We love coming here. Weve played laser tag the last few times weve gone. Its so fun! The course is small so I wouldnt go with a big group but 5 of us is perfect. The arcade is fun. They need to maintain the games better. Bowling is awesome. Food is good too!

We came today to bring our son bowling for his 10th birthday. We literally waited in line for 10 minutes with no one ahead of us. We had two associates look at us like deer in the head lights. When the blond female associate, finally helped us she was very rude and acted like she had better things to do then help us.Then we went to get drinks from the little deli yippee flat sprite.......We wont be back tell they actually start caring about there customersWent to play in the arcade and it felt like half the games were dead!

There are a wide variety of games to choose from that are all fun to play. Its the perfect place to hang out with friends for a night of gaming and partying. Ive come to this place since I was a kid, and Ive played many games. They even have a wide selection of prizes to select when you receive tickets or credits on your game card. The employees were friendly, helpful, and understanding. Ill be coming back again.

I love the place but there bowling prices are steep. I paid 80 dollars for 2 games for 3 people. The game room is exciting great place for a family bonding and leisure time.. cant wait to try the lazer tag..

We decided to go bowling for a family party(12-15 people). After calling and speaking with the person who answers the phone about reserving lanes, he suggested I talk to the party coordinator, Jayden, and see if maybe booking it as a party was a better option for our family. Best advice!!! Jayden was extremely helpful with setting everything up and the night we were there everything was ready. Our hostess was so nice and we were well taken care of. Not only did we bowl, but we played laser tag and played video games also. The only reason I gave a four rating was because of the amount of games that were out of order, including some of the laser guns. Everything else was great, including the food!!! We had a enjoyable evening as a family and made lots of memories!!!

We had my sons 7th birthday party here and the party package included 1.5 hrs of bowling, 1 game of laser tag, and a $5 arcade card for all the kids. The party package also included 2 pizzas which were very good! The bowling was a ton of fun, but in hind sight, I would make sure to have an adult on each lane to make sure the kids bowl correctly. Unfortunately the employees did not boot up the laser tag in time and half of the party wasnt able to play because they had to leave. Also a $5 arcade card does not go very far so some of the kids ended up being disappointed, but over all it was still a fun experience.

Came to play the arcade games. Over half the games are out of service but we didnt see that until after wed paid. We even asked the guy at the counter a bunch of questions and he didnt say anything about how many games were broken. There were only a half my kids could play. Wish we didnt waste our money here.

Review №14

The bright lights attracted my 9-year-old son. Birthday party here we come! I reserved a $50 room. I brought cake, drinks, and pizza. Cake and drinks are allowed but not the pizza. I have to buy *their* pizza. A member of our group asked if Costa Vida was allowed. The answer was yes. 15 minutes before our allotted hour reservation, I began to set up. The room was filthy. The counter where *their* pizza could be placed was full of grease and crumbs. The floor had remnants of chicken wing pieces, chip crumbs, and sticky variations. Several people came to help set up. They pushed the counter crumbs onto the floor and I asked—finally—for a vacuum. Once pizza, cake, and presents were had we went to the arcade—bright lights. Jurassic world-out of service. Air hockey—out of service. Ghostbusters—out of service. Skeeball—out of service. Those are the ones I can remember. Expensive. Inconvenient. Dirty. Void of many games. Refund please?

This place was surprisingly a lot of fun. My nephew enjoyed the heck out of it. We didnt expect them to have a whole lot. But the pizza was good the bowling was fun and so where the pool tables. He really wants to go back so I would say that it was successful. The only thing everyone needs to know and remember is they do not operate on a cash level at this time or perhaps permanently. Luckily my brother remembered to bring his debit card and thats how we managed. All I had was cash so I couldnt do anything extra.

We went for my sons birthday and had fun bowling but what he really wanted to do was play arcade games, but... nearly every game in the arcade was out of order which the cashier failed to tell us when I was adding money on the game cards. We left with a disappointed little boy.

They generally have really good specials and great summer prices. Even year round pricing is reasonable and Im always looking for a good deal. The kids love it here at every age. The bowling & laser tag are great family or group activities. The arcade is a little expensive but the often have specials on the card/coin refills. I definitely recommend this place. Its always clean, the staff is always helpful and friendly and there are lots of choices of things to do in one place.

Took my son here to have a fun night, however half of the arcade games were out of order and the bowling lanes have some serious malfunction issues! I used to love this place but it has turned into a rundown version of chuck-e-cheese. One would think that with the amount of money this place must bring in they would have arcade games that are up and working, and take a little pride in the business. Sorry but its brutally honest. Take some pointers from Round 1 at southtowne.

Half of the arcade games are out of order.Half of the half that are not out of order dont work properly.Bowling alley malfunctioned five times in one hour as well.Imagine if Dave and Busters was a person.Now imagine that that person was thrown out of a moving vehicle doing 50 mph on a country road.Thats a pretty accurate representation of what Fat Cats is.

