The atmosphere of the establishment was awesome! Enjoyed the music playing. We had a great time bowling. Great price. The only down side I would say is the customer service. I had called to see if they had lanes open and the women told me yes so we went down and when we got there we had a wait of 30+ minutes. It felt like she kept disappearing from the front desk when trying to get our shoes. I honestly dont know if she had a clue of what was going on. It took a long time to get a waitress to wait on us.

We had an incredible experience at Kings Bowling on International Drive, and a huge part of that was thanks to Drae! From the moment we arrived, Drae delivered top-tier customer service. He took amazing care of our entire birthday party, giving us his full attention the whole time. Our drinks and food came out fast, and he made sure we never needed to ask for anything twice. The service was smooth, professional, and honestly some of the best we’ve experienced anywhere. Drae’s energy, friendliness, and dedication truly made the celebration special. If you’re visiting Kings Bowling, definitely ask for Drae he’ll make your night unforgettable! 🎉👏

The management at this establishment went above and beyond tonight! I am thoroughly impressed and still a little in shock, my company rented out the space for the night and when I asked one of the attendants where the nearest gas station or smoke shop was cuz I needed to get some cigarettes the manager asked what kind I smoke and I told him and he had one of his employees go and get me a pack of cigarettes and did not charge me for them! I am still in shock as I said and I am so impressed with their service. Thank you for an incredible experience tonight! Food was amazing too as was the bowling.

We had the best bowling experience celebrating our brother’s birthday with Keke! From start to finish, Keke made the night unforgettable — great energy, fun vibes, and nonstop laughs. The setup was perfect, the lanes were smooth, and the music kept everyone hyped. Keke went above and beyond to make sure everything ran perfectly — from helping us get settled to keeping the games exciting. It honestly felt like a private party with family. If you’re ever looking for the perfect place (and person!) to host your next celebration or just a fun night out, Keke is the one! 🎉 Thank you, Keke, for making our brother’s birthday one to remember — can’t wait for the next round! 💥🎳🥳

This place was super fun and very nice! Lots of options of things to do. We bowled and played pool. Proces were reasonable. The food was so good! Our server was nice & attentive.

This was the perfect place to have a birthday party! We didn’t even book an “event” we just reserved our lanes on the website. Each lane takes 8 player if i remember correctly. The drinks were pretty good for the price and the food portions were huge! Everyone had a great time and really enjoyed themselves. The DJ on Saturday night was playing some good hits too!

This place has excellent customer service and the food is awesome. We made a reservation twenty minutes before arrive and were greeted warmly. Everyone is smiling and even when our food order got messed up they fixed it immediately. Definitely recommend the cheese bites and the egg rolls for an appetizer. Fried to perfection and not greasy. My daughter ordered the shrimp tacos that were tasty. Kind of small for the price though. If you are really hungry then go for a burger or the fish sandwich. The drinks were well made too. The spicy margarita was a stand out!

I went there tonight and the reception was amazing by the hosts and everyone at the bar. The place was pretty busy, so I had to wait to for my turn to play. When we had the chance to play bowling, the server who helped us (young guy, wear glasses and curly hair) asked us what we were going to eat and drink, I told him we had already ate previously, and we just wanted water. The entire hour we were there, not one cup of water was brought to me. I had to go to the bar myself to ask for water. By the way, that was already after 12, place wasn’t busy. The guy simply didn’t want to serve because we weren’t ordering food. Hope you guys can do better next time.

I'm a big fan of bowling! It's one of those underrated activities that's actually so fun, especially with family or friends. Came here on a random Thursday afternoon and it was surprisingly kind of busy. Front desk vibes were... meh. The woman working seemed a little checked out and gave me a look like I walked into the wrong room. Not exactly the warmest welcome, but whatever, I wasn't gonna let that kill my vibe. We grabbed a lane and played two games, and honestly, the setup is super user-friendly. I love how you can throw the bumpers up or tweak the settings on the screen. Small things, but they make it feel more fun and personalized. They had a "special" going on which was a burger and a beer for $30, I didn't feel all that special to me, so I passed. Just didn't seem worth it. There's also an arcade inside which added a fun little bonus. We played a few games after bowling! Overall, it's a solid spot. Clean lanes, decent atmosphere, and definitely somewhere I'd come back to. Next time I might bring a few more people and make it a whole thing.

