Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We come for the Friday night buffet with friends every second Friday, its very popular, the staff are terrific, very friendly despite being rushed and working hard on the night. The food is good but not excellent, the sweets never change, always the same, which is now quite boring. The main buffet is a good meal, if you like buffets, although they could also vary the offerings, which again get a bit boring if you are a local, if visiting, you will really enjoy it.

Troy has great customer service and is the most lovely person. I really do recommend going here, great meal and really big. Worth the feed and great venue to visit when you have the time. Troy was very polite and was really helpful. The chef did a great job of cooking the meals and the presentation was perfect. 10/10 recommend the Lakes Entrance Bowls Club.

Called to book For a table at 1:50 when the kitchen closes at 2pm and they kept it open for me and my family till about 2:15 so we could order lunch :) then an amazing waiter named Troy who was super helpful and accommodated our every need instantly so we Tipped him $20 for being a great server. All The food was amazing! We ordered lunch, cakes and coffee and it was all really really yummy, great portion size and if you’re not as hungry they have a Half size option which is a big plus if you have people That don’t eat much haha. Overall a great place to get A bite to eat And play pokies! Will definitely be coming back and would definitely recommend anyone coming here!! :)

My husband and I visited the bowling club today. The food tasteless, bland and overpriced. I had pumpkin soup which was lukewarm and bland. My husband had a hamburger for $28 which was extremely overpriced, the meat was dry and the small chips tasted rancid. In addition were asked to provided a credit card so we didn't do a runner from the restaurant - on the basis of the food quality in hind sight I'm not surprised they do this. We are both respectable looking and aged in our late 50's 60's. Honestly the fish and chip along the main road does a much better feed for $10.

I was asked by service staff to write a review about last nights dinner experience but I don’t know why they would especially After they knew what we experienced We arrived at 7pm to our booked table. It was snitzel night. Our 2 older children and my partner and I looking forward to a hearty meal after having takeaway fish and chips previous night. We ordered our meals. 2 scotch steaks with sauces and veg and 1 snitzel, 1 parmy. We were sat right in front of kitchen so we could hear and see everything going on. Duty manager came and informed us sadly they had ran out of chicken snitzels and said kids could order anything same value so they decided on pasta. Half hour later came back to tell us out of pasta !!!! Duty manager said they could order anything but sadly wasn’t many options left. One son decided fish n chips (again) and one steak same as us. Then we heard chef yell out no sauces so we got garlic butter with our steaks instead, which sadly was disgusting more just butter if anything. No one could eat it. We understand how busy they were and kitchens run out etc etc but we were left in the restaurant eating dinner 1hour 20 mins later when restaurant was basically empty and staff packing up. The service staff were friendly and tried to go out of there way to make us happy but one free pot of beer just didn’t cut it sorry You asked how our meals were at the end and didn’t care that my partner and my steaks and veggies were cold before we even ate half of it. Our sons wasn’t so I can only assume ours were already cooked waiting to bring out while you sorted out our children’s meals disaster resulting in our meals being cold and our child’s super hot I simply cannot write a nice review as our experience was horrendous You couldn’t even bring us our garlic bread to eat while waiting so long for our meals and to charge $40 each for steak with veggies that are cold is sad. All The duty manager said to that was yes my meal was cold too but if you come back shout out and I’ll get you free drinks Wow I simply cannot applaud 2 cold meals with no care We will not be back for those free drinks sorry I suggest a better approach to issues that arise in the kitchen. Thanks for trying thou

After turning up, not booked in for the restaurant we did have to wait, which was fine; the staff were very friendly and nice, only thing I would question is that they said the restaurant was full, but there were so many empty tables, not being used; and with not a lot of seating options available, could have opened up a part of the tables for seating only. But the food was FANTASTIC! Our waiter, was lovely, service with a smile, we did receive a compliment cheesy bread due to the wait time, which was appreciated but not necessary; as the meal was served within 45 mins. And the food was perfect, hot and well cooked. I had roast of the day, hubby had a scotch fillet - it said it was one of the best steaks he has had at a restaurant for some time; that is saying something cause he can be picky. Thank You Lakes Bowls, for wonderful food and service on a busy night, you staff stand out and always with a smile.

We visited on a stopover to Lakes Entrance. The bistro area is large and quite spacious. We ordered our meal at the start of the dinner service and were very impressed with the staff. They were calm and worked well together especially the man who worked at bringing the meals out, very impressed. We both had the roast lamb which was hot and tasty. Vegetables were nicely cooked. Well done everyone

Reception was great. Dinning service poor when asked for well cooked steak it was served rare. Staff said change it with the other which was supposed to be med rare. This was also served rare. Young woman got the steak put back on the grill but really didn’t want to know about it. Vegetables and Salad were good Chips cold and had been sitting around.

Everything was okay here. It looked pretty new and staff were pleasant. The food was very bland - my husband ordered a fishermans basket and said it was ok, whereas I ordered fish and chips and definitely no taste at all to the fish or chips. Disappointing. Otherwise, a spotless venue.

Dined here for dinner on a Sunday evening. We ordered cheesy garlic bread and 3 seafood platters. Platters hit the spot nicely with a good serving of salad and chips accompanying them. Served by the waiter with the greatest attention to detail I have ever seen, Troy, he let nothing to chance. Read back my order with the accuracy of a pilot talking through the checklist before landing a plane. All good.

Visiting Lakes and wanted to support local community after the impact of summer bush fires. New restrictions relating to numbers in areas of the club, social distancing etc introduced day prior to our visit to the club. Staff were exceptional in their commitment to carrying out and maintaining these guidelines. They maintained a highly professional manner and excellent level of service, even when confronted with and dealing with elder adults who rudely ignored signs and displayed arrogant behavior.

We were passing through the town on an overnight stay and were recommended this place by a motel manager. But I was VERY disappointed. We were directed to our table by a very surly waitress. I ordered the soup of the day - potato, leek and bacon. But it was COMPLETELY INEDIBLE as if the cook had poured in a packet of salt! Spoke to the same waitress, handing back the uneaten bowl and explained the problem. “OK” she said as she took away the bowl. There was no apology or question about ordering another dish. So I sat there with no food in front of me. Definitely won’t be going back there…

After hearing some recommendations we dropped in for dinner while passing through town. We felt welcome and the friendly staff seemed to enjoy working there. After a beer we sat down to a rib eye steak which was tender, perfectly cooked and at $30 was also excellent value for money. All in all a great meal and we will happily return next time we are in town.

Delicious home-made soup was the starter for my meal. For the main there was a wonderful selection of seafood, pasta, casserole, roast, vegetables and salads. And of course a good selection of desserts to choose from.

We chose salmon with a Dukkah crust. It was well cooked & delicious. The meal comes with vegetables or chips and salad. Good value and plenty of choice on the menu & specials board. Staff were friendly and we were asked twice if we were happy with our meal. We will return on our next trip to Lakes Entrance.
