“ We had our bowling banquet tonight and the meal and service was top notch!! ”
“ I had a great experience at McPetes. I attended the Central MN Sweeper and gave away a Sharkpa Bowling Shammy. I didn't bowl the best, but the lanes were really clean and well maintained. They had a big bar and lounge that was well attended. Also they had a party room that was hosting a private party. The staff was extremely accommodating and friendly. I would highly recommend this bowling center to anyone in the area. Great venue. ”
“ Joined league this year and was very impressed! Great food and service! Will be joining again next year! ”
“ We love McPete's! We have been bringing our grandson, AJ, here for bowling and minigolf for about 2 years. We are usually here at least one day a week. Everyone has been so kind and encouraging to AJ and he really feels at home here. He loves bowling and is now on the junior bowling league. Special thanks to Fred, Eric, Larry and Chad. We have eaten here many times also. The food is great! The chicken taco salad is the best I have had anywhere. We recently had a great time celebrating AJ's 8th birthday as a family. We highly recommend McPete's in Big Lake for fun, food and great family time. ”
