Bowling nights are meant to be a fun and engaging way to spend time with friends and family, fostering a spirit of camaraderie and friendly competition. However, our recent experience at a local bowling alley turned out to be anything but enjoyable. The combination of faulty equipment and poor customer service led to an evening filled with frustration and disappointment, ultimately resulting in our group being kicked out of the establishment.

From the moment we arrived, the issues began to unfold. The alley was bustling with activity, which initially seemed promising. However, as we settled into our assigned lane, it became clear that the equipment was not up to par. The scoring system was glitchy, frequently miscalculating scores and resetting mid-game. The lane itself was poorly maintained, with inconsistent oil patterns causing the ball to veer unpredictably. These issues significantly hindered our ability to enjoy the game, as we spent more time addressing technical problems than actually bowling.

Despite our attempts to make the best of the situation, the frustration grew as the evening progressed. We reported the issues to the staff multiple times, hoping for a resolution. Unfortunately, the response we received was far from satisfactory. The employees appeared indifferent to our concerns, offering only minimal assistance and showing little urgency in addressing the technical difficulties. Their lack of professionalism and empathy exacerbated our frustration, leaving us feeling ignored and undervalued as customers.

As the technical problems persisted, our group's patience wore thin. The constant interruptions and malfunctioning equipment sapped the enjoyment out of the game, leading to a growing sense of dissatisfaction. After another round of complaints to the staff yielded no meaningful response, we expressed our discontent more vocally. This seemed to trigger a negative reaction from the management, who approached us with a defensive attitude.

Instead of acknowledging the issues and attempting to rectify the situation, the manager accused us of being disruptive and unreasonable. Their unwillingness to address the legitimate concerns we raised was both surprising and disappointing. The situation escalated quickly, with the manager insisting that we leave the premises if we were unhappy with the service. Despite our efforts to explain the extent of the problems and our desire for a fair resolution, we were ultimately escorted out of the bowling alley.

Being kicked out of the establishment was a shocking and disheartening end to what should have been an enjoyable evening. The experience left us feeling unfairly treated and deeply dissatisfied with the level of service provided. The combination of malfunctioning equipment and poor customer service highlighted significant shortcomings in the bowling alley's operations, underscoring the importance of maintaining functional equipment and treating customers with respect and empathy.

In the wake of this disappointing experience, it is crucial for the management of the bowling alley to reassess their approach to customer service and equipment maintenance. Ensuring that all lanes are properly maintained and that scoring systems are reliable is fundamental to providing a positive bowling experience. Moreover, staff training should emphasize the importance of addressing customer concerns with professionalism and courtesy.

For those considering a visit to this particular bowling alley, our experience serves as a cautionary tale. While the potential for a fun and enjoyable evening exists, the reality may fall short if the establishment continues to neglect its equipment and customer service standards. Ultimately, a night out should be a source of joy and relaxation, not frustration and...

This was all the fun of something like a "Peter Piper Pizza" or "Chuck E. Cheese", but with much more! (Posted 05\02\23) Theater: I went to a movie with my husband during a matinee, prices were average to others, and they had a closed captioning device that I was able to borrow. There are no stairs outside or inside the building, so getting a wheelchair to the theater for seating is easy. All of the chairs are super comfy padded like a recliner and even adjust up or laying down like one too. The aisle seats and the two seat combos near handicapped still allow you to lift the drink\armrest for a snuggle time like a love seat couch for those date nights. Sound was nice and not so loud it hurt my ears, but still a theater experience. Temperature was not freezing cold(I even brought a blanket because of past experiences! I didn't need it) smaller theater with less seating. You are able to "reserve" the seats you want if pre -ordering. There are also only 6 screens. Bonus, when I checked in, I was able to order real food from the in house bar, and it was delivered right to my seats! (LOADED nachos for 12$ included sides of salsa, sour cream, guacamole. We added chicken for $2 but it was dried out and chewy... Do not recommend. Also had free refills all day through the entire time of theater and games we played after purchasing my soda. Had to exchange the closed captioning device 15 mins into the movie as it did not work. I recommend checking that out is loading the captions for the screen you are watching EARLY into three movies in case of an error.

Also available: bowling at blacklight colored lanes- $16 per person, per hour with other available specials. Mini 3D golf for $5 per round per person, again glowing neon blacklight themed. A large arcade based around using a "card" System instead of tokens and tickets, it's all digital. Pretty standard selection of toys and rewards to earn with "tickets" and about 90% of games are ticket rewarding games.

My favorite part of the entire place was the bar! Adults are allowed to order alcoholic drinks and carry them around a certain reasonable area, order bar types of food like burgers, nachos, onion rings and fries(including sweet potato fries) and a full bar which had a variety of beers like cans, bottles and fresh IPA from local distilleries\breweries on tap. Happy hour and "reverse" happy hour priced on different days, and also regular Bud and Bud Light. What is better than arriving for a long birthday party for the kids, having a little bit of fun playing some games, but REALLY able to chill and enjoy how long you have to stay than with a drink or two?! We are 40 abd 46, and we had a blast for 6...

