They have bowling lanes to arcades to pools to VR and anything you can find under the hood. The staff are very kind and helpful and we got great lanes to flex our bowling skills. They even have friendly ramps for toddlers to push the heavy balls to strike the pins. The in-house food was lip smacking and the prices were nominal too. The place is obviously kid friendly and I noticed two birthday parties happening back to back in this spacious arena. We have found ourselves a permanent fun place to return to.

The staff was very attentive to our section they checked in often, took our orders, and brought everything back quickly, even on a busy Saturday night. The bar area is large with plenty of space, and the arcade section is really nice and adds a fun bonus to the visit. The only downside was that the menus didn't have any pricing listed, which made ordering a bit unclear.

The bowling alley and arcade were vibrant and spacious. Loved having a table for food and drinks that also offered storage for shoes at each alley. There are only a handful of lanes. The catered food was satisfying. The drinks had a premium price tag, but I will say the sweet white was delicious and everyone was enjoying them. All the lanes were user friendly and functional, no issues. I did not get a chance to play in the arcade, but I would definitely return to bowl here. :)

Alright let's get into this review . This is a two day review . Place is so big it took me two days…read moreto experience the entire golf course . First went on a Sunday , it was very lowkey and quiet . Didn't have to wait long for bowling and they do not take reservations after 4 pm on Sunday. I've never seen a more detailed and elaborate golf course . It's beautiful ! We had some appetizers while bowling . I recommend the loaded fried chicken fries . Roughly 22 for 9 holes and 44 for all 18 . Bowling was about the same price . They have a restaurant and Photo Booth . They cater to everyone with their mocktail menu for people who don't drink . I recommend the strawberry lemon burst . The following weekend we went to bowl and complete the other 9 holes . It was definitely way more packed on a Saturday but they had a great dj . Be prepared to wait for any activity. Management went around to make sure guest were happy . If you looking for an inexpensive adult hang out or something to do with the kids then you might want to stop in .

On Martin Luther King day, I visited the bowling alley with my four grandchildren I had called the…read moreday before had asked what the price of bowling would be. They told me Monday through Friday it's four dollars a game from 12 to 5 o'clock and five dollars for shoes when I showed up the woman tells me it's not four dollars it's eight dollars and says that she was only told this morning that it would be eight dollars per game. I would like to know how in the world if it's seven dollars every single day because it's a holiday they charge you a dollar more than their regular price I will never ever go back to that bowling alley again, not only regular price but jacked it up for a dollar for what reason greed that's the only word greed like people don't struggle enough and I am a local resident. I will drive 10 miles with my grandchildren to another bowling alley before I ever go there again.

As a casual bowler (meaning 1x per year, if that) Howell's "Land That Time Forgot" Lanes are…read moreperfectly fine. You stand in the shoes of one thousand other bowlers as Dr. Scholl's and your podiatrist passes out and you hurl a shared ball down the lane with all the smoothness and sheen of a meteorite as you share a few laughs and split. Inside, it could be any year from the past half century. Who cares. It's not like there's a ton of options. Growing up in southern NYS, lanes were everywhere as were the multiplicity of leagues and the labor unions that populated them. Now, you take it where you find it. On that score, Howell Lanes works. Four stars for just being there. Sorry Dr. Scholl's.

Meaning ... myself and my two children. I ignored his remark. I was told by an employee that we could not bowl because the high school league was coming in. Confusing because again, it's 1:30 pm with ALL lanes available but OK. I asked the woman working what times they did offer open bowling to the public and she could not answer the question stating, "the times vary daily" Guess they did not want my business. She did an amazing job at making me feel like I did not belong there. 5 stars for that!

It's feels a little odd walking up to an empty bar in what was previously a dine-in restaurant or lounge space to order or pick up your food. And they don't open until 4 or 5 PM most nights. Susan and her husband are from Taiwan rather than Fuzhou - likely a strong influence in the preparation and taste of their dishes. This may also account for the reason why certain items typically found at your average Chinese takeout (i.e. Wonton soup) are missing from the menu. While I was never a huge General Tso's fan theirs is unbelievably delicious and quickly became my top choice. I will occasionally switch to their chicken Lo Mein or sesame chicken which are just as good. An added bonus is that they understand allergies (gluten at least) and will check ingredients if there's a customer concern. My wife (celiac's disease) often chooses their rice noodle soup, tofu and various other dishes and has never had an issue. When in the Middletown, NJ area and you're craving "really good Chinese take out, try this place. You're sure to be bowled over!

I went the day after Christmas with a group of friends and family looking forward to some holiday…read morefun. We had a choice between this and Bowlero and chose this location because it was closer. We probably should've gone to Bowlero. This is a basic low-quality bowling alley still stuck in the 90s and desperately in need of an update. The bathroom had a moldy smell and there were lots of stained ceiling tiles and dust in the air vents. Even the arcade games looked like they were original and the snacks in the vending machines look like they had been sitting there for a very long time. Our ball often got stuck in the lane and the computer messed up our scoring a couple of times. Even the graphics that play after you score is pretty basic. I don't know if there was food which is odd because most of the bowling alleys I have been to people are ordering pizzas and sodas and I didn't see anyone eating. There is a bar that serves alcohol but given the condition of the rest of the place I personally wouldn't have a drink there. Selection of balls was also minimal and I made sure to thoroughly wash my hands after we played because I'm afraid of whether those balls have been cleaned or sanitized ever. We chose to bowl for one hour. As our time was nearing the end the words "the end of your session is near" scrolled across the screen. However, it didn't tell us how much more time we had left. Then in the middle of a game delay just shut down. It would've been better for it to tell us that we have five or 10 minutes left to play. I still had a good time because of the group of people that I was with. If you're looking for some really basic bowling this is a place to go to but with so many bowling alleys becoming more upgraded centers of entertainment, these guys are light-years behind.
