This was a big bowling alley with 40 lanes. Each with its sitting table for eating because the robot brought you your food! ?? Fries were large and fresh out of the grease! Smart move they come with no salt so have the shaker ready. Ketchup and mustard provided in each area. ?? is available. They also have a bar. It's almost time for an upgrade. Bathroom was nice and clean and there had been a good crowd. The staff was busy and very helpful!
Great lanes. Very nice center with awesome pricing. Really enjoyed my practice session. Wear your soles designed for tacky approaches. Large drinks are massive 44oz. ??
Be aware when ordering food at the kiosks near the kitchen. They automatically add an 18% gratuity to the final bill, with no option to adjust or remove it. I didn't notice at first?it only became clear when I checked my receipt. The process also asks you to sign on the screen, similar to adding a tip at a sit-down restaurant. There's no signage or information anywhere in the establishment about this policy. Tips should not be mandatory, especially when you're ordering while standing at a kiosk, having a ro
Great bowling alley!! Fun for the whole family. Pool tables, arcade, restaurant, pro shop and bowling!! Plenty of lanes and plenty of fun for all ages. I brought the whole family for 1$ games on Monday night. We had a really good time. We played pool while we waited for the lanes to open up. Then my wife and I bowled with our Sons. Great place, we will be back!!
Did a corporate event and had an amazing time. Food was fantastic, selection was huge, and staff was amazing. Definitely will be back in a few months to do it again!!!!!
Amazing food and drinks, had lots of fun for the Galentines event????
Love bowling here. Great food and the bar staff is amazing! And did I mention the robot that brings your food to your lane?!
Great bowling alley with friendly staff!
Really fun place lots of TVs to watch the game! Pool tables plastic tip darts and putt putt golf video game in the bar. This is not a typical dive bar! There is a huge game room! Games are a bit pricy $1.25 or more per play but great daily bowling deals. Beers are a bit too pricey for me but maybe not for you. Cheapest beer is $4
Had a blast! We love coming here. Easy going atmosphere. First visit where we had a problem with balls getting sick but with the push of a button they were quick to get them to return. The food was unfortunately not good at all though. The pretzels were hard and the cheese sticks were meh. The tap wasn't working so we couldn't get a pitcher. We do enjoy playing darts after we finish bowling but you should know if you want to play cricket the dart board is a little finicky. The staff was super friendly. Norm
As a longtime customer this visit was disappointing due to the fact that they are offering a 9 to 12 earlybird special. We show up at 11:30 knowing The leagues have full control until the games are done so I was put on the waitlist and We go to the lounge pay for pool food and beverages. Waiting our turn. I get called up to the front desk at 11:54 and told me the offer is not valid. As a business owner any specials I advertise online are 100% guaranteed. I am a frequent customer one to two times a week, ent
Totally trashy ppl here, gross, dirty. Don't bother unless you want to get mugged or deal with screaming ppl over a 2 year old getting a pin down. SMH. Don't know how to behave at all in here.
Great afternoon bowling with our daughter. Believe it or not it was her first time bowling. The shoes did not smell and the rest room was clean. A nice older man said he is a bowling coach and gave us some tips. Plenty of parking and easy to get to location. We will be back.
My first time at BCB bowling in Brandon Florida. After dining in.... Playing billiards, yes had a few drinks. Then bowling...The bar and staff would not give me water if I asked for it. They told me I had to buy a bottle of water. I informed them that is was illegal to do refuse someone who has been drinking water! Whether it was tap.... That is why I gave them a 1 star rating.
No mask required Service dog ?????friendly Isaac and I come here for his friends Birthday party ??. The Bowling alley was a lot of fun. It was a great place for both the adults to have fun and let awesome steam as well as the kids. I love the ramps they had available for the kid's to use it helps the kids a lot. There was plenty of room for everyone one to move around freely. I like how they had the game section in the front so you don't hear it as you bowl. The atmosphere was cheerful and friendly. A
Had the best time celebrating my father and father in laws 60th birthdays here!!! The staff was pleasant and the place was nice. We also come for the Browns games and have so much fun with the Browns Backers and our fav Bartender, Lauren! The food is also very tasty. 10/10 would recommend!! And s/o Cat!
Great prices and a cool bar next door. The bowling part is great but the bar has watered down drinks and shitty food. I had 5 separate food items and did not like anything.
Just wanted to thank Lauren and Cat for a great time. We celebrated 2 - 60th birthdays and dressed up in tie dyed shirts, wigs, headbands and many other items from the 60's. It was a blast from the past. Would definitely recommend Bowling at Brandon Crossroads.