I've bowled here a few times in the past couple of years, the most recent time being today. I'm not sure how I manage to forget how nice this place is each time. Today, I had an amazing time bowling with a friend, I was surprised that we were able to finish 3 games and start a 4th in one hour. The race against the clock was starting to feel like a good workout. And the previous time I was here, I had organized a small gathering for my birthday. Each time, I was greeted and treated well by the staff. With or without a reservation, check-in was straight forward, and lanes are assigned as soon as they are available. They provide shoes if you don't have any and you can purchase socks for $3. Once at the lanes, you can enter in the player names for each lane and then its off to the races. One pro for timed bowling is that you have a better idea of just how the game is going to last unlike timed games which can drag on forever. The ambiance is set with a nice variety of background music - you may even see the video of the current song playing on one of the big screens. In the evenings, you might be privy to a DJ playing. A server comes around with menus and to take orders for food and drinks. I personally haven't ordered any food or drinks for myself so I can't say how tasty anything is or isn't. They do, however, seem to offer some decently price happy hour and drink specials. They also have a perks program that offers discounts, coupons, freebies, etc. to those that sign up. A recent e-mail with a perk was definitely behind why I chose to bowl here today rather than elsewhere. I think that I should start coming here a little more than every once in a long while.

Kings is definitely a place to come and enjoy! I've been here many times over the years. I've been for birthday parties, where we have teams for bowling. I've also enjoyed their karaoke nights, while have a drink or two with friends. Today was a chill and kick back with my friend having some Yuengling beers while playing a couple of games of billiards. Definitely a nice indoor fun while having drinks. Service was quick, as we got there early.

I've come here so many times. I used to even come here back in the day when I was a college program kid. I love kings! The parking sometimes is a situation but other than that it's great! The food is good! The bowling is fun! It's a great vibe and atmosphere! And the drinks are good and big variety of a menu! I love that on Mondays they give universal team members and I believe service industry people too a deal. I forgot the deal I think it's half off bowling or something but it's very kind. The buffalo crab ragoons and pizza are great! I've always had great service here.

Review: Great Food, Poor Service We had a fun night here celebrating my son's birthday, but the staff made us feel unwelcome. The attendants at the front desk were dismissive, which took away from the experience. On the bright side, the food was surprisingly delicious--way better than expected. The ambiance was also well put together, making for a great atmosphere. If the service matched the food and setting, this place would be an easy favorite. Kings was my "one in the hole "type of hangout place where grown but child friendly could both come together . Disappointed with this visit.

Been coming here for years and it's a great spot for a fun night out! The lanes are clean, the vibe is upbeat, and the food and drinks are surprisingly good for a bowling alley. A little pricey, but worth it for the atmosphere. Perfect for groups or date nights. Went recently for a few games of billiards and beers. Service was a little on the slow side specially since it was early and pretty empty. But still had a good time.

There are 16 lanes here, plus a private alley with, I believe, four more lanes. I visited during their happy hour, which runs from 4-6 PM and features $5 mai tais, sangria, and draft beer. I also signed up for their rewards program and received a free pizza and a $10 voucher--such a nice perk! Just a heads-up: the rewards take 24 hours to activate after signing up. One downside was that our server never came to our lane to take our orders, so we had to go to the bar to place them. Because of that, I'm deducting a star. Other than that, it was a great experience with my friends!

I came to Kings for the first time with friends during happy hour. Bowling was discounted and they had $5 mai tai's which was great. We couldn't all check in until our whole party arrived so we got the last lane available. It was a fun time and I would definitely go back. They also have a good rewards program.

The vibes are very nice here and there's a few activities like bowling or playing pool! We had a quick bite to eat before waiting to play. Unfortunately we got tired of waiting so we decided to leave after eating. This is our fault as we didn't have any reservations! I would recommend setting up a reservation before going if you can. The food was good considering it not being a full restaurant location. Our party enjoyed the food and drinks! It is a little pricey but I think it's worth it if you're waiting to play or want a bite to eat! The location was also really clean.

