Reviews of Buffaloe Lanes Mebane Family Bowling Center (Bowling Alley)

Andrea R

Very nice arcade and a family friendly spot. Lanes are very clean. They should update their website on the days when the league's play so families know they can't bowl those hours.

This was my first time here in a while. My partner and I decided to bring my daughter for an evening of bowling. Shoe rental went fine. We went to order food and was told that the pizza that’s at the counter by the slice wasn’t available (this was at 4:00 pm. They close at 11. The pizza was in the display cabinet but I was told that it had already been claimed. So I still said I wanted to order a slice and was told they weren’t making any more for the evening. I went and spoke with the manager where they were dealing with another issue. One of their staff had given someone’s license away and were telling them that they could drive them to the license place but that’s all they could do. When I was speaking with the manager she told me that the bowling league was starting at 5 and maybe I could come to the dining area and eat instead of eating when I play. I can tell you without hesitation... I will never come back to this dump. Poor service. Poor amenities. Not worth the 5 minutes wasted driving here. Stay away from this trash hole!!!!

Great kid friendly bowling. Went here on a recent sat night with our 5 and 6 year old kids. The front staff was very friendly, explained the different packages that they offer, got us set with shoes quickly, and helped us save a few bucks by signing us up as members. One of the staff volunteered to find some light balls for the kids. The lanes have bumpers and you customize them at the computer menu at your lane who gets bumpers and who does not, which seemed like a nice feature. They also have ramps for kids. We ordered a pizza which took about 20 min and was delivered to our table. It tasted like most pizza that you get at bounce houses and similar places---that is good enough--and the kids scarfed it down. The facility was clean, seemed pretty new and everything worked well. Our package included arcade credits. Most of the games were modern and were $1 and up. They all worked properly. We enjoyed our visit and will go back.

Great atmosphere

We've had two visits with large groups. It is a nice family friendly place. They have plenty of food options and nice staff. When we were there, they were working on construction and I don't know what that will be. The staff was nice and patient for our group of 6 plus kids. They also have events there like trunk-or-treat. Very welcoming environment.

John Dietzman

Nice clean place, very kid friendly. Good clean fun for the family.

Marie Briggs

Needs new pool tables

G.W. Barker

It’s a bowling alley. Has an arcade. They have a kids summer program for a free game.

Old Skool Autoworks

Good arcade and bowling lanes, but the food is surprisingly excellent. Sometimes we will pop in just to grab a slice. Kids always have a good time and so do we.

Chris Imershein

Called in the afternoon and they said all lanes, open bowling tonight. Arrived to find out a large group had pre-reserved ALL the lanes for 3 hours. No bowling available. Will find another location in the future.

Flux

Awesome lanes, plenty of bowling balls, great arcade, and the staff if always very helpful.

James Overby

Love the the buffaloe lanes

Rachel Judd

A ton of fun!! Employees are super friendly and the food is great!

Christie Hall

Overall, it's a clean bowling alley. Employees are always nice and look for the best way for you to save money. I have tried pizza, hot dogs, fried pickles, and bacon and cheddar fries. Absolutely none of them were good and leave you wanting more food. The food is also way too expensive for what it is.

Ramy Botross

Nice and quiet. Family friendly atmosphere. They need to serve Beer to attract more business.

Angela Walker

Love it. We hold our monthly Avon meetings here

Joyce Denton

We always have fun there. Everyone is so great. Also, the pizza is SO good.

Rodney Hawkins

Had a great time with the family!

LaToya Carr

Great family fun and pretty good food too. Just don't go on league nite

Ben Pag

Well for one no one told us that the 29.99 deal 6 games 10 arcade points 2 shoe rentals. Had to be used all in one day. Your bumpers for it was broken. Then telling me I had to play the games all in one without any warning was bs. As I go to play a game in the arcade your machines are shoty and dont work properly. Cough cough your Skie ball game was broken. As I tried to play others many didnt work or poorly ran. I'm sorry but for 29 99 I might as well drive around and show the scenery. Terrible and I mean terrible place to bowl it was obvious the employee didnt know or yet warn me about what the obligations of getting that set would cost.

Kim Rose

Had a great time. They interacted well with my daughter and her friends. She said it was her best birthday party!

Emily Inman

Service staff in food cort are very friendly. However, you need to get their action because many run multiple jobs. Pizza is the best in town.

Robert Griffin

I work with a person with special needs and we come here every Thursday. Mama Dee, Brian, AJ, Makenzie, and the staff are super friendly, polite, personable, and treat us like very important people! The customer service is awesome! Food is great, nice family friendly atmosphere here. The facilities are nice and clean. It is the ideal place to bring the family and kids. We always feel welcome and at home here! Thanks to the staff for all the great customer service you provide!