Great lanes, great service, the leagues for kids are great. Honestly one of the best alleys on mid-Florida.
The staff was friendly and helpful. The food comes out timely and hot but on the pricey end for a bowling alley. I was part of a birthday party and the hostess was attentive and nice. I would definitely recommend this venue for events albeit be prepared to spend a decent amount of money. This is paid in the form of up to date decor and all digital touchscreen machines. Definitely an upgrade from the usual neighborhood bowling alleys.
Cari is very helpful and tries very best to recognize repeat customers. James also does a nice job of being helpful.
Great bowling alley! Everyone was friendly. Love the bench seating at the lanes, and the robot food delivery was a pretty cool touch! PS, the food was delicious too!!! I'm not sure why EVERYONE was at Pin Chasers today, when BCB had lanes open and at a more affordable price! Hands down, check them out! We will definitely be back!
Good times and good vibes !! Best place get a drink after work!! Better than the club drinks !! JENNY IS the best bartender ever!!
Family friendly, great atmosphere, always clean, with top-notch service.
Place has come a long way. Havnt been here in 15 years and the updates are spot on. Food prices are excellent... except they charge $4 for a side of tots lol. Must be a typo. Come on sundays for early bird specials. Highly recommended!
They have robotic waiters but their employees are still overworked? everything else is fine
I am visiting and Martina the Bartender was Amazing. Great service with a Smile. She is a real asset to your bar. She was extremely busy with a lot of people at the bar and working drink orders deofrom the lanes but was timely and still courteous.
Had a fantastic time at Brandon Crossroads Bowl celebrating a family member?s 60th birthday! The facility, food and staff (especially Cat and Lauren) were all great!!!
Lunch was great! They have good options and Jessica?s service is always terrific!
Every single staff member that I interacted with, from the bowling check-in area (even with what I'm assuming was a training shift for one of the people), to service bar, to pub bar was pleasant and easy. Only other bowling place I've been to around here was Pin chasers and the staff there could afford to take some notes. happy we didn't have to drive to Tampa or Lakeland. Would 100% recommend this place and come back.
Food was good. Vibe was chill. Music could be better.
Had fun celebrating a couple birthdays over the holidays! Thanks to Lauren and Cat for the great time! Definitely would book another party!
I just want to tell you about my experience here last night!! We came in and it was busy as heck! Great for them we went to the bar and it was slammed!! I want to say the bartenders behind that bar were absolutely amazing!! One was singing and dancing! Those two young ladies had smiles on their faces and were pumping some drinks out!! Those girls were running back and forth back and fourth none stop!!! We had great service I don't think anyone one waited long at all!! They did a great job and wanted you all
I love it when everything is a good deal! We went on a Sunday evening and got shoe rentals with three games for four people for $50! That's awesome! We realized that we should have went on a Saturday instead because they have a deal going on for 6 people and a pizza at $54.99 with free shoe rental! Regardless, it was a great time and the lanes are organized very well. Employees removed prior balls that were left from the people who used our lane before and I mean, it was a great time. I have no complaints
The food and atmosphere was great! Our bartender Martina provided amazing services. Her drinks didn't disappointment. Come see for yourself!!
Food is mediocre at best. Cooks don't seem to have an ounce of care, as you can see that clearly displayed on their faces. However, disregarding the food, that is not the issue with this place. There seems to be no adult supervision with counter workers, technicians. Only adults I see working are in the bar. Lanes are CONSTANTLY failing, and take WAY too long to fix. Be prepared to be told, "have patience". I should not have to hit the button for Lane service 5 times before I get an unenthusiastic, lack of
Worst customer service and experience I experienced from him, apparently he only works in the back and the establishment receives plenty of complaints regarding the guy pictured. Kaleb rectified everything and made it an awesome experience. Avoid this guy at all cost. He's rude and just has no class.
We were here for a tournament and it was very well done by the facility. Little wait, clean bathrooms, and decently priced bar. Would be happy to visit here again if I lived in the area.
Lots of fun. Excellent service, bowling alley food is great! Very busy when we went but everyone was friendly and a good time was had by all!!
Family Friendly Fun!! Decent prices..Laid back atmosphere..And even a Game room
Bowling is fun but I really need to do some more practice. This was unlimited bowl on Thursday night and my moms birthday. We had a ball! Music was good and the lights made it even more exciting. We had wings and pizza. It was tasty.
