Lakeside Lanes in Tavares - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Always a great time, the South seems to be very friendly and very helpful. For being a bowling alley is pretty clean, I haven't had too many issues going there.

Awesome leagues for everyone! The staff is outstanding and very professional! Highly recommend!

Always pleasant and helpful personnel. Love it

Amazing value in comparison to others. If you like to bowl this is worth the travel to save money and still have great experience

Always have a good time bowling. Grew up here in lake county with only two to go to. This one by far is the biggest. And the people are always cool. Even though I have always got bad luck at biz etc. I was there on a crazy busy day and they serve ya at the tables. We couldn’t order even drinks. lol. Anyways. That’s over and again we will try. Love the place to hang and be alive. Ps. Videos are wicked old. But always been a cool place. My kids still love going.

Nice friendly staff service is fast 😎

Haven't bowled there, but the smell of oil on the lanes is intoxicating. Went there just for the Pro Shop. Picked up a ball, and Chase and David are awesome. Super knowledgeable and willing to go the extra mile to make sure you get the best bowling ball for your needs. A lot has changed since the 90's and they took the time to help me understand all the new tech with the new materials in a bowling ball.

Friendly staff, great scoring conditions

Our favorite place to go bowling! Clean and nice atmosphere

First and last time I come here.

Fun time at the bowling alley good food good drinks good service great atmosphere

Great place to hangout and have fun. Great prices amazing food and drinks love the staff!! Let’s not forget about the pink hair girl at the counter she is amazing and goes above and beyond for her customers !! Would recommend to go hangout and have fun here at lakeside lanes any day !!!

My granddaughter loves bowling there. She is 4

One of the best bowling alley I've ever been to.

Lakeside Lanes is THE place to have fun bowling! Reasonable rates, good food and great table service! Alley Gators, Summer Seniors League!

A little hidden gem. Older building, but up to date lanes. Well run by management and good people run it. Prices are reasonable and food is good. Was there for a tournament and would go there again in the future.

We like this bowling alley a lot. Clean, friendly. Most recently we attended a birthday party here.

Was there on Saturday, 4/6/2024. This was the wrong venue to hold a large tournament. The staff couldn't handle the pressure. The rundown state of the entire center did not benefit these youth bowlers. The approaches are totally shot. You can see where every right hander has slid for the last however long this place has existed. The pin setters were off and dropping pins constantly. Someone had there ball go missing in the back for an hour! It took the kid asking 3 times then me going to the desk to be met with we are working on it. There were 4 people behind the desk yet no one could go back there? The owners should feel embarrassed of this place and themselves.This tournament was a big deal and this place dropped the ball big time. Ordering food was a fiasco. I will say the free refill was very awesome of them, but in order to get food you had to have a place to be. I even said I'd wait and go eat in the car and was told I couldn't do that. I'm sure this place was awesome 30 years ago but not today it's a run down old horse that needs to be put to pasture.

Here for the Pepsi youth bowling tournament. Nowhere near enough seating for the number of attendees. Barely enough room to get through to the exit doors. I'm also pretty certain they are exceeding the occupancy limit for this facility. Then add in the rude waiting staff, arbitrary rules on food ordering and their policy on outside food and drink. If the leagues choose this place for the next tournament, we will not be paying to come. Might be a nice place to bowl, but not for any tournaments of this size.

Retro style bowling center. Great service. Friendly staff.

Very nice staff, clean and fun.

Some of the staff members were extremely rude during our visit there for Pepsi Tournament this past weekend. They need to follow their own motto hanging in the bathroom " keep calm and be kind to others". Was not a great experience with the interactions I did have.

The staff is very helpful and Friendly. Ask for "My guy Cam". Food is great and the entire place is very reasonably priced. They Geniuanly want you to have an enjoyable experience👍

Great food, good lanes and a all around fun time

Gives me the vibes of my home town center. Love coming out there and always bring my phaze 2 no matter what ball works great on these lanes. I don't know why but it does.

Excellent lane conditions and well maintained. Stop in and roll a few. Call ahead, they have leagues almost every night.

I had fun bowling with friends, it was my first time in many years I will be returning next week.

Great bowling alley! I’ve been bowling here regularly for a few months now and this place is consistently clean with friendly staff. Surprisingly, the food is REALLY good too! I’ve actually stopped in just for lunch a couple times now. Their beer and alcohol is lower priced than any bar around as well. There’s no reason not to go to this place and bowl. It is truly what you expect from a well managed and well maintained bowling alley. Best thing about this bowling alley is Dr. Kenny and his enthusiasm on Tuesday nights.

