover band on Saturday was absolutely HORRIBLE. There was a $5 cover charge that I would've gladly doubled, no TRIPLED, so the band would NOT play any more. I'm not sure if they play there often, but Latitude 30 would be better off just playing a radio station. Our waiter on our bowling lane was terrible. He often favored talking to pretty women rather than taking our orders. Most of the time, I just walked up to him at the server area and told him what I wanted. This is just a comment on that particular waiter though. There's a lot of entertainment variety in one building, and it's open late. It's a good place to go with a group of friends, but be prepared to spend a good amount of time waiting.

For lunch it's great. I feel I get the appropriate tasting food for the price. I came with a group of 8 and for whatever reason in a pretty empty huge restaurant, there were no tables that would let us all sit together. No one offered to put some tables together or anything. I've been there for dinner twice and was very disappointed. The burger I had was super generic tasting. Not worth $12. Onion rings were blah. Burger King down the road was better at half the price and the fountain drinks weren't $3. Went to play a few games and realized there were a few that needed some work. One game's card slider thing was broken - literally on the ground still blinking. I watched an employee glance at it while walking by and did nothing. The wheel of Fortune touch screen was flaking out not letting you touch the letter you needed. The Skiball machine only had 2 balls. The basketball games net got jammed and I couldn't finish the game. The place just needs some maintenance. It's the little things like the dust accumulating on the ceiling and stray birthday balloons caught in the ceiling.

When Latitude 30 first opened, it reminded me of a grown up Dave & Busters. I was afraid children would be allowed to run amok, but much to my delight, that hasn't happened! Located on Philips Highway like a neon green beacon in the night sky, Lat 30 combines an arcade, bowling alley, comedy club, movie theater, bar, and restaurant into one. I've actually never been in the dining room, but have visited all the other activities. The arcade is small but has the usual suspects you'd expect in an arcade. This is where the kiddos hang out - until the curfew kicks in. Then it's people who've had a few too many and want to pretend they're a rock star on Guitar Hero. The bowling lanes are standard with comfy couches instead of hard plastic chairs. The lanes fill up fast, so get there early or make a reservation. They offer bowling specials certain nights, so make sure to check out the specials online. The comedy club is pretty comfy. I saw a show recently and really enjoyed the headliner. The room is also available to rent and a couple years ago I attended a private event there. It was pretty comfy and a large enough space that allowed a big group of stuffy corporate types to relax for the evening. The movie theater is set up like your living room. Couches and small tables to hold your snacks. The servers will deliver your food/drinks directly to your cushion. My only complaint is the couches are crazy wide. At 5'5", I have short legs and couldn't touch the ground if I was sitting all the way back. I ended up kind of sitting all curled up in a ball or cross legged like a pretzel - much like I do in my recliner at home. The main bar area has the usually high tops and stage for live music. The act changes weekly the floor in front of the stage become the dance floor on the weekends. It's a good time and you'll enjoy yourself if the band is good. There are no real walls inside Lat 30, so when the band is playing, you'll hear it in the dining room, the arcade, and the bowling alley. The movie theater and comedy show have good sound barriers I didn't hear the band until I exited. The menu is your standard bar food/American restaurant mix. The crab spinach dip is pretty good and I've ordered it a couple times. The pizza is nothing special. Drinks are standard - nothing spectacular but enjoyable. Parking can be a pain in the rear. It gets full very quickly and once the lot is full, I've been told to park across the street in the Avenues Mall lot and cross Philips Highway. Yeah, no thanks. I'd prefer to not chance getting hit by a car as I run across a 6 lane highway in the middle of the night. Also, they check IDs and will have a $5 cover after a certain time at night - maybe 9pm? Not positive on that. If you're arriving late, bring some cash and carpool. Seriously.

I have only been to Latitude 30 once and it was for a private event in the movie theater area, Cine Grill. The layout of the whole place is really nice. Definitely lots to do. The hostesses were very helpful. Knowing it was my first time, they gave me a mini tour, told us about certain specials and the different areas. Then they took me back to where the event was being held. The theater is nice, seats are very comfortable. A plus is that you can eat while watching a movie. They have servers there to serve you throughout the movie. They also have great "happy hour" specials. I plan to go back and actually bowl next time!

I have had good experiences here in the past, otherwise this would have only been one star. We took my daughter and some of her friends for some bowling, games and a movie. Let's start with the movie. I should have brought a cardboard box to rip apart and eat, because that would have been better and cheaper than the popcorn they sell. In all fairness, they did take the popcorn off of our bill when we complained. To say that the service was slow would have been a gross understatement. Speaking of gross, the seats are DISGUSTING. I'm generally not a germaphobe, but I almost couldn't handle it. Definitely recommend long pants and lots of Purell if you intend to see a movie here. On to the bowling. When we started, there were exactly 3 lanes being used. Why then would they try to cram our party of 6 onto a lane next another party of 6? There were completely empty lanes all over the place. And since we're on the subject, how in bloody hell do you NOT have kids size 4 shoes when there are exactly 16 other bowlers, only 2 of whom could have worn that size? Then we went to the game room. Maybe they should spend some of their profits from the crappy popcorn on a game technician, as there were 8 games out of order. I was hoping that the guy in he ticket redemption room was out fixing them (since he was MIA the entire time we were there) but unfortunately not. Maybe we went on a bad day. We'll give them one more chance but it seems like this place is going downhill.

So we purchased tickets to the theater through Groupon, when we got there all the seats were reserved which was not mentioned on the Groupon ad that you might want to call and make reservations because our theatre is very small and it is still in the 80 ' s as far as sound and picture quality. So after that problem is solved they bring us more comfortable chairs which mine happened to be broken and had to be replaced. I then looked passed that and ordered drinks and food. And i wanted to get some popcorn cause we are at the movies. I was told they did not have a popcorn machine that worked so they said they were sorry but could not make popcorn. And as time went on and the movie started we had servers and food runners coming in and out of the theatre opening the door when a band was playing in the main area, which kept drowning out the sound of the movie this went on for over an hour. The meal I will say was good but the vibe in this place not good at all. I do not recommend this place the service and atmosphere way below par. When ipic comes to town this place will go out of business they do it right.

Tho the place is huge... it was over crowded. I found out getting two lanes is very pricey and the food as well. Food was good and the bartenders was nice and mean. Some don't acknowledge you are there and one snapped at a customer telling her if you didn't like it leave and go somewhere else. Oh yea finding parking was a pain. They closed off the top parking area for only valet parking.

Decided to try something new for drinks and appetizers with friends. It wasn't very crowded when we got there. The menu has a lot of different options, but it seems all over the place. I thought the food was very overpriced for what you got. The things we got didn't have much flavors. We got a whole bunch of things to share. For appetizers we got the nachos which were definitely not worth the price, we added steak and got a handful. Also got the spinach alfredo dip, didn't know this could be messed up since it's pretty basic. It just tasted like cream cheese, no spinach flavor. Also they added banana peppers, which I wasn't a fan of. The flatbread crisps that come with it were the best part. My fiance got the slider sampler, I've never seen smaller sliders, it was bite size. I know they are meant to be small, but I've gotten them other places and they've never been this size. Even though they were small, he said the buffalo chicken was the best one. I got the french dip which I thought was pretty good, I liked that it came on the pretzel roll. The drinks were a plus, we got a global drink, which is a big fishbowl. The service was okay, we were the only table in the section and she forgot to bring us our drinks. Overall I will probably not be coming back for the food, if I did it would be to check out the bowling.

**don't go without reservation for the movie or bowling. ** Tonight I waited 2 and half hours for a table in the restaurant. When I checked back with the hostess she said she must have copied my number wrong because she paged me. (They text you when your table is ready ) They only had two servers working the restaurant section. This was the second sign that I was not meant to give this place another chance. Previously I dined in the theater, one server waiting on a packed theater. Needless to say the condiments that were asked for never came, and forget drink refills. The main bathroom is always trashed and never maintained. You are better off walking to the bathroom past the theater since it's used less. Management needs to step it up a bit even waffle house has more servers available. The employees are very nice and friendly, kudos to them. Overall if you want to get drunk and bowl this place is for you. If you want to bring your family and get waited on in a timely fashion, go elsewhere!

Expensive food and drinks. Not worth my time. Never going again. Prices have gone up recently. Four drinks were $60. I didn't even pay that in New York or Miami last year.

My parents came here once before I moved to town and sang it's praises, but always told me it was really expensive, so I put off going there until I was really able to afford this lavish trip. Then I decided, what the hey and planned my first trip to Latitude 30 as a surprise birthday party for my awesome boyfriend. I didn't do the catered VIP type of thing, just a simple phone call-text-message to a few close friends and asked them to join me in celebrating his birthday with some bowling that I would pay for at least one game, some cake and some video games. So the time and place were set. Everyone who was going to come RSVP'd. It was a party, y'all. The drinks were strong. The beer was cold. The shots were poured and we had a party. Sure the drinks can get pricey if you like to drink a lot, but it is well worth it if you get a decent bartender. The bowling alley actually has their own wait staff, so if the kitchen is still open and you get the munchies you can get lane-side service as you're bowling with your friends! How cool is that?! Yes, that also includes all your drinks, too. So you get the same full service at the bowling lanes while having fun without the fuss of choosing one or the other! The chairs where you can lounge around with your friends as you bowl are made to look luxurious and they are still so comfortable. I have never been good at bowling so when I get a couple of gutter balls it's nice to sit somewhere comfortable to sulk in my sorrow. On one occasion we had an issue with the pins resetting each time we bowled, so we were given time to almost finish our original hour and then given a free hour at a new lane courtesy of the management. This was a top-notch deal and we were glad they allowed us to play another hour due to the technical difficulties. I haven't had any of the food there except for the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dream. That is one dessert to absolutely swoon for. It's almost a cookie loaf, brought to you in a small loaf dish, covered with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, a mint leaf and a strawberry. Chocolate sauce drizzled all over the plate and confection. The cookie was absolutely buttery and soft and just so so bad for my diet, but it was so worth the indulgent taste of the cold ice cream against the warm cookie... and the smooth whipped cream.... *drool* OK, I'm back sorry. But it was some good dessert and I tell, I implore you, to try it next time you're in there for any reason. The price is $6.99 and with tax and tip, that was definitely the most delicious and expensive dessert for $10 bucks you'll eat a bowling alley. I guess they have to make up for the cost of their fancy leather couches. Hah! All in all, definitely a great atmosphere for kids, adults and anyone in between. They have other features there, such as the arcade which could maybe use a few more games and definitely an upgrade on their DDR, but still fun for anyone who enjoys some video games. Check it out. Love it. Try the cookie. ;)

This place is the WORST place I've been in Jacksonville. I've just left the establishment 2 minutes ago after waiting an hour for service(which I never received, by the way)... I wouldn't recommend and I would never come back!!! BE WARE!!! I'm telling everyone!! Ugh! If I could get away with giving 0 stars I would!!

If you make a reservation from Yelp please keep in mind that they will not honor it for bowling or movies, just the restaurant. We found out the hard way :/ If the front desk ladies (hostesses) cared and talked to the customers like the manager does then this place would rock. I felt like I was leaning practically all over the counter trying to get their attention and they did their absolute best to avoid eye contact with me to answer my small question. I had to had another customer how to find out about movie times....and its laughable that he didn't know either. Eventually I went back to the front and yelled EXCUSE ME which finally got her to look at me. Ps...she said go to their website. She only knew what was playing for that day. They did do something right and sent the manager over to me. He was awesome and I can tell he really cares about this place and his customers. He apologized for the reservation mix up and gave my family some comps which helped us have a good time regardless. We didn't get to experience anything except the game cards the manager gave us. It seems like a crazy amount of time (3 hours) to wait for bowling...and I'm not too thrilled on how expensive bowling was either.

1/2 priced apps 4-7 I think....Asian lettuce wrap! So good ...tasty and light but filling. I've been back here several times for various events (college football, movies etc) and for just hanging out doing the wireless workity thing. It's a great venue made even better by a quality staff. I got a chance to to talk with a Latitude partner in training... soon to be opening one in Indianapolis and I was very impressed with his perspective of the company's concept. I'm an old original Knoxville Ruby Tuesday's guy and I've worked a fair share of original restaurant concepts back in the day that didn't grow so well and some that did (Grady's / Regas Grill, Chili's, Fridays, Outback). It's a tough industry to expand a restaurant, entertainment venue like Latutude 30 but I hope they succeed cuz it really is a special place. This location in Jax across from Avenues mall is the original Latitude 30. I think that may be a big part of why I've had consistently good outings here. Most concepts are strongest at the point of origin. Take advantage of it Jacksonville. It's a special place because it is an original location. Most will enjoy the food. It's fairly creative and I've had good experience with the quality. I would prefer a higher end bourbon selection because that's my beverage of choice but I can live with what they have ...Maker's 46, Turkey 101 on the high end...ya not very tippy top shelf for the small batch / single barrel crowd :( but the overall experience and atmosphere is well worth slummin' down the whiskey palette. Oddly enough, even with all the glitz and glam decor, it's a comfortable neighborhood bar that is a good go to for daily happy hour relief too....just wish they'd stock a better bourbon *wha wha wha*...lol...YES I have mentioned it to the bar manager.... If you haven't been, go. Try all the venues. Talk with the staff and you will enjoy the experience.

Went here with some friends to enjoy a comedy show. While the atmosphere, bowling, venue, etc...deserve a solid 4, maybe a 4 1/2 stars... The food and service just flat out stunk.. Our waitress seemed overwhelmed. Took forever to get drinks. She forgot them twice. Forgot extra lemons three times. Then we ordered, that went seemless and food arrived in a fairly decent time. I got the Slider Sampler. They tasted like something microwavable I would give my 11-year-old. The Buffalo chicken dip was okay. Our friends got nachos which were enormous, but everything tasted cold and stale.. Guess it was an off night for them. Finally the waitress brought our bill and it was totally screwed up. Had to send it back twice to be charged correctly... All in all the night was okay, I mean we had fun at the comedy show and would probably go back for another. But next time maybe choose to eat before hand somewhere else.

Been to this place 3 times within a 30 day period and I must say it is awesome. Went with the family and we had a blast. The ambiance is cool, the atmosphere is hot, and the people looked to be having a great time. They have everything you could possibly want from dance floor, to comedy club, movie theater, bowling, billiards sports bar and dining area and arcade area. Great place. I will def' be going back

Been here a handful of times and I've never had a bad time. Arcade games, bowling, restaurant, bar food, and a bar. Lots of stuff to do for all ages. Similar to dave and busters, but I would rather go to Latitude 30 than D&Bs.

Had an amazing experience here for our first visit. Brian met us as the door walked us around gave us insight to their $25 a month membership. Great deal for everything you get. Everyone is nice here. We ordered pizza and pulled pork tacos and it was delicious. I'm sure this place prob gets busy on weekends it has a lot to offer. I enjoyed my experience here and we are coming back for sure!

This place was a blast! My work rented the whole facility for an evening. Dinner was better than I expected, BBQ ribs & mac and cheese were really really good and the rest was ok too. Most of my coworkers spent the night bowling, I personally played games like ski ball, danced in the main lounge and sang karaoke on the side stage. The Karaoke DJ was super nice, helpful in song selection, and even sang back up here & there. Horace in the games room was funny, helpful and entertaining. Watch out for his fake robotic spider though! I enjoy similar places, like Dave & Busters, but Latitude 30 seemed to have a more "adult friendly" feel with multiple and prominently placed bars and very few simple childish arcade games. Since I don't have kids, I would love to have one of these closer to where I live!