It's been a while since I've been here but I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the nice renovations they did. Took the kiddos bowling for the first time and we all had a blast. The staff was friendly and helpful. The price was right for bowling. Food was good like I remember it.
Fun place to hang out at! Coolest people work there...
Fun atmosphere. Good staff. Jenny and Lauren are fantastic at the bar. Came here from out of town with friends. Having a fun time. Super clean here too. The little robot managed to accidentally scare me out of my skin (it's so cool though!!!) The drinks are nice. Love the fries!!!!!!
Very friendly staff, best bowling pizza I've ever had, well maintained (smooth) lanes, and up to date technology integration. Great place to take the kids, with the per bowler automatic retracting bumpers. A bar area is attached but separated with double doors inside in case you need a stronger drink. No drink refills on tea, but huge cup sizes.
I have been bowling here for the last 4 years and we keep coming back because of people like Kim at the front desk. The entire staff at Brandon bowl is awesome. We wouldn't even think of going somewhere else.
We had a great time. Whole family bowled 2 games. Very clean place. All updated. It was the kids first time bowling. They handled the 6 lb balls just fine. We had some tasty fries with nacho sauce. Afterwards we played in the arcade for a bit. The kids got plenty of prizes. Staff was all very friendly and helpful.
Been here a few times. Gotta say I will only come here when Martina is working. She is amazing! She actually remembered what I like and as I sat down my drink was in front of me. Absolutely amazing!! I'm not sure if this has ever happened in my life. I gotta say you feel something special inside when you walk in a place a few times and then sit at the bar and the bartender has your drink in front of you. Wow!!! Best bartender i think I've ever seen. Super nice and super efficient. She is an asset. I will
Yuh know, it was alright. Truly the food seemed kinda good although didn't try any. The first lane they put us in was broken but luckily they had one more open and got to use that one. The ball selection was scarce. But the other than that it was cool..kinda in a sketch location if I'm being real.
I've gone here since I was a small child on field trips and family outings. I return to this day because I like the food, clean atmosphere, and the bowling ! The ladies behind the bar are fun, welcoming, and ALWAYS working their butts off to make sure everyone is being taken care of. Jenny & Martini are my faves and always will be ! My fave is the cheeseburger and the club sandwich, never disappoints !
To say that this bowling alley has gone down hill is an understatement. For starters, I got harassed by other patrons for bowling in my own lane. Then I have to ask, why bother renovating the inside of the business if your employees' customer service skills are literally the worst? The employees at the snack bar will ignore you for 15 minutes before telling you that you have to use the kiosk to order or pointing at a random pitcher of soda, then look at you as if YOU are the stupid one for not magically k
Great bartenders, especially Lauren. Never a dry glass or empty bottle ?? Supervisors are on the ball. James is a awesome. This is a great crew that keeps the flow of fun and positive energy sailing to the extreme max of enjoyment! Way to go!!!!!
We did a Team building today and the service was amazing and the food was great! Hats off to Tiki and William for the great service!
It was my first time here and Martina was amazing! She was inviting, quick, and funny! Definitely will be back
This a "must go" place..the bowling alley is very good and peppered with wonderful song videos n super ambience ..Brandon crossroad bowl also has a gaming zone other than bowling alley and that too is very nice with amazing games...it will make ur weekend supercool ..
We love it here! Everyone is always so friendly and helpful. We had an especially memorable experience with Tiffany last week. She overheard my son having a meltdown over marinara sauce, and was waiting with a cup in hand before he could ask. Thank you!
The first thing I would like to share is that the attendant who assisted my family during our trip is Kim. Kim is one of the kindest souls I'll ever have the pleasure of meeting. My Father, Mother, Daughter and I went to Brandon Crossroads Bowl and we had a great time. When the attendant noticed my daughter may need extra help, she gracefully asked if she could help. She was so genuinely helpful too! With hands on instruction and a lane to practice on her own in! My daughter improved so quickly and had an e
The place is fine, but the wings are TOOOOOOO salty!!!! It was supposed to be Lemon pepper and it tasted like it was salt salt. The drinks are DEFINITELY watered down!!! I even asked for my second drink separated in two different glasses and you can definitely tell how WATERED DOWN their bottles are. The place is nice, just work on your food and drinks for the one that know a bit more than your regular people. ??
Martini took SUCH good care of us. She was so professional and able to handle the rush for cosmic bowling in such a way, we thought she was the manager. She had to have been taking care of 7 customers to everyone else's one. I've been in the service industry my whole career. Martini, thanks for making our date night the best! Now to get some rest!
