If youre only interested in bowling, this is a fairly decent alley. Other than not being able to hear someone right next to you, and there being little or no air conditioning, the bowling experience is fun. If youre planning on using the bar for drinks and food, youre most likely going to be disappointed and feel cheated out of your money. The food is NOT fresh, its all canned, frozen, etc. then heated up in the microwave. I went with a few people today, and ordered the bruchetta. It was canned diced (not even drained it seemed) tomatoes, and chopped olives on 4 small slices of stale hamburger bun and topped with a small amount of grated cheese. $7. Service is slow, it took almost 10 minutes just to get our drinks. Its over priced and the portion sizes are too small for such a large price. Overall, Id say this place is a huge waste of time and money.

Tropicana has been offering a rewards program for buying half-gallon cartons of OJ, used some points to get three coupons each allowing a free game for up to six people at Pinsetter. Our group of 16 bowlers was well-received by the staff, no odd looks like "Are they really trying to do this?" The owner even offered to split us up into four lanes, so that we werent waiting as long to bowl. The food was tasty, although it isnt necessarily cheap. All in all, a great experience! The owner even gave me some free game coupons after I thanked him for his accomodating us!

Was great working with Pinsetter Bar & Bowl! They was super helpful from the beginning as soon as I reached out. Had some awesome deals to offer for the venue that I chose. I actually ended up arriving late to my own birthday party and the line to get in was so long. I just gave my name at the door and, because Staff had set me up for the night, I was able to bypass the entire line along with 3 of my friends. The fact that 4 of us were able to just move right on up really validated There service for me. highly recommend his services!

I had a great time here. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I called ahead to ask about prices and also for an available lane because on the weekends literally every bowling alley in Philadelphia is booked.. And I mean like, every lane.. So I arrived and to my surprise the place looked great.. The atmosphere was great.. There are plenty of lanes.. The prices are pretty much the least expensive you will find in the surrounding area.. Including the Tristate.. Really.. I enjoyed myself.

Went with the wife for a sandwich and bowl a few games. Food ok, nothing to write home about. The bowling experience was horrible. Used house shoes and nearly broke something because of it. My shoes were completely worn-out on the sole and I ended up on my face on the first ball. Didnt think to inspect shoes beforehand, not trusting anymore. Got full refund and headed home, never to return. If you go there and use size 13 house shoes BEWARE.

This is by far my favorite place to bowl in South Jersey. Everything is new. The public balls are awesome, the velcro shoes are a dream, the lanes are spotless. The only downside is the price, and there are no specials during the week, so I dont bowl here as often as I would like. The only place better is Laurel Lanes in Mount Laurel on 73 near 38. Laurel Lanes is more expensive, and again, has no weekly specials.

Awesome experience!! My son had his 8th birthday party here fun for the children as well as adults. When i was booking the private space the coordinator call within a timely matter, came there and was giving a tour. Day of party was greeted by our Host Lauren she explained everything very well and was so attentive. love that the bar is separated from the party room.

Cant say enough good things about Pinsetters. The retro vibe and atmosphere is fun and amazing! Their food isnt typical bowling alley food with things like paninis and hummus platters-- Ive never had a bad dish and we try something different every time. Try to go on one of their special nights, like college student or ladies night for cheaper bowling & drink prices.

The patrons are always nice...fun bowlers...but the staff is a little weird at times. How do you card someone after you served them multiple drinks? Then harassed for an id and all of sudden say one drink at a time...they need to get a better policy or maje patrons aware of the foolishness beforehand. It could be just certain patrons get treated this way. Smh

This place is a horrible bowling alley and its bar is not any better. I went there with a few of my friends and the bar was horrible and the lanes were crap we also got some food and we found 2 hairs in the pizza. If you want to go bowling or to a bar I would not suggest here!!!!!

Bowling here is very fun and the food and bar are decent too. The staff can be a little more helpful when youre buying shoes and games. They didnt inform me on the specials for the night and didnt tell me which lane I was at but it didnt bother me as it might have someone else.

I come to this place when all my friends decided to meet up during the weeks or weekends. Bartenders are very accommodating you also get your food fast but of course depending how busy they are but usually fast. Great place to bring friends and or family. You have bowling

A great deal for what you pay for. They have lots of regular discounts offered so be mindful of the day and time your attend if you want a good deal. It gets significantly louder at night to cater to the nightlife crowd, so definitely go during the day of you have kids.

A go-to spot for bowling. Bowling there is always fun with good music and food. I especially love their French fries. Weekend bowling has black lights and projectors. Weekdays are relaxed when theres no crowd. Great place for kids and adults. Also VERY clean.

Great environment to go with family, friends, or even a large group. The food is excellent and the staff at amazing. Our favorite place to go bowling! We just had a fundraiser here for nearly 200 people and they made the coordination and logistics so easy.

The food stinks and way over priced!!! you cannot hear yourself think the noise level is so high. Update They have made many improvements food is now much better, and new walls separate the bar area from the lanes so the noise level is much better.

Food is not worth the price. Waited about two hours for a lane before calling it quits and went somewhere else. The place is nice, modern, and social, no doubt about it. But the wait, food quality, and slow service brings the experience down a lot.

My girlfriend was trying to get my eyes. Im suppose to be one of the Cullen cousins from the movie Twilight. Im a vampire. My eyes were so cool they were golden orange but wouldnt come out in the picture. Ill try one more for the eye effect.

Decent food and bar, but unbelievably long waits for bowling. Saturday night, supposedly 90 minutes but I waited 2 hours for a lane. I watched 9 open lanes for a party for 30 minutes. Thats a poor business practice.
