Uncle Buck's Fish Bowl and Grill in Iowa

"Went here for the first time and was not disappointed. Was greeted as soon as we walked in. Staff was extremely friendly. Prices were kinda high for my liking but everything was amazing. We had a great time bowling and the drinks looked at tasted amazing. 10/10 I would recommend"

"We went there just because we wanted fish and chips that were close to us in proximity. We walked in and it was an arcade and a bowling alley too, right inside of Bass Pro Shop!! We got the pretzel and queso as an app and it was out super fast and tasted great. The fish and chips were good, the shrimp and chips (not pictured) was even better. I’d reccommend this for a quick date night, family night, going out with co workers, really any small event. Super cute, service was fast and easy going. 10/10 will go back."

"Out of the way location, unless you're headed to the outlet mall, anyway. Food is mediocre at best. Made contact with six members of the staff, and 3 were unhelpful and annoyed that I asked them to do their jobs. Plus, I overheard 3 waitstaff complain about their tables and make jokes about the food -- We were at our table, they were less than three feet away - one doing silverware and the other two just complaining. Don't go on a weekend to bowl, you'll have a two plus hour wait for a lane and they won't let you check in over the phone (I called to check wait times before we arrived). When I attempted to comment on this, the hostess rudely interrupted to tell me my wait would have been the same if I had checked in when I got there- which isn't what I was saying. Bathrooms were clean, bartender and guy on the bowling side were polite and ready to assist. Our actual waitress was more than helpful, kind and always moving her feet. When I asked about different foods and drinks, she was very knowledgeable about the menu and spry when it came to incidentals - needing refills, dips for corn dogs for the kids, etc. TLDR; Unique atmosphere. Eat before you come or get something fried. Call to check wait times for lanes, check in when you first arrive. Drinks are good, pizza is standard. Worst case scenario, make a drinking game out of spying the mermaids."

"We had fun bowling but we had wanted to sit in the restaurant and eat first but got hurried along to the bowling lane where we “could order” food at too. There was no servers for the lanes, you had to go to the desk or bar to even place an order for food. The fried pickles and cheese balls were really good and the pizza was decent. The chicken strips were tasty and quality chicken meat but they were barely any bigger than the fries, which were overly salted. Ended up being a far more expensive an outing than we had hoped for. Enjoyed the underwater design but the rest became lack luster. Shoes are $4.50 and the lanes are booked by the half hour. We just barely got our sixth person their 10th and final turn before our hour was up."

"Kira & Kyle are the friendliest people! So helpful and sweet. The service was amazing, drinks refilled right away without asking. Food came out hot and tasted amazing. Kyle brought an extra Chipotle ranch to the table for us. We'll definitely be back! 10 out of 10 stars!"

"I loved the interior design here. The fish tank at the bar was cool to watch while having a drink, the bar seats are fishing boat chairs. The bowling allies are sea themed. The only thing was it seemed very understaffed. Despite that, the pink haired girl that helped us said she just started, and she took care of us very well. As far as the food, the fish and chips was sort of lacking flavor, however the pizza looked like it could be good."

"The food was great as was the service. We sat at the bar. Even though the restaurant was extremely busy when we were there, we received our food quickly, it was just the right temperature and was of excellent quality. The bartender made drinks for us that weren't on the menu and did a great job. We had not been to this establishment for over 10 years but we will certainly be back soon!"

"This is a neat concept. Bar, bowling, restaurant, and arcade all rolled into one. Then you have the option of shopping in the Bass Pro Shop if needed. It's an interesting way to keep the entire family in one place. The games in the arcade seemed okay. The entire restaurant, especially the bowling lanes were nicely designed and decorated. The aquarium that the bar encircled was pretty, and clean, which is important if you're eating. The food was kind of limited so we didn't have much interest to try anything besides the fries. The cocktails that Noah suggested were fantastic!"