Went here for a date night with another couple. I heard that parking was a beast, if you didn't use their valet. But we had no problems finding a spot. I partly give that to the nascar driving skills of my honey! I was impressed by all of the neat things they offer once you get inside. I had no idea! There's a small game room, a bar type setting with TV's to watch the game and eat, another little bar like area where the band plays, you can dance there! Bowling with big white comfy couches, a movie theatre and the comedy club. Now that's a lot to offer in one place! We came for the comedy club. We were a little early because they ask that you get there no later than 7:30 for the 8:00 show. We wanted to eat dinner, so it worked out for us. There weren't a lot of people in there when we arrived, and our server did come right over. However, that is where the fast service ended! Seems like it took forever to get our drinks and all we ordered was a bucket of beer and an unsweet tea! I'm pretty sure two of the beers were gone before that unsweet tea arrived. Really!?! It's unsweet tea, not a long process to make. Oh and the lemons for that unsweet tea... well those suckers must have been in high demand because my honey had to chase her down to get them! Not once or twice but three times we waited on lemons! Poor Jane had to wait to enjoy her unsweet tea. Our food came out in a timely manner. We got the slider plate, and you can tell they were not fresh but previously frozen. I didn't care for them. We also got the chips and buffalo chicken dip, I loved the chips because they were salty! The dip was delicious to me as well, I don't think my honey thought so though. The other couple got a huge plate of nachos, and although I did not try em, they looked tasty! You know I couldn't pass up dessert.... I ordered the chocolate chip ice cream dream thing... it came out super fast and was gone super fast! That is a must try! YUMMO! The bills were all wrong and were sent back once or twice to correct. Our server had way too many tables to deal with which made service stink. The show started like 30 minutes late. Which wasn't too bad for us because we always have great conversation at the table with this couple. Mike and Jane get on YELP!!! There were three comedians, the first guy didn't have a chance, the crowd gave him hell. I kinda felt for him. The second guy was by far the best! Funny man right there. and the headliner guy, well... I was expecting big things from him because he has his own show on tv. Eh, not so funny to me. I had to force my laughs with him. All in all, the night was a fun time. And despite the crappy customer service, we will be back! oh and they gave us free movie tickets! so yeah... we will be back! hehehe

This place is amazing they have everything from video games to bowling. To a little movie theater to a sports bar. And I got a cajun shrimp po boy with onion rings. And they were the best onion rings I've ever had in my entire life. I recommend this place if you want a nice family time. Or you're taking your date out here to hang out. And it is good for watching UFC fights. The only thing I thought was bad is a four hour wait for the bowling. But that's because it's so cheap everyone wants to bowl here. So like I said if you're looking for a nice night out come in have some great food. And play some games. Hopefully this review helped you out on making your decision. Rather or not you want to come here or you just want to pass it up. Every for my first experience it was a 5 out of 5.

I just wanted to inform you that my experience was extremely disappointing. I guess I expected some sort of welcome and service or organization on staffs part to accommodate my guests. The mothers that were there who thought the bowling party was a wonderful idea and considered it for their next event surely changed their mind. Here's how it went. I arrived at 1:30 to make sure I was there to greet my invited guests. I spoke to the girls at the hostess stand who told me to go to the next counter and be helped there. There I was told I'd have to wait 20 minutes because I was early. My guests began to arrive and there we were standing in a group lost not knowing where we are to go or what we are to do. Not an offer to be seated ora welcome wait here while we set you up or anything. 1:45 I got frustrated and asked guys at the shoe counter what lanes my party would be on. They told me so I took my group over to the lanes where we asked a young man which lanes were 7 and 8 because we didn't see the numbers on the screens. He just looked at me blankly and I said "you don't know?" He said y'all are just going to have to give me a minute. At that point we realized we were standing at the right lanes and it was a disaster. The rude boy took his time cleaning it up and seemed quite annoyed we were in his way. I was pretty sure I'd read in you paperwork the lane would open 15 min prior to my party starting. Once the area was clean it was about 2 so we took it upon ourselves to get the kids shoes and begin bowling. Not one person was yet to greet us or offer us a beverage or anything. So at 2:15, I decided it was time to look for a manager as a parent who was hungry left with 2 of the kids I paid for To go get food since they hadn't had lunch. I was livid. I approached a man in a suit near the bar and asked if he was a manager and he said yes. I told him we had a party reservation and hadn't even been greeted yet. He said he'd find our server. About 2:30, a girl showed up apologizing and introduced herself and a girl named callie. Callie was fantastic but the other girl was never seen again. I must have walked past the manager 5 times during the time we were there and he never once said a word to me. All in all the children enjoyed themselves but the adults were quite appalled at the lack of customer service and friendliness or welcome from the staff upon our arrival. We weren't even acknowledged for the first hour we were there. Our party had been going on for a half hour before we met our hostesses one of which actually served us and I'm sure had to split her tip with the absent one. And a manager should have followed up with me after I complained or at least been somewhat apologetic to the fact that his staff had completely ignored us. Had I not already paid you $125 and had the kids not already gotten excited I would have left after the way the manager just said let me get your server and walked away. I would have taken my group and walked right out never to return. And never return is probably going to be what myself and the parents of 9 other children do because of it. I'd like to thank Callie for doing her best to recover the situation. I'd like to say to the rest of you this. 1 your hostesses are there to greet your guests and let them know what to expect. Not send you away confused and forget you. 2 your bussers and servers shouldn't act annoyed when the next party arrives as expected and they're behind on cleaning the area 3 your managers should make a customer feel welcome and ensure problems will be handled and be apologetic for his staffs errors and then follow up to ensure things are going smoothly afterwards. I'm still sitting here reeling at the $300 I spent and can't quite figure out how THAT was worth $300. I will share this experience with everyone I know.

Adult-friendly is an picture perfect word for Latitude 30, complete with not only a restaurant, bowling, FULL bar, and a comedy zone for those looking for a fun night our, or even the misses. This place is also home to many corporate office events that I've attended personally here at Wells Fargo. the staff is very professional and cheerful, i label success to any business that can properly entertain a group of well-statute corporate men/woman for hours on end because I had an absolute ball being able to partake in drinks and go right back to bowling, I will definitely be being my friends and family here for future events, as well as make suggestions when I go to visit other business with my line of work, a very spectacular experience incomparable with many. 5/5

Your better off going to Disney! I've only been here once and it's my last. I came here to go bowling with some friends and after looking at the prices, figured I was better off going to Disney. As the prices are about the same as what you would pay going there for 1 day. It wasnt just the bowling though but everything else was over priced. Maybe some other time.

When I first walked in here I thought, "wow, this place is small". But then I began walking around and realized there were other areas that you can't see when you first come in. I want to come back and check out their movie theater. A theater where you can order drinks while you watch? Yes, please!! We stayed mostly in the "sports bar" area and it was hopping until late. The food that went by our table all looked pretty good. I'm interested in checking out the food here as well as the movie theater.

Sorry Im from the north and Bowling with friends should never cost you more than 20 a couple shoes included. The bowling alleys in this city could really make some money if they stop letting this place monopolize on the Bowling Game. Beach bowl was good enough for me. I went here for a free comedy show this night. I won some tickets. The food was good but the darn comedian repeated the same jokes right behind each other bec she was reading them off her cell. How can you not know you just said something though... smh. I felt like I was the only one that noticed... these people were laughing twice.. I was looking like.. NO Lady..

Very cool place. Lots of things you can do besides bowling. They have a little arcade area, a comedy stage, a bar, delicious food, and a movie theatre soon to open. It reminds me of Bowlmor in Manhattan. "Upscale bowling" with big flat-screen TV's suspended over the lanes, gourmet style food instead of the regular ol greasy hamburgers and fries, ultra-comfy couches for sitting on instead of the standard plastic chairs, and bowling shoes in not-as-dorky colors. But keep in mind, improvements in quality come with higher prices. The best days to take the family are Mondays through Wednesdays. On Mondays after 5pm, they are $5 per person per game plus a shoe rental fee of $3 per person. (Before 5pm on Mondays through Friday, it's $4 per person, plus the shoe rental.) This came out to $8 per person for the first game and an additional $5 per person for the second game ($13 per person). I was paying for 4 total people, so the total was a little below $50. Wow. (Heads up, if you are in the military, you get a discount.) The rest of the week it gets hella expensive, ranging from $35 to $42 per lane per hour. Add that to the cost of food, which was about $60 or so between the 4 of us. Luckily, they have a special on that Monday. With each adult sized individual pizza, we got a FREE kid-sized individual pizza. Same for the drinks. Nice! And when we showed our receipt to the bowling desk before we left, we received 2 gift cards. I'm not sure how much was on them though. Still, that was pretty cool. As for the music? It wasn't as trendy as the mainstream stuff they played in Manhattan. Either that or Mondays are 80's night. Expect to hear Duran Duran, Modern English, etc. From what my niece said, Latitude 30 is where Toys R Us used to be. It's pretty roomy inside. Now all they need to do is throw in a nightclub and they're all set. I'd like to come back and see a comedy show.

The valet sucked. Outright. Sorry, but they were rude and need to understand that service starts with them. Oh well... We went in and had a server named Drew who was very knowledgable about the menu and on top of things. He was friendly and helpful and we loved him! The movie was fun. It was a little older but we had fun. Bowling was fun, too. I can't wait to check out the comedy club. I'm going to ask for Drew again when we go!

Decent food. Small game room. But they do have a lot of everything. Went there with the family. We were in the sports bar and ordered appetizers. Food was good. Our normal standard for events like this is D&B. D&B has a much larger game room. But that's about the only advantage they have over Latitude 30. Bowling, music and more are here. 3 stars due to the game room size. The kids got a little board after a while. But it is still a fun place to go to and they do have some good specials.

We had our team meeting here with dinner followed by bowling and pool. Great way to do team building. Our server was attentive to our needs, even as we split up into different parts of the area. I will admit, I grumbled when I found out our meeting was at a bowling alley but was pleasantly surprised. The place was not too loud or rowdy and there were several lanes with families. Definitely would go back.

Earlier this week, my friend took me to Latitude 30 for the first time. I would describe Latitude 30 as a glorified Dave and Busters. Parents can actually bring children here; however, at 10pm, they start checking your id. I guess that's when they expect young ones to skedaddle. There is a small arcade area, not as big as Dave and Busters though. You would need to create a card to play games. There is a bar at the heart of Latitude 30 and a dining area next to the bar. Notable features include: huge bowling lanes with sofa seating, a small movie theater, and a private stage area for performances. Latitude 30 is ideal for group meet-ups and birthday parties because it can accommodate for large groups and there are a variety of activities.

I love going here. Especially for the bowling and games. The food and drinks are pretty good as well. I've never watched a movie there but I hear some people swear by it. I wished though that on ladies night they would play music videos or something instead of sports.

Went on a Saturday night and celebrated my husbands 30th there. We had 10 people and everybody had fun. We played games in the arcade, pool and danced. A fun cool place. The bowling is over priced but it's a really cool looking alley.

So disappointed. We went here to relax and take our mind off a child in the jax hospital and it was such a bad idea. It started ok but got progressively worse with a rude waitress who seemed irritated by having to make orders correct and supply condiments for burgers. We asked to speak to manager that never appeared. I will never go back. Ever. We would have been happy with almost anything but the rude waitress with a massive attitude made it impossible to enjoy our time with our kids. I will never step foot in there again. We spent over $100 for attitude and disappointment. The atmosphere - minus the staff - was great. So disappointed. We needed to unwind and the girl was so rude and obnoxious. Never ever again. All so unnecessary.

Place was fancy for bowling. .. There were couple bars. Bloody marry was awesome. Food was over price. Nothing special on the menu. A waitress at the bowling area was nice. But the waitress at the restaurant side was sucks. She had couple of people she knows sitting in front of us and she seems to just brushing us off to go sit with them and chat. Took a long time for her to take our order and a long time to bring us food.

In summary, screaming kids, overpriced food with small portions, loud music, and the slowest service in the greater Jacksonville area. What's not to love? Everything! With so many options out there, don't eat here. And don't say "food should be out in a few minutes" more than once. 2 hours for lunch on a Monday.

Horrible parking, forcing use of valet. Everything is a wait. Empty tables but you have to wait. Then they split our group across multiple tables despite having a reservation and large enough tables being available. The food is terrible, low quality and overpriced. Basically everything here is overpriced.

Had a great time but service at the main bar by the bowling alley was horrible. My girlfriend and I got to the bar and were ignored for at least 10 minutes. The place was not crowded at all and the three bartenders passed by us multiple times and did not acknowledge us whatsoever. Needless to say the two drinks we got were very poorly made. I would only recommend this place if you had absolutely nothing else to do on a Sunday night.

I have been in Latitud 30 several times to play and eating there at least 4 times. The place is awesome but pricy; kids have fun but only for a few minutes because you could spend a fortune just in games. The food doesn't match the beautiful environment; in other words food was terrible and expensive. The scallops were tasteless and under cooked; the deeps taste like Tostitos sauces that you can buy at convenience stores, the baby back ribs were ok but you can get better ones at almost any other place. The band was very good and we had a very good time with the band's performance even thou the drinks were not excellent. My martini was poorly prepared and my wife's chocolate "martini" was ok. I would recommend Latitud 30 only to have fun with the games and shows if you can afford it but not for eating. The 2 stars rating is based on the eating experience.

Its a nice place. We went on a Saturday night the restaurant area was closed so it was hard to find seating by the bar. They had a live band playing they were ok I was happy when they put regular music on . Drink prices were good. Not so great bartenders. Sucks they all share the tips. I liked one girl but the others were awful.

Terrible food. Even worse service. The waiters openly admit that most food items aren't worth ordering from the menu - problem is, almost everything taste bad. The customer service people at the bowling counter did not have my reservation after I had put it in with someone else. They were very rude and didn't seem to care that me and my friends had to wait an additional hour. The only plus is the complimentary valet. The gameroom is very limited and is overpriced, as is everything else there. For the subpar quality, this place only gets visits because its the only game in town. Save your money and go to the movies.

All I can say is I wish they had something like this in Columbia, if they did, I would certainly be a regular! My cousin and his family live in Jacksonville, FL, and just over the past weekend I was down there visiting them. I took my 7 year old niece to Latitude 30 to catch a 12pm show of the Muppets movie. We got there half an hour early, with time to spare, we purchased a $5 card for the arcade room (aka "Game Room"), which I believe gives you about 50 points. There are also other value cards available depending on how much you want to do there. Instead of a handful of tokens, you use the card for each game, you insert it in the slot, and it deducts points from your card, and then lets you play. There are plenty of games to choose from and for us those 30 minutes flew by. The website is thorough and has a nice listing of games available, which are both adult and kid friendly. As for bowling, we did not bowl this time, but we did bowl the time before and as other yelpers have pointed it, it has an upscale feeling to it and is really nice. The seating is super soft and comfortable, and their menu is more sophisticated than typical burgers and fries at most bowling places (they still offer fries, but they do have other things to choose from as well!). Price to me was very reasonable considering the upkeep of the place. We had gone on a Friday morning and they asked $4 per person/per game, and $3 for the shoe rental. However they constantly have deals going on and if you're budget conscious I suggest checking out their website to find out when it's the most affordable for you to go. For example right now they're offering a deal on Monday nights for kids - they get to eat and play for free between 4 to 9pm. The best experience for me was our movie experience. We saw a matinee show of the Muppets movie in their Cinegrille theater, which is an intimate space that seats a 100. The screen is still large and is 25 x 11feet, so you do feel like you're in a theater, but you also feel like you're in a home entertainment room in a rich person's mansion. Each seat is plush and sooo amazingly comfortable. Each seat also has its own cup holder and eating tray. As soon as you sit down, staff great you with a smile and menus. After you order, food is brought out on gorgeous kitchenware and you're served eating utensils in cloth napkins! I couldn't believe we got all of this for only $5 movie tickets! Of course we had to pay for the food, but the experience was definitely something I would imagine a $15 ticket would cover, not $5! The best part was that the movie was good too, not just the experience! Latitude 30 is one of a kind and not only has an arcade, bowling alley, and movie theater, but there is also night entertainment where you can go dancing in their Axis Live Nightclub or catch a comedy show in their Latitude Live room. They also have an HD sports theater room for sports enthusiasts. It really does offer a bit of everything for everyone and is very well kept and the staff working there are nice and professional. Hopefully they'll do well and expand, I wouldn't mind seeing one open up in my neighborhood.

