This place kitchen is very good the service is amazing easy place to get a good breakfast o dinner . I just for a drink good wine selection and beers . Great service.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with kids of any age who arrive before —bumpers keep younger bowlers in the game and the kitchen handles everyone from breakfast to dinner. Weekday afternoons offer the most relaxed lane access before leagues and evening crowds fill in.

“Love the atmosphere and lights. Food and drinks are reasonable. Bowling for 2 for a Friday night was a little spendy but worth it!”
Saddix
“This really is a good place to hang out, grab a bite to eat, or go bowling. Would have given it 5 stars if it weren't for one cook there.”

Overview
A locally owned Northeast Minneapolis institution, Elsie's pairs 16 fully automatic bowling lanes with a full-service restaurant and bar. Bumpers are available for younger bowlers, and weekend cosmic bowling adds sound-and-light show theatrics. The kitchen runs breakfast through late dinner, covering prime rib, gourmet burgers, steak, seafood, and salads. Open bowling runs daily. The 21+ rule kicks in after , so daytime and early-evening visits are the window for families with kids.
