Just hosted my daughter's 14th birthday party here and it was one of the best parties she's ever had . From the beginning to the end of the event we were always taken care of. The beginning of the process was starting great with the events manager, Jamie .: I believe she was off site but always fast to respond by phone and email. When we arrived we were greeted with smiles by the first hostess., sorry forget her name ., then our party host introduced himself., Jamal .. he was so responsive., positive and smiling ! They had a few tables set up by the lanes and they decorated the tables even ! The girls had a great time with the bowling and shortly after the food was delivered., they have everything served hot and kept hot with warming setups.. the food quality and taste beat my expectations! Everyone loved the chicken fingers and fries of course! I totally suggest this place for a party and im so happy to say that this changes my ideas about bowling alleys ! read more

They need to fix the bumps on lanes. Fyi if you sit on the chair then look at the foul line, you will see the bump/hump on the lane.

I belong to a league here at Strathmore now that airport lanes closed. I Bowled today Friday the 27th on Lane 35 and 36 that didn't work well so we were moved to lanes 41 and 42 at which time the ball return worked off and on complained at least 15 times the manager on this Friday was terrible which held us up for bowling took us over 2 hours for 2 games he waited on a woman ordering food and made me wait 5 minutes why he took her food order and I had to hold up my bowlers to say the bowls were stuck again. None of us were happy. At least fix the bowl returns and get more help only saw the manager working no one less in site. Susan .Friday League read more

Decent bowling alley in a good location (right next to Deninos pizzeria). It's clean, you can find various weight bowling balls, the shoes for rent don't smell funky, and it's decently priced (not outrageous like Bowlero). I had a good time bowling here then having dinner at Deninos nearby. There's a liquor store at the end of the shopping mall too. read more

Pricing is so ridiculously high that it's almost a joke. The lanes are decent but my god I ordered fries and a soda and got charged $18. It's $3 for a bottle of water. I don't ever leave reviews but I was so shocked at how badly they gouge their customers. They shouldn't be able to get away with charging prices like that. read more

Problem is for adults if you go there before 4 PM there are no lights on the lanes. And they dont seem ti oil either.

it's a lovely place, had a great time with my sister! Nice inexpensive day! the staff is very nice and accommodating. only wish is that you can do automatic bumpers! read more

this place over the last few years has gone downhill and bad. every week there is a problem at the lanes. Had THREE pair of lanes break down in one night and everytime I went up to the front desk to check they were sitting their talking not monitoring the situation...this place is trash. they keep raising the fees for lineage and league and beer and yet none of it is put back in to the alley. This place is fucking sad now, it needs SERIOUS....SERIOUS...fucking help I wouldn't bowl here in the near future for anything...far better alleys than this place read more

What can I say about this place? I didn't know that I wanted to be a bowler until I came here. The lanes are amazing, and allowed me to uncover my bowling potential. This is not a joke. This place is legit. Behind the bar is Steven. He is an angel. I don't know what was better- his smile or the incredibly priced drinks. Now let's talk about the food. The sampler will make you question your choices in life. How does anyone think of the combination that the sampler has? And proactively served with a side of ranch? Are you kidding me??? Do not even get started on the pizza. Next level amazing. This is the place that I want to spend every Friday night. And probably Saturday and Sunday. Service is ridiculous. Food and drinks are insane. And the lanes.... Run, don't walk. Seriously. read more

Such a nice and clean place to play some bowling with friends and family, one employee in particular albert, went above and beyond to get us our favorite plate on the menu when they were about to close he was so patient and friendly, would definitely be coming in again soon. 10/10 recommend. read more

10/10 recommend coming here! My go to bowling place. Great atmosphere & I enjoy coming here with my friends

Very disappointed as a guest bowler in this house. Rule of thumb . Bathrooms need to stay clean. I get it that folks are not all clean. However as a establishment, it is there responsibility to be sure to stay up on things. No soap to use to was hands, urine all over the floor. It is bad enough it is a small bathroom. At least let it be a clean bathroom. Being that going to the bathroom was first thing I did coming in. I decided to remain hungry and not visit the snack bar. I am sure they had a league in here this morning. But that is no excuse. read more

