Good family fun.
Nice alley. Pretty clean and up to date technology on the lanes.
Nice place to go and hang out..
Great food and great time.
Food here is pretty good and the lady in the kitchen is nice but the rest of the staff I've dealt with are kinda rude. The whole price is pretty overpriced- $17.50 for 2 ppl to bowl w/shoes? Is that standard? I know $10 for a tiny stk&chz combo is not the standard but it's either that or 7-11...
It was great
It's ah good place for kids not grown ups.
Very expensive for not a lot of bowling time, we ordered food and they forgot to make it and would not give us a refund because they "didn't have that ability" overall a total rip off. Get your act together northside lanes! P.s. a small kid should not be an employee at midnight on a Saturday
Nice Bowling
Great place to bowl for the entire family
Classic bowling alley atmosphere. Drinks are cheap!
Lots of fun. Cosmic is the best
Expensive and needs a major overhaul!!!
Nice people, plenty of space to bowl and we always have a great time!
Great food and nice staff
They are the nicest people when dealing with the customer
Good
Great time
Very nice bowling alley. I was pleasantly surprised.
Very nice here
Best bowling place to be
I love it food is great
Fantastic lane conditions!
It is a bowling alley with all the bowling alley stuff... Seems to be a good place.
Love the food
I had fun tonight.
Great atmosphere, the manager is very nice. Great food!
I had such a good experience here when my Daycare took our class to bowl one morning. The owner was so polite and made sure we had everything we needed and made the whole process so stress free! We also had lunch there and they had made individual plates for my students and put their name on the plates so when I was passing them out I knew exact who got what! I was so impressed with this bowling ally! I will be returning again!
Fun place to be
Lol, it need 2 be better ok
Food service was super slow
Best place to have fun with the family. They are very understanding.
This place has really gotten bad over the years. I will never go back there again
The only reason I am not giving five stars is due to the attitude of one of the workers. We had reserved six lanes for our Girl Scout troops. The bowling area was nice. It was clean and the food was great. The one lady working the front got aggravated when a girl's shoes didn't fit and we needed a new size. She got aggravated when we asked for lighter weight bowling balls. The guy working was great, but you could tell she didn't want to be bothered.
Back ends are really clean.....
Great place
The people that work here are so nice!! Place is clean and well kept. Love coming here!
Me and the other workers went there for bowling and we had a blast. I will definitely come back!
Cosmic lanes available all day. Kids loved it. Food was good and staff was very friendly and helpful.
Best lanes in winston salem. Best staff too!
Had a great time bowling met some nice people next to us we decided to go out and take the kids yesterday on a Saturday and don't the wait wasn't long didn't grab any food maybe next time it was clean friendly I will be checking it out again
Nice places
Lots of fun. Plenty of lanes.
Place to have a good time with the grandkids
Great family fun.
They have new automatic scoring. So nice to visit a bowling alley that keeps bowling for a family affordable!
Bowling fun for seniors enjoying people in their own age group.
Great place to spend family time
Great way to spend a cold Saturday!
Not bad, it's a great place to spend almost an hour or two with some friends.
We love bringing the kids here. They have good deals in the summertime for kids and they have a wonderful restaurant with great food. We will return.
very nice and good service!
It was ok
Fun place to take the kids
Been bowling here for 14 years, so I am pretty familiar with the place and the folks who work here. The prices are competitive (compared to other cities since this is the only bowling center in town). I always take advantage of the weekly dollar a game special as well as the summer bowl all you want for $10 special. Coupons are available online as well. I know sometimes the staff seems a bit stressed but considering how busy it can get, I can understand why they not always at their best. I read complaints about cleanliness, but frankly, it just depends. On busy summer days, with lots of kids in, the customers can leave the place messy and make it hard to keep the bowling center sparkling clean 100% all the time. I think the snack bar ladies do a good job, again especially on days and nights when they are really busy and customers are lined up at the counter. If there are any issues, I find it easy to talk with the manager or the marketing director. They have done a number of renovations in the last year or so to keep the center as modernized as possible. The only things that really bother me are other bowlers who may not be aware of the rules and etiquette involved with bowling, such as getting on the lane when someone next to you is about to bowl, causing a distraction to that person. One customer gave a one star rating because some teenagers laughed when his mother slipped--how is that the fault of the bowling establishment? Unfortunately, human nature being what it is, we tend to complain very easily.
