Uncle Buck's Fish Bowl & Grill

Laser tag, bowling, go carts, rock climbing, good food, arcade, bar, indoor golf, lounges, play areas, and more this place is an absolute blast! They spared NO expense in the decor, quality of the games, space for party sizes or ideas to have fun. There’s no way I can list all they have available just in this review, but we just explored ONE of the buildings, Fun Mountain, there was not enough time in one day to get to do everything. Don’t come for an hour or two, plan for the entire day if not a couple of days to get to do everything, at least in this building. You can stay on site in their suites or stay off site in the numerous hotels that surround the area.

This place is phenomenal. I don't think there's anything like it anywhere else. It's got bowling, an arcade, playground equipment for kids, climbing wall, pool, bar etc. Its got everything you & your family could ever want. The attention to detail with the decor is overwhelmingly amazing. Everywhere you look you see something new. We went bowling & our balls came out of an alligators mouth. How cool is that? The parking lot is a little far from the building. That was the only thing I didn't enjoy. Everything else was wonderful.

Uncle Buck’s is inside Fun Mountain here at Big Cedar Lodge. Fun Mountain is for the young or adventurous young at heart with an arcade, laser tag, and more. The bowling alley has a beautiful ocean theme and has a couple of pool tables in there, too. We had a pottery class in a room in Fun Mountain, so we had lunch at Uncle Buck’s. My fish and chips were great and a generous portion. My husband loved his hangover burger. I had an Ozark Tea cocktail and loved it. Jeremy, our waiter, has a voice for radio that we loved to hear, and he was attentive and patient.

EDIT: Ate here again May 2021. I got the loaded grilled cheese with tomato, avocado, and grilled onions and it was SO good. Best grilled cheese I’ve ever had. My dad got the Reuben sandwich. Now the weather is warm enough we can eat outside and their patio area is super relaxing especially with the hills and the lake. Our server was Jeremy and he did an EXCELLENT job. Very hospitable and friendly. We will be back!!! 😊

Amazing food and comfortable atmosphere! They have some of the best fried pickle spears. Chicken is the best chicken on earth. Didn’t have room left over for dessert but all the desserts sounded really good. All of the staff were very friendly and attentive. The details are incredible from the wood beams in the ceilings to the colors in the chandeliers. They have a bowling alley, arcade games, rock climbing wall, race car, a treehouse, and a ropes course area for kids. When we were leaving there were some kids walking in with their parents who were cheering about getting to go to Uncle Buck’s. I think that says it all. 😂 Big Cedar did an incredible job building this place. All of the Christmas lights make it even more beautiful.

Surprisingly fun place with a big, very nice arcade & laser tag room, restaurant, bowling alley, bumper cars, play areas, etc. More nautical & fish themed than you can imagine,
Kinda pricey & food was just fine, but the kids very much enjoyed themselves.

There is an outdoor seating area with umbrellas. Inside is very comfortable. Uncle Buck's has friendly staff, great service, and delicious food. The lunch menu is limited. Prices are a little more; however, we were able to keep our cups. Great view of the Ozark Mountains.

Always great food and great service. They are very friendly with children also. My 8 year old loved her burger! Thank you!!

It was a great experience! The atmosphere was cool and the food was good. Also, Hunter is awesome! He was attentive, and he remembered seeing us at Devils Pool a year ago. How awesome he is!? Highly recommend bringing your family!

After a previous lackluster experience at a different Uncle Buck's location, I arrived with low expectations. Our party of nine was pleasantly surprised. The restaurant is inside the Fun building with patio seating available, so entertainment abounds.

Went just for dessert and we each tried one of their amazing shakes. Absolutely delicious and worth the splurge on both price and calories! Sitting outdoors on the deck was also lovely and everyone was very nice and attentive.

This is one of my favorite places to eat in the area. Jeremy is easily the best waiter I’ve ever had - and the gutterball nachos are AMAZING !! Inviting atmosphere in the heart of Big Fun Mountain. Love this place!

Yum!! We went to the quaint bar by the bowling alley and it had such a wonderful ambience to it. We ordered to go and it came to us in a timely manner, hot and tasty. The chicken strips are amazing and seasoned just right! Pictured is a buffalo chicken wrap.. it was very good!! Our bar tender was awesome (Shaun) super friendly and nice!! Over all a wonderful experience

Biggest golden fried shrimp ive ever seen. The food is so worth trying, staff was amazing. View as well. Cannot stress how anyone should make a point to stop here. Indoor arcade,wall climbing, go carts, bumper cars...oh and THE FOOD! And this is only one of the eateries in the area,let alone the building.
Loved every minute.

If you haven't bowled at Uncle Buck's Fish Bowl & Grill...then you haven't bowled at all. This place is magical! The lights, the decor, soooo neat for the kids and adults too! And when your little one can't stay in a lane anymore...just take them outside to the arcade or the sunken ship tree house and slides. Fun Fun!!

This place was amazing. Bowling, pool, arcade, bumper cars, laser tag and many other things forts the kids to do. Bar for the adults so they could wine down.

There are plenty of places to eat at Big Cedar but Uncle Buck's has a very laid-back atmosphere so I felt comfortable going to dinner in a hoodie. :) Our waitress was super friendly and the Buffalo Chicken Wrap with homemade chips ($16) and Mermaid Water ($11) were both fabulous.

Five stars for the staff alone. Extremely friendly, walking as fast as they can without running, and working past close. They were understaffed as well. I hope management and owners appreciate the hard work of the servers and staff. Hope they are getting paid well, because the level of effort I saw was impressive and rare

Fun place to go for adults and kids. Food is very good with friendly staff. Lots of fun to choose from go carts to bowling.. games.. bumper cars and much more. Relaxing and nice views.

Good spot in the Fun Mountain building, a bit noisy, but good food. Fish and chips hot and tasty, not too greasy. Salmon was good but a bit salty, nice presentation, efficient service.

Beautifully decorated and tons for kids to do Of all ages. Best fried pickles I ever had and the nachos. We're bigger than I could dream. Definitely could have shared those with 4 to 5 people.
