Uncle Buck's Fish Bowl & Grill - American restaurant in Ridgedale - 612 Devil\'s Pool Rd, USA

Staff were friendly and helpful! The kids enjoyed the slides when you first enter. I love that those are there because the kids played while we purchased to get in. We only did bowling...it was hard to get 6 bowlers through one round in an hour (especially with 3 young kids), but at 50 an hour, plus more for shoes, we didn't want to spend more. We made it through round nine and ran out of time. It was still super fun and the kids loved the animal designs.

Great fast service a very unique atmosphere to bowl. They have a bar great bartenders, great service. If you go on Monday through Thursday, the bowling is just about half priced.

Laser tag, bowling, go carts, rock climbing, good food, arcade, bar, indoor golf, lounges, play areas, and more this place is an absolute blast! They spared NO expense in the decor, quality of the games, space for party sizes or ideas to have fun. There’s no way I can list all they have available just in this review, but we just explored ONE of the buildings, Fun Mountain, there was not enough time in one day to get to do everything. Don’t come for an hour or two, plan for the entire day if not a couple of days to get to do everything, at least in this building. You can stay on site in their suites or stay off site in the numerous hotels that surround the area.

It was a great experience! The atmosphere was cool and the food was good. Also, Hunter is awesome! He was attentive, and he remembered seeing us at Devils Pool a year ago. How awesome he is!? Highly recommend bringing your family!

This place is phenomenal. I don't think there's anything like it anywhere else. It's got bowling, an arcade, playground equipment for kids, climbing wall, pool, bar etc. Its got everything you & your family could ever want. The attention to detail with the decor is overwhelmingly amazing. Everywhere you look you see something new. We went bowling & our balls came out of an alligators mouth. How cool is that? The parking lot is a little far from the building. That was the only thing I didn't enjoy. Everything else was wonderful.

10.09.22 we had several things in the menu to try. we chose the a pretzel and pizza. the pretzel was fantastic. the pizza not so much. didn’t feel like it was cooked all the way through and it had way too much cheese.

Uncle Buck’s is inside Fun Mountain here at Big Cedar Lodge. Fun Mountain is for the young or adventurous young at heart with an arcade, laser tag, and more. The bowling alley has a beautiful ocean theme and has a couple of pool tables in there, too. We had a pottery class in a room in Fun Mountain, so we had lunch at Uncle Buck’s. My fish and chips were great and a generous portion. My husband loved his hangover burger. I had an Ozark Tea cocktail and loved it. Jeremy, our waiter, has a voice for radio that we loved to hear, and he was attentive and patient.

EDIT: Ate here again May 2021. I got the loaded grilled cheese with tomato, avocado, and grilled onions and it was SO good. Best grilled cheese I’ve ever had. My dad got the Reuben sandwich. Now the weather is warm enough we can eat outside and their patio area is super relaxing especially with the hills and the lake. Our server was Jeremy and he did an EXCELLENT job. Very hospitable and friendly. We will be back!!! 😊 Amazing food and comfortable atmosphere! They have some of the best fried pickle spears. Chicken is the best chicken on earth. Didn’t have room left over for dessert but all the desserts sounded really good. All of the staff were very friendly and attentive. The details are incredible from the wood beams in the ceilings to the colors in the chandeliers. They have a bowling alley, arcade games, rock climbing wall, race car, a treehouse, and a ropes course area for kids. When we were leaving there were some kids walking in with their parents who were cheering about getting to go to Uncle Buck’s. I think that says it all. 😂 Big Cedar did an incredible job building this place. All of the Christmas lights make it even more beautiful.
