Lucky Strike Orange

Got here and the vibe was cool. Was a bit dark and like mysterious. Loved the decor! They also had pool tables! The booths by the bar are also super cute and in prime positioning of TV screens! It was a bit warm so it got a bit hot lol. The food was good. Ordered a chicken pizza and it was nice and crunchy and chicken tasted yummy. The beer was good too.

If you want to have a nice wholesome time with friends, don’t come here. Hella vulgar/degenerate rap music playing the whole time on the screens above the lanes. Can’t imagine someone bringing their kids here. Feel like I need to refresh my soul after coming to this place fr.

Zero star, I rarely leave bad reviews, but my experience at Lucky Strike was honestly disappointing. (D’ough) I believe was the employee helped us, his customer service was terrible — the staff were rude, unhelpful, only the bartender was nice!!the stuff seemed more interested in chatting with each other than assisting paying customers. When I tried to ask for help, I was either ignored or given an attitude from D’ough which made the whole visit uncomfortable. It’s frustrating to spend your money somewhere and be treated like you’re an inconvenience instead of a guest. Management didn’t seem to care either, which says a lot about how they value their customers. I was really looking forward to a fun experience, but the poor service completely ruined it. Definitely not coming back and wouldn’t recommend it to anyone who expects even basic respect or professionalism.

Update for feb1 2025: I have been here 2x before. And don't get me wrong, its a nice place for night with the guys, a date, or even just hanging out for the night. On February 1st, we had a small gathering - a bday celebration. We show up 9pm ... crowd wasn't too large, yet only one bartender. decided to wait, its a niceplace, good ambiance. Like any other time, we thought, what's 5 min in waiting. Unfortunately, that turned into 35 min before we were even acknowledged, and sitting at the bar. The couple to our right had finished a round and couldn't get another order. The man in the wheel chair was pacing up and down the bar, and no attention or acknowledgment was given to him either. Other people showed up and were asking for to be served, yet , nothing. Orders were only being done for the waiters, for literally 30 to 45 mins. We stayed because we had already set up a meeting place. Another man came, but only to help get pitchers for the tables. Once acknowledged, they move on and took someone's order who had only been there for 5 minutes ... yet we had been at the bar seat for 35 min or more. We left, and went next door, busy also, yet we're served within 5 min; food and all. Who ever was managing that location at the time, was a doing a poor job. Old review: Snazzy place. Indoor decor was on the up and up. Great feel, comfortable, and upscale compared to so many bowling 🎳 areas. Parking is ample, and the staff are friendly. Food and drinks were delicious and well priced.

Oh my god, I absolutely loved this place! The service was great and Jetzy was amazing! Hunter our server was also awesome!! The food was SOOOOO delicious and scrumptious! I cannot WAIT to come back!

This place used to be one of our regular go-to spots — always good vibes with friends. But after my last visit, I won’t be coming back. We were still finishing up just a couple of minutes after closing when an employee barged in and started shouting at us like we were doing something wrong. There was no need for that kind of attitude. It’s called basic professionalism, and clearly, it’s missing here. The way this situation was handled says a lot about the management and their lack of respect for loyal customers. If you don’t want to be treated rudely for no reason, do yourself a favor and take your business somewhere else.

I used to come to this place regularly with friends — it used to be one of our top hangout spots. Sadly, that changed after a terrible encounter with one of the employees. We were still inside for just a few minutes after closing when the employee stormed in and started yelling at us instead of calmly asking us to leave. The way it was handled was completely uncalled for and very unprofessional. Management should train their staff on basic customer courtesy, regardless of the time. This experience really showed how poorly this place is being run now. If you expect to be treated with even a little respect, I’d suggest finding another spot — because respect clearly isn’t a priority here anymore.

Took our 5-year-old to Lucky Strike Bowling for her first time and it was amazing! The staff was so patient and helpful, setting up bumpers and getting her the right size ball. Watching her face light up every time she knocked down pins was priceless! She had the biggest smile and was giggling the whole time. The staff really made her feel special and comfortable. She's already asking when we can go back! Perfect place for kids' first bowling experience.

All the people that work here are really nice! The lanes are decent and there are plenty of house balls to go around when it gets busy. They do have pool tables here and a full bar which they just remodeled. The food is pretty decent as well and they do play some sports here on the TVs.

Place is great for a group looking for something to do on a weekday evening. $20.99 for unlimited bowl and shoes was great. We played 3 games and it was well worth it. We also got the combo which comes with a pizza and a pitcher of Margeritas, which was pretty good. A couple pitchers later and we were blitzed. Amy at the bar was super nice, and was really helpful in keeping our glasses full. Much appreciated. The balls are ambidextrous, with holes drilled to fit either hand. Lanes are decent. But the scoring aystem takes a bit of work... or maybe we were just out of it. But they were really helpful and fixed the issues right away. Awesome night.

