This place absolutely sucks. Walked in and nobody was at the front counter. The bartender was the only guy trying to run everything. We got an open lane and they only had 1 target. They didn’t have an option for playing games like other places have. To top it off, you can’t even keep score. I asked him how do we keep score and he said “sorry, you can’t keep score because someone stole the iPad”. Only a couple lanes had an iPad. Well how about you guys replace it! That’s part of being a business. I’m not gonna play the same old stupid game with my daughter for an hour and not be able to keep score. Didn’t even get offered a discount. Just got a refund and left. Don’t waste your time here.
What a fun activity for my group of girlfriends. We started with drinks at the bar, ordered food, and then went to throw axes. The staff was awesome. Very helpful and so friendly. We all had a great night! Thank you all for such a fun time!
Took in a group of twelve and was well taken care of during our couple hours of drinks and dinner. Chicken strips and buffalo chicken pizza are solid choices. Highly recommend the prickly pear margarita
We had an absolutely fantastic time at Lumberjaxes Axe Throwing! We brought a friend from out of town who had never thrown an axe before, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure she had a great experience. Phoenix took the time to teach her the proper technique, and after just a few attempts, she nailed a bullseye—talk about a confidence boost! The entire staff was friendly, welcoming, and made the atmosphere fun and engaging. On top of that, the prickly pear margaritas were delicious—a perfect way to celebrate our victories! Whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned pro, this place is a must-visit. We highly recommend it and will definitely be back for another round!
I have been to a few other axe throwing places, but this one takes the spot for the best! Our axe throwing coach was Kelsey, and she was outstanding! She consistently checked on us to make sure we were doing good, gave us pointers to improve our throws, and even took great care of us for food and drinks. We even met the manager, Jerry, and he was a outstanding as well! He offered his advice and even joked around with us. The food and drinks were also outstanding! We got the pub burger and the sausage and pretzel appetizer and it was amazing. The Watermelon Margarita is a must try! Overall, we cannot wait to come back here for date night again. Next time, we’ll be sure to bring some friends for some more competition. Thank you so much Kelsey, Jerry, and everyone else from Lumberjaxes for an amazing time!
