I’ve lived in Bishop since I was a kid, and Back Alley Bowling used to be one of my favorite places to eat. I was a regular for years. Unfortunately, ever since the ownership changed, the experience has gone downhill.
The customer service is consistently rude and unwelcoming. It feels like staff are irritated just having to take your order. The food is now overpriced for the quality you get, which is a big change from how it used to be.
I stopped going for about a year, but recently decided to give it another chance. I called in an order for myself and my disabled grandfather, who only has one arm. I politely asked multiple times if they could please cut the steak for him and even explained why. They clearly seemed annoyed by the request. When I picked up the food, everything looked rushed and just thrown into the boxes—and the steak was not cut.
The rest of the meal was just as disappointing. The taquitos were plain with only cheese on top—no sides like guacamole or sour cream, especially disappointing for the price. The loaded potato wasn’t even “loaded,” just a plain potato.
Between the poor service, lack of care, and declining food quality, this place is nothing like it used to be. It’s honestly sad to see something that used to feel welcoming and enjoyable turn into somewhere I now dread going.
I wouldn’t recommend stopping here anymore. There are better places in town that actually value their customers.

Passing through and tried to book a lane but it was comp night and everything was full. We were told the food was good so we had a couple of beers and some food. The beers were cold, steak was great, the bowling was really good, friendly atmosphere and excellent service. Highly recommend.

What a great stop in Bishop. Highly recommend. Been here a few times and each time a bit better. Great service, clean and the food is just right. Drinks were great too.

Word of mouth got us to Back Alley Bowl & Grill in Bishop, and for good reason. I’ve had pizza in a bowling alley before, but never steak. The aesthetics of having steak in a bowling alley was rather different and surprisingly fun. We were there on a day when not much was going on except for at the lanes. The food was very good. Our steaks were cooked perfectly. I had the 12 oz. Ribeye with mixed veggies, and she had the 10 oz. Flat Iron with mushrooms and baked potato. Service was quite good even if not very attentive. Now you have word of mouth to get you in here. Very much recommended.

The food here was a nice surprise. I’m staying at the Wayfinder next door so it’s a short walk. I read reviews before heading over, people complained about the noisy bowling alley. I want early in the evening so it wasn’t too bad. I didn’t even notice the bowling from where I sat in the restaurant. I had the Ribeye with seasonal vegetables and a salad. The steak was cooked and salted perfectly. It was tender and flavorful. The service was excellent. Jenah was my waitress, she was attentive and the food came quickly. If you’re looking to have a steak be sure to check the dinner service times. I waited till after 4pm so I could have the steak. I come to Bishop a few times a month and will definitely come back to Back Alley.
