Reviews of AMF Margate Lanes (Bowling Alley)

Erica Chen-Loy

The bowling shoes were extremely uncomfortable. It's better to bowl in your socks. I gave a 4 rating because the staff I encountered are really pleasant and helpful.

Staff are friendly. Alleys are good. Fun time.

Gee Dot Jordan

The facility is old.. The staff is nice.. It's also expensive but then again almost all bowling allies are now

DuJon T

Great Prices and lots of fun!

Aj Bautista

Great for families! Awesome operators and staff. Check their variety of discounts and specials throughout the week.

Héctor Alfredo Macareño Delgado

A good place to play Bowling, its a little older.

Very nice place and confortable

Alright lanes...they cut you off before your last set as a routine. You will have to complain to run the last set. Dirty tables everywhere you will have to clean the plates and cups from the last group yourself.

alicia nance

Had to wait a few minutes for anyone to set us up, and then they put my husband and I right next to someone who was practicing their league bowling (meaning they were using 2 lanes) and the guy seemed annoyed too. Our balls got stuck at one point, and again, it took a while to find someone to help us. Shared a drink from the bar, didn't taste hardly any alcohol and tasted watered down.

Laura Ponce de leon

Is a fun place its clean and they have very good service

Andrea Middelhove

We rented 2 lanes for a kid's birthday party on a late friday afternoon and it was awesome! The staff were very friendly and attentive. They turned on the Disco lights, put a ramp for some younger kids; food and drinks were plenty. The kids had a real blast. The birthday package came at a reasonable price, too. Would definitely go there again.

This place is so unwelcoming, you walk in the door and stand in this line to get a lane for nearly 40 minutes with several employees walking around there. Then you get to the desk to encounter this rude ass old lady, we finally get the lane and you have to go back to grandma because the keyboard to enter the names doesn't work and now she is with someone else and she makes you wait another 20 mins before she focuses on you. Then my husband goes to the bar for a drink and tells the the bartender he wants ________ drink and the bartender asks him how do you make that? (which at that point we shouldve left) We start to bowl and things were okay for the most part having fun, then my kids go to buy food and needless to say were gone with no exaggeration for nearly 35 minutes, with our games held up because the cook or clerk (whoever) kept going from the food area to the check in desk to the bar. People please don't waste your time, it was one calamity after the next in this place and totally not worth the time!

Alvaro Jose

Got some good deals on specific days.

Albert White

Great family atmosphere. .food not so good

Rick Dawg

I came to Try out my new bowling ball on Sunday. I don’t know if it was because it’s a special on this day or what. But the lanes were not oiled & The woman behind the counter kept cutting my lane off early! Every time I got to #8 or #9, she wouldn’t let me finish & was very non Chalant about it. I will not be visiting here again nor will I recommend this bowling alley to anyone.

Kalina Musgrave

Love that place, kids loves it too

Raven Christian

During what seems to be the busy time on a Saturday night, they only had one person taking the orders and assigning lanes. The food is decent better than I thought but of course overpriced. Lastly they are extremely understaffed because everything you wanted to do was at least a 25 minute wait. From ordering your lanes, ordering your food, ordering beer and getting shoes. Just get more employees.

Nextor Chery

Super fun to go to, had an amazing time. Just wish my drink wasn't almost $5 lol

Andres Castrillon

Really comfortable seats that's it . The service was horrible . The food clerk looked high with red eyes charged me for my order and walk away to another register. And we waited for 15 min waiting for out food . When other staff member decided to assis us he realized that the order was never sent by his co-worker So we have to wait another 10 min to get our food . When we arrive to the our movie the entire cinema was dirty food and garbage all over other costumer were complaining abouts it . The movie started and the cleaning ladies were still in between lanes cleaning while customers were trying to watch the movie .. low management.

Mizz Elly

The staff was very nice and helpful. I ALWAYS have fun when i come here. The food is... so so but they have great deals so i guess that makes up for it.

Christian B.

I come here at least twice a week, people are nice service is great, would recommend to anyone

Adriana R

It was alot of fun

Chrissy Oliver

Had fun with the family on this rainy sunday night. Everything was great except for them being out of most things on the menu

heather dawson

I love it joining a league

Nylphia Foster

Great atmosphere. Love the kids rack so even toddlers can bowl. The food took way too long. Almost 45 min for a turkey burger and onion rings. They were good when I got them but the 2 ladies need help in the snack area.

