Go to this place on a Saturday night! It is so much fun. They have different games on different days and Saturday is the best! The food with the arena is amazing it's all in all a good time. I haven't had that much fun in a while. Thank you for giving me the opportunity. Excellent bowling fun. We got beer, and we got pizza. But still a good time If You have kids Kids.

I’ve stayed at northland motel multiple times and seasons throughout the last year and I had the best and most comforting experiences! Pam, the housekeeping lady deserves to be recognized at least! She made my kids feel so welcomed during some of our hardest moments! She is so sweet and caring! I felt very safe when she was working! She made every time the most special to my kids as well! She did an amazing job cleaning and I was so comfortable leaving my belongings in the room when I knew she was the one to tidy my room while I was not around! If anything, please recognize her for her kind warm heart! I only wish there were more people in the world like Pam! She is truly a great woman and always goes above and beyond her job title for not only me and my children but other people that have stayed at northland motel! I felt so comfortable having her around and available at all hours! Thank you Pam for your kind heart! You will always be special to me and my children!

We've always loved Northland and today Mike and his staff pulled through the extra *AWESOMESAUCE* to make my baby's birthday party a success after having to switch plans last minute from an outdoor venue due to weather. The bunpers are now electronic to go up and down between bowlers if needed, there's non soda options for kid drinks, fancy drinks for the adults and the food is wonderful!

Great experience, I asked somebody if they had any bowling balls with extra large holes. The guy at the front desk went and drilled me larger holes in a ball I wanted for free. Great atmosphere.

Had taken my daughter there for her fifth birthday. We went on a Friday right after opening. There were a lot of lanes open. The prices were great. And my daughter said it was the best birthday ever

I had a birthday party for my grandson here and it was better than I thought.
They were able to make 2 accommodations for us since we were having a bowling party for preschoolers.
It was well organized and the kids had a blast. The food was very good and so was the cake!
The only thing I noticed was when people were bowling the ball would go straight and then make right curve last-minute no matter what lane you were on, and our lane had to be fixed once or twice because it kept sticking but other than that everything else was fantastic!
I would go here again and have another party

Insanely overpriced mediocre food (if you ever get it), extremely slow and disorganized. Spent more for food here than going out to eat at a really nice restaurant!

Absolutely terrible place and terrible owners for letting all this work on the back of a couple of women! I feel absolutely sorry for the employees that are working so hard in such a busy and slow place! And literally begging customers to bear with them because they are only two working!
The food was terrible and took more than an hour to make it with lots of errors! Extremely expensive! BUT I CAN NOT BLAME THE EMPLOYEES THEY ARE UNDER PRESSURE! What a waste.
Never again!

The front desk said we need 15 minutes to get in, and we waited for an hour and still got nothing, even though there’re empty lanes. Idk if she is a potential racist.

Great bowling with all sorts of deals throughout the week. Intuitive software on the lanes with plenty of fun features and wacky animations. Once you get in you are almost instantly assigned to a lane, but once you're there the snack bar takes a while, so I recommend the soda machine/candy claw machine. They have 4 or 5 pool tables which is great for after a game as well as a quite sizable arcade with one of the best big buck hunter games I've ever played. Overall a great bowling alley!

Worst staff ever. No respect what so ever. They really need some lessons on customer service.

Clean lanes, nice array of arcade games in the back and plenty of pool tables. Really liked the neon lights and the Christmas decorations/music for the holidays!

The person who works at the snack counter, Karen, is possibly the rudest person in service I have ever interacted with. Any question posed to her is met with aggressive hostility. If you order food, you should not expect it to arrive before you finish bowling. Then, you are essentially held hostage unless you want to just lose your money because she will not give you your food or a refund. If the rest of us took money and didn’t give the promised good/service, that would be theft. She is truly one of the most bitter and unpleasant people I have ever interacted with.

The bowling is fun and most of the staff is very friendly - but I do notice, most of the other staff seem to be very fearful of her and she is abusive towards her coworkers also.
