OK so for the record, I do like Bowlero... mostly. My problem with it is just how SLOW the service is. I've been there on a week night and it wasn't quite so busy. A weekend is quite a different story. BOWLING: On a week night, I was able to get a lane right away and the food took a while, but not too bad. I can't get with just how EXPENSIVE this place is though. Like honestly it is pretty ridiculous! Week night was about $7.50/person/game. On Saturday after 6pm bowling is almost $9/person/game and then you pay $5.50 for shoes! That's absurd! And then we had to wait an hour for a lane. We could have reserved it, but it's $120/lane for 2.5 hours. WHAT?! FOOD: When I went on a week night, I got a quesadilla which tasted super great - after I picked out the coarsely chopped green bell pepper chunks. These things were so big they could have been a choking hazard! Like they just didn't even care. Otherwise it tasted great. When I went this passed Saturday, I wanted to order some food, but it was so busy they said food would take about an hour. An HOUR??! What are y'all making? A 3 Michelin Star meal?! No? so WHY is it going to take so long? And why is the food almost Airport prices?! In essence, I need to be with a group of fun people and REALLY want to go bowling to be able to ignore the waiting and the prices. read more

Not worth it. 100.00 to bowl 2 games for 4 people. The alley wasn't full and we had to share our seating area. The first alley they put us on didn't work. They had to move us. It's so loud in there you can't here the counter people or wait staff. If you call for any info no one answers the phones. I wish we would have gone to the one in Odessa. read more

Really chill bowling alley. I'm a terrible bowler but I like to bowl. We grabbed some drinks and had an overall great experience. Very nice staff and the bartender was great. We have had company events here and the food isn't terrible. Been coming here for years but decided to leave a review. read more

Bowlero Midland - Awesome lanes - Bowling Near Me - Midland, Texas

Had a great time!! Thank you Lashanda and crew for the hospitality. Definitely going back for more fun!!!

Go back to free fall bowling pins. String pins ruin bowling. Any place that uses string pins will not be getting business from me.

Save your money and time! Management willing to single out patrons to enforce so called policies. Prices are high at counter and raised game costs is a scam.. BBB has been informed as well.. Expect high price, horrible customer service, broken games and alley issues.. Worth driving to next town for entertainment and cheaper with current fuel costs.. Hopefully this finds future customers before they get ripped off. read more

This bowling alley is so fun! The people are so nice and helpful! The food is really good! The service is so awesome! The vibes are just perfect! So much fun!! read more

These are the worst lanes I've ever bowled. The lanes seemed very dry and old oil remained on them. It's fine for people that don't know but there's no way they can host leagues here. If you have a dynamic ball go elsewhere. read more

We were so excited take our 2 young girls (4 and 3) bowling! My jaw hit the floor when I saw the cost. We came on a Saturday at noon... $7.89 PER PERSON, PER GAME... regardless if it is a 3 year old who *might* score 20 or a legit professional scoring 300, same price. Then add in another $5-something per shoe rental... added up to a whopping $46 for 2 adults and 2 kids (ages 4 and 3) to bowl ONE GAME. Don't get me wrong, this place looks amazing. Very cool... but not worth it. I actually googled the average price of bowling and nationally it's around $2-3 per game... Bowlero is about 3-4x the national average. The customer service is less than desired too. We called to find out if there was open bowling and whoever answered would supply only one word answers. Personally, I'd save your $$. Doubtful we shall return. I believe Cinergy charges per hour per lane. I think we'll go there next time. read more

Wayyyy overpriced. Bowled two games with a friend. Cost was almost $75 for less than an hour of bowling. Can't say I'll ever be back.

The lanes were Great, we love to bowl and this being our first time here at Bowlero in Midland we were surprised with how well the lanes were kept up with. I was able to bring my own balls that I had a blast throwing with. I cant wait to go back. I also ordered food and drinks that tasted good and the service was outstanding. read more

Kinda pricy. Nice arcade. Clean area. I guess the price weeds out the cheaper crowd.

