Customer Reviews

We just celebrated our son's 8th Birthday here at Bowlero and by far hands down 10/10!! 100/100!! It was so stress free, so easy, so accommodating, so much fun, Food was great, So much space for all your Family and Friends and the best part is they're so respectful and kind and it seems like the 5:30pm slot was not as busy. All staff and especially our host Mr. Noe and his manager Robert are really great, and they went above and beyond for us! We have never booked a party here before and we will definitely

Had a great time with family, plenty of lanes open, food and drinks were great and we had an awesome server, Mikayla. She is a delight, cheerful and so very helpful!! If bowling isn't your thing, but everyone else enjoys it, they have an arcade, pool tables and laser tag, which Mikayla told us about. We will be returning for sure!

Great place to get some bowling in. Over all the food is decent and the prices are resonable. Amazing bar for those who like an adult beverage. The game section is small but the laser tag is a worth a try. Service is execellent and attentive. Overall worth a try.

The manager Brandon was nothing less than amazing. He is a true definition of an angel, very respectful, very much hospitable, and the true definition of staff that focuses on their guests he continuously checked up on us, made sure we were comfortable. We had the correct food and drinks if you ask me, I think this guy deserves a raise

My wife and I haven't been bowling in a long time. So we decided to go. We had a blast. We recommend this place.

This was only my second time here.. walking in today I felt so welcomed from the greeting as we entered the facility.. to the manager Robert introducing himself and asking of we needed anything he around. To our server Janie being very friendly very helpful and available as when needed.. will surely be returning to for another fun night of bowling with the Family and friends..

My son and I really enjoyed our visit. Not 5star perfect- some employees attitudes and helpfulness, and bathroom cleanliness can be improved. And we didn't have any food or drinks, so I can't attest to quality or value. Bowling, laser tag, and arcade were super fun! The entire location is fun for family or adults. We will definitely be back, and hope to see the 4 stars turn to 5 on our next visit.

First time here and will definitely will be coming back and bringing the whole family.. from the start the employees were friendly and helpful.. The manager Robert waw present and within view at all times our server Janie was very respectful and helpful she was very knowledgeable about the food games and drinks made my n my group experience very at easy.. oh might I add very clean environment..

Went there this past Saturday. Great experience. Noe was super helpful and went above and beyond. Highly recommend for a fun family night out.

Hello, boyfriend and I have been coming to play here to the point where we make it our fun little hobby, to our own shoes, to our own bowling balls. We usually pay for the 2 hours, that can get us about 7 games, but now we got their season cards for two free games. Which also gives us discounts off their food and drinks. The service sucks, they never come up to us. Until we come up to them. After we've played our 2-3 game, thinking we can give them a chance to help us, (they don't). We are to the point whe

Great customer service!!! Always willing to help solve any problem ..Employees are very nice especially Noe he's always there with a smile on his face ready to help whenever needed

We came in for a birthday party of 7 were told an hour and half wait so we found a place to sit and eat. Ate for like 2 hours to be told it'll be another 30 minutes. All while 6-7 lanes are open right in front of us (I understand that they maybe held for reservations but nobody ever showed up) finally get to a lane and it's not working properly to have to wait another 20 minutes for them to fix it. Want to spend over $400 dollars on bowling and food and have to wait for almost 3 hours before you actually ge

Fun filled evening with the family! We came bowling with the family and had the BEST experience thanks to Mikayla! She took care of our food and drinks needs and was always smiling! Defiantly would come back and ask for her!

I had a great time and Noe Ortiz was awesome and I give him and his service a 5 ?? . Whenever you head to Bowlero in Corpus Christi, Tx. Ask for Noe Ortiz he will definitely take good care of you.

Noe was an amazing host! Definitely made my son's 16th birthday party a great event! Can't wait to plan our future parties and request him. Super attentive and great attitude!

The staff was very welcoming and helpful, Anna at the front desk did a great job by letting us know about tonight?s specials, and the bartender isael was very helpful and attentive and made good drinks. The manager Brandon was very helpful and did a great job helping us have a great time

Never any lanes, can be completely empty and they say all the lanes are either for league's or reserve, they open at 4pm during the week and can't even get a lane right at opening. They need to open sooner or have dedicated lanes for walk ins. Not like it matters, they are expensive anyways, if you can, go bowl on base, there is a way for non military to get a MWR card to get access on base. It's way cheaper and the staff is ten times better, also don't have to worry about league's taking more then half

Fun place to take the whole family. Brandon took great care of us. Pizza was delicious & they have a decent happy hour. Arcade was a hit with the little ones & we can't wait to try laser tag next time we go.

Mikayla was my server!!! She was great and I really appreciated her hard work that night. Love this place. Will definitely be coming back for a birthday party in the future??

The CC manager, Brandon, and his staff were so great and made everything so easy with the first birthday party we had here, that we decided to have our other kid?s birthday party here a few months later. The first was a 16th birthday celebration and they decorated the food table so cute with a fun light up sign and took care of everything, I was able to sit back and enjoy the fun. We just had a 10th birthday party here and Brandon, our party host Philip, and staff were attentive and communicative, and again

Manager Brandon was amazing checked on us made sure we had every thing we needed and was a great host thank you brandon

Excellent experience, staff is great ,place is very clean . Thank you to Jeremy and Nia for making a fun and comfortable time ??. God bless ?????????

