Wow, what a fantastic experience! Our server was Collin, who provided outstanding service. Collin was so friendly(genuinely kind), efficient and made the best recommendations. The food and drinks were excellent. The atmosphere was upbeat, fun and very clean!!! All my friends and I had the best time. I definitely recommend Kings for great food, drinks and superior service. Thank you for such a wonderful time. We will definitely be back.

Nice place. Pretty good food and games as well. Open for all your can play arcade Wed and Thursday. Sanitizer wipes and hand sanitizer out. Saw them spraying benches and wiping down the bowling balls. Every other lane closed so had plenty of room. Was a nice break and fun time.

I met a group of 20 old friends at Kings in Raleigh in early March. We ordered a wide variety of appetizers & specialty cocktails. I highly recommend the mojitos. Everything was so delicious & the bartenders were super friendly & accommodating. Bowling & darts are always fun group activities, but the 4 person air hockey is my favorite thing to do there! It’s a complete “night out” experience all in one place!

We came here with some friends for a date night, first time for all of us but we had heard good things so tired it out, we had a reservation and were a bit early but they seated us right away, the table was roomy and comfortable for the 4 of us.Our waiter was Colin, he was awesome!! Very knowledgeable and made some really good recommendations that turned out great.The food was all very very good, only problem i had was that i requested my bang bang calamari with no sauce due to an allergy, it arrived with sauce on it but Colin wasted no time having the order corrected and the manager ( the bearded guy LOL) personally came to the table to check and make sure that i was okay, he was very kool, professional and made us feel welcome!Get the long island ice tea!! The rest of my party seemed to really enjoy their drinks as well.After eating we did a little bit of bowling which was enjoyable, I love how some of the lanes are isolated to one side of the restaurant, but definitely do not miss out on the four-person air hockey table to be honest that was probably one of the highlights of our evening.Will definitely be returning!

This was an outing for my brothers birthday. Had a really nice meal prior to bowling. The bartender was super friendly, offering suggestions as we waited for our food. The food was a great choice (chicken wrap and tomato bisque soup). We played several different games. The atmosphere was superb.

Awesome placeCame here for my fiances birthday, and they did a great job. Bernard was our server and he was super nice and courteous. Food was a little slow to come out but he kept checking on us and the food was pretty good (8/10) and definitely affordable!Bernard hooked us up with a free bday cupcake AND an upgrade to a VIP bowling lane! He did a great job all night.We only did food, drinks and bowling. But they have arcade games, air hockey, darts, pool tables, and then some..so well be back! Cool environment!We came on a Wednesday night, it was quiet which we liked. Im sure weekends are busy but probably for a good reason!Highly recommend Kings for a good time!

The atmosphere is great, food as well. We sat at the bar and our bartender, Steve, added NOTHING to our experience. I work in the service industry, and this was the worst service Ive ever had. When he greeted us, he gave us pen and paper and asked us to write down what we wanted and that he would be back shortly... Im sorry but that is your job. When we ordered food, it came out wrong and he never checked back with us. He was hard to flag down, and when we did have his attention and asked for something, He quickly ran away before I could even finish my sentence. We had to ask for everything. Napkins, plates, drinks, etc. We asked for our check 10 minutes ago while Im sitting writing this review. Kings is great, Steve is not.

Love it. What a beautiful upscale place to dine and have fun at the same time. If you are looking for some good family fun place to go, this is it. Very affordable, beautiful installation. The whole family had such a great time. I really enjoyed my visit there.

Really cool atmosphere for a bowling alley & pool hall in one! They do also have an arcade area with cool games, but its far to overpriced(4-5 swipes of Time Crisis 3 with our $25 card and it was spent! Wow!). Still, service was great and food, varied and tasty. Was there for work event in back area. Absolutely perfect for that!

My girlfriend and I did Dine Then Bowl last weekend. The food was delicious, and the drinks were strong. We got there before the Saturday evening rush, but service was still solid even after the place started filling up more. It was a really fun night even though were terrible bowlers! Kings is definitely on our list for whenever we are in Raleigh again.

Make sure to plan ahead before going! We walked into a 2 hour wait for bowling but the front desk sold us on all the other amenities like the Arcade and the newly added patio. The food and drinks were really good and the staff we encountered was very helpful and friendly. We will definitely be back!!

This place is awesome! They went above and beyond for my party of 35 (20 adults and 15 children). The staff was amazing and super friendly. We were there for a soccer tournament and I found this place online. I made reservations over the phone and when we arrived they treated us like we were family. Q was beyond sweet and her manager was so helpful and nice. The kids and adults all had a wonderful time.