Bowling, dining, and video games. Plus there is a bar and movies too. This place has good prices, great staff, and lots of fun. Monday they have a kids special and they also have awesome birthday parties here. It was our first visit but we stayed for hours and we will come back for sure. My children loved it.

The two star rating is based on mainly food, service and drinks. This is my 3rd or 4th time here. Food: Bad. Over priced. Lacks taste. I ordered the calamari appetizer, a friend ordered the chicken flatbread and another ordered the southwestern rolls. The rolls were fine. The flat bread was bland and sloppily put together. It did not taste good. The calamari was super bland and the breading on it was soggy and did not seem like it should go on the calamari.$10 for the calamari and they tried to disguise the bowl it was sitting in to make it look like you're getting a lot of calamari, but I can see the bed of lettuce it was sitting on. Sneaky, sneaky! Service: First of all, they charge you $5 to get in. This was on a Saturday with a UFC fight that night in the sports area. On the email that I got about this night, it did not say anything about a charge at the door. They don't take cards so you have to go inside to use their atm machine that charges you $3. We stood around for a while looking for someone to seat us. The wait staff was too busy talking to each other at the register. When we asked one of them, they kinda shoo'ed us away, telling us to go find the hostess table on the other side of the restaurant. We went to some other waitresses and they said they're not the hostess table, but to go the other way. We spend a few minutes walking around looking for someone to just seat us. The waiter didn't know what the drink specials are. When asked, he said he will go get a book. When he came back, he forgot. He then found a drink book and gave it to us, still did not tell us if there was a drink special or promo going on. He didn't bring us any napkins or silverware. Drinks: Overpriced. Their specialty drinks are around $10 each.

I went in for a late lunch with my two boys and my parents. Very personable staff and a wide variety for kids and adults alike. We started off with an appetizer, crab dip, which was great but it came out after our entrees were served...apparently, our server did not put it in as an appetizer. As stated, my parents and my meal came out but the kids meals were no where to be found. We flagged down our server who managed to rustle them up in fast order. The kids ordered fruit as their side and they were both served French fries. Again, our server corrected this issue in a timely manner. We all enjoyed our food, pork taco's were great. In addition, a manager came down and apologized for the service issues. He comped the appetizer. Lots of after lunch activities for the kids. I am chalking up the issues to our server being new, would like to see new servers being shadowed....but the food was good and the atmosphere for the kids was great. We will be back.

Not bad. We only did the bowling but it was comfy and fun. Staff was very friendly. You can get the full bar options and bar menu while you bowl. I like the big, comfy leather couches that you can lounge in. Definitely more appealing than the chairs at the bowling alley! It was pretty equitable in price, too, since we weren't bowling on a weekend night. I did take a look at the game room, which didn't seem like much. Dave and Buster's has more variety and room. I think the real highlight of Latitude 30 is the bowling.

I came here last night around 11pm. We were going for a friends bday party and they were bowling. It was my first time there so I didn't know what to expect. We walked in after they checked our ids. We left the baby at home but I did see some kids in the place. I can only comment on the bowling because thats where I stayed for the most part. It was Thursday night and bowling, bowling shoes, beer and house wines are 2 bucks for the ladies. I asked about a vodka tonic and they said all they had that was 2 bucks were flavored vodka. Our server, who btw was freaking on top of her game, described as a gummy bear flavor. I passed and stuck with bud light. The couches were a nice touch . I've been to Lucky Strikes and Los Angeles. It was a like a step down from Lucky Strikes. I like the decor and ambiance and club feel at Lucky Strikes. Latitude 30 reminded me of cosmic bowling at the beaches back in the day. I don't know why. I did enjoy that the large screen tvs on the wall showing the basketball game. The dj? I didn't know there was one I thought it was 95.1 playing full blast without the commercials. Nothing special just your typical 95.1 music. Ok here comes my complaint..... The bathrooms...I took pics will post in a sec... The smell.... I just thought in an establishment like that the bathroom would be kept up and the smell.... Look I work in the Trauma ICU at Shands and I have experience some smells. So being it is my day off from that I don't enjoy it blasting it in my face when I open the door. My last trip to the bathroom I asked my friend "is the bathroom always like this?" She said no. One of our girlfriends earlier and even complained to the front about the girls bathrooms. I mean in my single ready to mingle party days at 130 am at the Ritz or Marks, or Plush the bathrooms are way better. Even Tsunamis Area 51 Atlantic had way better bathrooms. Who knows what was being thrown up or snorted in the stalls beside me while i peed. So if there girls bathroom was semi smell free and the toliet paper wasnt thrown everywhere and my pet peeve...there was fluid on the floor around the toliets. Come on drunk ladies we have a huge toliet to aim better! Than I probably would've given this place 5 stars just due to the fact that it seems like a cool place with everything in it. One stop shop. Oh well maybe they'll get it right next time.

Football team party was well accommodated. Very good food for kids and adults. However, watch your bill as the gratuity they kindly add is questionable. My service charge exceeded 21% ($113.00) but they could not tell me why.

Scheduled a company meeting with lunch in the conference room. Service was outstanding and food was a little above average. Space was good, but it's right beside arcade and music blared through the wall the entire room. This needs fixed for future company meetings here I think. Distracting for it to be a conference meeting room.

The food is typical Sysco food. Not bad though. Not bad. The drinks. Rrrrrumph. Have you ever had four people order different $10 alcoholic beverages and, upon arrival after a lengthy weight, you all realize you've been served sugar water? It happened to us. The first time in history I've seen an entire table send back their drinks. It is pretty damn embarrassing for everyone to have to pull some crap like this, but we had to. Luckily, the waitress said we weren't the first because they had a bartender in training. Little bartender dude, a tip: Vodka martini = Vodka + vermouth, not toilet water + Crystal Light The "bar" bar was slammed so the place is doing something right. I swear to God, there must be 50 people fit into this amoeba-shaped bar. Unfortunately, there were only 2 folks back there, and they looked stressed as hell. The beer tasted good though!

First time to visit, had an overall good time. Saw a 7pm movie, theatre seats were comfy, service and food were good. It was way too cold in theatre to the point of distraction from the movie because we were uncomfortable. All the employees were friendly, especially Corey in the video game room. He went over and above to make our experience memorable! :) We will probably return, looking forward to bowling when it's before 10pm so our 12 yr old will be allowed in. If they offered some coupons (like Dave & Busters) it would be a reason we would come back to play in the game room, otherwise, pretty expensive. We spent $20 playing probably 15 games. The no physical tickets issued isn't as fun but it's smart to save wasting all that paper and prevent the annoyance of machines running out of tickets a lot like at D&B.

Can be fun at times, however, the cons outweigh the pros most of the time. I have been here about 5 times and each time I have many problems. Only once did I go there and enjoy it, and it's when the place first opened and wasn't packed and everything was actually cheaper. Pros: -Nice bowling lanes, and servers serve you at the lane -Choice between bowling, arcade, restaurant, music, pool tables, sports room... many things to do there. -Can be a fun place to hang out with friends to just socialize. Now the bad parts... Cons: - Crazy prices for bowling. $42.00 an hour for 4 people. Two hours cost $104.00... save your money and hit up midnight bowling somewhere else for like $10-$15 per person. - Crazy prices for drinks. $7-10 for mixed drinks, and they cheat you. They are watered down and taste like crap. Pretty sure they are using bottom shelf stuff as well. My jack and coke did not taste like a usual Jack and Coke. I do have to say their beer prices aren't bad though. - Arcade machines are broken a lot. They seem like they are in working order, but when you swipe your card and it takes your credit, it magically stops working. This happened on 4 machines taking 37 credits total. And good luck asking the people at the arcade to get your credtis back, they treat you like you're trying to rip them off. - Service is a joke. Many of the employess there have snobby like attitudes and are sloooooooow. I mean I understand they have to put up with a lot of people that drink and act like idiots, but don't take that out on your other customers. We ordered drinks at the bowling alley and it took 25 minutes to just get the drinks. She came back three times in between then asking if everything is ok... each time I said "Still waiting on our drinks..." she would apologize and said the bar was backed up. Ok... then for one, why did you keep asking if everything was ok three different times... is your memory that bad? And two, we only ordered tap beer. How hard it is to get someone to fill a glass? - Food is over priced and flavorless. It tastes like they use all frozen premaid stuff and then toss it in a fryer, oven, or microwave. Seriously... the mojority of their food isn't any better than a frozen dinner. I do have to say though that I did like the nachos, but really, all you're doing there is throwing cheese and toppings on chips. -No pitchers. I have never been to a bowling lane that didn't serve pitchers of beer... - Lanes are way to greased. When I grab a bowling bowl and it almost slips out of my hand like a stick of warm butter... something isn't right. I can't bowl there at all. There is no potential for typical curve as the lanes do not grab at all. The only way you can hope of getting a strike is by bowling dead straight. I'm not a professional by any means, but I have always bowled with a curve and usually score between 150-200. In three games I bowled a 92,89, and 102. I know it may sound petty to most, but after spending $100+ on bowling, it's more frustrating than fun when you can't bowl like you normally do. - Parking is a joke. I have been here on almost every day of the week and each time you are fighting to find a spot. That or you can wait in line for 10+minutes for valet. They seem to have more spots blocked for valet than regular parking. Now granted all of these issues didn't happen in one visit, but over 4. I understand issues happen, but when there is issue after issue during multiple visits, it makes it difficult to trust them again to go back. This place has so much potential, but they seem to go the route of theme parks. They think their popularity gives them to right to treat customers as they wish, and charge insane amounts of money for services that aren't much better then a typical bowling alley or arcade. Maybe others like this place, but for me I won't be going back.

I go to bowl and to drink. It's nice and fancy in there. Definitely designed to look "higher class" compared to all of the other bowling alleys in Jacksonville. They have live bands that play pretty good music. The place is clean and fancy. They have nice bars that you expect to find at a club. Here's the thing. The prices are way too high for the drinks and the food. The food is only average quality at best, but they charge you like there food is something special. I guess you are paying for the atmosphere, but to me the food should atleast be decent, right? In any other restaurant, no matter how nice the atmosphere, if the food is only so-so but costs a lot, most people would stop going to that restaurant. The seats are nice in the alleys because they aren't actually seats. They are leather couches. They have a small coffee table in front of the couches, too. It's nice for eating your over-priced nachos on them and what not, but if you got a few people bowling, the table just gets in the way and everyone is just stepping over each other. Think movie theater when you're trying to go to the restroom and your somewhere in the middle of the row. Kind of a pain. The lanes are also priced higher than other lanes in Jacksonville. I'm no pro, but to me you can barely get any hook on this lanes. Maybe it's because I use the house bowling balls or something, but I cant get much of a curve on these lanes. This place, for me, was new and cool to go to at first. But after going few times, there are better bowling alleys to go to. MUCH BETTER. Did I forget to mention that they have a cover charge to get in when you go in the evening? Yeah, this bowling alley has a cover charge to get in during the evenings.

I attended a work Christmas party at Latitude 30 and was not that impressed. The bowling area was nice and modern but the buffet food was just like what one would get at Dave and Busters, nothing special. The arcade game room was lacking and there was not much room around the billiard tables. Nice idea, questionably executed.

Total waste . I ordered lunch Togo with some coworkers and when it arrived I was less than impressed for a $13 French dip . I was starving , however, so I dug in only to find a full sheet of deli wrap . I called the store only to be told the manager was busy . I left a message with my name and number , no return call . I called again later in the afternoon and again the next day since the managers would not return my calls. I finally got ahold of the bar manager Nathan who apologized and invited me down so he could make things right . Well , when I was able to get there the next day , no one knew anything about the issue including the MOD . The barkeeper offered me a beer because she felt bad about the whole thing and that was all that was offered . Now things happen and deli wrap is not really an issue except that it was in an overpriced poorly executed sandwich . The real issue is the management avoided the issue and offered no resolution . I cannot recommend this place and will never be back . If you do go and have a problem they won't care so lower your expectations now so as not to be disappointed.

Wow! A prime example of trying to do too much and not doing any of it right. Quickly...poor food runner didnt know what table food was ordered. Came to my table three times with food but i hadnt ordered any food, waitress took all our drinks from our table while we were on the dance floor, even tho she knew we were dancing. VJ is too self indulgent. Like most young vjs seem to think that people want to hear their poor attempt at being creative. I say just keepnthe music pumping and keep people dancing. Forget about trying to mix dissimilar music styles and trying to convince yourself that you are creative. People come to dance not listen to your experiments! 11pm and kids were on the dance floor in the bar area! Some may have thought thats cute but when is having kids in the bar dancing is it at all ok. Borderline illegal I think, plus its kinda weird dancing in a club next to 6yos. Brushetta was soggy. Servers carrying drings like they are in a truck stop or Dennys. Wasnt that busy when came in yet waited 15minutes before ever being acknowledged. I believe the mgr saw it and came to take our order...apologized for being short staffed. Not my concern. Entire staff ill trained, runners dont know table numbers, servers not axknowledging new guests, food ill prepared, vj self indulgent, kids at 11pm in a bar dancing, etc etc... Advice...train your staff, get vjs who believe in keeping people dancing, bar kids from bar area, understand food concepts, and perhaps just focus on doing one thing right and not try to appeal to everyone.

Latitude 360 is absolutely the worst place to take kids. We were invited my my daughters friends mother. She made reservations to watch a movie. When we walked into the theater to find our seats, I was completely appalled at the massive stains on the seats. We also ordered food...3 chicken finger plates and 3 drinks...my bill was almost $50. I couldn't eat the chicken as it was raw in the middle. We then went to the small arcade and I purchased a $10 card for my daughter to play games. It is such a rip-off. The amount of points to play a game is ridiculous, and you barely get any tickets after playing. This place is more for adults. I will never go back. I will try Dave & Busters

My team from work came to enjoy bonding time...about 10 nurses/support staff and our spouses and children. One good thing was one of our team members is a member so we didn't have to pay for our shoes. As with larger groups, coordination of start of game always takes time. We were a bit delayed and they cut our game off at the last frame. Really??? I didn't not understand what the hurry was. We all were buying food and were about to start drinking. There was nobody waiting for a lane as several lanes were open. The waiter closed our tab even without asking. I guess they did not want our business. It is sad when people who do not understand business run the business. Just imagine by allowing us to continue to play, we would have enjoyed ourselves and not feel ill about the place and as we continue to play. We just started drinking but we had to move to enjoy our cocktails at another place. I wasn't about to give this place more of my money after their poor customer service. One thing good was their food was good. I would not recommend this place for fun if they cut off your game just because you exceeded your time limit when several lanes are open for other customers to use especially if you're buying food and drinks. It is not they had to have personnel arrange our pins. As we left, we thanked the guy at the front desk who acted like he was so annoyed for being asked several times to extend our time just so we could finish our game and kept moving like we were wasting his time. Guys, if you want loyal patrons and generate more income for your business, I truly suggest rethinking your business practices and strategy. I don't expect this business to survive if they continue their current practice.

My sister and I came here for my birthday dinner. So this review is solely on the restaurant. The hostess seemed to be annoyed and rather rude, but we were seated right away. Our server was excellent, I had the lobster mac and cheese and my sister had some sort of steak, we also had a bangbang shrimp appetizer.... I think that's the name. The food was ok, but nothing for me to brag about. I had wine my sister had rum, she said her drink was strong, I only had one wine to choose from so that was that. I was not blown away and being that my initial greeting was full of rudeness and attitude I can think of several other places to spend an evening of celebration!