Mike Scott

Good bowling, but don't go for food. I ordered a roast beef sandwich and it was like someone put a piece of shoe leather in between two pieces of bread. I even showed it to the kitchen staff and posed the question "would you eat this"? I give it five stars for bowling and service but don't eat there.

Janice Rager

Great family fun!

John Edwards

Good value for family entertainment. Pool tables, snack bar and game room. They often run weekday special and offer blacklight late night weekend bowling.

Monica Faucette

Good family fun.

Dottie Guess

Nice family place.

Danielle House

Beautiful

James Schweitzer

Inexpensive and family friendly.

Matt H

For bowling it's great, the lanes are well maintained and oiled. The arcade is a little busted up but still fun to kill some time.

Mike Dellerman

From moment we walked in we experienced unfriendly staff. First to bothered to help another family and I. No friendly words. Cashier neglected to give tokens dur from package deal. On the lane, polite curtousies were ignored by other patrons. Before last game we went to get food. On our return another family was playing in our assigned lane. Business personnel had switched us to a different lane with NO notice. Plus some of the arcade games were defective. Terrible experience.

Leon Eakes

Great family fun

Elizabeth Sawyer

Bowling was fine, but since our last visit they have started passing on a 4% credit card processing fee to the customer. She said new processing company and new bank was the reason, but either way its a cost of doing business. Also the snack bar was completely shut down.

Brad Burnette

False advertising poor customer service

Lee Holmes

The lane we were in (12) drifts to the right

Jeff Thomas

Great place for a night of family fun

Kathy Domeyko

45 minutes to get a drink and even longer for our food. Bartender and waitresses seem to have issues. You wait for your drinks if you are not sitting in the bartender's area. The management needs to step in and either settle issues or hire new staff!

Jonathan Moss

Place is small and the food server was very r unprofessional and rude and it was hot as idk what in there I had to leave.won't go back

Edward Raymond

Local bowling fun and games. Nice clean facility. Variety of games and bowling . Good for all ages

Jessica Brown

Very nice. Service is nice and speedy.

G Aikala

Good bowling lanes.

Thomas Johnson

As a former employee of this place, it never ceases to please me. Every time I walk in, whether there's New staff or the staff I worked with, they are always friendly and smiling. After the floor remodel, the place seems brighter and much roomier. Let's not forget about half priced arcade Wednesday's! I love bringing my nephew to play, he always has a ball here. Any place that can make a kid as happy as my nephew after leaving this place is A1 in my books! Keep it up Buffaloe Mebane!

James Wilson

A great place to go bowling. They also give you a card which you charge money to which pays for the bowling and the arcade which is kind of nice.

kristina huber

Love this place!

April M. Carthon

Beautiful bowling alley.

Coree Coburn

Eat here and you will be sick within 20 minutes

This is my son's favorite place to go. Their arcade is fantastic!

Leon Lea

Great place for family fun or night out with friends.

Adrian Ilie

Family-friendly

Tyler Cooper

Great facility with friendly staff and good food for the right price. This bowling alley is finishing a few renovations- there is still a roped off section in one of the seating areas, but most of the essentials are finished and are looking good. The bowling lanes are smooth and crisp- just like they should be! The arcade machines require a loadable card and are a decent price at $1 per play for most games. I would go back with a group, we had lots of fun.

Kirk Rouser

Kids got to your the back of the alley. Very cool.

Lizzie McCrory

Wings are good. A few new games in the arcade.

Frederick Masi

Great place for family fun bowling and arcade. Look for great specials. Great to see no alcohol on premise. Have good selection on restaurant menu.

Taylor Bell

We went to Buffaloe Lanes for our little cousins birthday party and the kids had an absolute blast! The bowling area was very fun and well organized. They had a great game room with tons of different things for them to play for tickets and redeem for prizes. We used one of their party rooms which was the perfect size and very clean. We'd definitely recommend them for parties of any kind!

Ezra Byrd

They took away the bouncy castle, but the midnight bowling is awesome.

Jansen Hall

i go to a bowling league here great place and good food clean lanes awesome place

Great place to have some fun! Arcade games, bowling, pizza. Reasonably priced

Stephanie Barnette-Holopainen

If you love to bowl it's a great deal from 10 to 1 a.m. For $10 including your shoes

Tony Jetter

Great place to bowl

Elite Gaming

I love this place!! This past visit was my first and unfortunately my last. Although I did love the "Family Friendly" bowling experience they have created. It's a very clean, well organized and a fun place to bowl. There food was AMAZING and really good quality plus good portions for the price. I highly recommend this establishment from small families to big school groups and everything in-between. Thank you for the wonderful experience and I hope to be back soon!

