Eating at Tangi Lanes

One of the many things at Tangi Lanes besides bowling it to get a good bite to eat. Whether that be dinner if you go during the evening like I did or even just an afternoon snack. Their menu was extremely diverse, almost unexpected to me when I walked in considering that it was a bowling alley. Something that stuck out to me before I talked about my order was that the pricing of the food was also super convenient, nothing seemed too overpriced. As a food junky I will also be rating the items I did get 1 between 1 and 5.

1. French Fries

 The first thing I wanted to try out was the regular french fries. Tangi Lanes also had Cajun fries, which I will get to a little later. As a french fry fanatic I wanted to test out both versions of french fries. I also wanted to be able to test out the fries with dipping sauce. The only dipping sauce I use on french fries is BBQ sauce (The only acceptable fry sauce). I will say that these fries were some of the best regular fries I had in a long time. There was a perfect amount of flavor while also being even better when dipped in BBQ sauce. If I had to give a rating on the regular fries I would give it a 3.6 out of 5.

2. Hot Wings & Cajun Fries 

 The Second thing that I did get was the wings and Cajun fries. I will preface this by saying that they did mix up the wings and cajun fries by putting my wings with the regular fries, but I did get both when my order arrived so no complaints on my end. Now starting off with the wings I did get the 6 count Buffalo wings. One of my favorite foods is a nice buffalo wing. Every place can and will make buffalo wings different. Tangi lanes opened my eyes on making and eating buffalo wings differently. Their wings had all the sauce on the outside but once I bit into the wing I could see all the seasoning of the wing on the chicken itself. Also, the buffalo sauce was not super spicy, which is good because I feel like a buffalo medium wing is the best wing. Now the cajun fries. Those might have just been the best thing I had that day. When you describe a good cajun fry, Tangi Lanes fries should be in the conversation. The combination of seasoning, spicy and crunchiness stands out. A cajun fry is supposed to be well seasoned and have a strong crunch on it, and Tangi lanes delivered on both of those. Both of these items to me are getting 4.7’s out of 5.

1. Funnel Cake Fries

 Lastly I had to top that off with desert. For dessert I decided to try funnel cake fries. I had no idea what I was expecting because I had never had funnel cake in my life. However, when I saw the dessert and tasted it I was pleasantly surprised. What they looked like was long, almost fry looking dough with powdered sugar on top. Most people when they get powdered sugar on items tend to think they get too much. Not here because I was able to eat all the funnel cake fries and the powdered sugar that was provided to me. First time trying funnel cake fries I would give those a solid 4 out of 5.

1. Conclusion

 My conclusion from my eating experience at Tangi Lanes is that I have to go back. The food there was tremendous, while being reasonably priced. All of the food I had came up to a total of only $30.00. The staff who took my order was also amazing and the kitchen I can tell took their time in making the food amazing, and to think, I haven't even touched on the bowling itself yet. However, when it comes to food, I want you and whoever you share this with to visit Tangi Lanes and experience the great food that they provide.