It’s very clean and nice. Prices are a little high but can’t complain had a much better experience then other bowling allies.
Great place for the family or with friends. Great food, friendly staff!
Nice place not a great bowler
Ok
Food good and had fun
A great place to bowl
Could have better snack bar food, but what else can you really expect from a bowling alley
Foods amazing and really good service and a good place to bowl
Nice place. The whole family had fun. Food was good but very slow.
Great family owned and operated bowling center! Alcohol free and kid friendly! One of the best Youth bowling programs in North Carolina! Preparing youth for bowling at the next level, college level and beyond!
Nice friendly staff. Hate the location!!!
Super friendly staff
Great place for a corporate outing. Had a great time bowling badly
I love this place. Very family friendly. Family owned. Everyone is very nice. Great place.
Fun place. Not much food options.
Bowling for everyone, not to steep for an evening of fun. Good deals for kids
Havent been in couple years. Nice upgrades to the equipment. Snack bar was a bit pricey
Great place to bowl both regular and laser bowling. Just wish there were more rules posted about turn taking and children being too close near bowlers.
Great food
I really like bowling there I have a lot of friends there I bowlthere 2times a week Linda fulk
Great place
Family friendly
There was a birthday party and only 1 person managing food. It was chaotic and lots of items were out (ranch dressing for salads, mini corn dogs, and lids for cups). The bowling was pretty good but I have been to alleys where they can put bumpers up or down depending on the bowler. They were unable to do that for us here and we had to wait for a second lane so the adults could bowl without bumpers. It could have been an off day, so maybe we will try again.
Like to eat chuckwagon there
Love the food I've been going since I was young
Pretty dark and dingy. Lanes are in good shape so the place is good for bowling AND a nice shady drug deal.
We bowled a tournament there and they just changed a shot on one pair of Lanes because one bowler didn't like it. I will never bowl in this place again because cheating is encouraged.
Of course I love this place. grew up at this bowling alley, it is where I had discovered I had bowling skills, I miss laser bowling!!! And the food my friends, and I come just to eat alot.
They have 1$ special on Tuesday but they force people to use bowling shoes,they don’t ask if you want it they just charge for it plus the lady seem to be racist!!!
Great place had my grandson's birthday there they provided a wonderful experience!!!
The food wasn't that good
Nice facility.
Extremely welcoming and kind!
Great price, and a place to have great fun!!!
This place is actually pretty nice. It looks a little out of date but I liked the environment. The lanes and bowling balls were taken care off.
Always a great place
The people that work here are awesome. The bowling was great. Gives you the old time feel of bowling which makes it better. The prices are to fit anyone’s budget. Definitely will be going back.
Really nice people. Gave me a discount. Food isn't to bad
Northside Lanes provides the most courteous and Professional Service of any lanes in the area. The grill is excellent as well but the variety of entrees and always cooked to Perfection and prepared and served with care. I always enjoy visiting there.
Bowling without the smoke smell, plus there's cosmic bowling!
Went with some friends to bowl a few games. Overall service was great. They have friendly staff that are willing to help. The entrance is a bit obscured and the building can not be seen from the road, but if you pull into the 7-11 parking lot it's right behind the store. Food and drinks (including alcohol) are a bit expensive, but so is all snack bars in places like this. The price per game is high; however, you can easily get coupons that make it rather affordable.
Great place for the whole family to bowl!
Like it
Great to have kids bowling! Best inexpensive activity!
Makes you want to go bowling more often. Friendly staff. Great food. Awesome lanes and vibe.
Had a great time
Great place, Cosmic bowling is awesome.
