We had my daughter?s 18th birthday here. The staff went above and beyond and the manager. The set up was so beautiful we were not expecting that. The customer service was top notch! Will definitely plan more birthday parties here
Chef Julia changed my life. For me and my girlfriend?s anniversary she brought out a pretzel in the shape of a heart. Server Cat is always putting that work in too!
I don't normally write reviews on my first visit anyplace, but I had to share my Chandler Lanes! Absolutely the BEST experience I have ever had at a bowling alley! Was here with brothers from church for an outing and they rolled out the red carpet for us! When i walked in I wasn't there a couple minutes before Dylan came, welcomed me, introduced himself and knew ALL the details for us that night! His manager, Shannon had the lanes personalized for our group and Erin gave us top notch service! The food was h
I had the best experience here. My family and I love bowling but never been to this location before. Our server Princess was so kind and helpful. She also got me interested in joining a league again.
Bowling alley is in good shape. Staff is great! The Approach on each lane is super slick from them having the lanes refinished. I actually fell the first ball I threw down the lane. Whoever did the job looks like they didn't clean all the dust from sanding the wood floors. Dust residue is all over the floors. Probably needs a really good deep clean. Now I got used to it and actually threw 6 really good games. I did eventually forgot about the floor being slick. It might have actually helped with my
This is one of our favorite places to bowl. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. I have to give a special shout out to Alex. My girlfriend and I bowl there on Sundays when we get a chance to, as i work alot so we can't do it as often as I want to. Alex is always super friendly and helpful every time he sees us. It's nice to see someone that works in hospitality actually engage with their guests in a genuine manner. He is definitely on point.
I had a large group for my birthday on 2/8 and just wanted to give a shoutout to AMF Chandler Lanes!! They ROCKED it with my party of 40! The manager Dillan was TOP NOTCH, his staff, our server Manny, the whole experience was far beyond expectations!!! Highly recommend this nostalgic bowling alley!!
Our recent corporate quarterly team-building event at AMF Chandler Lanes was an outstanding success. We were group of around 30 people, and it was our first outside team-building since the pandemic, so we had high hopes! And this place definitely did not disappoint! The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, making it the perfect setting for some well deserved fun and relaxation. The food and drinks were excellent, and everything was delicious and well-presented. I want to give a special shout out to Ty, w
My family and friends enjoy this location because of the great customer service we receive and the food is always piping hot and fresh. Dillion who I believe is the manager is always so friendly and is sure to greet us when we walk through the doors. It's nice to be remembered .
Amazing time plus the staff was incredible We order some food 10/10 Coming back soon ??
Today we had a great time bowling with the family. This is the first time we visit this place and we had great time. Food was expensive and the portions are small. We tried the chicken sandwich and it was really good. We also tried the Alley Sample and it was delicious. For dessert we tried the pretzel and the chocolate chip cookies and we didn't like it that much. The drinks are expensive but you can have refills. The lady at the front was very nice and helpful. We will be back soon to celebrate my birthd
Fantastic place for a teen birthday! The kids had a blast. The food was yummy. The giant cookie was scrumptious. The staff, and Shannon and Dillon in particular, were super helpful and friendly. Stress free and a great value. Highly recommend! And everyone loved being at a "real bowling alley."
Nice, older bowling alley. The automatic scoring was functional but you have to keep an eye on it as it often misses a pin or two. We didn't have any breakdowns so it was a fun session.
AMF Chandler is the peak of the bowling experience. It blends the old school feeling that everyone craves from bowling with the new age amenities and comforts. The manager Dillon is excellent every time we come in and makes the entire experience worth it. Julia is notable in the staff for her peak customer experience and we'll be coming back many times more to the best bowling experience in AZ.
dillon is a one of a kind manager! professional, personable and extremely informative! every time we visit, the atmosphere is exceptional due to his customer service! this is the ONLY bowling alley id ever go to
This bowling alley is the business! We came in on Saturday with a group of almost 20 people for a birthday party and the staff did a great job making sure everyone was satisfied. The manager Dillon and our server Manny were on top of everything and were super friendly. We had full drinks and zero complaints. 10/10 experience at AMF Chandler.
As a long-time Thursday night league bowler, I'm deeply disappointed with the direction Chandler Lanes has taken under the new manager. League bowlers?who have supported this house for years?are now treated as an inconvenience. From the start of this season, the new manager Lewis made a terrible impression. When issues occurred on opening night due to his own mistakes, he announced over the PA system that we should just ?deal with it.? That level of unprofessionalism is not only disrespectful?it's baffling
Had a good time with a friend that came in from out of town. Wasn't very busy, workers were friendly and nice. Price wasn't too bad for two games, and the arcade area was small but still had fun air hockey. Sadly, we weren't very good at bowling
I love going to this alley. Great people, respectful bowlers and the staff is helpful and have a great attitude. Stark contrast to the Bowlero half a mile from me which is why I drive to Chandler to bowl.
