Reviews of Kenmore Lanes (Bowling Alley)

hippo madness

Nice place to get nachos. The nachos are sure delicious and the arcade is packed with amazing video games. On the side note, the bowling lanes are nice too.

David Decker

Excellent bowling alley

Xavier Thorne

Great bowling alley

Fell Blackpaw

Had fun at a meet up here. Good atmosphere. Ok prices but alot of arcade games were old or broken

Jason Ludwig

Was a great place to hangout for a work get together :)

Gulmira Uraimova

In the restaurant we were served excellent. Thank you. And your fries are really good!

Carlos Cervantes

Great place with a nostalgic feel!

Patrick Orozco

Best bowling alley anywhere around. Cheap drinks, food, and bowling plus a good staff that will actually remember you the next time you come in

Khasha Mekanik

Went in with my 7 year son. The place not even half full. Many open lanes. We checked in. Were given a lane. My son bowls the ball, and it doesnt return. The whole ball return was not functioning. No big deal, just went up to the front desk and let them know politely. We are standing there for about ten minutes. I'm looking down several lanes literally watching the guy that was "helping us" at the counter bowling w friends. We keep waiting until I finally just walked up, handed in our shoes, and asked for a refund. Unbelievable.

Shannon Rowan

It's a good bowling alley.... Lots of deals n classics. Drink specials too.

Angela Hough

Great deal after hours. The food was really great, and drinks too. Staff was amazing.

Brent Herdlicka

Staff are nice and there are multiple lanes. Bowling alley itself feels a bit run down, but not bad. They could use some more 10 and 11 lb balls. We can never find any when we are there. They also don't have music playing which for some reason I find less enjoyable.

Paul Rusyn

First time there for the Special Olympics bowling tournament. Great facility had a fun time. Very well organized for how crowded the place was.

Damon Williams

The real deal. For Real. . . . Edit: Micheal seems to be very knowledgeable when it came to debugging particular issued with the lane. He instantly knew the precise solution to the problem described.

Tasha Wanner

Not a bad place at all, was fairly quiet at the time we went. Could be a bit cleaner, but the place has been there forever so all things considered it was nice. Employees should maybe smile a little more

Jaime Kalanick

Wish different sized pizzas were available. Food prices are expensive, and no discount/adjustment would be given for a 2 topping with no cheese. Paid $25.... Lesson learned. Otherwise, activities were fun and enjoyable.

Natalie Doyle

I mainly go for the gumball machine tattoos and the fries

Silver Man

Cheap affordable fun. Like most bowling allies it's old...but well maintained. Staff was friendly and helpful

David Rahfeldt

Great d fashioned bowling alley ....

kelsey Carlson

My 4yr old loves to bowl and Kenmore lanes is a hop skip and a jump away.

Rhoda Williams

Kenmore Lanes has good food and friendly, accommodating employees.

Daniel Hur

+ Good lanes. + Good prices. + Decent beer. = Bit awkward not having tables at the lane seating but helps keep things clean. - Machines are a bit dated.

Teresa Virden

Always have a good time here. Great people work there also. Everyone was friendly and helpful.

Swapnil Gawde

So. Many. Lanes. We've never not found a lane to play here.

Lynsey Cupples

Good curly fries

Glenda Fabrizio

Excellent bowling alley. In great shape with helpful staff. Great food options and welcoming to all ages.

Clinton Hoien

Nice updates. New shoes, flooring, video, etc. They have done a nice job on the place. I still suck at bowling.

Jalharad

Good lanes and prices. Bar is excellent for a bowling alley. Food is was you expect it to be.

Jonnie Hernandez

Love coming with our 5 yr old. There's an arcade, a bar, and a kitchen with all the best comfort foods. Can't wait to go back!

Cheryl Muriekes

Always a good time here. Food is good not expensive. Bowling is also reasonable. Clean and well maintained

Coast to Coast Drones'

Great Food ! Nice Folks ! Everything Clean!