Great family place. I love it.
Fun place, cheap food and beer but expensive to bowl.
A little dirty, but the staff are friendly and helpful.
Enjoy bowling and the employees
Fun place for bowling. Students got a free 1st game when we went.
We had a great time at Northside Lanes tonight. Going back soon!!
A great family experience, food is good, and lanes are open almost every time you go in
Nice bowling alley in Winchester. Had a blast, great prices, games, and refreshments.
Lots of fun worth the hour and 20 min drive and Kelly in pro shop is excellent very nice will make the drive anytime I need something, thanks for a wonderful experience.
Good food..prices are a little high
Nice place had a good time!!
My mom mom fell hurts her legs and foot teenager are laughing at my mom mom
Just returned from my grandson's birthday party at Northside Lanes! It was fantastic! The staff was wonderful, especially Caleb. He made sure we had everything we needed and the kids had so much fun! If you are considering a bowling party, do it at Northside Lanes.
Fun place to take the family
Great bowling!
Great staff safe place the bowl!!! Been going for years
Staff friendly, prices affordable, food good. Able to bring the whole family from my 80 year old grandma to my nieces and nephews when they visit.
My daughter had a great birthday party here.
Came for a family event. Management is generous. Lanes are well kept. Food and drinks available. Not too crowded. Decent prices and friendly staff. Nice legible screens and a pay as you go laid back atmosphere and hard to beat group rates.
Love this place!
Very clean lanes and facility. Great cosmic bowling which is fun for the older kids. Staff is helpful and kind.
Great
I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!
I like Northside lanes the workers are really nice.. Especially the ones at the desk...
Home
This was a fun place! Kids enjoyed bowling! Prices are a little more than others but it was enjoyable.
Wonderful
Friendly and welcoming staff. Good experience.
My favorite Friday night hang out place to be with friends.
Great place to go and have fun. Great people at the counter
I picked Northside Lanes for my daughter’s birthday party this year. This was the best experience I have had so far for a kid’s party. They were so easy to work, and everyone was kind and helpful. I would recommend Northside Lanes to everyone who wants to have their child’s party here!
Me and my 6 year old had a great time here. The bumpers came up for him when he bowled and went down during my turn. It made it fun for both of us. Food and bowling were both reasonably priced
It is so cool to relax to a game or two of bowling 10 pins here at Northside Lanes off rte 11. Behind a 7-11sort of. Give them a call or check out their events they do. Here there is more than one way to bowl !!! In the area you must check this bowling lanes a try. Even has food service.
Lots of fun. My family and I visit the cosmic side when we go, and it is great. Loud, upbeat music, good selection of food, and...bowling!
This bowling alley offers a lot of fun at an affordable price. You can also print coupons off online to make it even cheaper! They also have a variety of great tasting foods, although some of the food is a little overpriced. I am going to continue coming here with my friends and having a great time.
Great time!!
Really friendly staff. Great place for a birthday party
Terrible never again those hotdogs was very disappointing!!
Chill laid back place to have fun with family and friends
My family and I stayed on the north side of Winston during Hurricane Florence as we had evacuated our home in southeastern NC It was nice to get out and go bowling instead of being stuck in a hotel room. Great hospitality by the staff.
Great place good prices
With no competition in Winchester, Northside Lanes is what it promises to be, but no more than that. The food is okay, the atmosphere is okay, the facility is okay in appearance and repair. If you like to bowl this is a good place to go. If you are looking for a party starter destination you might be better to try someplace else.
Great Birthday Parties!!
A very nice bowling ally. I loved the lanes and had played laser bowl. Seemed clean from other bowling alleys that I’ve been in. The one thing I didn’t like was every game was a bit steep in price. Hopefully that had or will come down in prices. It’s a good place though. Good place for dates. I came outta there feeling satisfied and had a good time. Loved it.
Nice atmosphere
I haven't been to northside bowling in years, and when I used to visit in my younger years, it was still just as great. The establishment is clean. The staff very friendly. The have fun facts about bowling on the bulletin board. The kids have decided that they would like to return at least monthly for a friendly game.
