The Alley At Southshore

Really nice time. Quality lanes, very nice staff. A little bit expensive, and the lane we were on failed to cycle and had to be reset, but we will definitely return.

Great place to bowl, just know if you don't come early (3-5pm) or for cosmic or early bird bowl THIS BOWLING ALLEY IS VERY EXPENSIVE!!!Anytime bowling costs range from $30-$50 per Hour per lane!!! Now for the cool stuff: Great place to bowl for ALL AGES!They have a HUGE private bowling alley in the back where you can book groups or parties.THE FOOD HERE IS FRESH AND DELICIOUS!The bar drinks are ice cold and also delicious!They have a billiards area to shoot pool at.THEY HAVE A GREAT ARCADE FOR ALL AGES. The arcade is similar in size to Main Event with games just as big and fun as any other large indoor arcade place. They upgraded their software to touch screen lanes with email and app capabilities to track your games.Great place for people in bowling leagues!!Now the not so cool stuff:Obviously $50 bowling. You could go pay that at a fancy bowling alley with all the bells and whistles like lights and music with table service. They have an amazing restaurant off to the right when you walk in BUT NO STAFF TO RUN IT!!!So sad! So much potential here. There was trash on several tables with old food where people had eaten and drank and no one cleaned it up for hours. Also, no one to seat you (per the signage) at the dinning area. That was very disappointing especially if you want to eat as a family whilst waiting for your hour long waitlist to bowl.There is also often a wait list to bowl in the afternoons for the more affordable bowling sessions so again, come early to enjoy. If you live locally it really only good to go when there is a deal to bowl. Hope they make some business improvements in the near future.

The location is good and the staff was somewhat friendly. We got a VIP lane for 5 people and our lane was stuck on 3 different locations. got so tired of it I asked to be changed to a different lane. Got put in a regular lane that worked for a solid 15 minutes and then it decided to get stuck as well and was moved the the lane to the left of it. When I went to staff and asked for my time to be added back they had claimed it was already added back ( it wasn't) so they called the manager over and we were given 5 minutes to complete our game. The food was ok but the portions were small compared to the price.

It's been years (because of COVID) since I have bowled here. It was always a nice place to bowl and it has remained that way. The arcade is full of games to play and the restaurant offers a variety of "bar food". The alleys are nice, although not perfect. The computer scoring system is easy to use. The scoring system has changed from my prior life. I used to like seeing on the screen which pins were still standing and their suggestion on which pin to hit to get the spare. That system isn't there anymore, but instead, lots of fun facts come up on the screen. Overall, a nice place to spend a few hours with your friends and family.

My kids love this place! Been to a few birthday parties here but today I had the chance of visiting the bar and trying their nachos. Tanaya was bartending and had everyone handled even though she was the only one there at 1pm. Got my families food order and my beer super quick. Now the star of the show were the nachos! Seriously one of the best nachos I've tried around the Riverview/Brandon area. As usual pics below.

Never ever have an event here and order 10 pizzas. By far, the worst pizza I ever had. Didn't even cut it all the way through or bring the serving utensil. They made everything way too far in advance and nothing was hot. Cardboard pizza!!! Bartender was 5 star but food was a 1.

This is my experience at this business come here pretty often it's a family favorite I have had several entrees from here the service is good the chicken wings are great the supreme nachos are great I recommend pretty much anything on the menu but I do not recommend the pizza

Staff was friendly, the bowling alley had a great look, and the food; all though I didn't order any, looked elevated. However, the main reason for my visit and the poor review is the bowling. The deal sounded good. 6.99$ from 3-5 including shoes. Brought the family in for a few games or so I thought. We successfully completed ONE game and frame 8 of a second. Not due to us not being cognizant of who's turn but the fact that our particular lane was not reloading with haste. We would have ball in hand ready to bowl while standing stagnant waiting for the pins to reload. One time actually pressing the reset button multiple times with no success until we had to tell staff. Long story short is the deal is not worth it. If you had all the time in the world to sit and wait for pin resets ok. But when your on a 2 hour window and a game with 5 bowlers eager to take there turn takes 80min there is an issue! (Sarcastic voice) thanks for letting us finish our second game. They gave us an extra 5 min that would have been great if the pin reset was properly functioning but that was not the case. The video cuts out because it was too long but there is additional waiting as you can imagine. The final straw was the arcade.... Loaded up a game card (only 5$) let the kid play 1 game for 1.50$ and one game for 1$ but when we went to play a 3rd and final game listed at 1$ the machine said we had a balance of only .50cents.... Once again being ripped off. Hate leaving bad reviews but hate even worse feeling cheated and taken advantage of. Thanks for letting me vent... will not be returning.

Ebony and Percy are good people. They made great drinks and were very personable. The onion rings were delicious. I will definitely be back.

Went in to watch the Buccaneers on Monday Night Football. They refused to turn the volume up so the game could be heard by everyone. I asked to have tv closer to the pool tables switched to the game and that tv was delayed by 5 seconds. I.E. suddenly everyone yelled for a TD but our tv was just showing the snap. This is not a great place to watch hone games. Rule one...when the home team is playing...Crank It!!
