Comet Bowl - Charles City, Iowa

This place is fantastic! The food is delicious (definitely try the cheese balls); they are out of this world. Bowling is so much fun and more affordable than the neighboring alleys. If you're looking for a great time, tasty food, and reasonable prices, COME HERE!

This is my home town bowling alley and it used to be great. I returned for a families birthday and the new owners were extremely rude, didn't allow bumpers since none of us were under 9 (claiming we would break them), and acted extremely rude when we came in with a party of 4 without a reservation (there were 7 lanes open). Would love to have the friendly atmosphere back. Severly disappointed.

Awesome small town bowling alley! Decent beer selection and great food. League nights are always packed and a lot of fun. The bar has its own entrance, so don’t be afraid to go for just the food and drinks!

The BPT was very good. The staff was great, we had a very large group and served quickly.

Apparently this establishment is under new management. The bowling alley itself is definitely what you would expect a bowling alley to be. Guys restroom definitely needs to be updated.

We were grabbing a bite to eat and see some people in town. We ordered super nachos for appetizers. Every single topping on the nachos was cold. Cheese, meat, everything. Ordered food as well and it's a good thing we had the cold nachos for as long as we waited. Service from the waitresses was absolutely flat or borderline rude. We were definitely an inconvenience for both of them.

Not really the place I would expect great service or great food from but damn...if you are going to have such an extensive menu for your lounge in your establishment you should probably consider putting some effort into it or else discontinue it.

Don't go to this bowling alley for food. It is absolutely terrible.

Have eaten here several times. Always fresh. Always quality. Of particular note, is their Reuben sandwich; get it with seasoned curly fries! I have tried several things across the varied menu; have never been disappointed. Their ranch is top notch.

I never write reviews but I was so mind blown at what I saw that I can’t not. The people were very nice… however, we were placed right in front of the whole kitchen staff I began to notice that nobody, not a single person was wearing gloves, cooks, preppers nobody, not even the owner was wearing gloves or telling her staff to put them on, it was like she was completely okay with it. I then watched my waitress grab a lemon from inside the fridge with her bare hands and carry it into the kitchen to be placed in my drink, at that point I really started to pay attention and told my family nobody was wearing gloves, so as we were all watching we seen one girl eating something with cheese in the kitchen which got all over her fingers, she literally licked all off her fingers cleaned and proceeded to grab all our straws and place them into our drinks 🫠 then the cook was rubbing his nose multiple times and touching the food bare handed, None of us touched our drinks my ordered didn’t come out correct so I left before we even got the rest of our food… I used to hear amazing things about the place but after that whole experience I can’t bring myself to eat there not knowing what is all over my food bacteria wise 🤢 not sure how health inspectors have never even seen this or allowed this but I think I trust fast food to be cleaner than this place was… absolutely insane 🥴

Worst pizza of my life. If I lifted up the pizza for a slice the cheese would come with it unreal