Kimberly Christianson

Lanes are always dry

Alice Gilbert

Updated, fun for family, food is really good, little bar and pool tables and a game room. Ample parking too.

Peter Cairone

It's a bowling alley, deasant food but expensive

Jared Miller

This place is awesome. Very reasonably priced , plenty of tv's to watch any big game on and an amazing family atmosphere. Not to mention the friendly staff and a very devoted GM.

Kaleen Martinez

Great prices on special days. Very old and has not been renovated. Food was overpriced and not very good

Joanette Harmon

Lot's of fun.

Robert N. Prymus, Jr.

Great place for food and fun

Bebe Leelee

My boyfriend and I always come here and we have a great time! Customer service is super and the lanes are the best compared to other bowling alleys. Their specials that they have throughout the week are cool too...

clifford blaize

Great customer service

sue crawley

Great staff. Adam is awesome.

Jason McCaslin

May not have the razzle dazzle of some other alleys but thebowling is just as fun. The place is clean although the restrooms need a serious update and overhaul.

Ariel W.

My photography group decided to have a Monday meet up at the bowling alley to answer the question can photographers bowl? I haven't been to this bowling alley since it was a Brunswick Lanes. Our original plan was supposed to be Sawgrass Lanes but they canceled our reservation. This worked out great for me because it was right around the corner from my house. AMF has made some improvements and it looks great. We had a fairly large group so we took over four lanes. I got my shoes and was impressed by how new and clean they looked. I had a great time bowling even though I am not very good. By the end of this outing I was glad that I didn't sign up for the bowling event at the Yelp games. I still had fun though and I had forgotten how much fun it is to go bowling. We had a great time ribbing and cheering each other on. As it got late they turned down the lights and turned on the black lights and multi color lights for glow in the dark bowling. They also had screens above the lanes showing the basketball game. While we bowled we munched on food from the snack bar. We had fries, wings, pizza, and burgers. They offer the typical selections you would expect from a snack bar. Other amenities offered here include a pro shop, pool tables, and a game room. As for the question can photographers bowl the answer is while only some can bowl well all can have fun trying.

Owen Rogers

Nice place. Food was God and our waitress was funny.

Nationwide Trans

What ever you do.. Do not eat here.. the food is disgusting.. lanes are ok but the customer service and the food are terrible

Manny Cuevas

Very nice place to go with the family

Leidy Diaz

Good customer service. The food is very pricey and the quality and quantity is not good at all. I ordered a large order of chicken wings,the wings looked like pop corn chicken. They charge 3.00 more for French fries, the fries were super greasy.

Matt Defrain

Friendly people who work here. They cleaned up a lot since bowlero took over. Only reason for 3 star is the computers glitch a lot and it's a little pricey when specials aren't running. Good bowling alley at the end of the day.

Eric Massa

Billiards tables could do with some maintenance, but a good bowling alley regardless.

Chris Gordon

Good, clean place. Lanes kept breaking though

rocio vera

Place is totally renovated. They have new equipment (shoes, lanes, billiards, arcade games, etc). I went on Saturday's night around 9pm. I had an awesome time and the service was pretty good. Definitively coming back!! Shoes are rented for $5 Game per person is $5

Pete

A quaint place that usually promotes a good experience but beware it can get loose and roudy..

leighton sharras

Great place for family nights

Mimi Gee

Awesome time with the kids food was hot & fresh

Auroramary Santiago

Always a great time with the family.

Maria Isaias

Great place to just take the boys and bowl.

Guss H

Aaron Mensch

My favorite place. Unlimited bowling on Monday's after 8:30pm

Krista Shuffett

Older and the music is not current pop but it was nice ,not crowded and good prices

Emily Abel

Really great alley without a lot of bells and whistles

Bryan Bergamo

Great atmosphere, location.... bowling & beer

MyDevious Designs

We did a bday special, it was perfect

Michelle Antoinette

Nice place to go bowling with the family or a date night. Great customer service!

Armondo Soares

Lots of fun there.

