Was absolutely disappointed that my family was gifted family passes that we weren't able to use. The manager at the counter working on 05-04-25 at 6pm informed us that they can not honer that deal because it is only a weekday special we offered to pay the difference in price and she was not willing to work with us at all they should state that on the card. Otherwise it's false advertising and should not be acceptable very very disappointed in the customer service received. Mind you the weekday price says $5
I love this place! I go with friends, my kids doesnt matter friendly atmosphere. I always get the same waitress Naomi!!! She is AMAZING I absolutely love her!!!! She always has a huge smile and a hug and she is so attentive. I always have to say hi when I see her! The whole staff is great but Naomi in particular seriously won me over. Its not the same when shes not working!!
Me and my husband went without our kids and it was the absolute best. We spent the evening playing the arcade games and loving it. The staff is amazing when you need help or just to make sure you are doing okay. I would recommend this for parents and kids to do or even date night. I would definitely recommend
I spent a terrific time here with my wife! There were many games to choose from, and the arcade was a lot of fun. Bowling also seemed like fun. There are many other restaurants in Ogden, so we didn't dine here, but we'll give it a try the next time.
Super fun place. Classic. All the fun things. Gel blasters were a lot of fun but my kids age 5 and 12 I thought they were a little too painful. All things considered this place is very fair on pricing. We spent about 2 hours here. Played a game of bowling. Play a game of gel blasters. And played tons of arcade games. Food was decent. Better than some bowling alleys. Made me feel like a kid again. My boys enjoyed it even my wife had a good time. We will definitely be coming back.
Had a really fun time here yesterday! We went as a group of 7 (young kids, teenagers and adults :). We went exclusively to play at the arcade, so we chose to go on a Wednesday because it's half-off. The credits cost the same as usual, but the games cost half the credits than usual. I feel it was a decent value, but I don't think I'd pay double on a different day to enjoy the same experience. We spent $100 for 528 credits, which they split between 3 cards for us at the desk (they could have done more if we w
Great experience. Shout out to Dani for helping me get everything scheduled, and Dainta for being our attentive host. The experience went smoothly, and it was great fun for all, kids and adults alike (and the gluten free pizza was pretty good too).
I absolutely Love Love Love Naomi! She has been amazing, and is seriously one.of.the main reasons I keep coming back! Me and my daughter and her friends really appreciate the amazing guest service!
This place was a lot of fun! It is located in a great location near a lot of storefronts and places to eat. Wasn't super busy, the bowling was great and the pizza was good! All the staff we encountered were very friendly! They answered all our questions and got us a lane within minutes. There are a lot of arcade games to choose from and win prizes. I would recommend this bowling alley to everyone!
Our party planner was perfect! She made sure drinks were full and food was timely. She shared their gluten free options for pizza. My son and his friends enjoyed the party.
A great time! Bowling and laser tag are great and affordable. The arcade is also great and everything was working when I went but credits go very fast, even with promo offers. (Maybe they have a half price night or something?) But, everything was nice and clean though out and Andy at the bowling counter was terrific - he was very friendly and made my son and I feel welcome.
The staff was really nice, the bowling and laser tag are fun but all of the games were out of order in one way or another and I came here for the arcade. Basketball game that doesn't give basketball, shooting game that cannot aim, every game has either a small or big problem. Really nice employees who listened to me though!!!
My good friend and I had planned a day of fun with her three nieces (9, 14, and 17 years old) and we spent more than half of it at the Solomon Center. A delicious lunch at Costa Vida, a few hours of fun at Skinny Dogz (formerly Fat Cats,) and then a movie at the Megaplex. We were surprised to find out that Fat Cats is now called Skinny Dogz, but it was the same great place we remembered from before. The girls were excited to play laser tag, so we did that first. I was very impressed with how modern and exc
I had our corporate holiday party here this year and was great. Prior to the event went over menu and what we would need for the event. The staff was very accommodating and very professional and reasonable rate. We cant wait to be back next year. Thank you again Skinny Dogs- The Home Depot Supply Chain
This is a great place for a date or just a family outing. They have daily specials for those people looking for a great deal. They have an arcade to keep busy while you wait for a lane or if you want to just go have fun playing games. Sometimes this place can get very busy but they do a great job at shuffling through people and getting people in and out without making you feel rushed. Everything is very clean and tidy which makes it a comfortable place. They also have a cafe so that you can get something to
The staff are amazing! It's a ton of fun comming here. Arcade, bowling, pool, and all that good stuff. I would say their lazer tag is super fun but it was malfunctioning the day I was there. That being said the round is super customizable and had features I've never experienced other places. I wouldn't nit pay for a party here though. Just invite your friends and accept that there's not outside food allowed in.
