Our lane kept getting stuck. I took my children for a Sunday Funday of unlimited bowling but our lane kept freezing after about the 6th time we just left. On the plus side the manager did offer us a couple of free games on our next visit

Good place to unwind and have fun

Devon Inge

This bowling alley has plenty of lanes and they do support parties. Kid friendly and good music is played at all times. This place can get packed but that just adds to the environment.

Nicole Harrell

Sad couldn't play but very good place to bowl

Angela Harvin

My grandchildren and I love it. ❤️❤️

Steph Bo

Had a great time. The balls kept getting stuck at the end of the lane and would not return without assistance. But other than that the facility is nice. The staff was friendly and funny.

sean parker

Great neighborhood bowling alley for the serious league style bowler!!!

Joe Martinez-Williams

Long line to pay, but it moved rather quickly. Music was not terrible and was kinda old. It was danceable though. $24 and some change for 3 games and shoes; so not too expensive. Some people may be put off by the crowd as it was primarily black folk up in there

Donna Barr

Was hang out with my 3rd generation granddaughter . Wonderful

Regina Hockaday

The food was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS... When got it. The wait was CRAZY .. Especially for a Saturday night that was as empty as it was. I was part of a party of about 30.... The reservation was made weeks ago and they had 1 server servicing 3 tables... By HERSELF! Trays were dropped... Orders were missed. It took over an hour just to get water... Longer than that for tea. I got my soup when we were ready to go...got it in a to-go cup. Another member at my table NEVER DID get her food even after asking several times. Our poor server was very sweet, but frazzled. I blame management .. smh.

Troywade DeVese

This bowling alley makes great accommodations for people with disabilities, so they can lives normal lives like everyone.

Grody DaGrimy1

Great family environment

Five Armsteads

Apparently their system doesn't recognize out-of-state league card holders.

Charnese Graham

Extremely crowded, no lanes available during non league hours to the general public, unless you are a league member or are in a league, u will be waiting for 2 hours or more for lanes in and on the evening weekend hours

Bonita Wilson

Need to update score machines

Steven Holiday

Good place but need to make the place look better.

Nevaeh Bright

D. Hazer

Family and friends makes almost anyplace fun. The staff here was pleasant and helpful. Overall great experience.

Anthony Minnis

Great lanes.

Shameka S

Nice bowling alley. Way better than what i expected. The soda machine behind the counter was not working and they were using off brand sofa and juice for name brand price. If that's fixed, a good place to bowl

kendrick Duncan

Great place

Tyrone Harvey

Always helpful love it

Alonzo Jones

Nice house to bowl in or join a league

the truth g20

Little run down staff was horrible

beth peralta-reed

Bowling is fun. Part of that fun is renting shoes that are a little rough around the edges (falling apart) and slightly uncomfortable. Wear thick socks for cusion. This isn't the fanciest of bowling alleys but that is why I liked it. The lanes are well maintained and the balls are well organized. I would go again.

Michael Butler

Lanes are well kept.

Gio Como

38 bowling league. It even has handicap accessible lanes. Snack bar menu has large variety of snacking food. Even late on a Saturday night there are quite a few open lanes.

JUDAH KELLY GRAHAM

For date night decided to take my wife bowling. Had a great time the place was packed which was a good sign. I was pleasantly surprised at the atmosphere after reading some of the other comments and knowing the area. This place was a lot of fun saw a lot of families out together which is awesome. Food was quite tasty especially for being in a bowling alley. Can't wait to go back with some friends. Great fun great food Date night was a success.

Bruce Jones

The bowling alley was renovated recently. nice atmosphere and lanes. Service was good.

Ramona Kiah

Had a lovely time with my family, Very nice atmosphere!

Gerald Ferguson

Been going to this alley for over 25 years strong and it's still standing and the food has been excellent!!!!!

Wendell Seace

This place was "just okay", in my opinion. Went here for a party. After having pre-paid for everything via one of their party packages, they were 35 minutes late making our lanes available and getting us set up. So we stood around with nothing to do for that time. They did give us the time on the back end, but honestly I don't think it was worth the money we were charged. The food was typical bowling alley food (pizza, chicken wings, etc.). The chicken wasn't good. The lanes are okay, but the equipment needs an upgrade. Ball returns are slow and the furniture is uncomfortable. I wouldn't recommend having a party there, but if you just want to bowl, it's okay. Nothing to write home about.

Trevor Nellenbach

Outdated, overpriced, but yet still fun. Wasn't too busy on a Sunday early afternoon.