I went as part of their service industry night. On their site, Kings states that between 9PM - 11 PM, service workers receive a couple of hours of free bowling and billiards as well as specialty cocktails (photo included with post.) which is a great way to participate in a city tradition and something I've taken regular part in since it began and I always make sure to give back by ordering food and drink while I'm there, even if it is at a discounted rate. The last time I went, I put my order in and roughly by 9:50, my server came back and informed me that I have "6 minutes left" and stated anything I took part in would have to be at full price. He offered to ask about an extension, but said that he wasn't sure about the likelihood. I inquired as to what he meant and he explained that service industry night was for anyone playing or dining between 9 - 11. After I told him that's what we're doing, he then informed us of "a new policy" where our time given was dictated by the amount of people in our party. As I was with my partner, it was only an hour. This baffled me as nothing had been told to us either when we reserved our night or when we checked in. I thanked the server for telling me and went to speak with one of the supervisors to get some clarity. The supervisor I spoke with, Joshua McAnderson(?), then reiterated this new policy that "was passed down from corporate and had been in effect for over a week." I said that was weird how nothing was communicated tonight beforehand nor on their site. He agreed that the site needed to be fixed and he "understands the frustration, but you are bowling for free." To which I explained "yes, but I'm still ordering drinks and food, so I am still a paying customer." At which point he replied sharply "Yeeeaaa, but not as much." After being told that, I explained that I understand revenue is important, thanked him for explaining and told him I'd pass the word on to my friends and coworkers about this weird change. I paid my tab, gathered my partner, belongings and returned my shoes. Before leaving, I made sure to get his name, which to his credit, he gave as well as gestured to/name-dropped his boss, Bill whom he said I could also speak with (smugly). I said hi to Bill, but explained that wouldn't be necessary and I knew who to speak with. In retrospect that night was rainy and busy. They only had their center lanes open which had gotten full.They easily could have opened at least the Kingpin room like they have before since no one reserved them but they'd decided not to (one guest asked about the lanes by the game area, to which she was told there was an a/c issue). What it seems like is either they were trying to sneakily clear out lanes or maybe this simply isn't returning the revenue they'd hoped. In any case, no establishment should ever devalue their customer/guest by calling them out for the amount they're paying (which Joshua absolutely did when speaking to me in front of other guests and staff.) Especially when it's a promotion they're stated to be offering. Our treatment and experience is a shame, but not a surprise. Kings is nothing if not consistent in valuing the dollar over their guests and there are *plenty* of similar establishments worth your money/time.

We always enjoy Kings Bowling Alley . We came here for a social event with a group. Me and my now husband met here back in 2014 and this is how we began our love story. We had a great time & we're able to grab some drinks and food while we waited for the group to get situated. I ordered their version of the espresso martini and my husband ordered this martini which I tasted and it was quite good. We also ordered the loaded fries. It was allot going on with those fries so we didn't finish them, it was a huge plate. We played 1 rounds of bowling while others enjoyed Jenga, connect 4 and pool . Overall great ambiance, customer service and food.

Great place to bowl and hangout with friends! Plenty of lanes and even a private room for larger parties. Food and Drinks are good as well which make the bowling even better!

It's mostly bowling & food. They have a few drinks on happy hr. Mai tai was one of them & she made it just right. It wasn't too sweet & the cups are a nice touch. We didn't try the food. Staff was friendly & welcoming. They do have arcade games & pool. There's also a couple of games out front on the patio as well as seating. The music was pretty good. There's plenty of bar seating & bowling lanes. It's $22 for an hour of bowling, I'm not sure if that's including shoes. 3.5 bc I thought there would be more to do, we were a bit disappointed.

I came to Kings with my BF on a Sunday night and this place didn't disappoint! I love the fact that you can bowl in your own shoes! This spot charges per the hour for the lanes and is roughly $30ish for one hour, two people. We did go a bit over cause I was whippin' my man's booty at bowling LOL and let's be real, we were having a bit too much fun! The food was kind of surprisingly delicious for a bowling and entertainment spot. We got an array of small plates to share and everything was scrumptious in its own way. On top of that, the service from our server, Marcial was awesome! He treated us both very kindly. If you're looking for a fun date night spot or just spot out with friends, I highly recommend!!

