I am a local high school coach. We took a group of the kids bowling and they had a fantastic time. The parents were also so impressed. The pizza was delicious. Thank you for making our "team bonding" event so successful!! read more

Friendly and had light balls for us oldies with big holes to accommodate long lovely nails without breaking them!

The Hubbys and I favorite place for a date night. Used to be pretty busy with league where you couldn't get a spot until late, but now you can go anytime. $6 a game which is pretty fair. Workers are kind to help. Food is decent for the bowling alley and alcohol prices are good. Best bowling spot in OC read more

My brother-in-law came to bowl on Wednesday. He was feeling hungry mid game and decided to get some cheesy fries. We were expecting a plate of fries loaded with cheese. The food was brought over and the cheese is on the side? Now what da heck is this? I am unimpressed. I am concerned that people aren't getting good cheesy fries. The pictures speak for themselves. Be prepared for a sad, boat of fries with a lil cup of cheese on the side. read more

This is my local bowling alley. Took me and my girl here many times. Lately the service has been bad. They keep hiring young people that do not want to work, and intermingle with customers. But I still had a good time. Just wondering will I continue coming here. read more

The man at the front is very rude and arrogant Otherwise this was a pleasant experience and the other staff was very nice read more

Thursday night. Packed place and the children working the front leave the older employee at the snack bar by himself while they just gossip. 26 people in line and they are buying snacks from the machine with the security guard instead of helping the only adult in the building. Terrible Bald guy was working his butt off!! read more

I started bowling in September 2024 and have joined a League here, bowling on Tuesday nights. This place has become one of my absolute favorite places to come and enjoy myself. I have met so many amazing people and I've learned to bowl from the generosity of people just offering mentorship, tips and their life experiences. I've met new lifelong friends, for sure! Bowling is truly addictive. The Fountain Bowl staff are all amazing and friendly including Will, Kaiden, Ron, Manny, Huy, Jenny, Bill, Nolan, and Matthew, The bowling center offers food and a pro shop. Parking is easy. Please visit and create your own experience. read more

Great spot for a chill night out. Lanes were clean, everything worked well, and the neon vibes added a nice touch. We had fries and a pitcher of beer -- tasty and reasonably priced. Staff was friendly and service was quick. Perfect place to hang out, bowl, and snack. Will definitely be back! read more

Plenty of parking. Very reasonable prices for bowling & rental shoes. Tons of lanes & clean. Felt very nostalgic. There is also a bar inside in case you have to wait for a lane to open up. read more

Fountain bowl is very fun and have reasonable pricing. Great for a date night or family fun day. This bowling alley is very old it doesn't have all the fancy new things like some of the other bowling alleys but I would come back here any day a good time is a good time. read more

The manager Hai, was ridiculously rude and unprofessional. When asked to speak kindly he erupted in anger. This was over a conversation where I said 10.5 men and he heard 10. It didn't need to escalate. But he chose to follow me to the lane and continue to raise his voice with a child near. I get it's cheap lanes but come on. No need for this aggressive or inappropriate behavior read more

I come to this bowling alley every summer and let me tell you something.... I love this location because they are professional and very accommodating. As someone who works with disabled high school students, I always appreciate when people are patient with my students and this population as a whole when in public. Every time we come to fountain bowl they are quick and accommodating with the lanes. I also have to rave about the food court. There are times when we come in with so many orders and they are patient with our students as they order their food. This will always be always be appreciated. Not to mention the food is amazing. Their breakfast burritos are a personal favorite. If you have a special needs child and are looking for activities this is the place to go. read more

So I took my 3 nephews here hoping to have a good time. My kids are around 3, 7, and 8. The worker refused to put the kid bumpers up for my 7 and 8 year old and it was their first time going bowling. So I ended up paying $20 a persons so my kids could try their best but pretty much throw a bal in the gutter. Employees of Fountain bowl, please be better. Kids come here to have a good time and make memories. My 2 kids will probably never want to bowl again. read more

