Not Spare

Eating in at the Highland Lanes snack bar fulfills all expectations of a bowling alley lunch. Greasy thin burger served up from a snack bar window. Got the burger meal deal for $5.78 (after tax). Burger + fries + drink. Burger is griddle cooked, thin thin, fairly dry, but just as expected. Nicely toasted bun. Wrapped in the requisite translucent paper, allowing the grease-laden bun to shimmer through the wrapping. Basically, a picture-perfect greasy thin burger plate.

Fries are fresh cut and are good. Tater tots are offered also, always a plus.

The place embodies the old bowling alley spirit, with a pro shop, lounge, snack bar and game room. Even an old fashioned credit card swiping machine with the carbon copy slips.

It's an easy lunch place--no frills, and plenty of space when I was there (there were quite a few people bowling, but only one other table was occupied).
