Came in town to visit my son who attends college in Abilene and stayed this summer for an…read moreinternship...so I took him out for the day with his sisters. There isn't much to do here so we opted to bowl. This place has a variety of things to partake in and the staff are friendly. However, my family loves bowling and it was disappointing that we had to get someone to help us multiple times throughout our game. The bowling balls kept gettin stuck and at one point we had no balls nor did the people in the lane next to us. Another couple of times the lane just took all the pins when we never even threw a ball down or if we knocked down a few it would take them all. We still managed to have fun but it was quite annoying to not be able to finish a game without having to get assistance and then request for time to be added due to waiting for help. The last couple of times we didn't even ask for time back we just accepted defeat.

Expensive! Every game ranges from $2 to $9, our bowling lane kept breaking down (glitching) making…read moreus wait for 7-16 minutes. Cotton candy machine also kept breaking down. Games that did work were fun.

The situation is being handled, the late-night concert vibes should be calming down, and peace may finally return to my ears. So now I'll be making my way over there soon to check it out myself--because nothing says "full circle" like going from slightly annoyed neighbor to curious customer. Stay tuned... I might go in for mini golf and leave with forgiveness and a snack. Or at least quieter nights.

Things were going smooth tonight.I'm TDY here so we got a few drinks this weekend before the…read moreupcoming school week. The staff was friendly up until the point that we were getting ready to leave. We stayed a little past closing (5 minutes) and said that we would be out of there soon. The waitress (Pam was her name I think) came slamming glasses together as she cleaned our table. As she walked away she was cussing, however we didn't know fully what she said. Once we left we decided to stop in the parking lot for a cigarette. She then came outside and said "ya'll get f***ed don't come back b****es". This was verbatim. Myself and a friend went inside to talk to the manager and proceeded to get cussed out by this individual while the manager was there. He continuously stated that it was going to get addressed on Monday, however she continued to talk over him. He then proceeded to defend his employee and her actions due to the fact that we stayed to finish our drinks (that we payed for) a little after closing. Not sure what type of organization is being ran there, but this was extremely uncalled for and beyond professional. Thankfully I'm TDY here for only another month. I feel bad that the manager has to deal with this level of insubordination from his employee's. He seemed like a swell guy, but unfortunately wasn't able to keep his employee from opening her mouth as she continued to cuss us out. I'm normally an understanding person and would sympathize with them due to the fact that we stayed a little past closing. I even displayed moderate sympathy while confronting the manager about this issue, but still continued to get disrespected. This issue will definitely get brought to our commandant's attention and whomever else it needs to get this issue resolved. Again, the place and prices were great, but the personnel ruined the entire experience for us all.

We celebrated an adult birthday at Area 254 with our kids present, and the kids enjoyed the new…read moreplay land. Our group was drinking responsibly, and everyone at our table was an adult. Unfortunately, a security officer appeared to watch one friend, who is about 25, throughout our visit. He eventually pulled her aside to question what was in her water bottle and question her about her age. By then, we all had liquor cards for the pour wall provided inside of the arcade so I guess I'm not really sure why he was so over the top also absolutely no one was drunk as our kids were present. I understand Area 254 has rules about outside drinks and alcohol, and she agreed to put the bottle in her car when asked. What upset us was how the interaction escalated: he questioned her at length, then raised his voice at our table like we are a group of kids. We felt very disrespected , especially since there were several other water bottles on the table that weren't questioned. What could have been a brief, respectful conversation turned into an uncomfortable interruption to our birthday celebration. Area 254 is a place where families and adults come to have fun. I hope management addresses how situations like this are handled so guests are treated with respect while the rules are enforced. We watched him proceed to harass other grown adults that were enjoying themselves. There was a couple drinking at a table and he had a manager pulled over and was yelling at them too ultimately, he just needs to learn his place. You are the equivalent to mall security, you are not top-flight security of the world. Relax.

Perhaps what makes this place great are the people that work there. Zach that works the front desk is always warm, super friendly and always greets me by name when I come in. Josh that Pro shop is a simply awesome and probably the best expert in his field in the area. Bowlerama may not have all the bells and whistles of a newer bowling alley but I can see why so many ppl in Killeen love this place.

Being…read morethat it wasn't cleared on that side yet--all the people that were bowling were on one side of the bowling alley. This would have been fine, but you could only bowl paying by the hour...so everyone being on top of each other slowed the games down. We were barely able to finish one game in an hour following proper etiquette. Guy at the counter was probably tired after whatever was going on that day, but he was a little impatient. They enter the bowlers names for you at the counter--would def be better id u could do it yourself at the lane on the screen. Working the counter at a bowling alley shouldn't be so stressful. Lanes were good. Didn't have any problems with screens, didn't have to reset any pins which was nice. Service at the deli and bar were both slow. Often times they both looked closed. Need more/better house balls. Over all...not a horrible place, but not a great one. Would check out another option next time for comparison.

I think the establishment is nice but definitely could use a lot more help on the inside.