Geo one of the managers solved all the minor issues we encountered with our visit which I appreciate so much! My family is from SC and we're in town because my brother?s ship commissioning. Thanks Geo! Loved the facility nice and clean.
Fantastic! Kids loved it. Very clean and comfortable. Super staff!
I had a great experience! Martina was my bartender and her service and attention to detail was stellar! I'll definitely be returning! Thank you!
Great facility, plenty of room for customer to sit and watch bowling tournaments. Food was good and the little service robot was cool.
This was my first time going bowling and their receptionist Kim made the experience even more uncomfortable than it already was going to be. Upon arrival she greeted us with a dirty look and an attitude. Someone in my party smelt of marijuana (a medical card holder) and before we were greeted Kim made sure to roll her eyes stomping towards us & make a comment loud enough for us to hear it to another worker telling him to go spray the front entry way bc it smelt of ?pot? and then once she was in front of us
Pros -Clean bowling alley -Clean bathrooms -Friendly and helpful staff -Child friendly environment -Ordering kiosk is easy to use -Good food and drinks -Robot delivery is fun and entertaining -Good music -Bar side had 2 'good enough' pool tables -Never felt too crowded Cons -Only 1 bartender on a Friday night meant long waits (though the 1 bartender was nice at least) -Pricing for games is slightly confusing and unnecessary complicated depending on what time you are playing -Not a lot of big bowling balls.
The front desk personnel was amazing .. Thanks Kim... The inside was nice and clean.. Great number of balls to select from.. But the outside was like a desert storm.. No sign paint chipping.. If I wasn't from the area I would not know what this place was.. This place needs a SIGN
They said share some places, but the be sky was full of birds so I guess you got to blow that sky up
Love BCB but especially the bartenders. Jess and Genny are the best out there. ??
Extremely clean! We had a blast bowling. It's a little further drive for us, but worth it.
I went to this place to have a good time but the lady named Kim made it the worst possible experience for me and my family, I do see how they treat the people of different color here differently, I hope who ever reads this understands that your being judged for the way you look the minute you enter this place. Please be very wary. I will not return here for the treatment we received.
Tonight was my first time at BCRB but DEFINITELY not the last!! Baby we had a ball, we've gone bowling at several other places but tonight BCRB won with me. As soon as we pressed the button for assistance a lane attendant appeared so fast I thought he was using the lane beside me. The food was A1 we had nachos, wings, tenders, flatbread, and poppers(group of 8 LOL) ordering was easy but the kicker was the cute little robot that delivers the food to the table. LIKE REALLY LOL a robot she was super cute, the
I think the lanes are great, but the facility as a whole could do better. My observance of the snack bar made the food sanitation to be a bit alarming. No one in the snack bar wore a hair net or proper cooking wear. Only one person wore a hat, but had an untamed beard. Then a staff member was hovering over the food toppings (lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, etc), and was swinging her hair from one side to the next, letting it drape in the food. No gloves worn, nothing. My second observance was that of the Heroes
My wife, myself, and a married couple of friends visit occasionally. The Alley itself is in pretty good shape. The lanes never really give us any issues and the scoreboards are easy to use. While the food isn't that great, it's still not "bad" and can easily tide you over until you eat something else later. I've had a few times were the chips were slightly soggy etc. It can often get busy there so sometimes the food takes a little bit. The bar is definitely pretty nice as well. I've had the same Lady-B
First time here and it was great!! Great crowd, good energy and vibes, mix of young, old and families...great prices...very family friendly... Didn't get a chance to try any of the food but hope to next time..4/5 stars due to slow bar service but I can understand from busy Saturday night
I come here every week with my husband. 2 weeks ago bartender refused to give me a cup of water when they were sold out of water bottles, even asked manager for water he also refused upon returning back this past Friday I watched the same bartender give a white woman 2 LARGE CUPS OF WATER!! When I asked her about it she says it's cause she's a regular. ??????? then when I came back to the bar to get another drink she refused to even serve me yet alone acknowledge me at the bar instead told another server to
Great spot for corporate events! They were super cool and nice to set up an event and it wasn't too expensive. Great buck for the experience. Everyone had a great time ??
