Experience and ambiance is four stars, food and beverage not so much. Places an order for chicken fingers and fries at 6:09 pm and received them at 6:47 pm. Many other orders (nachos, pizza, pretzel) ordered at same time fell under this scenario. It seems however that they were severely understaffed at the time of our arrival (6pm was start flow $2.50 games) and it wasnt until about 6:30 they caught up. Even though I received a double order to make up for service, the fingers were still burnt. Bowling was fun as the lanes were great, no errors in scoring or mechanical wise! Zach (shift leader) did what he could to make up but hes only human. Thank you Zach for doing you let best to rectify the situation. Theres a game room with basic electronic games and claw games, a full bar and a decent amount of quick food. 40 lanes if I remember. Will be back thank to Zach.

Im not much of a bowler, but we took some teens there and all had a good time. They charge about $4 for an hour, and you can bowl 2 or even 3 games if you are fast enough. Plenty of lanes, decent pizza, french fries and ice cream. They have shoes and balls for you to borrow free. If you ask they will put up bumpers along the sides of the lanes which you can use to bounce your ball off as it heads toward the pins. These make it much better for beginners.

Place was really dirty. Alley had like 3 lanes besides ours occupied but they made a big deal turning up the music so we could at least hear it. Ordered a pretzel and it took 13 minutes...and it was burned. Seemed that none of the employees care about anything except getting a paycheck. Sad considering amf was my first job and we had much higher standards all around. Wont be returning.

When booking a party, make sure you understand that you will receive exactly the number of plates, cups and pizza slices as the kids you say were coming. If you have shortages or extras, let them know when you walk in the door as they dont serve the whole pizza any longer they serve it by the plate. Bowling was fun, lanes were clean. Overall a good job for the kids party.

We arrived around 3:00 on Sunday for bowling and was pleasantly surprised of no line! It was a calm afternoon with a friendly staff up front. They had a snack bar with pretzels, nachos, pizza, beer etc. I had a corona and a cinnamon pretzel, yum! Its easy to see front the street with enough parking for your tribe. The restrooms were clean and organized.

Excelente lugar para jugar y divertirse, muchas canchas y buena atención y cervezas frías. Ambiente Familiar

I go here for bowling league but the only problem is that they never make the cards you need when you join bowling league!!! And they need more staff because they close down there concession area before the bowling alley even closes!!!

This place is great! Very nice staff, fun variety of music, and its clean. There isnt a single shady element to this place. Theyve got a great selection of food and drinks, too. Definitely recommend checking it out.

Great place to bowl. Kind of spend in the snack bar. Two Gatorade drinks were WAY more expensive than I expected but dont like to make an issue when I was there since the costs are not created by staff.

Very nice staff. Our lane broke down and the mechanic came right away and didnt leave until he fixed it. A little hard to see from the road but none the less a nice establishment.

They did not have enough staff working on Fathers day. Getting our nachos and pizza took forever. Nachos barely had toppings. Disappointing

Place definitely needs to be maintained. Had to be switched 3 times due to lanes malfunctioning. Staff is friendly.

Fun times for the family, but a little spendy if you arent using a special or have your own shoes.

Michael Gregory

Great fun bowling. Rack kept leaving out pins. A lot of time waiting, then lane change.

Daniel Selby

Outdated scoring system. Expect to pay $5/person/game. Gets expensive quickly.