The Facility is very nice but everything is over priced. I ordered a globe and they gave me a cheap pitcher instead. I mean I paid 25$ for it at least you could have given me what was advertised. I called for the manager 3 times . They never came . I won't return . A lot of potential wasted.

I have came here several times but this was my first time coming on a Thursday. It was a lot of fun and very nice vibe. The band "Be Easy" plays there Thursday nights. Very talented band and plays GREAT music! The drinks were good. Shrimp was good. Very fun night. It wasn't too crowded but it was a nice crowd. My bartender was stephani she was really sweet and made great drinks!!

It's overpriced and unnecessarily busy. I appreciate what they tried to do for the city and its not a bad shot at doing a high end concept for what has been done to death as cheap and kitschy. The problem for me has always felt like there is just too much going on and none of it is quite great. Arcade games are fun, but do they need to be so expensive? Who wants to spend $1+ for something that lasts all of three minutes? The bar is alright, but it's $7+ for a cocktail that I'd get elsewhere for half of that. Bowling is great, but it's insanely overpriced and because there are so few lanes you are either waiting forever to get to bowl, and then when you do you are being watched like hawks by the people behind you who want their turn. The movie theaters are unnecessary as they are small and seriously who wants to go see a flick here where there is Tinseltown up Southside or the Regal just down the road not five minutes away? The restaurant's food is better than Dave and Buster's but again, it's so cramped and so loud that eating there is just miserable. Parking is a nightmare, and that's after they put in the structure next door. This place has a great concept, but had they built it in an area where they could have really stretched out and not been so cramped I'd have a higher opinion of it. If you get out of this joint under $50 you are lucky, and likely didn't do much. If you are ok with a crowd and with cramped spaces then you are fine. Me, I can't stand either.

This is a great place to spend a weekend evening. They have games for big kids, bowling, dancing, movies, comedy, and a really sucky restaurant. OK, so the restaurant isn't a reason to come (unless you like watching sports on many large TVs, which I don't). Other than that, it is a great place to hang out and be entertained.

I have been to Latitude 30 a number of times and can honestly say I have had a blast every time. The place is fun and there are a variety of things to do during a visit. For example, this Saturday some girlfriends and I enjoyed a comedy show and then headed to the bar area to enjoy cocktails and live music. A seriously good time. However, I can't say that I am a fan of the food. I have eaten here a few times and I have not been pleased either time. On a previous visit, a large group of us came for dinner and bowling. I ordered the salmon and it was way over cooked and dry. This last time we went, I was craving a burger and ordered the bacon cheeseburger (MED). Again, just not good. The burger was way over cooked with a bitter burnt-like taste. The onion rings were a winner, though. Latitude 30 is someplace I would visit over and over again to have fun, but not for dining.

This is a fun place to come, they have a assortment of cool stuff to do in here .....bowling, arcade game room( my little ones loved it in here and bonus it was not as packed as D&B) ,movie theater (with comfy seats and you can eat and drink in there) , full bar and restaurant (food just ok) , and a comedy club. Fun night out but watch out can get expensive.

Great place to hang out with the adults and party like your still kids. Chuck-e-cheese for adults. It has arcade games, indoor bowling, wonderful drinks, comedy club, and much more!

What a joke. I went to Latitudes, for the first time, on Sunday night. It was easy to see that becoming a member was the best deal, so I did. It was 5:00, so, before the $1 bowling stuff. The gal behind the counter told me which lane to go to, and when I got to it, I had to ask the people to move. Great, now we get to sit across from each other, at the same table. Turned out, their lane was broken, they were moved to a different lane. Turns out, a LOT of stuff is broken here, including several games in the arcade, which doesn't have many to start with. What's really broken is the service, which is what I tried to explain to the manager. I understood that I was getting the lane BY THE HOUR, which means it's going to shut off at the end of your time. What had not occurred to me, was that they were only going to let me stay in my lane for one hour. Remember, it's my first time here. They kicked me off the lane at the end of an hour. I was irate. I wanted it for two hours. No matter who I spoke to, even the "Operations Manager", they just wouldn't understand that it was THEM that caused the problem, by not explaining that upfront. It was my 14 year old sons birthday, we had friends with us, and we all had to quit bowling at the end of ONE hour? That doesn't even make sense. We left, THEY would not take care of us, no matter what I said, including "I want my membership voided". No service, nobody even comes back to see if you want a refill. Your kids will be disappointed when they see the arcade, and its redemption counter. I went with the intention of spending $300, I spent $50 and won't be back. I have no problem paying for an upscale experience, which is what they're selling. They just DO NOT DELIVER!

I was quick to judge Latitude 30 when it opened. I thought it was just going to be another version of Dave & Buster's ( yelp.com/biz/dave-and-bu… ). And while I was right - to a degree - it's so much more. While I've only been here twice - once for a private event in the theater, once to the comedy club - I won't be so quick to say no the next time it's suggested. On our most recent visit we were meeting up with some friends to watch a set in the comedy club. Limited bar food type menu, but full bar with decent drinks. We ordered some guacamole & chips to start, as I remembered it being quite good. And for my entree I went with the Boom Boom Shrimp Po'boy with fries. I should have opted for something different as my side. The fries were good, I just didn't need all those carbs. The po'boy sandwich was tasty and quite filling. In all honesty, I would have been fine with just the sandwich. We did join their Loyalty Club. While we haven't joined one of the 'paid' levels. We are debating it because with all the perks you get, it helps you plan your date nights for the month, that's for sure.

Im only basing this review off going on a saturday night for drinks and music. So dont take my review as a review for the place as a whole. Simple.. the main bar sucks. Yeah i know it can busy and things can get a little crazy but to walk past someone well a group of people for 25 mins and not even acknowledge them especially when all of us had money in hand to purchase over 300 dollars in drinks. I mean it honestly made no sense. Talk about sucky ass customer service. How about the hire less bar backs and hire more bar tenders. My review may change if and when i go back. I may even add onto it if i go there for anything other than drinks on a saturday night

A coworker told me about this place about a year or so ago and I had intended on going but never did. Then last Christmas my office had our christmas party here one afternoon for lunch. There were 3 other offices that had the same idea. The food at the restaurant was good and typical for that kind of place. We stopped in here last night to play in the arcade as we weren't ready to go home yet. It was Saturday night and it was REALLY loud in the place. I don't know that I would be able to bowl with all that noise. Or maybe I'm just old. LOL We had fun in the arcade. We're thinking about joining the paid loyalty program because you get your value back in games alone. I like the idea that you also get into all their movies for free as I LOVE going to the movies but it gets expensive to go often. This place reminded me of a place called Shenanigans we had in Texas except it doesn't have Laser Tag! If this place had laser tag it would be even more awesome!

Where do I even start?! This place has not figured out what exactly it is and what demographic of people it is marketing to. The food is NOT good and the drinks are SO pricey. It is definitely not worth the money. I spent $10 on a domestic beer draft (including 20% tip). Why would I ever come drink here? The cinegrille seats are comfy but you cannot hear very well with low sound quality and in addition to the loud servers talking to other people the entire time the movie is playing. (And no they don't even try to whisper) The arcade is catered for mostly kids and there are always at least 5-6 games "out of order". They have terrible and annoying music almost every time I've been there. Always old, unheard of bands. One was wearing afro wigs the entire time. What century are we in?? The staff NEVER knows anything and is never on the same page. I will get one answer from this staff member and another from that staff member. The staff clearly does not enjoy working there and that should tell you enough in itself. This place is headed for the dumps. It won't last long in Jax. A terribly managed business that's a waste of space on the southside of jax.

Bowling - Can easily get expensive. Nice lanes, shoes, comfortable couches to chill back and taunt your competition. And big screen TVs showing sports. If you order food or drinks you can have it severed to you on the lanes (at least on the couch areas.) Thursday's 7 to close is Ladies night $2 shoes, games, and drinks. Also bowling specials Sun - Thursday after 9. But the wait time can really suck sometimes. (B) Comedy - Nice comedy club that has extremely funny up and coming artist. Last person I saw was Eric Grady FOR FREE. Dude was 6'9 and historical. Join in their guest list group? and get free appetizer after so many visits and enters you in for future complimentary tickets. Service within the comedy club is hit and miss. Every time we order food and/or drinks and are with a large party someone is missed completely or given a wrong item. (B-) Food - Nothing really special with the food. What makes it worst is when you asked about the menu and the waiter/waitress says "Oh everything is good." Everyone orders something different and everyone says they should have ate somewhere else. Nothing really bad - but I can't see myself coming specifically for the food. Actually might be better to just grab something at Taco Bell. (C+) Drinks - Nice friendly bar staff that is willing to mix you anything you can image. Sit back at the blue lite bar or grab a seat with a globe drinks for the professional alcoholic. First one is more then 1/2 liquor. If you order more then one expect the amount of liquor to decrease. (This is what others have said) Or it could be your taste buds dying? I sipped my one ciroc and sprite all night since I was the DD. Pretty good happy hour so I had no complaints. (A-) Live Entertainment/Music - DJ's seems stuck in early 90's and before. (And not always the good parts.) Whoomp! There It Is, Here Comes the Hotstepper, Return of the Mack, Shoop (I'll here at least one of these songs - I'm okay with that) BUT I do anything to STOP them from playing I Like To Move It (Madagascar gutted that song - please throw it away), Gettin' Jiggy Wit It, The Wobble, or anything from Backstreet Boys, NSync, Britney Spears, or Cher. It would be nice if there was some music from THIS decade! Ditto with the live covers. Great musicians but just update the playlist. (B-) Movie Theater - Dinner & a movie brought to Jax. They normally have 2 or 3 new releases playing but the perk is being able to bring in a Blockbuster movie and hosting a movie night with friends. Get comfortable with a plated meal or order some appetizers and adult drinks that are delivered to your see. I dig the small movie theatre for that intimate movie going experience. (A-) There's also pool tables and arcade - but I've never checked it out. Be advised there is a dress code. I'm almost certain I've seen it posted somewhere but I didn't remember to take a pic ? I've seen people ask to remove hats and tuck in chains. But I've never seen anyone approached or thrown out for wearing uggs with shorts or asked to cover an exposed nipple. Oh and don't park at Taco Bell you will get towed.

Oh, where do I begin. The Cinegrill was a horrible experience. First we had to get into about where we sat and he tried to loud talk us about the situation. Secondly, the screen isn't in HD and the sound is very low. On top of that, they have a loud air conditioner that cuts your ability to hear in half. So you spend half your time straining to hear the movie. But....the seats are really plush and feel great. There...I said something nice, my mother will be proud.

Came here to play a few games and go bowling. Not the biggest selection of games, but had fun nonetheless. Bowling during peak hours I think was 45 a lane per hour which is a little pricey, but we went after 10 so it was 35 an hour which wasn't too bad. We had 3 frames left after our time was up and they let us finish out so kudos to the staff!

Went there last New Years eve. Was the worst Comedy show service was awful. They sat us a group of 4 with reservations in the back by the sound booth. Had to complain to get moved. Had a band stopped playing 30 minutes before midnight. Prices crazy for what you get. All teenagers working not a clue of customer service

Let's start with the food and drinks !!!! Great food, great portions, great fun ... The nachos, and pizza are out of this world good !! The drinks are really good, great pours and on point !!! Bowling, game room, the kids love it !!!! My only problem from giving 5 stars is its so crowded the wait for food and drinks can be a little long !!!

So, this most recent visit wasn't my first time to Latitude 360, but the first time I ate in the restaurant, bowled, and played in the arcade all in one trip. Each of those activities earned three stars in my opinion. Regarding the restaurant, 3 stars for food, 4 stars for price, 2 stars for service. I ordered the French dip sandwich, and my partner ordered the spicy pasta. Both were as good as expected for a restaurant in a place where the restaurant likely comes second to the activities of the establishment. The sandwich was a bit too salty for both of us, but other than that, was tasty. The fries were okay, not crispy enough, but not bad. The pasta was enjoyable, a little too spicy--but you can't complain when you order a dish that is described as spicy. Each of our meals were a little over $10, so priced appropriately in my opinion. Service, unfortunately, was really, really slow. Our server was very nice, but it just didn't make up for how slow she was, or the fact that she forgot my drink, and then ended up bringing it AFTER the food was finished and cleared away (even though I said to not worry about bringing it at that point). Not a major complaint, more just, "really?!" Arcade was okay. I definitely feel like it should be bigger and have a better variety of games. Also, some of them just aren't in perfect working order. For instance, deflated basketballs, faulty steering wheels...that sort of thing. We played while waiting for $1 bowling games, so it was just to bide time. Regarding Sunday night $1 bowling. It's stressful in my opinion. We've heard about this deal in the past, but that the place gets packed, so we had never done it before. Nonetheless, we felt like bowling on this Sunday, and we haven't found any other bowling alleys in the area that aren't divey and outdated, so we figured we would give Latitude 360 a try. Around 6:40 we got on line for $1 bowling (after putting our name on a waitlist earlier when we sat down for dinner at 5:00). There were already tons of people doing the same, and all of the lanes already filled. We ended up getting a lane shortly after 7:00 since we had been there since 5:00. It cost us less than $10 for 2 people to play 4 games each and rent shoes. Not a bad deal at all! I will say, though, that the lanes feel really narrow. The couches and set-up are pretty nice, and being able to order drinks and food at the lane is cool too. For all the stress of $1 bowling on Sunday nights though I'm not sure if I would do it again, unless I'm willing to come super early once more. Overall, Latitude 360 could definitely exceed expectations, but it does okay at meeting them.

I'm not a huge fan of this place or these types of places. It's an all in one stop for your entertainment needs - comedy club, movie theater, bowling, bar with live music sometimes, casual dining, outside seating, sports bar, arcade for kids and adults. For me, the place is hit or miss. I either love it or hate it when I'm there. I know other cities that have one and they are a little better experience. Your experience may vary. The one thing I will say is the staff and management are excellent. They always try to accommodate your needs.

Latitude 30 is the Dave & Buster's for an even OLDER crowd. I went on a Saturday night, which I understand would be busy, and my group waited for a bowling lane. We were told an hour, which we spent playing games in the arcade area and drinking at the bar. The arcade workers were very helpful when we saw the basketball game had all of the balls stuck in the net, but we already swiped our card. Wait for drinks at the bar didn't take long, and I commend the fast bartending on a busy night. Bowling prices and drink prices are fair and affordable. However, after an hour passed, we checked the wait for our bowling lane and they said another 30 minutes. After asking again after that, it was another 30 minutes. We eventually got our lane well after 2 hours of waiting. The cover band on Saturday was absolutely HORRIBLE. There was a $5 cover charge that I would've gladly doubled, no TRIPLED, so the band would NOT play any more. I'm not sure if they play there often, but Latitude 30 would be better off just playing a radio station. Our waiter on our bowling lane was terrible. He often favored talking to pretty women rather than taking our orders. Most of the time, I just walked up to him at the server area and told him what I wanted. This is just a comment on that particular waiter though. There's a lot of entertainment variety in one building, and it's open late. It's a good place to go with a group of friends, but be prepared to spend a good amount of time waiting.

For lunch it's great. I feel I get the appropriate tasting food for the price. I came with a group of 8 and for whatever reason in a pretty empty huge restaurant, there were no tables that would let us all sit together. No one offered to put some tables together or anything. I've been there for dinner twice and was very disappointed. The burger I had was super generic tasting. Not worth $12. Onion rings were blah. Burger King down the road was better at half the price and the fountain drinks weren't $3. Went to play a few games and realized there were a few that needed some work. One game's card slider thing was broken - literally on the ground still blinking. I watched an employee glance at it while walking by and did nothing. The wheel of Fortune touch screen was flaking out not letting you touch the letter you needed. The Skiball machine only had 2 balls. The basketball games net got jammed and I couldn't finish the game. The place just needs some maintenance. It's the little things like the dust accumulating on the ceiling and stray birthday balloons caught in the ceiling.

