The worst place to go if you are a minority. Staff is very prejudice and are geared towards keeping the area predominantly white. Went with a large group spending a good deal of money. We were treated with no respect. Granted we were polite, we watched group after group skip us we waited over 4 hours when told it was only gonna be one. We were spoken to with very rude words and attitude that was very blatant. I take it they dont want anyone that has a different ethnic background feel welcome. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy. Its 2016 not 1940s yet segregation exists and is alive in this place.

Been there twice now, once the night they opened and again last night. Food was good, facilities were very clean and the staff were fantastic as well. They took food allergies very seriously (Im allergic to fish), however it seemed like the kitchen was backed up (which was understandable). It was a great place for small kids and has a very clean arcade with 25-30+ games. I didnt see one person drunk or obnoxious either, security made routine rounds as well. Lastly, they have a very large/ flat parking lot thats nice and smooth, which was perfect for my car which is VERY low & scrapes on everything

I absolutely loved this place, I originally thought that they wouldnt take us seriously because my friends and I are teenagers, but they were very nice and the service was incredible. They would come and check if we needed refills on our drinks. The bowling system is made with up to date tech, and works perfectly. The arcade was full of up to date and entertaining games. All of the prizes were awesome, no little kid crap. The arcade may not have been all that cheap, and the music was a little too loud for me, but other then that the place was awesome! And the food was great.

Arrived at 6 they said 3 hr to bowl we put our name in. So we said lets get dinner. They said a hr for dinner so we out our name in. 5 min later we said we wore not going to stay. 10 min after that they txt us saying our table is ready. That was a quick hr. So but we left because you told us a lot longer time. We to an other place for dinner then went home got a txt 4 hr later saying our lane was ready to bowl. They cant get there time frame straight and they dont take any call ahead or anything what they want people to sit there all night they need to take call aheads

Terrible service, my family (hispanic) and I waited for over an hour and ended up leaving. They told us it would be a 30min wait. They confused us with another party (white family). The arcade credit system is horrible. The Mario Kart arcade is 4 credits for one race. Air Hockey is 6 credits for one game. The game card credit options is expensive. Wamesit Lanes treats and favors white people better than minorities. So if youre a minority and want to go bowling with family and friends, dont go here. My family and I will not be going to Wamesit Lanes for a long time.

Great place , havent been bowling yet since they said it was a 3 1/2 hour wait , so we went somewhere else , but the bowling alley looked in superb condition , restaurant was good , and we were treated with great respect. Granted my brother was allergic to peanuts, so the lady got mixed up twice , and got a chocolate topping first one , and then came back with chocolate ice cream. But over all it is loud so I wouldnt blame her. Anyways it wouldnt be good if you are a minority if you are going here as one. Would come back here again for my birthday.

Well was really excited to bowl here. First 30 were ok but because I went on Saturday, there was a birthday right next to us. Kids kept coming into our lane. Complained to parents and the managers. Was threatened by the parents, the management handled the situation very poorly. I wouldnt recommend coming to this place. Its loud, the management is rude, the birthdays are out of control, its not safe, etc. Drunk, trashy parents are everywhere. Definitely NEVER coming back here.

Service is horrible!! The waitress in the restaurant got absolutely every part of our order incorrect. Then we had to wait over an hour to play when we were told that the wait was only a half hour. You pay by the hour. Our computer broke and 4 different times we had to go to find someone to help us. They kept saying they would send someone over and finally 20 mins later someone came by. However the clock had still been counting down for the 20 mins while we couldnt play.

Really fun the people there are really nice and the service was good, even the bathrooms were clean and very modern. The place is really well made with wooden furniture and sculptures (not really made of wood just looks like it) it looks really nice and you can even buy food. The only bad thing I would have to say is that they blast the music, my family and I had a hard time talking and hearing each other over it. Other than that, great place!

Tavern: Food was okay, but a bit overpriced. 2.70 for a soda?? Also, there was an absurd amount of BBQ sauce on my chicken sandwich.. Bowling: WAY overpriced(!) They didnt seem to have any balls under 10lb with "Large" finger holes, and it seemed there were not enough Large balls but tons of small. Staff in general was just alright. Nice, but they didnt seem to care. Overall its a nice place but it has room to improve.

Went there with my family of 4, including two young children. We were told it would be a 10-15min. wait. After 15 minutes, we noted that there were several tables of 4 open, but we were still not seated and the staff offered no explaination. 25 minutes later, still with no explaination at all as to why we had not yet beed seated, Id had enough and we left. Communication is key; the staff provided none.

Have played in 2 different bowling leagues here. We love the staff, the food and ten pin bowling! We have encountered a few snafus since the place opened in December but overall they take care of the issues and make good. there is an outdoor patio which is awesome for dining or grabbing a drink after work, You can also play bocce ball or bago. Great for date nights or family time.

Candlepin and Tenpin bowling. They still appear to be working out the issues with the computer scoring system, but the lanes or okay. We had the food from the restaurant very early on when they opened and it was relatively poor. They have hopefully improved the food options. The arcade is great, but getting the kids by the arcade without spending money is difficult.

This bowling alley is new and clean inside. Offers both candlepin AND large ball bowling. The lanes are automated, and they all have built in USB hubs for phone charging. The arcade is full and has new games every once in a while, with good prizes. The food in the restaurant is also good, with respectable prices. They have specials during the week as well.