Went for the arcade. It seems the maintenance is lacking on the machines... A large number of games were broken and uncared for. The standards of cleanliness were also somewhat lacking. The biggest highlight of this place is the young staff and how polite and courteous they are! A little bit better management could bring this place back in to top shape and attract far more consumers. My consumer rating C

Fat cats is going down hill FAST. 1/2 the arcade machines were out of service👎🏼- and multiple that said they were in service, took our money without actually working.👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼They also would not honor the Wasatch saving coupon “because it was a weekend”- but the coupon says only excludes 1/2 price wednesdays.Super disappointed and probably won’t bother going back anymore.

Review №31

Pretty fun place but overpriced and not very well run. I had a localfluence offer that I tried to use on a Saturday night but they said I couldnt use it on a weekend, which it didnt specify anywhere in the offer. They have plenty of staff but they werent very helpful, they had 7 standing behind the counter doing nothing. Still had a pretty fun time and have in the past too but Im not impressed with the service or cleanliness. I couldnt wait to wash my hands after bowling but the bathroom was not well stocked either, stalls out of toilet paper and both paper towel dispensers were empty.

Review №32

Apparently you dont pay for a game of bowling, you only pay for a certain amount of lane time. We were in our 10th frame and ran out of time so we couldnt finish our game, super lame.The bowling balls are in the worst shape Ive ever seen, with huge gouges in most of them.Several of the arcade games are broken as well.I dont live in the area, but if I did I would find another venue for my next family outing.

Went to the counter to order food and no one was there but the two employees at the counter where they hand out bowling shoes we’re looking at me and I waited to see if they were going to come help or at least get someone but they kept carrying on their conversation. I literally had to wave and motion can I get some help and then they called someone. That’s the problem with kids working now they suck the most at customer service

Rick (the manager) and the 3 helpers behind the prizes were very helpful. The bowling was so much fun along with the latest video games. Later tag, and bumper cars were an awesome experience thank you for letting my son celebrate his birthday here, which they have birthday specials for friends and family in a semi private room.

Fat Cats Ogden is always a great way to get out of the heat of summer and enjoy .99¢ bowling until 8:00pm Monday through Thursday and then after 8:00pm, $8 unlimited bowling! Enjoy some snacks from Fat Cats Grill including pizza, burgers chicken tenders or choose from appetizers and sides. Our only issue that we had today was waiting for the one single cashier taking care of every guest. We waited for shoes for about five minutes. Other than that Fat Cats Ogden is the place to be on a hot summer afternoon!

Review №42

Me and my family come here every other Sunday and do the 2 hr deal. We all love it and have so much fun. Only reason Im giving it a 3 is because the 2 times the manger assist us he was very rude and when I asked a couple question he looked and answered me like if I was stupid. And they always crowd everyone on one side of the bowling lanes other half was completely empty. Its like they dont want to spread people and give them space for there own benefits(less cleaning) Besides that we love it and keep coming. Tailgaters on the other hand tho...... never order from here if you want you food out 30+ minutes or even to just find someone to order can take 15+ minutes. And all the employees especially the cooks always look so miserable and you can tell they dont want to be there. And it shows in the food. Its a joke to even try to eat here. But we already know se we always eat before now.

Fat Cats has good bowling, a decent arcade, some bumper cars that look ok, and a pretty good laser tag set up! The food that they served wasnt too bad though the prices were a bit high, but what do you expect from an entertainment center. The prices for activities listed above arnt too bad and they regularly have deal and events that make them even better. Its a fun atmosphere great for dates, parties, or just a fun time.

Fun place for kids to play, and spend time. A lot of the arcades, and ma Hines were out of order. The prizes you try to earn are WAY overpriced and very hard to earn points. This place was not very well taken care of, and too costly.

Half of their games are out of order. If you win a jackpot on the games it limits the amount of tickets you win. This place was beyond disappointing. We told the employee it was our first time here and she did not bother to explain the prices or give us a heads up that half the games were out of order. There were no employees at the prize counter.

The bowling was excellent but the customer service was down right unprofessional. We ordered two drinks and it took them over 20 minutes and we had to go back up to the counter. they accused us of not paying until the manager admitted he forgot about us. they made us look and feel dumb. We strongly suggest upper management retrain the manager

Great place for a date or a party. Ive done both here. The company I work for had a holiday party here last December and it was great. Today my wife and I spent the afternoon here on a date and it was fantastic. We did an hour of bowling plus maybe a half hour in the arcade for under $40. Plus we got enough tickets to bring a toy home to our son.

Review №61

My husband and I went recently, and it was a lot of fun but there were some concerns. There were signs saying that masks are mandatory, but hardly anyone was wearing them. There was also no social distancing whatsoever. I would have thought they would at least do every other lane, but they didnt. You were just as crowded as normal. We almost left, but decided to stay. There was a person cleaning all of the bowling balls though and you had to go get a bowling bowl from them to play, but if the person sharing your bowling dispenser decides to use your bowling bowl because you cant tell whose is whose, then what is the point? It was still fun, but just a little disappointing.

