I really didn't want to give this place a good review because I don't want everyone to know about it. Can't deny however that this is a great destination for a good meal with good atmosphere and you can walk right through the building to the bowling alley for even more fun. We had a 10-person group and they took great care of us all of our needs were met, everything was super fresh and from what I understand all the beef is local from Wilder. Everyone enjoyed their meal and the portions were very good. I had the 16-ounce prime with the loaded baked potato and it was top notch. I swear the loaded baked potato had a half a pound of bacon on it! We had onion rings as a appetizer and they were phenomenal! If you live in homedale you already know about this place! If you don't live in homedale it's worth the trip, great homestyle cooking with good people bringing it to the table. The bowling alley is a classic style lots of fun, computer scoring and I hear they have midnight blacklight bowling, and league bowling for all those dedicated bowlers. If you're in homedale go support a local business. You won't be disappointed.

Excellent- the BEST Grilled chicken sandwich I've had(bacon+jalapeno)idk what they marinated it in but they hit it out of the park. My husband had a killer rueben + homedale broccoli cheddar soup. We will be back to try the prime rib

We had our small work Christmas party at the Bowling Alley and the food (prime rib) was AMAZING. Everyone loved it. The whole meal was fabulous. Shyanne was our server and she went above and beyond and did an amazing job.

This place is a hidden gem. Classic American food at its best. Very large portions. The Reuben is filled with delicious pastrami. The chicken salad had a generous portion of chicken. The finger steak dinner was enough for two and was enjoyed very much.

The food was amazing. We are here 10/3/25. My wife had the prime rib and I the meatloaf. The best prime rib in town! And the meatloaf was top 5 ever! ABSOLUTELY NAILED IT! We'll see you again soon....

Went on a Friday night, there was a bowling league there, so other diners eat in the back room, which has plenty of room. Finger steaks were tender, good meat. Sweet server too.

We were passing through town and received a recommendation for this place. I didn't have the highest expectations being a bowling ally and all but wow did they prove me wrong!Large chicken portions, delicious sandwich. Definitely stop here if you are passing through or in the area! Will be back next time I'm in the area!
