We've got the feddbacks of people who consumed the services and products of Parkside Lanes (Bowling Alley) near to the state of Indiana.
At this moment the firm has a score of 4.4 out of 5 and that score was based on 327 reviews.
You must have seen that it reaches an reviews average is really high, and it is based on a very high number of scores, so we may think that the rating is quite accurate. If there are many people who bothered to give their review when they've done well with the business, it works.
You know that we do not usually bother to give reviews when these are positive and we usually do it only if we have had a problem or incidence...
This Bowling Alley is classified in the category of Bowling alley.
One of my favorite houses to bowl at. All the staff are friendly, and the lanes are well kept. There’s definitely a reason that the PBA loves this bowling center so much!
Expensive food and too crowded
Cleanest bowling alley I've ever seen !
bowling
Reasonable prices. Complimentary bowling balls available. Lanes are in good condition. Accurate automatic scoring. Bumpers and lightweight balls available for kids.
Fun place on Saturday night.
Loved the atmosphere
Always my families go to place!!!
Went there 2 weeks ago on a Friday. $1.50 a game, and hardly any lanes available. All kinds of kids and families. Figured it would be our Friday night family activity. Went there last night (Friday) and there were PLENTY of lanes. I rolled up to the counter and said 6 games and a pair of shoes. She says 29 dollars!?!?!? When I mentioned the previous Friday she said well not anymore. Because leagues have started. So you have guaranteed money coming in from the leagues, AND you almost quadrupled the price. No wonder there were so many empty lanes. It is very sad that those of us from aurora. Who want to keep our money in our town have to put up with this bait and switch mentality. I will GLADY give my money to funway. Which has better and newer facilities.
Love bowling here
Nice ally.
Very reasonable price on bowling games!
Still a great hang out and great bowling alley.
I know that bowling alley's aren't typically the nicest places in the world, but this place is an absolute dump, in my opinion. The customer service was horrible, the food nasty, the drinks flat and watered down. There are other alley's around that are far nicer then this place- I felt like I needed a shower after I left! Sadly, that's not even the worst part! The General Manager, Kurt, happened to overhear a conversation I was having with a friend about politics and the President. I made comments in support of the President and he proceeded to tell me that I was "anti-American", " a real lefty looney tune" and that my beliefs may be harmful to our Country. Needless to say, we walked right out. Unless you want to spend your hard earned money at an establishment where management thinks your anti-American for making comments in support of the President, and at a place that is a dump to begin with, then this is the place for you!
It is a every good place to go to. If you are looking for a dry backend that is the place to go to
Amazing place
Fun, drama free bowling. Old school feel. Good bar and little diner inside. Arcade and pool tables as well. Lots of lanes.
Went for the New Years eve party. Bowl ed had pizza and won Bulls tickets.
My friends and I have been there twice before on had a pleasant bowling experience, the place is typically very empty after 10pm.
Friendly staff.
Like this place a lot
They had no caulk or the right size ball.
Price cannot be beat but the ambience can be a lot better. Other areas could use some renovation too.
We had a very good experience oil pattern was a little bit different this time we were here.
Typical bowling center, lanes are ok, service is ok, food is decent and edible, drinks are cold.
Everything went well with bowling, lanes seemed in good condition. The employees were nice enough to let us finish our last few frames after closing, and were all very nice and helpful. The pizza was the highlight though. I would go there just for their pizza, as I saw a few people doing late on a Sunday night.
While some parts of the experience are less than satisfactory (the food/drinks mainly) the establishment as a whole actually has a very small town and friendly environment. The staff there are considerate and decent people, the pro shop is serviced by a kind and experienced bowler, not to mention that the alley is home to the great PBA Pro Sean Rash. Occasionally it can get a full, as they have leagues almost every night starting at 6 pm, but if you know the schedules and time your visits accordingly, you will have no trouble getting a lane or two to bowl on. Those who write negative reviews on the place have obviously only tried it once or twice, and have not yet experienced how friendly and fun the alley can be. All in all, 4 out of 5. Not the best, but far from what others think.
I'm a common customer, and have been for many years! I absolutely love the staff and employees! I want to give special appreciation to Dan, Amanda, and Marcia. Very great establishment, with a great atmosphere!
Love this place! Classic bowling ally, incredible staff and amazing fun!
Visit my son bowling in a league. Left early a but chilly in there.