Awesome time for the kiddoes. There isnt a lot for young kids, but my 6 and 8 year Olds enjoyed the video arcade. We managed to get a laser tag session with similar ages family, so that was a blast (pun intended).Great for teens and younger adults, not recommended for kids under 12. There just isnt enough to make it worth while for them. The music was way too loud for my old ears.

The staff would not honor a deal that we had through localfluence. They stated it didnt work on weekends, however we pointed out to them that it had no such restrictions anywhere to be found. They still would not honor it or try to comprise with us at all. It seems they could not care less about the individual patrons of their establishment. I guess it is going to be Ben Lomond lanes for us and our friends from now on.

I took my family there for there easter bunny brunch. That started at 10 when we arrived the doors were locked. It was not until about 11 that I was able to talk to someone the first person I talked to told me he did not know about anything of the event. I talked to another person and they told me it was cancelled they did not let anyone know it was canceled there was no communication. We called for over a week to reserve our spot and they told us it was first come first serve. Bad service.

This bowling alley has been a main attraction in downtown Ogden for years. I recently checked out the new Dave and Busters in Salt Lake City and hated it, remarking that Ogden already had the same thing for half the price. The next day I bowled for an hour and played a bunch of games for under $20 mid day.

Review №78

Its definitely a place for kids - any adults looking for a place to play some games should look elsewhere for somewhere that just cares a little more. The food is decent, not great but okay. Staff didnt want to be there or talk to anyone more than needed for any transaction. A few times they were not locatable - getting bowling balls or at the concession stand.We went to play pool - all they have are 9 foot tables which isnt tournament standard. So we bowled instead. All the balls are pretty badly chipped but the lanes were fine enough. It was 27$ for an hour of bowling.

Review №79

This place is a joke. Any bowling place that has a pay by the hour policy is not worth your time. Imagine going to a baseball game and after an hour they kick you out regardless if the game is over or not. Oh and if you buy the package deal that comes with an hour of bowling, pizza, drinks and breadsticks they wont bring your disgusting pizza out until you have 2 minutes left of bowling so you get to eat in the car. Yeah Ill just go somewhere else.

Review №87

Took the family out for our first time out since the pandemic hit. My 10 year old wanted to go bowling with his brothers. We got there at 6 and purchased the family pack that gave us 1.5 hours of bowling, a pizza, breadsticks, drinks, and a $5 game card. Perfect for us because bed time for the 2 year old is at 8:30. We purchase extra game cards for everyone because there was a 20 minute wait and we wanted to kill the time with some arcade fun. We went to play and discovered quite a few games there don’t work. It’s was a little frustrating but we played anyway because the prizes are cheap and the kids can literally have fun playing anything. They were on time getting our lane ready, which was great. When we went to pick up our shoes we ordered an additional pizza to go with our family pack because again, all boys and two of them are teens. The gal that took our order was pleasant and efficient, which she gets the star. We made it almost to the 7th frame with 6 of us before we decided to go check on our order. My husband went to the food counter, asked how much longer it would be and the young man at the counter said they already delivered it. Well clearly not, because he’s standing there asking where it is. The man then said, please stand to the side and I’ll find out what’s happening. He proceeded to take everyone’s order which was another 10 minutes, then told my husband to go check and see if it had been delivered to our lane. He looked and nope, no pizza. Came back told the man there wasn’t a pizza and he said okay stand to the side and I’ll get it going. He AGAIN proceeded to take more orders. After going another few frames without my husband I then came up to the counter and after hearing what was happening it was very clear that NO ONE cared about the lack of customer service that was happening. I went back to the girl at the counter and she got someone to come talk to my husband. It took another 20 minutes to get the pizza out. There were no breadsticks. The manager gave us extra time in our lane to make up for my husbands absence and surprise ... a $20 arcade card. By this time it’s about 7:30? 7:40 maybe. I have a toddler who is nearing bedtime and extra time on my lane. I tried to make the best of it, I didn’t complain about not getting the breadsticks because I honestly was worried about being “THAT” lady. We were in the middle of our next game at about 8:15, toddler melt down. The thunder alley had started and the guy on the PA system was “scaring” the toddler because it was loud. I felt bad for the young adults by us trying to have a good time listening to this kid cry so we packed up and didn’t end up really using the extra time or the card. Needless to say, our first outing location as a family in over year was poorly picked and I don’t think we will ever go back. Thanks for the $20 bucks in arcade games that we will never use, and the extra time we couldn’t use.

This is a great place for a date or just a family outing. They have daily specials for those people looking for a great deal. They have an arcade to keep busy while you wait for a lane. Sometimes this place can get very busy but they do a great job at shuffling through people and getting people in and out without making you feel rushed. Everything is very clean and tidy which makes it a comfortable place. They also have the Tailgators so that you can get something to eat or drink while you are out having some fun with the family or out on a date. This place is for all. The food and all the fun you can have here is priceless. Lots of different games to play as well for all different ages.#lfthx
