Reviews of Meridian Bowling Lanes (Bowling Alley)

Rachel Parsons

It was a very fun experience for us and our little guy! This place would be great for a party!

Samantha Mallory

Cute little bowling alley around the corner from my school. Stopped by with my roommate who turned out to be a bowling fiend. He has his own ball and everything. Definitely more of a low-tech, classic bowling alley. Cute and quaint. Not all those flashing lights and upbeat techno music you get at some of the newer allies. Just good, old fashioned bowling ally fun. They have leagues that play almost daily from 5-9pm so don't expect to get in during those times, which is the major downside to this place. They do have a small arcade and some pool tables to pass the time while you wait, though. And you can order a beer or three while you play.

Emma Stanger

The price is great. I LOVE MY bowling league.

Deborah Fifer

We went bowling with our senior citizens from the cottages of Emmett and the people at Meridian Lanes were very hospitable and gracious.

Andrew Altman

Very neat. Nice staff. Not too busy at 6:30 on a Saturday. Overall great!

Vinh Le

Love the lanes, food and bar. Needs a little updating. Maybe do a cosmic bowling night to attract the younger crowd

Matthew Larson

Always a down home fun experience, local spot with charm. Good burgers and sides, great service along with great bowling. Recommend cash thunder bowling on Saturday nights.

Jimmie Boyce

Very nice Lanes, had a blast bowling there! Great staff!

Thomas Gatchell

Apparently this place doesn't care about leagues. Last Thursday they screwed things up after our league secretary called on TUESDAY to confirm the new assignments since we gained one team and lost another. They moved us THREE times and there was absolutely no acknowledgement of the situation. The agreement with our league was to not put open bowlers next to our league until 9:15. Well, they have not upheld their end of the agreement. What happens if there is a mechanical issue on one of our league lanes? Used to love to bowl here, but this place couldn't care less about their leagues. I will be looking to bowl elsewhere after this league is done.

The AA mtgs next to bowling alley in same building. The alley is fun great open bowling and leagues. My husbands company rents the entire thing once a year for party and caters it. Very cool.

Marie Patrick

Good fun

Curt Park

My brand new ball got damaged by their machines, they claimed it was already there. I rolled my ball again, it knocked a huge chunk out of it! Then they switched me lanes. Instead of buying me a new ball they decided to repair it, and it left the ball uneven with lumos in it! Terrible! Terrible!

Chad T

Very nice place, nice staff and great lanes.

Tony Allen

Great place to bowl!

Marcus Miller

Not worth it. Plain and simple they don't advertise league nights which guess what every day it is league night. DO NOT EVEN BOTHER FROM 5-9. They will just turn you away. I was hoping to go to this place to play after work most days but this is not the place to do it.

Stephanie Mason

We had a fun time! Easy to use tablets control the lanes. Friendly service. And fun dinosaur shaped ball ramps for the littles.

Melissa Imlach

This is a great place to bowl and take the family. The staff has always been friendly and helpful. Some of the big fancy bowling places have all these flashing lights and loud music. Meridian Lanes is light, bright, not overly loud and plenty of lanes to bowl on. This is my favorite place to go bowling.

Mandi K

Great place to take your family on a hot or cold day

Chris Coggburn

Fantastic bowling alley. Reasonable prices and great staff. Come here instead of the nightmare that is Big Als.

Rhiannon Ackaret

I've always loved bowling places like this one. It's clean, they have a good selection of bowling balls, the employees are friendly and helpful and the prices are good. Their food is delicious, although I wish the portion sizes were a little bigger. Their finger steaks and fries are my favorites from their menu. This location is family friendly and a great place for a date. There's no other place I'd rather go to for bowling.

Catherine Mumm

Family-friendly bowling lanes. Staff is always friendly. Food is pretty good.

Chris Kelly84

Great prices for bowling, also come here to play darts. Never had an issue with the lanes. They also keep the place pretty cool in the summer unlike other venues.

Jon Harmon

I truly love Meridian lanes Idaho. I truly love those lanes for tournament play and events. Is a fantastic place to meet new friends and new bowl is a fantastic place to meet new friends and new Bowlers.

Collin

Great place to take the kids on a stormy, rainy, snowy afternoon. Besides the occasional bowling snob that wants to preach proper bowling etiquette to an 11, 8, and 3 year old; this place is great. Can't blame the bowling alley for people that take themselves too seriously. The beer is cool, refreshing, and reasonably priced. The food is decent and also reasonably priced. Wish there were a "Kids Bowl Free" program in the winter time, when I want to be indoors bowling. I didn't use it once this summer. Smart marketing though. When I signed up for it, the weather sucked. I thought, "heck yeah, what a great idea and an amazing deal!" Soon as the sun and warmth arrived in the valley, things changed. The last place I wanted to be was inside. We'll see you in the winter for sure. I love the staff there working the desk. They are always so nice and helpful.