I just recently hosted an event at Fat Cats Gilbert for 30 people and it was an overall great experience. The events team was very quick to respond and thorough with their explanations of packages. When I arrived, there was a sign that said "so-and-so group: 1-6". It would have been nicer if they said "So-and-so group: Lanes 1-6" so that it was easier for my attendees to know where we were. But the sign was welcoming! The party hosts immediately greeted me and explained everything for the night. They were very personable, friendly, and available to help answer any questions that I may have. Getting bowling shoes was easy and seamless. The party hosts updated me as to when the food was going to be set up and everything was very prompt. The party hosts rounded often with me and my attendees to make sure all needs were met!

Venue: Great! The area we had was clean and because it was at night, the vibe was fun. We had 6 lanes and our party hosts let us know that if we needed more, they would block off the next 2 lanes in the case more people showed up.

Games: The bowling was seamless and everyone had a blast! When we had issues (balls being stuck, etc...) they were quick to respond and fix it.

Food: Food was served promptly and was warm. In terms of taste, the food was good. Was it the best food ever? No, but good and appropriate quality for the venue and event. Everything I ordered was there without a missing item. The ONLY problem that we had was that there was food leftover (probably enough to feed 10-15 more people) and they would NOT allow us to take it home. Technically, I had paid for all of the food, but all of the leftovers were left at Fat Cats. When we asked if the food was at least going to be given to the homeless or at least to staff to take home, we were told that it was not. The food was literally going to be thrown away into a trash can. Potato salad, macaroni salad, bbq chicken, mac and cheese, burgers and all the fixings. It was such a colossal waste of resources and food. If I paid for the food, I should be able to take home the leftovers, or it should be used in a way that is beneficial to society....not the garbage can.

Overall, our event was great! If they fixed the leftover food issue, it would be a no brainer to book this...

UPDATE!! (12/4/21): We've thought of Fat Cats Gilbert as "our own little version of "Cheers" for almost two years. We're always here!! You know how some places are always so focused on getting new customers, that they forget "who brought 'em to the dance!"??? Not so with Bob & Laura Short and Crew!!! Today was my birthday and when we walked in the door we were greeted with a "Happy Birthday!!!" from owner Laura Short! Christian at the Front Desk continued the happy greetings! We moved on up to our Lane and the Scoreboard shown "HAPPY BIRTHDAY LORI!!" scrolling across the bottom and a balloon bouquet on our table!!! Talk about feeling special!! The good times and great service flowed on through the food and drinks (with Scotty artfully handling the Bar! He has a great pour!!) Even with scads of Birthday Parties, work celebrations and an exuberant baseball time on board -- we were treated excellently and like FAMILY! Thank you Fat Cats Gilbert!!! Here's to another year together!!! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’š We had a GRAND time this past weekend attending the "Easter EGGstravaganza at Fat Cats - Gilbert"!!! It started with the friendly welcome we received at the Front Door, where we were greeted BY NAME and invited to come in and play! We had our own lane set up, with festive balloon decorations and a sign "naming" the lane for our group that day. Our table was set for us with plates/cutlery AND AN EASTER BASKET for the kiddos!! We bowled and bowled and soon they began bringing our steaming platters stuffed to the edges with Eggs, Bacon, Sausages and Fried Taters -- all individually cooked for each sperate group of partiers!! This was only to be outdone by the healing platter of Danish, Donuts and Muffins!!! YUMMMMEEE!!! The KICKER was when "The Man of the Hour" -- THE EASTER BUNNY hopped on in and spent time with each Lane separately -- giving hugs and taking photos!!! A bit later a drawing was held for a Deluxe Basket for one lucky Lane!! Fat Cats - Gilbert's stellar staff kept every request filled and the good times rollin'!! We've attended several Celebrations at Fat Cats - Gilbert and Bob & Laura Short (and Crew) ALWAYS put the "Special" in SPECIAL EVENT!!!

I love Fat Cats. I have the Pogo pass which allows us one free game of bowling and one free game of mini golf a week. Monday through Thursday or Friday before 5:00.. I am a Fat Cats loyalty member. The Alley cat membership is for you. You earn points for every dollar you spend. I paid the $25 for the upgraded membership annually. When my brother goes he gives them my phone number so I earn points whenever he goes to fat cats too. You can extra points on certain days. I save up and redeem 400 points for a $50 game card. I end up getting a $50 game card at least four times a year. Instead of just Tuesday you get $5 movies on Mondays also. Before all the changes Harkins with my go-to theater. The only place I see movies now is at Fat Cats.. I pay $25 for the popcorn bucket at the beginning of the year. And usually get two $16 drink cups. After six visits my popcorn bucket saves me at least $5 every time I visit, even with the cost of the refill being $3. My favorite food is popcorn and so we end up getting even on the days when we're there to bowl and not see a movie. I love movie theater popcorn so much that some days I just go in to buy popcorn. The theater seats are comfortable. The employees are awesome. I am addicted to the pearls arcade game!