On the spur of the moment, 2 days before, my sister decided to give my nephew a small Birthday celebration at this establishment. There were 15 of us ranging in ages from 6 to 50. We walked in and clearly, they were short staffed. The young man initially assigned to our party was clearly overwhelmed and having a challenging time meeting our needs. Then, this Wonderful Yong Woman with pink hair stepped in and took over. Her Customer service was Awesome! She was everywhere doing everything. She got food, drinks, shoes, checked other customers in, tended bar all with a smile and pleasant attitude. The grace she exhibited under what was clearly challenging circumstances was Amazing! She celebrated and sang Happy Birthday with us making sure we were satisfied customers. Linda turned what was surely going to be a one and done visit into a we will Definitely be returning situation due to her Outstanding Customer Service. Thank You for the Wonderful time and Service Linda! See you soon. read more

I just celebrated my birthday by coming here with a group of friends and rented out 2 lanes for the night. got some food, drinks, and even had fun in the arcade! the food was actually really past my expectations considering it's a bowling alley plus the servers were super helpful! It was such an easy and entertaining event that everyone was able to enjoy! even for those who haven't bowled before or aren't that great at it, it's easy to pick up and isn't that competitive (at least my friends aren't!) overall such a crowd pleaser and a really great group of staff at the location! read more

Attended a Special Olympics event at the lanes today and I can't say enough about how helpful, professional, courteous and efficient the staff were. When an issue arose the front desk handled it so professionally and the problem quickly resolved. Loved the renovations! definitely would recommend bowling there on a personal basis. Thank You to all!! read more

The last time I was there was about a year ago, and it was dark, dreary, and depressing. It looks as f they've made some upgrades since then so I may give the place another chance. read more

Nice little local bowling alley. There are plenty of lanes, a very small arcade, a bar and place to get snacks. Prices are average for lane and shoe rentals. This is definitely an older bowling alley but it's in pretty good condition. The fried foods are actually decent here too. read more

I downloaded this app just to write this review . IM A LATINO MALE AND I FEEL LIKE IM BEING TARGETED If I could give this place 0 stars I would . There's a reason your lights on your sign is out, the people at the front desk are driving away your business. Cricket , oh I mean Chris, at the desk is a racist entitled child . I've tried to become a regular here, but he has made this very difficulty . Every time I come , he gives me specifically an issue . Ben, the "manager" was no help . Last week I went I was there , and the lane next to us had bags of Taco Bell , munching away no problem. Today I walk in with a bag of McDonald's and suddenly they have a "no outside food policy" A few weeks ago it was an issue to get an extra lane and they forced my family of 8 to play on one lane . When I asked why can't we split the group up and have the lane next to us, the response was "just in case other customers come in" It was 30 minutes before closing and there was about 15 lanes open... when I mentioned that the response was "i can put customers wherever I want" I do not recommend .... 0 stars read more

Updated review: this place has lots of lanes, so you will likely be able to get one without waiting. However, the oil is extremely hit-and-miss. One day there's a truckload and the next day the lanes are bone dry. Lately, during the summer, they have been extremely dry. It feels like the last time they oiled the lanes was early last MONTH! Also, the clerk at the front spelled my name wrong when inputting it into the scoring system, even though I wrote it very neatly and correctly on the paper that they gave me. read more

Great night time specials. Can bowl for under $30 most nights and the staff is always friendly.