We had a novice group come up in the lane next to us. They had their whole group hovering around the balls gathered around each person throwing the ball. Needless to say it was irritating for us trying to bowl in the next lane. I politely told our server so he can have someone kindly talk to them as to avoid confrontation. The server said he couldn't do anything about it. When I told the manager later he said that he was "monitoring" the situation and it looked like "we" had it under control! Also, our last bowlers last frame ended before he could finish his game and it was before our time expired! Not funnnn at all! There were 9 of us and played 2 games. Really you want to piss off 9 people!

Great decor! Didnt expect it to be so classy inside. Food was great too. Pretty good variety and unexpectedly had some asian stuff too lol. Got 2 beer towers as well for our group. Bowling was a good deal too!

The place is very nice and clean. The staff are very friendly. They offer a good variety of food and drinks. Pitchers are better deal for beer or soda. The pizzas are ok as well. I like the bowling balls here because each has 2 sizes. We paid hourly and we had almost 3 games, not bad at all. It's conveniently located at the Block so you can chill and go shopping around also :)

After doing a bunch of shopping, we started thinking about what to eat as a family, and while walking to the car fully loaded with shopping bags, realized, why not take advantage of Lucky Strike and make it dinner and some entertainment for the family. We haven't been bowling in a while so it was a cool experience. They were offering a special where it was $20 all you can bowl including shoes for the night. We ended up playing four games and ordered food that included pizza, hamburgers, nachos and tacos. All the food was good and came out hot and we were able to enjoy without the pressure of being on a time frame. There wasn't a lot of traffic as it was a weekday, but our server was attentive and made sure we were good to go the entire night. I never really noticed but the bowling alley pens are actually on strings to help reset them as needed vs the old skool way with the system breaking down in the back. I've seen that before, but didn't realize it was like this at Lucky Strike. All good. Still had a good time with the family making memories is important.

We went as a family to bowl for just one hour and was able to finish the game. Associate was very helpful and supplied a pitcher of ice water.

Lanes were really oily not a big fan but it was a overall good experience I did go out at a weekday so it wasn't too packed but who knows it'll probably depend when you go and costumer service was really good they kept making sure I didn't need any help with anything

We came here around 1pm. There is no one at the front reception area. There is a sign pointing to the back of the building (past the bar area) to sign in. We checked in and redeemed our Summer Season Bowling pass that we had previously purchased online. We were given our physical passes. We then stated we wanted to play our 2 games and were given our bowling shoes. We had an amazing time playing today. Love the cosmic/dark atmosphere. It is a pretty busy place and fairly loud inside as well. We had someone come to our area and ask if we wanted to order anything. We politely declined this time. It is super simple to set up your game (easy step by step instructions). One con is they don't have enough lower weighted balls (for kids etc). The balls we used today were all too heavy. We can't wait to come back! Make sure to grab a Summer Season Pass! You definitely get what you pay for (and then some)!! The staff members we encountered today were very friendly. Great place for parties, work events, etc. They also have a lot of pool tables to play at.

If you like to be price gouged, delayed, disrespected and threatened, then you will love Lucky Strike, because they deliver all of these services. We went there for some bowling and were told that we'd have to wait an hour or so, and that we could wait in the bar and have drinks. After an hour or two of waiting, we were ready to bowl, but they had no bowling lanes available, and apparently none coming up any time soon, and they suggested that we wait another hour or two or more at the expensive bar (presumably so they can make much more profit from alcohol). After a very short moment of explaining that they should be more honest and accurate with wait times, the employees pointed to the Russian guards and threatened to have us physically removed. This was quite the opposite of fun.

The couches have seen better days but other than that it's a fun place to spend some time with friends. Food is typical bar good. The chicken tenders were very dry.

Everything was good from the staff to the drinks and the overall cleanliness of the place. The staff were very attentive to the guests. The drinks are all very good as well, overall a very good experience. Will definitely comeback here!

I don't know what to really say the balls feel weird and the ally's feel horrible just the ball slows down? And it feels cramped in this place I go to Westminster lanes quite often and I love the bowling ally's there this place is very disappointing the employees are nice but the whole bowling experience is lacking and quite mid honestly makes it miserable to be here

Place is fireeeee! Ambiance is nice, a good place for date night or family night! Crew are nice and friendly.

Had such a great time tonight. The bowling was expensive but our server made it worth it. Hunter? I think? Give that guy a raise. Anyway, will be back if he's here.