I would like to shout out Jazz and Anna for great costumer service. The establishment was very clean and the ladies at the front where very nice and helpful. We will definitely be back!

We had a lot of fun. I had a great Groupon deal. The staff was awesome, and the bathrooms were clean. Definitely, we'll go again

Fun family time! Definitely recommend. Friendly staff and had a great experience. We were on the waitlist and it went by much quicker than we thought.

Had a great time. Hard to find bowling balls to use. Had to grab from another lane. Friendly staff. The price is a little high for us. But all in all a great place.

I went with a group of friends and had the best time here. Our server, Mikayla, was awesome and was a lot of help and nice! Definitely coming back again :D

My family had a blast! Any time you go here ask for Noe, he was fantastic!!

People at the front desk and at the alley were friendly. Food was ok.. perhaps a bit over-priced, but that is almost expected in a bowling place like this. The lane had a couple of issues, both with the pins and the balls not getting returned. On Monday morning the place was not too packed and the atmosphere was relaxed and cozy.

Had my daughter?s 22nd birthday party there Brandon the manager was very courteous and professional, Definitely will be back next year. Great experience.

Noe is a great server. Had lots of fun i would highly recommend this place

I had a great time with my friends there. There was a bartender...Noe. He knew how to make us laugh and took care of us, Thank you Noe!!

I don't understand why it's so expensive. For 4 of us it was $121 and some change. Cashier stated it was $11 each person and $6 to rent shoes. We paid for our food and drinks at the bar so tell me why even after taxes why we paid almost double for the 4 of us to bowl?? Yes Ive already emailed their so called customer complaint email. For an establishment that is older and not any different from any other bowling establishment that this one is the most expensive we've ever been to. Honestly look else where u

I took my wife,2 kids,and parents to bowl. The price about have me a stroke. Bowled 5 games and it cost $351.00. 5 sodas 1 pitcher of beer was close to 50.00. we won't come back at those prices. We will bowl in Aransas Pass for about 1/3 of that price

Had a great time bowling on a random Wednesday evening. Noe was an excellent server, very attentive.

Me and my husband had a wonderful date night there ?? You could order and pay easily on a touchscreen specific to your lane that made it very convenient as well. The bowling was a lot of fun and the bumpers could be programmed to be up or down according to the players needs. I only tried the pretzel and cheese appetizer and it was very good though a little more expensive than I would?ve liked. Overall we had a great time! The rental shoes didn't stink and were in good condition.

Ick, ick, ick. Hot sticky humid inside as if air conditioner was left off all night & just turned on right before we came in to bowl. They need to continuously pull moisture out of the inside in this area. The approaches and floors were dirty & sticky. This place is located in a humidity part of the country & apparently the owners of Bowlero do not know or care anything about the sport of bowling. They only seem to want to cater to party groups. They also changed out regular bowling pins for pins connected

Noe gives me excellent service! He is great and is always on top of it.

Great place for the family! Noe was so awesome he was attentive, professional and helpful! We'll definitely come back!

Went bowling on 2/1/25. We met up with some friends that were already bowling in lane 39. When we went to purchase shoe rentals to join them, the cashier told us she was charging us for a game plus the shoes. We asked if that meant we were receiving an additional game on lane 39 since we were joining them at a lane that had a game paid for. She said no, that she had to charge us for a game and the shoes and we would have to pay for another game after their game ended either way. Help me make this make sense

Was a bit pricey, who am I kidding it was very pricey but well worth the memories I will have spending time with my grandkids seeing there faces light up with they're accomplishments, they are everything to me and Bowlero has very kind and helpful employees, they are willing to assist in the most. Thank you Bowlero for your kindness and for our memories. ??

Awesome place to take the family and have a great time. We celebrated our daughter?s 9th birthday today! Everyone had a blast! The lazer tag really tires out the kiddos. Lee, the manager was on top of things and went the extra mile for our get together. Thanks for making her day special.

A very fun place with delicious food to eat while you're bowling. The only problem is it's very pricey even for just 1 game plus the price for shoes. Would be a good place for people with more money

Someone gave themselves a 20% tip and then lied to my face about it. (I tipped the waitress who brought us drinks on a completely different card)

Really enjoy going to bowlero for laser tag with my family , staff is great especially Brandon Martinez he always makes sure we feel welcomed and keep coming back.

Had a great time staff was overwhelmingly helpful and attended to my family with such professionalism. I made a booboo and spilled my beer over the pizza which they without an issue repalced them both. We definitely will be returning.

Went during their special during the week. Got to play right away. The food did take long to come out. Did not realize you had to order drinks on the little monitor. Heads up. A soda glass was $3.99. For a Soda!!! Thats ridiculous. I guess i got a good deal with the promo. Place is clean. But there is not much staff to get assisted. Manager kept walking with a face like she didnt want to be there. And the dam prices for games are a joke. Horrible. U have to keep saving alot to get something mediocre.

