Decent alley, makes you feel like you're back in the 90s (just an old school vibe). 40 bowling lanes with $2 Tuesdays that do fill up quickly. The bowling area has (for lack of better phrase) some cheap couches to sit on while you wait for your friends and others to bowl their turn. The place has a pool (billiard) area with a forgettable dull mini arcade next to it. Did not try the food or little bar so I can't give my opinion on it. Complaints related to the actual bowling are that the rental shoes are relatively worn and not comfortable at all so bring your own, and the place doesn't have any ac, just a bunch of ceiling fans so anymore than 20 minutes inside it gets pretty hot and sweaty. The place also does not use digital pads in the alley so take from that what you will. Prices are per game per person, not an hourly rate. 2 people and 2 games with rental shoes cost $28. Not too bad for what you're paying for bowling wise but could definitely improve on some things outside of it being affordable. I'm not a business owner so I can't criticize too much but from a consumer perspective and someone who likes to visit new places frequently, a little new gen renovation and spark would go a long way towards making this alley a go-to spot for more people. read more

Horrible! Made me wait a week for someone to come out then tried to shake me down with an outrageous price. Then a snotty "monica" seemed to enjoy telling me that she was going to charge me $70 anyway despite them trying to take advantage of a single older woman in need!! read more

Shitty website lacking information, a shitty pro shop, and shitty lanes that are not properly oiled. It is a great experience if you are into shit. Let's not forget the bar, home to 38 species of spiders, rats, and roaches due to inactivity. read more

Worse alley, I've ever bowled a tournament in. It's hard to believe there were so many issues with the lanes. 1st pair. Dropping pins. After Bing moved. The score was not registering. This was on Fri night. Come back Sat and on other end of house. Same thing was moved twice. Had to go to the desk every frame. No way could anyone get any rhythm. It's totally ridiculous. Spending money to bowl and to get this type of service is unheard of. read more

Omg What can I say I was there to get away for Mother's Day's weekend and stumbled across this establishment in it was not a bad idea I had a blast for hours food drinks drunk bowling and yo much fun shooting pool The black woman is the employee of the month she was very nice beautiful soul always made sure to make you feel very happy and welcome I wish I would've known her name because she is a Great happy person to be face of the desk The bar and food court has a great selection I know if I come back I'll be staying in the area again and will be bad for all the laughs and great memories read more

Bowling, Birthday cake, and good times! My son wanted to go bowling for his birthday so I stop in KingPin to see about renting lanes. Once I got in though, I saw that they have party rooms that you can rent for a more intimate setting. So this is where the story gets a little strange for me. I was first greeted and trying to get information about the party room from Eric. He seemed reluctant to give such info, kind of bs'ing me. So after a few minutes I dealing with him I got somewhere with getting a name to talk to someone above him. I started to leave when the person he said I needed to talk to walk past me. I spoke to her, Mary, about what I wanted. She graciously help me and made it seem as though he could have done what she was doing instead of being.......... Eric was trying to tell her some bs policy he was told about booking a party the day before. He almost caused them to miss out on some money. Oh well, Mary got it straightened out. Well the time of the party was met. They provide a Party Coordinator, to oversee everything from issuing out bowling shoes, setting up lanes, ordering the food, and whatever else they can assist with at the bowling alley. Our guy, Dave, did a wonderful job at that and was friendly and helpful the whole time. The bowling lane that the kids bowled on had a light issue where the pins sat. The guys came and fix it after pausing the bowling for like 5 minutes. They just added time that the kids could bowl longer. I wanted to rate this place lower but I'm not going to be pretty because of one person. Everyone else was awesome, the party set up was what I expected, and the food provided by them was really good. If you're looking for a place to have a big gathering, this might be a good option to look into. read more

Very good time on Saturday night was super busy but what can you do...definitely need more hours for pr

the pizza was good but it has a slight reminence of piss but otherwise it was a really good time and we hope to come back but we hope that the pizza is better this time read more

Popped in tonight because I woke up and said I wanted to bowl. WELP! That went out the window because there were literally ZERO lanes available. We decided to sit at the bar and wait for a lane to open and they were having a beef and beet fundraiser at the bar so even the bar was packed! And they said they weren't serving food as they normally do at the bar. We got 2 different prices for drinks from 2 different bar tenders and when we walked up to order pizza we were informed they were out of pizza....HOW ARE YOU OUT OF PIZZA AT A BOWLING ALLEY!?!?!? ::sigh:: Well, we tried.... read more