When Latitude 30 first opened, it reminded me of a grown up Dave & Busters. I was afraid children would be allowed to run amok, but much to my delight, that hasn't happened! Located on Philips Highway like a neon green beacon in the night sky, Lat 30 combines an arcade, bowling alley, comedy club, movie theater, bar, and restaurant into one. I've actually never been in the dining room, but have visited all the other activities. The arcade is small but has the usual suspects you'd expect in an arcade. This is where the kiddos hang out - until the curfew kicks in. Then it's people who've had a few too many and want to pretend they're a rock star on Guitar Hero. The bowling lanes are standard with comfy couches instead of hard plastic chairs. The lanes fill up fast, so get there early or make a reservation. They offer bowling specials certain nights, so make sure to check out the specials online. The comedy club is pretty comfy. I saw a show recently and really enjoyed the headliner. The room is also available to rent and a couple years ago I attended a private event there. It was pretty comfy and a large enough space that allowed a big group of stuffy corporate types to relax for the evening. The movie theater is set up like your living room. Couches and small tables to hold your snacks. The servers will deliver your food/drinks directly to your cushion. My only complaint is the couches are crazy wide. At 5'5", I have short legs and couldn't touch the ground if I was sitting all the way back. I ended up kind of sitting all curled up in a ball or cross legged like a pretzel - much like I do in my recliner at home. The main bar area has the usually high tops and stage for live music. The act changes weekly the floor in front of the stage become the dance floor on the weekends. It's a good time and you'll enjoy yourself if the band is good. There are no real walls inside Lat 30, so when the band is playing, you'll hear it in the dining room, the arcade, and the bowling alley. The movie theater and comedy show have good sound barriers I didn't hear the band until I exited. The menu is your standard bar food/American restaurant mix. The crab spinach dip is pretty good and I've ordered it a couple times. The pizza is nothing special. Drinks are standard - nothing spectacular but enjoyable. Parking can be a pain in the rear. It gets full very quickly and once the lot is full, I've been told to park across the street in the Avenues Mall lot and cross Philips Highway. Yeah, no thanks. I'd prefer to not chance getting hit by a car as I run across a 6 lane highway in the middle of the night. Also, they check IDs and will have a $5 cover after a certain time at night - maybe 9pm? Not positive on that. If you're arriving late, bring some cash and carpool. Seriously.

I have only been to Latitude 30 once and it was for a private event in the movie theater area, Cine Grill. The layout of the whole place is really nice. Definitely lots to do. The hostesses were very helpful. Knowing it was my first time, they gave me a mini tour, told us about certain specials and the different areas. Then they took me back to where the event was being held. The theater is nice, seats are very comfortable. A plus is that you can eat while watching a movie. They have servers there to serve you throughout the movie. They also have great "happy hour" specials. I plan to go back and actually bowl next time!
(4)Brian H.
I have had good experiences here in the past, otherwise this would have only been one star. We took my daughter and some of her friends for some bowling, games and a movie. Let's start with the movie. I should have brought a cardboard box to rip apart and eat, because that would have been better and cheaper than the popcorn they sell. In all fairness, they did take the popcorn off of our bill when we complained. To say that the service was slow would have been a gross understatement. Speaking of gross, the seats are DISGUSTING. I'm generally not a germaphobe, but I almost couldn't handle it. Definitely recommend long pants and lots of Purell if you intend to see a movie here. On to the bowling. When we started, there were exactly 3 lanes being used. Why then would they try to cram our party of 6 onto a lane next another party of 6? There were completely empty lanes all over the place. And since we're on the subject, how in bloody hell do you NOT have kids size 4 shoes when there are exactly 16 other bowlers, only 2 of whom could have worn that size? Then we went to the game room. Maybe they should spend some of their profits from the crappy popcorn on a game technician, as there were 8 games out of order. I was hoping that the guy in he ticket redemption room was out fixing them (since he was MIA the entire time we were there) but unfortunately not. Maybe we went on a bad day. We'll give them one more chance but it seems like this place is going downhill.

So we purchased tickets to the theater through Groupon, when we got there all the seats were reserved which was not mentioned on the Groupon ad that you might want to call and make reservations because our theatre is very small and it is still in the 80 ' s as far as sound and picture quality. So after that problem is solved they bring us more comfortable chairs which mine happened to be broken and had to be replaced. I then looked passed that and ordered drinks and food. And i wanted to get some popcorn cause we are at the movies. I was told they did not have a popcorn machine that worked so they said they were sorry but could not make popcorn. And as time went on and the movie started we had servers and food runners coming in and out of the theatre opening the door when a band was playing in the main area, which kept drowning out the sound of the movie this went on for over an hour. The meal I will say was good but the vibe in this place not good at all. I do not recommend this place the service and atmosphere way below par. When ipic comes to town this place will go out of business they do it right.
(1)Armon T.
Tho the place is huge... it was over crowded. I found out getting two lanes is very pricey and the food as well. Food was good and the bartenders was nice and mean. Some don't acknowledge you are there and one snapped at a customer telling her if you didn't like it leave and go somewhere else. Oh yea finding parking was a pain. They closed off the top parking area for only valet parking.
(3)Courtney Z.
Decided to try something new for drinks and appetizers with friends. It wasn't very crowded when we got there. The menu has a lot of different options, but it seems all over the place. I thought the food was very overpriced for what you got. The things we got didn't have much flavors. We got a whole bunch of things to share. For appetizers we got the nachos which were definitely not worth the price, we added steak and got a handful. Also got the spinach alfredo dip, didn't know this could be messed up since it's pretty basic. It just tasted like cream cheese, no spinach flavor. Also they added banana peppers, which I wasn't a fan of. The flatbread crisps that come with it were the best part. My fiance got the slider sampler, I've never seen smaller sliders, it was bite size. I know they are meant to be small, but I've gotten them other places and they've never been this size. Even though they were small, he said the buffalo chicken was the best one. I got the french dip which I thought was pretty good, I liked that it came on the pretzel roll. The drinks were a plus, we got a global drink, which is a big fishbowl. The service was okay, we were the only table in the section and she forgot to bring us our drinks. Overall I will probably not be coming back for the food, if I did it would be to check out the bowling.

**don't go without reservation for the movie or bowling. ** Tonight I waited 2 and half hours for a table in the restaurant. When I checked back with the hostess she said she must have copied my number wrong because she paged me. (They text you when your table is ready ) They only had two servers working the restaurant section. This was the second sign that I was not meant to give this place another chance. Previously I dined in the theater, one server waiting on a packed theater. Needless to say the condiments that were asked for never came, and forget drink refills. The main bathroom is always trashed and never maintained. You are better off walking to the bathroom past the theater since it's used less. Management needs to step it up a bit even waffle house has more servers available. The employees are very nice and friendly, kudos to them. Overall if you want to get drunk and bowl this place is for you. If you want to bring your family and get waited on in a timely fashion, go elsewhere!

Expensive food and drinks. Not worth my time. Never going again. Prices have gone up recently. Four drinks were $60. I didn't even pay that in New York or Miami last year.
(1)Athena R.
My parents came here once before I moved to town and sang it's praises, but always told me it was really expensive, so I put off going there until I was really able to afford this lavish trip. Then I decided, what the hey and planned my first trip to Latitude 30 as a surprise birthday party for my awesome boyfriend. I didn't do the catered VIP type of thing, just a simple phone call-text-message to a few close friends and asked them to join me in celebrating his birthday with some bowling that I would pay for at least one game, some cake and some video games. So the time and place were set. Everyone who was going to come RSVP'd. It was a party, y'all. The drinks were strong. The beer was cold. The shots were poured and we had a party. Sure the drinks can get pricey if you like to drink a lot, but it is well worth it if you get a decent bartender. The bowling alley actually has their own wait staff, so if the kitchen is still open and you get the munchies you can get lane-side service as you're bowling with your friends! How cool is that?! Yes, that also includes all your drinks, too. So you get the same full service at the bowling lanes while having fun without the fuss of choosing one or the other! The chairs where you can lounge around with your friends as you bowl are made to look luxurious and they are still so comfortable. I have never been good at bowling so when I get a couple of gutter balls it's nice to sit somewhere comfortable to sulk in my sorrow. On one occasion we had an issue with the pins resetting each time we bowled, so we were given time to almost finish our original hour and then given a free hour at a new lane courtesy of the management. This was a top-notch deal and we were glad they allowed us to play another hour due to the technical difficulties. I haven't had any of the food there except for the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dream. That is one dessert to absolutely swoon for. It's almost a cookie loaf, brought to you in a small loaf dish, covered with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, a mint leaf and a strawberry. Chocolate sauce drizzled all over the plate and confection. The cookie was absolutely buttery and soft and just so so bad for my diet, but it was so worth the indulgent taste of the cold ice cream against the warm cookie... and the smooth whipped cream.... *drool* OK, I'm back sorry. But it was some good dessert and I tell, I implore you, to try it next time you're in there for any reason. The price is $6.99 and with tax and tip, that was definitely the most delicious and expensive dessert for $10 bucks you'll eat a bowling alley. I guess they have to make up for the cost of their fancy leather couches. Hah! All in all, definitely a great atmosphere for kids, adults and anyone in between. They have other features there, such as the arcade which could maybe use a few more games and definitely an upgrade on their DDR, but still fun for anyone who enjoys some video games. Check it out. Love it. Try the cookie. ;)

I been here several times before and I really can't say anything bad about this place because each experience has been good. I would recommend the comedy show to anyone.

This place is the WORST place I've been in Jacksonville. I've just left the establishment 2 minutes ago after waiting an hour for service(which I never received, by the way)... I wouldn't recommend and I would never come back!!! BE WARE!!! I'm telling everyone!! Ugh! If I could get away with giving 0 stars I would!!

If you make a reservation from Yelp please keep in mind that they will not honor it for bowling or movies, just the restaurant. We found out the hard way :/ If the front desk ladies (hostesses) cared and talked to the customers like the manager does then this place would rock. I felt like I was leaning practically all over the counter trying to get their attention and they did their absolute best to avoid eye contact with me to answer my small question. I had to had another customer how to find out about movie times....and its laughable that he didn't know either. Eventually I went back to the front and yelled EXCUSE ME which finally got her to look at me. Ps...she said go to their website. She only knew what was playing for that day. They did do something right and sent the manager over to me. He was awesome and I can tell he really cares about this place and his customers. He apologized for the reservation mix up and gave my family some comps which helped us have a good time regardless. We didn't get to experience anything except the game cards the manager gave us. It seems like a crazy amount of time (3 hours) to wait for bowling...and I'm not too thrilled on how expensive bowling was either.

1/2 priced apps 4-7 I think....Asian lettuce wrap! So good ...tasty and light but filling. I've been back here several times for various events (college football, movies etc) and for just hanging out doing the wireless workity thing. It's a great venue made even better by a quality staff. I got a chance to to talk with a Latitude partner in training... soon to be opening one in Indianapolis and I was very impressed with his perspective of the company's concept. I'm an old original Knoxville Ruby Tuesday's guy and I've worked a fair share of original restaurant concepts back in the day that didn't grow so well and some that did (Grady's / Regas Grill, Chili's, Fridays, Outback). It's a tough industry to expand a restaurant, entertainment venue like Latutude 30 but I hope they succeed cuz it really is a special place. This location in Jax across from Avenues mall is the original Latitude 30. I think that may be a big part of why I've had consistently good outings here. Most concepts are strongest at the point of origin. Take advantage of it Jacksonville. It's a special place because it is an original location. Most will enjoy the food. It's fairly creative and I've had good experience with the quality. I would prefer a higher end bourbon selection because that's my beverage of choice but I can live with what they have ...Maker's 46, Turkey 101 on the high end...ya not very tippy top shelf for the small batch / single barrel crowd :( but the overall experience and atmosphere is well worth slummin' down the whiskey palette. Oddly enough, even with all the glitz and glam decor, it's a comfortable neighborhood bar that is a good go to for daily happy hour relief too....just wish they'd stock a better bourbon *wha wha wha*...lol...YES I have mentioned it to the bar manager.... If you haven't been, go. Try all the venues. Talk with the staff and you will enjoy the experience.

This place is fun if you want to play some games. There is dinner and a movie...bowling....a bar. Not sure if I will go back.
(3)Brian H.
Went here with some friends to enjoy a comedy show. While the atmosphere, bowling, venue, etc...deserve a solid 4, maybe a 4 1/2 stars... The food and service just flat out stunk.. Our waitress seemed overwhelmed. Took forever to get drinks. She forgot them twice. Forgot extra lemons three times. Then we ordered, that went seemless and food arrived in a fairly decent time. I got the Slider Sampler. They tasted like something microwavable I would give my 11-year-old. The Buffalo chicken dip was okay. Our friends got nachos which were enormous, but everything tasted cold and stale.. Guess it was an off night for them. Finally the waitress brought our bill and it was totally screwed up. Had to send it back twice to be charged correctly... All in all the night was okay, I mean we had fun at the comedy show and would probably go back for another. But next time maybe choose to eat before hand somewhere else.
(3)Ron R.
Been to this place 3 times within a 30 day period and I must say it is awesome. Went with the family and we had a blast. The ambiance is cool, the atmosphere is hot, and the people looked to be having a great time. They have everything you could possibly want from dance floor, to comedy club, movie theater, bowling, billiards sports bar and dining area and arcade area. Great place. I will def' be going back
(4)Ryan H.
Been here a handful of times and I've never had a bad time. Arcade games, bowling, restaurant, bar food, and a bar. Lots of stuff to do for all ages. Similar to dave and busters, but I would rather go to Latitude 30 than D&Bs.
(3)AJ A.
Had an amazing experience here for our first visit. Brian met us as the door walked us around gave us insight to their $25 a month membership. Great deal for everything you get. Everyone is nice here. We ordered pizza and pulled pork tacos and it was delicious. I'm sure this place prob gets busy on weekends it has a lot to offer. I enjoyed my experience here and we are coming back for sure!
(5)Micheal K.
Enough oil on the bowling lanes to FRY CHICKEN... after our first game ... MY BALLS WERE GREASY... sooo greasy that I almost dropped my balls on my girlfriends lap... beer was ok.... prices a bit high... nice atmosphere...
(1)Morgan H.
I enjoyed the food and the atmosphmere. I'd go back but it would definitely be better as like a group get together/party/celebration type of situation.
(3)Nikki B.
This place was a blast! My work rented the whole facility for an evening. Dinner was better than I expected, BBQ ribs & mac and cheese were really really good and the rest was ok too. Most of my coworkers spent the night bowling, I personally played games like ski ball, danced in the main lounge and sang karaoke on the side stage. The Karaoke DJ was super nice, helpful in song selection, and even sang back up here & there. Horace in the games room was funny, helpful and entertaining. Watch out for his fake robotic spider though! I enjoy similar places, like Dave & Busters, but Latitude 30 seemed to have a more "adult friendly" feel with multiple and prominently placed bars and very few simple childish arcade games. Since I don't have kids, I would love to have one of these closer to where I live!