Review №25

I had received a coupon for what i thought what was dinner and bowling, turns our it was only for bowling. There was a mix up on the time of the reservation so I was an hour early. I had never been to the place before so I really didn’t know what to expect. The gentleman at the desk said i would have to come back in an hour because he was full, even though there were several tabes vacant. He said we could also sit at the bar and order, so we did. After dinner - at a cost of $76 - I told the gentleman we were ready for bowling. He said there was an hour and half wait. Again, never been to this place before, not sure how the dinner / bowling works and it was never explained to me. I really didn’t feel very welcomed. We didn’t wait around to bowl and will not be coming back.

Review №29

Poor service— about 35 minutes to get drinks (water, soda, beer). Another 30 to get food. After that, long wait for bowling (and that’s with the dine and bowl reservation), and pretty tight bowling area with couches facing each other, but folks not with your party facing you (awkward). Avoid- there is much better service, food, and lanes out there.

Went bowling with a few friends here, and we were not impressed. Service was super slow (so we just kept going to the bar to order food/drinks). Apps werent too bad, but I would definitely stay away from the pizza (I keep forgetting that there are NO good pizza places in the south). Oh, and bring hand sanitizer, because your hands will be [disgustingly] charcoal black after bowling (Ive NEVER had my hands get so dirty after bowling).

We went today for the second time around 3 pm, everyone was very nice and attentive. Our server Anthony was amazing with us. Honestly I wish more servers were half of the person he is. Made our bowling experience so much fun. We will definitely be coming back here more often. We ordered their loaded nachos with buffalo chicken and it was amazing! Definitely recommend.

Trendy place to go at night for bowling and drinks. Nice clean place with service at your lane. I think you can also order food but we did not. Good time but it is a little harder to bowl as dark as it is. Not even light midnight bowling. This doesnt take away from the fun unless you are super competitive. This is a small establishment so you need to get there early or possibly make reservations if they offer them.

Went in for a quick lunch right at 12 noon. Manager and waitress/bartender gave excellent customer service and we’re super sweet. Wish I had gotten their names but I was in a hurry (they were that awesome). Also had a great experience earlier this week with an excellent gentlemen who was working the bar around the same time yesterday. I’ll definitely be back and really appreciate the staff for their kindness.

Review №41

Bad Service all night, deserves negative stars. We reserved a table for 4 of us at 730. Upon arrival the host told us he will find us when our table was ready which was odd. We watched 3 groups walk in and sit at a table. After 15 minutes we asked when we would be seated. The host finally gave us a table. (5 empty tables in the background) Next our server took 20 mins to bring drinks and never brought 2 waters like we asked with our cocktails. My husband had to go to the bar to ask for 2 waters. Half of our food was cold and the person carrying our food had no idea which table it belonged to. (Not our server) We attempted to play games but the card machine wasnt working either. We should have celebrated at chuckie cheese for our business dinner. We will never come back again, nothing went well. $105 waste of time and low quality food.

Bowling was fun, a little more expensive than the average bowling alley, but hey, you’re paying for an experience. There were some technical difficulties with the lane, but nothing that couldn’t be easily fixed with the score correction.Our server was fantastic (shout out to Collin!). He was very polite, well mannered, on point with refills and checking in, and gave delicious menu recommendations.

Have visited a few times now and haven’t been disappointed. Bowling has been fun and service has been great. Bummed ping pong is now longer available but I’m sure it wasn’t getting the traffic the arcade will see. We look forward to returning in the future for a few hours of fun.

Review №47

I’ll go ahead and give it 3 instead of 2 because I have had previous good experiences and the food and drinks were good. We tried to go last night with plans to put our name on the list - and eat dinner while we waited. It was a Saturday night so we knew there would be a wait. My friends got there earlier than everyone to put our name on the list and we’re told and hour to an hour and a half - no problem we’ll just grab some food. Well 2 hours later our buzzer went off only for them to say ‘oh we’re just checking on your numbers - it’ll be 30 more minutes. Well at 10pm (3 hours after we put our name down and we’re told 1.5 hours - and 1 hour after we were told it would be 30 more minutes) we left. I gave it 3 stars because the food and drinks were good though they are incredibly understaffed and while our bartender was excellent - it would sometimes it would be 15-30 minutes in between drink and food orders because she was so busy it was hard to flag her down! Service besides that was great. They really need more lanes or something!

