    The lanes
    Nathan H.

    We decided to go bowling on our children's winter break. So we booked a lane for one hour on a Wednesday afternoon. The girl at the register said it would be $87 dollars. We were blown away by how pricey it was. But played our two games we fit within an hour. Mind you we took no breaks or relaxed just bowled to make the 1 hour time. Something didn't seem right so I called the alley after the fact. Come to find out I was charged per game not for the hour. This should have been conveyed to me at the time of checkout. I called and spoke to Henry Poole who made everything right. He apologized and advised me that per game is more expensive than just the hour. It ended up being a $30+ difference. So here is some advice to anyone that's not an experienced bowler pay for the hour get there before your time pick out a ball and get your shoes. I was a bit angry about the experience but Henry resolved that it. Bathrooms were clean.

    I met up with a few friends and decided to go bowling for my birthday. I haven't been bowling since before COVID. I was pleasantly surprised and happy to see how awesome this bowling alley has changed for the better. Everything looks and feels brand new. There is fun lighting, updated scorekeepers, TVs, and comfortable benches and seats. It felt like a brand new volley alley from the last time I was here. The ball return was super fast, the machines never had an issue with the five of us bowling on the lane. The bathrooms were super clean and very updated. Overall, this was a great birthday plan and it was so much fun. We will definitely be coming back way more often.

    Fun night bowling with a couple friends on Friday night. Places was busy, we had to wait until 9:30 in order to get a lane because they have league going at 7. Went there at 9:30 and made it in the line. Friday night at starting at 10 is comic night, where all lights are turned off and neon lights are on. Prices were decent for games and rental. Great atmosphere and chill. We played 3 games and lasted for a couple hours. Overall, nice bowling place around Buffalo.

    Even with the bumper up one kid got the ball on top of the bumper! So funny!

    Great time for kids at my daughter's birthday bowling party! The assigned "Hostess" was attentive and friendly. They knocked off the price for 1 guest as one of the Lanes had continuous problems and slowed down the kids from enjoying bowling. I'm glad they offered this - good customer service. Pizza was yummy. Balloon decoration with bowling pin to take home (guests write a message on the pin) makes for a nice memory. Fun for kids. In 2 hours all done. No cleaning up for Mom! And no hearing "I'm bored." Or "nobody wants to play what I want to do." No complaints. Kids had 1.5 hrs bowling, rest of time ate pizza, cupcakes from home and opened gifts.

    Good bowling experience. Lanes have electronic score boards that are easy to use. Plenty of lane balls available if you don't have your own.

The food and beverage selections are good, service has been friendly, the lanes are in good working order, the ball selection is varied and solid...I have not an overtly bad thing to say about the place. I even like the cornball animations that you pose for when you begin so that they get worked into the graphics between rolls. Except this: everything costs like 30% more than at Classic Lanes, the more hardscrabble and bare-bones competition that's like a mile away, which, despite being cheaper, has, for my money, better food, along with about a kazillion vegan options, which is pretty progresssive for a bowling alley, and which Manor Lanes does not have. (Full disclosure: I'm in an informal monthly bowling group that alternates between these two bowling alleys and we have some internal dissension about which one is better, although we all agree that they are both good.) So, if you told me that I could only bowl at Manor Lanes, I'd really be fine with it. It's a nice place, and it absolutely blows away the shitty, overpriced, gimmicky AMF lanes in town. I just might prefer its slightly more blue-collar competition.

He always acts annoyed, has 0 customer service, and hobbles around miserable because he has a bad back. I get it. I do too. 2 herniated discs yet I worked in customer service for years and never treated customers with attitude and be condescending. As soon as we walked in he said, "Yeah. Can't bowl for long, folks. League bowling tonight." No "How are you? Welcome! What can I help you with." He was quickly corrected by a woman and then he said begrudgingly, "Oh...we already oiled the lanes. I forgot. You can stay." Nice. Then we had a machine that wouldn't reset our names and scores because it was acting wonky. My husband went up. He told him, "Hit reset." So...we did. 3x. No dice. So I went up. He then threw up his hands exasperated, clearly annoyed, and said very loudly & slowly, "HIT RESET" as if I was deaf, dumb, and 4. I said, "I did. THREE TIMES." God forbid you come over and actually HELP even though he wasn't busy at all. You're in pain? Delegate. Take off or man up. Don't be a tool... ​​​

Do some bowling Wednesday , work two more days and boom it's the weekend. But as much as bowling helps move the week along. It has also taught me to control my temper and not kick, scream profanity or get into fights and throw things. It's bowling. It's a league that is named after a close friend of my neighbor who was also a person that many people on the league knew. My teammates are each a story in themselves. Representing Buffalo. The best neighbors anyone could ever hope for. We laugh - we have a few drinks- I try to bowl, I don't understand the handicap thing and i support my team with more enthusiasm then number of pins I knock down. So if it's only bowling why is it five stars? Simple - cosmetically- the facility is in the process of being upgraded with a focus around the bar area. Sue has brought her touch that in time will work it's way everywhere that it can with out interfering with the fact that it's bowling. It's not the IMAX not a roller coaster. You don't wear it on your face or have to plug it in. It's bowling. But the food. As the name of the business changed so did the cook, so did the menu, and so did the opportunity to try some very tasty staples along with some excellent variations of fan favorites. The fried Bologna is simple but done right. Like it's supposed to be. Quesadillas are enough for everyone to get a piece - and they are not only large but good. Everything always tastes fresh. It's a total mind melt when you realize that this is coming from a bowling alley. Had a Ruben. Home run. I mean really good. There are these house made chips- they are great. Thin but not drowning in oil- try the barbecue ones. The wings are a consistent solid 10 outta 10. My teammates and I have done our fair share of sauces but we keep coming back to the sweet chili. Wings are cooked right - sized right and sauced right. Other flavors have always been good but the sweet chili is the one we agree on the most as the best. The menu says DINE in for the after 9pm deal but I have seen people picking them up so I think you can call on and get the deal. It's bowling. It's great people. It's a bar. It's some really good food. The bowling alley has recently changed hands and with a kitchen like that, bowling is a lot more fun. There's wood floor and rental shoes and oil and all those things that make bowling, bowling. Try the food.