The pizza was fabulous
Fun for the whole family.
After 9pm Mon-Wed they have $1.50 bowling and shoe rental until 11pm. Always a great place to go for some inexpensive fun!
This place serves beer and good appetizers. Has a pool table too.
Great place, good lanes and well managed and friendly staff. Great food at Tiffany's. Sara will make your food quickly, depending on orders in front of yours, but with love. They got good pizza, and yes there is a bar. Highly recommended..
Nice place to have fun at night time with friends
Great bowling alley for family and friends. Just call ahead of time due to the many bowling leagues taking place on the weekend.
I Like the place.
PROS: They have a lot of lanes. The lanes were clean and functioning perfectly. Nice seating area. CONS: No lane service you have to go to the bar for every drink. If you buy a pitcher of beer they will only give you two glasses and every person must show ID every time you get a pitcher of beer. This could be resolved by having them come to the lane.
Almost bowled a 300 best customer service
Great place for a child birthday
Had a good time bowling
Halloween
Pretty fun but the animations for when you get consecutive strikes are pretty outdated
Staff are (mostly) friendly, and the place usually isn't packed unless you come during tournaments. It's clean and very fun! Prices are okay, too!
Nice bowling alley for family and a date night just call when going into weekends for leagues are there. Open bowling afterwards.
Lots of lanes, modern, good prices!
Nice place
A really nice bowling alley! Even though we went on a league night, we were able to get a lane after a short wait. Pizza at Tiffany's was really good!
Good place to bowl and the counter staff was great
Horrible! It says online 9pm to 11pm all you can bowl and we get there lady tells me oh sorry "I wish someone would have changed that" in her sarcastic voice...
I love this place, familiar environment and affordable prices! You can get good food, drinks and have a great time with friends and family. It is one of the best one!! :) :) :)
Great atmosphere, poor lane maintenance. Always something different every week
We are in a winter league and enjoy everyone
Pretty fun
Great! Excellent atmosphere nice place to stop in and chill.
Excellent spot. I habent been here since 20 years ago and there still as friendly as i remebered them... now mu kids know where i hanged out as a kid. Lol. . Thanks guys happy new year.... FROM MIAMI!!
$27 for a bucket of beer. Ouuuuch. Otherwise it was a lot of fun!
It is a good place to get fun but it is kind of old so it seems that some maintenance is necessary
My daughter took me bowling for my birthday...my granddaughters who are 9&10 went as well...we paid almost $45.00 for the 4 of us to play...we were having a nice time until our lane kept messing up...we called for service several times and the guy at the counter answered but no one came to help...so after 10 minutes I went up to the counter to ask for help for the second time...the guy who was supposed to help us slowly sauntered over to our lane to fix the problem with the lane. We had several situations with the lane and partway through the next game the lane just shut down. I became disgusted at that point and asked a worker if we could get a partial refund because of all the problems...we were given tickets for a future visit for 8 free games...I appreciate the gesture and effort to right the wrong but the workers there seemed to care less about the customer...very disappointing watching these guys lazily walking around while we sat and waited for help time and time again...maybe they bring in enough money to the point of customer service not being their number one priority...so sad...Parkside was the " Happening,bustling place" back in the day... who knows now???
The nicest BOWLING CENTER In the state well run & promotes a WONDERFUL experience !!!
Nice community. League worthy lanes. Much better to bowl here vs some chain bowling just for fun place. You can recognize the difference in lane quality. Prices are very reasonable. Could use some upgrades for sure as it’s aged a bit.
Standard bowling alley. Nothing of note to really mention. It's an older place, little run down, but decent if you're looking for bowling in the area.
Its our weekend play ground
Love this bowling alley! Everyone is very friendly and attentive. Nice lanes too!
Great family fun
Kinda bad food imo but I mean you can bowl and play pool at least
Good lanes and clean place but if you want to bowl for fun, good luck getting a lane. We get turned down nearly every time we visit. As my wife and I are too busy during the daytime in the week. If you don't book a birthday party or you are part of a league they don't care about your business.
Had a great night!!!
Very nice staff always freindly, yhe gaming machines are very tight
Very courteous staff and excellent customer service.
Bowled here since I was a little kid, could use some updating but I love this place. Lots of lanes.
Nice place. Didn't bowl our last game and they even gave us a coupon type thing to get another free game later!
Love going here with the family when we're in town. Always seems family friendly
Ok don't always have the drinks you want.