I never usually write reviews, but when doing so it comes with either a superb experience or one that is the complete opposite.Going to Kings bowling I went because of a high recommendation from a peer at work. I had family visiting from NYC for the weekend and was looking for a great bowling experience.I did not make a reservation, but upon arrival I was told that the wait time would be 2 hours (I arrived around 1pm). I thought, okay 2 hours is long wait to bowl, but I’ve heard great things and decided to wait.We did not come with the intention to dine, but since we were waiting 2 hours we thought it could be a way to kill time. Our group order totaled about $150. Everything took a pretty long wait, but by the time we finished (we took our time) it was about 4:50.We had a pager that never buzzed the whole time and caused us to have to check in with the main desk. Upon checking in I voiced that my family was told we would have 2 hour wait. Even though we were waiting well over 2 hours nobody came to say anything and the fact that we have been waiting around 4 hours to bowl was unacceptable. Especially with no check in. I was then told that there were several reservations that only allowed 3 lanes to customers and would still have to wait 45 minutes. I then explained my frustration in hoping that was explained on the front end so I would not have waited and wasted my time.At this point I was done with this place for the sheer fact that there was very little communication on wait time and nothing was told on the front end. I was told and unrealistic wait time and on a weekend that my family came wasted 4 hours waiting. The food was fine, but in all honesty, could have had a better meal elsewhere and spend less.My recommendation to future customers is if you don’t want to wait to bowl, then go elsewhere. Our server was pretty good though and for the most part food was fine, which is why I have the one star. But to say that this place was a disappointment would be an understatement it was much less than that, especially when I arrived with such high expectations and a positive attitude. Save your money and go elsewhere. I will never be returning.

Came For a birthday gathering that was supposed to be at 6:45pm but wasn’t seated until almost 8:00pm!! I constantly asked the host (Dan) was our table ready and he responded several times being very rude..after nearly two hours of waiting finally was seated!! After being seated I had more guest show up and Dan was very rude when I asked if I could ask more seats..waiter(young girl) was very slow..you guys need to do better with hiring faster,respetful..and the food was disgusting

Have you seen the episode of Seinfeld where he rents a car??? Watch it if not, reservations mean nothing. We made reservations for 715 and were told it would be a 30 min wait to be seated. We were sat at 745 and were told that when we finished we would be at the top of the list for a bowling lane. At 845, as we finished our food, we were told it would be an hour and fifteen minutes before a lane was available. No thanks. The food and drinks were mediocre, the service was a mess. Wont be back.

If I could give this place a 0, I would! It was my first visit for a Birthday party and the birthday lady and guests were badgered to relinquish part of our reserved tables, every 10 minutes! The deposit is made in cash but refunded in play cards, that can only be used at Kings, huge red flag! It took forever for the food to come out and when it did, half of the orders were WRONG! My sandwich was picked thru and my fries were lukewarm, well when they came to find out how to make my order right, they turned right around and gave my first plate to another guest in our party!! I had eaten off of it-I was done after that! I will say that once my order came the second time, it was closer to right and was fairly delicious. When the manager came over to offer compensation for our poor experience that night, we were compensated in...you guessed it, more play cards! Great concept but poor management of even the best of concepts =a poor experience and it is unfortunate that my dear friend had to have her celebration hindered by a plethora of incompetence! I definitely will not be back and will definitely warn anyone that mentions this business to stay away as well!

This place totally outdoes any bowling alley Ive ever seen. Its massive and the lanes we were playing were in a private section with my company. It was a solid event; granted it was only for 2 hours with an open bar for our event, it was pretty wild. I cant believe the size and everything they offer - if I recall there was pool tables and I may have seen some video games though I forget for sure if thats the case. Having a full bar there was solid.

Review №59

The facilities looked super well taken care of (only used the bowling lanes and the arcade). It has about a dozen lanes, plus a small arcade. It also has three bars with sitting areas and a restaurant. The food that I tried wasnt very great, and the bottomless fountain drinks are $3.50 for a small Mason jar that never once actually got refilled. The staff hung around long enough to take your order and bring you your food, but didnt appear again until we were going to pay. To be fair, it wasnt busy and was in the earlier part of the day, but it would have still been nice to be offered a refill for my overpriced soda.Shoe rental was fair, but $6 per game per person is a bit steep. It definitely has a more adult atmosphere, so if youre wanting to avoid families this place may work. And aesthetically its pretty awesome. The music was way too loud though, and I had a hard time hearing my friends over the mouse. I cant imagine how loud it must be with all the lanes full ND the music blaring. But Id personally rather go someplace like Buffalo Lanes.

