Pins & Ales - Tooele — Restaurant in Tooele

are you kidding me? Not a place to go eat. maybe ok if you only want a bar. Same company as Bonneville but you wouldn't know it except for the beer. Indifferent service at best and that is being VERY kind. The absolute Worst food in the Tooele Valley by far. Caesar salad was worse than McDonalds and came with a vinaigrette, not caesar dressing. Bag lettuce with a few croutons and 3 scraps of chicken (I ordered chicken oh wait there it is). Club sandwich was marginal though it came with thick cut bacon that was ok. Side salad with the sandwich was more bag lettuce and a few croutons, same vinaigrette as the "caesar" entree. Non-existent service. I mean like zero service. We sat there for more than an hour before the food finally showed up, just as I was about to get up and tell them "hey forget it cancel the food". Then the "server" with a drive-by dropoff ran back into the kitchen so quickly, I had to get up and stand at the bar for 10 minutes (yep, nobody home) and ASK for eating utensils. If you only want a bar, maybe ok, but go to bonneville instead unless you really...

My husband and I came here for our first night out in 19 months...and sadly we weren't super happy with it. The food just was not very good. We got the spinach dip, rueben sandwich and cheesesteak. The spinach dip was extremely runny and tasted like some prepackaged frozen stuff, the rueben had 2 thin slices of pastrami and a plethora of sauerkraut, and the cheesesteak was served on a small hard roll that was indeed hard. I couldn't even bite through it. The fries and tatertots were good... We also got a couple beers and cocktails. I do not recommend the Moscow mules. The ginger was so overwhelming my lips and throat were on fire and neither of us ended up feeling very well. We went to the attached arcade after dinner and had some fun over there but the games could use some serious maintenance....broken buttons, incorrect scoring, not enough balls, hanging wires traping balls.....just not the best time out for a first time in a long time. Probably...

This bowling alley is more than just bowling—it’s an entertainment hub with bumper cars, laser tag, and a variety of new, visually stunning arcade games. These aren’t the old-school pinball machines or simple Space Invaders (though I did play a revamped Space Invaders game with a giant screen and a gun that was pretty wild). The arcade is top-of-the-line, but the games aren’t cheap, reflecting how expansive and immersive they are.

The beer was surprisingly good, albeit expensive, and the chips and salsa the family I was with ordered looked delicious. While the kids will love the visual overload and endless options, be prepared to set boundaries—it’s easy to spend more than expected. At over $50 an hour for a lane (with lanes not in the best shape), the bowling itself feels overpriced, but the variety of entertainment makes it a fun spot to visit...
