Customer Reviews

Due to weather, My Son?s birthday party at the waterpark was canceled. With the bowling alley closet to my home closing down earlier this year, I had to last minute contact strathmore lanes, this was a great decision they went above and beyond to accommodate a last-minute party of 12 children. They exceeded my expectations and we had the best time! Even brought out decorations. Thank you so much to the party coordinator who worked with me two hours before the party began and made the accommodations to have

Julisia was amazing! Great job and so sweet! The managers Bridget and Corinne were very attentive and friendly. Place is immaculate and modern. Great place! Lots of fun!!

On the spur of the moment, 2 days before, my sister decided to give my nephew a small Birthday celebration at this establishment. There were 15 of us ranging in ages from 6 to 50. We walked in and clearly they were short staffed. The young man initially assigned to our party was obviously overwhelmed and having a challenging time meeting our needs. Then, this Wonderful Young Woman with pink hair stepped in and took over. Her Customer service was Awesome! She was everywhere doing everything. She got food, dr

Such a great location! Our PTO did a grade trip to this Bowlero and we were so well taken care of. Zach and Kenny went above and beyond to make sure all our kids and adults had an amazing experience. They were attentive, friendly, and humored the many many MANY requests our kids had. Everything was on time and surpassed expectations. It was a day the kids will never forget - thank you!!!

Nicest bowling alley. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. Clean and new. Summer pass $40 for 2 games everyday including weekends. Sat before 4.

My go to bowling center closed last year, so we decided to head to amf Strathmore since it's a bigger center as the only one near me now is smaller and always busy. The staff here was great no complaints there, the food was surprisingly very good for a bowling center. My issues were with the equipment and prices. The lanes had so much oil that my high performance balls just skidded with no hook and after a few frames had to be cleaned with a cleaner. The kid?s balls at times got in the gutter where the swee

So very disappointed with our experience here. We haven't been bowling in years and thought it would be a fun indoor activity to do on a rainy day. The place is nice and clean but the technology is extremely outdated. We waited in line for 20 minutes to get a lane. Once you go up, you write your name on a piece of paper and they input it to the system. We went over to our lane where we waited about ten minutes before my husband went back up to let them know it still was not on. We were unable to start it ou

Everything was awesome. First time here with a party of 10. Bridget and Corinne, the managers were so friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. Our server, Julisia was so sweet and took great care of us.

Went for special Olympics bowling and really enjoyed the whole experience! The staff at AMF Strathmore lanes was excellent in helping all involved and accommodating their needs!

Huge bowling alley w/many lanes (~52). Food is not bad but expensive esp if feeding a family of four - could easily run you $65 - but also depends on what you order. Bar area $12-15 for a shot but it was a decent size shot (prices just went up). Overall, like most places, once in a while it's worth it but it could hit your pockets if it's a regular thing. Friendly staff. Many arcade games. Plenty of parking. Second photo is a panorama view starting from lane 2 or 3 looking down to the rest of the lanes.

Havent been to the bowling alley in 20 years and BOY! am i missing out. I had the best time and the general manager Bridget and her team, especially Linda and Jovan, were super friendly and made the experience so much better!! I definitely recommend getting back in the bowling alley cause you don't know what you're missing out on.

I had the absolute pleasure of being helped by Bridget at AMF strathmore lanes, and I can honestly say she made the entire experience amazing from start to finish. She was incredibly welcoming, attentive, and had such a positive attitude that it made everyone around her smile. Whether it was helping us with our lane, explaining things clearly, or just checking in to make sure we were having a great time, she went above and beyond. It's rare to find someone who brings that much energy and kindness to their j

I grew up in town, I always enjoy this bowling alley. It's not fancy but it's perfect for a bowling and hangout. You can just ask for the bumpers and the ramp for young kids at no charge. They have an arcade with about ten games, which is perfect so you don't spend a million dollars there. It's great to relax and bring the kids with no pressure. Plenty of parking. Bathrooms weren't the cleanest however it's not a fancy place. I enjoy it

This place was updated within the past year and it is very nice now. The arcade has expanded and they have a lot more games for the kids to play. The only complaint I have with this location is the food service is slow. It does take a while to get but the food always comes out very hot and is delicious.

The staff was very attentive and informative with any questions we had. Our ability to enter and start bowling was seamless. This bowling alley was full and active, clearly a sign of an establishment that provides a great time! Thank you to the team for providing us with a great time and service!

Great place. Fun and good food! Really nice staff!

AMF Strathmore Lanes is a great place to go bowling with friends and family. The lanes are well-maintained, and the atmosphere is fun and lively. The staff is friendly and helpful, making sure everything runs smoothly. They also have a good selection of food and drinks to enjoy while playing. Whether you're a serious bowler or just there for fun, it's a great spot for a good time.