Very nice bowling alley. Very clean.

Our company Christmas party was here and it was wonderful!

Had a nice cheeseburger.many happy people bowling. Very lively place.

Bad form Lakeside Lanes! My son bowls a youth travel league that has patronized Lakeside on many occasions and usually the house is very accommodating for that particular youth travel program. The date has been “confirmed” for “several months” that we would be bowling there today but for some reason at a very late hour last night an email was sent to the Director of the Travel League that there was a “conflict” and that they could not accommodate the league and it was cancelled. What you may fail to realize, is that some of these youth travel from south of Tampa, north of Gainesville, Lakeland, etc etc. Some get hotel rooms the day before depending on how far they have to travel. Pretty bad showing considering your house was selected to host the Youth Florida Handicap and Pepsi Tournament's next year…let’s hope if you bail on those youth tournaments you give more than a few hours notice….

Would not recommend using your own ball was on lane 25 accidentally went only the right gutter my ball at the end hit something and came flying out to the other side and when my ball returned I had a massive split in my personal ball went and told the manager on site about my ball she looked at it and said yeah that ball is toast and pretty much told me to pound sand and told her about the gutter she said yeah we know so now my 249 dollar ball is trash because of their lane

Really a nice place to have a fun night with friends.

Drinks was good, no smoking inside, we will be back

Amazing place great atmosphere and delicious food.

So fun for family night, the kids love it. Friendly staff and a good snack bar.

What can I say? My kid runs the kitchen.

Well I didn't go there but I can't wait to go there for the Pepsi tournament and the handicap tournament

Super friendly staff and some of the best food in three counties!

The owners and staff are very friendly. I always enjoy my bowling experience. I bowl league Monday afternoons and occasionally bowl the senior fun bowl on Fridays at noon. A chance to win extra money.

The food is amazing. I definitely suggest the cheeseburger as a wrap. It was soooo good! 🤯🤯🤯. Jenny & Rebecca made the night even better with the drinks they served

Had fun staff very friendly and helpful

The carpets were disgustingly dirty and the music is sometimes really loud

This bowling alley, while a bit older, is well-maintained and a great place to play. The staff is friendly, and they even bring drinks to your lane if you'd like. I appreciate that it's a family-owned business, which adds to its charm.

Great price on bowling on Friday nights all night bowling great customer service

I didn't even know this place was so close to the house. Best priced bowling in the area, hands down. Great food, and we had a great time.

Took my girlfriend here. For two people two hours of lane time on a Sunday night was $44, including shoes. It was very clean, and was also very family friendly.

Great bowling alley a little hidden but the gps took us straight to it. We went in the afternoon and there were plenty of lanes but I can see how it could get packed at night. The food was made fresh and came out quickly. We had your typical bar food, cheese sticks and fries, but they we good and hot. The price is right as well.

We enjoy our family days here. Friendly staff and good pizza!

We had a blast on karaoke night, a good time with friends. The wings are delicious too.

Establishment appeared clean & was well stocked on needed items. Staff was friendly & helpful.

Nice area, the pizza isnt great but its other menu items looked fantastic. Clean and spacious

The kids and I have enjoyed 3 years of the kids bowl free for summer program! Easy to go in and use your coupons. We really enjoy our time when we are ther. Staff is friendly and the food is good for your bowling alley food. I would recommend this place for families who want to go and have a good time and make memories.

Great time. Fair price for family fun!!!

We sprung a Birthday party on Elmer and the staff at Lakeside Lanes during a busy league night along with existing parties scheduled that night AND THEY STILL MADE IT HAPPEN! I am truly grateful for everyone on staff making the party a successful and great time!! Thank you again!!

Very friendly and helpful! Wings were on point! Kids had great time!

Time for new flooring! So slippery.

Great Staff and atmosphere! Food was fresh and so yummy! Brand new equipment for lanes. Wish there were some newer balls, but Loved spending the day here! Summer pricing program for kids is a serious deal!