The family and I had a wonderful time at Kings!! The reservation was at noon on Sunday (Sunday Funday). The check in process was quick and simple. If you are military/veteran (including dependents) show your ID for discounts. Our server was Quadrae he was very professional, took our order without writing anything down (wings, pizza, shrimp and a few drinks) everything cane out perfect! It wasn't too busy because they had just opened up, so we had the place to ourselves. We had a great time the food was good, great music playing,a few TVs with the football game on it was a great time.

They won me over with "Veterans bowl for free!" It's a nice thing to be acknowledged! Additionally, food was delicious. Ordered the Boom Shrimp and they have a nice selection of Zero-Proof drinks. The coconut cooler was refreshing! And the ambiance is dope! Nice grown up feel.

I contacted Kings Dining and Entertainment to plan my birthday party. I corresponded with Justin Rhodes. He informed me that Kings Bowling does not allow reservations for its restaurant. However, I found multiple photographs online, like the one included in this post for dining reservations. I was willing to pay in advance for heavy appetizers for my guests, but Kings Bowling was unwilling to help me.

Really poor experience here. We had reservations for bowling at 8p. Upon arrival we were told 15 mins. Ok cool, we went over to the arcade looking to kill time. Nothing worked in the arcade. They had all the machines turned off. We waited an hour before they even cared to give us more information on what the hold up was. Turns out they had a specific lane "reserved" for us which had 11 mins left. Poor time management. Meanwhile three lanes were completely empty and "reserved" for a group of 16. Who HADN'T even ARRIVED at all. You have people standing there, present, ready to pay money to bowl and instead you are "waiting" on a possible arrival. Talk about idiotic. This isn't the first time the wait time at Kings has been excessive. This was our second try to bowl there. Never again and I won't recommend it to anyone.

Special shoutout to the Lena and her wonderful staff for allowing us to have our Sorority outing. The entire staff was friendly and accommodating to our large group. I would recommend Kings to anyone who is looking to host an event full of food, music , fun and laughter for a large group. They even went the extra mile to create a welcoming sign for us. 10/10

We didn't go in for food we went in for some pool and shuffle board. While playing we got 2 Moscow mules they didn't have the copper mugs and tasted mostly like vodka very little lime or ginger beer. $27 for the 2 was definitely not worth it. The pool tables weren't level so you definitely had to put a little more power into some shots. And the shuffle boards were pretty much the same all shots had a hard lean. So was not that impressed

We caught it on a good night...not too crowded and quick to get a lane. The staff was super nice, funny and attentive...we did order some wings half and half BBQ/Sriracha which came out quick and HOT. Drinks were on point as well...now...is it a little pricey, YES. Around $54 for 2 just for an hour is wild but we had a good time.

Our Bible study group came here for an outing on a Saturday afternoon and I must say we had an incredible time. A tip for next time is If you wear sneakers you don't have to rent their shoes which is what has sold me on this place. I ordered quesadillas and fries which were surprisingly really good for a bowling alley. Music was very lively and definitely had us all dancing and enjoying ourselves. All in all I will definitely visit this place again in the future

Felt the love the moment we were greeted! ( wish I could remember names better!) Host was sooo welcoming. And then we met our waitress Miss T. A-MA-ZIng lady!! So kind and genuine. Seriously have not had service this great in a very long while . FOOD -- my son had a burger. Not a bit greasy-- high quality beef. I had fish tacos. Delicious. Bowling was fun. Then we played some pool and Miss T surprised my son with a birthday cupcake and candle. And the restaurant was very very clean. Will definitely come again next time we r in Orlando!

What's not to love about bowling? Everybody likes to throw a ball. Better yet, everybody like to grab the bowling ball, aim, and let it glide down the lane. It's a no brainer, and it is so much fun. Especially when you're competing with others. The food is good, and their drinks are even better.

