    Cannot say enough good things about this place. The menu is a surprise from what you would expect from a bowling alley. Borderline gourmet! I've been here twice and tried something different each time. Both meals were delicious. What's even cool is the chef/ cook comes out and speaks with you and checks that your food was good. Cannot say enough how much my friends and I love this place! And if you have room try one of their great desserts. We had a piece of cinnamon cheesecake. Wanted to lick off my plate good. We went at lunch. Not very crowded and served our meal in under 10 minutes.

    We stopped in on a Monday night for a bite to eat and it was good! The service was excellent! Just love their small town places to eat! It was a little hard to find because it's inside a bowling alley and we were looking for just the restaurant so keep an eye out for it I included a picture of the sign outside!

    We were in town to cater a wedding and had an amazing time two nights in a row! Mary and Kevin did not disappoint in the kitchen! The food hit the spot and cooked to perfection. We went two nights in a row close to the end of food service due to our catering commitment and our servers, Hailey and Cole, took us in without complaint. Having been in the industry for many years, this is most server's pet peeve! On the second night we met Tyler, the Assistant GM, who introduced us to a new vodka. Dawn was churning out old fashioneds for us that were off the chain! The one featuring Shanky's Whip was my favorite. Sue was by definition, all the best parts of midwest hospitality and we can't forget our good buddy Landon. I highly recommend Center Grill!! You can even bowl if you want!

    Had the shrimp scampi with a hot chocolate and shot of irish cream. They were delicious. They have a nice bar with different drink varieties and you can even go bowling.

    The Center Grill has some of the best food in town! Delicious handmade bread on the Prime Rib Sandwich. Huge shrimp on the sweet chili shrimp sandwich! Such great staff!

    I had a brother coming to town, that I hadn't been able to hang out with for many years. Apparently it was a slow night, so they had shut the kitchen down, but when he and I walked in, they turned everything back on just for us. Not even knowing the occasion was special to us... Little did we know, how good the food would be! He had the sweet chili shrimp sandwich, and I had some kind of ultimate double decker burger. They were both INCREDIBLE! Thanks so much for the excellent food, an excellent service Jonathan and Dawn. God bless you guys!

    Food is always top notch. We love that they try to be a little more upscale and classy like the supper clubs of yore.