Cole. Brown

Huge place, great nachos

sosha green

Great food and daily specials. 50 lanes, bar with billiards, darts e.t.c, banquet room, small dining area, small arcade and the staff (especially the night restaurant ladies) are phenomenal. Great place to take the family or a date

Anthony Spriggs

It's so fun bowling there, and the staff has been so nice!

Snow Rose

Had a blast bowling and the snacks were good too!

Sara Rachid

Old! Stiff cheap drinks though!

Renae Sowald

This is a great place! Nice people working there, lots of lanes, delicious food at the cafe, and a really fun arcade. It's nothing fancy, but lots of fun. House balls are pretty beat up, there's not much seating at each lane, and the display controls are rather old and difficult. However, none is those things make the whole experience less fun

Shane Marcell

Had a blast with some work buddies played pool darts drinks pepsi for me and a grubbin burger

David Elbow

Good prices on drinks and lanes are not bad at all.

Rey J

50 lanes. Got a groupon for this. Friendly staff, tons of lanes. Great bowling alley. Automated kids rails.

Zachary Burrows

Bowling was good. Burgers better than expected. Beer selection was nice, about 6 rotating local beers on tap.

liam walker

Food was decent, had fun bowling here. Would recommend.

Jake Reppert

Good no frills bowling alley. It’s affordable and usually clean, but it is generally busy. I’ve tried stopping by on Saturday’s after 2 or so several times and its a zoo. If you go on a weekend, go earlier in the day.

Andrew Milks

Good drink deals fast service always an open Lane

Richard Wade

A no frills bowling alley. Staff were friendly, and provided little kids ball. Everything felt a little grimy and the balls were all fairly greasy. I'd probably go back again, but would also look for other alleys in the area before i do.

michael norris

Good cheap place to bowl, and their pizza is fantastic

Matt Strople

Last old school Seattle area bowling alley standing.

Julie Collver

Had breakfast, the special is good. Patty sausage is awesome. Bar looks very nice. Lots of pool tables. Looks great for as old as it is

Michael Atencio

Been going there for a bout 17 years always have fun, new, clean bowling shoes. I only wish they still had the card room that was awesome!

Nancy Polin

The ball return/reset mechanism broke down five times during the course of three games. It was a little annoying. Perhaps, the alley hasn't been properly serviced since the Nixon administration?

Rosanne Jimenez

Taken kids here in a group on a Saturday once, two years in a row (on a reservation). They always have fun even though the lighter bowling balls get stuck in the machinery after they are bowled. The attendants are prompt about helping us get them back when needed. They seem to have a good group working here and bathrooms were maintained. This is an older facility. Just found out they also honor a FREE summer program for kids! (Kids can bowl once a week for free.)

Bill A

Fun place to bowl and Darts.

Nancy Johnson

Staff is very helpful. My kids love bowling here.

Steve Burke

Fun place to bowl and hang out

PandaMan21086

*disclaimer the picture featured is just our league shirts provided by Kenmore lanes. We were at league finals that was called Mt. Vernon in Ferndale, WA.* Kenmore lanes is a relaxed and community friendly place for both the casual bowler and dare I say "professional" bowler. They have an arcade, billiards, darts and great deals depending on the day/hours. The staff is awesome at being friendly and helpful whenever it's needed, and the food always exceeds expectations. #motzsticks#nachos#sourdoughchickenclub The only complaint from our team is when we played sometimes our lanes would get stuck and not reser which would require staff to go down the lane and fix the problem. BUT the staff is super quick to respond. If the lanes ever get updated it would be 5 stars for sure.

Achyut Sarma Boggaram

Food can be a lot better!

J-Dog's Gaming

It was hella fun hanging with great people can't wait to do it again. The lanes were nice and the balls were up kept and nothing ever got stuck so good work

Jemar Cure

Nice spot to go bowling , don't expect luxury staff and food,they also serve beer.

Mark Roach

Awesome family friendly and league friendly bowling alley. The kitchen does pretty good food and the lanes are generally oiled pretty good.

Sarah Anne Rathbone

Classic bowling alley. Great for the whole family.