Went here for a date night with another couple. I heard that parking was a beast, if you didn't use their valet. But we had no problems finding a spot. I partly give that to the nascar driving skills of my honey! I was impressed by all of the neat things they offer once you get inside. I had no idea! There's a small game room, a bar type setting with TV's to watch the game and eat, another little bar like area where the band plays, you can dance there! Bowling with big white comfy couches, a movie theatre and the comedy club. Now that's a lot to offer in one place! We came for the comedy club. We were a little early because they ask that you get there no later than 7:30 for the 8:00 show. We wanted to eat dinner, so it worked out for us. There weren't a lot of people in there when we arrived, and our server did come right over. However, that is where the fast service ended! Seems like it took forever to get our drinks and all we ordered was a bucket of beer and an unsweet tea! I'm pretty sure two of the beers were gone before that unsweet tea arrived. Really!?! It's unsweet tea, not a long process to make. Oh and the lemons for that unsweet tea... well those suckers must have been in high demand because my honey had to chase her down to get them! Not once or twice but three times we waited on lemons! Poor Jane had to wait to enjoy her unsweet tea. Our food came out in a timely manner. We got the slider plate, and you can tell they were not fresh but previously frozen. I didn't care for them. We also got the chips and buffalo chicken dip, I loved the chips because they were salty! The dip was delicious to me as well, I don't think my honey thought so though. The other couple got a huge plate of nachos, and although I did not try em, they looked tasty! You know I couldn't pass up dessert.... I ordered the chocolate chip ice cream dream thing... it came out super fast and was gone super fast! That is a must try! YUMMO! The bills were all wrong and were sent back once or twice to correct. Our server had way too many tables to deal with which made service stink. The show started like 30 minutes late. Which wasn't too bad for us because we always have great conversation at the table with this couple. Mike and Jane get on YELP!!! There were three comedians, the first guy didn't have a chance, the crowd gave him hell. I kinda felt for him. The second guy was by far the best! Funny man right there. and the headliner guy, well... I was expecting big things from him because he has his own show on tv. Eh, not so funny to me. I had to force my laughs with him. All in all, the night was a fun time. And despite the crappy customer service, we will be back! oh and they gave us free movie tickets! so yeah... we will be back! hehehe

This place is amazing they have everything from video games to bowling. To a little movie theater to a sports bar. And I got a cajun shrimp po boy with onion rings. And they were the best onion rings I've ever had in my entire life. I recommend this place if you want a nice family time. Or you're taking your date out here to hang out. And it is good for watching UFC fights. The only thing I thought was bad is a four hour wait for the bowling. But that's because it's so cheap everyone wants to bowl here. So like I said if you're looking for a nice night out come in have some great food. And play some games. Hopefully this review helped you out on making your decision. Rather or not you want to come here or you just want to pass it up. Every for my first experience it was a 5 out of 5.
(5)Brandy R.
I just wanted to inform you that my experience was extremely disappointing. I guess I expected some sort of welcome and service or organization on staffs part to accommodate my guests. The mothers that were there who thought the bowling party was a wonderful idea and considered it for their next event surely changed their mind. Here's how it went. I arrived at 1:30 to make sure I was there to greet my invited guests. I spoke to the girls at the hostess stand who told me to go to the next counter and be helped there. There I was told I'd have to wait 20 minutes because I was early. My guests began to arrive and there we were standing in a group lost not knowing where we are to go or what we are to do. Not an offer to be seated ora welcome wait here while we set you up or anything. 1:45 I got frustrated and asked guys at the shoe counter what lanes my party would be on. They told me so I took my group over to the lanes where we asked a young man which lanes were 7 and 8 because we didn't see the numbers on the screens. He just looked at me blankly and I said "you don't know?" He said y'all are just going to have to give me a minute. At that point we realized we were standing at the right lanes and it was a disaster. The rude boy took his time cleaning it up and seemed quite annoyed we were in his way. I was pretty sure I'd read in you paperwork the lane would open 15 min prior to my party starting. Once the area was clean it was about 2 so we took it upon ourselves to get the kids shoes and begin bowling. Not one person was yet to greet us or offer us a beverage or anything. So at 2:15, I decided it was time to look for a manager as a parent who was hungry left with 2 of the kids I paid for To go get food since they hadn't had lunch. I was livid. I approached a man in a suit near the bar and asked if he was a manager and he said yes. I told him we had a party reservation and hadn't even been greeted yet. He said he'd find our server. About 2:30, a girl showed up apologizing and introduced herself and a girl named callie. Callie was fantastic but the other girl was never seen again. I must have walked past the manager 5 times during the time we were there and he never once said a word to me. All in all the children enjoyed themselves but the adults were quite appalled at the lack of customer service and friendliness or welcome from the staff upon our arrival. We weren't even acknowledged for the first hour we were there. Our party had been going on for a half hour before we met our hostesses one of which actually served us and I'm sure had to split her tip with the absent one. And a manager should have followed up with me after I complained or at least been somewhat apologetic to the fact that his staff had completely ignored us. Had I not already paid you $125 and had the kids not already gotten excited I would have left after the way the manager just said let me get your server and walked away. I would have taken my group and walked right out never to return. And never return is probably going to be what myself and the parents of 9 other children do because of it. I'd like to thank Callie for doing her best to recover the situation. I'd like to say to the rest of you this. 1 your hostesses are there to greet your guests and let them know what to expect. Not send you away confused and forget you. 2 your bussers and servers shouldn't act annoyed when the next party arrives as expected and they're behind on cleaning the area 3 your managers should make a customer feel welcome and ensure problems will be handled and be apologetic for his staffs errors and then follow up to ensure things are going smoothly afterwards. I'm still sitting here reeling at the $300 I spent and can't quite figure out how THAT was worth $300. I will share this experience with everyone I know.

Adult-friendly is an picture perfect word for Latitude 30, complete with not only a restaurant, bowling, FULL bar, and a comedy zone for those looking for a fun night our, or even the misses. This place is also home to many corporate office events that I've attended personally here at Wells Fargo. the staff is very professional and cheerful, i label success to any business that can properly entertain a group of well-statute corporate men/woman for hours on end because I had an absolute ball being able to partake in drinks and go right back to bowling, I will definitely be being my friends and family here for future events, as well as make suggestions when I go to visit other business with my line of work, a very spectacular experience incomparable with many. 5/5
(5)Ryan K.
Your better off going to Disney! I've only been here once and it's my last. I came here to go bowling with some friends and after looking at the prices, figured I was better off going to Disney. As the prices are about the same as what you would pay going there for 1 day. It wasnt just the bowling though but everything else was over priced. Maybe some other time.
(2)Keely P.
Food wise-good..nothing special, id eat here again if we came to bowl, but i wouldnt come just to eat. Same menu items you can find at most chain restaurants. No complaints, just nothing that made me think "WOW".
(3)Diana M.
When I first walked in here I thought, "wow, this place is small". But then I began walking around and realized there were other areas that you can't see when you first come in. I want to come back and check out their movie theater. A theater where you can order drinks while you watch? Yes, please!! We stayed mostly in the "sports bar" area and it was hopping until late. The food that went by our table all looked pretty good. I'm interested in checking out the food here as well as the movie theater.
(4)Deprina G.
Sorry Im from the north and Bowling with friends should never cost you more than 20 a couple shoes included. The bowling alleys in this city could really make some money if they stop letting this place monopolize on the Bowling Game. Beach bowl was good enough for me. I went here for a free comedy show this night. I won some tickets. The food was good but the darn comedian repeated the same jokes right behind each other bec she was reading them off her cell. How can you not know you just said something though... smh. I felt like I was the only one that noticed... these people were laughing twice.. I was looking like.. NO Lady..
(2)I-ee T.
Food is not worth the $$ it's best to eat elsewhere and stop here for overpriced bowling and pricey games, oh wait save your money and go elsewhere seriously unless someone else is paying this place is not worth the cash you spend.
(2)Rachel L.
Loved taking my young daughter here to watch a movie! 3 year olds aren't easy but there is lots of space and adults can have a drink! Will return!
(3)Julie A.
Very cool place. Lots of things you can do besides bowling. They have a little arcade area, a comedy stage, a bar, delicious food, and a movie theatre soon to open. It reminds me of Bowlmor in Manhattan. "Upscale bowling" with big flat-screen TV's suspended over the lanes, gourmet style food instead of the regular ol greasy hamburgers and fries, ultra-comfy couches for sitting on instead of the standard plastic chairs, and bowling shoes in not-as-dorky colors. But keep in mind, improvements in quality come with higher prices. The best days to take the family are Mondays through Wednesdays. On Mondays after 5pm, they are $5 per person per game plus a shoe rental fee of $3 per person. (Before 5pm on Mondays through Friday, it's $4 per person, plus the shoe rental.) This came out to $8 per person for the first game and an additional $5 per person for the second game ($13 per person). I was paying for 4 total people, so the total was a little below $50. Wow. (Heads up, if you are in the military, you get a discount.) The rest of the week it gets hella expensive, ranging from $35 to $42 per lane per hour. Add that to the cost of food, which was about $60 or so between the 4 of us. Luckily, they have a special on that Monday. With each adult sized individual pizza, we got a FREE kid-sized individual pizza. Same for the drinks. Nice! And when we showed our receipt to the bowling desk before we left, we received 2 gift cards. I'm not sure how much was on them though. Still, that was pretty cool. As for the music? It wasn't as trendy as the mainstream stuff they played in Manhattan. Either that or Mondays are 80's night. Expect to hear Duran Duran, Modern English, etc. From what my niece said, Latitude 30 is where Toys R Us used to be. It's pretty roomy inside. Now all they need to do is throw in a nightclub and they're all set. I'd like to come back and see a comedy show.
(4)Debbi C.
The valet sucked. Outright. Sorry, but they were rude and need to understand that service starts with them. Oh well... We went in and had a server named Drew who was very knowledgable about the menu and on top of things. He was friendly and helpful and we loved him! The movie was fun. It was a little older but we had fun. Bowling was fun, too. I can't wait to check out the comedy club. I'm going to ask for Drew again when we go!
(4)Brian D.
Decent food. Small game room. But they do have a lot of everything. Went there with the family. We were in the sports bar and ordered appetizers. Food was good. Our normal standard for events like this is D&B. D&B has a much larger game room. But that's about the only advantage they have over Latitude 30. Bowling, music and more are here. 3 stars due to the game room size. The kids got a little board after a while. But it is still a fun place to go to and they do have some good specials.
(3)Ellen W.
We had our team meeting here with dinner followed by bowling and pool. Great way to do team building. Our server was attentive to our needs, even as we split up into different parts of the area. I will admit, I grumbled when I found out our meeting was at a bowling alley but was pleasantly surprised. The place was not too loud or rowdy and there were several lanes with families. Definitely would go back.
(4)Wade R.
Good food and drinks watching a great movie!!
(4)Han L.
Earlier this week, my friend took me to Latitude 30 for the first time. I would describe Latitude 30 as a glorified Dave and Busters. Parents can actually bring children here; however, at 10pm, they start checking your id. I guess that's when they expect young ones to skedaddle. There is a small arcade area, not as big as Dave and Busters though. You would need to create a card to play games. There is a bar at the heart of Latitude 30 and a dining area next to the bar. Notable features include: huge bowling lanes with sofa seating, a small movie theater, and a private stage area for performances. Latitude 30 is ideal for group meet-ups and birthday parties because it can accommodate for large groups and there are a variety of activities.
(4)Brema E.
I love going here. Especially for the bowling and games. The food and drinks are pretty good as well. I've never watched a movie there but I hear some people swear by it. I wished though that on ladies night they would play music videos or something instead of sports.
(4)Jim W.
Cineagrill is pretty cool. Service and food has been good. Try the short rib taco.
(4)Danielle S.
Went on a Saturday night and celebrated my husbands 30th there. We had 10 people and everybody had fun. We played games in the arcade, pool and danced. A fun cool place. The bowling is over priced but it's a really cool looking alley.
(4)Kay O.
So disappointed. We went here to relax and take our mind off a child in the jax hospital and it was such a bad idea. It started ok but got progressively worse with a rude waitress who seemed irritated by having to make orders correct and supply condiments for burgers. We asked to speak to manager that never appeared. I will never go back. Ever. We would have been happy with almost anything but the rude waitress with a massive attitude made it impossible to enjoy our time with our kids. I will never step foot in there again. We spent over $100 for attitude and disappointment. The atmosphere - minus the staff - was great. So disappointed. We needed to unwind and the girl was so rude and obnoxious. Never ever again. All so unnecessary.
(1)Mariko S.
Place was fancy for bowling. .. There were couple bars. Bloody marry was awesome. Food was over price. Nothing special on the menu. A waitress at the bowling area was nice. But the waitress at the restaurant side was sucks. She had couple of people she knows sitting in front of us and she seems to just brushing us off to go sit with them and chat. Took a long time for her to take our order and a long time to bring us food.
(2)Steve B.
In summary, screaming kids, overpriced food with small portions, loud music, and the slowest service in the greater Jacksonville area. What's not to love? Everything! With so many options out there, don't eat here. And don't say "food should be out in a few minutes" more than once. 2 hours for lunch on a Monday.
(1)Yuto T.
Horrible parking, forcing use of valet. Everything is a wait. Empty tables but you have to wait. Then they split our group across multiple tables despite having a reservation and large enough tables being available. The food is terrible, low quality and overpriced. Basically everything here is overpriced.
(1)Brian G.
Had a great time but service at the main bar by the bowling alley was horrible. My girlfriend and I got to the bar and were ignored for at least 10 minutes. The place was not crowded at all and the three bartenders passed by us multiple times and did not acknowledge us whatsoever. Needless to say the two drinks we got were very poorly made. I would only recommend this place if you had absolutely nothing else to do on a Sunday night.
(2)Jorge E.
I have been in Latitud 30 several times to play and eating there at least 4 times. The place is awesome but pricy; kids have fun but only for a few minutes because you could spend a fortune just in games. The food doesn't match the beautiful environment; in other words food was terrible and expensive. The scallops were tasteless and under cooked; the deeps taste like Tostitos sauces that you can buy at convenience stores, the baby back ribs were ok but you can get better ones at almost any other place. The band was very good and we had a very good time with the band's performance even thou the drinks were not excellent. My martini was poorly prepared and my wife's chocolate "martini" was ok. I would recommend Latitud 30 only to have fun with the games and shows if you can afford it but not for eating. The 2 stars rating is based on the eating experience.
(2)Erika S.
Its a nice place. We went on a Saturday night the restaurant area was closed so it was hard to find seating by the bar. They had a live band playing they were ok I was happy when they put regular music on . Drink prices were good. Not so great bartenders. Sucks they all share the tips. I liked one girl but the others were awful.
(3)Jeff T.
Enjoyed Cinegrille with my Wife & Daughter over the Christmas Break! Wonderful Experience!
(5)Emmanuel F.
Terrible food. Even worse service. The waiters openly admit that most food items aren't worth ordering from the menu - problem is, almost everything taste bad. The customer service people at the bowling counter did not have my reservation after I had put it in with someone else. They were very rude and didn't seem to care that me and my friends had to wait an additional hour. The only plus is the complimentary valet. The gameroom is very limited and is overpriced, as is everything else there. For the subpar quality, this place only gets visits because its the only game in town. Save your money and go to the movies.
(2)Swetha G.
All I can say is I wish they had something like this in Columbia, if they did, I would certainly be a regular! My cousin and his family live in Jacksonville, FL, and just over the past weekend I was down there visiting them. I took my 7 year old niece to Latitude 30 to catch a 12pm show of the Muppets movie. We got there half an hour early, with time to spare, we purchased a $5 card for the arcade room (aka "Game Room"), which I believe gives you about 50 points. There are also other value cards available depending on how much you want to do there. Instead of a handful of tokens, you use the card for each game, you insert it in the slot, and it deducts points from your card, and then lets you play. There are plenty of games to choose from and for us those 30 minutes flew by. The website is thorough and has a nice listing of games available, which are both adult and kid friendly. As for bowling, we did not bowl this time, but we did bowl the time before and as other yelpers have pointed it, it has an upscale feeling to it and is really nice. The seating is super soft and comfortable, and their menu is more sophisticated than typical burgers and fries at most bowling places (they still offer fries, but they do have other things to choose from as well!). Price to me was very reasonable considering the upkeep of the place. We had gone on a Friday morning and they asked $4 per person/per game, and $3 for the shoe rental. However they constantly have deals going on and if you're budget conscious I suggest checking out their website to find out when it's the most affordable for you to go. For example right now they're offering a deal on Monday nights for kids - they get to eat and play for free between 4 to 9pm. The best experience for me was our movie experience. We saw a matinee show of the Muppets movie in their Cinegrille theater, which is an intimate space that seats a 100. The screen is still large and is 25 x 11feet, so you do feel like you're in a theater, but you also feel like you're in a home entertainment room in a rich person's mansion. Each seat is plush and sooo amazingly comfortable. Each seat also has its own cup holder and eating tray. As soon as you sit down, staff great you with a smile and menus. After you order, food is brought out on gorgeous kitchenware and you're served eating utensils in cloth napkins! I couldn't believe we got all of this for only $5 movie tickets! Of course we had to pay for the food, but the experience was definitely something I would imagine a $15 ticket would cover, not $5! The best part was that the movie was good too, not just the experience! Latitude 30 is one of a kind and not only has an arcade, bowling alley, and movie theater, but there is also night entertainment where you can go dancing in their Axis Live Nightclub or catch a comedy show in their Latitude Live room. They also have an HD sports theater room for sports enthusiasts. It really does offer a bit of everything for everyone and is very well kept and the staff working there are nice and professional. Hopefully they'll do well and expand, I wouldn't mind seeing one open up in my neighborhood.

