Went here with a group of friends. There is a decent beer selection, made a stiff cocktail and has 20 plasma TV's so you can catch your game. The food was good. The turkey burger was moist and flavorful. The hummus plate had 2 different types of hummus and was very good. There seemed to be plenty of wait staff as well. Bowling was fun. A waitress took drink orders while we bowled. We checked out the view of the harbor as we waited for a lane. What a cool place for a group of friends to have a fun and chill night. It's a great place for a family night as well. They have this ramp that little kids can use to aim their ball and bowl. Good clean fun at Easy Day.

This concept is great, a full service restaurant and bar with quality bowling equipment right there. It works well in other cities and is a welcome addition to this area. The bay view is great and the place is neat and spotlessly clean. There's plenty of well lit free off street parking. Service was below average on this visit. It was several minutes before being offered a drink at the bar and then it was unsmiling and not friendly. Servers and bar staff were occupied with sharing a dessert on the other side of the bar. Sweet potato fries were generous but significantly overcooked and charred. The bowling equipment is up to date, clean and in great condition. You won't be overrun with league members here. Comfortable couches and coffee style tables while you wait your turn. In an age of Navy SEAL everything; books, movies, video games, limited edition wrist watches and fighting knives a themed bowling alley must be the next logical step. Looking forward to the next visit, to confirm if both the service and food were just having an off night.

Check in to get a 25% off app w entree coupon I am torn... I wish I could do 3 1/2 stars but 4 is definately worth while. My Beef.... got rid of my favorite burger when they updated the menu. take-out always seems confusing for us and the staff. The burger I can get over... but we get take out here more often than I want to admit and some nights you walk in and the host/hostess desk is where you go and you pay and they happily deliver the food to you and off you go. Other nights you are sent to the bar and wait to be noticed... so where SHOULD I go? Last night the young lady asked us who we ordered our take out from... uhm... the person who answered the phone.... which was followed up with "was it a guy or girl?" really....???? Then we get sent to the bar and I show the bartender my phone with the coupon and off he goes with my phone and credit card in to the kitchen without a word. A different person appears and hands us the updated reciept with the coupon taken off, but the bartender, my phone and my credit card are not there.... it all worked out, but it seems like they are still working out some stuff out. That said, this place is a breath of fresh air for SoPo. I have heard complaints about the bowling being shut down when the time is up no matter if you are done your frame or not... but with the limited alleys they have I get it. They can't let people hang out all night and not be able to turn over the customers. The bar is large and accomodating. The backroom is large and is a place to get away from the "noise" if you want. The outdoor patio is very nicely done with the fire pits and being along the Greenbelt. The food is good and the Detriot style pizza is a huge draw. They have some valet parking but I haven't noticed the pattern...maybe weekends? They have done a very nice job of bringing a destination to South Portland and I hope they stick around.

This was our first visit to Easy Day. We we're very pleased. There was a short wait, so we had a drink in the bar. The bar service was great and the atmosphere was friendly. Our waitress (Karen) was terrific. Very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. She offered suggestions for us. We both had the manicotti and it was delicious! Looking forward to our next visit !!

I couldn't wait to leave my review because this place is so review-worthy! I haven't been inside this building since it was the old Eagles Club back in the 1990's but this modern renovation has successfully transformed a tired old eye-sore into something so hip and metropolitan that I had to remind myself I was still in South Portland. If you are coming to bowl, grab a cocktail or glass of wine at the full bar and settle in to the comfy couches that line each bowling lane. Kids can enjoy a prefect game by using a wire ramp to help them get their ball moving in the right direction. The bowling pins are brightly illuminated by black lights but I've been told that the colors change nightly to keep things interesting. You won't find any hard built-in seating or arcade vending machines here. I can only describe it as a modern, casual and comfortable all the way. The highlight of my night was the Detroit style pizza. I've never had this type before but I was blown away! Think "in-side-out" pizza. It's a crispy deep dish crust with rich, melted slices of real mozzarella cheese, your favorite toppings and a drizzle of delicious marinara sauce on top. I visit South Portland about 3 times per year and this place will be on my agenda every trip from now on!