Joseph Rabdau

I'm really bad at bowling but I didn't think anyone was judging, except for my friends. The chili fries were delicious.

Richard S Jones

So very bowling alley. Even down to the suspisously hanging ceiling tiles and old house balls. I love it! I would have given it five stars if the casino was still open. Make sure you check before you go, they have lots of leagues.

Shawn Holter

Great house. Leagues are fun and try the Buffalo wings!

Richard Wright

Good white Russians and if you want you can flex on beer pong between sets. Highly recommended for a 1-7 year old bday party or VFW meeting.

Sue Thomson

Fun to bowl with our good friends! Great food and service!

Melonie Merrell

Love the "old style" bowling alley. They are disappearing fast and I will always choose the OG'S over the new ones. Prices are better n atmosphere is much more friendly!!!!

Erica Burke

Lame arcade most of the games steal your coins :/

Madame Keya

I made the mistake of going to Lucky Strike in Bellevue, and it sucked. Overpriced, and pretentious. My boyfriend and I then went here, and we loved it. I’ve been bowling since I was a kid, and this place seems close to what I’m used to. A straight up normal bowling alley not trying to sell me a $15 burger or cocktail. We’ll definitely be back again.Thanks Kenmore Lanes!

Jelani Adofo Shaw

Lots of fun bowling...

justiin rodig

Great place for family and friends been going here since I was kid always good service

Erin Battersby

The kids had tons of fun bowling and playing in the arcade. The food is a good value. All and all, and awesome way to spend a rainy afternoon.

Grace James

I bowl here with my league ... Food is ok

Sue Hewett

Well this was a special evening on New Year's Eve 2018. We looked for her ever find a place to have cocktails and there was nothing going on from Maple Leaf Seattle basically all the way to Kenmore Lanes so we decided to stop there. My fiance and I brought a friend along and we walked in and saw these people dressed in outfits like furry animals. Well we found out what they were all about and if you haven't heard of there group you can check it out for yourself because these people are something else. My friend and I got a picture with 1 and after I was told who was in those costumes I was kind of thinking well that was a first LMAO>

Mark Hoefer

Old school fun, great bar, darts and pool. Good food and service. Oh yeah, there's bowling too.

Susan Cook

A10year old's Family and Friends Birthday party was held here! All involved had a great time from age 70 to 2 1/2. When the kids got bored with bowling they got to play games. My daughter-in-law paid for two hours of bowling, shoes, pizza and drinks. It was a perfect party.

Christian Stecher

It's a pretty big place. Decent service in the bar.

Elaine Hester

Fun time. Good bar food. And good drinks. Reasonable cost for bowling.

Nicole Lane

Could be friendlier staff.

Scott Ours

The approaches on the lanes need to be buffed.they was sticky in some places tonight.

Ryan King

Wonderful childhood memories here. Fantastic bowling alley with delightful staff. 10/10 would throw a gutter ball here again.

Daniel Pensak

Fun place to bring the family for bowling. Shoe rentals, affordable prices, plenty of lanes, food and drink, and friendly atmosphere.

Luiz Maggio

Great place to go bowling, I was with my family and we enjoyed our dinner meal, in 4 people we spent $ 48 on the fees we ate very well. Ah !!! The very kind cafeteria attendant

Tobydogg cantwell

Friendliest place on earth.

Bruce Rodich

A Kenmore Landmark. Bowling alley, pool room, bar, and restaurant. Service is excellent whether you’re bowling, buying a burger, or grabbing a beer. More than enough parking with a Starbucks right next door. Only negative is a lack of air conditioning on hot days.

hollyhoodsown

GREAT, fun place! Staff could use some people skills, other than that, AWESOME for kids and adults :D

john shane

We go here for the hamburgers and Terminator video game! Hamburgers are always delicious, they have never disappointed us. Plus you get to watch bowling. or you can bowl too!

Jason Byfield

One of the few remaining bowling alleys in the area. Their equipment is getting pretty old and we've had to change lanes a few times due to failures but the whole family always has fun.