All I can say is WOW.. We planned on placing our name on the wait list and going elsewhere while we waited for our 2-3 hours wait time. We decided to have a drink at the bar while we waited for our friends to arrive. What almost turned in to a night of just bowling became a night of billiards, drinks, dinning and bowling! Gian Carlo the bar tender was amazing and spoke asked the manager to look at our names on the wait list. The Manager approached us and was kind enough to comp the billiard table, so that we could stay while we waited. We were of course not cautious of our spending either. Good call on management. Keeping us there; waiting instead of us spending our money elsewhere, was a very smart move. It pleased us as well. it was a WIN WIN for everyone.

Another place that doesn't offer anything for industry night after they ask us multiple times where we work andrew is very rude and raciest. The host was honest just mean and racist to us as well. 0/10 I've been before, but I will never come back after tonight. Honestly, the host was disgusting wish I got her name. Cannot believe they employ someone like that.

I bowl. I'm a bowler. Bowl is life. I've been here at least 4 times within the past 2 months, and as it happens, Charlene is always the one taking care of me. She is awesome! Very kind and patient, she cheers if I'm up by 10 or down by 30. My type of girl! The lanes are always clean, (her) service is always prompt. Food is definitely above average "alley food," and the drinks are both cute and tasty. If planning to come on a weekend, I would definitely make a reservation, as this area is referred to as the "Tourist Trap" and can get very busy, very quickly. It is a little pricier than average bowling alleys, but they do have specials on different days of the week, as well as price cuts depending on what time of day you go. Whether you're on a date or with the family, I'd definitely recommend King's.

Loved this place! The ambiance was very chill and the music was awesome because they had a live DJ. We sat at the bar which normally means you gets faster service and stronger drinks. The drinks did not disappoint! To me it's pricey but it's a touristy area. We also got tasted the food. I got the Boom Boom Shrimp tacos which was crispy shrimp in a sweet n sour with Napa cabbage and my friend ordered a pizza. I didn't taste the pizza but I liked the shrimp taco dish.

What an experience! The Xi Beta Chapter of Gamma Phi Delta Sorority Incorporated hosted a Founders Day Social for the members of the 3 local chapters. We made the best decision to celebrate our Founders Day at King's. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere was perfect for the occasion! We had quite a time celebrating 81 years of sisterhood and service. This was the first of many visits! Thank you for your hospitality!

The mild smell of feet and sweat is what any good bowling alley should have and this is a good bowling alley. The service was amazing and the food was better than most of the places to eat on international drive, lane side server was great. Ps. For the record I let my wife win the first game.

This is the kings experience we remember and come back for each time :) We arrived and asked to sit in booths across from lower bar. The area was closed but a manager graciously approved for our party of 7 to go to the area. Hugh was our server and was extremely attentive. One of our orders was ground beef tacos and were too spicy. Hugh immediately offered to switch out and personally came back to tell us what other foods had the same seasoning so we could avoid them. I continue to love the sangria the food and music. Maybe one day I'll actually be able to bowl as well. As an aside, I did want to share that the manager, Troy, personally reached out after our last experience which wasn't as great. I love this place even more for being open to feedback and having a genuine conversation beyond a "thanks for your feedback". He didn't have to engage but made sure to close the loop and offer an open door to returning that same weekend.

We love this place. Super friendly staff. Even though they were short staffed they gave great service. Food is really good. Not your Average alley food. Great drinks tons of stuff to do. Every lane feels private in its own way. We'll always come when we're in Orlando.

I've been to Kings a few times over the years and it has always been a great time bowling and grubbing on finger foods. Their layout is super spacious which is great for large parties especially since I recently went with 15 people! If you can call ahead and reserve a lane (or two) do it!! Sometimes on the weekends it get a bit busy and there is a wait time to bowl. You can also reserve the lanes in the front of Kings which are secluded off in its own room. You get your own server that checks on you frequently and you definitely get treated like VIP. Food Talk: The food here is great. It's not "consession stand" like but instead more like restaurant style. I've tried the buffalo chicken wontons which are phenomenal with ranch dip. Their chicken wings and fries are my usual go to, buffalo style with ranch of course. The real winner is their Mai Tai! Presentation is great and the flavor is amazing. Kong's is definitely a great place for family fun or friends!