Ramelle Redford

Good service lanes were OK atmosphere was awesome but being from NY and to find out it was no LiQ felt some way. Not that I need the drinks to have fun I still had a good time , oh and the price to bowl was good to

Wayne Culler

Family friendly and no rif raff

Mary Williams

Fun

Jennie Goetz

Great service and fun for the family.

John Rich

Friendly staff

S Hawks

The lanes are clean and the machines worked fine. Several bowling balls were chipped and they don't offer as many sizes as I have seen elsewhere. Bathrooms aren't well stocked. Carpet in the arcade is stained and gross. Several games were totally messed up. Getting out of the parking lot is the hardest. Is located near a really busy intersection and you can't see around the bushes very well. Service is mediocre. The card processing fee is pretty crappy. Take cash. Wish you could play and then pay because I never know how long we actually feel like playing but I guess they're afraid people will skip out but still.

Nero Haralalka

Awesome time...and with a groupon very affordable Friendly staff, great atmosphere for the whole family.

David Ferguson

I was here with the family for a child's birthday party in the arcade. Everyone enjoyed it. Facility is clean and well run.

Darin lee

Fun time.

Matthew Lariviere

Prices are a little.high, but usually has availability

Charmain Bynum

Laura Fletcher

NO BAR - why would you have a bowling alley without beer?

Christopher Criner

Great place to have family time and meet great people

Paul Stephenson

Family fun

Eric Steinbicker

Fun place!

Richard Bucci

I was honestly blown away by this place..I had a birthday party for my 6 yr old grandson Jackson. They have different packages all affordable. Mine had food drink, an hour of bowling, a 5$ card for the arcade for each child and a person that made sure we had everything we needed and we had a private room. We only had to bring the cake. The place was clean food was great. My wife and I will be back for some midnight bowling. I have been to some awful bowling alleys before and this was definitely the best one I have ever been too. Great job guys, you definitely caught me off guard.

Ryan Upton

Otherwise nice alley and game room. Pretty pricey if you dont catch a deal and 3 stars because the lady at the front desk was rude.

Alex Johnson

Best Place for bowling, Food, and Entertainment! The prices are pretty good, best to catch the specials, there is usually one every night!!

Brian D. Petroski

Did not bowl. Played pool. Worse pool tables ever. Maybe bowling would be better. Nacho chips were old. Nacho cheese was cold and watery.

Anthony Davis

The lanes seem slanted, there was an often a pin already down on resets. The arcade games are half broken or not maintained. The claw machines have hardly anything in them, and place always looks like it's under reconstruction even though it has been here a couple years.

Austin Vail

We were able to get right in and bowl.

Ryan Carroll

We have had a couple of my nephew's birthday parties here and are never disappointed. The staff are usually great about accommodating us with whatever we need and the kids (and adults) always seem to have fun. A good time for the whole family

Michael Wood

Family friendly!

Berri

Family friendly quiet

Jay Enterkin

Family friendly, reasonably priced bowling alley with a decent arcade to help entertain children and early teens.

Michelle Seymour

Small center, but great

I’m about to loose my marbles

Max Porter

A truly haunting atmosphere awaits you at the Buffaloe Lanes Mebane Family Bowling Center. With a card system allowing you to indulge in all of your epic gamer moments, you can truly feel at ease knowing the arcade here is comfortingly spaced out and not brimming with young children. The food service was good. I saw a man tenderly knead the dough of my friend and I's regularly sized cheese pizza, which turned out delicious. We ordered a plate of fries to share along with it and it was heartbreakingly only about 7 to 10 fries. Before we could truly feast though, I had to use the restroom. When I entered this restroom, the lights were turned off in some dystopian twist meant to boggle the mind. For a split second, I believed those were my final moments, but there was nothing awaiting me except a clean and sanitiary bathroom. Then we exchanged our few tickets for some candies and trinkets. The key chain selection was god tier. Thank you so much for your time, Buffaloe Lanes Mebane Family Bowling Center.

Meia Love

Kids like it there

Erick Torres

Good place to hanging out with the family. *No alcohol at all*

Dionne Baylor

Very reasonable and clean. Great prices! They need more employees because we had to wait for someone to come over to the snack bar to order food and drinks which sometimes was a long wait. The snack bar looked abandoned. The game room was awesome!

Derrick Carpenter

Great family bowling center, with delicious house-made food, great prices, and an arcade. They even have pool tables. I visited for the first time with my friends from church, a week ago, and I am sure we'll be back!