There's lots to do! The kids had a blast for hours. Ski ball was down ( my favorite) and my niece was cheated out of a bunch of digital tickets. So not perfect, but still had a great time! I bought each kid a $20 pass and it come with $4 bonus cash. That lasted us 2 hours of gaming.
What a fun Easter event!!! Thank you. My kids had a blast. The cars were epic and we LOVE Skinny Dogs!!!!
It was fine after we walked through the sea of homeless people lying in the hallway. Good enough for a one time but I definitely wouldn't choose again to come here.
Me and my family come here every other Sunday and do the 2 hr deal. We all love it and have so much fun. Only reason I'm giving it a 3 is because the 2 times the manger assist us he was very rude and when I asked a couple question he looked and answered me like if I was stupid. And they always crowd everyone on one side of the bowling lanes other half was completely empty. It's like they don't want to spread people and give them space for there own benefits(less cleaning) Besides that we love it and keep co
We had a great experience. We had our family Christmas party there. Skinny Dogz provided a hostess to help navigate between activities and serve our pizza. Great value! Grandkids loved it. We will definitely do this again. Deb
We are visiting our son and his family who are stationed here. We had such a great family experience and so impressed with the experience with restaurant side of it. My wife has celiac disease and they went above and beyond with accommodating her needs. We will definitely be back every time we visit. Thanks for everything!!
Love this place and ALI at customer service was amazing! My grandson is visiting from out of state and we will be back ??
Rick (the manager) and the 3 helpers behind the prizes were very helpful. The bowling was so much fun along with the latest video games. Later tag, and bumper cars were an awesome experience thank you for letting my son celebrate his birthday here, which they have birthday specials for friends and family in a semi private room.
We had good time! We went on Sunday paid $12 each for an hour bowling. We were able to play 3 games. We were group of 3. Shoes were included! Facility looked clean and organized. The lane glowed up with black light at 8 and the ambiance was pretty cool!
Filed a complaint about one of the managers in September that generally included how he said he would send someone to get my ball out of the ball return/pinsetter (and he didn't actually do it multiple times) and then he also flicked the pin deck lighting on and off on the lane next to me. If you care even remotely about doing well then this is not the place to bowl. To make matters worse I was never contacted regarding my complaint (I forgot about it until seeing ads on Instagram) which sucks. I used to li
Fun place! Cool bowling alley, large variety of games and cute laser tag & golf areas. It is a little pricey but a good outing here and there.
Good pricing! Had a kitchen kneads work party and they used my colors for decorating just had a great time
Worst Easter even ever. They didn't rope off areas for different age groups, so a bunch of adults and teenagers went in first and grabbed bags and bags of Easter eggs, literally, adults with no children walking around with multiple bags of Easter eggs they picked up, meanwhile our 5 and 2 year olds got NOTHING. Worst Easter event ever, and a sad excuse to get people in the door.
Naomi was working the foods we went in ona slow night she was so down to earth and willing to make our night such a good time and she as just so nice. Imma come back just because of her
They said 25 dollars for 2 kids to bowl for an hour and half and two 5 dollar arcade cards. When we show up at 8 15 they tell us there's a 2 hour wait to bowl. We let the kids play arcade games. The prizes where so little and cost way to mamy points. This place is a rip off.
Went for our kiddos bday.. a lot of games were broken and some others (with the claws) just went down and up and didnt even try to grab anything.. but took our money just the same. New laser tag was a fun replacement for the mini golf.
