Dom, Jenna, and Taylor all deserve a shoutout! I didn?t expect to get such great customer service and attention from the staff.... They kept checking in on us to make sure that our big group was having a good time. Read more

Great service, quality bowling shoes, clean, and works well for young bowlers and.boethday parties. Had to bowl with a party of... six on one lane which was slower but ok. They did have various levels of assistance for young bowlers. Read more
We joined Bowl America on the family plan for the summer and, honestly, it was a great investment! For a nominal amount of... money, our family got to bowl up to three games per person per day and shoe rental was included. We will do it again in a heartbeat. The staff at Bowl America, particularly Walid and Brenda, are just plain great people and the alley is well maintained.The food is pretty darn good and reasonably priced and they have great beer deals for the adults. we have thoroughly enjoyed oursummer at the alley and plan to make it a regular destination for fun from here on out. I still suck at bowling, but I love it! Read more
The bowling itself is fine. Dated, but I don't care about that. What bothers me is some of the staff, especially the food staff... and quality. I had two employees sigh when I asked them when the food stand is open. They responded with "Ugh... Give me sometime. I just got here.". They opened at noon and didn't open the food service until 1:15. The guy at the food counter didn'twant to be bothered. When asked if he was ok, he said he was working on his day off and didn't want to be there. When the foodcame out, oh boy... Our grilled cheese sandwiches were RANCID. Our nachos were BURNT. Our nanny who came bowling with us threwup when we got home. This place really needs to work on their food quality and attitudes of their staff. There was a young ladythere as well and she was great. Kind and courteous. Read more
Not a terrible bowling alley. It's very very dated if you go inside - the TVs and consoles all look like they've never been... replaced since the 80s. It was a little strange feeling, but also kind of a cool throwback compared to the modern bowling placesthat have crazy animations and stuff all over the screen. This place wasn't about any of that - just good simplebowling. Speaking of, the actual bowling itself is quality. Good lanes, decent balls and rental shoes. Staff were friendlyenough as well. They also do 9 bucks for all you can bowl, which isn't a bad deal at all. Overall, this is a place I couldrecommend. Read more
It?s an average bowling place. Nothing special. I think it is a little overpriced especially the food. Everything looks like... it?s from the 1980?s. Even the machines are old. The place needs to be renovated and updated. The pins get stuck in the middle.And you can only have either bumper guards up the entire time or no bumper guards at all. There is no in between.

I brought my daughter here twice in one week and was turned away both times. One Thursday evening and Sunday minutes after they... opened. Both times I was told they were sold out and had leagues taking up the rest of the lanes (which were completely empty).At 1206 Sunday there were 3 other lanes being bowled in and I was told they were sold out. As I sit in the parking lot writingthis review I am seeing several groups of families go in, get turned away and drive off. If you're in a league this might be agood place but if you want to bring your family, I wouldn't waste your time. Read more