RoRo Rohde

They have really good breakfast, lunch and, dinner here and it's cheap! Always busy but NOT in a bad way. Nice staff!

Dhanasekar Sugunan

Some foul smell in the facility other than that rest are good

Susan Cao

Fun place for the family

Hex Husky

We love this bowling alley. It's the only bowling venue large enough for our group of about 300. It's convienently located for our event and the staff has always been awesome to work with making sure we have enough lanes, a changing/cool-off space and fresh water available. The venue let's our DJs set up in the arcade and provide a music space for our attendees. We hope to be going here for many years to come.

Jeff Stockamp

Good place to bring a family. Lots of Lanes, good food

Weston Manzer

The most legitimate bowling alley around. Affordable, a lot of lanes, and just a classic bowling alley feel. Our go-to. Thanks!

Patricia Krie

Great Breakfast specials before 11a.m.

Laurie Guardiano

I had met with two other friends last night at the bowling alley bar out of location convienence and we decided to just eat there too. We ordered two french dips and a club sandwich with salads. Wait. . .are we at a bowling alley bar ? ? The food was terrific. . .hot and tasty ! A hidden jem for a quick bite to eat ! Was told that their breakfasts are VERY good also, so I will be back to try that too ! 4 stars !

Totally Kyle

Strong drinks, fattening food, loud atmosphere. Bright yellow fluorescent lighting. Bowling. Pool. And a classy smoking shack, just for you. Sound terrible? Good, maybe there’ll be an open lane when I get there.

mike bartz

Great place, large, and lots of things to do other than bowling.

Satchel Hamilton

Good place to hang out and catch a few frames.

aladdin uzuner

Well, I bought a steak for $75.00 and could've just fried one up at home for $10.00. It was a good atmosphere with a date though

Don Redford

A nice old bowling alley. They are celebrating their 6oth year. I like the house. Good food and drinks.

aaron hebner

Had pinball but not any more

Rustyn Clark

There's a buttload of lanes here (50 I believe). Plenty of parking, automatic bumpers and ramps (if you have little kids), and the prices feel like they're from 1993! The only reason I took a star away was because the lane I was on didn't seem to have the ball speedometer working - but, that's pretty minor.

Aaron Gregg

Nice 11th Frame Lounge. Good for darts and pool.

Cassandra Armstrong

Decent, though one of the cashiers called me a 'he' and refused to correct himself

robin green

This place is so fun, great staff, and they have the best food.

Randall

50 bucks to bowl for 3 ppl. Theyre smoked.

Erica Navarijo

Had a blast with the family they brought out this metal ramp so my 2yr old could actually get the ball down the lane. Awesome place

Kaedin Sargent

Nice little place to stop and knock some pins over. Generally it's not very crowded so that's a good thing.

Kristin Mize

Love bowling at Kenmore Lanes! I can honestly say I've bowled here all of my life <3 try the fries if you're hungry, the lighter weight kids balls are behind the front desk, theres a bar, not to mention Kenny, who is one of the most recognizable faces at Kenmore Lanes if you've ever visited before (I'm pretty sure is the manager). Theres an arcade for the kids & adult-sized kids to win tickets for the prize machines......SO much fun & fairly priced. Right off the main road, so easy to find....right next to Starbucks drive thru & dollar tree.

Firoz Kamdar

We went Satuday evening (5-6pm). It was very empty, which was nice. The service in the food, bar, and bowling area was amazing. Everyone is really friendly and helpful. Socks are sold in a vending machine for$4 if you forget to wear v them.

Dave B

Pretty good pizza and had a good time bowling.

Lisa Garcia

Nice family bowling

Andrew Tataran

It was alright. Fairly clean and staff were fine

DeShawn Thomas

Quick, easy, and great bowling for the whole family for low price. Summers kids bowl free just sign up online, but make sure you call ahead on weekends so you avoid overflow. Many leagues call Kenmore home so it get very busy and time, but overall a great place to have fun

Gurmeet Gill

We have been to this place a couple of times. And each time, we had great time at a reasonable price. At the end, happy team, boost in morale.