Great customer service ! Love going bowling here when we have the time. Dillion always provides great customer service along with a few other employees . Bathrooms are clean and food is good!
Visited the area for some family fun recently and had a great time here! Dillon was super friendly and the whole experience was fun! Highly recommend!
Place was okay, nothing out of the ordinary. Was way understaffed and was able to only get 1 round of beers. When available employees were friendly and tentive. Would not go again just because I was looking for something more up-beat. If you just want to bowl and relax this is the place for you.
I had a disappointing experience at this bowling alley. Our group wanted to set up for league bowling, but they refused our request and instead accommodated the group next to us. We were told to wait 10 minutes before getting a lane, only to see them take money from three groups after us and place them on lanes right away. As closing time approached, we were trying to bowl on two lanes, but the staff member at the desk rudely shut off one of our lanes and stated that we couldn't bowl on lanes we weren't ass
Had a great time here! Lots of fun with friends and the employee Dillon was super helpful! Will definitely be back (:
Manager there named Dillion is an all around superstar in the workplace. Super helpful and always making sure everything is working! Can't have a great bowling alley without some great running the place!
Great specials, good food, and clean. Lewis and his team were very helpful and made us feel very welcome. Will definitely return soon!
I took a large group of people. There were other lanes open, but the staff would only give us one lane. The bowling balls kept getting stuck on the way out. Overall, We didn't like the food or atmosphere. Won't be going back to this place.
This had to be one of the best places we have had one of our daughter?s birthdays at!! Highly recommend entrusting AMF Chandler Lanes team to throwing your kids parties!! Best service from top to bottom. Couldn't have been happier with our experience.
Managers Shannon, Mark & Dillon will do anything to make sure you have a good experience. Everything is clean, the staff works hard, Bartenders are great! I love this bowling alley! Stay away! It's mine!!!
Had a great time at AMF Chanlder Lanes Thursday evening with our team. Both Dillon and Nathan were so professional, gracious, and attentive to our team, food and beverage orders as well as my unique beverage request (room temp water and no ice Sprite)??. This was such a great experience. I had not bowled at this location in about 7 to 8 years due to moving out of town. These lanes were our favorites, ones that our children remember growing up on. Our team enjoyed the food and said it tasted great (Pizza and
We had so much fun, Dillon made our experience so much better. Would definitely recommend!
Used a Groupon and was not sure how it would go over since it was my 1st time. The manager was super knowledgeable and helpful. Made it very easy to get in and started. My kids had a blast, the food and drinks were good. The atmosphere was just awesome and the arcade was a good ending for the kids. Saved alot using Groupon and the kids had so much fun that it would be silly to not come back over and over!
We've been coming here for years and always have a great time, food and drinks were good too. The staff is very nice and accommodating as well. Will definitely be back like always.
Doesn't look like much from the outside but the inside is spotless! The people at the desk were so great, told me who everyone was working at the bar and the snack bar, made me feel very comfortable. Had the Alley Sampler, it was everything we could have wanted. This was so much fun.
Wow, dirtiest lanes. My hands were black after bowling. Bowled in Mesa Sr. Open tournament at 8am. Didn't open building until 730. No coffee for bowlers. Drinks were ridiculously expensive. No specials for tournament bowlers. Confiscate your bottled water, would not allow outside coffee, but didn't sell any. Counter person setting up for a party later in day, had to chase her down for pin resets all morning. Short staffed for a large tournament. Afternoon squad even though smaller had to Deal w
Turned down because a Disability. I was denied bowling because I don't wear ?bowling? shoes. There is literally no spec for what officially(this goes for the professional association equipment requirement) what can determine a proper bowling shoe, the only thing it states is that the footwear cannot damage the approach?. My shoes dont. I'm not aggressive with my approach, I don't slide. If I wear bowling shoes I slide and hurt myself due to my disability. The manager, she tried to tell me that my non mar
The food was great, the venue was clean and nice, but the staff wasnt so friendly. I would have given it 4 stars if the staff hadnt seemed annoyed with us our entire visit. They were very short with us from the moment we walked in and continued to seem like we were a burden although we were one of 3 groups there....