Good family fun
Awesome place for bowling. They also don't sell beer soo that is a plus. Don't have any complaints and they also have a youth and youth/adult program
Great entertainment for whole family
Friendly atmosphere
Great bowling alley with friendly staff. Has a food court with good quick and simple "bar" foods. Been going here since I was a kid (and not much has changed)!
Much better than my last visit! Bathrooms were clean, the grill was on point and timely, and the desk staff was really helpful
Perfect place for the whole family
A great place to bring the kids. The staff is friendly and helpful. The Cosmic bowling is a blast.
Nice place, family friendly. I think they were a bit short handed in the snack bar because orders were taking a long time to fill. Staff friendly. Clean bathrooms!
Still as awesome as it was in the 90s. Tons of (off street) parking, two sides, one with the twilight bowling, lots of available bowling balls in light to heavy weights, plenty of seating for each lane, clean restrooms, great snack bar. Winchester is growing but still feels like there's not a lot to do so this bowling alley is an asset.
Great family fun!!
It's a good, cheap bowling place. It's kinda gross, but that's just part of the package
Had fun. Its a good place for friends and family
Great staff! Great shot! Good and well maintained!
Great place to go and hang out with friends.
It's was nice enjoyed myself
I had a great time with friends, it’s a great place to just play and hang out.
Great place for fun
First time visit. Very nice place. Friendly and helpful staff. Really liked the "lease a lane" option. Very affordable when taking a bunch of kids bowling. Not crowded at all for a Saturday night. Will definately be back.
Nice place but front desk was not friendly and super rude disappointed never going back there
One dollar Tuesday. Can't beat it. See Kelly in the prop shop for all your bowling needs
We always enjoy a Tuesday evening here. The people attending the lanes can be not so friendly or welcoming, like your a bother type. It's a bit crowded but it's a good time. On Tuesdays I believe it's the busiest day due to their deal where you bowl for cheap, you might have to wait longer than usual to bowl on Tuesday not overall they are ok
Comfortable for children and adults. Good beer choices and prices. Many lanes. Open bowling and many, many league options. An excellent local place with professional options.
Nice
It's a nice place, at least as bowling alleys go. Hasn't changed a whole lot over the years, but that's ok!
Staff is nice lanes are good.
Great time
Out dated, friendly atmosphere
Great visit to the bowling lanes. There was a group of 14 of us and they made sure we was taken care of. Did a great job making a fun memory
Older but newer lanes too tons of fun
Good for groups
We had fun at our school bowling night.
Very nice place to bowl at a they take care of. Their customers
Great place to have some family fun
Owners are some of the nicest people. Always reasonable rates for bowling!
I was bolling then i made it
Always a good place for family fun!
Great place to take a family bowling!

Lots of fun. Real clean. Friendly and helpful. Great family atmosphere.
Extremely pleasant and friendly staff.
Great place for family. We go with my family every time we visit them.
Great family oriented bowling alley
Great family place they have cheap bowling nites and good food and service
It was a friendly environment.
Cosmic bowling is off the chain!
Great place for families and group parties. Owner is wonderful and prices are awesome!!!
Friendly atmosphere
The lanes are clean and the survis is also good the food is good
Overall a nice place, but difficult to find. Most of the staff seems friendly, but the man who helped my boyfriend and I was extremely rude. He said he called our names three times when a lane opened up, but never used the loud speaker and it was quite hard to hear anything over the people and music. There definitely should be more staff working on a Friday night instead of just having one person running food and one person behind the counter to oversee that everything is running smoothly.
Bowled 3 games with shoes for $6.25 on a Wednesday. Cheap good fun
Very nice place, service was amazing
Awesome place, staff is great and you can't beat the food in the restaurant!
We just bowled the 12 annual USPCB TOURNAMENT there... The people are Super Friendly and its a nice place for family fun... They have awesome food too...