Don't let the outside fool you. This bowling alley cum full-service restaurant is more of a restaurant with a bowling alley than vice versa. Despite branding issues with the building (entrance not visible from street, unappealing, industrial exterior on Broadway side), this place is just what the area needed. You'll find above-average pub food (I was impressed with the Upside-down Pizza on my first visit), very attentive and friendly service, and a staff that's willing to correct any problems. We had a minor issue with cold French Fries, which was remedied immediately. (Unfortunately, the replacements were also room temperature, but they were taken off the bill without any us needing to ask.) I asked the server about the name, and she told me the owner(s) are former Navy people, and the term referred to a saying among Navy Seals. The general manager and owner also stopped by to check on us, and were very interested in our feedback, agreeing that the view of the kitchen staff smoking by the entrance was unappetizing upon entering the restaurant. There was a patio under construction on the water side, which affords a million-dollar view of the Portland skyline. We're anxious to visit when it's finished.
(4)Peter T.
What a wonderful fun venue. Modern inside, 10 lanes, full bar, good food. They have a banquet room that can hold large parties making it ideal for reunions or birthday parties. Our server Scott was attentive and speedy, even though he was our lone server for our party of 20+
(4)Jimmy G.
Easy Day is a great place to kick back or watch a game. Beer selection is good. Stopped in for Pats game and service was excellent. However the nachos were not very good and the chicken wings are nothing to write home about either. Will try some other items next time in. Nice atmosphere friendly service.
(3)Peter V.
Came here with some friends last week and really enjoyed it. The atmosphere was great and the food was awesome. We had a fantastic (and beautiful) waitress named Kelsi who recommended the Chicken Caesar pizza. The pizza didn't last long and after a few beers we were all ready to bowl. Definitely recommend it and can't wait to go back.
(5)Andrew J.
I was hoping for a much better experience. Aside from the sevice, which was very good, the place was unremarkable. The food was bland, standard Sysco-grade, warmed-over garbage, the beer list sucked (not gonna fly in this area; not with all of the options available that offer much more and are quite willing to accept your cash), and the prices were not great. The free valet was nice, and the attendants were friendly. If you're looking for 10-pin bowling, keep looking. The review on here that compare Easy Day to Yankee or Bayside are completely irrelevant; Easy Day is NOT a bowling alley. They might as well have Skee Ball machines and Whack-A-Mole where the lanes are - it'd appeal to the same demographic. It was spacious and very clean; but having been open less than a month, I'd expect it to be. I'm not usually this negative, but I was completely underwhelmed.
(2)Elise R.
I took four boys here to bowl over a school break. It was a pretty good experience, but expensive. The bowling was fine, but the food was really overpriced. Be forewarned that the nachos are NOT kid-friendly. I probably would go to a cheaper place next time I take kids bowling. I would come back here with adults though.
(3)Don M.
This was our first time here and was very impressed. Really you should give it a try.
(5)David Z.
The food is gross and the ambiance beats you over the head with god and country. "Easy Day" is an excerpt from the Navy Seals motto. The bowling is fine but bowling is bowling for the most part. Lanes are $30/hour. On an upside the servers are very attentive.
(2)Peggy F.
Daughter and I had dinner at Easy Day for the first time last night. Arrived about 6:15pm. Bar area and lanes were very busy and noise level was a little high. Waited no longer than five minutes for a table. We were seated in the rear dining room, which probably had a lovely view of the water, but it was too dark. Dining room was almost full, but it was quieter than the front areas. Service was very prompt, courteous and efficient. Chose pretzel trio for a shared appetizer. Delicious. Daughter had a cowboy burger, which she loved. Generous portion of thin fries on the side. I had portabella stuffed ravioli with steak tips in a light bordelaise sauce. Fantastic and even took home leftovers. We will definitely return and try lunch the next time. I am a fan! PS Throughout our time at Easy Day, there were manger-type people walking around observing, speaking to diners, etc. Nice touch and shows their interest in making sure they have a quality establishment.
(4)Nathan O.
If you're looking for something fun to do with a group of friends, this is the place. They have food, bar and bowling. A great combination in my opinion. Lots of TV's to watch sports. It can get really busy and you may need to wait for a lane but it's worth it.
(4)Maura H.
Fun place.dim Bowling, food, beer and live music.
(3)Doug F.
if i could give this place zero stars, i would. aside from the staff, who were all very nice (so really! nothing personal) this place is the absolute worst of the worst. i was so hopeful that this place would be my new go-to spot, but MAN was i wrong! the decor consists of: enormous posters that can only have been swiped from a military recruiting office, enormous TVs, and the ugliest selection of industrial furniture i've ever witnessed. i can't emphasize enough how creepy the decor is. the name "easy day" seems to be taken off one of the larger-than-life military posters presiding over the bowling lanes which states that "the only easy day... was yesterday". as for the bowling, there weren't enough balls, and it was $30/hour. the beer list is lacking (and there are no prices on it), and who wants to pay $15 for some crappy sysco food? the wonderful view of portland across the bay serves as the only reminder that you aren't in ohio, or colorado, or the atlanta suburbs-- this place is so bland, and so weirdly military and patriotic, that it could be literally anywhere. never again, easy day. never again!

