Reviews of Old Orchard Lanes & Links (Bowling Alley)

Chris Nicholson

This was my first time at this alkey. I thought it was neat that you could set bumpers up or down for each bowler. The place was not dingy like a lot of bowling alleys I have been to. I would give 5 stars but tables were not wiped clean. I would recommend this place over the other places in the area.

Carol Nofftz

Clean but can be a lot of noise. Went for lunch. Have a great lunch menu and specials. Great service good food. Can get their pizza fast to. Works well for working people to get in and out. Plenty of parking. Great bowling alley too. Will be back.

Lorri Yeoward

The food was great but the service sucked. Rude waiter, not sure if he was having a bad night or what. Sat at dirty table that never got cleaned, waiter looked at us and made us wait as he cleaned off other tables and told us he would be with us in a minute when we asked. The pizza is excellent!!!!

Patty Kocher

sat for 20minutes waiting for service & got nothing. we left.

Rose Paul

My family and I were in the mood for pizza, the pizza was fantastic! The service was also pretty good. My only complaint is how busy it was, we had to find out own table which meant we were standing around waiting for another family to finish and take the table before someone else did. In their defense it is still holiday season and a Friday night.

Kalen Bentley

Best pizza in town and great bowling. Also check out the mini golf next door

CB Midkiff

Fun and retro. The food was great, too.

sgarrett1965

Great bowling alley, excellent food, sexy male bartender.

Allan Maxwell

I think the pizza is great. It reminds me of the pizza Monicals had when I was growing up (40 yrs ago). I often go to just get pizza. The bowling lanes are well maintained and kid friendly. My girls and I bowl here often, and this is one of the few bowling alleys where the children's bowling shoes are in good repair. The staff are attentive and happy. I really like spending quality time here with my family.

Amanda Palla

We love Old Orchard Lanes. The bowling alley is clean, well run, and they serve great thin-crust pizza. We always enjoy ourselves here. They participate in Kids Bowl Free, and you can sign your kids up for two free games every day during the summer. You can even add on a family pass for a small cost to allow adults to bowl for free with the kids. You only have to pay for shoe rentals. This is the best place to bowl in C-U.

Ashlee Reynolds

Service is great! Great pizza and family bowling experience.

Mia Hilton

My family/friends and I had a great time bowling and eating really good pizza!

One of my favorite places to go. Love the bar love the bowling. Love that it stays the same and is always crowded.

Martin Mott

Great pizza! Usually a nice drink special each night also.

Kassie Hobbs

Always a great time at Old Orchard! You can never go wrong with bowling and their putt putt is also a blast. Don't get me started about their pizza... it gives Monicals a run for their money.

Jess S.

We bowled during the daytime hours during the week. Great experience. This was the first time taking our kids bowling (7,2). We all ready enjoyed it. We ordered a pizza from the snack bar and enjoyed it, as well.

Great prices and always friendly staff. I come here any time me and my friends want something to do.

Tracey Johnson

Food and service are both good.

Lee Burton

Pretty cool lanes. Love the pop up bumpers for each individual bowler. Plenty of seating for everyone, even those that aren't bowling. Excellent food available. Reasonably priced fees for bowling. Our family bowls here every year we visit family in the area.

The place was packed and we had to wait but no biggie! The pizza, bowl, and atmosphere is good!

Jordan Creek

Great pizza! Good overall atmosphere to sit back watch some sports and enjoy some solid food!

Jeremy Greene

This place is an excellent place to bowl at. The staff is always so friendly and helpful and nice and everything. The lanes are very well taken care of and the snack bar is priced well. The prices are below the competition in Champaign, IL at other bowling centers. This has and always been one of my favorite places to bowl at. Highly recommend! Love this place!

Ty Mckenzie

Good Times!!! Great Pizza

Jerry Gamble

Nice family-friendly atmosphere. Needs new Bolling balls and shoes. Lanes are average. Automated scoring is nice. Overpriced in my opinion.

Jeremy Simmons

Great place, took care of our company event well..

Leo Kinsella

Why in the actual world would you close for Father’s Day? Bowling is a Father’s Day tradition!

Brett Graham

Bowling, good food, and great beers on tap. Gluten free pizza options. They keep a clean beer system and drafts are always clean, crisp, and delicious.

Madison Tharp

Great place to go with family and friends food is great and so is the atmosphere

Sha'rika Wilson

Terrible first time experience bowling with my children. The young guy at the front desk was very rude and non accommodating. He had a very condescending tone and stated that he was the manager. I called back a few days later to share my experience and was told that Scott is the owner. I left a message for Scott and have yet to receive a phone call days later. I will not be visiting this location again.

Emma Young

It was a really nice place the only problem was that the food took long to get and eat

Hot Mimi Hall

We enjoy their pizza's & sandwiches. Always a great time.

Jose Vazquez

We had my son's birthday party here (miniture golf) and the kids had a great time. Nothing fancy, just some mini golf, pizza (from bowling alley) and we brought in our own cupcakes. The staff here were very cool and extremely helpful. Rich (during the party) and Mindy (when making the reservation) were very helpful and patient with me. Big thanks!

steven welch

Fun holes with creative hazards. Good for all ages; however, there didn't seem to be accomodations for wheelchairs or special needs folks.