What a perfect place to hold a child's birthday party. Adults and children had lots of fun. The older kids liked the video arcade games, and the younger ones liked the food, especially the chicken fingers. I have been going here for over 30 years, and while many bowling venues have closed, I am grateful that this bowling experience is still here and so close and convenient to where I live. read more

Nice place food is good restrooms are ok bowling balls are ok floor is clean I would recommend it good bowling place if you want a party it is good to go and have it. read more

Got there at 1030 on a Saturday night and boy was It packed. We didn't have any wait though and got right in grabbed two pitchers of beer and started bowling my 15lber down the alley immediately. Place is clean and the people are friendly . Considering joining a league after such a good experience there. read more

Went here once with my family for unlimited bowling night. Staff was rude throughout the whole experience and dishonest at first about prices. The lanes we were assigned (lanes 19 and 20) were malfunctioning through out our unlimited bowling and were not returning our bowling balls back correctly or promptly. The ball return rack remained completely empty on multiple occasions throughout the night. When the staff was advised about this we apparently were the inconvenience. They even shut the lanes off on us before returning our balls. Better off finding another bowling alley not owned by a corporate business like this... do not recommend. read more

this was my second time visiting, me and my bf was in the mood for a drink so while i set up our lane i sent him to fetch us some beers. he returned with only 1 drink and i asked what happened? he said the woman tending the bar said only one drink at a time. we were both confused as we saw the person next to us come back multiple times to his lane with about 6 beers. so i got up and went to Michelle with extreme kindness, and very kindly asked in a soft tone about the policy. i said "my bf was just here and was only given one drink. could you please explain the policy to me as its confusing to see the person next to us come back with a lot of beers". as soon as i was done Michelle went into flight or fight mode and started talking to me in a very hostile manner. she talked to me so defensive and irate that i blacked out while she was talking because i couldn't believe someone was talking to me crazy off of a question i asked kindly. i did not approach her and accused her of anything. at the end of the day she is doing her job and i can not fault her for that so i am very confused as to why she was talking to me like that. i kindly stopped her and i kindly tell her in a normal adult tone that she was talking to me in a hostile manner. i said "hey your talking to me very hostile, please watch the way you speak to me because i did not approach you bad or accused you of anything and your talking to me very defensively" she denied she was talking to me rude and started raising her voice at me saying she id everyone at the lane thats why they have all those beers and its only one drink per ID. she kept on denying that she was talking to me rude at this point there were other people at the bar witnessing her talking to me crazy. so i say to her " you are talking to me very hostile and if you feel like i talked to you rude i'm going to apologize because maybe i'm not seeing me from the outside but you not seeing yourself from my perspective and from my point of view your talking to me crazy". At this point she started to flash crazy eyes at me and just saying "uh uh uh" really fast. you can tell she was talking shit about me in her mind and hoping i would just shut the hell up. she did not apologize and i just walked away from the conversation. my whole night was ruined and i could not bowl good because i kept on thinking about this interaction. my bf advised me to talk to a manger but i did not feel comfortable talking to a manger because someone who acts the way Michelle did probably gets away with her behavior and i strongly believe nothing would of been done especially since she took no accountability whatsoever. i do not plan on returning to this establishment and i hope Michelle seeks the help she needs because clearly she been through traumatic events in her life that at a simple question she goes straight into flight or fight mode. read more

Overall it's a very good bowling ally. Everything is very decent and the staff is nice. I enjoy going there with my family and friends.

Came here on a Tuesday around 5pm. Despite being 2nd in line it took about 10 minutes to be helped. Every ball seemed to have small or extra small holes- unusable for people with normal-sized fingers. The lanes were incredibly oily and the first lane we were put on, every ball did not return. The second lane randomly reset once or twice resulting in scoring issues. The three stars are for friendly service. I don't think I'll be back here. read more

Just wanted a pitcher of beer and the workers (all of them besides the one or two shoe guys) were chilling at the back table. Looked like a fun conversation. Not coming back, Bowlero is the way to go. read more