Great alley. A combination of an old school feel with a bit of modern thrown in. The lanes play really well and the ambiance is perfect for a night of bowling.
I recently had an unforgettable experience at AMF! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming. The lanes were well-maintained, and the entire facility was spotless. But what truly set this visit apart was Dillon, the manager. His energy and enthusiasm were contagious! Dillon went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, from suggesting the perfect lane to making sure our drinks were always full. He genuinely cares about his guests and creates a fun environment for
Best bowling alley! Great staff. Great atmosphere. Definitely going again!
Nice and clean and nice couch style benches to sit on. Good experience
Kat and Darian are really great and helpful ???? Julia and Dylan are also super friendly. Great returning environment, I've been here a few times and they're always super accommodating even when they're busy~?
Honestly this location is the BEST bowling alley we have ever been too. The staff are incredibly kind and genuinely seem to love their job and taking care of customers. Dillon the Manager is great, and Nathan our server goes beyond what is expected as far as customer service goes. All of the other employees we have encountered are just as great! Everyone and everything here is exceptional! We just love coming here to bowl as a family!
I rarely write reviews, but our experience was so exceptional that I felt compelled to share! From the moment Amber answered the phone, her delightful and accommodating manner set the tone for our son's birthday celebration. The entire crew at AMF Chandler Lanes was fantastic. Jason frequently checked in on us, ensuring everything was perfect and addressing any needs we had. This level of attentiveness is rare these days. They even decorated our lane with kids' decorations and displayed my son's name on th
Decent enough bowling alley. No complaints, it's appropriate for the price you pay.
5-Star Review: Exceptional Bowling Experience! I recently had the best bowling experience imaginable at Chandler Lanes, and I can't say enough good things about the staff and management. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with friendly smiles and an incredibly warm welcome. The staff went above and beyond in every possible way to make our visit special. The lanes were pristine, and the atmosphere was vibrant, but it was the level of service that really made the difference. Every staff member wa
The server Travis was great! You could tell he was working hard very polite and great customer service!
The Good : $14.99 for unlimited bowling from 7pm - Midnight is a good deal anyway u look at it!! The lanes are nice and seem well maintained with updated software and furniture, and overall had a good vibe!! The Bad : I had to go get a server because everyone around us was being served but we were never approached, When the server finally came we ordered our food and drinks (ordered the appetizer sampler for $28.99 and 2 sodas with free refills total was over $40 ) it took roughly 20+ min to come out, whe
Great customer service, everyone there is just so kind and ready to make you have a great time
Come here for weekly league night and they have some great staff. Shout out to Dillon for being the best!
Had a $10 deal to bowl til 5 pm per person great place food drinks and deals
The employees were very helpful. This place is clean and the food is good. When we bowled, we we're the only ones here
I found a great deal on groupon, and went there with a couple of friends, and we had a great time bowling for a couple of hours.
Place was alright, lanes were fine. Just an average bowling alley. The main thing that bothers me is that when we first entered, we were told at the counter $8 per game. That was it. The two of us went and played three games. We finished there in less than an hour. But then when we went to pay... $60. Sixty dollars for two people to bowl three games in less than an hour is crazy. When we were finally finished is when they decided to say it was $8 per game PER PERSON. So not only were we misled, but the pric
Awesome place. Dillon and Shannon awe amazing!!! First time joining a league and met awesome people. Food and drinks are great. Staff is friendly and helpful. Would reccomend 100%
Went bowling with a friend and this place was great. Service had a sense of humor and everything felt clean. We had a lot of fun and enjoyed this location.
Amazing staff, great atmosphere for the whole family.
Great experience and service, glad I could enjoy my time with friends and family.
The place is good and usually have lanes available if you go before 6 PM. The only thing that i didn't like is the music selection and also i would have enjoyed if they had the system to capture player photos and then the cartoons that come on the score board have the actual player pics.
The customer service is always great here!! Dillon and Alex are always very helpful and kind to us
Thanks so much Dillon. This location and the entire staff is great! Robert and Easton appreciate you all as well!
The workers were super friendly and nice. Lanes are a bit older but fun little arcade there too!
Awesome place!! Great lanes and good vibes
Paid $250 for a plane for 2 hours and pizza/ chicken fingers. They asked me if I wanted a box, and after I said yes please, the manager came out and told me I'm not allowed to take the food home that I paid for! I have been a chef for 20+ years and found this absolutely infuriating. Especially because the server had told me they were just gonna throw it out!
