    My school went there for a bowling meet, and the lanes my group was bowling on were just straight…read moreup broken. We had to wait several times just for our pins to be reset, and sometimes our pins would get reset in the middle of a frame and we'd have to wait even longer for them to be returned to the way they were. Their floors were incredibly strange, and our balls wouldn't even curve 99% of the time, when they've curved on several other floors before. The menu was horrifically expensive food-wise, but I am grateful for the fact they filled my friend's water bottle with water free of charge. I watched some ads go by for the bowling alley and having to pay 55 dollars PER LANE to bowl is just genuinely insane in my opinion, but hey! What do I know? Anyways, I don't recommend this place personally. Too many complications. Had balls stuck and machines frozen several times and it was a generally frustrating experience.

    We were the only bowlers on this quiet Friday afternoon. The house balls were very old and beat…read moreup. The ball return system is very old and slow and, at least for our lane, not reliable. The lanes and approaches and scoring system were all fine and the furniture etc was standard issue Brunswick bowling center and in reasonable condition. Everything seemed pretty clean and the value factor was good since we were bowling before 5 pm on a weekday. They are currently hiring a mechanic and kitchen help so I'm sure those people they have are stretched a little thin right now. Overall it seems like a bowling center that is riding out its final years with very little investment. It (bowling) is a tough business to make money at.

    This bowling alley is owned buy new owners. They took over a bowling alley that was being ran into…read morethe ground and had a person that was on payroll that had basically stole money from the Youth league. That person held a fundraiser tournament to raise money for youth league and then didn't pay out to the teams that won and the Youth league covered it. Then roughly a year later the bowling alley let him run another fundraiser tournament and still hasn't paid out all the money that is suppose to be paid out. Then new owners took the problem on when they bought the bowling alley. They still have him on payroll and still allows him in bowling alley. He actually still shows up on Saturdays for the Youth league and coaches kids im pretty sure with out a back ground check. in order to be a volunteer you have to do safe sport and back ground check in order to receive USBC card that should be worn during Youth league. The new owners are aware of the whole thing and done nothing to correct it and im assumming feel that it's not there problem to correct. I hope i never have to spend money in that bowling alley ever again and hope alot of others do the samething. I will drive out of my way to bowl in other center just to keep from going there. Hopefully in the future the owners will hold there establishment to a higher standard and maybe gain my business back.

    All around the dumpiest lanes I've been to in years…read more Charging WAY too much for games and the snack bar is garbage. $35 in pizza, tenders, fries and a pitcher of root beer. The pizza comes out basically burnt and was a cheap frozen pizza brand. The fries, I could literally count on 2 hands for a "regular sized order" (specified because she asked me small or regular). 3 small tenders that wouldn't fill up a toddler for $4.30! That's literal highway robbery. I will never be back here.

    Be prepared for a super cute little one to check you in and give you the what's what! Literally the…read moresweet, most characteristic little gal ever. She's the owner's daughter and actually helped us out while not one adult was present. Some locals shewed us out of where she sat us, for us later to be sat back down in our original place. (the local league members apologized). My advice here would be to wait at the desk for the actual owner, I can't tell you how long this will take as he did not appear for about 25 minutes after we arrived. Or else you will be move aside by Possessive local league members. Hey, I get it. I'm a native Oregonian whose been priced out by Californians and City folks alike. I can't even move back to my hometown because I married an active duty military man 20 years ago. If anyone gets it, I do! However, this experience was Bizarre, our food from the cafe next door was almost $100 and our son was gagging on it, unable to eat it. It was awful. Eat before you bowl, do not eat at the cafe next door. To top it all off this bowling alley uses the same equipment from the 1980's. Do not be prepared for any fun digital effects on computer screens here. Just the chunky block letters with your name, yep... 1980's equipment! The real surprised will hit you when you leave and you're charged over $50 for a few games in this low budget, long wait, zero service atmosphere. ‍ be prepared folks! They'll hit ya like your in San Diego! With all of this said, I was visiting my most wonderful sister in law who's in college. Her presence simply made this night and awesome experience, but I cannot in good conscience let this guy rip people off pre what is provided.

    I've bowled at different bowling centers and this one is one of my favorites. They currently still…read morehave wooden lanes (which personally I prefer), their A2 pinsetters are a little more reliable than other centers with the same pinsetters, and the scorers (while older) seem to have fewer accuracy errors than some other centers with newer equipment. I've been to some bowling centers where respots and ball returns seemed constant, but this center is not so much of an issue. I do appreciate this center being locally-owned and not of a large corporate ran business.
