Splitsville offers fun and food while wearing someone else's shoes

January 23, 2013, 11:12 AM · Splitsville is the newest tenant at WDW's Downtown Disney, and it aims to take bowling to a new level -- two levels, actually. It's a bowling themed restaurant with 30 alleys spread over two floors in the former Virgin Megastore space near the Cirque du Soleil theater. Here's a review of the experience and the food.

The wait for Splitsville was 30 -40 minutes. Luckily we found seats at the bar on the 1st level. There was also a football game playing which added to the crowd. They had an OK selection of draft beer. It came in a giant goblet type glass. The bartenders were very friendly and attentive. As for the food... We had the Pulled Pork Sandwich and Chicken Ceasar Salad. The salad was good. The Sandwich tasted good but it came on the cool side. French fries were fair. I don't know if it was because they were so crowded, or because it was only open for less than a month or a combo of both. But the food sat somewhere for awhile. Hopefully they'll work out the kinks because it's a fun place to eat.

I was already a good bowler, but took the course so I could learn how to keep score, in the days before automatic scoring machines became ubiquitous. And I love me a good plate of fish 'n' chips, but that sounds bad...

There is a bowling alley/eatery that opened not too far from me. They have good food so my expectations are high. I also think they are trying to make the West side more Teen/Young Adult friendly. I feel this is a good step.

It's going to do VERY well.

I have my own :)