Matt Krachunis

We got here on a Friday night right after leagues let out. It was really really busy! They have a ton of Lanes and it has a great nostalgic feel to it. If you're looking for a great place on a Friday night that isn't a movie, I highly recommend going to this place. Parking lot is a little dark, but it's ok.

manas roy

It's a good place to bring kids and family. We go with friends and families and love bowling here. There is a bar area and food stand.

Star Zeaker27

Has a good deal after 11 pm. Staff was friendly and approachable. Lanes are in good condition. And also has an arcade.

Jen Bowhey

Lots of lanes. Wished they had air conditioning! Couldn't find lighter balls I was looking for- the lighter ones they had were only for child sized fingers.... Nice staff.

Sam Kawewehi

Breakfast was great

OneDFredy Armani

It’s a cool place to spend some time with friends and have fun!! Playing pool, bowling and darts is Alawar’s fun. But there is always a missing step everywhere I go, First, the drinks over there is so bad. Outside the building needs some work like fixing the lights in the parking lot make it bright to attract customers. Fix the sign as well.

Patrick Tibbetts

First time here. This is a great place to take the family for some fun. Full menu, full bar, pull tabs, games. We only bowled, did not eat or drink but the entire place was moving. Check the website for more information.

Dan Venis

Bartenders are very good and friendly

Steven Alvarez

Amazing staff

Yashvika Khurana

Lots of lanes, really fun in general

Joey Robinson

Such a fun and accepting bowling alley. Great prices, good food, and fin little arcade!

Rose White

really our go-to food for food! in Kenmore!

Michael Chong

Great place to grab a beer and bowl

David Dow

Great bowling alley, they serve good food too

Steve Kraemer

I was there as a coach for Special Olympics Nationals tournament, and they ran the tournament very professionally. The lanes and the center were clean and comfortable. Job well done!

Lauri Nichols

Old fashioned family fun! There is something here for everyone; arcade, bar, resteraunt, pro shop.

Ruth Kenney

This is a great place. I bowl with my grandchildren and the staff are kind and helpful. It's clean a d spacious.

Jason Wilcox

Food and service are decent. Lanes tend to be a bit buggy. We bowl league here and enjoy it.

Cassandra Swisher

Great place and service but needs better arcade games that win points

Chad Storey

Great bar food... Fun employees....

Tesla Lightning

It's a bowling arena. Very retro, I don't know it's on purpose or they don't have the budget to modernize. Food is pricey for what it's worth. Drinks are reasonable. I'd return for a good game of bowling, but if I wanted to spend 3 games or more at an arena, I'd probably go somewhere that invested into decent food, drinks and sanitize stations.

Jeff chandler

Great time with the Cub scout pack

Shauna Ackett

Love coming bowling here! Arcade is fun too!

Jackie Meyers

Good drinks, awesome bartender and yummy food!

Brittany Riesenberg

Basic bowling alley, the prices are good and well fair for the area! Our favorite spot to bowl. The cafe area has good food also! :)

Kj Piper

Fun fun place for birthday parties

laura walker

Seriously retro....but doable. The giant nacho plate is a guilty pleasure. Great kids free summer deal.

caleb Barrow

Kenmore Lanes is a older bowling alley but has that classic feel. Its a great place to have friends and have a good time.

Ilya M

Great spot stuck in time. At times totally out of it's element, but at times just perfect. The kids love the numerous arcade games. Sometimes we bowl, and sometimes we get a beer and play some games on those infrequent Pacific North West rainy days :) Please stay in business!

Ryder Donahue

Really great alley with tons of lanes and very friendly staff!

Dana Olson

Pay by the game, so you can relax and have a good time, not rush to finish in time.

kasey handel

I've been coming here since I was very little, over 25 years and I love this bowling alley! My parents brought me here, I hung out here with my friends as I got older, and stool come with MY family over 30+ years later! Great people, great food, great prices! Love, love, love this place and would recommend to anyone looking for a good night out of fun!

Darci Sternen

Awesome staff made my daughter's birthday bowling party a hit.