Plenty of parking and tons of lanes, can get busy on league night. There rental shoes have no laces they are Velcro so go a size down from your usual if you want a snug fit. Small food selection but they do it well, the curly fries are tasty. Mix of cosmic bowling and regular
Definitely must get there early , super fun! GREAT bacon/cheese fries.
Friendly staff
Good food fun for all ages
Its a wonderful place to enjoy bowling. And enjoy others also relaxes from along day from work etc
My family and I have been bowling here for many, many years. My late grandfather bowled on a league at Northside for a very long time up until his health would no longer allow him to. His memory is with me when I bowl here. The facility will always be clean. The food is affordable and tasty, and unlike the majority of other leagues in the area, no alcohol is served, making this a family-friendly facility. The staff is courteous and knowledgeable. If you want a good, safe, fun time, make Northside where you bowl. You won't regret it.
food was great and fast
Great food
Fun and friendly place
Love Tuesdays dollar per game
A good family outing plenty of bowling. This place has been around since i can remember! Great place i give it five stars plus.
Good place to hangout with friends and have a great time. Pool tables are in great shape and good size game room . Low prices and deals that you cant beat.
Been going here for years and they always have friendly staff and good specials!
No wait and good atmosphere!
Good place to go and good fellowship
Love this place it's so family oriented and fast service.
It was fun
Went there this past weekend and me and some kids where playing in a lane out game was done and we tried to get another one started and we had problems. We go to the front desk to ask for some help and the ladies were rude and they seemed annoyed by the questions we were asking. All we wanted them to do was reset our lanes because we couldn’t do it from the button but they just ignored us and kept working with other people.
Great place!! Even tho it's not on a good part of town, it's great inside and they always welcome us with a smile. I work in mental health and go here often. Always helped, and given great service. The food is great, and priced fair. Never had a bad experience here.
Great bowling alley, good specials for students on certain days.
Family friendly environment. Great place for the whole family to come to!
When I was a kid in the 1980s, my parents bowled in the Sunday night league here at Northside Lanes. Not much has changed in the 35+ years since I first came here, and that's why I love it. I take my own kids bowling here and it's a great time for the family. Inexpensive and family friendly.
Friendly staff and clean
Fun, Nostalgic, AMAZING staff,Good food.
Toddler friendly! They don't have duck pin bowling, but they do have toddler sized bowling shoes, light weight balls, gutter guards, and colorful ramps to help kids launch balls. My 21 month old took right to it! They have a great snack bar with kids meals. The lemonaid, hot dog, and French fries were really good! The staff was friendly and accommodating, and did everything they could to make sure we had everything we needed, including a good time. I would call ahead before visiting in the day. This popular bowling alley has leagues going on many mornings and there aren't many open lanes when the leagues are around. I'd recommend this to locals with toddlers who want to have amy adventure with the kids :).
If I could rate this place a 0 , I would. They are horrible. The music is horrible, and the workers do nothing to satisfy their guests. I asked for bumpers and the guy said that he couldn't put bumpers up in our lane. I would not recommend this place, save your money. They food is expensive.
Always a great time ! Doing leagues for 8 years !
Fun
Best bowling alley in Winston Salem! The staff is always so friendly and willing to help you with whatever you need!
Family fun. Also great to bowl and hang out with friends. Nachos are the best!
Love the food.
Janky place
Been bowling here since I was in grade school the place is kept very clean and well organized. There are plenty of balls if you don't have your own and the rental shoes are always in great shape. Prices are very economic and online you can find deals and coupons. Great selection of food and drink at snack bar as well.
Wasnt crowded, great prices, and won a free game! Will be going back!
Awesome food
Fun place to bowl!
The atmosphere is great and the ppl, and staff are great as well, and the best meals around
Good food, updated controls, would recommend
Awesome
I absolutely love this place! During the summer, it has a free bowling game, free bowling shoes (if you're in a kids' size), a free hotdog, and a free ice cream cone if you're a student. Me and my friends love to go here in the summertime, and it's one of our favorite things to do.
