“Went to go bowl, plenty of time before the league started. Was told no. Very rude. Then went to order pizza. Once that was done, we went to sit at a table and the manager ( older gentlemen with gray hair that's receded) proceeded to walk over and tell us we couldn't sit at a table as they were reserved for the league. Again no one was around. No one here. We were in there for max an hour just to eat or pizza. The service was horrible.”