I come here once a month to bowl. The pizza here is pretty darn good for a bowling alley. Can't go wrong with the basic cheese quesadilla or a grilled cheese. Warning on the bean and cheese burrito though - it's made with some kind of chili bean sauce crap so I won't eat that one again. read more

Brother was called an A**hole today by assistant gm. Extremely disappointing experience. We spend on avg $200 a week here and have been regulars for the past 4 months. My brother's brand new personal ball was damaged by their machine a few weeks ago. When we brought it up, they told us to leave the ball so they could fix it the next day -- but it wasn't fixed. We let it go, assuming it was a one-time mistake and let it go with the damage. However, when we returned this past Sunday, his ball was damaged again by a different machine. We asked for help once more, and by Wednesday, after calling to check, it still hadn't been fixed. When my brother expressed frustration and simply asked if there was some issue with him, one of the staff members called him an "asshole" completely unprovoked. Only after asking to speak with the manager did we finally get an apology and a repair. It should never take that much effort or disrespect to get basic customer service. Would not recommend this place--especially if you bring your own equipment read more

Great place for a hang-out! The lanes are clean and the staff rocks! Most nights we've caught had lanes that were open from $4 per game to $6 depending on the night and the time of the week! Shoe rentals are available too with plenty of balls to choose from. There are league nights so I suggest you call first. Don't wait, just go and enjoy the game to make some turkeys! read more

Fountain Bowl - Strike a pose! - Bowling Near Me - Fountain Valley, California

ero stars if I could. This place is a complete rip-off. They charge $6 per game and $35 an hour, so for two people and three games I paid $46. My partner got hurt during the second game and got a refund, which was fine. But when I tried to keep bowling, my second game cut me off halfway through and the staff told me I had already "finished three games." That's impossible -- I only played a game and a half. When I asked for help, an employee came over, but instead of fixing the problem he walked me back to the front desk just to repeat the same nonsense. Another employee chimed in with a smart-ass comment about the price as if that explained anything. Bottom line: I paid for three games and didn't get them. The staff was rude, unhelpful, and had zero clue how to handle the situation. Save your money and go anywhere else. read more

literally never left a review before but now here we are where i've never left so angry from a place in my life! hell, i had to download the app to do this! i used to come here often in which what would be unfortunate about it is that service and vibes were great until i'd order the food where it would take ages and ages and ages to get. and when i finally had the chance to speak to the manager about it, he told me "if it's constantly late, maybe don't order food from there." RATHER THAN telling them to do better, he told me to simply not order there. fine. whatever. done deal. but then tonight?????? omg?????? i wanted one last drink before last call but only one of the bartenders denied it. the other bartender could have and wanted to serve me one, but he looked to other for assurance and was told no cause "bar was closing soon." okay. fine. again. whaaaatever. accepted it. UNTIL!!!!! two guys come in saying they wanted TWO SHOTS AFTER THEY HAD CLOSED THE BAR!!!!! but insisted on paying with cash!!!!! bartender who asked other bartender (WHOS NAME IS HENRY BTW!!!!!!!!!) before about my drink, asks again about theirs. and broski said yes to theirs?!?!?!?!?! so i couldn't help but be like "so can i get my drink?! respectfully and please?!" MIND YOU... I WANTED A WHITE RUSSIAN WHICH IK IS NOT A HARD DRINK!!!!! when i originally tried to order mine, I WOULDVE BEEN DONE WITH IT BY THE TIME THESE GUYS CAME IN TO ORDER THEIR SHOTS!!!!! and so HENRY tries to tell me "no i can't bar is closing and i can't have you take it outside of the bar." and iiiii said "well, i'll be drinking my drink here in this very same spot i've been in since i got here (which was around 6) if that makes you feel any better. respectfully." and he STILL INSISTED ON A NO EVEN AFTER SAYING YES TO THE OTHER GUYS!!!!! WHO PAID WITH CASH WHEN HENRY COUNTED OUT THE BANK WHEN I WOULDVE PAID WITH CARD!!!!!!!! AND AFTER BEING TOLD NO CAUSE OF TAKING IT OUT OF THE BAR, THE GUYS WITH THE TWO SHOTS TOOOOOK IT OOOOOUUUT OF THE BAAAARRRRRR!!!!! but anywho, i wasn't even asked what drink would it have beeeeen or how i would've paaaaaid, it was just a flat no. which was very very very very very angering and NOT RIGHT TO DO! also! i only had three drinks before i was attempting to order my fourth WHERE I FELT FINE!!!!! HENRRRYYYYY KEPT STUTTERING AND NOT GIVING ME A VALID REASON AS TO WHY HE WOULDNT SERVE ME A DRINK!!!!!!! so all in all, i won't name who the other bartender was cause he was already put in a VERY uncomfortable position but he is immaculate and is the only reason why to get drinks at the bars. but HENRY!!!!!! H.E.N.R.Y.!!!!!!!! YOU WERE WRONG!!!!!! SO VERY WRONG!!!!!!! P.O.S!!!!!!!! ik fountain bowl certainly won't care about this!!!!!! hai is a terrible, horrific, and unprofessional owner and manager!!!! and i was drinking with a friend so no denial is accepted whatsoever!!!!!!!! edit: because i was curious and read some more reviews! seeing that hai WHO IS SUPPOSEDLY THE OWNER AND MANAGER stays in his position when he gets A LOT OF BAD REVIEWS is disappointing when i've seen better people run it or someone definitely 1000% kinder can do better for the business. for shame truly! read more