We tried once before to bowl here, but it was a long wait. This time we decided to go on a Friday night at 6pm and score! No wait, awesome server, no crowds. The bowling venue is set with 2 areas that can be rented and blocked off from the general bowlers. There a game room, restaurant area, billiard table and a huge connect 4 game. We paid 10.00 each game and 5.00 shoe rental. Once we got to our assigned lane, our server greeted us quickly. She was one of the reasons our experience went well. She was friendly, attentive and engaged in small casual conversations with our family My son had a nut and seafood allergy. She brought the chef out to discuss safe options and made us feel confident. We ordered the appetizer sampler. It had fried cheese sticks, pork sliders, cream cheese wonton and fried spring rolls. It was a great size for our party of 4. Now to the lanes. I felt the lIghtiing was dim where the pins were. Our neighbors on the next lane asked to have the Light brightened. It was an option. There were multiple times we had to reset the pins because there was a pin that would get knocked down for some reason in the start off a new frame. The house balls were a little beaten. All in all a great, fun experience. After we played 2 games, it was close to 8pm and there was a wait. Get there early!!!!

I was in Orlando for the weekend with a group of friends when we ended up at Kings for a late dinner after a day at the parks. For a Saturday night, I expected the place to be a little more crowded. I had made a reservation for 6, but upon arrival there was no one at the restaurant side to greet and seat us. We waited there for a bit when a man appeared quickly only to leave and said the bar tended would assist in seating us. Not the greatest first impression. Our waiter on the other hand was great, he took our drink order and food items pretty quickly. We were a little disappointed with our drinks, we ordered a pitcher of margaritas, but really felt that it was mostly just the mix, lacking alcohol. The food then came a bit out of order. A few of us has ordered appetizers as meals, but their meal portion had come out first. We chalked it up to a kitchen error. The food wasn't bad, but was a little pricey for what it was. I got the Sampler to share with another person and it was good, but all the items were room temperature. So for $20 I was less than impressed. My side of avocado also included the whole avocado pit, so I got about a teaspoon of guac. At the end of the day I wasn't trying to make a big fuss as it was already 10pm, and the food was good, I just would have liked it hotter. The wontons and the eggs rolls were my favs. The mix in the egg role has a great taste and the wrapper is light and crispy. Others at the table had gotten the Chicken Caesar salad, pepperoni pizza, and buffalo chicken wontons. All enjoyed their meals, but we won't think we will be running back there the next time we are in Orlando.

I came to Kings last month for a Yelp Elite events. I was happy when my cousin decided on this place to celebrate her husband's birthday. We ate and then bowled afterwards. Our server was very friendly and helpful. I decided on getting wings and was able to get half Buffalo and half soy garlic. We also got parmesan truffle fries, and tuna wontons. Mozzarella sticks, sliders, and chicken southwest egg rolls were also ordered. My husband decided to get a 32 oz beer to wash it all down with. We decided to go for a decadent birthday dessert and got the cookie fondue. Everything we ate was very delicious and well-cooked. The star the show was the cookie fondue. It came with Beignets, Rice Krispies Treats, fruit, cake pops and the fondue was a cookie on top with melted crunchy chocolate underneath. It was so amazing and the kids were so excited and went to town. After that, they let us know our lane was ready. They had set up all of our bowling shoes in the lane so all we had to do was sit and put them on. It was beautiful service. They had also put our names in the roster to bowl so we had no work to do and just got to have fun right away. Throughout the night we had a server in our lane that was very attentive, friendly, and super helpful to us. His name was Verdie and I wanted to make sure to give him a shout out. The whole atmosphere of the place was super. The music was awesome and kept me dancing in my seat all evening. Between a wonderful service, food, and awesome bowling we had an amazing evening. Verdie even gave all the kids a handful of tokens to play games which really made their eyes light up. They were so happy and we all went over to the arcade portion after we finished bowling to have even more fun. This place is an amazing spot to celebrate a special occasion or come out after work to unwind. This is not your average bowling alley. The food is fabulous. The drinks are really great. And the vibe is outstanding. Needless to say we'll be back again and again.

