    I can’t shake the feeling that I just got completely shafted by this place. I pre-ordered 50 wings for the Super Bowl. Online their price for 24 wings is $19.50, so I was really taken aback when they charged me $75. The bartender mentioned the spike in wing prices recently and that 24 wings is actually $27 now… but that’s $54 for 48, so why $75 for 50? The owner was there and I spoke with him and he spoke with the guys in the back, then tells me the reason for the difference is their catering prices have been updated to reflect the spike in wing costs but the menu prices have not. Everyone was polite so I didn’t press further on it, but I’m wishing I did. I just paid $20 extra for pre-ordering my wings. The wings are excellent and everyone was polite, but that stings and doesn’t feel right no matter how you cut it. I wish the owner had done more to make it right.

    Went at 4 for open bowling and paid for 3 games each for 2 people. At 5:10 we were asked to hurry up because of league games. League time posted was 6:15. If we were under a time constraint, it should have been mentioned when purchasing the games.

    We have always had fun at Slocum’s. Affordable fun. You’re paying for bowling, not a bunch of unnecessary gadgetry and visuals that would make the experience cost more than a trip to a theme park. Bumpers for the beginners. Good food too.

    Its a old time bowling alley.... its kinda small so good for parties. 13 lanes I think and the guy up front cared. Oh and it was connected to a bar, which was cool.

    You might think this small alley doesn't qualify but you're wrong. Ownership is very courteous along with fellow staff. Nice menu with specials along with healthy portions. Bartenders are adequate with drink specials. They also serve specials on food and drinks during NFL games. It is a cozy, children friendly atmosphere where the family can bowl and eat....

    Slocum's is a very well run, family owned & operated establishment that is welcoming to all who enter. They offer open bowling and many leagues for all skill levels. The bar and grille serves high quality, home cooked food at a reasonable price. They run Quizzo on Wednesday nights and offer specials throughout the week. Very friendly and knowledgeable bar staff, who will keep you coming back again and again. Slocum's is a can't miss for parties for any age group. The best run bowling alley in the area and operated by the greatest group of people I know. Don't waste your money going anywhere else.

    Slocum’s bowling is the best. Great environment. Great food. Plus the owner is a complete stud. Hell of a pitcher in high school. This guy would throw gems but the shortstop John Stevenson would botch every ball and ruin it for him. That’s why we nicknamed baby face John, because he would cry after. If you hate baby face John, and love bowling and food, then this is the spot for you.

    Tiny, old school bowling alley with a bar and food. Well maintained lanes and equipment. No frills, but that's not a bad thing.

    Service on the front desk was very bad - if you have strike - they don’t give you extra game to play , also if you go there by 9 pm - employee in the front don’t let you play - not a good service at all.

  • 1/5 Chowdhury H. 11 months ago on Google
    Highly recommend do not go to this place. There was no rush but they forced to finish the game early even forced to leave early with lots of bad attitude. Really sorry for the owner cause of their employees behavior.

  • 1/5 Patrice D. 1 year ago on Google
    Prices were decent but that was all that was good. I was there around like 1 pm and the kitchen didn't open until 4 pm. Bummer. Not a place for the younger crowd either.