Had a blast! Food is great and it’s a clean facility 🎳

Guy behind the register see me with a coffee in my hand the whole time. Let's me pay for bowling and shoes, then after I paid proceeds to tell me I can't bring my coffee in. Poor customer service. Also you can't select bumpers for select bowlers. You either all have to bowl with bumpers or nobody. Very behind the times

Friendly and excellent prices on Wednesdays

Some of the tables are so far back you can’t interact with your bowler. I don’t like how I was made to move to a further back table bc that was “my assigned table”. The lady asked to move over one lane so she didn’t interfere with our bowling/seating and instead of them trying to accommodate both of us, they came up acting like the police and moved us back to our assigned seating. My daughter couldn’t hear me cheering her on and she felt alone up there on her own vs when we were able to sit closer she could see and hear us better. We didn’t even finish our game. We just called it quits and left. She didn’t want to bowl anymore and quite frankly I was pretty upset they did what they did. I live very close and this has always been a convenient place to go to but now reconsidering even going back.

This place was awesome!!! Can't wait to bowl there again!!!

Great family place with unlimited bowling from 6-12am. Pizza is fresh and yummy.

Super friendly staff. Nice lanes. Fun location.

Old. Lots of problems with the lane we were on. Lasted all three games, in the end they gave us free drink. Nice people both bowlers and staff

Perfect place to spend a couple hours of fun with friends. I was just surprised that there wasn't any music playing.

Great drinks and they've stepped their menu up 100% Great place for family fun.

Very.clean, food good, staff friendly and knowledgeable, great pro shop.

They helped us with our after season football party. Great job, really took care of us.

they let me throw the ball as hard as I could and thats pretty cool

We always have a good time here. Price is great. We have lunch while we bowl. Everything is delicious! Staff always friendly and helpful!

Modern Updated computers to keep score. Food service right to your lane including ordering. Music and lights ,child friendly , bar with live band or karaoke

Great food and fun family atmosphere

Just a great place to have a drink 🍷

Amazing Place to Bowl, with incredible management and crew that make You feel like Your Home !!! We'll be there Again !!!

Stopped in for dinner as we were passing through. Selena was an excellent server. She was friendly and attentive. The food was fresh and the beer was cold. The facility is clean. People should definitely consider stopping in here for a casual dinner, its not just a bowling alley!

Bowling alley is carefully cared by its own owners. Rest of the crew take care as well management. Lanes are Well maintained

Cost of bowling is much better th Spanish Springs. Wednesdays are $2 per game each. Try it out!

Typical bowling alley. Provides weekly lanes for community people with disabilities to meet up and bowl. Food available at decent prices.

Great spot to Bowl. Not a ridiculous price per game. Staff was very friendly. Bowled my first turkey here 😁

We went in just to play pool and pinball. Had a few beers and a yummy lunch! Can't wait to do it again!

Staff friendly, fried pickles are amazing!! Good bowl for ya buck!

What an awesome HIDDEN bowling alley!! If you didn’t have GPS it’s hard to find. Hell, it was still hard to find with it!! But the prices were fair and as of 3/4/23 they have BRAND NEW shoes!!! The service was good, the food was good. If I come up this way and feel like bowling. I will return.

Had a great time was very affordable and very nice staff

I am a very picky eater so when say I enjoy the food is an understatement. Hands down the absolute best burger around. The cook sandra makes amazing food. The specials are absolutely amazing. The soup of the day, the meatloaf, pepper steak, open faced pot roast. Just absolutely delicious. I can't wait to see what she puts out. I definitely will continue to eat here.

Fun place to be and great service

We loved bowling here and the food was good also.

Had my 7 year oldsbirthday party here & let me say. Hidden 💎... What else can you ask for to make your baby happy & all her classmates don't RSVP. Staff wonderful. Price wonderful, and expectations EXCEEDED. Thank you All 🙏🏽😊

Great alley tucked away in Tavares! Awesome burgers and great service.

Nice place to share time with friends or family.Great time and good price.

Place is great! Food is better than expected. Drinks were a little on the weaker side but the lanes are nice

So much fun and food is good enough too

The food is amazing and great/attentive service!

Wow, Awesome place to take the family and have some fun!!! Affordable, clean and yummy food. Found this place by chance after looking for a place to take my son for his birthday and I’m glad I did because all the bowling alleys in the area prices are outrageous. We saved a ton of money coming here and we will continue to come to Lakeside. Thanks for the experience Lakeside and see you soon!!!

So many lanes! Quick, friendly service. Newer shoes. Updated scoring system. Great for kids too!

Had a great time. Friendly staff and nice and clean

Love the people good atmosphere

Omg we had a ball! Bowling was kind of expensive, but I haven't been bowling in years! After we bowled, we went to the bar, got drinks and sang our hearts out! The D.J was nice and the bartender was great!