Went to Easy Day with my wife last night (9/3/14) and we sat out on the patio overlooking the water and a view of Portland. That was very pleasant although the very loud party of 6 sitting near us was not very pleasant. However, that's not Easy Day's fault. What is their responsibility is the quality of the food and the service. Our waiter appeared very bored and made very little attempt at being friendly which of course only added to our unhappiness with the poor quality of the food. I ordered the Catch of the Day which was not exactly the catch of that day. The shrimp was most certainly frozen and half the scallops were a dark orange color. Not being familiar with the color orange on my scallops I asked a very courteous and friendly hostess (?) to ask the cook if they were okay to eat. By the time she came back (est. 15 minutes) the meal was cold and I decided not to eat any more. From my own research I now understand why scallops can be orange and the fact that they are safe to eat but I'm still not sure why anyone would try to serve them. When I asked what their Craft Beer of the Day was, the answer was Sierra Nevada. With so many true craft beers locally brewed, why doesn't a sports pub like Easy Day have them on the menu? For someone into quality craft beers, Easy Day is not your place. My wife's only complaint was the filthy condition of our waiter"s khaki shorts. Of course, I didn't notice them until she pointed them out but I have to agree. They were pretty disgusting. It's obvious that a ton of money went into building Easy Day but perhaps it's time to step up the quality of it's food.
(2)AnnMarie N.
I was so impressed with this place! My husband and I were on our way back from dinner and didn't want to go home just yet so we stopped in here to bowl a few games. Lanes are sold by the hour, not by the game, so we got in almost 4 games! It's a beautiful space, and the bar has a great selection of draft beers. We're happy we came in!
(5)Emily A.
Came here with a large group around 10:30pm on a Friday night. The staff was very accommodating and set up individual checks without us having to ask, which was really great on their part. The menu was pretty varied, which can be good and bad, and for Easy Day it seems to be good, as everyone in my group enjoyed their meal. I was a little disappointed, however, since my Cowboy Burger came missing the bbq sauce and onion rings... so in reality it was just a bacon cheeseburger, and a fairly expensive one at that, but things happen. I'll probably go back, as I'd like to go back to try some of the other items on the menu.
(3)Kelly R.
For bowling alley ambiance & the view of the bay, easy day gets 5 stars. For customer service that's where I am a bit unsure. While attending college, I know the importance of customer satisfaction as I have lived off of tips for the past 5 years. I know the ins and outs of serving, hosting & bar tending. I have been here three or four times for lunch/dinner & I can say only one of those times was actually pleasant. The last two times I've gone, the service was sub par. When I went for lunch I got the gluten free veggie burger which was delicious with condiments...but the bartender proceeded to walk away from me as I kindly asked for ketchup again (which I could see in front of me but was behind the bar & out of my reach). She said "sure" as she walked away from me & the ketchup that was right next to her. After a solid 5-10 minutes of looking at my plate with no ketchup & my burger getting cold (while I'm watching her talk to guys at the other end of the bar with her back towards us) I began to eat it due to my ravenous hunger. Only at the end of the meal did she happen to walk over to my empty water glass which I had to ask a third time for ketchup. She was very short with my friend and I & I felt as if we were "annoying her" by being there. Ugh. I told myself I would give it another shot but only at dinner - for the chance of a different bartender. This was a couple weeks ago on a busy weekend night. I walked in to the host stand and the host pretty much just looked at me with no friendly greeting whatsoever and waited for me to spit out some words. I thought to myself, "ugh, not this again" and told them we would wait 45-hour to bowl and grab dinner at the bar. The female bartender literally threw a coaster at me so hard it bounced off the raised edge of the bar and flung back. I couldn't help but laugh to myself as my boyfriend was still parking. SOO sad as she was FAR FROM FRIENDLY. My boyfriend & I love to go out to eat & find friendly bartenders to give our money to. Thank god we did most of our interaction with the male bartender who was more charismatic and made me a special drink. We ordered food & were extraordinarily hungry. We watched people sit after us and get there food. We started to wonder a half hour later where our food was so I got the balls to ask the question that often sounds so rude (I hate to be asked this question when I'm on the bar) "do you know how much longer on our food?" And he looked so embarrassed as he had forgotten to ring it in. At this point I've had two pretty strong drinks and it's almost time to bowl. I was annoyed so I said don't worry about my food - but my boyfriend waited another 20 minutes for his to come out. The bartender felt bad, but I felt as though I didn't want to spend 1 more dollar after this whole experience. From the time we sat down almost an hour and a half went by before someone came over to tell us our lane would be ready soon - as we were about to leave. I'm really sorry to write this review but maybe the staff will read this & things will change.