This was my first time here for a Yelp event. This is a great venue for a group outing or work event. There is bowling, billiards and arcade games. Even though I didn't bowl, I had so much fun meeting new people and watching everyone bowl. The atmosphere is definitely fun. Keeping in mind that this is an entertainment venue serving bar food, the food and drinks were pretty good. I enjoyed the pineapple martin and the Mai Tai, both were a little too sweet, but good. The salad with balsamic dressing was delicious. We also had pizza and and sliders, our server was very accommodating and helpful. At the end we were served trays of delicious beignets with two sauces. A wonderful end to a fun evening. Great place to bring the whole family.

I've been to King's before, but recently came back for a Yelp event. It was a ton of fun getting together with a big group & cheering each other's terrible bowling skills on. I wasn't a huge fan of the food that was at the event. There was a lack of flavor & some of the flavors didn't go together well, like the sausage & pepper pizza, that was really spicy. We had a Mai Tai drink that was pretty good, but definitely too sweet for my liking. They also served us beignets, but they were much more like donuts as far as the consistency goes. I like that it's something different to do in Orlando & there's a full bar, as well as pool tables, if you're not into bowling. This is a fun place to host a group event if you're looking for somewhere that has lots of space & is different than just going to dinner.

Not good at all. Really tried to give it a boost since the hurricane was supposed to have been bearing down...but it wasn't. Not enough staff. Cold Southwest eggs rolls. The only highlight was the cocktails....but I did mention it was a hurricane party. Very disappointed by the product. Our server did his best. Never saw a manager coming around to see how things were. As my mom taught me......if you don't​ have something​ nice to say...... I guess I got spoiled in Doral.

2017's Yelp 100 Challenge 91/100 So let me tell you why I gave this place less than five stars: the bowling alley seemed a little outdated. I know a lot of folks don't go to bowling alleys these days, but it was a little dark and the lanes were extremely small. Went there for a group event with my coworkers, we typically have a little team builder and we decided to go to Kings Orlando for bowling, food & drinks. Our server, Raul, was amazing, & the manager, Slater, even came by our tables to introduce himself. They were extremely attentive & made sure we weren't out of anything we needed. For appetizers we order spring rolls, crab rangoons, wontons, mini quesadillas, focaccia bread, and various beers/teas. When we got up to pick out our shoes, we kinda just stood at the counter for 10 mins, with no one to help us. Once the cashier showed up, she was able to quickly get us our shoes & direct us to our lanes. The rest of the afternoon went off without a hitch, & bowling was fun. Not sure of the cost, since it was a company event, but I was told that they do offer discounts for large groups. I truly enjoyed the place & will return.

The ONLY thing that was good was the food and that's probably because we were starving. The lanes suck. Period. We switched to a "good lane" and that was horrible. We had to get another waitress to grab our waitress and then the freaking staff started bowling games right beside us. This place has the potential to be a hot spot but for first time visitors who are pretty avid bowlers, I was not pleased AT ALL. Get your game up and your crap together KingsAnd a word of advice, treat everyone the same bc you never know who you're serving.

We got a reservation to bowl at Kings on a Friday night. We all knew it would be busy, but they seemed very understaffed. We had a party of 5. The website said we'd get 90 minutes, but our lane ticker started at 60. It took me 15 minutes to get the server's attention and order. It took us 20 more minutes to get his attention to put in our other stuff, after which he still hadn't brought out my order. When he finally did bring my order, the ice in my drink was melted, so I'm guessing it had been sitting for a while. When we hit the 60 minute mark, one of my friends asked if we could finish our game, so they gave us 30 more minutes. My friends didn't receive their food until we were just past the 90 minute mark, and they got both of the orders wrong. One of my friends ordered just water, and he kept asking about it, and he didn't get his until minute 80. Meanwhile, there was a group sitting just outside of the lane directly behind us who was getting waited on hand and foot. Our server was at their table at least once every 5 minutes, while we had to wait at least 30 minutes to get our drinks every time and our food didn't come out until we were supposed to be gone. The server clearly felt bad about it because he brought us a free bucket of beers and a margarita, and then we were only charged for one bowler. That being said, I wouldn't go back planning too eat or drink. The only reason I still gave this place 2 stars is because I really enjoyed bowling. They had a good selection of bowling balls, the shoes were clean, and the game was fun. That being said, there were several instances where the rack malfunctioned and pins were down at the beginning of my friends turns, and there's no way to re-rack.