I love being able to play pool and it it's a veteran friendly establishment!
Very nice facility with 54 lanes. Good parking. Food is tasty and reasonably priced. Blue Moon on tap == Good
Fun
Average pricing. Clean establishment. Good pizza.
Called ahead, and was told they would be open until 5 PM Christmas Eve, showed up at 2:15 with family from out of town, and was told they're closing at 2:30. The man at the counter was unbelievably rude and temperamental. You've lost my business, thanks for nothing.
Good deals during the week and free parking.
Fast. Cheap. Homey!
What an awesome place to go bowling at!! I absolutely loved it
Bring your game to pro level lanes!
A little expensive as far as standard bowling alleys go (ie not big Brunswicks), still, it's clean, the TVs aren't huge or obtrusive like they're tending to get elsewhere, and the food is decent. Overall your standard bowling experience, nothing to write home about but no complaints either.
Super clean and nice
Parkside is a bowling establishment and as such you will find competitive leagues, pro shop ran by people who know what works, and a very good family environment.
Great pizza
Decent bowling alley.
Fun family night!
I have been to this bowling alley a couple of times. The people are nice but they never have any lanes for regular customers on Saturday's. There is a bowling league that take up all the lanes until 9pm. This is the biggest day of the week for family's. I work Monday Thur Friday and I try to spend quality time with my family on the weekends. I personally will never return to this place. I will just relocated my family to Brunswick Zone on the weekends.
Only been there a couple of times... I will go back. It's a good bowling alley, staff at the counter and the Bar we plesent and nice to talk to, Everything was fairly clean , and in good condition. Bar prices are reasonable / average. Haven't tried the restaurant, but it did smell and look appetizing. Lanes are wood and in fair / good condition. Haven't figured out there oil pattern completely, I'll have to update my review when I do. Will return/recommend
So.much.fun! An excellent way to spend time with family and friends of all ages.
Great place
It's a bowling alley... Lanes were in working order and tables were in good condition. Good beer on tap. Nice place.
Well maintained bowling alley. Games not so much.
We love Parkside! I have been coming here my whole life. The staff is always helpful, and the pizza is Good!!
Tons of fun
Best bowling center in Chicagoland. The owners actually care about their patrons.
I have been bowling there for 4 years I love it especially on Karaoke night....
Was here for a charity for daughter
good atmosphere, good prices. good food
The best quality bowling alley I've been to in the area
Good time good place to bring the kids
just got back with my kids this place was pretty cool and the price was really good try the pizza was also tasty I recommend it for a good time you could can come to this place
Dominic was outstanding...did a great job organizing the outing we did today. Hope you realize you have a good employee! Thumbs up!
Traditional bowling alley also has pool tables and a little arcade for the kids.
The bolling was great I just wish the place look better it was clean but they should get some light or something
Love this place ,not only is their pizza good but their pool table fee is way cheaper and better then any other place
Amy is the best bar waitress and makes the experience great
Friendly staff just, good prices on bowling/food/drinks just wish they would play better music to set a better vibe.
A great place for bowling with friends and pizza.
Bowling Is A Lot Of Fun
Love the service and atmosphere
Clean facilities and friendly staff. Family friendly.
The place itself is a nice and old fashioned. But the staff is rude and make you feel like they hate their job.
Awesome lanes, great prices on sunday.
Popular place to spend times with friends. Decent food and good parking. I've never had any issues here.
cool chill spot to bowl and have some pizza
This large bowling alley is great for big groups and is reasonably priced. During the week we can always get lanes. Food is available for purchase (pizza, nachos, fries, etc). Alcoholic beverages are also available for purchase. Little kid bowling balls are available at the desk.
Great place to bowl.
Great fun place to bowl with friends.
Had a blast decent prices on sat but took forever to pay add games n bartenders chose who can get buckets by them selfs or ask for 2 people
They needed to fix the speakers last time i went but i had a good time.
Always a good time!
Great Pizza.
Good prices but rude staff, was told we couldnt get gutters because of age, ridiculous.
Great time and the pizza was wonderful
Alleys are great. Well lit and immaculate facility. The employees are friendly and knowledgeable.
Great place for bowling with the family, and a great opportunity for seniors to enjoy a league and have fun.
4.50 for one game and shoes after 9. Good food and good prices.
Had a really fun time! Great pizza!
