    dirty bowling shoe
    Sophia N.

    Came here with a few of my friends. Staff at front desk were rude and unwelcoming. We hadn't been to this specific location before and had questions but the guy behind the counter looked incredibly annoyed and had a bad attitude for anything we asked. The wait time given was super vague; they said something like a few minutes to an hour which okay I guess but when we arrived there were more than a handful of lanes opened so it didn't really make sense. We ended up waiting 20 or so minutes to be called to the front for our lane which was fine. But then disaster struck. To mine and everyone else's horror, we were handed the most filthy, rancid shoes we've ever laid eyes on. Not even exaggerating. You can totally tell the back and side part of the shoe (around heel/ankle area, pictured below) was supposed to be white, but it was covered it this thick yellow-brown layer of dirt so it wasn't really white at all. When you put them on they were greasy and smelled as well. None of us were expecting like new shoes or anything but come on man at least clean the shoes between customers. This is unacceptable and disgusting. After we put on the bacteria ridden petri dish shoes and sat down at our lane, we realized this place was more for retired hobby goers and people who are trying to be professional than it is a family / friends establishment. Majority of people there were 40+ year old guys that had professional shoes and custom balls they brought with them. Which alright fine I know they can't control who walks in or whatever but idk the vibe felt more judgy and unwelcoming than it did a fun entertainment type place. The bowling balls weren't clean either and had finger prints and dirt covered all over and inside the holes too. We brought disinfectant wipes with us thankfully but when we cleaned the outside & inside all of our wipes turned black. Like come on guys would it be that hard to invest in some sort of spray for the sake of basic hygiene and customer safety? Geez. And to top off the actual bowling experience the ball return didn't work half the time. Don't bother asking the staff to address it either because they'll just tell you "it'll come back eventually" and walk away as you're standing there like an idiot wasting the time you paid for waiting for a ball that will never return. As for the food and the drink options you're better off getting a meal at Chuck E. Cheese than you are going here. Beer was super watered down, probably to cut costs. Pizza was as unimpressive as the $3 off brand frozen pizza you'd find at your local grocery store. Mediocre and over priced. And as for the bar / pool table area it was totally empty and not running at all. A staff member explained that they don't serve drinks at the bar anymore, just at the food truck window thing they have there. And the pool table wasn't even functioning. Not that I would've wanted it to be anyways, as it was covered in mystery stains and more filth. This place is a bacteria ridden nightmare. Save your money and go literally anywhere else.

    We choose to have a Birthday Party even is far away from us but it is because the level of the service is superb!!! Evelyn and K.T, the hosts did a fantastic job to make sure the food and beverages are always covered enough for the teenagers

    Had a great time celebrating our Graduate, class of 2025 . K.T. and and Evelyn took really good care of our party. We most definitely come again. 5 stars

    No no and more no. Went here a couple weekends ago and it was soooo freaking loud. I couldn't even hear the lady over the music and her mask on. Walked in and they take walk ins which is nice, but boy is it pricey. It was $8.99/game per person. $5.99/shoe rental. So you're looking at $100 for 4 people for 2 games. That just seems absolutely nuts to me. That's not even including food. We got our shoes and they look like they haven't been replaced since the bowling alley opened. They had divots in the heels and overall just worn. I swear the lanes are tilted. Every ball we threw down the lane went to the left. It was astonishing. There were no balls. Couldn't find any size XL 13 pounds. Like 1 in the whole bowling alley. Anyways, won't be back.

    Getting the summer pass makes this location such a bargain. Daytime hours are better for casual games and be prepared to wait on Fridays-Sunday late hours this place get busy really fast. The Norco location has a pro shop and there is an In N Out in the same parking lot which can make getting in from Hamner Ave a chore, it's always advised to enter via 2nd st by the car wash

Tons of parking and at 1pm on Sunday, a good amount of seating. We ordered the regular size nachos, with beef, Philly cheesesteak sandwich, a watermelon vodka lemonade and a Bloody Mary. Everything came out quickly and well made. The nachos were a bit spicy, perfect for me, a bit much for my BF. The nachos were great though because they put all the fixins on the side. The potato chips that came with the sandwich and the nacho chips, were freshly made and crunchy. Great lunch and fun vibes. Will come back again for the potato chips

Both visits had the same issue: the group next to us had no sense of bowling etiquette, and it was never addressed by staff. Their parties were oversized and ended up spilling into our space sitting in our seats, placing drinks on our table, and generally taking over the shared area. On top of that, their kids repeatedly came over to our lane, touching our tablet and interfering with our game. It made it really hard to enjoy what we paid for. What made it worse is that both times, the groups next to us were visibly drunk. That kind of environment might be expected at a bar, but when it starts impacting other guests' experience especially families it becomes a problem. There didn't seem to be any staff intervention to manage the situation or maintain a respectful atmosphere. Another frustrating point was the check-in process. I brought my own Brunswick bowling shoes, but I was still told I had to rent a pair anyway. The employee even said I could "just do whatever with them," which honestly makes no sense and feels like an unnecessary charge. Policies like that don't feel customer-friendly. To be fair, Big Al's is a fun place overall. The arcade games and general hangout vibe are great, and I'd still come back for that. But the bowling experience itself just isn't worth it based on what I've experienced. There's definitely room for improvement staff should be more proactive about enforcing basic bowling etiquette, making sure groups stay within their assigned seating areas and respect neighboring lanes. Better monitoring, especially when alcohol is involved, could help prevent disruptive behavior. Clear limits on group sizes per lane, ensuring kids stay within their own lane, and revisiting the shoe rental policy for guests who bring their own equipment would all go a long way in improving the experience. There's definitely potential here, but the bowling side needs better structure and oversight.

One thing I just didn't like was there was literally sooooo many lanes open and they made us all squeeze in one side of the room. I mean I get it if they were busy but wtheck. They should've spread everyone apart to give us all some comfort. I get it for a restaurant if they have one server and we all have to be scrunched together but this made no sense. Another thing is that it is super expensive. The food is pretty expensive. I got one flat bread (not even a full pizza) and a large fries and two extra dips. It came out to almost $30. For two games and 2 pairs of shoes it costs almost $70. I guess that's how much bowling is nowadays. It does get busy during the night during weekends, but they do have a half off weekday special and isn't as busy during the mornings. Their arcade set up is pretty big I didn't even bother playing that bc who knows I would've spend another $50 on just games. The area kinda sketch, just beware of your surroundings.

Some holes scale up in difficulty while others are quite straight forward. Overall this was a great time and excellent way to spend time together with a friend.

When I repeated my request, I was told, "We're trying to make a profit." That response was unacceptable. After spending money there, being treated like a problem over a cup of water was disappointing. I was eventually given a very small cup. I also ran into a friend who mentioned the service here is consistently bad, so this doesn't seem like a one-time issue.
