Uncle Buck's Fish Bowl & Grill

The food here is spectacular. It's a little more expensive that you would pay in town but once you see the portion size, you'll understand why. They seem to always be understaffed for some reason which takes so long time for specifically alcoholic beverages, and appetizers to come out in a timely manner. Plus getting your ticket at the end takes a wee bit. But you can always make a reservation here and I promise the food is always going to be delicious. Worth the wait.

Brought my family here to celebrate our first teenage birthday. We had celebrated a birthday a few years back at an Uncle Buck's in Colorado Springs and were so excited to find one within an hour of us in our new state. We came to bowl and ride go-carts on the Fun Mountain side of the resort, but this review will be strictly on the bowling portion of our experience. As per usual Uncle Buck's fashion, the atmosphere was on par. We got there just as they opened at 11:00 am and the place was immaculately clean. The front desk sells the Fun Mountain cards, which you load with money and allows you to do all the on-site activities you want with a swipe of a card. Once you load your card, you walk around to the back of the front desk to reserve your lane and order your shoe rentals. We only wanted an hour of lane time and had six players. Since our lane was already open, our time started the moment they swiped our card. This is my biggest PROBLEM with this location. By the time everyone got their shoes, tried them on, traded for a size up or down, found an acceptable ball weight and size, ran to the bathroom and logged our names into the lane, we had already lost 10-15 minutes of our lane time. Every other bowling location allows you time to get settled in and log your names in AND THEN starts your timer. We had to rush through the last few frames in order to finish our game before our time ran out and that was a tad frustrating, especially to my bowling league champion dad, who is in his retirement years now and was looking forward to playing a game again after all these years. Overall, the place has the signature atmosphere. It is clean and they're maintaining the lanes very nicely. Our lane was not equipped with pop-up gutter guards, so ask for that when you reserve your lane. The lanes we did see gutter guards on were fixed, so keep that in mind as well. Due to the time starting as we were given a lane, I'd also suggest reserving an hour over the number of games you plan to play if you prefer a leisurely playing experience as we do.

I ate here and we were not impressed. Our service was just not good. I didn't feel like my waitress cared what I wanted and definitely didn't show it. We waited almost 15 minutes just for drinks. Our waitress was not welcoming and mellow. She could have been having a bad day but I feel that is no excuse for being a bad waitress. We also order honey mustard and we never got it. We asked for refills of our drinks and didn't get them for about 15 minutes. We also had to cancel one of our meals because everyone else got their food and was almost finished and we still had not received one of our orders. We will not be coming again.

Staff were friendly and helpful! The kids enjoyed the slides when you first enter. I love that those are there because the kids played while we purchased to get in. We only did bowling...it was hard to get 6 bowlers through one round in an hour (especially with 3 young kids), but at 50 an hour, plus more for shoes, we didn't want to spend more. We made it through round nine and ran out of time. It was still super fun and the kids loved the animal designs.

10 star! All three, atmosphere, service, food,all of it. We left top of the rock looking for a quick burger and stumbled upon this place. Please visit if you’re visiting Branson. And if you come here for a bite to eat I hope you get the waiter we had! The waiters name on our ticket is Jeremy B. This gentleman is an EXCELLENT waiter!!!…..one of the best we have ever encountered. Thank you Jeremy for a wonderful experience! Check this place out if at all possible!

Laser tag, bowling, go carts, rock climbing, good food, arcade, bar, indoor golf, lounges, play areas, and more this place is an absolute blast! They spared NO expense in the decor, quality of the games, space for party sizes or ideas to have fun. There’s no way I can list all they have available just in this review, but we just explored ONE of the buildings, Fun Mountain, there was not enough time in one day to get to do everything. Don’t come for an hour or two, plan for the entire day if not a couple of days to get to do everything, at least in this building. You can stay on site in their suites or stay off site in the numerous hotels that surround the area.

Uncle Buck’s is inside Fun Mountain here at Big Cedar Lodge. Fun Mountain is for the young or adventurous young at heart with an arcade, laser tag, and more. The bowling alley has a beautiful ocean theme and has a couple of pool tables in there, too. We had a pottery class in a room in Fun Mountain, so we had lunch at Uncle Buck’s. My fish and chips were great and a generous portion. My husband loved his hangover burger. I had an Ozark Tea cocktail and loved it. Jeremy, our waiter, has a voice for radio that we loved to hear, and he was attentive and patient.

Went for the go carts they are very fun with a power boost to use twice. The place is very nice the bowling look fun and the all the activities were nice
