This is a favorite to go with friends and also to be kid. They recently remodeled their arcade area in a way that makes it super easy to win prizes! And their food is also pretty good. Their fried okra is legit, and I know that's a weird food to promote at a bowling alley. But seriously. Try it with ranch. The management really cares about the community also and has a nicely sized event space for all events. I attached some pics with friends. Make it a night out and go play pool, darts or bowl! read more

For a Wednesday night it was pretty chill! It definitely gives old bowling alley which is nice! The drinks at the bar could be better tho, the first drink we got tasted more like juice more than anything. read more

Rowlett Bowlarama - Bowling Near Me - Rowlett, Texas

Had such a fun time bowing with the family. The lanes are nice and clean. Went on a Saturday afternoon and it was semi busy. Half full but by the time we left it was pretty full. They have a little arcade, and upgraded bowling system with multiple games to play while bowling. There is a bar. Great for birthdays and fun. They have leagues you can join and had a list of summer events. Stop in for some quality fun! read more

We had a lot of fun and enjoyed ourselves. The only thing that could be improved is the seating. It was difficult for our group to sit together, so having more closer options would make it even better. read more

Very nice bowling alley, clean and upbeat. Several lanes, a big game area and a big sized bar. My 4 yr old grandson had the time of his life. I'm not a bowler but it was fun and got to have good quality family time. read more

They never post a good schedule of when you can actually bowl or not it's annoying wouldn't give them any business if it weren't the closest alley for 20 min. read more

Great pricing and old school bowling feel. A variety of leagues to join. Many discounted bowling sessions.

Awesome reasonably priced and always a good time. Fun with family and friends and good food.

Great lanes and nostalgic environment. Always a good time here with the family and friends

I will also say 5 STARS. Nice, clean,friendly and caring staff. Family fun or even the serious bowler, you won't find anything better out this way. Thank you Bowlerama. read more

Visited on Christmas Day with our family and had an absolute great time. Music is great, food is also great (recommend the garlic Parmesan bone in wings). We don't drink but the bar inside the bowling alley has large tvs, pool tables and welcoming and friendly bartenders. (Place your food orders in the bar). Management was amazing and the bathrooms were exceptionally clean. Great arcade for kids. read more

No wait- prompt service- laid back and clean place to bowl and have a few drinks - a good local spot

Fairly nice facility. Made a reservation on a Sunday, early evening, for a lane. Service was prompt and it was a fun excursion. Menu was typical bar food, as were the adult libations. I am not a bowler, so I'm not able to comment on the quality of the lanes or otherwise. read more

I have been here two times and always a decent experience. When it comes down to it as long as it's clean, you can bowl without much issues, no issues with returning bowling ball, and overall friendly service. The price is per hour or per game, I would recommend to bring your own shoe to save some money. read more

Horrible service. Went to go bowling with my wife and son(9 year old). The ball return was taking way too long, he can only use the 6 pound balls, and it took 10 mins for a single ball to return. We bowled 3 frames in 35 minutes and the only thing they could offer us was to go and retrieve his ball after every throw if they were available to do so. No refund or gift card was even offered. Paid 45$ for nothing. Don't waste your money here. The bartender was friendly though. read more

Had a wonderful time hanging out with friends at Bowlarama. Food and drinks were excellent and the bowling alley is well taken care off. Highly recommend. read more

DON'T GO!!! WORST Experience ever!! I am a Covid19 survivor AND went tonight to Spiltz to enjoy a first night out and was cut off after 2 beers!! Stephanie Moss the worst Manager ever felt after 2 beer I and my party with me was to drunk to BOWL! Bowl really??? Not drive or walk, just bowl!!! Very disappointing, the COVID19 pandemic has left this place with new high school management that does not warranty your business. Heed this warning and do not give your business to the establishment. Go to any place but here, as they have a better bowing experience. Very disappointed expected better from my local establishments and wanted to support Rowlett business, but after this DO NOT GO it was unpatriotic. read more

This place hosted our travel league this weekend. Staff was really attentive to our needs. Makaiya was very good worker, keeping all of the bowling and common areas clean. Kept the right games on the screens. She is a great employee. One thing needs more attention was restrooms need a deep cleaning, especially the walls in the stalls of men's room. Overall a great place to bowl. read more

