One of my favorite brunch options because it's so big that you usually don't have to wait for a table if you forget to make a reservation (like we usually do). They have your staple brunch items and don't let me forget to mention it's owned by Bill Murray....

Now to the good stuff: they have 8 lanes with full service so you can drink and bowl. If you have to wait for a lane then you can play arcade games.

Shopping

Lower King Street at the King and Calhoun intersection is a great way to spend the day. Also checkout the Second Sunday on King where they close the streets to car traffic and allow people to set up vendors and food in the street. Very fun experience