I've had nothing but great service and food from Easy Day.unfortunately the few times I've been here it's been in the winter so I haven't been able to enjoy their outdoor patio with fire pits. If I lived closer I most likely would. So far I've enjoyed their antipasto salad and today had some chicken tenders while bowling ! The sweet potato fries are also just how I like them - thin and crispy ! The ease of using their digital bowling is great and for people with children they have bumpers and ball rollers to make the game easier and more fun for the chillin's. We enjoyed our bowling with good old fashioned gutters but to each his own ! Bowling for 1 hour and shoe rental for two came to $32.00 - not bad! Their food menu is pretty affordable too. They also have a pretty good drink list but I have yet to try their cocktails. They also have the prettiest view of the harbor - better than all the other bowling alleys I've ever been to !
(4)Vivian G.
I went there on there grand opening and going there once or twice a week I love the bowling alley and restaurant mostly because I live a 5 minute walking distance from it! I went there thinking it would be bad because of the name So I order chicken tenders and they came with this tangy bbq sauce I loved it they also have great fries. The service was terrible at first but improved a lot everything did happy to be a regular
(5)AJ P.
Great place to have a drink, hang out with friends, eat some food, watch a game, and go bowling. Equipment and lanes are all fairly new with great big screen TV's playing sports games all around. The food is okay as far as food goes. Nothing to write home about, but it's decent. The drinks are good. Beer selection could be improved with a few more local beers and microbrews. As far as everything goes, I'd definitely come here again.
(4)Karen R.
This place rocks! I had heard great things about this new bowling/bar/restaurant and was excited to check it out. I am definitely not the World's best bowler, but do enjoy it, and after a couple Allagash White's I begin to consider myself league material. The vibe here is really fun. We got in and there was a band playing, the bar was filled and there was about a 45 minute wait for a lane. We expected this and did not mind. We grabbed a high top and a beer and waited. Within 30 minutes we had our lane. The lanes are new and new, and the monitors do all the work in calculating scores. I lost...both games, but had a blast. This would be a great place to host a company party or birthday party. I have not tried the food yet, but will at my next visit. They have plenty of space and a great view. Looking forward to my next visit there!
(5)Sarah H.
The food at Easy Day is basic and decent. We went for dinner on a weeknight and enjoyed our experience. They have a nice, seasonal cocktail list - I liked The Honeypot, cider with honey and Dewar's White Label. I also had the ribs with cheddar corn bread, and the ribs were smokey and fall off the bone tender. My wife had a burger with gluten free bun (the typical Udi's variety - but our server was knowledgeable about the GF options) and the hand-cut fries were very good. Our friend had the chicken parm and it looked great - he agreed. Overall it was a decent experience, if not overly exciting.
(3)Ryan C.
I made it to this place three times last week (between the hours of 12:00 P.M. - 1:00 A.M.) The establishment is well spaced and provides ample room for large groups. Bowling, Drinks or Dinner...take your choice. Other than the ample draft list, I had the opportunity to sample the Detroit Style pizza with basal, which was ridiculously good. While I haven't yet had anything else, I was told by the bartender that they have "Italian Sandwiches" with actual Italian Deli meats. (I'm sick of the place with the tomato on the sign and need a "Real Italian sandwich") Even though this establishment is in South Portland, you should expect the prices & (more importantly) quality to reflect that of Portland. TAKE-OUT & FREE FOOD DELIVERY TOO!

