We went to Splitsville last week. Had a great time bowling. It was Christmas week so DTD was very crowded and Splisville was packed. When we checked in around 1 pm there was a 2 hour wait for lanes. It didn't matter to us since we had no schedule. We walked around DTD for an hour or so then went back. We were number 12 on the wait list. They give you a pager while waiting.
They have a neat wait list monitor where you can see how many parties are ahead of you. The monitor is on the first floor near the check in area. When you number comes up your pager goes off. You head to the check in spot and they get you set up. They load all your party's shoes in a bin and you get escorted to our assigned lane, 1-30. They get you to your lane, explain the system to you and you start bowling. All scores and tracking is automatic. You get 90 minutes at your lane and can bowl as much as you want during that time. The balls are all in racks and you just pick one that matches your size and weight you want. $15/person during afternoons and late evening, $20/person during prime time hours around dinner.
You have waitress service at the lanes and can order food or drinks as you want. After you are done you just leave your shoes at the lane and head out. It's pretty organized and works well. I am sure after Christmas things slowed down a lot. If we get back over there I'll check the wait times on a normal day. You can also make reservations on the Splitsville web site. During holiday times they do not take reservations. They offer no discounts on food or bowling other than Cast members.
Now as far as food and drinks, we just had appetizers and bar drinks. The appetizers were OK, nothing special. Our bar drinks were pretty bad. We had several varieties and they all sucked. Mixed wrong, wrong amounts of stuff, some in plastic glasses, some in glass. I am hoping it was an opening issue but these were pretty poor.
Other than that we had a fun time and would go back. Holler if any questions.