Its December 27, Tuesday they have 1 poor woman working the desk. We counted up to 10 empty and have been waiting for over 30 minutes. Luckily we got something to eat and the food was amazing. I highly recommend the three cheese hamburger!!! Place is clean but poorly managed. read more

Good place for bowling. Pizza is good when they have it (they ran out before 8:00pm on a Monday). Couldn't order a quesadilla either because the kitchen staff cleaned the flattop grill before the kitchen closed (why?). Drinks are cold and appropriately priced. read more

The lady at the front desk on Thursday night angel is absolutely amazing!! Me and my wife absolutely love coming here on our date nights when she's working! She goes above and beyond for her customers and you can tell she puts her all into her job! She makes our night so much fun with her energy and personality! Keep being you girl ur amazing!! Give that girl a raise! Sam and Cortnee read more

I lost my phone and I thought I may have left it there. I call and the front desk person answered me before I could say anything. First off I use to work there and I know where the lost and found is. This girl straight up said I dont have it without even taking a look. That place is straight garbage. To too many family members working there and they dont even own the place. I gues cheap labor isnt hard to find read more

Stopped here on our visit to AC since it was raining & it was a pretty nice alley. Nice leather seats while you wait to bowl. Food came out fast & was decent, service was fast & staff was polite.. Price are very reasonable we will return again on our next visit read more

The service is so horrible it's ridiculous, I went with my family to play and I went up to the front and I asked the girl with glasses how much she told sus but then after she said if we decided she was said well the time starts right away so if everyone isn't here then you wait, so I was like oh ok I guess I didn't see nothing wrong but then we told her our shoes sizes and she got my daughter size wrong and we went up to get a right size and she was pissed she told us we should know the kids size and we went to sit down I went back up and told her I need to speak to the manager and that was worse the manager acted the same way as the girl like I've worked in customer service all my life and wow the rudeness from both of them and they way they talk to you oh my then they try to say that there was a big group there and it's was to hard for them like if you can't handle all that then don't work there and don't blame other people for how you act. When I walked away the girl at the podium who originally was the girl we spoke to who gave us attitude stuck her middle finger at me I just smiled and walked away, I would never come back and I will tell people your better off going to a park and not waste money there a one star isn't enough negative stars is better read more

Too cool.... They only complaint I have is a bad reflection on the lanes from the television sets makes it hard to line up the ball.

Visiting the area during the winter and needed something to do with the family. Old school bowling alley with arcade, bar, food, and pool tables. read more

Best bowling center in the Atlantic City area! I am only leaving four stars because their pins are inconsistent. Some of them are QubicaAMF AMFlite II, but some of them are foreign branded, either Switch, SE, or Linds. If you are a serious bowler like me you can avoid this problem by getting a lower lane. I had no pin problems on Lane 3 but did have some on 25 and 26. read more

Had a great time , the lady that helped us was friendly. We did the hour , great price . Nice and clean

This place sucks. After being told the bowling alley would be empty at 10, and us arriving then, guy at the register was getting hostile with my friend (who is a girl) and was being absolutely nasty and told us there is nothing open. Man with the beard was an absolute asshole. There were many lanes open and he continued to say we can't bowl until 40 minutes later when we were about to leave. read more

Valerie was incompetent and rude and yelling at our party for all of our balls getting stuck for 15 minutes and daring to ask for a 15 minute extension. read more

After attending here a few times, and then trying else where, I now realize that the lanes at this bowling alley are one of the best oiled lanes in the area. They maintain their lanes and customer service has improved tremendously. Great job, changing my review from a 3 to a 5. I do believe in second chances and you guys earned it. Wonderful job read more

They're racist they didn't let us play. They said they were social distancing but they weren't because the tables are close together.