Corrine and Bridget are very nice and friendly. They were very helpful.the staff with smiles and very nice. Definitely will come back.

Not great. Bathrooms (both men and women) disgusting) service in aspects of friendliness definitely not there at all. Bar tenders are very inexperienced and unfriendly. Drinks are even worse. Definitely would not recommend if there is another place local that's better.

Went this past Friday and everything was amazing! Bar makes great drinks, staff was friendly, and the facilities were super clean and well kept. Will definitely be giving them more business in the future.

Very modern and updated facility. Friendly and helpful staff. Julissa made sure everyone in our group had drinks.

Great time.... fun was had by all. Jilisia was our server. Great service it was like she red our minds when we needed service

I spoke to Jenn at the pro shop who was knowledgeable and very helpful. She actually watched me bowl for several frames and offered tips. Then, she picked out several types of balls that would not just be improving my game but adapted with me and keep working while I'm improving. I ended up with a Hammer, Black Widow off the shelf. She measured and changed my old measurements. Then drilled it and had me bowl a game after to see an immediate improvement from my 30yr old Hammer nail ball. Of at least 25% incr

i love everything about this bowling alley. the vibes, the food, the music, the staff. everyone is so nice, welcoming, and professional. i accidentally online ordered to the wrong store and the manager accommodated for me. i?ll always choose AMF Strathmore lanes over any bowling alley.

Had a blast with the kids and the grandparents the service was excellent and even the food was top notch!!

Excellent service. Clean and friendly staff. Immediately addresses concerns. Great fun for the family. We highly recommend!

Waste of time. While the wait for a lane was brief it took an hour to complete a single game. This is due to three lane breakdowns. My group was moved to another lane complete our game. Took an undue amount of pressure on the manager to be properly compensated for our trouble. These equipment troubles widespread many the groups bowling at the time when we were attempting to bowl.

Food was above average for a Bowling Alley. Quite good. Reasonably priced and not too nightclubby for a Bowling Alley

Chris was wonderful his service was amazing!

It's genuinely a clean and nice bowling alley. Chris and Hunter are quick to give people lanes and help out with anything. Would come again.

GO SEE CJ! Will hook you up with professionalism, knowledge and all around good vibes!

Employees are really nice and amazing. Hunter, Linda and Chris made me feel welcomed and where super pleasant to be around

The food here is great, staff are very kind and the overall experience has been amazing for the over 6 years I've been here for

Tried to have fun with family and friends on Saturday night, but it's almost impossible if the lanes are malfunctioning, Snack bar ran out of the food, the toilets are nasty and clogged. Extremely poorly ran business. It's a shame because it's local and now we have to look for something else

Excellent bowling alley! Linda made our time Friday night feel right at home. Will most definitely return!

Amazing staff and location!!! The manager Linda was especially helpful when booking a lane to bowl, recommend this place for everyone !

The special Olympics event was amazing! Great fun for the kids! They really updated the bowling facility. The snack restaurant is on the expensive side. Very nice people hosting the event! Would recommend bringing the kids here all the time!! A++

Great prices, great food, great bar selection. Family and I had a great time for Mothers day!

amazing place as always ?? they have upgraded so much LOVE coming here , Linda was amazing and I hurt myself and she treated me so kindly

Love it here! They remodeled and the atmosphere is so chill. Definitely come check it out!!

Have been many times, the place to go when you consider bowling, great staff as well! Linda is an outstanding manager!

Fun evening, Great atmosphere, lots of TV screens playing music and videos. Good service Just a good time.

The manager Linda was very friendly and attentive, amazing host! Had a lot of fun, thank you!

The backdrop at the end of the alleys doesn't resemble a true bowling alley. Used to bowl there years ago, and it seemed more spacious then. Now it seems cramped, and the colors make it drab. Hamilton Lanes is the best by far for serious bowlers.

A very average bowling alley. My partner had a poor experience with the bartender here and her review was removed. As a result I'm not sure how comfortable I feel coming back. The lanes are not quite the best quality and it largely depends on the night that you come here. It's unfortunate as this is one of the more accessible bowling lanes in the area. I also noticed that I left a review for the pro shop, and that review was removed at some point with no notification on my end. Below, I am pasting the rev

Been here many times. Great staff and fun to bowl at. Definitely reccomend

My friend was a piece of shit that dropped a beer glass and Chris had to pick it up he's the best

Went in on a busy Saturday night and was surprised at the quality of the service the staff was able to give me given how busy they were. Hot fresh food, clean environment, quality bowling and a solid staff worthy of my time to do a review. Keep up the good work! If you're looking for a weekend spot to spend your time locally, this place is it!

