    It was a rainy Sunday afternoon, and this place was surprisingly empty. They have 16 lanes for Candlepin bowling, and 11 (minus the two that were covered?) pool tables. We were charged $12 per hour for the 2 hours of billiards played, so with the $5 coupon I had printed from their website it was $8 apiece for the two of us.

    I have to give Olindys 5 stars for putting up with my friends. I recently turned older (unfortunately) and thought it would be grand to go bowling for my birthday. I figured I'm 26 years old how many of my adult friends are going to want to go bowling on a Saturday night in December? Answer to this question is pretty much all of them. I thought it would be like 8 of us going bowling and the grand total was 23. I called in advance and booked 5 lanes and when we got there it was a pretty smooth operation. We got pretty loud due to the beer and wine mentioned in the first review, but they didn't seem to mind. Everyone had a fantastic time and I might do it again next year! It cost a little over $200 for 23 people to play 2 strings and rent shoes.

    Just a great classic fun night for the family. Clean facility, accommodating staff. What's better than candle pin bowling in MA?

    Two of my greatest pleasures in life are carpeted walls, closely followed by candlepin bowling, so Olindy's did not disappoint on either front.

    Boston Bowl is a classic spot you'd come to growing up in Boston. We came here for an unplanned…read moredate night and had a great time. You can pay to play as little as one game of bowling, or obviously more if you'd like. If you don't want to bowl, they have a billiards room, an arcade, and AR darts. Plus there's a food spot which you can dine in or bring to whatever game you're playing. Prices are pretty reasonable and they offer certain discounts for students and I believe seniors. It was pretty packed on a Sunday night but we were able to walk in and grab a lane. Food was also good, although a little pricey and took like as there was only one woman behind the counter and two in the kitchen. Despite the wait for the food and drinks, the staff were working hard and did a good job. It was fun seeing my boyfriends childhood spot, and nice to see families and friends gathering around to have some in-person fun again. We also got to catch a glimpse of a bowling league in action so that was pretty cool.

Also, we came in on a week day and bowling is 50% off from 10pm-close. Not sure if it's an every day thing or not. The bowling balls can be a little greasy. My guess is lots of people eat and bowl with the same hand. I would just suggest definitely washing your hands for sure afterwards or if you're concerned, bring wipes! The food isn't bad. I actually enjoyed a nachos! They have jalapeños which added a nice kick. Overall, not a bad place to come for some bowling !

    I used to love this place, but unfortunately it's turned into nothing more than a money grab…read more The bathrooms are consistently filthy, and the staff act like they don't even want to be there. Today really sealed it for me. We came to celebrate my son's 10th birthday, and when we arrived, the internet was down so it was cash only--but there was no sign on the outside door. You don't find out until after you walk in, which already starts the experience off wrong. The manager working tonight (glasses, thinning blonde/gray hair) was incredibly rude and condescending. Zero customer service skills and no empathy whatsoever. He didn't seem to care that multiple machines were broken or malfunctioning: * Air hockey had no airflow and didn't keep score * Connect Four Hoops (red side) was playing by itself * Motorcycle games charged but wouldn't start * Basketball games were missing balls * Several other machines weren't working properly Instead of addressing any of this, he was selectively handing out game cards to other customers while repeatedly ignoring my son--the birthday boy--and our family. While we were waiting for food, he came over and asked whose birthday it was, as if I hadn't already told him earlier. Then he made a sarcastic comment saying, "clearly from the sign on the door." Completely unnecessary and unprofessional. There are way too many better options out there to spend this kind of money and be treated this way. I won't be coming back. 0/10 experience.

    Omg, I wish I could rate this a zero. This was hands down the worst experience I have had there and…read morespent a mini fortune for it. Let's start with our waitress. She was terrible forgot order, left menus, brought over app. Plates when didn't get apps. Took glasses and didn't ask if we wanted more drinks, made us wait 20 mins for the bill and just over all not friendly. Then the food was awful just awful. Granddaughter got dogs in pretzel. They were charcoal inside ,grandson my chicken fingers were tiny 4 small tenders with the bottom of the fries maybe a handful. My husband's food in a giant bowl with a small ass portion of pasta. Just over gross. But it was a late lunch for us so we worked through it Lastly we spent a mini fortune on tickets like serious mini fortune and barley got tickets which is fine but when we went to turn them in there was not much to change In for. Like it all started at 100 tickets. Come on I have 2 kids with me and they couldn't exchange for much a lollipop that was 105 tickets really? What is it 25 cents. I know this sounds ridiculous but if I didn't just drop 200 plus dollars there I wouldn't be so mad. I will not return to your establishment and think that this was just highway robbery. It's unfortunate the experience as a whole was just anything but worth what I payed. Also the guy cleaning the table was spraying 5he tables on stream and it was spraying all over people and he wiped the food off the table onto the chairs. Just yuck. Toilets durty and it wasnt tgat busy apon arrival. No excuse. ​

Recommend signing up for Kings rewards so you get points every time you go which can be converted to crown rewards later on and/or free bowling game or $ to be used towards food or bowling in the future. Have gone here for bowling and food several times and tried different food each time, but the constant orders are potstickers and pretzel that kids love and always ask for.

This spot was new to me, having been built since I moved south, the entire complex was an impressive upgrade to the former Dedham movie theater that used to reside in this location. Kings is deceptively large, with probably 2 dozen lanes, several billiard tables and a small arcade. They offer a decent menu of sandwiches, pizzas and finger foods, as well as a full bar, with a waitress coming by the lane every so often to take food and drink orders. We hd a good time, it was a fun spot and plenty to do, especially on a rainy day. Pricing was a bit higher than I expected, but otherwise my only other complaint, I was disappointed to find it was standard bowling rather than candlepin bowling. If you grew up in New England, you know the uniqueness of candlepin bowling and sadly it sounds like most of those facilities have closed or converted to regular bowling, which is disappointing, especially when you see young kids struggling to lob the larger bowling bowls down the lanes

It cost me 60 dollars for just over a half hr of bowling. I had 5 boys under the age of 12 and myself (the mom). They put us on two lanes. $60 dollars for this place....sooooooooo not worth it. It's so hard to do anything fun anymore without going broke. And again this isn't a top notch bowling alley. It's very old and rustic, which I tend to like in bowling alleys, however, I feel like I got ripped off and Im super annoyed by it too!

It's usually clean and bright, but it looks sort of old. The lanes are in good shape, and the last time the Guru was there, they were in the process of rehabbing their pinsetters. Country Club Lanes has 10 lanes of Candlepin Bowling on one level. There is a good sized parking lot attached to the facility. There is a restaurant attached to the Country Club, but the Guru doesn't know if it is affiliated with the bowling alley. It is a relatively "honest" house (you get what you hit). They do not have games. They do not have pool tables. They *DO* have bumper bowling for children. They do not offer "Glow" or "Cosmic" bowling. They use paper scoring for the public. Country Club Lanes is "smoke-free".