This place is disgusting. And yes it IS still ghetto. The prices are outrageous. The last time I came here, no joke I spent $50 on 2 games, a pair of shoes, and 2 beers. That was JUST for me! And that didn't include what I spent on food, which was abhorrent, or the $10 a game they charge for the pool table. And when you're waiting an hour and a half for a lane (seriously), what is there to do besides dump your money into whatever else you can find to occupy your time?! Bowling is supposed to be a CHEAP, fun night out! This place nickel and dimes for every blessed thing, and there's really no need. Honestly, there's straight up trash hanging out here, unsupervised (by their parents OR management), all the time. I'd rather walk down Pacific Ave at night. Alone. In a miniskirt. read more

Went on a Monday and it was pretty empty, however they put everyone right next to each other. Right after we finished our games, there were people right behind us trying to take over our spot already. These people literally couldn't wait, they sad down before we even got all our stuff. There were all these other lanes open but they had to squeeze people in one area. The food here is expensive and they taste nasty. Not worth it. read more

Doesn't Lori's review seem like it could work for just about any bowling place? (Besides the butt shaking). Haha- this bowling place is great. We went on a Friday night and got there before 9 so that we could get a discounted price for bowling. (Check the website for that). The lights-out, pump up the music doesn't start until 10, though. The price was right, and the pitchers weren't bad. $8.75 for a miller lite pitcher, which means that beers were about $2 each. They are very trusting here, though. You don't need to swap in your shoes for theirs and if you play pool you keep track of your games and then let them know how much to charge you. Pool room is pretty big- at least 10 tables- and filled up pretty quickly, although they left 3 tables covered. That, also, was reasonably priced. Seems like a good place to take the kids- especially with those early bird prices for a Friday- or to hang out. read more

I played 10 dollars to join a group and I couldn't play with them so I has to play again. Then the gate broke. Don't waste your time!

The Bowling alley is fine. People are friendly. However, don't rely on the Pro shop. It's not run by them, and the shop just opens whenever they want. On King Pin's website it says they open at 6pm Tuesday through Friday. Well I showed up Tuesday at 6, and their closed sign is up stating they'll be back at 7:30p. I call the number listed for Jeff, and left a message. Go back at 7:30p, and the shop is still not open. read more

This place has definitely improved inside since it's been redone. The bowling is a lot of fun, with plenty of room for a large group to share a lane or two. And, in my opinion, the price is reasonable as bowling alleys go. I was in here to play pool the other night, and it was great. It was a Friday night, so it was busy but not too packed that we couldn't get a table. The tables and the overall area itself should be cleaner, but it's still much nicer than some of the seedy pool halls I've been to not far from here. Their food is mostly so-so. I do like their pizza, but everything they serve is pretty much frozen junk that's been reheated. The bar area is great! I always say it would be a good place to watch a game. Someday I will actually come and do that. For a bowling alley, the beer selection isn't bad and the prices are a little steep but not out of reach. Parking is abundant, and I usually go to the back lot where it's a little less crazy. read more

Me and my friends came to bowl, we were told it was a 20 minute wait so we sat down within feet of the guy doing shoes and we ordered food and sat down, not once did they call our name for a lane and when we went up and asked if it was our turn soon they said that they had been calling our name for over an hour( we literally were only there for 30 minutes at that point) and that they couldn't take us cause it was to late and we couldn't bowl even though we sat and waited and spent money on food , it was very unprofessional and I was very disappointed read more

Lanes are always oiled professionally. These guys take the cake for league play, beef and beer benefits, and birthday parties. All employees are inviting and helpful! read more

Was here for my girlfriends birthday celebration. Beginning was fine, paid for 5 people to bowl with a pizza and soda. Didn't see our soda for an hour. Pizza was given away to someone else, when I asked where the hell our pizza was they demanded my receipt and then remade it wrong. Woman behind the counter refused any responsibility. Pathetic customer service. Never again. read more

My coworkers and I from Canals in Mays Landing came to bowl on Thursday night. It's very clearly stated on multiple platforms what the business hours are. Yet when we arrived after closing our store at 10, we were disappointed to be told they were closing at 11, and would "allow" us to roll one game. Look I get it slow Thursday, but don't list your hours and not stay true to them. read more

Great time, reasonable prices! We came with a large group and were accommodated within 5-10 mins. Would definitely go back again.

The place was super-crowded when we went on Sunday at around 7p but we were still able to get a lane within about 20 minutes. We passed the time in the arcade - I finally learned to play Dance Dance Revolution with hubby's help and he got to enjoy watching my tushy bounce around. ;) They charge peak prices on Sunday - we paid about $30 for two games each and shoe rentals. The selection of balls was terrible as was their condition. Most were heavily gouged. The lighter balls all had holes that only a child could get their fingers into and the heavier balls (14+) were drilled for Andre the Giant. The bar at least had reasonably priced drinks and there is plentiful parking. read more