I'm thrilled this location has found its purpose as a bowling alley, bar and restaurant. This has been a troubled spot for sure - prior iterations of restaurants have seemed so cavernous and empty, and have promptly failed. Whomever came up with the idea to use the massive space for bowling is brilliant. We were a party of 8 including a few kids on one lane this weekend. We had no wait, service was friendly and prompt, and the lanes look beautiful. Five enormous screens showing various match-ups made the football-loving members of our party very happy. As with most modern bowling alleys, when you register to play you can indicate those in your group that want to use the "bumpers", so the kids had a great time developing their skills and the adults could play traditionally without the gutter bumpers. There was a nice looking bar, a ton of brews on-tap, and some tables for non-bowlers. The waitress was very attentive and patient with our slow decision-making. We ate in the lounge area near our lane. We had an appetizer to share and then ordered sandwiches and other entrée items. Everything was fresh and delicious. The falafel wrap was one of the best I've had. Our large party was two families, which the server made note of, and she quickly split the bill including the shared app and the cost of the lane, so that was very convenient for us. This is a bit of an expensive family outing but not unique to Easy Day - our half of the 8-person bill was $80 before tip. This included the 1.5 hours of bowling, shoe rentals, and food / drinks for our family of 4. Worth it for an occasional treat with the kiddos, in my opinion. I look forward to going back.
(5)Brock F.
A nice bowling alley. We had a good time here the other night. Our server was great and so was the live music.
(4)Michaela M.
Can't find anything wrong with this place. Food is cheap and surprisingly really good. Like, really good for "just a bowling alley". They have a cool set up too, you go check in with the host, she seats you for dinner then the bowling guy comes to grab you when your lane is ready. They make it so easy! And Alyssa is the friendliest server ever!