I'm from NY and come to visit my partner every few months, when skinny dogz was still fat cats it was our go to place for a date. It was definitely ?????????? then, and was a really great place. We went once when it was changed to skinny dogz and it was fine, but we went recently and are beyond disappointed. Their game settings are suddenly set to the BS setting that makes you lose. Had an employee straight out tell us the manager has the claw machine set to win only every 10 plays (if they win it) besides
We came today to bring our son bowling for his 10th birthday. We literally waited in line for 10 minutes with no one ahead of us. We had two associates look at us like deer in the head lights. When the blond female associate, finally helped us she was very rude and acted like she had better things to do then help us. Then we went to get drinks from the little deli yippee flat sprite....... We won't be back tell they actually start caring about there customer's Went to play in the arcade and it felt like
Fat Cats has good bowling, a decent arcade, some bumper cars that look ok, and a pretty good laser tag set up! The food that they served wasnt too bad though the prices were a bit high, but what do you expect from an entertainment center. The prices for activities listed above arnt too bad and they regularly have deal and events that make them even better. It's a fun atmosphere great for dates, parties, or just a fun time.
Guy over there is rude to employees and other customers. His name is Derrell and I would never come here agian most of game machines are broken and the bowling alley is broken too takes forever to boul
My husband and I came here to celebrate my birthday. We had such a fun time playing all the arcade games. The fries they make here are so good, too! Everything is so fairly priced. We definitely will be coming back!
Every Thanksgiving we bowl a couple games for all ages and spend a lot of money on video games.... Once a year tradition and an assortment of French fries that while hot really good served on a cookie sheet.
Took the kids bowling for an hour which was $52 and then our lane kept messing up, had to switch to another lane taking almost a full game out of our time, moved to the next lane and played with some problems also, then another family bowled on our broken lane and had the same problems, kind of crazy, first time going there since they changed ownership, don't know if I would go again due to problems and how pricey it was on a fri.,might go yo a local bowling ally next time
Great atmosphere and employees! Bowling is super fun and affordable. Arcade games are top notch. 5/5 would recommend.
Skinny Dogs is so much fun. I loved your car show and Easter egg hunt ??
They generally have really good specials and great summer prices. Even year round pricing is reasonable and I'm always looking for a good deal. The kids love it here at every age. The bowling & laser tag are great family or group activities. The arcade is a little expensive but the often have specials on the card/coin refills. I definitely recommend this place. It's always clean, the staff is always helpful and friendly and there are lots of choices of things to do in one place.
It's kinda cool but the employees are never around when you need them and all the games are out of order...? What's the point of going to an arcade when the arcade games don't work
I love this place and kelsey is the best she is so nice and always has a smile. You all are the best thank you for being the best
We can from out of town to visit our kids and celebrate our sons 18 birthday!! We had a blast! We especially love the laser tag and kept going back for more!! Kaitlyn was amazing and made laser tag so much fun!! We will definitely be back
My first thoughts do not bring your personal bowling ball here. I posted a pic of mine after a night of cosmic bowling. Not happy at all. Some of the staff is friendly and helpful. The bathrooms are usually a disaster,and are covered in gang writing. Beware of what they charge you for everything. There's always lots of new employees who don't know the price changes through the week or hours of the day. Have fun.... perhaps look into going to rush or boondocks.
I came here on a Friday night for a work party, and skinny dogs really came through. Our area was clean and we had a few servers making their rounds, one in particular who helped me and many others. Naomi. I saw her all over the place helping anyone she could, and quickly at that. Thank you!!
A fun way to enjoy celebrating a birthday and being together. Reserved to Lanes to make sure there was no wait.