Chris was the best!! Bowling here was super fun, affordable and a great time

Good experience overall. The men's restroom was treacherous (it's probably hard to stay on top of.. so no points off for that). The walking surface is very uneven near the restroom as well something's under the carpet I guess (points off for that). 12/27/22

Great staff and host clean environment my family and I enjoyed our visit

Great food and great place, super nice people and it's clean and welcoming.

Like the old show Cheers, Linda and all the staff members warm my heart, as they welcomes me by name, each time I come to attempt to beat my bowling high score. It's nice to go where everyone knows your name. That's customer service, at it's finest! AMF Strathmore Lanes has the best staff and is full of high energy, great music, clean lanes, bathroom, great food, drinks and arcade, family fun for everyone! Thank you!

My son who turned 23 yesterday.Chose to celebrate with friends and family at this establishment.Everyone had a great time.I highly recommend due to availability of lanes.A very clean environment.Great place to make memories.Thanks a million for everything!

Went on Friday and had a lot of fun! Place was busy and we were well taken care of!

Love it here. Been coming for years. Great staff and super clean!

Haven't been there in years. I previously bowled in leagues there. They seemed to to a good job of updating and refreshing the place. Recently, I went there for a children's birthday party. I only tried the boneless wings which were delicious and flavorful. The rest of the food looked good. I would recommend that they have more than one register to process guests. The pizza, cheese sticks, chips and salsa and chicken fingers all looked good.

The staff is always friendly helpful and the place is clean. We love it here

Amazing atmosphere and amazing service! Defiantly come here if your trying to have fun!

Great ally! Super friendly staff! Leagues here are a great time and organized 10/10

Amazing place to bowl with good food and a great atmosphere and plus the drinks are super strong !

Came with my family on a Friday night and Linda made our night extra special and extra fun! Will be back!

Placebo great place to bowl, food and beer reasonable. Prive was a little high. But I got 40$ off will my military discount. The honor veterans.

Love the place. The lights look good and staff is friendly!

Bridget, Corrine and the staff here are awesome. fun times.

Freaking love this place. Great staff, great memories

Great time with the company for a company outing. Great service, good time, good people. Will be back.

Come here often, great staff, great lanes! Linda is amazing, very helpful !

AMF has great lanes friendly workers, and great food. Well come her alot more with friends and family

Very nice atmosphere, great service. Clean most importantly!

Love coming here! Best prices and great environment

Always a fun time. Staff is friendly and accommodating.

Was very clean plenty of parking curtious staff the only down fall negative was their pricing of their concessions I never thought a medium size soda would cost over $5 very disappointed in that part of this alley

Amazing bowling alley! Games! Awesome service. Let's gooooo

It was amazing staff is so friendly especially Chris.

Staff were great Managers Bridget and Corrine were awesome

Since switching from strathmore lanes to "bowlero" they've gone downhill so quickly. Poorly run business with awful prices and staff that doesn't know what they're doing.

Horrible experience first time back in a year or two and I cant belive the difference it looks so nice just to be treated poorly by the staff who has no idea what they are doing and the prices are ridiculous

Place in a great only gotten better over the years! Love coming here with the fam

2 years ago, i posted a review about how much my family and I loved this bowling alley. Since then, Bowlero has changed everything to do with it. The alley used to be family first and not income forward. I can't even describe how much it has changed in only 4 years and now they are forcing Big Daddy's Pro Shop to leave without a good reason, they are changing the alley into a night club atmosphere instead of being an affordable family fun place, and the corporate aspect of Bowlero doesn't seem to care about

Great place for families or with friends would recommend to anyone in the central Jersey area!

We held our company party at Strathmore Lanes. From start to finish it was an easy, seamless process. From Carli who helped me with picking the package that worked best for our budget, and collecting names ahead of the party so they could be preset on the lanes, to George who greeted our staff and managed all the shoe rental handouts quickly, to Kim who set up our food table with personal touches (our School's name in lights!). George and Kim continued to check in with our staff to make sure they were satis

My experience here was awesome Linda really helped us

good rusel kashmere sucks tho he keep taking my turn

The service was very good and the drinks were amazing too

Been going here since I was a teenager. Now I bring my three kids and we all have a great time bowling and the birthday parties are always done so well. Thank you

Fantastic atmosphere but I'm terrible at bowling so I'm not having a golly good time

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

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.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

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.

What should I bring to an arcade?

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.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

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.

Can I meet new people at arcades?

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.

Are arcades still just for kids?

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.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

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.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

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.”

Are pool tables in arcades still good in this modern age?

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.