All I gotta say is Val!! Val made our experience theee best!! We complicated her work life by ordering a loooot and needing 4 separate orders. She handled it like the boss she is!!

I used to come to this place all the time with a group of friends -- it used to be one of our favorite spots. Unfortunately, that changed after a terrible experience with one of the employees. We were still inside just a few minutes after closing, and instead of politely letting us know, the employee came in and started yelling at us like we were kids. It was completely uncalled for and very unprofessional. Good management should know how to treat their customers with respect, even if it's closing time. This experience showed me how poorly this place is run. If you value being treated with basic respect, I'd recommend going somewhere else -- because clearly, they don't respect their customers here anymore.

Service here forreal sucks. Went here on a Saturday night and the guy in the front for bowling game never text the number we left. Horrible! They said 20minutes wait and 20 minutes went by we came by and the guy acted all surprised that we even came back. $60plus for 1 hour for 2 people with shoes. Will never come back here again. For the experience and service , not worth my time. Should've went to a different location instead like the one on Orange. Smh and best believe I'll leave a bad review.

To watch sport it's a perfect spot to get seated at the bar area. The only downfall Only 1 bartender making bar drinks plus drinks for the bowling area. Food is good

Really enjoyed this place, wasn't too overpriced, loved the music, the pizzas are small though. Like personal pizzas cut into thin slices, but the rest of the food was great! Drinks a lil watered down.

The bowling lanes and computer system were up-to-date. I didn't need to call for assistance due to technical difficulties. The service was nice. It's a great place for a friend gathering because you can watch sports on TV and play pool while having drinks if you don't like bowling.

Can't talk about the food since we did not order anything. The service was nice and quick! We were a little bit late due to our lunch taking forever and they were able to let us go bowling at 2:30 instead of our reservation time which was 2. The ambiance was very cool! This is a very nice bowling alley! They do not have that many lanes but they have a pool table, bar, and a couple of other fun things than just bowling! Would definitely come here again!

After I left a review about my experience with the service, I was encouraged to reach out for further discussion about the incident. I provided details about the situation, but unfortunately, it seems that no resolution has been reached. I still have a damaged bowling ball, and I believe it's important for other bowlers to be aware of my experience. Anyone looking to bowl whether for practice or just for a night of fun, there are many places that are much lower in price and within the general area of Lucky Strike. Do not waste your time or money at this location.

Kourtney attempted to gaslight our party that we received the card on tab. It was misplaced and found 20 minutes later as we stood by not knowing where it is. The lie that she handed it to us was not necessary.

Drinks were good. There's just only one bartender for the whole entire place so it could take a little while to get a drink a.k.a. alcoholic beverage.

We planned a birthday party at Licky strike with Tommy beeing our server and we had amazing service. From recommendations to his favorite meals, we would definitely come back again.

Came for my husband's company holiday party and had a blast! I was impressed that they rented out the entire place on a Saturday night, fed us and had open bar from 7-10pm! Fried chicken sliders and Margherita pizzas were placed on bar counter tops and tables, which were just okay. The buffet of Caesar salad, roasted root vegetables, mashed potatoes, penne pasta and braised short ribs were pretty decent for a large catering party. They also served up speciality cocktails. I enjoyed the Choco-Jack Mint Delight, which consisted of vodka, Bailey's, dark cream cacao, and peppermint schnapps. Hubby and I had a lot of fun bowling with his coworkers too! Overall, food was okay, service was excellent and entertainment was great!

Awesome bowling alley! Equipped with a full service kitchen and bar this is the best choice for a night out with friends or an evening date with a loved one. Definitely coming back for a modern date spot. They also offer pool tables and private event space.

Definitely my favorite spot to bowl! It's the cleanest, nicest and hippest alley. The ambiance is great for a night out with friends, a work gathering, or date night. The pool tables are also well maintained. Both are pricey, but so worth it. The best part is no one under 21 allowed past 9pm. The bar lounge is a very cool spot to hang out and watch the genes on the many big screens. They've got it all here, and you do get what you pay for.

All bowling lanes are too crowded. There's not enough space for the lil sit in area between the lanes.

This place is awesome!!! The food, bowling, staff, and whole atmosphere is amazing! Would definitely recommend this place to anyone who loves to bowl!

Weeks ago, after trying to get a table at other establishments at this mall to watch football on a Sunday, we ended up at Lucky Strike. The more traditional places for spectators all had over an hour wait. We've come back every week since. Absolutely great service from Amanda every week. We've eaten something different each week and it's always great. The thing that surprises me is we are always the only people in there watching football and at the bar. I'm not a bowler so I had no idea this place was so nice and offered a restaurant/bar with great TVs for watching sports. They could pack this place every Sunday if they got the word out as to what they offer other than bowling.

