    I absolutely love coming to Riverboat Lanes! The atmosphere is always fun and welcoming — perfect for a night out with friends or a family get-together. The lanes are well-maintained, the staff is friendly and helpful, and the food and drinks, you ask? The best place in Wabasha for a pizza or burger! The soups? To die for! They always have good music playing and a lively vibe, but it’s still clean and organized, which I really appreciate. Whether you’re a serious bowler or just here for fun, this place hits the mark every time! Highly recommend supporting this great local spot.

    We were at Lark Toys celebrating a birthday party and the birthday boy wanted to bowl. We typed in bowling into Google Maps and here we are. Overall it was a great experience. The lanes were were in great shape and meticulously being cared for while there. The pizza and cheese bread were good, front counter service meh, electronic soring is always a plus,, and we left with smiles after having a good time.

    We had a pizza and chicken delivered to our motel room. It was the best damn pizza and chicken we have had maybe ever. I couldn't believe how hot the food was after being delivered. I wish you were in my area.

    Service was friendly, but a little busy. Food was good, but pizzas were slightly burned. Atmosphere was good and well kept.
