Shakopee Bowl

Great for the Vikings football game, drink specials and food. The prize giveaways are awesome.

*My review is based on my most recent visit for a reserved party. We have been here before and while we love the amenities, the staff have soured our experiences. Recently visited Shakopee Bowl for a wiffleball birthday party. The day prior to the party I confirmed details with a very nice gentleman who offered an indoor space if bad weather occurred, offered to store our ice cream cake and allow us extra time to stay as long as we were out by the time the next reservation arrived. However, staff working the day of the party were very rude upon arrival. I wanted to touch base with someone to start setting up and was met with attitude and short responses. I asked to be on one field as opposed to the other because the field they put us on didn't accommodate our party, requiring us to move & add heavy tables. They said they won't switch our field as there was another reservation on the field I requested. Ok, we'll make it work. In time we learned there wasn't another reservation for the field but they admitted they like to keep a field open in case other people want to play on it. That field sat empty the entire time. I could have had the field that would fit everybody without paying the party reservation fee.. The staff person assigned to our party, "K" was not helpful or enjoyable. We spent a lot of time waiting for K to bring out supplies needed for our party. She was late on everything despite having all order information ahead of time. Food, plates, forks for ice cream cake, which melted before guests could enjoy, etc. When K was with us, she hovered without actually helping. Guests from our party had to constantly go inside and ask for supplies & drinks themselves. We are already limited in our reserved time and spent too long waiting for items. K told us we could sit at tables outside of the reservation area as our group size was dwindling and we didn't have time for gifts. I asked K if she could store the remainder of the ice cream cake in the freezer while we finish up and was met with an eye roll and rude response. She refused to help so my brother took in inside where another gentleman let us store it in the freezer for a bit.As I paid the tab, I handed K the payment and tip; again, I was met with attitude. Our party was not rude or unkind. I don't feel like we gave any reason to be met with the awful service we received. I just don't get it. Maybe she had a bad day but it ruined ours. I tipped out of pity. I hope she finds something she actually enjoys. Needless to say I will not be making another party reservation here, which is a huge bummer because this place has a lot of fun things to do and besides the staff, we want to enjoy it. Two stars because the kids had fun on the field.

First time at The Bowl! Had a blast! Good service, good food and music! We'll be back!

The Amazing service! Great price for a birthday party! Pretzels and pizza are amazing! Clean, great lighting, nice smell.

We went today for lunch and sat outside. They started the firepits to help keep us warm.The server was very nice and attentive. She had zero issues asking any questions since it was our first time there.The food came out in individual closed containers. It was hot, which was nice as it stayed warm for the entire meal, plus it was fresh. We will for sure be back to eat here again.

Went last night for our first visit and it was a total blast. Special shout out to Ben and Abby, the two employees that made everything easy and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. I recommend visiting this establishment if your looking for a great time. The food and drinks we on point and so was the customer service! The whole vibe was on point! Thanks again to Ben and Abby!

So I used to live in shakopee for like 5 years and I never knew there was a bowling place there but I finally got to go last weekend with my family and let me tell you it was a really nice place, the food is amazing the pizza is so good I never thought a bowling place could have that good of a pizza really good everything else was nice and clean, people was really nice, I'm totally going back for sure

All of the bad reviews you've heard about this place...FORGET ABOUT THEM! They were from the old center that was here before Shakopee Bowl. All of the employees have been replaced with kind people, the bowling alley is taking extra precautions during COVID and before COVID happened and I was trying their food, it was amazing! This is a great local hot spot that is slowly being rebuilt from the ground up. For those that had a bad experience, give Shakopee Bowl another chance! They won't disappoint!

So much plastic waste! All drinks were served in single use plastic cups with plastic lids and plastic straws, utensils were plastic, wasn't given a choice about a straw. Please Shakopee Bowl - hire a dishwasher and be more eco friendly. As to the food, it was pre-packaged, processed food just warmed up on site. Nothing special, not terrible but not remarkable.

Prices raised by 25% and still extremely anti-customer mentality from owner. Bucket of Coors light price was $20 at Christmas 2023 and now price raised to $25 for same bucket of 5 beers. Wow. That is a 25% increase. So sad to see Dave the owner here treat his customers so poorly as well. We have observed him getting in verbal altercations with customers and banning friendly people from the establishment and behaving in a very belligerent way. Shame on you Dave! Thankfully some of his staff save the day and treat customers great. Hate to patronize the establishment and give the money to such a bad person.