Brittany Smith

Just had my son’s 4th Birthday Party here. It was really great. Music was fun an appropriate for the kids (even though it was on the later side 7-9:30pm) The manager who was an older white lady(sorry wish I knew her name) was very helpful! She made sure we had everything we needed and continued to check on us throughout the party. I was worried there wouldn’t be enough food in the package I purchased but there was Plenty. The FOOD WAS GREAT. Didn’t taste like “bowling alley food” at all. They sent up the tables and cleaned up the party for me. Well worth the money I paid.

Sherry Mack

Love this location b/c of how well kept it is! For that alone they need 4 stars and up. But the over abundance of league play has turned of away more times than not. The ONLY reason this last adventure was worth the 1hr and 45 min. wait was b/c we were attending a birthday party and my daughter was too young to participate with the older birthday crew. So i asked for another lane so she could bowl. She waited patiently but didn't forget what mommy promised her so i had to stick it out. After all that waiting we got 1 game in b/c it was darn near 8:30pm by the time we got a lane. Mind you we, came at 6 :30 for a birthday party that started at 6! We will probably pass on this location. It was bad enough the closed the AMF in VA by kingstowne square a fews year back. Now its a shame the Parkland bowling alley down the street from forestville mall shut down recently too. We will have to travel alil father from now on.

Tony

Two times we arrived and can not bowl because of "League Bowling." So my five year old who has been asking to bowl for the first time in her life can not bowl because League Bowling that is everyday. Why on earth is League Bowling everyday? They reserve the lanes for hours and no one is in there. BS to all AMF bowling alleys that does't reserve lanes for common folk. Best time the clerk said to come in during work hours. Horrible experience

waverly Hawkins

Use the summer pass $48 Bowl 3 games everyday very pleasant experience

WHIP

Nice place to go to don't care what people say

Jason Adams

Everyone was friendly and the atmosphere was great

deborah wallace

Friendly and no drama

Tyler Vaughn

Great place to bowl.

Melvin Smith

Great

Jessica Clark

Very well kept and accessible restaurant. They serve large meals and for inexpensive rates. We liked the food very much and the waiters were super friendly and chatty. I recommend this place.

Eldorado Anderson

To no fault of the employees, the lanes malfunction more than any other house in the area. You have to always wipe the dirt and sand off of your feet before you bowl because you may slip. The ATM machine NEVER works. The only thing pleasant about this place is the hard working staff and the bowlers who make the most out of our time there. This place needs a major face lift before bowlers and leagues go elsewhere.

laurrita spriggs

Excellent service, very clean,family friendly atmosphere. Thanks you for the service and the good times.

The William Legend

Staff DOESNT know how to ID people. Definitely won't be coming back.

Michelle Caple

I did not go bowling.

Aparna S

Very nice had fun.

Wesley Holmes

Great place

C Proctor

Bowling is fun but the grill service is sucks. Bowlers orders should be taken immediately, not after the waiter finishes cooking another order. Hire more help or someone who is not ignorant to service.

Alonzo Richardson

They got a deal where you can bowl as many games as you want for two hours for $8. (I think it's $8 you want to Google it.)

Tosin Akinduro

Fun...

Brae Walker

Great place to bowl the family had fun and the workers were great.

Kendra Anding

IReally enjoyed the music and the staff was very professional.

Tyrone Best

Staff is great! Excellent customer service and patience. Food is delicious even though it's a bit high in price. Lanes are conditioned with very minimum issues.

Barbara Jones

Bowl there every Friday and lanes are lousy

Monique Bell

Good wings! Nice people!

Kenya Raymond

Great service!! My party host was excellent. Nothing bad to say about this establishment

Extra NBA

The ONLY reason why this gets a three stars for me is because it's more of a professional/league bowling alley (which I do bowl competitively) but it has started to branch out to the more family friendly audience, but if they can find a balance of family friendly and league I will give it five stars (otherwise its a great ally with great food and staff)

Charlene Marsh

Had a "ball!

****Interim Review: I visited this location for the first time very recently in 2019. I briefly chatted with one of the managers and I introduced myself as a Google Local Guide (GLG). The Manager was very nice and I was pleasantly surprised at how festive/fun the atmosphere/vibe was/is even in the morning. I advised the Manager that I would return asap to bowl and eat. I will update this Review and Rating asap after my next visit.

Kirk Eller

Tiffanne May

Machines weren't working properly which was frustrating but the manager helped us right away when he noticed we were having issues, which was great. He apologized and explained that they were about to undergo renovations. The staff was pleasant as well no issues with customer service. Just the equipment.

GREAT EXPERIENCE!! We reserved 4 lanes for a work party along with catering and from beginning to end everything was awesome. The staff were VERY friendly, accommodating, professional and the food was really great! I wish I would have gotten a few names of the employees we interacted with so I could recognize them and recommend them... Either way,. EVERYONE was on point and I highly recommend!