Bowling, dining, and video games. Plus there is a bar and movies too. This place has good prices, great staff, and lots of fun. Monday they have a kids special and they also have awesome birthday parties here. It was our first visit but we stayed for hours and we will come back for sure. My children loved it.
(5)Vetey D.
The two star rating is based on mainly food, service and drinks. This is my 3rd or 4th time here. Food: Bad. Over priced. Lacks taste. I ordered the calamari appetizer, a friend ordered the chicken flatbread and another ordered the southwestern rolls. The rolls were fine. The flat bread was bland and sloppily put together. It did not taste good. The calamari was super bland and the breading on it was soggy and did not seem like it should go on the calamari.$10 for the calamari and they tried to disguise the bowl it was sitting in to make it look like you're getting a lot of calamari, but I can see the bed of lettuce it was sitting on. Sneaky, sneaky! Service: First of all, they charge you $5 to get in. This was on a Saturday with a UFC fight that night in the sports area. On the email that I got about this night, it did not say anything about a charge at the door. They don't take cards so you have to go inside to use their atm machine that charges you $3. We stood around for a while looking for someone to seat us. The wait staff was too busy talking to each other at the register. When we asked one of them, they kinda shoo'ed us away, telling us to go find the hostess table on the other side of the restaurant. We went to some other waitresses and they said they're not the hostess table, but to go the other way. We spend a few minutes walking around looking for someone to just seat us. The waiter didn't know what the drink specials are. When asked, he said he will go get a book. When he came back, he forgot. He then found a drink book and gave it to us, still did not tell us if there was a drink special or promo going on. He didn't bring us any napkins or silverware. Drinks: Overpriced. Their specialty drinks are around $10 each.

Worse food ever. Bring in a real chef!! I should have sent back the microwaved junk!
(1)Jim M.
I went in for a late lunch with my two boys and my parents. Very personable staff and a wide variety for kids and adults alike. We started off with an appetizer, crab dip, which was great but it came out after our entrees were served...apparently, our server did not put it in as an appetizer. As stated, my parents and my meal came out but the kids meals were no where to be found. We flagged down our server who managed to rustle them up in fast order. The kids ordered fruit as their side and they were both served French fries. Again, our server corrected this issue in a timely manner. We all enjoyed our food, pork taco's were great. In addition, a manager came down and apologized for the service issues. He comped the appetizer. Lots of after lunch activities for the kids. I am chalking up the issues to our server being new, would like to see new servers being shadowed....but the food was good and the atmosphere for the kids was great. We will be back.

Not bad. We only did the bowling but it was comfy and fun. Staff was very friendly. You can get the full bar options and bar menu while you bowl. I like the big, comfy leather couches that you can lounge in. Definitely more appealing than the chairs at the bowling alley! It was pretty equitable in price, too, since we weren't bowling on a weekend night. I did take a look at the game room, which didn't seem like much. Dave and Buster's has more variety and room. I think the real highlight of Latitude 30 is the bowling.

I came here last night around 11pm. We were going for a friends bday party and they were bowling. It was my first time there so I didn't know what to expect. We walked in after they checked our ids. We left the baby at home but I did see some kids in the place. I can only comment on the bowling because thats where I stayed for the most part. It was Thursday night and bowling, bowling shoes, beer and house wines are 2 bucks for the ladies. I asked about a vodka tonic and they said all they had that was 2 bucks were flavored vodka. Our server, who btw was freaking on top of her game, described as a gummy bear flavor. I passed and stuck with bud light. The couches were a nice touch . I've been to Lucky Strikes and Los Angeles. It was a like a step down from Lucky Strikes. I like the decor and ambiance and club feel at Lucky Strikes. Latitude 30 reminded me of cosmic bowling at the beaches back in the day. I don't know why. I did enjoy that the large screen tvs on the wall showing the basketball game. The dj? I didn't know there was one I thought it was 95.1 playing full blast without the commercials. Nothing special just your typical 95.1 music. Ok here comes my complaint..... The bathrooms...I took pics will post in a sec... The smell.... I just thought in an establishment like that the bathroom would be kept up and the smell.... Look I work in the Trauma ICU at Shands and I have experience some smells. So being it is my day off from that I don't enjoy it blasting it in my face when I open the door. My last trip to the bathroom I asked my friend "is the bathroom always like this?" She said no. One of our girlfriends earlier and even complained to the front about the girls bathrooms. I mean in my single ready to mingle party days at 130 am at the Ritz or Marks, or Plush the bathrooms are way better. Even Tsunamis Area 51 Atlantic had way better bathrooms. Who knows what was being thrown up or snorted in the stalls beside me while i peed. So if there girls bathroom was semi smell free and the toliet paper wasnt thrown everywhere and my pet peeve...there was fluid on the floor around the toliets. Come on drunk ladies we have a huge toliet to aim better! Than I probably would've given this place 5 stars just due to the fact that it seems like a cool place with everything in it. One stop shop. Oh well maybe they'll get it right next time.

I haven't tried the food here but I love the bowling alley. It is pretty pricey but it's very relaxing. It's a good place to go on a cute casual date.
(4)Jake B.
Spent 20 dollars on a game card, every single game we tried to play was broken or falling apart.
(1)Virginia M.
Good place to drink, bowl, and have some bar food.
(4)Jitan K.
Great place to catch NFL Sunday games! Theater like set up variety of drafts and good food. Bowling is a little expensive I prefer the more traditional old school bowling alleys. There new outdoor seating and bar area seems to be a great place to hang out.
(4)Lisa S.
Football team party was well accommodated. Very good food for kids and adults. However, watch your bill as the gratuity they kindly add is questionable. My service charge exceeded 21% ($113.00) but they could not tell me why.
(3)A.J. V.
Scheduled a company meeting with lunch in the conference room. Service was outstanding and food was a little above average. Space was good, but it's right beside arcade and music blared through the wall the entire room. This needs fixed for future company meetings here I think. Distracting for it to be a conference meeting room.
(3)Jenn G.
Huge! A step above Dave and Buster's.
(5)Jamie M.
The food is typical Sysco food. Not bad though. Not bad. The drinks. Rrrrrumph. Have you ever had four people order different $10 alcoholic beverages and, upon arrival after a lengthy weight, you all realize you've been served sugar water? It happened to us. The first time in history I've seen an entire table send back their drinks. It is pretty damn embarrassing for everyone to have to pull some crap like this, but we had to. Luckily, the waitress said we weren't the first because they had a bartender in training. Little bartender dude, a tip: Vodka martini = Vodka + vermouth, not toilet water + Crystal Light The "bar" bar was slammed so the place is doing something right. I swear to God, there must be 50 people fit into this amoeba-shaped bar. Unfortunately, there were only 2 folks back there, and they looked stressed as hell. The beer tasted good though!

First time to visit, had an overall good time. Saw a 7pm movie, theatre seats were comfy, service and food were good. It was way too cold in theatre to the point of distraction from the movie because we were uncomfortable. All the employees were friendly, especially Corey in the video game room. He went over and above to make our experience memorable! :) We will probably return, looking forward to bowling when it's before 10pm so our 12 yr old will be allowed in. If they offered some coupons (like Dave & Busters) it would be a reason we would come back to play in the game room, otherwise, pretty expensive. We spent $20 playing probably 15 games. The no physical tickets issued isn't as fun but it's smart to save wasting all that paper and prevent the annoyance of machines running out of tickets a lot like at D&B.

Can be fun at times, however, the cons outweigh the pros most of the time. I have been here about 5 times and each time I have many problems. Only once did I go there and enjoy it, and it's when the place first opened and wasn't packed and everything was actually cheaper. Pros: -Nice bowling lanes, and servers serve you at the lane -Choice between bowling, arcade, restaurant, music, pool tables, sports room... many things to do there. -Can be a fun place to hang out with friends to just socialize. Now the bad parts... Cons: - Crazy prices for bowling. $42.00 an hour for 4 people. Two hours cost $104.00... save your money and hit up midnight bowling somewhere else for like $10-$15 per person. - Crazy prices for drinks. $7-10 for mixed drinks, and they cheat you. They are watered down and taste like crap. Pretty sure they are using bottom shelf stuff as well. My jack and coke did not taste like a usual Jack and Coke. I do have to say their beer prices aren't bad though. - Arcade machines are broken a lot. They seem like they are in working order, but when you swipe your card and it takes your credit, it magically stops working. This happened on 4 machines taking 37 credits total. And good luck asking the people at the arcade to get your credtis back, they treat you like you're trying to rip them off. - Service is a joke. Many of the employess there have snobby like attitudes and are sloooooooow. I mean I understand they have to put up with a lot of people that drink and act like idiots, but don't take that out on your other customers. We ordered drinks at the bowling alley and it took 25 minutes to just get the drinks. She came back three times in between then asking if everything is ok... each time I said "Still waiting on our drinks..." she would apologize and said the bar was backed up. Ok... then for one, why did you keep asking if everything was ok three different times... is your memory that bad? And two, we only ordered tap beer. How hard it is to get someone to fill a glass? - Food is over priced and flavorless. It tastes like they use all frozen premaid stuff and then toss it in a fryer, oven, or microwave. Seriously... the mojority of their food isn't any better than a frozen dinner. I do have to say though that I did like the nachos, but really, all you're doing there is throwing cheese and toppings on chips. -No pitchers. I have never been to a bowling lane that didn't serve pitchers of beer... - Lanes are way to greased. When I grab a bowling bowl and it almost slips out of my hand like a stick of warm butter... something isn't right. I can't bowl there at all. There is no potential for typical curve as the lanes do not grab at all. The only way you can hope of getting a strike is by bowling dead straight. I'm not a professional by any means, but I have always bowled with a curve and usually score between 150-200. In three games I bowled a 92,89, and 102. I know it may sound petty to most, but after spending $100+ on bowling, it's more frustrating than fun when you can't bowl like you normally do. - Parking is a joke. I have been here on almost every day of the week and each time you are fighting to find a spot. That or you can wait in line for 10+minutes for valet. They seem to have more spots blocked for valet than regular parking. Now granted all of these issues didn't happen in one visit, but over 4. I understand issues happen, but when there is issue after issue during multiple visits, it makes it difficult to trust them again to go back. This place has so much potential, but they seem to go the route of theme parks. They think their popularity gives them to right to treat customers as they wish, and charge insane amounts of money for services that aren't much better then a typical bowling alley or arcade. Maybe others like this place, but for me I won't be going back.

