Old Orchard Lanes

The Best pizza in town. They’re always consistent in their product is always great. The staff there is always on top of things. There are other food is also good great environment

Up until recently, my wife and I was a «once a week» regulars at Old Orchard Lanes. We would pop in usually on either Mondays or Thursdays between 11 am and 3 pm. We never went on weekends or after 5 pm due to the younger staff. The younger staff would not come to your table and wait on you. You had to go to the counter if you wanted any food or drink. The younger staff was not in a hurry to get our food out in a reasonable amount of time and actually once had them forget an item we had ordered and then tried to charge us. We found this out when we actually tried going there on a weekend. We only had one bad experience during our usual lunch experiences, the lettuce in our salads was old and bitter.
We went in today a little after 1 pm and was informed that their menu has changed. They trimmed the menu size down and got rid of some items that probably wasn’t the best cost efficient. Instead of a small and a large chef salad, they own have one size which was supposed to be between the old two sizes, The old small chef salad was $ 3.59 and the large was $ 4.59; now their chef salad is about the same size as their old chef salad. It is priced at $ 5.99. Basically, kept the old size and upped the price.
Did not see the same familiar faces of staff or management that we were used to seeing. My wife and I left wondering if they changed staff or even owners. Saw a sign stating they were looking for kitchen staff on our way out. If you asked me months ago my opinion on this place, I would have gave 4 stars as long as you went during lunch hours and maybe 2 stars on the weekends/​nights. Now, I can only give it two stars, sadly. If just bowling or drinking alcohol is what you want, then by all means, this is probably your best bet. Having a sit down meal is better served by going down the street to Applebee’s or Buffalo Wild Wings.

The pizza is awesome! It’s thin crust– highly recommend the spicy sleeper. Typical bowling alley bar– nice thing is they have a small patio if you feel like sitting outside. The bowling lanes are fine– but it can become quite crowded at times and sometimes unattended children.

Great pizza!

The Pizza is what makes the stop worthwhile. If it wasn’t for that; Bowling would just be Bowling.

Stopped in with family on a Friday afternoon around 430pm. There were many lanes available and we were quickly given shoes and designated a lane.
A member of my party ordered a pizza which smelled and looked delicious!
We played two games and paid when we were finished. It was a reasonably priced and fun afternoon activity! I would return.

This is my least favorite place in town to bowl. The lanes are not kept in good shape. I have a feeling the ball returns would damage my ball if I bowled there often, as they are rickety and seem dangerous. There are sometimes floorboards missing near the lanes, and the oil patterns are, well, let’s just say… adventurous.
Instead of calling it «Old Orchard Lanes», it could be called «Old Equipment Lanes». Everything looks dingy.
On the other hand, the mini-​golf that is connected here, is pretty decent. If they showed as much care for the bowling, then things would be a lot better.
This place is still always busy, most likely because it is easy to get to from campus.

Stopped in after attending the Home Show. Excellent ‘Monical’s’ 8″ pizza, crisp salad, soda, and a beer special, $ 9.01. Cant’ beat it. Sat near the bar in a sunroom, was quiet, warmer than inside, and had attentative service.

I would give five stars for the pizza, which is awesome; but the service here is just horrible. I come here at least once a week and the service is always poor. No refills, tables sitting dirty, lack of caring by staff, the list goes on. They really need friendlier staff and a bar manager. The bar staff have to wait on the tables, so depending on the night, the food can take forever.
I usually end up getting waited on by the blonde mentioned in a previous review. I like to refer to her as «smiley», because she seriously never smiles. Apparently, she’s not concerned with getting tips. She walks past dirty tables multiple times without cleaning them and never offers refills, boxes, etc unless you’re a hot guy. Pizza is amazing, service sucks.

I’m only rating them on their bowling, not food. I took relatives to this place and it was so welcoming and friendly. I’m a terrible bowler and we were just there to have fun and goof around with family. Sometimes I feel like an outsider at bowling alleys, because some people take it way serious. But during the day at Old Orchard, there were groups of kids, older adults, families, such variety! And everyone was having a great time. The staff was friendly, we had to have our computer set up for us and the man at the counter was super-​helpful. Clean bathrooms, lots of lanes and ample parking!

the only reason i am giving this place 1 star is because of the service we had at the lounge last night. i dont give may 1 stars… and it takes a lot for me to give 1. but i dont know who this waitress thought she was last night or if she was having a bad night… but she was by far the worst waitress i have ever come in contact with at a place to eat. it took forever for everything. she never once offered refills on any of our parties drinks, …i had to ask for more water and the girl didnt even replace the ice so i got warm water… had to send the cup back with the guy who brought over our pizza to get more ice, we asked for popcorn and she never brought the refills for that. it took forever to get our pizza. we had a good size party of 8, ordered 3 pizzas, they all came out one at a time and about 10 minutes apart of each other. it was horrible service.
which by the way the pizza was AMAZING!!! it was the closest thing to Monicals pizza i think you can get now. if i was rating this on the food it would get 5 by far, but i was soooo disappointed in the service i had to vent about how horrible this blond waitress with her «stay away from me diamond ring» was. from what i hear when you go there… ask for Nicky! she is the best!!! Sorry I was not able to get the Nicky Customer Service Experience!!!

Best place for pizza in the C-​U hands down! I’ve been eating pizza here since I can remember and it’s always good. Hint: they have Monical’s original recipe and use more cheese = better pizza! It’s a family run establishment and you can be sure the pizza will be first rate if Rhonda is in the kitchen cooking it up. Bowling, pizza and beer/​pepsi makes for a first rate night in the C-​U!
