Alley Cats Bowling — Restaurant in Red Cloud

Alley Cats Bowling opened in early 2024 and is a much-needed addition to Red Cloud's restaurant scene. Don and Tammy renovated the old bowling alley into a mod, 1960s-era joint with colorful retro furnishings and a super fun vibe. Six lanes of bowling are available for you to knock down the pins. They expanded the dining room to offer breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and the food is really quite delicious (numerous people recommended the Reuben, and I second that). It's a family business with their daughters and son-in-law all stepping up to give you a great experience.

The proprietors, a lovely couple, were extremely friendly and talked about their journey to red cloud when they stopped by our table. Everything--the service, food, ambiance--was excellent. I couldn't recommend this bowling...

We had four great meals here during our short stay in Red Cloud! Yep, it's a bowling alley. Yep, they serve great food. Their house-made pastrami was outstanding. Ditto for the house-made corned beef in the corned beef hash! That's a breakfast that will keep you fueled for hours. Same for the burrito bowl, Alley Cat's take on chorizo and eggs. The crispy chorizo added great texture and the green sauce smothering was spectacular! Was not expecting a dish like this in a bowling alley in Nebraska. Definitely would eat here again, and...
