I went into this place to meet with some friends, and within two minutes of entering, I was approached with an insistence that "it costs ten dollars just to be in this building"--whether I wanted to bowl or not. ¶ Perhaps I am not in touch with business practices these days, but Ive never heard of a "cover charge" for a bowling alley. I called another local AMF and discovered they did not force such a charge. There is really no reason for it; there is no entertainment there, and my presence hardly precludes others from entering. As far as I can tell, they want me to pay money so that I can sit around in stinky shoes. ¶ Its really a despicable policy, as it forced me to leave without even having a chance for a conversation. Worse, it presents a false image that "Im too cheap to pay to see my friends." I had plenty of money with me, but hold strongly that I shouldnt have to pay to simply sit in a public establishment (which bears no cost for my presence). ¶ Ironically, I might have played later that night if the issue hadnt been forced: thereby forcing me out--for good.

The staff was the most unfriendly I think I have ever come across. The man setting up lanes and shoes acted like we were idiots when we explained the other two of our party would be here in just a few minutes. The bartender actually laughed at me when I asked for a pitcher of beer. She then told me I could choose from two beers I didnt want just because she didnt want to change the tap on the bud light. When I said Id wait for the bud light she said our waitress would bring it out once it was changed. A half hour later my husband went back into the bar and she said the waitress had "forgotten" about us. Once the waitress came out with our cups and pitcher of beer she just slammed it on the table and walked away without saying a word. Very dirty place. Not well taken care of. Will never go back.

I went to this bowling alley a few winters ago and it was ok! The lanes were very challenging due to lack of conditioner on the lanes, but that seems to be normal now days! It was very crowded the Friday night before the tournament, so it is the local hang out for the community. I would go back for a tournament.

Came here for a fundraiser for Junior Achievement and had a great time. We all went in Star Wars theme and had a blast seeing everyones creativity with the costumes. The staff was friendly and helpful and our server was quick to keep our drinks full and got our food out quickly! Will definitely return!

Sat. March 4. Beer taps down on a Saturday night with no craft beers, White Russian had a bad aftertaste, nothing but half-hearted ginaric hip hop radio music, but I guess thats what people like. Other than that its a bowling alley with a 45 min. wait on a Saturday.

I waited for about 1 hour after I order fries and everybody else who ordered got there food right away also all of there stuff is over priced and rip you off of your hard earned money they probably stole from me 5 dollars. In my point of view the place is terrible

Getting better all the time. I thought it was going under a couple of years ago but theyve been improving it ever since. Great people working there, bar service can be a bit slow at times. One of the dirtiest bathroom in town... Always.

Venue was relatively clean and the equipment was fine. The facility was understaffed at the time (and the sign at the time noted "help wanted") and we had to find the employee to pay. The ambiance was great.

Slow service. Disgusting bathroom. Deceptive coupons. Have TVs available but rarely on for sports events, they are small, and not HD. Bad beer selection. Place could be so much more.

Best bowling alley I have been to. Balls are organized and very easy to find right size and weight. Lanes were great. Food and drinks were great too. Would definitely go back.

Go bowling every Monday night, staff is always courteous, even try to remember me by name. Never have had to wait for a lane, though I haven’t been there during league times.

Poorest service ever.. Never got our food, nor do I do know why.. Still got charged for a pitcher that I barely had 2 beers out of. Would not recommend, and will not go again.

Almost everything on the food menu was out. Fried pickles, chicken, mtn dew, etc... bowling is expensive for the service they provide. Would recommend somewhere else

Service was terrible, no organization, too crowded, packed too many people in to lanes, no crowd control. No management of lanes, people, service or the floor

Over priced. Slow service. Stuck on lane at the end there is a very dangerous drop off from the side of that lane. Will let not be back anytime soon.

Nice balls and service was slow but the lanes..... Absolute dry lanes not oiled at all completely ruins anyone trying to get a good score.

Very dingy. Customer service is sub-par. Very pricey when compared to other locations who actually take care of their place.

Not a big fan of the service we received. We had to go up to the front counter every time we wanted a $12 pitcher of beer.