Went here last night and was treated absolutely horribly by the food staff. I put in food at 10:25pm through their kiosk, waited 20 mins with no food being put out. Kept going back for updates where no one was to be found behind the counter. Finally my friend comes up and tells me they threw away my food and I need to grab the manager for a refund. I go up and politely ask for a refund, very confused as to why my food was, ?thrown out.? The girl in the neon green shirt EXTREMELY rudely said it was MY fault
Bcb has been my hole for two years staff is welcoming! Summer she super nice and carrying and always there to help, page is always good at cooking the food and getting it out fast, and Sami she always there to help when needed and allways happy!
Absolutely the worst 1st experience by a bartender named Mariah, she is a racist and very unprofessional,rude, and no customer service skills.
Luis went above and beyond to take care of us after another local bowling ally ruined or reservations for our 6 year old's birthday. Seriously amazing customer service from the whole BCB crew. Thank you so much for saving the day!
150+ dollars for a family of 4 for 2 games of bowling and food. Bowling was good, but the food was terrible. 79$ for dried chicken wings,a BLT that looked like a toddler made it and the flat bread pizza was disgusting. We also spent 30$ in the game room where half the games were inoperable. So 180$ total and a total disappointment.
Best bowling alley I have been to! The food is always great, bartenders are superior and Mike the manager always looks out for his customers and plays the best music for Cosmic bowling! If I could leave more than 5 stars, I would. I bowl in numerous leagues at this bowling alley and it's nothing less than a great time every time bowl. 12/10 recommend!!
Good place to play bowl and enjoy the food.
We go about once a week there for lunch. We have Jessica that is always friendly, remembers us and what we drink. She is a great waitress and the food is always very good.
Been going to this place for a few years but today felt like my family was unwelcome by the staff. After paying for the games we were not allowed to use bumpers and the reason given was no one over 10 can have bumpers. But 2 lanes over, adults were playing with bumpers on. This place seems to have double standards. When I asked to speak to the manager, I was told that we need to learn how to bowl. I felt very insulted. Manager was no help either and left the place. I seriously felt humiliated. Bill used to
Worst experience at a bowling alley ever for multiple reasons. 1. My wife is not strong and does not bowl often. I play well, so to make it more competitive and fun for her, we have always used bumpers. The lady at front desk refused to allow us to play our 2 games with bumper. Over half of my wife?s throws went into the gutter. Not fun. The manager said that ?adults are ruining the bumpers so we enforce a 10 year old limit?. Yet in the lane next to us, several kids were overhand throwing bowling balls, da
My company hosted a team meeting in their conference room - it's all set up with seating and A/V support and even has a nice projector. They served us breakfast sandwiches in the morning and we ordered off the menu for lunch. The staff was very helpful and the food was really good. Of course, we bowled all afternoon and that was a blast. It's a really good place to host a meeting and then have some bowling fun after. Kudos to the Crossroads Bowl team.
Let me just say, I've been to a few bowling alleys in my days, but nothing comes close to the experience I had last at crossroads bowl. the customer service provided by Kaitlyn and Gene was above and beyond, providing me with a personal catered experience you don't see anywhere else these days, an art lost on MANY places these days. Not only this but they managed to do so while being slammed by the Friday night rush. You can be SURE to find me coming back again and again.
It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.
Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.
Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.
Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.
Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.
Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.
Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.
No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
Absolutely, retro games in arcades remain a thrilling draw in 2025! Classics like Pac-Man, Space Invaders, and Street Fighter II offer simple yet addictive gameplay, blending nostalgia with timeless challenge. Modern arcade cabinets often feature crisp displays and restored controls, enhancing the experience. These games thrive on quick reflexes and strategy, with vibrant pixel art and iconic soundtracks that spark joy. Arcades host tournaments and leaderboards, fostering a lively community. While modern games dominate, retro titles provide a unique, accessible thrill that keeps arcades buzzing.
Yes, pool tables in arcades remain a fantastic draw in 2025! Games like 8-ball or 9-ball offer tactile, skill-based fun that blends strategy and precision. Modern tables feature smooth felt, responsive cues, and vibrant designs, enhancing the classic experience. Arcades foster a social vibe with casual matches or competitive tournaments, appealing to all skill levels. Unlike digital games, pool’s physicality—lining up shots, feeling the cue’s weight—keeps it timeless.
Arcade prize games are a thrilling highlight in 2025! Claw machines, skee-ball, and ticket-redemption games like basketball offer a rush of skill and chance, with rewards like plushies, toys, or electronics up for grabs. Modern machines feature vibrant lights, digital scoreboards, and responsive controls, amplifying the fun. The lively arcade atmosphere, with cheering crowds and buzzing energy, makes every win feel epic.
