Reviews of Madison Bowl (Bowling Alley)

Kaden Cranfill

Very fun bowling experience. I went with friends and we stayed till they closed. The food was ok but they have good pizza. Has Pepsi products

Micki Wright

Love, love, love this place. Went in for lunch and came back later for drinks. Bartender's were super friendly, food is great. And they have $1 beers all the time!

Jen Turnmyre

Grew up in this place. It's like a time warp everytime I go. Good prices and good food. The burgers are some of the best in town. Cheap drinks and always a fun time

Jade Myers

I love this it's wonderful to have fun with others and clean bowling alley and bowling balls stafd we're helpful and respect. Can't wait to go back.

Bayyinah Edwards

It smells like an old house with old carpet.. Its reasonably inexpensive and family oriented.. They do have a bar and a small diner, that's supposedly has a very good breakfast

Robert C.

The diner inside has the best food in the city, by far! The pancakes, especially!

MJ C

Best bowling alley and bowling alley bar in the Tri-State.

Carlo Vitela

Had a fun time here. The food was good and the atmosphere was great. The balls are not in good shape but if you are a serious bowler you probably have your own. Overall it's a pretty good alley to take the family or meet up with friends.

Alex Williams

Good atmosphere here, and good drink deals, but the bowling experience was not great. The bowling balls kept getting stuck down at the end of the lanes and it took awhile to get it back up and running each time. Besides the questionable bowling experience, if you want a place to get some cheap drinks and have a good time with friends, you should give this place a shot.

John Thomas

A friend of mine recommended the burgers here. I went and really enjoyed the great service and food it was perfect for my business lunch that day

Steve Evans

Love Madison bowl great bar

ROBERT TAKAC

Nice lanes. The lane attendant is all business - don’t kid around with him.

John Carter

Its was ok but i don't like the balls there

Kevin Evans

Great bowling alley. Retro and fun style, the bar lounge area is totally locked in the late 50's style. Staff is super friendly. The cafe they have has wonderful food. Burgers, wings kind of food. Always a fun time. The lanes are oiled well for nice action. My favorite alley in the area.

Hedwig Schlott

Madison bowl is inexpensive and clean, with accommodations for kids (bumpers, slides for the littlest kids to roll balls down). I didn’t try the food but they appear to have an reasonable beer list. A good place for a quick trip with the family.

Tony Bell

Old but not too bad. Had a nice time with our group. The staff was very accommodating.

Lo Lo

Can't wait to come back!

Gertrude Elliottio

Love it. Managers are very kind. Lots of loving people.

Lisa Hinkston

This Bowling alley Needs a Serious Facelift, Upgrade and just simply some TLC! In years passing it use to be the Place to go for "State of the Art" Electronic Bowling experience and a great time with Family and friends ! SOMEONE has chose to let this place go and it's sad!! Please Please let us Honor this Place by giving it the Love and Respect it Deserves by making it beautiful again! There have been some great bowlers that have graced this Pin house!!!

Richard Buerger

Old school ambience and charm. Great diner and vintage pinball machines. Love the old miniature bowling machine.

Samad Green

Chuck and Mike didn't oil the lanes.

Robert Schustet

Great place

Charity Hardman

The staff there are the Best! Even if you don't bowl you should try there Burgers. The rest of the food is good too. The burgers are my favorite.

Stephanie Bohannon

Dirty. Rude. Hot. Sticky. Ugh. 10/10 would not recommend.

Jessica Williams

Good food. Staff friendly. Fun atmosphere.

Steve Lutkenhoff Jr

Decent bowling alley and bar

Matthew Harkins

Always a wonderful place.

Jeremy Shannon

Read the reviews, decided to give it a try. Very friendly service. We ordered the Buzz burger and it was okay, but I believe there is a bigger burger that is the main draw. Was good, just not five stars. Will probably try again.

Miranda Dennis

Loads of fun!!

Steve Smith

AMAZING staff. I live pretty far and had a Groupon so it was my first time there. The alley itself was average compared to others. Wasn't super updated or anything. But the staff more than made up for that. Very friendly at the front counter and helpful. Very friendly staff at the restaurant and I will go back there just for the food. The burgers were amazing. Also, my daughter is two and kept getting her ball stuck in the gutter and the gentleman that had to keep getting it was very friendly about it. Not once did he make us feel like he was getting frustrated or annoyed and kept telling us it was fine, that's what he's there for. If you can still get the Groupon deal, buy as many as you can because it was well worth every penny.

M Martin

Always fun

Madeleine Creech

I'm on the Seven Hills bowling team, and this is our home alley. The staff is always incredibly helpful and kind, and the food here is fantastic. This may be biased, but out of all the alleys I've been to (which is quite a few), Madison Bowl has by far the best overall atmosphere.

