    Lots of parking
    Great for kids and families
    Food is alright but it does the job

    To get to the bowling alley is a bit tricky the first time, but just follow google maps or whatever.

    We've been coming to Sea Bowl for several years. It's reliably clean, you can almost always go bowling without having to wait for an open lane and there's plenty of parking in their private lot.

    But the lane charges? It's becoming the reason to go spend money elsewhere.

    And today they greedily raised the hourly rate from $40 to $45 because of the MLK holiday.

    Add in shoe rentals, buying time so five kids can hurriedly bowl a couple of games, food, soda and the arcade, you're looking at $175.

    Ouch.

    And they must get rid of the tip feature on the credit card reader. There's no option to decline (I chafed then meekly hit 15% the first time I encountered it). Hit zero to clear it.

    I tip well. I tip 20-25% at the grill but to tip when you're renting the lane and shoes? That's a "no".

    All that said, there are many great things about Sea Bowl: family fun; decent bar with terrific fire-grilled cheeseburgers, pizzas and bomb onion rings; an arcade to bid farewell to a roll or two of quarters; well-maintained and clean.

    Plus, the staff is always pleasant, especially VJ who deftly moves among the lanes cleaning up spilled soda, helping people set the score-keeping board or retrieve a wayward bowling ball. He has a sunny personality and takes such pride in his work.

    Sea Bowl, I like you lots but you'd make more money from customers like me who'd come more often if the prices were lower and you had a loyalty program.

    Had a great time. The bowling alley is clean, staff is nice. Decided to order the carne asada street tacos and it was a fantastic choice. Yummy!
    I will return. Very happy with my experience.

    I've been here a couple of times and over all have had an okay time. Tonight I was very disappointed first off the music was terrible! I went to the front and politely asked if we can change the music up a bit to something more current. The guy just looked at me, didn't respond . I had to come back again to politely request a music change so he finally did! But to only fool me after about 15 min he changed it back to what he wanted! Besides the music sucking tonight our lane kept getting stuck! We waisted about 15 min of our playing time, after paying $40 per hour! To top it off the worker kept going down to  bowl instead of tending to people at the service desk!

    Stay away, over priced and the general manager has a chip on his shoulder. Over charged me and got upset I wanted a refund at the food court, had to get a food manager to refund while I'm paying $40 an hour for my lane. Learn how to treat people