So husband bowled in tournament this morning we show up parking lot os absolutely disgusting get in side and the mechanic is standing up front so everytime there's a call he has to go back to the back now I worked for amf for 8 years and now work at another bowling alley and let me tell you this is not a thing the mechanic should be in the back at all times that's their job so stay there also I saw him go to the back and hop I'm a machine didn't lock out tag out machine was still running barley got out the
Was a great place. Took my hockey team there for some activity outside the rink. They where very accommodating and took good care of us
We have come here quite a few times and always get great service, find a lane, and have a great time. The food isn't bad at all. The drinks, however, are weak and expensive. Overall, I recommend this place to everyone.
They screwed up and lost our prepaid reservation for a large group but STILL fit us in, comped the food and drinks and are giving us the next session for free. This is customer service and the difference between 1 stars and 5!
Fun, Fun, Fun!! It was great place to take my grandkids and reasonable $. I had a coupon for up to 5 people, 2 hours of free bowling INCLUDING the shoes. We went today as soon as they opened, it wasn't crowded at all (which was perfect!), and the girl working was so friendly and helpful. I haven't bowled in years and wasn't sure what to expect. Back in the day bowling alleys kinda smelled musty and dark and blah. But this one was clean, exciting (played music videos) and had a separate arcade area. The f
Had a surprise birthday party here and the staff was amazing! The manager and server helping us were so helpful and accommodating! Will definitely book for more events!
Came here to celebrate my 30th birthday with friends and family and they were so kind and so incredibly helpful! They even let us move our lanes so we could watch Pok?mon and play ????
Good overall experience. Good prices. The business is practicing social distancing and wearing mask when applicable. The place seemed like an old school bowing alley. The kind many of us have been to growing up.
Joined a league and enjoyed bowling here. Food drink and arcade.
Extremely friendly staff. The Monday all you can bowl deal was a worthwhile use of my evening.
Worst customer service. Last visit they hassled us about my water cup that I bring because it is 115 outside. Today 4 of us showed up to use the summer pass and they said our 9 year old grandson had to be "Activated" at a different AMF. Only half the lanes occupied and they refused to help in any way. We have received great customer service at other lanes and will be going elsewhere. I recommend all avoid this one!
Alex and Dillion were the best very helpful and always welcoming. The best customer service!
Without a doubt the best customer service at a bowling alley I've ever had. From the moment you walk thru the door and are welcomed, you are greeted with a smile. We were personally taken to our lane which had a welcome sign with our name. We were provided information on food and drink packages, which we purchased. For the rest of the evening they were very attentive and our glasses never hit empty. I cannot stress enough the great job this staff is doing! We will return.
They recently updated LOTS at the center. So LOVE it. Not many bowling alleys left with wooden approaches.
I went there for date night last week. The staff was incredible. Great service and great people!
Great staff, very friendly and nice experience while bowling.
Loved it was a pretty cool place staff was awesome no one treated me or my family differently they have a little arcade space that my daughter loved also have some pretty good food highly recommend good place to go have some family time ?
Your staff are truly the best people! Best bowling alley in AZ
Best service and the pricing was so cheap. The staff checked on us every few minutes and even talked with us. The manager came over and was super nice. I lost the list of names of the staff, I wrote them down because everyone was above and beyond but can't find it. We had a lot of fun and look forward to coming back!
We've been bowling at this location for a couple years now. Whether it's a fun family time with the kids, or our weekend date nights?.. We will continue to keep coming back. Their staff is the best! They are friendly, professional and accommodating. The alley is always clean and has great vibes. Recommend highly!!
We bowl at this location in a Thursday night league and the staff is amazing! Managers Shannon and Dylan are great! Never a bad experience, Always a good time! Our go to venue for bowling in the area.
Food took forever, the area just before the lane was slippery and grainy deeling
Family fun on a Friday eve. Good drinks, fries, and nachos are tasty. Lane availability is never an issue when we go.
Newly renovated AMF Chandler Lanes is a family friendly bowling place that you can bring everyone too! It's nice and clean and a great way to bond with the family or have a date night! I would recommend eating somewhere else for dinner but they do have food so it is a one stop shop!
It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.
Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.
Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.
Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.
Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.
Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.
Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.
No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
Yes, pool tables in arcades remain a fantastic draw in 2025! Games like 8-ball or 9-ball offer tactile, skill-based fun that blends strategy and precision. Modern tables feature smooth felt, responsive cues, and vibrant designs, enhancing the classic experience. Arcades foster a social vibe with casual matches or competitive tournaments, appealing to all skill levels. Unlike digital games, pool’s physicality—lining up shots, feeling the cue’s weight—keeps it timeless.