Thomas Beverly

Very good food

Terelle Scott

Angela Gary

I enjoy the services pius we didn't have to set the table up plus they greet us with s smile

Brian DeHaven

My family and I love going to Madison Bowl. Kid friendly, family friendly. The staff is awesome and the food is good. It's an older bowling alley but clean and well kept.

the mom and son Channel

the big burger combo is the best burger around. loved it and friendly staff as well

Luke P

Reasonably-priced and open pretty much all the time. It's definitely a strange place with lots of amusing people-watching, but all in all it's a good Friday night hangout for a date or group. The kitchen is open until 10 and equally unusual.

sharon norman

Ok we go to Madisn bowl every Friday, no matter the weather.It's a good activity to do when you have nothing to do.

Caitlin Burke

We wanted to go bowling for a work event, so we called up Madison Bowl. They were very easy to work with and reserved a bunch of lanes for us. You can bring pizza in, but they have a really good grill and bar there. Nothing fancy, but it's good quality bowling.

Pat gundy

The best rolling in the city. Hands down. Tried the new place in Milford and left after they said the price.

Jennifer Bradley

If you ever come to the diner, try the pancakes. Never cared much for pancakes until I've had theirs. Perfect crunch on the outside, deliciously soft inside. Madison diner's homemade breakfast goes perfect with early morning weekend bowling with family!

Jerry Legend

One of the timeless spots in an area constantly changing. Make sure to reserve a spot early on the weekend because it gets very busy. Always a popular nighttime place.

Conor Savage

Good food, had to wait about 10 minutes for a lane on a busy Saturday night. Good food, bowling was $22 for 2 games and shoes for 2 people. Shoes did not smell like a decomposed corpse so that's always good...5 stars for a well run bowling alley

Trisha Huertos

Pictures are very deceiving. It's not vintage, it's just old and outdated. Would not recommend.

Jay The Happy Chef woosley

Fun historical landmark. Great bowling good food cold beer they cater to the senior citizens and that is cool. See ya soon

Homie Fresh

Great place to bowl day or night

Anita Canada

Own has very nasty behavior to black people

Downtown Scholl

Reasonable price.

Theresa Lyons

Picked up lunch. Great food, nice people.

Linda McKenzie

We had a great time bowling. It was a great Groupon deal-bowling & dinner. Awesome!

Dan Snow

Decent bowling alley. Can be hard to find a variety of balls here during peak hours. Shoes seemed new. Our Lane kept flaking the 2 hours we were there. Not enough to cause an issue, but very annoying. Staff seemed nice, plenty of parking.

Madison Landsness

Awesome bowling ally. Good prices on shoes and lanes. I had been going here in the winter once a week. Five dollar beer buckets are a plus.

Ayat Bell

It's older now but the party rooms are good for small parties

Tiger T

Some employees can be more friendly needs. Work on cistomer service

Charmagne Mcknight

Love this place love the food

Tasha Morrow

We had a awesome time!

C Schumacher

Great place to gather with friends for some of America's REAL favorite past time!

David Burwinkel

Their daily specials are apparently null and void based on if enough people walk in the door. We went there Dec. 27 and they decided the holiday crowd justified cancelling their promotions.

rochelle walton

Family fun

William Morgan III

Love this house, it's my 2nd home!!!

Dominique Solomon

ALWAYS a great time. LOVE the food!!

Erica K Gates

The best bowling alley around. We go for a few games and cheap drinks. Our go to date night! :)

Mike Disher

Great bowling alley, open 24 hours on the weekends. The leagues are fun, and the lanes are in generally good condition. The are a little on the expensive side for per game cost if you're not doing a league or function.

Sherrie Broadus

I really enjoy going to Madison bowl. Very friendly atmosphere.

Catriel Yisrael

Very busy on a Saturday night!

Lufa's Assistant

Wonderful spot to go bowling and grab beers with friends. I can't bowl for sh**but it's still a blast.

Ray Cheselka

This bowling alley is like stepping into a different era. Most of the interior seems like it hasn't been updated for decades, but the lanes are nice, shoes are newer, and the food is surprisingly good (get the chicken wings with carolina gold sauce!!) If you want to bowl, this is a good spot.

David R Chapdelaine

Took my son here for a daddy-date. Glad to find it was non-smoking, and the deal of the month was excellent. Shoes were included (I think) and they had a good selection of bowling balls for us. Fun environment and has that old-school bowling alley feel.

Mark Marketing

Great food to be found here! This is a must stop for breakfast and lunch!

travares bass

Great food and classic bowling alley atmisphere

Patrick Carrico

Christ it's perfect.

Justin Masterson

Amazing original bowling alley with all of the old-time charm. Almost nothing updated (which is a good thing), except for scoring computers. Super friendly staff, great retro bar, fantastic 60's-style diner cafe with homemade food. Retro pinball machines and some arcade games. Truly a magnificent step back in time, wonderfully maintained.

michael paddy

Its always a great place to kick back with friends.food is pretty good.

