    The staff were not very professional and welcoming upon our arrival, and dissmissed us when we asked for support. I wouldn’t want to go there again for sure

    Meant to put N/A for food and drinks as I did not order anything but didn't have an option to put N/A so I rated food 3 stars to be neutral. Otherwise, we were very pleased with our experience overall and when we showed up early for our reservation we got our lane early. Definitely would continue coming there.

    We had a great time. Our server Kiera was fantastic. The lanes were OK, there could have been more XL bowls around. The payment was a little clunky that we had to pay 3 different places for pre-drinks, game drinks, and the lanes. All together great times, ambiance was good, energy was good.

    Fun place for a happy hour as they have bowling alleys and a game area. Dry ribs and chicken wings were solid! Surprisingly, really enjoyed their ice cream sandwich more than I expected for dessert! Highly recommend if you like peanut butter cookies and chocolate gelato.

    Hi Rose, Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed happy hour, the bowling, and our games area. We're especially happy that our ice cream sandwich was a hit! It's always great to hear when a dessert exceeds expectations. We truly appreciate the recommendation and can't wait to welcome you back for another fun visit! Team National

    I just want to give a quick shout out to our server Laik and The National for being so accommodating! We had a party of 14 and planned to bowl and have dinner— the entire experience was seamless from the second we walked in! Truly happy I chose The National to celebrate my birthday !! Thank you so much