I like the lanes but it's hot in there.
I Love Bowling it's Fun n get together with Family and Friends and ur Girl friend n ur Kids.
Fun
Dollar Tuesdays are great for a cheap family night out. The place was clean and we had a great time.
Nice cute bowling alley. It's behind a car lot and can easily be missed. Food taste good. Always have deals going on. Fun place.
Great place to eat. Clean the food was good, and I didn't have to wait long. Great prices and great place to take your family!
To be honest, it isn't the nicest place on the exterior. It looks rundown and dark in the parking lot; however, the entire is clean and the staff are nice. I would recommend better lighting for sure on the parking lot and around the building as it looks truly run down, but it was worth the trip. Enjoyed a great time with family there for night bowling.
Great staff friendly fresh Lanes
Fabulous place to bowl, the people that work the counter are always nice here
Outstanding/
Since its the only bowling alley it will due. It's nothing special and its outdated. Food is very good!
$1 games on Tuesday nights!!
Have been
Great family fun
Great hotdogs at the grill. Luv their onion rings too
Had a great time and we will be going today with the kids at Fremont.nursery.
I took my Family here on two different weekends, and we had a great time both times! I forgot how much fun Bowling is. This place is Kid friendly, so your 2 year old can use a launch ramp to bowl. The score keeper is nice and very easy to use. The lanes are decently prepped for all bowler capabilities. The shoe rentals are decent and comfortable. The price is right The memories are even better! Go! Bowl that perfect game!!
Great Bowling
They have great family specials
Friendly staff, reliable lanes and low prices. How bowling should be.
Old school bowling
So fun and affordable!
I love the places
Great experience! Used to bowl there as a kid and always enjoy going back! The new equipment is nice.
Best Bowling Alley in the Area. If you're in Winchester VA Area and want something Fun To Do go to Northside Lanes. This place Is Awesome.
Very nice place
Nice people, good prices.
Cheap food of acceptable quality.
Love $1 Tuesday's! We always have a blast
Great place to bowl, as you can see I always win. Just dont come on senior night because they are slammed. Other than that, amazing. If you ever need assistance the staff is always there to help. I go there with my bros a lot and it is nice for the staff to have our backs. Also, they ask what lane we want most of the times. The place itself is mostly clean. The vending machines work, and the prices are great. Biggest take away, great value. It may be in an interesting place, but it's safe and affordable.
Wonderful place to bowl, they have food also help to accommodate children.
The employees are friendly here and they have great prices. Good place to go with friends or with family.
Fun bowling center. Nice food choices, good prices, and if you like cosmic bowling.
Prices are a little high. Lots of issues with balls not coming back in the return. Service was ok.
Very fun for the family!!
Enjoy bowling here
Always have had good experiences here. People are friendly. place seems clean. The cafe isn't overpriced.
Rude service needs more help charges wayyyyy too much Machines never work and there food sucks!!!!
Staff wasn't so friendly. The bathroom were not sanitary.
Been coming to this bowling alley for 3 months to take advantage of their dollar bowl nights. Can't beat the price, alley food not bad either. However, Cruella DeVille manning the front desk has much to be desired in any sort of customer service skills. If it involves work or fixing a problem you'll receive an amazing version of an eye roll, exasperated sigh of annoyance, and reluctant assistance. she's even voiced annoyance at the idea of work and wanting to have less work to do. As the person manning the counter you would expect stellar representation of the company. If this is the case, that's just too bad. Would have a 5 star review otherwise.
Need to serve food longer
Very nice bowling alley!
It's what you'd expect from a bowling alley. It's nice to have one in the area. You have a choice between standard and cosmic bowling however both are equally a great time. Place is always packed with people. Alcoholic beverages and food choices available. Kid and adult friendly.
Lots of fun. Perfect for kids birthday parties
Love this place....snack bar girls are great...a fun time
Great place for family fun or girls night out! Friendly staff and great food. We had a really good time.