I used to be a regular here a decade ago, and now pop in once in a while. My husband and I stopped in for a drink after a day of shopping yesterday. We ordered two glasses of wine. The portions were very small. I'd guess them to be 4 oz pours, not the standard 6 or 8 oz. The vibes are still fun and lively. We didn't have food, but we have had food many times in the past. It's bar food, so don't expect anything super gourmet. Service was fine. Overall its a fun spot, but I wouldn't order a glass of wine again.

We went for my sister's bday on a Sunday. There was around 20 of us spread out between 2 bowling lanes and the bar area. Our server Brandon was awesome. There were only 2 servers and a runner for the whole place and Brandon did an amazing job. He got everyone's order correct and always came back to check on us and put in more drink orders. He was running around the entire place but always had a smile on his face. The food was good but the service we received was excellent and unexpected. Nowadays with so many bad service at restaurants, it was so nice to receive such amazing service.

Always love going here for a great drink and fun date night. For a regular serious bowler it may not be their cup of tee but for the casual, its more than suitable in my opinion. Ambiance: This place has a fun date night/work event type of feel although I also see families with young children here too. Drinks: The drinks are pretty solid here and they seem to update the menu quite regularly which is nice for the sale of variety. Service: On a busy night the service can be a bit lacking which is understandable but overall I've never had a bad experience here with any of the servers or their service Food: The food is tastier than you would think for a bowling/bar/pool spot. Its actually quite good. My newest infatuation is with their chicken caesar salad which is a pretty large portion and so so good. Tips: Check this place out on a weekday night when its not so busy and you'll have a great time. Overall: Overall this place is a great option for a night out with the boys or with your significant other. They even have some of the UFC fights from time to time and typically have all the current sports on at any given time.

Lucky strike has been in this location for many years, yet I had never stepped foot in there. I took my 9 year with a few of her friends to celebrate her bday. We went in last minute on a Sunday evening. Thankfully they had lanes, everyone who worked there was kind and efficient. Food came out in a timely manner and was good. We didn't have any problems with the bowling experience, and our service was very attentive.

Reservations: made online, they require 50% deposit. After 4 players everyone is free so it becomes cheaper the more you have in your group (current promotion as of this date's review). Shoes are currently $5 a person to rent. When I called to ask a few questions, Adrian was very helpful on the phone. No wait when we checked in for our game. Lanes: like a few others mentioned, the lanes seem to be thinner than normal bowling lanes, and the bowling seems off in terms of how many pins should have been knocked down vs how many actually were. Once we had them turn off the tv, the glare on our lane disappeared and everyone bowled a lot better. I really liked that each lane/group seating is a lot more private than traditional bowling centers. Food/drinks: I would recommend their pizza, Gouda mac n cheese bites, and their beyond burger. If you order the cauliflower crust your pizza will be smaller than a regular crust pizza. The nachos could use more toppings. Wide variety of cocktail options, but limited wine options. Server was very kind and checked on us frequently which we appreciated. All in all this is a fun place to go for bowling, a lot more food and drink options, staff very friendly. If you're a serious bowler I'm not sure this would be your scene but I would come back again for sure, because I am not a professional bowler. :) Tip: reducing the glare on the lane by having the tv off helped with bowling accuracy, all 7 of us in our group agreed.

We've been coming to the Block... er.... Outlets of Orange for well over 15 years and I don't think we've ever set foot into the bowling alley. We only did this day because I knew there was a restaurant inside and wanted to check it out. When we walked in on a Sunday afternoon around 2:30, we thought the restaurant was closed, so we looked around and left. On the way out, we did see someone eating so we knew they had food. There was also a sign that said to seat yourself. However, the sound of the bowling alley is what really made us leave. Well, after checking with another nearby hamburger restaurant, and finding out there was a wait, decided to pop back to Lucky Strike and give it a shot. We sat down, scanned the QR code for the menu, and began looking around to see if someone was available to help us. The sole bartender eventually brought a menu and got our drink order. After that, it was a typical restaurant experience. The menu is pretty simple, salads and burgers along with a steak option. We ordered a couple of burgers. We both ordered our usual drinks, coke, and diet coke. Now, I don't know what it is about bar soft drinks, but they always taste funny. I can never tell if it's just the alcohol that's been infused with the glassware, or just the mix coming from their push-button soft drink hose, but dang, I wish someone would figure it out. The burgers took s a while to get to us, but dang, the burgers were mighty fine! The fries had the perfect amount of seasoning. They were both well worth the wait. Sadly, my Diet Coke was like a 12oz glass that went pretty quickly and it was difficult to flag down a bartender to get a refill. The total cost was about $30, which isn't bad for 2 people and probably the same, or maybe less than we would have paid at the 50ish-style diner across the walkway. The burger was definitely better! One note, they do make you open a tab when you sit down. I assume they expect you to maybe bowl later. We just paid for the meal in advance and were done with it, but they did require a credit card. No big deal though. We'll definitely consider this place again though, and heck might even come back to bowl!