Ryan Duran

A little on the older side but very clean and they have great deals throughout the week. Good atmosphere and friendly staff.

Renard Poitier

Approaches are terrible. Bowl league there Monday nights and can't wait until the season is over so I can leave and go to a real bowling alley. Was bad enough when it was Brunswick but since AMF took over it's gone steadily downhill. Wouldn't recommend it to my worse enemy!!!!!!! Only reason I gave it one star was because it wouldn't allow me to give it none......

John Bentley

This place made me feel like I was walking into the 1970s

Willie Harrell

No one available to serve at the snack bar!

Jon Andersen

Good for family bowling. Food reasonable.

Jie A

Great staff

Daniel St. Juste

The music can be better

John Myers

This is an ok place to go. Their equipment could be updated for the lanes.

180 Degree Change Mike

Nice place for bowling and a game of pool

Vass G.

In general ok and not so expensive but the system might need an upgrade. It was from 1999. Got stuck a couple of times and the service guy fixed.

Sajid Khan

Screens are small, old TV's for score display limiting to 1/2 row at a time scoring . Staff is awesome would like to see much needed infrastructure update esp TV screens . I don't like the projector and songs with low lighting in night . Can we have options to stop it all in a lane ? ?

Dionica Osteen

Had a great time and the food was delicious

Megan Picillo

There was a palmetto bug that was running around but the service was really good and the people were very friendly

Gary Guenther

We had a great time. thanks

Wyatt Lavoie

The prices are kind of high and the lanes could have better maintenance. However its still fun for dates, group events, or even just by yourself. Accompanying the lanes is an arcade and bar. The staff is also always ready and more than willing to accommodate any special needs you may need.

Marvin Correa

Good staff, friendly and personable, don't have too many issues with ball returns and anything that does happen gets taken care of pretty quickly. Smallish leagues, but fills up the house Tuesday nights and Wednesday nights. Lanes are pretty highish friction.

Ashley Smith

Always a blast and cheap :-) Monday’s are my favorite

Davidelladuck Voltron

When you are done bowling you can get a card and play some games.

Dogwood Jones

It's the same as every bowling alley I've been to in 20 years. It's fine.

Cimone Campbell

I called for $19 Groupon but it’s not usuable until 24 hours later. I called and asked what is the cost for 2 people. I’m not stupid! They said $5.75 per game. At the end of the game the guy manager says its per person! The place a/c was not working it was hot I would have stopped playing if I knew the cost. They still charged me per person. I will never come back to this money hungry place. It’s completely empty. Because it’s expensive it’s a Saturday!

Rich Gonzalez

It's a bowling alley with an arcade, bar, pool tables, and a pro shop. Kind of feels a bit dingy and dated, but, it's good for kids parties and a cheap date.

Nestor H Rincon

Friendly and nice place

Brandon Robb

Lanes are good atmosphere can use some improvement

Eric Haseman Jr

I bowl in the Thursday and Friday night leagues here and I couldn’t recommend it more. The staff is friendly, approachable, and very helpful. There are always great deals and opportunities for both casual and especially frequent league bowlers to keep you coming back for more. The lanes and approaches are kept in good conditions, it seems like the machines and scoring systems are always improving, and every time you come back something new is being added to make the location just a little bit better.

chris guthrie

What a great place to bring family and friends. The people who work there are the best. The manager Adam is always so friendly.

reelmediahdinc .

Beautifully remodeled and up to date venue with an incredible birthday package/experience! Adam the manager is on point and all about customer service. They make it easy, fun, affordable with delicious food options. Thanks so much for helping us celebrate my husband’s 39th birthday!

Kim Elveus

Too expensive but it's a nice bowling alley.

Maria Leon

They said we didn't have to reserve a lane when we called. We saw empty lanes and still had to wait. We played in the arcade and machines were down and the basket balls game only had 2 balls. Tried to get things from the ticket machine with our tickets and nothing came out. The music was good but you could barely hear it. Sunday prices I guess weren't too bad but would like a little more fun of an atmosphere.

Chris H

Don't bother going for the tuesday special. Starts at 8. We got there at 8:20 and there was a 1.5hr wait because Tuesday night leagues were taking up most of the lanes. Well played. Hopefully save you from wasting your time like we did. Go elsewhere.

