Fantastic Bowling Alley! While the place appears to be a little outdated, I run into very few issues with the lanes when I come here. The prices are very reasonable compared to some other bowling alleys. Also the Staff is very mindful, and appreciates regular business. One night there was a rude family whose kids kept stepping in front of me. They even kept using my personal bowling ball after I asked them nicely not to. The staff picked up on this without me having to ask them, and came to assist. I was very impressed they noticed! Unfortunately the family didnt stop after multiple requests. When I finally got fed up and left, Bowl America gave me more vouchers for free games than I had even played! Very pleased with the service

Your average aging bowling facility. The staff are great and very accommodating. The balls are fairly rough, it was hard to find a 12lb that didnt have gouges or deep nicks in it. The equipment is the older style small monitors with MS-DOS looking score keeping, no graphics or fancy software. That being said, the prices are fantastic. If youre looking for an inexpensive fun time and dont require all the latest technology, this is a great option. If youre looking for an alley with cosmic lighting, projection screens everywhere and newer consoles, this isnt your spot.

I was shocked when I entered the place, I have never been to such a bowling arena in my life, it was as if Im in 80s horrible simply horrible, the balls were oily the computers were as old as first computer was invented, I will never go again, please dont spoil your mood if you really wana enjoy bowling, the equipment is also faulty lol, that was hilarious the score went wrong, and machine was picking extra balls itself, if u dont care about above mentioned things and u just wana bowl all night for like 20$ two players with shoes, then go,

We enjoy bowling here as a family, and they offer "Blast Passes" that you can sign up for so kids (and sometimes parents) get to bowl for free (you still pay for the minimal cost of shoe rental). As other reviewers state, the decor isnt very up to date. But they have updated their arcade area with a Mario Kart Racing, Pac Man, motorcycle racing, etc. The employees are quite friendly and helpful. When we go during the day its not too crowded. They have bumpers and ramps for little ones. We recommend it!

Bowled league during summer, found the staff was excellent and house maintained very well. Snack bar is excellent, offering foods normally not expected and done very well. Lanes are a challenge with shot changes during league and tournament play. Nice place to go to hang out and watch or bowl. As with any house, call beforehand to find out scheduling of league play.

Had my daughters fifth birthday party here and was great time for kids and easy for adults to manage...which is awesome. The staff was very courteous and responsive. The staff sets the tables, puts out the food and drinks, and we got to sit back and enjoy. Pizza was great as well.

Not the place to go if you want one of those bourgeoisie bowling alleys where they serve sushi and have a live DJ. Most certainly the place to be if you want to bowl several games and maybe throw back a few pitchers of cold macrobrew and enjoy crispy and salty French fries.

Lots of young kids with no interest in bowling, obnoxious families, cramped lanes, balls need to be cleaned, scoring computers from the 80s. Seems like the owners are just trying to make money and dont put any money back into their establishment.

Aside from a few out of place modern arcade games, this place looks like it hasnt been touched since the 80s/90s. Could use a real makeover...on the plus side there are plenty of lanes, its cheap and we had no technical issues with the lanes.

Its your standard bowling alley but the great thing was they had games for only 1$. Also hotdogs for 1$. Only reason I didnt give it 5 stars is because the ball return was super slow. My family had a good time and wed go again.

Friendly staff, and clean, but the decor hasnt been touched since 1980. Not necessarily a bad thing, since everything appears well-maintained, just an observation. Keep your food expectations low and you will be pleased.

Good place for family with kids. If you like to get together with friends and have some drinks while playing or while watching a game this is not the place for you. The only alcoholic beverages they sell is beer.

Bowling Alley is showing its age, but arent we all. Even so, everything is well maintained, and the lanes are in good condition. An even bigger plus - the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable.

Pretty good because they have endless games from 9 - 12, however the place isnt the cleanest or the newest.