Alyssa Scholes

We love this place! Fun, clean, friendly environment, with great prices!:)

Nathan Stegeman

Quick, easy and simplistic customer service! I have been here since I was I was a kid with my parents on league night... but so much has changed! No smoking, great snacks and awesome ok me drink prices!!

Brandy Cavazos

Me and my family go bowling here often. Great place and the staff is wonderful. Call ahead for availability on league nights.

ellen micalizzi

They are always nice to our group They are very polite Our group can be a handful sometimes Thank you from The girls at advance services

Mandi Winn

Great friendly service and a clean bowling environment!

Charlene Butt

Love the alley but eat before you go. The cafe is the worst. They will cook your food just fine but during league they like to hold it for thirty minutes before they deliver. Oh wait they don't deliver you have to go tell them you have not received your food yet and watch them take it from a storage area put it on a dirty tray and hand it to you. Cold of course. This was not the first time it is every week. If you want to bowl have good food fast go to Nampa Bowl.

Bragging Board Andy Dansereau

Good people, nice atmosphere, and great excercise

Jan Badler

There was a lost golden lab wandering around the parking lot pushing a trash can. I wanted to help it.

Cecelia Blewett

Great time as always. Whether I'm bowling or playing pool. Great staff. Good people.

Ricky Sines

Great place to take the family for a fun and entertaining evening

Mike Deblieck

Good clean place to bowl. The lanes are a little dry at times. A little expensive for large family.

Jami Lee

I sign my family up for the kids bowl free every year. Meridian bowling lanes is always my choice. Other bowling alleys play the music too loud or have the light too low. We always have a great time bowling or playing pool.

Theressa Bingham

Clean older bowling ally with great staff willing to help.

Melody Catlett

I only went into get change for a 20 Dollar bill but they were very polite and nice

Keith Freeman

It’s a bowling alley. A real one. Nothing Fancy. It’s moderately clean. Very nice people. Very popular hangout.

My favorite lanes in the valley. The beer is cheap, there are plenty of lanes, low prices, and recently updated machines make this place a must go for a good time!

Natalya Besoushko

Lots of lanes and great service!

Brandon Pugmire

Great value! We took our family and had alot of fun!

Robert Runyan

Great alley to bowl at. That's the highest statement I can say you will not be disappointed. If you are looking for lanes that allow you the best opportunity to score this is your place in the valley.

Kody Beck

Wait time was a lil long with many open lanes but all in all a great experience with lots too offer

Scott Gibbons

Don't go on a Friday before 9pm

Christian Ashcraft

Love bowling league there, Lane conditions and approaches are always well maintained. Staff is really nice. Easy to get to from anywhere in the valley. Great prices on bowling practice or for fun, save your money and go to a locally owned bowling alley.

Tom Glockner

Nice people but the lanes are tough

Mike J

For the past two summers my 13 year old son Steven has participated in the kids bowl free program and throughly enjoyed it. It also provided us with another bonding experience. The burgers are pretty good as well.

Shawn Jefferds

Fun time with family for a birthday. Reasonable prices all around.

Brianna Sali

Awesome staff and fun atmosphere!

Christian De Jong

I love this place. Just feels right. May not be super modern or with the times, but it's everything you could ever need.

Levi Davis

By far the best place to bowl in the area, I go here in the mornings weekly with my coworkers and love the atmosphere, food and price. Other places in meridian charge ridiculous fees for one to two games that I could do open bowling here, play 3 games and rent shoes for only $9. This place is a community staple and I'll always be back.

Sherill Tweeter

They are a great place.But people need to stop breaking ther equipment. But there still great

Andrea Werner

Good family fun, neat and clean.

bai ma

Fun for the entire family.

joshua martin

Great old school bowling alley

Rodney Frank

Great local bowling alley! Friendly and fun!

derrick urquidi

Good bowling alley with cheap drinks and bowling. I liked big Al's Monte Carlo much better than meridian Lanes.

Julie Dewey

The staff here are great with little kids, disabled... Everyone. Fries are great and bowling fun with bumpers and dragon shaped ball ramps

Kory Harper

32 lanes with a huge bar. Not crowded at all on .99 cent night. Great for large leagues.

Karla Ott

My husband & I do Cash Thunder on Saturday night pretty frequently. It's always so much fun & everyone always remembers us!