We went to celebrate a birthday without booking. We were told we only had an hour and a half before being kicked out according to them. Tried to order a pizza for the kids and they said it would take 2 hours to do so. So I quit in the pizza and ordered chicken strips and fries....they came out and they gave them to the lane next to us no questions asked. My kids didn't get their food because the kitchen is clueless to people who order it. Than tried to get beer for the adults...the keg was out and we were served a partial pitcher of flat beer. And for their famous liquid marijuana shot they were also out of pineapple. This place sucks now! Horribly run by the manager that came over to yell at me and say it wasn't the kitchens fault that they delivered the food wrong. 10/10 wouldn't recommend! read more

We came on a Sunday pretty full. 6 games for $24 for seniors. Not sure if discount is everyday or weekends or Sundays, but we'll take it. We threw a ball trying to start the game, but the lane went haywire. We ended up having to change lanes, but our ball was stuck in the abyss for a whileeee. We ended up getting food since we were getting hungry. It was all decent and to be expected from a bowling alley. I obviously wouldn't come here for the food though. -Chicken strip combo. Dr Pepper -Burger with ketchup and pickles combo. Unsweet iced tea -Original sauce wings -Fiesta nachos with no beans We had a good amount of issues here in our 4 games (bought another game and another game after that), but it was cheap and can't complain about that. I would recommend for price. It was worth the price. read more

I used to love practicing here and decided to join a league. Management made a huge error in judgement by putting tables in the bowlers' area and worse, serve food and drink at these tables. Guaranteed sticky approaches at some point in the night. Food should be at the back concourse area only. I'm never bowling league in this house again because of this. I don't want to blow out my knee because my foot stuck while bowling. read more

Good overall but on land 15, 3 of our balls never came back. It was very frustrating. The bbq burger was good read more

The ownership of this bowling alley is terrible. They are just content to let this alley run into the ground. This alley used to host one of the biggest PBA tournaments of the year. Now a days the pins aren't calibrated and the pins also are missing chunks off of them. You tell the ownership the problems and in one ear out the other they just don't care. This bowling alley has one of the highest or the highest in orange county league fees but yet nothing gets fixed. They just don't care. read more