Janice Copeland

Nice place

Kristel Francis

This place is terrible. The hours are inconsistent, half the building is just unpainted drywall, and the manager is very very unprofessional. I have been refused service and discriminated against by the staff, being told they don't allow minors. It's a bowling alley and I'm 26.

love blue-sky

Had so much fun will be returning soon

Haley Coombs

We drove from Jacksonville, NC to see my mom and wanted something fun to do. When we first got there we had to leave because they don't sell socks. So we had to leave and buy socks. Then we find out they dont sell alcohol & my husband just turned 21 so he was bummed. When we came back it the guy actually gave us a deal since we came back. The lanes weren't bad, but we needed a light ball (probably a 6) with bigger holes, couldn't find one. After Bowling we went to the arcade, I had three different games take my money... I went to the counter and had them put another 1.25 on the arcade card, gave him a $5 bill and a quarter. He comes back with $3.75 as my change. It took him almost 8 minutes to put that dollar twenty five on my card and bring me my change because he was to busy flirting with some chicks.. he could have helped them after when got my change... on our way out my Husband wanted a drink out of the drink machine that didn't work.. the machine was little up but wouldn't take money.. needless to say next time I come to see my mom I will be going somewhere else.

Annette Skaggs

Great family atmosphere. Great food.

Adam Carter

I am new to the area and this has always been a great time for my family and I. I do like the ramp that my 3 year old daughter can use. A few have broken supports, but they still work well

Barbara Fried

Family friendly no bar, decent food and prices

Maurice Seymour

Great place to bowl and to bring family and friends.

David Fox

Child friendly. Great place for birthday parties.

Jen Gad

Totally love it here after multiple visits! Free bowling for kids in the summer, great arcade. Plus it's super clean (including bathrooms), brightly lit, and the staff is friendly and helpful!

Scott Steger

I know that it's supposed to be family friendly, but my bowling has suffered since they went alcohol free. The kids love the arcade. I like to go on Wednesday's when it's 1/2 price. I wish they had a few better toy options in the ticket exchange. Overall, it's good fun that isn't too expensive.

G Chavis

Great family fun

Jarrett Dixon

Has a small arcade, 4 pool tables, and bowling lanes. They have a kitchen and they are cheaper then most places. Very clean. I go at least once every 2 weeks

Lydia Serrano

Need to put the bar back

Leonard Harrison

Bryan and his staff rock. The entertainment is affordable and the atmosphere is excellent. The Lanes are also in great shape.

Candy Brown

I absolutely LOVE Buffalo Lanes Mebane Family Bowling Center! The staff there is super friendly on a consistent basis and it is well kept inside. Thank you for truly being family friendly!!!

Melinda Fargis

Donald Taylor

Nice family fun, clean bathrooms, you can tell the management knows how to run a business

Andrea Snipes

Girls night! Great fellowship, great bowling lanes, great food and awesome staff!

Robbie Edwards

Held a birthday party there. Food was just OK but everything else about the place was great. Staff was friendly and the kids had a lot of fun activities. Games, food, and bowling all for a nice price.

janet Watkins

Great place for family night

Brandon Hall

No service and no lanes waste of time

John Lee

One of the best bowling centers anybody can ask for! The General manager Bryan along with the rest of the staff is a team to succeed. I would say Buffaloe Lanes Mebane is Mebane's premier family entertainment center. This center is heavily involved in the local community and does their best to promote local businesses in the area! This bowling centers goal from what I see is to spread the great sport of bowling in a positive manner. Alcohol is not needed to enjoy bowling! From my experience bowling is a great way to be involved with out the use of drug or alcohol. The folks (family) that bowl leagues in Buffaloe lanes mebane are all great and helpful people, so if you're interested in learning, im pretty sure you can ask anybody there, and they would be more than willing to help you succeed! (Don't forget to try their food).

Melissa Ruggiero

Sucks

Gator green

Great pizza

Barbara Ilie

Fun kids bowling league, hopping lanes, and an enthusiastic group of supporters on a Saturday morning.

Cyndi Brewer

Fun, friendly, clean

Melvis Pikelshaft

Plenty of things to do in addition to bowling.

Tracy Shinn

Fun for the family. Have been to many kids parties here and have come bowling with the family. Great place to bring everyone on a rainy or too cold day. Also a great place for soccer parties! I can't eat them anymore but they have great hot chips and cheese steaks. Wish people would smoke farther away from the door. ....... On our most recent visit they wanted to charge me $. 50 for a refill of iced tea, (not sure if policy changed or what) I told them nevermind I just won't get drinks here again.

Marie Currie

It was a family affair and we had a ball

Zane Farrish

Great family atmosphere

Johnny Mansfield

The staff is always friendly and helpful. Great place to take the kids and the deals are awesome! I take my son here for bowling lessons and he has enjoyed it! I recommend all ages checking this place out!

Rachel Lemmon

Great bowling alley under new ownership from a few years ago. Decent size arcade with new and classic games (big Connect 4 like at Dave & Buster's, but also have skeeball and air hockey). Several pool tables and big screen TV's for watching the game. We were not very impressed with the food here; I'd recommend eating at one of Mebane's downtown restaraunts instead.