This is a fun and clean atmosphere. My wife, two boys, and I had a good time. The customer service could be improved. Our waitress was very nice, but some things out of her control made for an unpleasant situation. First, she was waiting on us at our bowling lane and working behind the bar. This made our drink service fairly slow. Next, we ordered our food. When our food came out, they let my wife know that they were out of the item she requested and she had to order something else. My boys and I were finished when her food came out. Finally, when the bill came, both the meal they were out of and the replacement meal for my wife were on the bill. My opinion in that situation would be that neither meal would be on the bill for the inconvenience. However they only removed the meal she didnt get. I believe this place is worth a second chance. I just hope they read this review and make efforts to improve on situations like this in the future.

What makes me give Kings Bowl-North Hills a 5 star review is how pleasant and accommodating they were during our recent team building event. Terri Overby, the sales & marketing coordinator, made sure we had everything we needed and upon arrival the staff was super friendly and made us feel welcome. Shout out to Kathy our server - always smiled and never made us feel like we were bothering her no matter how busy she was. I highly recommend this venue for a company event.

We used to come here on Mondays for some fun local trivia. They have since removed it from their schedule. I get it, in its prime the trivia night would have maybe 5-6 teams but it was still a great vibe. Jason, the trivia guy was hilarious.The service has varied from being extremely helpful to giving you enough time to go shop at the Harris Teeter next door before you see them. The food had a high point for us, we would get their mozzarella sticks every time as an appetizer and they were AH-MAY-ZING! However, theyve removed them and replaced them with mac-and-cheese bites, not nearly as good.I will say they have added a bunch of arcade machines and more importantly, Super Chexx bubble hockey. Sadly a single game costs $2 to play which is insane. If youre wanting a normal cost of the bubble, I suggest Boxcar or Lucky Bs (if youre drunk) where its only $0.50 to play. :-p

We had a larger party of 11. My daughter arrive 1st an misquoted our party size, she thought we only had 7. She was told we would wait 1.5 hours to bowl so we decided to eat. We were all sat and ordering by 530. We talked and laughed while we ate waiting on our lanes to bowl. By the time we finished it was 630-645. Our server, the only one that cared, asked if we were ready to bowl we said yes we were. So he said he was going to find a manager to she what the wait was. We waited and the server came around a couple times to see if the manager made it. Finally some young man came a little after 7 to tell us it would be about 15 minutes longer. Great! So I walked to the car and back to put the food away. Came back thinking they were getting ready to bowl. NO! We continued to wait until 8. That was 2.5 hours from our original arrival. Still NOTHING. No manager politely apologized for our wait NOTHING! By this time we decide to leave. We returned our buzzer for the individual to return our license. Still NOTHING! This was a waste of time. The food was ok, but wouldnt have sat there or eaten there if we thought we wouldnt be able to bowl. Dont waste your time unless you call ahead or have ALL the time in the world to wait.

Went to Dine & Bowl which is a bit misleading because if the lanes are taken up with parties/events there is a good chance you wont be able to bowl.

We got there and stood in line for someone to assist. There were about 3 people behind the desk. No one acknowledged us. Then a family of 5 came and walked right in front of us. One of the workers saw this and apologized after helping the family of 5 and offered us 2 free shoe rentals. We then proceeded to the lane...there was a phantom pin and the score produced inaccurate scores. All in all...it was a fun evening with my family and thats all that mattered but I cant go higher than 3 stars. We drove a bit of a distance but will chose something else next time.

My family and I came into this restaurant and gaming place on a Saturday afternoon. The restaurant was completely empty with the exception of 1 table. We waited 5-10 minutes before I finally asked a manager to take our drink order. We then waited another 10-15 minutes for drinks. The server was piss poor to say the least. I would not recommend this place to anyone to eat.

The wait staff is kind of hit and miss. Some are very attentive and some couldnt care less. The bowling is overpriced and the drunkards in adjacent lanes are obnoxious. The food is like Applebees on crack but more expensive. The management is great though and they have lots of stuff to do besides bowl. The desserts and shakes are good and, if youre drinking the have a lot of interesting drink choices for pretty high prices. Its fun for the kids during the day when its got a more sober crowd.