Had a birthday party with multiple lanes, and maybe more kids than adults. The staff was very accommodating to the children, and we all enjoyed ourselves - everyone from the little ones to the adults who brought their bowling bags. Food and drinks were great, reasonable prices. The Bar staff was very welcoming and friendly. We had an issue with the bar bill at the end, but the management very professionally and respectfully fully resolved the issue with timely and prompt communication. My and I had a great experience, and their personal attention to detail in resolving issues makes a very positive impression of this business. I would highly recommend them. read more

Fountain Bowl has great hourly rates which is uncommon in the area, the staff works hard, and Barry in the pro shop is super helpful. Took off one star because the equipment can be temperamental at times. Nevertheless, I highly recommend this place. read more

I wouldn't recommend unless it was the only place open nearby. It's okay to bowl, but the lanes are pretty slow and the service is mediocre. One lady at the front desk was originally very friendly and helped with any questions we had. But later when we asked for 10 minutes extra since we didn't start until later, the guy at the desk had an unwelcoming attitude. $30/hr is not a bad rate but 10-15 minutes were taken up just to reset the pins. Plus, the time starts early and not when you start to bowl. read more

I don't care what anyone says -- I love this place! My bf and I always have the best time when we go here. Service is friendly (everywhere too -- the front desk, the food nook, and the bar!) and their food is great! My go-to order large pepperoni pizza, chicken tenders, and cheesy potato wedges! They play great music and cosmic bowling starts at 11! They have karaoke and my fav IPA (Space Dust) at the bar. It's great time! read more

Fun time with family and friends. Had a great selection of drinks at the bar and they have two pool tables as well to switch it up if you don't feel like bowling the whole night. Overall a great place to come and unwind on the weekend read more

I am currently here with my kiddos and walked into such poor customer service. Guy in the front desk on his phone. If you cannot acknowledge your customers you should not be in the front and maybe better off in the food court. I was told 40$ for an hour and some how I ended up tipping him an extra 15$ sorry but why should they be tip? For pushing 2 buttons? For saying lane 5 ? For giving u shoes? For the poor attitude? For for pointing at the ball I need for my kids? Yes I enjoy this place but let's make it an even better experience. We need people to enjoy what they do not make it seem like this is the worse place to be working. Not cool. read more

When coming in, we planned to bowl for one hour, the man at the front desk mumbled when telling me the price and i believed he had said $35 until I checked my bank and realized it charged me $55! There was cosmic bowling on the menu listed for $25, which we decided to stay and continue bowling under the assumption that it would only be $25 extra from what we've already spent. He charged us $45!!! We told him the pricing menu said differently and he didn't care said there was nothing he could do about it. This is our first time here and honestly our last, their pricing is not accurate and is not worth the experience you receive. read more

So I come here a lot and usually we are helped right away and enjoy our bowling. This time (Wednesday) we were serviced by this grumpy worker who obviously dislikes his job tell us we had to wait an hour and a half. So even though there were plenty of lanes open, we waited at Ozzie's. After the hour and a half we go back and he says he thought we left and it will be another hour and a half-2 hours.... He didn't bother using the intercom to let us know our lane was ready? We ended up waiting almost 3 hours for a lane, and he gave us a lane THAT HAD BEEN OPEN THE WHOLE TIME. We were fortunate for the pool tables at Ozzie's or we would've left. Next time we see this guy at the front desk we'll just make the drive further out to the next place. read more

Went to celebrate a birthday. Bowled during cosmic bowling. TONS OF FUN!! Cosmic bowling FROM 11pm-1am. You should get there by 1030pm to get in line for cosmic bowling. -Could visibly see them sanitizing the shoes. -Friendly staff even during the rush - chicken strips and fries was delicious -rootbeer soda delicious The weird thing was they cut our lane off 12 minutes before time. It felt a little alienating to watch everyone else keep playing and our lane turn off. All in all we all had a good time and I would recommend going for cosmic bowling. read more