My boyfriend and I stopped going here about three months ago when they all of a sudden, wouldn't allow us to use our Groupon on a Saturday. Now this had never been enforced before, so we weren't aware of the fine print in regards to this "policy". Mind you, this was maybe our fifth or sixth time here. We had two kids w us and nothing to do Bc the lady wouldn't even allow us to use it and at least just tell us we wouldn't be able to do it another time. It was a new manager. She was really not nice to us. Plus, we drove 30 min to get there to be told this. We even explained it to her and she just didn't care. Most of the workers here don't care about the customers. The only ones I see that are polite are the bartenders and that's probably because they're making good money getting people tanked. Wait time here is absolutely ridiculous even though they have tons of lanes open while people wait an hour or more for a lane. What's up with that? Why can't other lanes be used? It's not like anyone is using them. Then sometimes you finally get a lane and get about an hour of bowl time. Then when you finally get a lane, your right up smack dab in the middle of large groups. Can't they space it out instead of pushing every customer into ten lanes and leaving twenty of them open. It's nuts. The snack bar- complete rip off. It's so damn expensive that it's a crime - highway robbery, I tell ya. The food is regular fried junk food and pizzas and prices that should be in a restaurant not a bowling alley. Snack bar prices suck! Bathroom is generally not very clean. All around, not a top choice. Thumbs down, all around. read more

Had a great time at Strathmore. It was very low key while Covid is upon us. Maybe a total of 5-6 groups on a Friday afternoon. Would definitely come again! read more

Nice bowling alley without any bells or whistles. Not fancy but not dirty, just your average old-school alley. Food isn't gourmet but does the trick. read more

Normally a good experience on Holidays, but very poor service on Dec 25th. The man at the front desk was also "bartender" but didn't know how to operate the draft beer or open a bottle of corona. Girl at food counter was rude and too busy talking with a friend for 2 hours to notice. read more

Absolutely horrendous customer service. I stood in line for a lane for 20 minutes and was completely ignored. The 2 employees were slow and didn't even seem to want to be there. The manager came up to open a register and seemed as if he had absolutely no clue what to do. I left without even bowling after being skipped over twice. Will never recommend read more

This is absolutely the worst bowling alley in New Jersey it's very ugly and unsanitized very scary unprofessional worker very Rude the lady that ring us up watched us the whole entire game that made us feel awkward and the ball boy was telling us how to roll the bowling ball every shot wouldn't leave us alone I will never come back here again called Worse Bowling Alley in NJ by far read more

False advertisement. How could you advertise $8 unlimited bowling but when arriving there are no lanes available. The bowling league took up half of the bowling lanes. Take in note we got there at 9 and deal started at 9:00. read more

We recently had our son's 11th birthday here and everything, from the food to the staff and overall game experience, was above and beyond expectations. Staff ensured our party guests were well taken care off, in terms of food, drinks, comfort, etc. Would definitely recommend having a kid's birthday party here!! read more

Cute little bowling alley in the midst of the dirty jerz. Came here with my cousin and her boyfriend and his friend for some cosmic bowling. Th games are pretty cheap, with shoe rental and 2 games each we paid a total of $72...I need to remember to start bringing my formerly stolen shoes to bowling alleys and avoiding that darn shoe rental fee... One nice thing is your games never time out here. When we were bowling in East Brunswick, if no one went for about 10 minutes, the game would skip people or end the game all together! Here, no worries about that. The drinks here are super cheap, about $4 for an absolut and tonic! Beware with opening tabs though, they're easy to forget, as I learned. Luckily they will put your credit card in the safe for you if you forget it. Not that I have or anything. read more

One of the few places that charge by the game. Usually bowling alleys charge by the hour. This alley has been around for some time and the lane and ball quality seem to show its age. None the less it's a bowling alley the machines that set up our pins messed up alot and we had to reset a few times. It's not the best alley I've been to and could use some improvement. The only reason this is getting 3 stars is the front desk lady was super nice and accommodating. read more

Always a great bowling experience! My children were on a bowling league here in 2012. They still enjoy coming to bowl here whenever they get the chance! Friendly staff, great prices. (And the bathrooms are always clean!) read more