Rhonda L

I love this place because it still have that old school bowling. Please don't change! Brings back memories. Good family fun!

William T.

We recently had a Company Bowling League use this facility and we were extremely satisfied with the professionalism and attention we received from Ryan the general manager and the staff. Pro shop was great and the food service was exceptional. The entire experience was excellent. We intend to continue to utilize this facility for future leagues. Highly recommend Brunswick Zone in Margate.

James Wile

Excellent time good price fun

Analic Pena

Really nice experience and very funny

Jw Mann

The staff is great especially briana in the snack bar. She was so pleasant to talk to! The food was excellent and was made very quick. We had so much fun at brunswick lanes bowling!!!

Sharon Zohar

I was there for a child's birthday party. The kids had a great time, the party was well-organized, and the staff was very helpful and accommodating. I highly recommend this place for kids' parties. If I were still able to bowl myself (my wrists and back are too messed up for that, permanently), I'd definitely try this alley myself!

JOSE CASTANO

Clean and fast service.

Chantelle Delgado

The bowling alley is small compared to others in the area but they have decent lanes and the arcade was fun. We went for a birthday party and it seemed well organized with the food and attention from the staff.

Luis Salomon

It's getting better, but still has a lot to work on.

jim james

Always and calm and enjoyable atmosphere

Phenomenal Keesha Keesh

It's A Great Family Place For Fun Bowling,Pool And Food! The Location Is Good And Plenty Of Parking...

Nicole LaToya Davis

They have great shoes and balls. The atmosphere is excellent and children friendly. They have a good menu with healthy choices however it takes forever. Arcade area needs help, the games are old and broken.

Vanessa Belton

Overall, we had fun bowling but a few improvements can be made. The table was left dirty by former patrons and no one ever came to clean it, we ended up cleaning the mess ourselves. Service at the bar was also lacking. I stood there for almost 10 minutes without seeing a bartender. I decided against patronizing the bar.

SOVEREIGN HUMAN

Excellent employees, atmosphere is always upbeat and friendly. Technical a problems are few & far between. Arcade for the younger kids the food and drink menu is a little too pricy but overall a nice selection.

ZION LION

Cool staff?, but oily lanes

Denisha Waite

The staff was so kind and attentive. We had a blast. It was affordable and the food was good.

Wilma Medina

Had fun it was a very pleasant experience, however the food selection is minimal and my chicken tender was salty that's my only issue but other than that it was fun.

Marc

Reasonable prices, ok machinery.

Pyolah Q-tee

Place and food was good for our church fun night, only issue is our lanes kept malfunctioning and bowling balls took forever to reload (balls not responding to call button) sometime not at all so we kept having to call for assistance.

Luc Mot

Fun place but needs to be renovated urgently

Mark Vlismas

Took my 5 year old there for his friends birthday party. Always fun. Under new management so expect some dust.

Dylan Oliver

Change promotions again... But was good better than Boca

paul fryburg

Cathy Moore

Faron Musser

Well the price of bowling has gone through the roof get a coupon and you have a great time,Exspect to spend a 100.00 on 6 kids and one adult.

Annie Ascencio

Not Working LNe With The Bowling BAll Had To Wait

NEKOMIMIYAMA AMV

3 stars because the pool tables are terrible. Although the juke box was great and the people were amazing. Beer was good. The bowling place got brand new TVs and its nicer looking.

John candy

Fun nice place.all ages wit bumper bowling if need.

Shirley Ramos

Bowling lane wasnt calibrated and lane kept messing up. We ordered 2 soft pretzels and they took 52 minutes to get to us. By then we were 2 turns away from our last bowl. Food was ordered at the beginning of the bowl.

Tracer Trace

Ok for a casual night of bowling. Food was mediocre and expensive. Worth it with a discount or Groupon

Orlando Pena

We are Coaches at a local HS and decided to take our Girls Tennis Team out for a day of fun to a local Bowling Alley to get away from the tedious past month of practice before the start of the season! The bowling alley was Not in the best of shape or cleanliness! The bowling shoes we were given were so bad that you couldn't slide on the approach and the food was less than palatable. We will NOT be returning!!!