Robin Reinhart

Grandsons birthday party was amazing! 20+ kids bowling and having so much fun and togetherness!! Couldnt have asked for a better experience. If you haven't had their pizza.....you are missing out!

david mccleary

Old Orchard has the best thin crust pizza in central Illinois and possibly the whole state. Shoot fire maybe the Midwest. They have a very friendly and efficient staff that just keeps getting it right. Whether you want to bowl, put put golf, enjoy a cocktail with friends it's the best

STEVEN EDENFIELD

It's a nice place to meet friends for bowling, or food. The lanes are very nice, and the food is delicious (especially the pizza). The staff is very friendly and helpful. They have hired locally for years, helping young people with job opportunities.

Jeania Hardin

Came in with 6 kids, group of 14. Was treated awesome. Pizza was top notch. Beer flowed. Great staff. Oh yeah, we bowled too.

Anna Martins

Great

Jeff Wenger

Good place for a quiet round of knocking pins over...

Thomas Bailey

Jasper Abon

Usally have a great experience here and have spent alot of money here but tonight was terrible. Was a really busy night and there could only be 5 per lane (ok understood) the kids were entering their names and we had 2 toddlers who wanted their names added. the RUDE guy at the counter came up to us and told us we couldn’t have 7 players on the screen. we said ok and started to correct it. he started yelling at us and started giving us a hard time. Will definitely not be coming back

Harold and Laura Smith

Our monthly union meetings are held here. We always have pizza, they make it themselves and it's delicious. The staff is friendly and helpful. We've only bowled there once but it was fun. Very nice facility.

Jonathan Kim

Good pizza. Probably best bowling place in town. Liked auto guard rail feature

Ryan Reed

Tried for lunch on a Saturday. Bad idea. Kids day for bowling. Bummer. Still have great pizza. Maybe leave some room for outsiders. Idk

Tymothé Willis

Good food at a bowling alley? Who would have thought? Some of the best pizza I had had. Wings were meaty and not slathered in sauce. I haven't bowled in years but when I took the grand kids there they had a blast, and I could enjoy a beer and we all had pizza!

Dawn M

It is still cool seeing putt putt golf around. We went on our anniversary recently and had a great time.

Brad Markello

Nice family place

autumn H

Best thin crust pizza in town

Broc Nelson

Ok food. Didn't bowl.

Chad Gabriel

Super laid-back staff. Bar is kinda outdated, but is a fun place. Always seems busy, however in a good way.

Sa Louie Official Page

I have mixed emotions about this place depending on who’s working they may not be racist that day. I believe the owners of that place is racists and cruel. Me and my fellow young adults were coming in to play and they automatically believe we were there just to sit and goof around. But when they just have there workers just working everything is fine and nice.

Upgradetester

Good place to bowl. There was a decent crowd of people here and even tho it was busy , we didn't need to wait long for a lane to open. It was a little inconvenient that there were other people sitting at the table and chairs right by our lane. We had to stand for alot of the time till they left.

Benjamin Khachaturian

My family has been going to Old Orchard Lanes for over thirty years. We really enjoy going. I appreciate their pricing. Old Orchard gives quality bowling. Very good facility. Pretty clean. Service is good. I feel that some workers are distracted from their jobs. The appeal is very good because of their pricing and facility. I love bowling and I can tell that the workers do too. I enjoy going there with my uncle because he went there as a kid. Thanks to old orchard for classic enjoyment of bowling. :)

Eliza Bethany

Fun!

Kristine K

Been coming here since I was a kid, now I bring my granddaughters when in town. Always a lot of fun. Their free games for kids in the summer is a fantastic way to spend time together and build game skills.

Joel Weidinger

best thin crust pizza around. Italian beef sandwich is good too.

William Billman

Great pizza specials and bowling is fun and inexpensive.

Rhonda

Best pizza in town, and such a bargain!

Justin Cross

Best Pizza in town! Great prices, great beer selection, nice patio and the staff is the best.

Bald Eagle

This review is strictly for the dated and unclean links portion of "Lanes & Links". If I was an employee there I'd figure I'd have really 2 jobs to do- Attend patrons & clean. Looking at the course and equipment, I can safely say 50% of the work is getting done. In addition, the outdoor course is in disrepair and isn't regularly cleaned. Their course prices aren't posted (although beer prices are) so they can charge you anything they want to play. This could be a decent place to play if the equipment, course, and services were maintained. On a personal note I have a hard time taking my kids into a "family" establishment where it seems their priorities are more on beer and gambling sales which is why my business there is often limited to the much higher rated Lanes/restaurant portion of the business. Great pizza and lanes are the best in town

Andrew Gilliland

Been going since i was a kid. No place better. The pizza is superb.

Brad LaPayne

Great food, great service. Had a fresh salad with grilled tenderloin and french fries!

John Moore

Great pizza and service!!! Well maintained bowling lanes too. Worth going to again.

Jemal Dodd

We had lots fun to today. The people that worked there was really nice and helpful.

Jim Catlin

Great pizza. Took forever for the pizza to arrive. We overheard bartender telling someone that one of the pizza ovens was broken. Didn't tell all customers, just the regulars. Should have announced this to everyone and comped some of the cost to all others that waited long periods for their order.

Evan Kelsick

Probably the best bowling alley in town. It can be hard to find the right ball on a Saturday night, but that is to be expected. Good fun at good prices. Would go again and would recommend.

Terry Bialeschki

Busey place! Decent service Great Pizza !

Aaron Stocks

Have played mini golf here at least 20 times