James Magrish

Nice establishment, friendly staff, bowling equipment pretty good.

Carrie Roberts

I have enjoyed this place for more than 50 years; bowling, good food, and friendly atmosphere!

Mike Duffy

Great place to bowl. Best cheeseburger for the money, anywhere.

Sheryl Drummond

Time for remodling. Asap

Ben and Melissa Linser

The hours are amazing. The bar and snack bar are retro and ideal. Burgers, Coneys and breakfast are terrific.

Hhans fav Hans

Nice place for bowling and i like their snacks too spl onion rings.

Ryan Mcaleer

We had a great time. First time taking the family bowling. I had to drag the boys out they had so much fun. The food was surprisingly good. My boys are picky eaters and they had no problem finding something to eat. Dollar beers for the adults.

lawrence twitty

Brad Nice the counter person was friendly and accommodating.

Niels McEvoy

Classic 50's alley, not restyled but authentic. Almost like walking into a movie. Lot's of lanes and great simple sandwiches. Try the egg salad.

Leonard Lunsford

Very good.

Miller Cell Beckham, Jr

It was a group event that was nice going to repeat it again before the bowling deal is over.....

John Blunt

Hey.... It's pretty good, an old fashioned Bolling alley

Kyle Rogers

Susan Key

Love this place!! A classic bowling alley with a GREAT diner and cocktail bar to boot!!

Walter Stegall

Bowled in the city tournament today team part of the tournament. We all bowled pretty good. Shout out to Bill zacharitz who shot a 290 his 2nd game.

Caryn Williams

Always a great place!

Christopher Tape

Had fun. Reasonable prices

Sean Grossman

Great burgers! Bar area is kind of gross though, so I'd say just go to the little restaurant outside of it. Good prices on bowling and a lot of fun!

Brandon Grant

Bowled in a tournament, nice people and good lanes.. wouldn't mind coming back again.

Natwana Pace

I visited from out of town and had so much fun! The music was upbeat throughout the entire night, kids and adults were there having a good time, there was a bar and staff was super friendly!

Edward Scott

A cool, old style bowling alley with great food and well maintained lanes. The staff can be a bit curt, but I never let that affect my day.

Patrick Patterson

Good place to bowl and good service

Jr Thornton

Live this place. Foos is great, so is service. Friendly people and patrons. Bar is good and great prices.

Jarrod Hart

Solid place. Little divey*

Ayesha Benton

If you planning on going on a friday or saturday, go early in the day otherwise you will be waiting hours on these nights

Cheryl Bickel

Very nice bowling alley. I used a Groupon when I went that included bowling, shoes, food and drink. Kids loved it!

James Fain

They are nice here, and it is fun.

Branding Gladiator

I love the old school vibe. It reminds me of going to the bowling alley for school field trips as a kid. I hope they never update this place. Most recently I joined a few friends for a quick afternoon Saturday bowling session. The price was just as vintage... for 3 games and shoe rental was only $12 total.

batman batman

Great place to bowl and eat

Chelsea Smith

You have awesome time on bowling they food drinks and playing another games inside

Matt Dennler

I was actually across the street at an appointment but I'm sure Madison Bowl is fine

Melissa Gills

Great bartender! Jason Dean makes the visit worthwhile!

Brandon Taylor

It’s pretty dated, the pins sometimes get knocked over when they are being set. But the worst thing is the bar. Omg the bar is horrendous. The bartenders don’t know how to make anything outside of a basic drink, they advertised lemon drops on a sign and the bartender didn’t know how to make it. Then said they were out. A mixed drink is 6 bucks and served in a super tiny cup, and they don’t have freakin Red Bull! Who doesn’t have Red Bull these days?? Instead they have Monster...on tap. If the bar was halfway decent I would give it more stars.

George Dickey

Had a good time with friends this evening. I could not bow, but enjoyed needling my friends. Facilities are nice and the atmosphere was good.

Danielle Perry

Their little diner has delicious food!

MsMary Harrison

Best long Iand ever

Joseph Beinke

Great time at good price

John Haskamp

Big Burger - as good as ANY anywhere - great burger & fries

Edward goss

Had a great time

Paul Findley

Great food the menu is awesome!

Rachael Diane

Fun. Couldn't get two lanes due to lack in party size (4) and a reservation not lacking in numbers (20-30). Would have liked renting one Lane for adults and another for the kids…que sera. Maybe next time if'n it's slower?

Cynthia Lanning

We have work team outings here from time to time and love this place. It is fun and relaxing and all the staff are super nice. The food at the diner is amazing.

LC Cicchinelli

It is a no fun zone because you’re not allowed to run around but it is super fun bowling

Brandon Brown

They have their league night on Fridays, which is weird to me. It ends after 9 and apparently is open 24 hours. Good place to bowl and it has some cheap drinks.

michael Ball

It great place to go bowl and have fun with friends and family