I go to bowl and to drink. It's nice and fancy in there. Definitely designed to look "higher class" compared to all of the other bowling alleys in Jacksonville. They have live bands that play pretty good music. The place is clean and fancy. They have nice bars that you expect to find at a club. Here's the thing. The prices are way too high for the drinks and the food. The food is only average quality at best, but they charge you like there food is something special. I guess you are paying for the atmosphere, but to me the food should atleast be decent, right? In any other restaurant, no matter how nice the atmosphere, if the food is only so-so but costs a lot, most people would stop going to that restaurant. The seats are nice in the alleys because they aren't actually seats. They are leather couches. They have a small coffee table in front of the couches, too. It's nice for eating your over-priced nachos on them and what not, but if you got a few people bowling, the table just gets in the way and everyone is just stepping over each other. Think movie theater when you're trying to go to the restroom and your somewhere in the middle of the row. Kind of a pain. The lanes are also priced higher than other lanes in Jacksonville. I'm no pro, but to me you can barely get any hook on this lanes. Maybe it's because I use the house bowling balls or something, but I cant get much of a curve on these lanes. This place, for me, was new and cool to go to at first. But after going few times, there are better bowling alleys to go to. MUCH BETTER. Did I forget to mention that they have a cover charge to get in when you go in the evening? Yeah, this bowling alley has a cover charge to get in during the evenings.
(2)David R.
I attended a work Christmas party at Latitude 30 and was not that impressed. The bowling area was nice and modern but the buffet food was just like what one would get at Dave and Busters, nothing special. The arcade game room was lacking and there was not much room around the billiard tables. Nice idea, questionably executed.
(2)H M.
Total waste . I ordered lunch Togo with some coworkers and when it arrived I was less than impressed for a $13 French dip . I was starving , however, so I dug in only to find a full sheet of deli wrap . I called the store only to be told the manager was busy . I left a message with my name and number , no return call . I called again later in the afternoon and again the next day since the managers would not return my calls. I finally got ahold of the bar manager Nathan who apologized and invited me down so he could make things right . Well , when I was able to get there the next day , no one knew anything about the issue including the MOD . The barkeeper offered me a beer because she felt bad about the whole thing and that was all that was offered . Now things happen and deli wrap is not really an issue except that it was in an overpriced poorly executed sandwich . The real issue is the management avoided the issue and offered no resolution . I cannot recommend this place and will never be back . If you do go and have a problem they won't care so lower your expectations now so as not to be disappointed.
(1)Alfred P.
Wow! A prime example of trying to do too much and not doing any of it right. Quickly...poor food runner didnt know what table food was ordered. Came to my table three times with food but i hadnt ordered any food, waitress took all our drinks from our table while we were on the dance floor, even tho she knew we were dancing. VJ is too self indulgent. Like most young vjs seem to think that people want to hear their poor attempt at being creative. I say just keepnthe music pumping and keep people dancing. Forget about trying to mix dissimilar music styles and trying to convince yourself that you are creative. People come to dance not listen to your experiments! 11pm and kids were on the dance floor in the bar area! Some may have thought thats cute but when is having kids in the bar dancing is it at all ok. Borderline illegal I think, plus its kinda weird dancing in a club next to 6yos. Brushetta was soggy. Servers carrying drings like they are in a truck stop or Dennys. Wasnt that busy when came in yet waited 15minutes before ever being acknowledged. I believe the mgr saw it and came to take our order...apologized for being short staffed. Not my concern. Entire staff ill trained, runners dont know table numbers, servers not axknowledging new guests, food ill prepared, vj self indulgent, kids at 11pm in a bar dancing, etc etc... Advice...train your staff, get vjs who believe in keeping people dancing, bar kids from bar area, understand food concepts, and perhaps just focus on doing one thing right and not try to appeal to everyone.
(2)Jennifer P.
Latitude 360 is absolutely the worst place to take kids. We were invited my my daughters friends mother. She made reservations to watch a movie. When we walked into the theater to find our seats, I was completely appalled at the massive stains on the seats. We also ordered food...3 chicken finger plates and 3 drinks...my bill was almost $50. I couldn't eat the chicken as it was raw in the middle. We then went to the small arcade and I purchased a $10 card for my daughter to play games. It is such a rip-off. The amount of points to play a game is ridiculous, and you barely get any tickets after playing. This place is more for adults. I will never go back. I will try Dave & Busters
(1)Cara H.
My team from work came to enjoy bonding time...about 10 nurses/support staff and our spouses and children. One good thing was one of our team members is a member so we didn't have to pay for our shoes. As with larger groups, coordination of start of game always takes time. We were a bit delayed and they cut our game off at the last frame. Really??? I didn't not understand what the hurry was. We all were buying food and were about to start drinking. There was nobody waiting for a lane as several lanes were open. The waiter closed our tab even without asking. I guess they did not want our business. It is sad when people who do not understand business run the business. Just imagine by allowing us to continue to play, we would have enjoyed ourselves and not feel ill about the place and as we continue to play. We just started drinking but we had to move to enjoy our cocktails at another place. I wasn't about to give this place more of my money after their poor customer service. One thing good was their food was good. I would not recommend this place for fun if they cut off your game just because you exceeded your time limit when several lanes are open for other customers to use especially if you're buying food and drinks. It is not they had to have personnel arrange our pins. As we left, we thanked the guy at the front desk who acted like he was so annoyed for being asked several times to extend our time just so we could finish our game and kept moving like we were wasting his time. Guys, if you want loyal patrons and generate more income for your business, I truly suggest rethinking your business practices and strategy. I don't expect this business to survive if they continue their current practice.
(1)Terra S.
My sister and I came here for my birthday dinner. So this review is solely on the restaurant. The hostess seemed to be annoyed and rather rude, but we were seated right away. Our server was excellent, I had the lobster mac and cheese and my sister had some sort of steak, we also had a bangbang shrimp appetizer.... I think that's the name. The food was ok, but nothing for me to brag about. I had wine my sister had rum, she said her drink was strong, I only had one wine to choose from so that was that. I was not blown away and being that my initial greeting was full of rudeness and attitude I can think of several other places to spend an evening of celebration!
(3)Terrelle W.
The Facility is very nice but everything is over priced. I ordered a globe and they gave me a cheap pitcher instead. I mean I paid 25$ for it at least you could have given me what was advertised. I called for the manager 3 times . They never came . I won't return . A lot of potential wasted.
(2)Tiara L.
I have came here several times but this was my first time coming on a Thursday. It was a lot of fun and very nice vibe. The band "Be Easy" plays there Thursday nights. Very talented band and plays GREAT music! The drinks were good. Shrimp was good. Very fun night. It wasn't too crowded but it was a nice crowd. My bartender was stephani she was really sweet and made great drinks!!
(5)Sean M.
It's overpriced and unnecessarily busy. I appreciate what they tried to do for the city and its not a bad shot at doing a high end concept for what has been done to death as cheap and kitschy. The problem for me has always felt like there is just too much going on and none of it is quite great. Arcade games are fun, but do they need to be so expensive? Who wants to spend $1+ for something that lasts all of three minutes? The bar is alright, but it's $7+ for a cocktail that I'd get elsewhere for half of that. Bowling is great, but it's insanely overpriced and because there are so few lanes you are either waiting forever to get to bowl, and then when you do you are being watched like hawks by the people behind you who want their turn. The movie theaters are unnecessary as they are small and seriously who wants to go see a flick here where there is Tinseltown up Southside or the Regal just down the road not five minutes away? The restaurant's food is better than Dave and Buster's but again, it's so cramped and so loud that eating there is just miserable. Parking is a nightmare, and that's after they put in the structure next door. This place has a great concept, but had they built it in an area where they could have really stretched out and not been so cramped I'd have a higher opinion of it. If you get out of this joint under $50 you are lucky, and likely didn't do much. If you are ok with a crowd and with cramped spaces then you are fine. Me, I can't stand either.
(2)Jeniah J.
This is a great place to spend a weekend evening. They have games for big kids, bowling, dancing, movies, comedy, and a really sucky restaurant. OK, so the restaurant isn't a reason to come (unless you like watching sports on many large TVs, which I don't). Other than that, it is a great place to hang out and be entertained.
(5)Sharon S.
I have been to Latitude 30 a number of times and can honestly say I have had a blast every time. The place is fun and there are a variety of things to do during a visit. For example, this Saturday some girlfriends and I enjoyed a comedy show and then headed to the bar area to enjoy cocktails and live music. A seriously good time. However, I can't say that I am a fan of the food. I have eaten here a few times and I have not been pleased either time. On a previous visit, a large group of us came for dinner and bowling. I ordered the salmon and it was way over cooked and dry. This last time we went, I was craving a burger and ordered the bacon cheeseburger (MED). Again, just not good. The burger was way over cooked with a bitter burnt-like taste. The onion rings were a winner, though. Latitude 30 is someplace I would visit over and over again to have fun, but not for dining.
(3)Vanessa T.
This is a fun place to come, they have a assortment of cool stuff to do in here .....bowling, arcade game room( my little ones loved it in here and bonus it was not as packed as D&B) ,movie theater (with comfy seats and you can eat and drink in there) , full bar and restaurant (food just ok) , and a comedy club. Fun night out but watch out can get expensive.
(3)Ruthie C.
Great place to hang out with the adults and party like your still kids. Chuck-e-cheese for adults. It has arcade games, indoor bowling, wonderful drinks, comedy club, and much more!
(4)Jason W.
What a joke. I went to Latitudes, for the first time, on Sunday night. It was easy to see that becoming a member was the best deal, so I did. It was 5:00, so, before the $1 bowling stuff. The gal behind the counter told me which lane to go to, and when I got to it, I had to ask the people to move. Great, now we get to sit across from each other, at the same table. Turned out, their lane was broken, they were moved to a different lane. Turns out, a LOT of stuff is broken here, including several games in the arcade, which doesn't have many to start with. What's really broken is the service, which is what I tried to explain to the manager. I understood that I was getting the lane BY THE HOUR, which means it's going to shut off at the end of your time. What had not occurred to me, was that they were only going to let me stay in my lane for one hour. Remember, it's my first time here. They kicked me off the lane at the end of an hour. I was irate. I wanted it for two hours. No matter who I spoke to, even the "Operations Manager", they just wouldn't understand that it was THEM that caused the problem, by not explaining that upfront. It was my 14 year old sons birthday, we had friends with us, and we all had to quit bowling at the end of ONE hour? That doesn't even make sense. We left, THEY would not take care of us, no matter what I said, including "I want my membership voided". No service, nobody even comes back to see if you want a refill. Your kids will be disappointed when they see the arcade, and its redemption counter. I went with the intention of spending $300, I spent $50 and won't be back. I have no problem paying for an upscale experience, which is what they're selling. They just DO NOT DELIVER!
(1)Daisy D.
I was quick to judge Latitude 30 when it opened. I thought it was just going to be another version of Dave & Buster's ( yelp.com/biz/dave-and-bu… ). And while I was right - to a degree - it's so much more. While I've only been here twice - once for a private event in the theater, once to the comedy club - I won't be so quick to say no the next time it's suggested. On our most recent visit we were meeting up with some friends to watch a set in the comedy club. Limited bar food type menu, but full bar with decent drinks. We ordered some guacamole & chips to start, as I remembered it being quite good. And for my entree I went with the Boom Boom Shrimp Po'boy with fries. I should have opted for something different as my side. The fries were good, I just didn't need all those carbs. The po'boy sandwich was tasty and quite filling. In all honesty, I would have been fine with just the sandwich. We did join their Loyalty Club. While we haven't joined one of the 'paid' levels. We are debating it because with all the perks you get, it helps you plan your date nights for the month, that's for sure.
(3)Shawn S.
Im only basing this review off going on a saturday night for drinks and music. So dont take my review as a review for the place as a whole. Simple.. the main bar sucks. Yeah i know it can busy and things can get a little crazy but to walk past someone well a group of people for 25 mins and not even acknowledge them especially when all of us had money in hand to purchase over 300 dollars in drinks. I mean it honestly made no sense. Talk about sucky ass customer service. How about the hire less bar backs and hire more bar tenders. My review may change if and when i go back. I may even add onto it if i go there for anything other than drinks on a saturday night
(2)Beth Anne E.
A coworker told me about this place about a year or so ago and I had intended on going but never did. Then last Christmas my office had our christmas party here one afternoon for lunch. There were 3 other offices that had the same idea. The food at the restaurant was good and typical for that kind of place. We stopped in here last night to play in the arcade as we weren't ready to go home yet. It was Saturday night and it was REALLY loud in the place. I don't know that I would be able to bowl with all that noise. Or maybe I'm just old. LOL We had fun in the arcade. We're thinking about joining the paid loyalty program because you get your value back in games alone. I like the idea that you also get into all their movies for free as I LOVE going to the movies but it gets expensive to go often. This place reminded me of a place called Shenanigans we had in Texas except it doesn't have Laser Tag! If this place had laser tag it would be even more awesome!
(4)David A.
Where do I even start?! This place has not figured out what exactly it is and what demographic of people it is marketing to. The food is NOT good and the drinks are SO pricey. It is definitely not worth the money. I spent $10 on a domestic beer draft (including 20% tip). Why would I ever come drink here? The cinegrille seats are comfy but you cannot hear very well with low sound quality and in addition to the loud servers talking to other people the entire time the movie is playing. (And no they don't even try to whisper) The arcade is catered for mostly kids and there are always at least 5-6 games "out of order". They have terrible and annoying music almost every time I've been there. Always old, unheard of bands. One was wearing afro wigs the entire time. What century are we in?? The staff NEVER knows anything and is never on the same page. I will get one answer from this staff member and another from that staff member. The staff clearly does not enjoy working there and that should tell you enough in itself. This place is headed for the dumps. It won't last long in Jax. A terribly managed business that's a waste of space on the southside of jax.
(1)LaTara M.
I absolutely love this place, especially Thursday night's with the love band. I really enjoy the atmosphere and I approve either the lemon pepper wings or the boom boom shrimp.
(4)Benton M.
This was excellent service and made me nfell as if i was VIP. They gave me fresh friendly conversation. Best Friday Ever. Perfect food, and drinks are great. And THEY LOVE US MILITARY so go on in and show ur strips men... Thank you Jordan Cole
(5)Marie F.
Bowling - Can easily get expensive. Nice lanes, shoes, comfortable couches to chill back and taunt your competition. And big screen TVs showing sports. If you order food or drinks you can have it severed to you on the lanes (at least on the couch areas.) Thursday's 7 to close is Ladies night $2 shoes, games, and drinks. Also bowling specials Sun - Thursday after 9. But the wait time can really suck sometimes. (B) Comedy - Nice comedy club that has extremely funny up and coming artist. Last person I saw was Eric Grady FOR FREE. Dude was 6'9 and historical. Join in their guest list group? and get free appetizer after so many visits and enters you in for future complimentary tickets. Service within the comedy club is hit and miss. Every time we order food and/or drinks and are with a large party someone is missed completely or given a wrong item. (B-) Food - Nothing really special with the food. What makes it worst is when you asked about the menu and the waiter/waitress says "Oh everything is good." Everyone orders something different and everyone says they should have ate somewhere else. Nothing really bad - but I can't see myself coming specifically for the food. Actually might be better to just grab something at Taco Bell. (C+) Drinks - Nice friendly bar staff that is willing to mix you anything you can image. Sit back at the blue lite bar or grab a seat with a globe drinks for the professional alcoholic. First one is more then 1/2 liquor. If you order more then one expect the amount of liquor to decrease. (This is what others have said) Or it could be your taste buds dying? I sipped my one ciroc and sprite all night since I was the DD. Pretty good happy hour so I had no complaints. (A-) Live Entertainment/Music - DJ's seems stuck in early 90's and before. (And not always the good parts.) Whoomp! There It Is, Here Comes the Hotstepper, Return of the Mack, Shoop (I'll here at least one of these songs - I'm okay with that) BUT I do anything to STOP them from playing I Like To Move It (Madagascar gutted that song - please throw it away), Gettin' Jiggy Wit It, The Wobble, or anything from Backstreet Boys, NSync, Britney Spears, or Cher. It would be nice if there was some music from THIS decade! Ditto with the live covers. Great musicians but just update the playlist. (B-) Movie Theater - Dinner & a movie brought to Jax. They normally have 2 or 3 new releases playing but the perk is being able to bring in a Blockbuster movie and hosting a movie night with friends. Get comfortable with a plated meal or order some appetizers and adult drinks that are delivered to your see. I dig the small movie theatre for that intimate movie going experience. (A-) There's also pool tables and arcade - but I've never checked it out. Be advised there is a dress code. I'm almost certain I've seen it posted somewhere but I didn't remember to take a pic ? I've seen people ask to remove hats and tuck in chains. But I've never seen anyone approached or thrown out for wearing uggs with shorts or asked to cover an exposed nipple. Oh and don't park at Taco Bell you will get towed.
(4)Erikka N.
Oh, where do I begin. The Cinegrill was a horrible experience. First we had to get into about where we sat and he tried to loud talk us about the situation. Secondly, the screen isn't in HD and the sound is very low. On top of that, they have a loud air conditioner that cuts your ability to hear in half. So you spend half your time straining to hear the movie. But....the seats are really plush and feel great. There...I said something nice, my mother will be proud.
(2)Ryan P.
Came here to play a few games and go bowling. Not the biggest selection of games, but had fun nonetheless. Bowling during peak hours I think was 45 a lane per hour which is a little pricey, but we went after 10 so it was 35 an hour which wasn't too bad. We had 3 frames left after our time was up and they let us finish out so kudos to the staff!

Went there last New Years eve. Was the worst Comedy show service was awful. They sat us a group of 4 with reservations in the back by the sound booth. Had to complain to get moved. Had a band stopped playing 30 minutes before midnight. Prices crazy for what you get. All teenagers working not a clue of customer service

Let's start with the food and drinks !!!! Great food, great portions, great fun ... The nachos, and pizza are out of this world good !! The drinks are really good, great pours and on point !!! Bowling, game room, the kids love it !!!! My only problem from giving 5 stars is its so crowded the wait for food and drinks can be a little long !!!

So, this most recent visit wasn't my first time to Latitude 360, but the first time I ate in the restaurant, bowled, and played in the arcade all in one trip. Each of those activities earned three stars in my opinion. Regarding the restaurant, 3 stars for food, 4 stars for price, 2 stars for service. I ordered the French dip sandwich, and my partner ordered the spicy pasta. Both were as good as expected for a restaurant in a place where the restaurant likely comes second to the activities of the establishment. The sandwich was a bit too salty for both of us, but other than that, was tasty. The fries were okay, not crispy enough, but not bad. The pasta was enjoyable, a little too spicy--but you can't complain when you order a dish that is described as spicy. Each of our meals were a little over $10, so priced appropriately in my opinion. Service, unfortunately, was really, really slow. Our server was very nice, but it just didn't make up for how slow she was, or the fact that she forgot my drink, and then ended up bringing it AFTER the food was finished and cleared away (even though I said to not worry about bringing it at that point). Not a major complaint, more just, "really?!" Arcade was okay. I definitely feel like it should be bigger and have a better variety of games. Also, some of them just aren't in perfect working order. For instance, deflated basketballs, faulty steering wheels...that sort of thing. We played while waiting for $1 bowling games, so it was just to bide time. Regarding Sunday night $1 bowling. It's stressful in my opinion. We've heard about this deal in the past, but that the place gets packed, so we had never done it before. Nonetheless, we felt like bowling on this Sunday, and we haven't found any other bowling alleys in the area that aren't divey and outdated, so we figured we would give Latitude 360 a try. Around 6:40 we got on line for $1 bowling (after putting our name on a waitlist earlier when we sat down for dinner at 5:00). There were already tons of people doing the same, and all of the lanes already filled. We ended up getting a lane shortly after 7:00 since we had been there since 5:00. It cost us less than $10 for 2 people to play 4 games each and rent shoes. Not a bad deal at all! I will say, though, that the lanes feel really narrow. The couches and set-up are pretty nice, and being able to order drinks and food at the lane is cool too. For all the stress of $1 bowling on Sunday nights though I'm not sure if I would do it again, unless I'm willing to come super early once more. Overall, Latitude 360 could definitely exceed expectations, but it does okay at meeting them.
