Spare Time Lanes & Recreation 7934 North Straits Highway, Cheboygan, MI 49721

"Had a blast with my friends from work. Been a long time since I have been bowling it was alot of fun. Had a few drinks after our game. The bar makes some amazing Bloody Mary's . Won 70.00 on pull tabs paid for all 4 of our 2 games and half our drinks."

"Went for a visit, and had the "Appetizers Platter" for my dinner. Everything I picked was great although I prefer the fried pickle chips to the pickle spears, I had to cut them up to eat them even after eating everything else 1st they were still too hot to eat without cutting them up. The food was good, the atmosphere was good, and even won the high school 50/50! Thanks, Candi and crew!"

"When we arrived for our bowling experience, we were met with Sheila at the front counter. She was very hesitant about letting us bowl because of a league coming in starting at 6pm. However, when I called ahead to inquire about pricing for the day, the lady on the phone never said they would be full because of a league. We got to Spare Times a little before 5pm, so we still had an hour to bowl. Sheila asked another worker and she said that we could bowl but we only had an hour. So they set us up with one game and shoe rental and was told we could add another game if we still had time. The same lady Sheila consulted about us being able to bowl came over to our lane while we were getting our shoes on and said “are your shoes wet? We can’t have wet shoes over here. You have to leave them by the door.” There was no sign instructing this by the entrance nor saying we were responsible if our shoes were taken. When finishing our first game, we had about 30 minutes left, so I went to add another game. Sheila was still at the counter and I asked if we could add another game to lane 12. She rudely said, “You aren’t on lane 12.” And I said, “yes, we are.” And pointed to the lane with our balls and belongings. She again was very hesitant to add another game to our lane. Saying, “We have to wax the lanes at 6.” And then followed with, “just to let you know.” After already telling us this in the beginning. We bowled our second game finishing a little after 6pm. There was not a single lane being waxed, nor was there any leagues there to start practicing. There were still people bowling like normal next to us in other lanes. Needless to say, my family will probably never be back because of the rudeness of the staff. Customers are the root to companies being open, maybe some businesses need to relearn this or reteach their staff. In today’s economy, I have no issue with not spending my money at companies that do not appreciate their customers."

"Always a fun time bowling. This is a RAVE for the kitchen! I ordered a supreme pizza, mushrooms and deep fried mushrooms. It was absolutely amazing even today just warmed up leftovers and just as good today as last nite."

"We were here for high school regionals tournament. Menu was awesome, the staff preparing food rocked it for both days. Bathrooms were clean and well stocked. Lanes ran beautifully majority of the time, last game for boys 1 pair just went haywire but that b happens sometimes in any alley."
