THE GRILL at the Dome / Home of SPORTZONE — Restaurant in Town of Tonawanda

The grill restaurant is okay. If the wings are smaller, they give extra. The fries aren't salted so stick with the chips. The sandwich I ordered was supposed to come with a cornbread bun that I was really excited about, but it was just a plain white bun like those with burgers got. There isn't a drink menu so you have to describe what you want and they have to match it up to what they offer. And the service and pace is slowwww. It's great if you want to spend a couple hours socializing and not feel rushed, but even when we were done it took 15 more minutes to get the check. It's also quite loud inside, but the outdoor seating is mostly shaded from the sun and a decent option.

And after the food, we tried SportZone. The website makes it look amazing with projectors and real sport equipment used to record your speed and hit targets... It's just okay. For $45 an hour total for up to 5 players, you can rent one of the 5 zones with your own area with seats and a counter. There were no instructions. She turned on the computer and walked away. There were balls in the corner - 1 football tee, 5 left handed hockey sticks and no right handed, a soccer ball, a handful of dodgeballs, 2 baseballs etc. Not enough for all 5 zones but I don't think all 5 are in use often. We asked if they had right handed sticks and she said they'd look into it. The calibration was a bit off and while there were levels to choose from, there also was a boost button that didn't seem to do anything, and unless you were skilled at adjusting aim to the changing calibrations, it was more of a fun throw things vibe than a training simulator. The carnival games were our favorite, and zombie dodgeball. One hour is more than enough and it is cheap if you don't order drinks to just have something...

Frequent here for the golf on the cooler days. Decided to grab a beer and quick bit at The Grill. We've frequented it before; usually just for a couple drinks since every time we've tried the food it's been subpar, over done, not done, wrong order etc.... so we gave up with the food years ago. We tried again after many years and, well it's still the same with the food and over priced for it. Chili was bland. No flavor, no depth. Just ingredients thrown in a pot with canned tomatoes. The base was so watery, I sent it back. Pretzel sticks were okay. Not quite sure why you'd have 4 pretzel sticks a only give one small container of sauce- beer cheese. Restaurants give a minimum of at least 2 of not 3 dipping flavors. Beer cheese was good but pretzel sticks were overdone. Our waitress was great giving her 3 stars, but we didn't really see her. Atmosphere 3 stars for the amount of sports shown on multiple tv's. We were hoping after their massive renovations years ago, maybe the food would compliment it. Nope. Not worth the money when you can go anywhere else for the same price and get great and...

Private banquet on October 21, 2023….I will NEVER visit this establishment again. The owner’s father and brother have no customer service skills and shouldn’t speak to customers. I’m still waiting to hear from the owner and since he isn’t going to reach out to me I will leave this review. I originally planned to have my event at My Tomato Pie, they were booked for the evening in question. I have had over 10 events at My Tomato Pie without any incidents. My experience at The Dome was horrible, Wi-Fi didn’t work efficiently, only one waitress for our party(needed at least 2) no AV equipment(which was needed for my event), pizza was burnt and the kitchen tried to serve it to us, I sent it back, the pizza was terrible and my guests didn’t eat it! Restrooms are terrible. When I received the bill at the end of the night no gratuity was added for the one waitress, she calculated 15% of the bill and I left her 120 plus an additional 50 for her service. The only saving grace was Samantha, our waitress, who tried to salvage the event. Will go to My Tomato Pie for these type of events....