I had a Groupon which lead me here, however unbeknownst to me they offer daily specials. So we visited on a Tuesday and it seemed like half the place was bowling leagues and the other half was daycares. We waited for approximately 30 minutes for a lane and in the meantime ordered some nachos from the snack bar. Please if you are dreading this, do NOT fall into the trap of ordering the nachos just because they are $2. The chips were cold & the cheese was extremely salty and not hot. My 10 year old stated they tasted like "dog food". We picked out a ball, and I'll admit that I have some chunky fingers and I bowl with an 8lb ball, however there wasn't any that I could comfortably get my fingers into! I had to ask the guy at the front desk a couple of times to put the bumpers up so that we could get started but once we got started it was enjoyable. The bumpers were set so they went down when the adults were bowling and would come up when the little one was bowling and the bowling alley itself was clean. They also have a bar & grill, an arcade and a pro shop. The guys in the pro shop were extremely nice & helpful if you are looking for your own ball & shoes. Overall we had a good time & should want to bowl again we will keep this place in mind. read more

I loved having my daughters and sons birthday parties here. As a suggestion, I definitely think the birthday child should be free, considering the amount of attendees at a party and package pricing or maybe provide some kind of free token incentives for game play for the birthday child. The bowling was AWESOME for all of us. We had a private party room and Kailey was such a great hostess. The pizza slices are huge (only for the party attendees) but we always have extra so parents get to grub too. Plenty of drinks as well. I like how this time around they had a mascot that came out for the bday girl/boy. You can snap photos at that time and it's just cool seeing the expressions on the kids faces. Bowling is always a hit, they all enjoy playing and so do we adults :) read more

We held our non-profit fundraiser here this Sunday and the management and staff were extremely helpful! It went smooth and was very successful! Bowlarama was top notch and fun was had by all! read more

It's an older bowling alley but there are a lot of lanes, it's clean and the staff is helpful! We went on a Saturday night around 7:30pm and bought an hour. It's a little pricey but from the pricing menu it is more expensive on the weekends. It was worth it! The bowling ball selection is okay... we ended up sharing our bowling balls with our neighbors because they couldn't find the right size. Parking is easy, the bathrooms are clean and it's a very relaxed environment. read more

I had a hoot today, loved that the games are by the hour so I got through 3 rounds of bowling for $32, which isn't to shabby. The employees were nice and accommodating, it's pretty must a self-play area once you pay for the shoes and lane. I didn't order any food but it's definitely family friendly! There are a few arcade games and a bar area for adults. They do serve beer and other alcoholic beverages. I had a great time and have been going to bowlarama for many years! read more

$14 for 4 soft drinks and I'm paying for a 24 oz when they are 16oz. price gouging bullshit. Takes 10 minutes for someone to even acknowledge you. Never coming back. read more

Had a great time with friends bowling and eating at Bowl-A-Rama! We came later in the evening and had a blast. The food and drinks were great. We will be coming again for sure! We appreciated the cleanliness, how friendly the staff was, and the overall experience was positive. In fact, we stayed WAY longer than planned since Splits had the game on we wanted to see, so after the time on our lane expired, we moved into there to watch the game. read more

Had issues logging on the app to sign up for Kids bowling free summer special. lSlow getting someone to help you. Facilities not very clean. read more

Daughters soccer team had a whole family gathering here last weekend. I have to say I had a good time as well as my daughter enjoying herself. It's got a lot of room and even though busy the service was pretty speedy. The food was a bit hit or miss, if you stick with the appetizers I think you're better off. Prices weren't bad on things and there was one stellar app stand out. It was a cream cheese stuffed and bacon wrapped jalapeno. Not done in a typical style but as halves almost like potato skins would come out. These things were the Juliet to my Romeo, I'm here to tell ya. Bacon cooked perfectly, the cream cheese wasn't melted all out and the jalapenos still had crunch and worked real well. read more