I know that people say this all the time, the whole "I'm from Such-and-such and so I know good X-type of food." But seriously, I lived for a long time in Detroit and I have been perplexed by this whole "Detroit-style" pizza schtick that Easy Day has. Every time I went there to eat their freaking delicious pizza, I'd remember back to my days in the D and wonder what on earth they could be referring to because, as far as I can remember, there were two kinds of pizza in Detroit: regular old pizza and Chicago-style pizza. The regular old pizza was the kind you'd find anywhere, pies thrown by the likes of Papa Johns and Domino's. And then there's Chicago pizza, popularized by Pizzeria Uno but, in Detroit, is lifted to the glorious pinnacle that is PizzaPapalis. This Detroit-style pizza really bothered me. I can't tell you how many hours I've spent contemplating the existence of a pizza style that had somehow been hidden from me during all my years in the city. And then it hit me, there is this chain in Detroit called Jet's pizza and they do deep dish pizza and it's very much like Easy Day's. Could this be what they mean? Because deep dish pizza isn't unique to Detroit. In fact, to my mind, deep dish pizza is associated with Pizza Hut in the 90s where I would hang out with my nerdy, greasy friends and talk about D&D. And Jet's sells regular pizza and even thin crust but they offer this deep dish option. And that's what it's called: Deep Dish. Because the dish they cook it in is deep. There was a Jet's a few blocks from my house and I would eat there all the time, though I usually ordered their regular pizza with the delicious flavored crusts. Is Detroit the only place in the country with pizza joints that offer deep dish pizzas any longer? Are they aware that, while Jet's home is Michigan, they are in 19 states and that people outside of the D have access to deep dish pizza any time they want? Or is Easy Day trying to make "Detroit-style" a thing? Obviously, this still bothers me. Naming mystery aside, I like Easy Day. I particularly like their pizza, even if I can't bring myself to call it "Detroit-style." Their lanes are lovely and the seating around them comfortable, they have ciders on tap, and the decor and atmosphere is decidedly more casual and less hipster than Bayside. My only real complaint about the place is that the rest of the food fails to live up to the achievement that is their (oh-my-god-I-don't-want-to-say-it) Detroit-style pizza.

This is NOT a bowling alley, it's a self-proclaimed "bowling lounge". It's a restaurant and bar with a ton of space inside--and a gorgeous new outside that overlooks the Eastern Trail and the Casco Bay!--that happens to have a few lanes for some fun. If you come here for some serious bowling, you'll probably be disappointed. For the rest of us that just want a cool place to watch the game with good food, plenty of parking and space to breathe at your table, this place is perfect. We chatted with Chris Tyll, the owner, for a few minutes during the USA vs. Ghana game, and he mentioned that they've hired a second chef and are experimenting with the menu a little bit, with hopes of launching some changes in July. He gave us a preview.. some of the things that stood out to us were a new thin crust pizza, rib sliders, and a cowboy burger. He also mentioned their initiative to buy things more locally, including their new wings. I do agree with some others on how lackluster the curb appeal is (at least on the Broadway side, because it looks fabulous from the Eastern Trail), but once you step inside, you'll forget how bland it looks from the outside.

After reading a couple of negative, 2 star reviews, I journeyed back to Easy Day to see if my first trip was with rose colored glasses. I don't see how anyone could rate this 2 stars. Easy Day is absolutely fantastic. If you're a serious bowler, play in leagues and own your own custom ball, then this probably isn't the bowling center for you. I'm not an expert at oil patterns, but bowling here is much easier (no pun intended) than Bayside. I'd imagine "real" bowlers hate it. And that's fine. Bayside is a couple of miles away. With that being said, for the casual bowler and the general public who are just looking for a fun day/night, this is top notch. Giant projection tvs above the bowling lanes, very attentive and professional staff, beautiful views of the ocean, and decent food. The food is on par with Pat's Pizza (it's the same owner). So it's not fine dining, but it's solid pub food. The beer selection is only ok but does the trick. Easy Day is still really new, but for the most part you wouldn't know it. They hit a home run on this one. The owner is a proud veteran of the Navy Seals. The name, and some artwork inside, reflect this. I don't see how this is a negative trait at all, but to each their own. I think Easy Day is the best new addition to the Portland area in 2014 and I can't wait to go back.