Very disappointed with the customer service we received this evening. Five of my colleagues and I just got done having dinner at Vincenzo's and we thought it would be fun to bowl a couple of games and have some drinks after two very long days at NAFEM so we went to Kings. Everything started fine. We asked for two lanes but they said with the reservations they had they would only be able to give us one lane for the six of us which was fine. And for the six of us to bowl for an hour and a half, it was a little over $100. We started bowling and ordering rounds of drinks and everything was good until about the 6th frame when we started noticing the lane we were on was glitching pretty bad. It was skipping players and scoring incorrectly, pretty much messing up our game. I notified the front desk and they apologized for the problem and said they would "reset our time" and they came over to fix it. After about 10 minutes they got it fixed. By this point we had been there for about an hour, maybe longer. Unfortunately, after a couple more frames it started glitching again. On the last frame I went up to bowl and as soon as I let go of the ball the pin lift came down and the bowling ball hit it. We hadn't finished the game but I certainly didn't want anything to get broken so I informed the front desk that there was still issues with the lane and asked if we could move to the lane next to us and they said yes. So we moved over and the game was reset and we started a new game. And during this time we were still ordering drinks. Right around the 4th frame the game stopped and said our time was up. I went back to the front desk for the 3rd time and asked if they could extend the time since we still hadn't finished one game yet as I was told that our time would be reset from the first time we spoke. I was told by the guy I had been speaking with from the beginning that they had given us 15 more minutes but that he would give us 15 more to finish the game, even though I was told my time was reset? I said that I would just like to at least finish one full game. After a couple frames the timer went off again and the game stopped. I now had to go back to the front desk for the 4th time to ask for more time and by now, I was starting to get frustrated. When I went up there it was a different gentleman than I had originally been speaking with. I explained what had happened up until then and he told me that he wasn't sure what was going on so he was just going to give us an extra 10 minutes. I couldn't tell if he believed me and it seemed like he was doing us a favor for the extra 10 minutes. I went back to our lane and by this time I just wanted to finish our one game, pay our bar tab and leave. The bar tab came and it was $224 which we paid and tipped on (btw, shout out to Zae who was helping us, her service was great!). We got to the 8th frame and the game stopped AGAIN due to the time running out. By this time I was just pissed off and told our party we were leaving. We went back to the front desk and gave our bowling shoes back. When I got up there, the original person I was speaking with (I didn't get his name, I just know he was wearing an arm sling) was there and I asked if I could speak with the manager, to which he responded that he was the manager. Even though I was very frustrated with the experience, I made sure not to yell or curse as I explained the situation from our point of view. We were there for almost 2 hours and spent over $325 (not including tip) and we didn't even finish ONE GAME OF BOWLING. And I also told him I wasn't looking for anything for free as I had worked in customer service for over 22 years, but I felt we spent a lot of money at their business and we didn't even actually finish a single game and I was told that our time would be reset, not just given an extra 25 minutes to finish the first game that we never finished. He never apologized or offered any kind of compensation or to even let us finish our game even though it was their equipment that was messing up and told me that he thought he gave us enough time to finish our game, even though I had now been up to the front desk FOR THE 5TH TIME THAT NIGHT. I told him it didn't make sense to me as I was told our time would be reset and we had been there for about an hour when the first problem originally happened. All he did was shrug his shoulders. I still didn't yell or or freak out on him and I just left. This is a very bad example of customer service, especially for someone with a manager title. To spend over $325 dollars at their establishment in almost 2 hours and not even finish one game which was no fault of ours was pretty ridiculous. We certainly will never come back and we'll make sure to let anyone else we know that comes to this area to avoid going to this place of business, especially if they think doing less than the bare minimum is acceptable to fix a problem that was theirs in the first place, not ours.