Beautiful bowling alley. Poor service at best, rude at worst. Have been twice and both times service was poor. Our server got an attitude when we had to ask someone else for our check since she was MIA for the whole 2 games we played. Never asked if we needed another round of beers. Then showed up to try and hurry us out of our bay as soon as we signed the check because they needed to seat another 3 people. 3 stars because it really is a beautiful setup.

Great environment for a chill spot , to hang out with family and friends. But NOT worth reserving for a child bday. I reserved my son birthday and the pizza were super small and thin. Cupcakes are mini cupcakes ... thank god I took a cake of my own. the space area is super small. Kids and parents were Crowded. You better off just taking your kids bowling instead reserving. Had a good time, but i will not reserve a birthday party again , not worth the price.

Theyll take your ID. Good luck getting it back. My husband had to give his ID to reserve a bowling alley. When our time was up and no alley was available, we cashed out and forgot he had to leave his ID. We came back the next day and were told that they dont know where his license is. There is an entire box of licenses (is that a problem we should address?) But it will be at least a couple of hours until someone will be able to look for it. Ummmm... Shady????

Very nice place. I liked trivia night. Mondays at 7pm. Jason is a good host.The reason why i am taking off points is because1 - the front desk girl did not check my military id when asked about the discount.2 - that poster can use some fine print about their actual military discount policy.3 - the customer service skills from the front desk can improve.Otherwise a very fun place for adults to have fun. I will try again. Maybe it was just an off night

We let the hostess know that we had not had any waitstaff to come by our table..... about 5 minutes later another party was brought Im and say right beside us. IMMEDIATELY a waiter went to their table to get them started.... WE THEN WALKED OUT. WORST SERVICE EVER!!!!!!!!!! We were never even offered a drink!! Menawhile if youre looking for good food and good service, we found it across the street at the Yard House

Great atmosphere, good food, and a cool place to have adult entertainment outside of the norm.

So this was my first time and probably my last time. It was slammed pack and extremely loud. Although ther waiter was lovely the service was really bad. It seemed s if they didnt have enough service to cover the amount of people present. It took an hour to receive food. Dont think Ill go back. Its just not for me but its a lovely place with a great setting.

I attended a corporate function here on a Thursday afternoon. I did not even know this place existed.We had the best damn time.The service and the food was absolutely perfect. Did I mention the service was incredible?And with two parking garages nearby, parking was no problem.I hate fighting Raleigh traffic, but I will go back here.

We have lived upstairs from Kings for a year and a half and four days before we move decided to finally stop in. Im so glad we did. The new GM, Charles, is the absolute best. Our server for dinner was Kara; she is a rock star, and the food was delicious; kudos to the chef. After dinner we moved over to the bowling side and bowled two games. We had Collin as our server while bowling and he is the nicest guy youve ever met. These guys are doing it right at Kings: great food, great atmosphere, and the absolute best hospitality from everyone there. We will definitely be back!

First time and probably last! We had a reservation for a bachelorette party last night for a group of 14. We arrived on time and waited 15 minutes to get checked in. After getting to our party area (that had Welcome to Jessica’s Bachelor Party) on the screen we did point that out to our server and keep in mind we were there for a BACHELORETTE PARTY, we received a call from someone that worked there wanting to know if we were coming for our reservations. For a party that size we were given options for party cost. It was $550 for a group our size. That included the King Pin area (supposed to be a private area that everyone kept walking through the middle of us). Shoe rental for each bowler. 2 hours worth of bowling. We were there trying to setup bowling for 20 minutes before anyone came to greet us or assist us, which cut into to our 2 hours. Service was slow and less than. We ordered beverages and it took 12 to 15 minutes every time to get our refreshments through our server. We started going to the bar ourselves to get our beverages. After 20 minutes waiting on our server to return he came back with another tables drinks and not ours and informed us if wanted food the kitchen was backed up. Together we all made the best of it however for the price and service we received I would second this choice for a large party or group. It was very hard for us to even tip our server due to the lack and quality of service we received, but as the right thing to do I managed to convince our party to leave a tip.

This place is not bad. I ordered the BBQ wings and fries a la carte. The server indicated that everything was made cook to order. Well when my order was presented to me the fries were slightly warm (it wasnt crowded that night either) and the chicken tasted as if it had been sitting for a while, and all they did was add extra sauce. I sent my food back. Upon return the food was better the fries were hotter and so were the wings. My friends and I also opted to do the bowling after dining. This was great Until another couple came. It was very awkward getting around all the players just to bowl. I felt it was a bit of an inconvenience. I would come again just not to eat.
