Inspection summary
Falcon Lanes has been inspected 12 times by Interior Health Authority since March 19, 2013. The most recent inspection, on September 25, 2026, found no infractions.
5 of 12 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there was 1 inspection with 0 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Cleaning and sanitizing, Food temperature control and Pests.
The number of infractions per inspection has stayed roughly the same over time.
What these findings mean
Health authorities word their violations differently, so we group them by what they mean for food safety. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.
Cleaning and sanitizingHigher risk
Anything that touches food, such as cutting boards, dishes and utensils, must be washed, rinsed and sanitized. Inspectors check dishwasher temperatures, sanitizer strength and how wiping cloths are stored. Poor sanitizing lets bacteria survive from one use to the next.
Recorded 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on May 2, 2023. For example:
3 Are food contact surfaces, utensils and equipment washed and sanitized in a manner that removes/prevents contamination?
Food temperature controlHigher risk
Bacteria multiply fastest between about 4 °C and 60 °C (40 °F to 140 °F). Inspectors check that cold food stays cold, hot food stays hot, cooked food is cooled quickly, and that staff have accurate thermometers. Temperature problems are one of the most common causes of food poisoning, so these are treated as critical findings.
Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on May 2, 2025. For example:
2 Are proper temperature controls maintained to ensure safe storage and display of foods?
PestsHigher risk
Signs of mice, rats, cockroaches or flies, or gaps and clutter that let them get in or hide. Pests carry bacteria and can contaminate food and surfaces, so evidence of activity is treated seriously and usually triggers a follow-up visit.
Recorded once on April 8, 2024. For example:
2 Are proper pest control measures in place on the premises?
Food safety training and certificationLower risk
Most jurisdictions require a certified food handler or manager on site, and some require allergen or food-worker training. These findings mean the paperwork or the trained person was missing at the time. They do not by themselves mean food was handled unsafely.
Recorded 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on April 12, 2022. For example:
6 Are the FOODSAFE training requirements being met?
Equipment and utensilsLower risk
Equipment has to be built from cleanable materials, kept in good repair and stored properly. These findings are mostly about upkeep, like a cracked shelf, a worn gasket or utensils stored the wrong way. They are generally lower risk but show how well the kitchen is maintained.
Recorded once on June 6, 2017. For example:
4 - Are the premises, equipment and utensils designed and maintained to ensure safe and sanitary food handling?

Unfortunately this is the only place in town to knock down some pins. A bridesmaid’s night out turned to counting down the minutes we could leave. The staff isn’t friendly at all, they also came up to us when one of us ate a fry from our other friends plate(also the fries were microwaved and disgusting)! They said against policy?! They were so worried about fries they had no AC running , lights were on and no music. The atmosphere was so weird and so uncomfortable. Once the clock reached 6pm and a birthday party was arriving and setting up some music went on so maybe my group wasn’t worth tunes. The owners cool ride was parked out front so as we left we understood the fortunes of money he’s saving on no AC and microwaved fries. Genuinely would have a better time at kids bowling down at Fun Factor next time.

Second time I book a 10-pin lane over the phone and get told everything is good. I show up with my friends, ready to play, and suddenly I’m told I “didn’t request that specific lane” so they gave it away to another group. No accountability, no sympathy, no effort to fix it. Just a cold “that’s how it is.” I’ve never left a bad review before, but this was straight-up unprofessional. If you confirm a reservation, honor it. Simple. Really disappointed.

my fry’s are taking 40 years to get to me, this is ridiculous. i would understand if they were busy but it wasn’t busy when we ordered them. when they arrived to us they were lukewarm and kinda gross

Affordable prices for 5 pin bowling at a nostalgic and family friendly center. Lots of character and charm with this facility being the only bowling centre remaining in town! Nothing flashy but great fun!
- Zee Brown
Great lanes. Some of the best I've seen. If you go on Sunday it's $2/game and $2 for shoe rentals. I've gone twice in 2 weeks now. Thanks for an awesome way to spend an evening and being a local go to. I will suggest you as an outing to everyone I can.
