The staff is super nice, and if you bowl you hand in your names and shoe sizes on a slip for quick start. If hungry, the burger is delicious and there's a great craft beer selection .

Danielle Davis

We had a lot of fun here, great intimate feel to the place as there are only around 8 lanes . Loved the music they played, bowling to some rock n roll is awesome! Great cocktail options too.

Eater

It's not all bowling and Mission burgers at Mission Bowling Club. The bar up front means serious business with nine beers on tap , perfect Manhattans and the TBD with mezcal and jalapeno jam .

AFAR Media

Even if bowling isn’t your thing,they have great brunch ,lunch and dinner items as well as fantastic cocktails . Something for everybody!

Jag Firerwalker

The food is good, perfect for a bit of warm up exercise before the bowling . The bowling then is just perfect. The music is great and the lane are just what you want out of a city bowling lane .

Will Bertelsen

A very chill , though less than exceptional brunch spot . Still, the Croquet Madame, with the salty ham , thick hollandaise sauce , and Dijon mustard is a great choice

Eater

Lucky Peach Managing Editor Rachel Khong: "Reasons why this burger is the best: the patty is granulated, the buns have their tops cut off to perfect bun-to-ratio size."

Serious Eats

Mission's brunch secret. I've been here twice for brunch on a Saturday and there's never a wait. The seasonal seafood benedict is great. I had it with lox and have tried it with crab before.

Tasting Table

Hang out on the covered patio and try Chef Anthony Myint’s tasty fried chicken and seven-bean salad . For an even greater meal, though, try his burger , its patty a work of both science and art : Read more

In between knocking down pins, knock back some drafts of Russian River & the infamous Mission Burger (a 1/2-lb of beef that's hard-fried in beef fat w/ caramelized onion , Monterey jack & caper aioli ). Read more

tif lacey

had a wonderful time, great plane and friendly staff - have a drink and something to eat at the bar - recommend cider & fried chicken

Adrian Barker

Quite possibly the best burger and fries in the city . My go-to for a burger and vodka martinis . Sit upstairs near the railing for great people watching .

Niki Baker of foreignspell

Great for a group! Delicious food. Loved the burger (as usual) fried chicken and the cinnamon toast . Favorite drink (the pick up - I think) had great cardamom flavor.

Frances James

More than just bowling , Mission Bowling has one of the best burgers in the city and great cocktails

Melli Dunlap

call a week in advance for reservations didn't really like we couldn't + more time tomorrow visit but still had fun food was great but bartender that night messed up a # of our simple 2 part drinks

Bommy

Grab a mission burger for dinner . Elote is also tasty, especially when dunked in smoked miso aioli .

Lauren Grimm

Always fun to bowl, can be a bit crowded . Sit at the bar for a snack . Soggy fries but fits with bowling alley expectations.

Mikahla Vicino

If you're a fool like me and forget your socks, they sell some pretty fun pairs at the desk for 4 bucks.

Fun for parents and kids alike. Tasty food and drinks while you bowl in a nice setting. Kids allowed only during certain hours so check ahead.

Ashley Yue

Best chicken and waffles I've ever had. They nailed the waffle !!! ❤️????

Fiona Stripe

A lot of fun, great atmosphere, creative drinks and delicious food. I've heard brunch is really good here.

Tacia Coleman

Had a love affair with brunch . Food was amazing and the sangria was delicious.

Tasting Table

You can't go wrong with the Mission Burger . It's a righteous, juicy burger , almost too rich, generously anointed with caper aioli and Monterey Jack . Read more

Make your life easier and make reserve your table online. Order the burger - it's amazing. The fried chicken sandwich is a bit overhyped.

Collin Straka

Such a cool venue. A bit on the pricy side, but worth it for the experience.

David Estes

The burger is still pretty damn good, but not as amazing as it was in 2012: http://sanfrancisco.grubstreet.com/2012/12/mission-bowling-club-new-chef-menu-new-years.html

Will Bertelsen

Food, cocktails , activities! How can you go wrong?

Andi Galpern

Hamburger = delicious. Order it now and thank me later. ????

Carla Layne

Couldn't have asked for a better Bowling & Bruch date suggestion from How About We. French toast and mimosas are amazing!

Ugur Kaner

Such a gem for brunch . Food is big bang for the bucks ❤️

Ashley Yue

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the most epic fried chicken and waffles you'll ever have.

Dustin

Hipster bowling alley with beer and hella-good food. A wee bit on the spendy side.

Abel Lin

The white chocolate cheesecake with pickled blueberries and pretzel crust is insane. Worth the earth.

Olinda H

Really cute little bowling place with great burgers

Brian L

Maybe the tastiest fried chicken I've had in the city is at a bowling alley ? Legit burger threat too? Who even needs to bowl?

???? ????

Haven't bowled here, but the bartenders are awesome! Lindsey makes the blueberry tea honey herself ????

Arturo Vazquez

Beware the chicken and waffles come with hot sauce . Good otherwise but ask without if you don't like spicy food

Kitt Hod

Nice relaxed atmosphere , bowl by the hour, come before 6 for no crowds.

Cole Kennedy

Make a reservation if you want to bowl. They seem to fill up quickly.

Brad L

The burger is made using Heston Blumenthal's method of aligning the strands as they come out of the grinder , and then slicing them into patties. Order the burger .

michael yang

Great burger and fries (vegan burger surprisingly good too)

Abner Bollozos

The Mission Burger is a half pound of beefy deliciousness. Do yourself a favor and get one.

robert

This is the swankiest Bowling alley I've ever been! The drink menu is like blackbird/churchill so you can't go wrong!

Tammy Nguyen

Awesome hipster bowling spot. It was about $20/person for two hours

Bommy

Amazing michelada and chilaquiles for brunch . Bowling is secondary.