Shaylin Carroll

The owner was super nice and they were really accommodating. Even gave us some freebies!

mikeal Campbell

This place was so awesome! They have 32 lanes and there was 28 free lanes and we only had an hour and a half wait to bowl and so we managed to bowl zero game before we was forced to leave because of extreme exciting feeling of a failed evening out with the family. I absolutely recommend this place if you feel like saving some money on your bowling experience. Thank you meridian bowl for the lack of experience in fun and pleasure. Job Well done!

God Creator

Too busy all day was a tournament!

Madison Fujimoto

Fast, friendly, quick. Surprisingly good food!

Leen Williams

My boyfriend and I love to Play dart(not in a tournament). They have a comfortable set up. They have some great burgers and the cost for drinks is great. Happy hour is from 3 to 6 and they are not skimpy on mixed drinks!!

John Jacobs

Great weekday deals. Hood snack bar.

Fire spirits 123

We love meridian lanes, great food, wonderful service. Lots of family fun!

Dale Mitchell

A great place for family, friends, and fun. Bowling, arcade games, food, and yes they also have a bar for adult beverages.

brenda walker

Good food but the lady at the shoe counter is rude!

Tim Finup

My wife and I came here for a youth bowling tournament. You should probably never book a tournament there if you have spectators. They have exactly two chairs per pair of lanes, and not even any room to stand..

Patrick Irving

Great Prices. Great staff. Fun for the whole family!

Erik Sanchez

The prices are great but the lanes not so much. Lumpy lanes and chipped house balls

Tanner Pratt

The best bowling lanes in the valley. Perfect place if you are genuinely trying to improve your bowling, or if you are just looking for some fun with friends. Exceptionally welcoming and kind staff. Food is overpriced, but delicious and fast service. Overall a great place to bowl.

andrea sorenson

Sometimes the lanes need a better waxing job, but its the all time favorite bowling alley.

Justin Goodman

Great bowling alley. Clean with great service.

Aaron Ebanks

Went here and I very much enjoyed it! Great bar, nice staff. I'll be coming back.

Sean Fuller

People saved my life...thanks to AA.

Lucas Felten

Lanes and especially shoes were clean and well-maintained. This place has probably the best drink prices in Meridian, especially on their happy hour. All staff were friendly and easy to work with

William Fremgen

Great happy hour. Friendly staff. Nice to see a locally owned establishment doing well!

Kristianna Moore

We always have a good time!

Hunter Cabrera

Don't advertise 99 cent Mondays if you have leagues all day. Also when I come in at noon don't tell me to come back at 3:30 if there's more league.... waste of my time thx.

Julie Trana

Fun relaxed bowling alley with good prices. DO NOT buy the super nachos though. $16 and waited for 45 minutes to get a small plate of cold stale chips with cold canned cheese. It did have a small amount of taco meat and olives, with salsa, sour cream, and jalapenos on the side. This was definitely disappointing and not worth the money or wait for cold stale nachos.

Keena Grider

Not bad for a Friday night. Good time with friends.

Lolo V

Please change your Saturday Spring hours on your website. We were there at 10 today.

Arthur Alexander

Great establishment

legend_of_zapdos

Good place to play pool, bowling can get pretty crowded though and the older audience that utilizes the bar can be pretty obnoxious but for the most part it's a pretty fun place

Dusty Summers

What a fantastic place! Great lanes! Amazing food with lots of options... the staff is top notch!

KK Art & Animation

Amazing but the electronics are oldish an lag.... Other than that great.

Duane Springer

Great place, nice employees, clean and well kept with several lanes to play, outstanding.

Simon Anderson

Great price. Awesome analytics and data on your bowling. 40 lanes. The place is huge.

Tana Cupps

The people who work to there are great and very helpful. Loved the environment. Prices are reasonable and even though they were packed/busy, we were able to get a lane real quick.

Mason Allen

Awesome place to go bowling! Great staff, great lanes, I’m one of the high school bowlers and let me just tell you that it is probably one of the best bowling alleys I’ve ever bowled I even got my high score their which is 267(not to brag) but overall this place is awesome! If u ever get a chance, get the Oreo shake or tots and fries with lots of fry sauce(the best) the owner and the staff are probably the most outgoing and funny people to talk to who brighten up ur day!!!! Five stars for a great bowling alley!!!!!!!!!!

Daniel Clark

Good old fashion atmosphere. You go to have a good time bowling at a reasonable price.

Mario Munoz

Great time, visiting from L.A. California and had a great time playing with friends.

Emily Gonser

We love this place!!!!!!!!! Bowling here is great. The staff is always friendly. Descent food.

Cris Wesselman

Not a bad place to bowl. Could use some updating.
