We had my daughter birthday /grad party here, it was amazing! Such a good experience. The staff is super friendly and helpful! The owners are very friendly very helpful. This is one of the best places to have a party, especially if you have little children because that way everybody has something to do. The kids got to bowl while the adults got to visit. You can bring your own food, drinks bought there. When you rent one whole side with the shoes and the lanes include included, you cannot beat this experience. It wasn't loud or uncomfortable. Very good atmosphere. It was perfect! I highly recommend this place for parties and events especially if you have 50 to 70 people! Two hours doesn't sound like a lot but it was more than enough! Don't over look this place for parties or just having a good time read more

Man at the counter was rude. Came in this past Friday night around 9:30pm and he had the worst attitude.. I wasn't even being rude or anything. I would give 0 stars of possible. read more

Bowling alley was very crowded. Took about 20 minutes to get a lane. $14 per person for 2 games was really expensive for a large group. Menu looked good but the line to the restaurant was also about 20 minutes. Nobody offered to raise bumpers for 3 kids under 12. Someone did assist after asking for help. One server and two working the desk looked like they could have used help. read more

I have bowled all over the Michiana area. These are the oiliest lanes I have ever encountered! Dial it back a few notches!! Bowling in general has become ridiculously expensive. And now too much emphasis on parties and entertainment. Probably drove the bowlers to home read more

Kelley's bowl has been my go to place for bowling since I learned to bowl.  I love that I can just go and enjoy myself doing an activity most people don't think about going out and doing anymore.  As a child I went to many birthdays here and as an adult I've gone on many dates with my husband.  I love getting a pitcher of beer, cheap food and just bowling for fun.  The employees are always welcoming and chill.  I've never once heard a complaint about the workers here.  The decor is dated but nostalgic.  And the bowling....is bowling.  Will come back for as long as it's open. read more

Striker’s Bowl - a woman holding a bowling ball - Bowling Near Me - St. Joseph, Michigan

We always pick Strikers over other options in our area because the employees are great and go above and beyond. Bob, the gentleman at the counter, is always pleasant and helpful. They keep it clean and inviting. Gold Stars all the way around. read more

We took my Dad bowling while in the area for Father's Day and had a great time at Striker's. This bowling alley is a little small but they have plenty to keep you busy if they have a wait for lanes. They also have a small pro shop here if you are in the market for a new ball or bowling accessories, but make sure you call for their hours of operation. We luckily didn't have to wait for a lane when we arrived and got to enjoy two games each before shooting some pool and darts in the bar area. We also enjoyed using the TouchTunes app to play some of our favorite songs on the juke box. We left around 8:45pm and they were starting to get busy for cosmic bowling. All-in-all, this was a great spot for an entertaining night out! read more

Came here on a Friday night and had such a terrible experience. The employees were real rude and when I asked a question about a coupon, he basically responded like I was stupid. Then I asked about the process of ordering food and was told to order using the barcode on the tables. I made my order and was only given my food so I asked one of the employees about my drink and she answered very rudely that I'm supposed to get my drinks from the bar. They aren't responsible for bringing me drinks. Which is fine except why wasn't this explained to me when I asked initially? Fast forward my friend and I are bowling and having a decent time, the security guard kept hovering over us. He didn't say anything but just kept hovering and then would throw some of my trash away (I was eating wings) which I felt was uncomfortable and hostile because everyone else was able to bowl and have their drinks and food on their tables without someone else coming to throw their stuff away every 5 seconds. It wasn't a packed night so it's not like we were taking up space by having food on the table. Food that I paid $21 for. I couldn't even enjoy it. Overall, it was a terrible experience and it's very disappointing to see how they treat people here. read more

Never frequented a place with so many rude pricks working in my life. Front desk people all the way through maintenance people. No personality for most of them. Not people orientated at all. read more

Went there with a family group last weekend. Generally, this is a nice place and I would give it a better rating if it were not for one specific employee. As I said, we had a pretty large group (4 kids and 7 adults). We reserved two lanes. The employee who seemed to be in charge of things yelled at the kids (some of whom had never bowled before) and acted like we were an inconvenience to her. She was eating her Taco Bell lunch at the counter and seemed offended by the fact that we were trying to return our shoes while she was eating. Every question asked by anyone seemed to be a burden to her. And she talked down to all of us. I've worked in the service industry before. I know that big groups can be a lot some times especially when there are kids who don't understand what is going on. But unless I missed something, there is nothing anyone did that was totally off the wall inappropriate. About the worst thing that we did was leave garbage because it was unclear as to whether or not, we were supposed to buy us our own area. As soon as she asked us to do it, we picked up our garbage. I can't imagine that we were any different than most customers. I do want to give a shout out to the bar tender. I believe his name was Corey. He really is an asset to you guys. read more