David Blake

Had a great time fun place to take the family and friends

Valeria Protesoni

Could have more food and cocktail options

Nicole Liskowitz

Advertisement saying 2.22 for shoes per person on Tuesdays after 6. We show up with our family and no open lanes because they have 3 leagues playing in one night. Apparently every Tuesday. There were open lanes but they wouldn't give them to us.

Joe Garritano

Do yourself a favor and make the drive to Sawgrass lanes. Maybe we went on a bad day for AMF but it was bad enough to never go back. Hope that's not the norm or this place won't make it.

Scott Macaluso

It's a typical bowling alley. Not fancy, but staff was nice.

Tyler Bourgoine

the place is clean but some of the equipment needs updating. the touch screens for bowler input didn't work and the one chair was broke. nice people and service though. helped right away.

Steven Karfis

Terrible customer service, food cost way more then it tastes good. Seems like the employees don't wanna be there and it shows. But people go where it's cheap and they have good deals on some days.

Sophia Johnson

Enjoyed bowling for thw first time. Nice clean environment. Lots of fun.

Nadege LaRoche

Great place to hang with friends and family.

Shanell Williams

Nice 32 lane house. Lots of leagues for all levels.

Moni Coelho

Always here and always a great time

Mauricio Flores

Good

edlin abella

if you want to go bowling... go somewhere else. food service is awful . took more than 45 mins for a large pizza

William Fiore

AMF raises the bar, past what Brunswick was. A++

ivy ortiz

Nice place to enjoy with the family and have a cool beer

Vincent Martinez

The place is a little dated, but the people are absolutely great.

Evandro Filgueiras

Great place to go have fun. They have awesome specials on Tuesday starting at 8PM. But you have to be there earlier if you want to get a lane.

Adelaide Geer

Lots of fun for kids. Great staff! Very helpful.

Noriles Dorestan

Great place to have good bowling for an affordable price with friends and relatives.

Michael Bristol

Very nice bowling alley, with plenty of room and nice lanes. There is a decent bar inside with pool tables. The mini arcade is nice for the kids too. Very polite staff working there as well. Even the rental shoes were pretty nice. They have accommodations for little kids too bowl as well, including bumpers, a guide to help them get the ball down the lane, and very light balls for them to use. Highly recommended!!!

Brad Renson

Very good

Ron Brown jr

Bartender lost my my cousins debit card and we had to wait over an hour for them to actually look for it and the food was subpar if I could give them a 0 out of 5 I would.

Jessica Ramirez

Great place for family fun! Quick service, friendly staff and bar for adults. Will recommend the fries ay this place! It is a little bit of an older place but it's clean and there was lots of staff to help with the little issues we we're having.

A.J.V.

Nice lanes. Really no specials available. Food is not all that good. Staff is semi helpful.

Adira B

Lots of problems with the lane for 3 kiddos (like the lane shutting off mid-frame several times, not recognizing pins down, AND the intercom didn't work), so we kept having the go get somebody to attend to the lane issues. With 2 frames left, they finally switched our lane. People were nice, but reliability of equipment would've been nice.

schilda Charite

No music

steven tacle

It's pretty good, they recently went through a buy-out but are nonetheless a good place to go with your friends or family. One thing I could probably say needs improvement is the screens used to display the score. It certainly could use an upgrade.

Ashley Bloye

Haven't been bowling in a while and this place is down the street from me. I went on a Wednesday and the deal was seven dollars unlimited bowling from nine PM on. That gave great deals all through the week. So much fun!!

Alessandra Benevides

Lanes keep bugging, it took 30 min to change lanes, nothing was working and management felt like we were upseting them?!? 8 kids playing and never working properly. I can't blame then for the malfunction of the lanes, just make it right or refund money and tell us to come back another time, but don't act bothered because we are asking to play, after we paid for it.

Jermaine Givens

Loved the service, great people, fun for family and friends.

Barry Dawson

The place is run down, they stopped serving YuengLing and replaced it Amber Bach. The selection of Bowling Balls are limited, 2 games for 4 people and shoes was over $100. Way over priced for the amenities.

Dave Klein

The staff was really nice but the equipment broke repeatedly on different lanes for a single game.

Bobby Jones

Good