Malfunctioning lane equipment and disconnected staff. We rented a lane by the hour for a family of 4. We usually bowl 2 games in an hour. The pin setter took for ever cycling between balls and constantly dropped pins after the first ball. Finally the lane just froze up. The lane mechanic told us he would move us so we could finish our game before our time was up. He was the only shining light. He was courteous and seemed genuinely concerned. He even talked to the front desk who added 10 minutes for us to finish our game. Unfortunately the lane they moved us to also broke down and damaged the couple next to us ball. When we turned in our shoes the person at the front desk looked up long engulf to nod at the counter she wanted us to put them on and went back to what're it was she was doing. Won't be going back here again anytime soon. read more

Bowlarama in Rowlett is such a great place to celebrate any event! The facility is clean and huge. The service is absolutely spectacular and I am counting down the days for my next visit! read more

The kids had fun, but there were a lot of issues. Our balls kept getting stuck, and every time we called to have that fixed, it took 5-10 minutes. Also, the 2 guys that came to help seemed to be annoyed every single time. We asked to order food and were told the kitchen was closed, but food kept coming out. read more

Not a good experience. The lane we were put on was constantly malfunctioning, as told to us by the people around us. The fact that we were given a lane that was known to have a problem was unacceptable. We paid for an hour but lost a lot of time waiting for the lane to fix itself. It seemed like a lot of the other lanes were either shut off or having problems. The only positive was that my kid still had a good time. read more

If you want to experience the old bowling alleys you'd see in the 80s/90s then this is your place. It's frozen in time and unfortunately that also means the facilities are not upgraded in any way. I prefer a more modern feel and the kind like pin stack so if you don't then disregard this review. The kiddos enjoyed it so that's the upside. They do have party packages, party rooms, arcade area and lots of lanes. Private parking lot so parking is a breeze. Employees very kind. read more

Wow. Went here with the fam last Sunday. First my little pager didn't go off when my food was ready. I walked up to the counter to ask what was going on and saw my food sitting there, on the counter, cold. Nobody was around to ask about it. Next, when we had about three frames left, an employee came and asked us to move because they had reserved our lane to someone else. Ther was plenty of extra lanes when we came in! Why didn't they give us one that hadn't been reserved? That wasn't so bad though. We just told him we'd be done in a few minutes. But then another employee came up to us really aggressively and told us to move! We only had one frame left. Never going back there. read more

The service was good, but the bowling balls are the absolute worst. They are all for kid fingers. It was a challenge. The bartenders give a good pour. read more

Rowlett Bowlarama - BUSY BAR WITH A AWESOME. BAND - Bowling Near Me - Rowlett, Texas

It was good, I was told there was a 45 min wait for the bowling section and they asked me my name because they were going to call me when one was ready... never did. Besides this it was a good place, loved their nachos! read more

The bowling portion was cool! But when we got there the table was dirty and there was still trash from the previous group that was there. I just feel that if you're going to assign people to a lane, at-least make sure the lane is clean. I had to ask someone to come clean it up. But besides that everything was cool. The prices are good. We went during the unlimited bowling and nachos special. read more

Be ware. The waitress will end her shift make you close out your tab then keep working. I just don't get it probably because I'm black. read more

Rowlett Bowlarama - Bowling Near Me - Rowlett, Texas

I gave it only 1 star because my kids enjoyed the Bowling, not so much myself. We waited an hr and half for a lane which wasn't too bad being it was busy, my problem was I had to request a lane switch being we were wasting our time with how jacked up Lane 22 was. I requested to be moved and it was ok after that. Previous to getting the lane, we decide to go to the bar to eat in which I wasn't satisfied at all with. I'm an African American woman whom already felt out of place being we were the only African American family in the bar area& my feelings came to be true when I went to the bar to get my fiancé and I a drink. Stood there 10 minutes being completely ignored. I then walked to the corner for another 10 minutes giving the benefit of the doubt that I May get waited on over there. Well I watched a Caucasian couple walk up right where I just left from and get waited on. Wow! The bar associate walks over to me and says give me a minute after she proceeds to help everyone that came after me. Again we were the only African American family in that bar area at the time. I saw now why I felt out of place. I however didn't get a drink and went back to my kids. The bar attendant comes because now she knows what she did and says what can I get you. I at the point didn't want anything because I waited a total of 20 minutes to be ignored. She then comes back and wanted to give a drink on the house. Which i refused! All I wanted was the same equal help she was offering to everyone else. Very disappointed and it was my first time. Don't think I would be going back. read more