Reasonable prices and a decent family evening cost. Mostly disappointed in the glitchy system and run down tables and poor condition bowling balls. This is our third visit in the last year. (Kids liked it) I don't think we bowled one entire game with out some type of system glitch. The pizza is good especially for the price, the drink machine has been broke which limits the soda options to only two types. I wish they would revamp the bowling alley since the other places are gone. Lots of people in the pl
Fat Cats Ogden is always a great way to get out of the heat of summer and enjoy .99? bowling until 8:00pm Monday through Thursday and then after 8:00pm, $8 unlimited bowling! Enjoy some snacks from Fat Cats Grill including pizza, burgers chicken tenders or choose from appetizers and sides. Our only issue that we had today was waiting for the one single cashier taking care of every guest. We waited for shoes for about five minutes. Other than that Fat Cats Ogden is the place to be on a hot summer afternoon!
We had fun bowling today with my hubby, Italian daughter, friend and her daughter. I'm grateful that Fat Cats has their $0.99 summer pricing. It's perfect for quality family time. This was our 2nd trip this summer. We love the fun atmosphere and especially the delicious snacks from #tailgatersgrillogden. I need to go back soon to play air hockey.
Horrible lanes at Ogden Fatcats. My boys went bowling last night and used our bowling balls instead of lane balls. Well they got stuck in their machine for 15 minutes and chewed up their bowling balls. They went and talked to the kids running it and they just said sorry here's another 10 minutes of bowling. I would highly recommend you go bowling somewhere else!!
This place used to be pretty popular but has gone downhill. Service is bad in all areas and the games are always broken. It took us about 30 min to get our money back from a machine that took our money but didn't work. What a waste of a day our granddaughter.
Easter event was amazing I love this place we will be back next year!!!!
Utter garbage overpriced rigged games claw has prize comes up opens then moves what a waste. Don't waste your money here
It is an okay bowling alley. Not a good place for someone who cares a lot about bowling. Problems with machine scoring game correctly. We would get spares and it would say we scored 9. They have new house balls which is nice but heaviest ball is 15. The bumpers are convenient if you have small children.
SO great to see Jackson the Karaoke Dude again! Awesome family-friendly singers. The room was packed and everyone was rooting for each other. So much fun. We'll definitely be back.
Would not recommend. After our recently visit, the food made our family so sick, we couldn't stomach anything for three days... my poor 5-year-old daughter was almost admitted to the hospital. Additionally, the place was dirty (e.g. sticky tables, food on the floor, unkept bathrooms). The staff was nice but management clearly needs a change.
Great place, great family fun for all ages!! We enjoyed bowling and the arcade, gotta always make family memories!!
Terrible lanes and crew, i payed 30 dollars and got 30 mins of bowling. an hour of problems and they gave us 5 mins for compensation
Saturday night Karaoke was amazing lots of fun songs perfect for the family we had a blast! Great food great service! Jackson the KJ was great and made sure that everyone got a chance to sing! Pat was great at the bar and took care of us! One of the funnest additions to Skinny Dogs!
This bowling alley has been a main attraction in downtown Ogden for years. I recently checked out the new Dave and Busters in Salt Lake City and hated it, remarking that Ogden already had the same thing for half the price. The next day I bowled for an hour and played a bunch of games for under $20 mid day.
We recently hosted our 6-year-old?s birthday party at Skinny Dogz, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience. From the moment I booked with the team, everything was seamless and easy. Having hosted numerous birthday parties at home, this was by far the easiest and least stressful one yet. We were assigned a dedicated party host for our two-hour event, and it made all the difference. Dainta, our host, was amazing?she handled all the logistics, from setting up the kids on the lanes to handling all the foo
We had a great time playing arcade games as an after school activity. When you load your card you actually get bonus money, ie buy $20 get $5. The staff was pleasant and it wasn't crowded! Mom win!!! We were there on a Monday around 4pm
Front desk was awesome at splitting points between cards so we can purchase more of the bonus points. And the laser tag was the very best functionality I've ever used. The laser was visible and actually shot where I was aiming!
Bowling by the hour? Really. 3 of us went. First off, 10 minutes into the game, our lane broke down. Took them 10 minutes to get us a new lane, We were on our last frame on 2nd game and time ran out. They told us they would give us 1 minute to finish up or we would have to pay another 25.00 to finish. REALLY THEY SUCK, MACHINE MALFUNCTION IS NOT OUR PROBLEM. I suggest going somewhere else
We love to go on half price Wednesdays. The games are usually in good working order and if one isn't, you can easily find someone to help out. Always clean and a good time.