WORST PLACE EVER! had to pay $100 3 3/4 games for just two person for bowling. They only asked my cousin who had his shoe on to wear the shoe they provided, when there were people nearby just playing wearing slides, when he didn't wear it they turn off the game for us and we had to leave before we even finish the 4th game. But they didn't do anything about the people near us who were playing, maybe because they were racist or something. If you are looking for a bowling place the Odessa Cinema would be better which I believe charge around $25 an hour instead of $10 a game. This place is a WASTE of MONEY! If I could rate it any lower I would! read more

GABBY--- Let me tell you about Gabby at the front. Y'all. She's your girl. So friendly, kind, inviting and genuine. We had an amazing experience. Considering it was Thanksgiving weekend and the place was PACKED and understaffed and Gabby still provided the most amazing service. 13/10 read more

Lanes are maintained pretty good. Food and drink prices are absolutely ridiculous and over priced. Would recommend you eat somewhere else before going, will save you a lot. read more

The past few times I have been to bowlero, the staff has gone above & beyond! Great service, clean and fantastic atmosphere! We showed up today since kids were out of school. They were actually closed but the doors were open for an event. They not only welcomed us but we're so accommodating & friendly! Truly appreciate it! read more

Dude. 70 bucks for my wife and me and 3 kids to bowl 1 game? Had to wait 30 minutes for them to come put the bumpers up. Awful experience.

Pretty good experience outside of the indifference of the staff to our stuck ball in the ball return. They have "glow bowl" in the later sessions at night with glowing pins and no lit lanes. We will be back and they have upgraded quite a bit since AMF had this place. One more thing...the bumpers don't automatically go up and down with each bowler, so they either have to be up or down for everyone in the group. It doesn't matter to me....I'm terrible and need them...but if you have a seasoned bowler in the bunch, it may bother them. read more

Bowlero Midland - Lots of big screens to watch tv while you bowl... - Bowling Near Me - Midland, Texas

I must say it looks awesome inside! Nice upgrade. The bartender made perfect drinks. But.....I don't understand why we had to wait 45 minutes to pay out! Waiting in line was a waste of time! They had one register open. Suggestions: have 1 register for check-in and 1 for check-out. Because we had to wait so long, we probably won't be coming back!! read more

We went on a weekend and thought we were paying for an upscale theme park for a round of bowling. When I was a kid, we went bowling because we couldn't afford anything else. I guess since they're the only bowling alley in town, it's like going to Disney. read more

Bowling alley closes at 12 but the bar does last call at 10:45? Bar staff was very rude the girl working the bar ignored us for quite sometime and was not nice at all she tried to last call us before 10:30 but a barback came up and got our drinks for us. Love the bowling just not impressed with bar service, #dobetter #bebetter read more

It took effort to keep a spare plastic ball on the lane. Tonight, this place sucked!!! No oil applied to the lanes at all! Corporate office must be tight on money..... Worst lanes I've ever had to bowl on a league night read more

I was charged twice on my credit card when we went on January 1, 2016 and they have not been able to issue me the refund as of today. I have been trying to get a hold of the manager but either he is on a call, on lunch, or gone for the day. in order to make me feel like I am being provided their service, they take my name and number to relay my problem to the manager but I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A CALL BACK. they also indicated that it can take from several weeks to a couple of months to provide the refund- which in my opinion, takes way too long for a refund of $80something dollars. I am thinking that they used my card and swiped it for a different person's charge. I am so frustrated and will not be coming back here. I will continue to try and contact the manager. --UPDATE: it's been 4 months since our visit and I have yet to get my refund or have the manager call me back. I've emailed, left messages, and still, no response. THIS ESTABLISHMENT IS FRAUDULENT. if you're never going to give me my refund, at least have the decency to tell me, instead of ignoring/avoiding every attempt I make at communication. read more

