Review for bbq only. Brisket was fantastic. Ribs, however, were not great. Dry, flavorless. I think they didn't smoke them long enough or on low enough heat. They were tough and chewy. Baby backs should fall off the bone. No smoke ring.
We stopped in with family members to bowl a game as they had never experienced candlepin bowling before. We enjoyed the bowling but it took forever to order drinks at our lane. When they finally arrived we were almost done bowling so we took them to our table for dinner. The inside dining area was nicely decorated and pleasantly quiet. The new outside patio area with fire pits looked amazing. It's nice to see the much needed updates that they have made to the place. As far as dinner goes... The food was simply delicious. We enjoyed a variety of selections from the fried pickles, cheese burger, BBQ BLT, brisket sandwich and a pulled pork sandwich. The portions were filling. The service was horrible. It took some time to get the appetizer, we had to go to the bar to get a few water
The place opened up at 4 on a Saturday and as soon as the open sign was put out, people were there bowling and ordering drinks and food. Very lively atmosphere with people of all ages. Great spot to watch a game with bar and table tops as well as bowl and grab some food. Ordered some wings, which were very tasty. Also, I got a BBQ 2 meat platter. Ribs and brisket. The brisket was good portion and cooked well. Good smokiness and tenderness. Good sauce selection too. Ribs were a bit overcooked and dry. I'm not too picky so the seasoning and sauces made it half decent but otherwise would try the pulled pork next time. Sides were fine. Coleslaw alright but Brussels were good. All around reasonable prices and an affordable activity+food option for the area. Would recommend and will be back!
We just held our company Christmas party at The Alley, awesome time! The BBQ was excellent and the staff was kind and attentive. The owner was very helpful in helping plan the event and food. Bowling with the whole team was a great way to have fun and be competitive with the guys! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
An incredibly fun atmosphere and such great staff. We hosted our night-before wedding party here and had an absolute blast — Dave was super accommodating and the bar/waitstaff could not have been better. Our guests have not stopped talking about it. Thank you!