This location served our party of 25 today. We ordered alll the bowling stuff and 3 lanes and we played for a few hours. The food was decent and we brought our own food too. The service was humble and the ambiance was clean. Parking was packed at the block but good flow of customers coming in and out. Huge bar area. Lots of pool tables. Wish there was better music.

It's been a very long time since I've bowled and when a group of friends suggested it, I was up for it! We went to Lucky Strike and made a reservation for us all. Prices were very reasonable considering the location and atmosphere of the place! Very cool interior and lighting. We had a few bites from their menu and it was really good! Almost forgot I was at a bowling alley!! I'd definitely come back here as I forgot how much fun bowling can be! Parking can be a pain at the Block but they do have valet for only $10!

Bowling for Father's Day for my son along with his son. I went on lucky strikes website and made reservations in advance for 1:00pm This location is at The Grove in Orange County. The parking is always packed. They offer $10.00 valet parking but you park your own car. Which is a rip off. I circled several times and was able to find FREE parking. Checking in at lucky strike was smooth and easy. I booked for 2 hours of bowling. We were able to get 4 games in within 2 hours. The bowling shoes are an additional $5.00 each pair. The shoes were filthy!! I couldn't wait to finally take them off at the end of our bowling. My son and grandson ordered a pepperoni pizza at $16.00 an Pretzel bites with dipping sauce for $14.00 The pizza was just okay as you can tell it was frozen pizza. My son said the Pretzel bites were pretty good though. Our waitress was attentive and checked in on us several times. I spent approximately 170.00 for bowling, rental bowling shoes and food to include a tip. Quite an expensive outing today but we all had a good time bowling.

Lucky strike is a great spot. The place is easy to find and the service was great very nice . Highly recommend!

The place itself is pretty nice. If you're looking for a good bar experience that has a bowling alley then this might be the spot for you. I am unfortunately critiquing them on the bowling part. I came here looking for a bowling alley that had a bar. Unfortunately the bowling alley or should I say lanes for whatever reason were subpar. I like to put a bit of a curve on my throat, but at this particular location, my balls were curving like no other. Made me question some stuff lol Overall, the experience was good, do you pay a bit more for the name, but I just wanted to bowl, and it seemed for whatever reason the lanes weren't oiled up as much as they should be. I honestly won't come back just for that reason. As I mentioned, I have a good curve, but when my balls curve, more thin, Greg Maddux curveball, then I know if there is a problem lol

Amazing experience. Place is vibrant and upbeat. Menu looks great, but was t hungry. Staff were very friendly and highly attentive. Great experience.

This place is nasty. I took my grandson for an afternoon of bowling fun and it was so disappointing. Well first of all you take a chance with these shoes to beginning with but when they come with the dirtiest oldest shoe laces you have ever seen with it's own film that I can only describe as gummy, it's pretty disgusting. I told the girl and she said they are working at replacing them. How hard can that be??? Instead you see knots along laces to keep them together. The child bowling apparatus that is used for small children to help them roll the bowl was falling apart, looked dangerous and as if someone put it together from stuff they found in their back yard. The other one they had was broken and was left in corner. Not to mention the game kept freezing and had to go tell the attendant. It was $40 for an hour and $7 for the gummy shoelace shoes. I won't be going back.

This place was really cool! Shout out to Malachi he was really cool and attentive. I appreciated his recommendations which were all super good! The Toffee Martini was so yummy I got 2 lol not very strong which was for my own good lmao Bavarian pretzel- So good! I loved the coarse salt on it. Mac and cheese bites- i liked these a lot! the texture and taste were solid Boneless wings (buffalo flavor)- when i crave wings, these are the kind of wings that hit the spot! not too breaded and the buffalo flavor was a nice tangy that i liked. birria tacos- there were 3 in an order and they were surprisingly delicious! i wouldn't have expected a bowling alley to serve good tacos lol Calamari- i didn't eat much of it but my family seemed to really enjoy them my only gripe is that the couches and tables are so low and close together that eating was kind of uncomfortable and i had to climb over my mom whenever it was my turn to bowl. i guess i get the vibe that they were going for but not functional.
