Slow pinsetters - guessing they only keep 13-14 pins back there as opposed to the 20 theyre supposed to so if you throw a strike you dont have to wait for pins to come down. OLD equipment - dont let the synthetic lane surfaces fool you. The pins, pinsetters, and ball return equipment... its one thing for them to be old. Its another to be poorly maintained. Ive had to move lanes because of breakdowns (and birthday parties they forgot about) more than a few times. Humidity problems in the center - I almost broke my ankle tripping over myself sliding. they tried "cleaning" the approach and it made it worse. Yet another time they had to move me to another lane - the humidity causes the approaches to be sticky. Health hazard! For what it is, its expensive. Theyve spent too much money on sound equipment, glow bowling, a new sign, and a poor outside paint job to remember that BOWLING goes on there. And its pretty obvious the owner cares more about maintaining his pizza oven than the bowling equipment. And dont forget that the specials they advertise on their site are almost NEVER valid! If you try to utilize a special within a week of any holiday youre out of luck. Its almost impossible to believe the SAME GROUP OWNS CROSSGATE LANES. Its sad that the worst place within 10 minutes of my house was Milford Lanes, then it closed down, and the worst place within 10 minutes of my house is now Eastgate Lanes. Its why I GLADLY drive a bit longer to get to Crossgate, Ringo, or Cherry Grove.

Eastgate lanes was an amazing time the moment I walked in the door. The front side of the bowling alley was all glow bowling and the other half was normal. The service was excellent from getting greeted as I walked in to being told "have a nice night" on the way out. The food was delicious, I would highly recommend their pizza (which they make themselves). We also had a "pizza fry" which was French fries with mozzerella cheese baked on top. They have a wide selection of food and have just about everything else at the bar. The bartender I dealt with was named Andrew. Not only did he show us a wonderful time but he did so while being courteous and friendly. Eastgate lanes is a family friendly place and I would recommend it to an person or group of people that want to have a good time. I will definetely be back and I stand by my review with only confidence.

It wasnt a very good experience at all . I usually come here all the time and have a great time . But this time I and my family didnt receive good customer service . The girl was rude and wasnt paying any attention to what I was wanting . I had told her I wanted to play 3 games and she had put us down for only one because like I had said before above SHE WASNT PAYING ATTENTION AT ALL SHE WAS MORE CONCERN ABOUT HER PHONE!! So Im most likely wont come back here . This is actually the second time I had a bad experience. I wouldnt recommend coming here .

We were turned away at 8:45pm, along with 4 other car loads of people. They said they were closing due to lack of business. Yet they turned away 4 large (5+ people) groups that left to go to either another bowling alley or to another business. My nephew said "can we never go here again" upon learning we couldnt bowl tonight. What a pitiful way to rub a business.

Good lane conditions for open bowling with my own equipment!! Probably some of the "slicker" lanes Ive bowled on (excluding league play). Only complaint is sometimes balls come back caked with what i assume is grease from the ball return.But i get that at a few other alleys also.(I assume it happens mostly after recent maintenance.)

If I could give no stars I would. Staff was EXTREMELY rude. Young dark haired girl that was "working" was way too busy hanging on some boy than to be bothered with actually working and taking care of customers. This place sucks and I honestly have no clue how it is still open. Needs some new employees.

While bowling at eastgate lanes our alley broke several times (the pin machine) and instead of coming at the situation with an apologetic attitude they approached the situation with annoyance and poor attitudes. I was not impressed... At all.

I bowl in a league here every other Sunday. The staff is always very nice, and ready and willing to assist with anything you need. Food is good, beer is pretty cheap. Just your standard, run of the mill bowling alley.

I go here weekly. Friendly staff. Cheap drinks/food. Great special bowling prices. Just a tip: Their hours at night sometimes vary based on the amount of bowlers.

We drove 30 minutes anticipating on it being open, hence the website said 11:30 and we got here at 10:15. It was not open. My friends and I were not very happy.

Was told to leave after the man sitting next to me(whom I did not know) began to become disruptive. They told me "my party was being disruptive". Unacceptable.