This place is great! Brand new bowling alley, bar, and restaurant. This is not your average bowling alley! The staff is friendly and you can order food while bowling. They have a large bar/lounge area and a dining room. Great spot for a large group, work outing, night out, or a day with the family. We had a fun time bowling this afternoon and they were very accommodating (we have a high maintenance two year old). We will definitely be back!
(5)Cameron F.
Had a great first experience when they opened up about a year ago. I'm not sure if it's the management or what but the place has gone to complete s*** as far as hospitality goes and from what I hear the cleanliness in the kitchen as well.. I definitely would have given a great review when they first opened up. Since then I have not visited or told anybody a good recommendation for this place.. Definitely not a kid friendly environment.
(2)Karen J.
Pleasantly surprised... My husband and I have driven by Easy Day about 1,000 times since they opened. Honestly, the name is a real turnoff and the fact that it is a bowling alley didn't seem to make sense... But-we were bored tonight and tired of the same old places so we thought we'd give it a try for dinner (not bowling). It's a huge space-nicely put together. Busy and fun bar/lounge area. Quieter dining room in the back looking out over the back patio where they have tables with fire pits-very cool. And the view is outstanding! I've never seen the CBB from that angle! They have a fairly large menu - something for everyone. I had the eggplant parm served with linguine. I am super picky about my EP and I have to say that this is the best I have had In a long time! The sauce is great-not sweet like so many places. The eggplant was breaded and cooked perfectly. And a very large portion for $12-only ate 1/2 of it. My husband had the Cuban sandwich. He said it was great except that the bread was a little hard (over toasted maybe?) - hard to chew through to get a bite. Our waitress was very sweet and attentive-eager to please. It was not super busy for a Friday night-we had no wait. The outside patio was busy but a bit chilly for us. We will try it again soon!

I experienced Easy Day yesterday for the first time yesterday while on a date. Having never been there before, I did not know that it was a restaurant/bowling alley. Apparently my date had planned on us bowling and having dinner. However, there was some sort of men's bowling league there and all the lanes were taken. We settled on some seats at the bar and ordered some drinks. My sex on the beach was underwhelming. I'm used to a 16 oz glass when I order this drink and this one was probably 4-6 oz. It tasted fine I just wanted a big drink! I settled for twisted teas after that. The highlight of the meal was the spinach artichoke dip appetizer. It was the best I've ever had. As you can see by the picture it had toasted bread crumbs on top, it was just delicious. It was pricey ($9) but worth it! I was pleasantly surprised when I checked in on yelp and saw a deal pop up for 25% off an app with the purchase of an entrée so we ended up getting $2.25 off our bill! My entrée was the steak and cheese sandwich with fries ($9). I will not be ordering this again. There was not enough meat on the sandwich, and barely any cheese on it (literally probably one deli slice worth on the whole thing) I had to pick off about half of the bread to be able to eat it or I would have had mouthful after mouthful of dry hard bread. The fries were all stuck together in one glob and way too salty. The kind where you pick one fry up out of the bunch and they all come up together with it. My date had a hamburger and enjoyed it. I would give 2.5 stars for the service. They were polite enough, it was just painstakingly slow. Maybe it was just busy but it didn't seem to be at 6pm on a Thursday. My advice- don't come here to just eat, unless you want to sit onside on the patio and enjoy the beautiful view of the water (one star was given for the view although I didn't enjoy it on this visit because it was so hot out). I would say come here if you plan on bowling as well, but call ahead to make sure there is room for you to bowl because there is not a lot of lanes. I was sitting right next to my date at the bar and I could not hear a word he was saying over the whooping and hollering of the bowlers and the crashing of the pins. Not really a good place to go and enjoy a meal and have a conversation.
