Pin & Cue — Restaurant in Whitefish

Diner food can be good, albeit simple. Yet this place just doesn't know how to cook food. Be proud but everything is store bought pre made pre packaged, onion rings, fries, wings, mash, sauces, soups, hash browns, hollandaise. No real Cooking going on tbh. Bacon and eggs, burgers and sandwhiches are hard to mess up. Their burritos, chicken fried steak, more specialty items are terrible, no seasoning, no flavor, weird combinations, just awful food. You don't CUT breakfast burritos in half on a bias. You can be proud, the food is still very bad. Chicken fried steak is over breaded, the crumb separates and breaks all up, mash is packaged and brown gravy is doused all over the whole thing, so you're screwed. Would be Nice if you could run away for a bite of something else but the dish is damaged by dousing everything in fake au jus. They had green sautéed bell peppers and zucchini which were weird choice, burnt parts and raw bell pepper, no salt, no pepper, the zucchini wasnt cut properly as the cuts weren't deep Enough you'd have a big chunk supposed to be four pieces. They forgot the Texas toast that's supposed to come with it. broccoli and cream/cheese soup was store bought, if it wasn't it should be cause it was super bland too. Frozen mozz sticks sucked with gross jarred acidic marinara. Hash browns on the breakfast burrito had no color, were white uncooked hash brown, no crisp, no texture no salt/pepper. Overall just super lazy cooking with no flavor. Dunno why you cut the burrito, all the filling comes flopping out and the burrito goes cold quicker. Should've ordered a burger or fish and chips, or tenders. Can't really mess those up as the company you buy your frozen food from...

I have bowled here in League for more than a decade.

In that time there have been aesthetic improvements which are nice: roof! Bathrooms, scoring displays and ball returns, flooring in the alley.

However in that time bowling pricing has increased dramatically. From a few bucks for a game for league members or during specific windows to hourly bowling (normal rate is $45/hour). If you need shoes that will be another $5/person.

Hourly billing fundamentally does not make sense for the game: it will shutdown if you are in the 9th frame if your time expires 🙃.

Ultimately my biggest frustration is for all intents and purposes the bowling experience has gotten worse for non casual bowlers as the guts of the alley have aged: pins are often misplaced (e.g. 5 and headpin are not aligned), pin setters dropping pins regularly. Lane 8 has been breaking multiple times a series for months. Oil is dramatically inconsistent from lane to lane to the point during league play I will throw different balls between left and right lane.

Staffing is a mixed bag, in general everyone is helpful and doing their best, but often the bowling desk don't know how to operate the new system or don't know how to fix an issue with the lanes expeditiously (while your clock is running btw), not for lack of trying but lack of training is my take.

We went from bowling as a family of five regularly to only as a special treat in whitefish.

We find increasingly we are driving to bigfork from whitefish for...

Came in here with a large group so we ended up on two lanes. I’ve been to San Diego and bowled there and in a place that is nicer in downtown, was only $25/hour. This place is $45/hour per lane which is completely outrageous. There were 8 lanes open but they had us wait until someone else was finished instead of giving us the open lanes. Appeared they had league night after closing and they didn’t want to use those lanes because they cleaned them and didn’t want to do it again. Just my guess. We were unaware of the no outside food or beverages policy and brought in water bottles for our children. The man at the desk very rudely told us we had to put them in the car, when asked about if it was ok because it’s just water and only for the kids, he just repeated himself with annoyance. Our lanes malfunctioned no less than 5 times each. And it took them several minutes each time to fix the issue, wasting more of the time we paid for. We started at the same time, but somehow the kids lane ended 5 minutes before ours, and when we questioned the people at the desk, they said it had zero time. They obviously wanted us to leave because of how they argued with us. The video games are WAY over priced. One machine is $1 for a chance to win a small piece of candy. ABSURD. Only people in the entire place that were polite and attentive, was...