Kaitlin (food), Jennica (front counter), Bear (technician), and Scott (manager) and the rest of the team at Fat Cats Ogden provide an incredible level of great customer service! We recently went for a night of bowling and fun, and they were very gracious hosts, and ensured we had a wonderful time! Thank you, Team Fat Cats Ogden!
Fun and very nice employees go visit it it's worth it!!
Love thunder alley the games are awesome and the DJ isn't too bad! It would be even more amazing if I won the lava lamp. Also star lord is the hottest!
Very busy. Great staff. Had an enjoyable time.
The tables still had the last groups beer pitcher, cups and food spills? for a $50 activity :/
We are a non profit in Ogden Utah and we took a group of our kids to play laser tag, they loved the experience and KYRIE who assisted us through the whole process. She was amazing and couldn't have asked for a better experience thanks to her. And the rest of the staff can't wait to come back.
Fun family experience but really pricey.
We had a great time bowling cosmic bowling and playing arcade games with the kids. We highly recommend this place.
Went on a Monday during the day and were the only ones there. It was fun to have the whole place to ourselves. The staff was friendly and helpful. My kids had a blast playing and went home with lots of fun prizes.
Came in to Skinny Dogz while in town visiting family. Had a wonderful experience! Isiah was patient with me as he helped me with all of my questions and concerns. He was extremely attentive to make sure I had the best bowling/arcade experience. The facility was clean and fun! I will definitely come back next time I am in town.
A great way to get out of the heat in the summer and all of the attractions are only $.99 we can play a lot of games and get fun prizes too
Hi! I recently visited this wonderful establishment! And in a snot let down by the reviews but?. There was one person that was extremely perfect with their service I asked her name befor I left and she said it was Kipp. Kipp made me and my family feel so welcome she was polite happy and it felt like she'd go out of her way to help me and my family with whatever we needed. I'd say that she is one of the great youths left in our time! And if I was her manager I'd definitely give this young lady a raise and wh
Special thanks to Danita for being so nice to my grandkids and taking the time to make sure we received the most bang for our buck! There are other places to go but will continue to go back there, no matter the flow of people or staffing they are always kind and professional!
We came for a night of Crud with some friends. It wasn't too crowded and they had plenty of space for a pool table. Reasonably priced and close to food but they do have their own concession stands. Haven't been here since they were Fat Catz but if not much has changed then it's definitely worth the visit.
This fat cats is always legit I come here for bowling most of the time but the arcades are fun and generally a sweet place to hangout, also some cool cats hang here and they will provide you service with a smile
Kids had fun... but lots of out of order games and more staff needed.
What a fabulous event they had today. A Santa, breakfast and bowling event. It was so fun and the food was amazing. Santa and Mrs Clause and the Grinch were all there and interactive. Great place with great workers. Highly recommend you go there and have them help with the next big event you have planned. The Christmas decor was on point also. Good job Skinny Dogz.
Love coming here on Wednesdays. It is 50% off arcade games and it is not busy so me and my 3 year old can walk around freely and the food is so good! People that work here are very helpful and friendly and more importantly my son loves it!
A really nice time bowling. What made the experience five stars for us was the customer service at the food and beverage area. Terri was swamped and handled it like a champ with a smile and charisma. Will definitely come back to an establishment with such great customer service
Went bowling for a work event, had a fun time. Shoes were clean, bowling alley and arcade was nice and clean. Family friendly place, there wasn't any smoking. Took forever to get our pizza we ordered, but it was good for a bowling alley. Arcade was pretty fun, had a good variety of games. The only annoying thing was going on a scavenger hunt to find the entrance. From the street out front, there isn't a visible entrance to Skinny Dogz and absolutely no signs showing you the way. The only direct entrance is
Had a great time at Karaoke with the Karaoke Dude. I've known Jackson for 20+ years and he ALWAYS puts on the best shows. Come join him on Saturdays. It's a blast!!
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.”