It's SO much more than bowling!!! Arcade games!! Pool!!! A full bar for adults!! They also have food! Great place for the whole family!!! read more

very unprofessional staff. over charged dont waist your time and money

We were in town for a family thanksgiving and brought our bowling balls. The woman working the desk Wednesday 11/24 at around 4 was amazing, so friendly and helpful. The lanes were in great shape, very clean. read more

I went in to bowlero with my brother in law and father and was told 7.19 a person plus shoe rental for the day. We ask if it was unlimited and the bald manager said 7.19 per person. We said ok. We preceded to bowl 8 games since it was unlimited and enjoyed ourselves along with food and drink. When we decided to cash out, we were told the total for bowling was over $170. We talked to the manager and we were told that would have never happened. And we were charged $80 instead. This was the most misleading business I have ever dealt with. Stay away unless you feel like being ripped off. read more

Took family of four to Bowlero and all bowled one game. Cost was $58 which is rediculous for one game. Had we bowled 3 games which is normal it would have been $160. Draft beers $6.00. At a bowling alley, really. People working there were nice but a ripoff for a pedestrian activity like bowling read more

The lanes were nice and we did have fun but it was terribly expensive. $7.19 per person per game is waaaaaay too high for bowling but I guess it is what it is when you don't have a lot of competition in the area. Will be trying out the lanes in Odessa next time, seems to be more affordable. read more

Nice bowling alley. Only reason for the 2 stars. My husband and i love bowling, are exhausted from moving across country and were very excited to see a bowling alley close to our hotel. We arrived at 10:15 and only wanted to bowl ONE game to relieve some stress of the move. We were told we couldnt because they werent allowing anyone else to bowl anymore. FINE but change your hours, yelp abd the person i called said they closed at 12. What a waist of time and disappointment read more

Absolutely worthless place. We were the first ones in and were given the lanes at the very end to the right. The shoes were almost 6.00 to rent and every game was almost 8.00 per person. We started playing and lane 32 kept freezing and would not restart, so we moved to lane 30. Lane 31 would reset the pins and knock one over after it reset them. After we moved, the employer put other people on those lanes that we moved from. This place is garbage and a ripoff and you should learn from my lesson and stay away. read more

I NEVER give bad reviews, but this place is the worst! Do not even try going ANYTIME during the week to bowl unless you are in a league. This should be posted on their website, or on their door, at the very least. We tried going twice this week and both times were sent away until after 9pm, even though they had tons of open lanes, since we were not in a league. The times listed on their website are wrong as well. We arrived at 3:00pm as their website said they were open, but they did not open until 5pm. The lady at the front counter could have cared less about any of it. We will NEVER be going back. Not that they care. read more

Had my daughters 6th birthday here and it was fantastic! Everyone was so accommodating to our wants and needs. The food was great. The party was a breeze and so fun. The kids had a blast bowling and playing games at the arcade. And for the price you definitely get your money worth and then some. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

Over priced! $3.95 for a small Dr Pepper, then the guy didn't even fill it up all the way! $6.06 for a bottle dos Equis. Staff were all rude. Not worth it! Won't be back. read more

Our family (4 people) has been bowling on Monday evenings this summer for $15.22/person, and usually bowl three games. I must say this place is a vast improvement over what it used to be! However, the music & videos are LOUD and HORRIBLE. Please switch to some classic rock or even country genres. The videos are very...um...suggestive (some almost "soft porn") and certainly not suitable for very young families, which there are usually quite a few of. They are embarrassing to me, a middle-aged person. Our daughter had some kind of a Groupon deal last night, which seemed to be a great deal for (a timed 2 hours), which normally wouldn't be a big deal, however, the pin reset froze on our lane, and it took 3 visits to the front desk and upward of 20 minutes to get it fixed, resulting in our lane shutting off at 2 hours, and our 4th bowler losing out his turn - in the 10th frame. We all enjoy bowling, it's just that there are some improvements or changes that could be made to make it a little more enjoyable... read more