Don't bother trying to bowl if the fat girl with the green hair is at the front counter. She barely acknowledges you and won't even get off a bar stool to wait on you. It takes her a very long time to get you to a lane. Plus she has a real smart, snarky attitude. Once we got to bowl we had a good time. read more

Stopped in here with my boys on a Thursday after school we found a decent selection of arcade type games including skee ball and basketball, air hockey ,photo booth and more. The games although older worked alright except for the "Wheel of Fortune" which stole my money. We did end up having a lot of fun. The bowling alley looked to be in good repair and there are a couple pool tables in the bar. read more

We are a somewhat regular patron here since we like to bowl, even though we do not belong to any leagues. We have always found the facility to be clean and in order whenever we go there. The staff is always friendly and helpful. We especially want to single out the gentleman who mans the counter, who we found out is named Bob. He always makes us feel welcome, greets us with a smile, calls us by name, and helps us in any way possible. We will continue to go here as a source of fun and entertainment. read more

Price for bowling is fine but the price for pizza was not. Mushrooms out of a can "barf", chicken not even edible. When a friend says little ceasers is the move it's makes you wonder. Over all a experience ima try to forget. read more

We went here the day after Christmas and the three young employees were slammed. But they were organized and helpful, as well as polite and patient. Thank you!!! Our family had a great time. read more

My daughter wanted to go bowling at Kelley's because she had just been there for a birthday party and picked that over other activities. This would have been the fourth or fifth time I have been there in recent years. I checked the website, which listed open bowling from 11a-2a. We got there at 11a, an hour after they actually opened apparently. After standing at the counter for about 10 minutes we found out there was a large tournament starting at 12p. We were told we could squeeze in one game if we were fast. We got halfway through our game and the computer shut down. I had to stand at the counter for another 5 minutes to get them to restart it. Every time I have been there I have had to wait at one counter or another, usually for several minutes. I have also had to wait for someone who can answer a (simple) question. I am not talking about waiting in line. I am talking about no one being there. Bottom line: It is a nice facility, but they are understaffed and don't bother to update their website our social media. If you want to go, call first and be prepared to wait. Hopefully your seven-year-old won't be disappointed like mine was. read more

Nice old fashioned alley. Clean and friendly. Went on a summer weekday with the family.

We had a Meet and Greet there the day before our family reunion. The menu at the snack bar is varied and the food was good. We had a number of non-bowlers and they accommodated us, let us push tables together, and made sure we were well taken care of. The staff was friendly, had smiles on their faces, and went out of their way to make sure everyone had what they wanted or needed. Thank you Kelley's Bowl Staff. read more

The main reason for the low rating is that the owner asked me to leave my pistol (which I was legally carrying) in my car after a man, who appeared to be a customer/friend of the owner, asked me if I was a police officer and, when I replied that I wasn't, said "It makes me feel uncomfortable to see someone who isn't a police officer carrying a gun. I mean, we have a bar in here." In compliance with state law, I had no intention of consuming alcohol while carrying my pistol. I explained state law as it pertained to legal carry and establishments that sell alcohol. I also explained that he had every right as a private property owner to ask me to leave it in the car. I suggested he may want to consider posting signage on the door so other citizens who enjoy exercising their 2nd Amendment rights know that they are not welcome unless they disarm themselves. The lane I was on malfunctioned many times during the night, but the guy working the lanes was really helpful. The guy manning the cash register even gave myself and my friend a ticket for a free game to compensate us for the inconvenience. I gave the ticket to another friend, as I will not patronize, even for free, a business that does not support the rights of private citizens to be prepared to protect themselves. I will ensure that my friends, and members of local gun clubs and associations are made aware that Kelley's Bowl does not want our business unless we disarm. read more

Me and my family went there for a cosmic bowling night on a Saturday they say it starts at 8pm but it had been going for about an hour or two. They don't have seating arrangements for mor than about 3 people per lane and the constantly pack 5-8 people to a lane, I thought this would be a family trip and fun for everyone but over half the people that were bowling happen to be obnoxiously drunk. They were loud and used a range of profanity that would sicken a saylor, they got into people's faces and tried provoking fights. This is not a place to bring your family at all, during the day they have bowling tournaments so they rush you to get one game in before a tournament comes in and they are far from friendly. If you ask a simple question they treat you like you're an idiot. I over heard the front desk employee call a women a stupid B**** who asked a simple question about how to work the computer. I would recommend any place over Kelley's Bowl. read more