Noe was a great host!!! Did an amazing job. Will definitely come back and request him

The atmosphere was full of energy and enthusiasm and I had a great time bowling and watching videos on the big screens above the bowling alleys. The food and drinks were amazing and the service was excellent. I would recommend Bowlero to anyone who is interested in trying it out for themselves. I guarantee they won't be disappointed.

Had a Groupon for 2 hours of bowling with shoes. We went on a noon-busy night and were able to get a lame right away. The bowling balls were scattered all over and are starting to show wear. We had a blast bowling. We, also, ate there. They have your typical bar food, but also, had a veggie burger. Their garlic parmesan fries were delicious. Drinks were well made. They automatically add an 18% service charge to the tab. Expensive place. Would not eat there again due to costs and would only go with a groupon

The staff was super friendly. The manager even came by to make sure everything was okay with our lane reservations. My only complaint would be to sanitize the arcade area a little better. We brought our own wipes from home and was surprised by the amount of junk that came off some of the machines. Other than that. We had a blast!

Had a blast with my kiddo. Good clean place and friendly staff

Great service only problem is they don't turn on the lights over the lanes I hate that come on you can have of the 40 lanes with lights on please please consider this for us league bowlers and bowlers that want to get better

Had a great time at bowlero the service from serenity was nice and she was nice!!!

We celebrated my Daughter's 10th birthday here this weekend and had the best experience! The staff was incredible and the manager was amazing ?? 10 out of 10, highly recommend! My daughter was so happy when they sang happy birthday to her over the intercom that she cried tears of joy! Bowling, laser tag session, and the arcade games were great. Super clean, friendly environment! We will be back again!

Took my 4.5 year old here for her first time bowling. She had an amazing time. The staff were very helpful in getting a ball that wasn't too heavy, setting the bumper guards up, getting a piece of equipment that helped her roll the ball, and even got one of her balls that got stuck half way down without any issue. The food we ordered came out perfect and we always had our drinks refilled before we had to ask.

Haven't been here in seven years and the prices keep going up to bad this is the only place in town to bowl. For three people just over a hundred bucks DAMN ! Other then high prices its very well kept and entertaining.

Enjoyed ourselves. Several of our church member's from East Garland COGIC went there to have a little fun and get some excercise.

It was a fun place; however, like almost half of their machines are not working. They need to fix the machines or put new ones. They also need more games and things to do. Although, I had a lot of fun with my friends.

Has a really good experience. Hadnt been here in a while and although the atmosphere is amazing the pricing is not. Especially if you go during later hours. There is a summer/ season plan which is great BUT you can't utilize it during peak hours which for parents who work 7 -5 or 6 this defeats the purpose of buying it. Drinks are made really well and the pizza is really good as well.

Brandon Martinez is the best employee that Bowlero has in Corpus Christi Texas.. his people skills are on point and his customer service is amazing

great service from mikayla. super fun and great food. hope to go again soon

Waitress was rude ask she just serve those that gives her high tips she basically told me to go to front and get my own refill and one bowler next to me he just hand her the cup for refill and she assist

Great atmosphere, very helpful staff. If you are there with a big group 4 or more I recommend the fish bowl for a drink to get every one in good spirits. Had fun.

Great experience, great service. Our server Noe was amazing. Great service, recommend 10/10

Recently had a party here and it was more than I expected. The host was so sweet and always on top of things.

Noe was a very great host and we will definitely come back to this place.

Lost of fun for the whole family. Always a good time.

Had fun with friends, the staff was very friendly and helpful, the food is a bit expensive though, other than that this is a great place to hang out and have fun with friends or family

Horrible weekend experience for a bowling tournament. Pit area was so filthy had to clean the bottom of my shoes after every shot. Water was leaking from the ceiling area thus there was a towel on the approach (lane 31). Was told there was only one cook so food took an hour. This poor maintenance is at the fault of ownership and upper management. Thanks for pushing bowlers away

I set up a party at this location for Saturday and had an amazing time it was the first time for a lot of us our sever Makayla she was Awesome took great care of us. Noe the event manager was so great with us took care us handling any of issues perfectly and timely 10/10 definitely coming again and asking for those two for my next event

Loved it here such a great place to hold events for families or company parties! The restroom was super clean they had a great options for food and drinks for all ages! It's a must go definitely. Bowling, laser tag, arcade area & pool tables for all to enjoy.

This was an awesome experience for my teenage son, just great 2hrs of bowling, plus game cards, food was awesome. Service like no other, shout out to Brandon Martinez manager at Bowlero Corpus Christi, thank you for staying on top of everything and making our son's 15th an amazing birthday. Definitely recommend the package that was sooo much food, all for such a good price, and our server she was top notch waitress!!! Thanks again Bowlero

The bowling is fine. But a complete ripped off to bowl! $17 per person to bowl a game

It wasn't crowed and the kids had a blast . The food was good and they have A long sports bar .They Also have A Arcade A, laser tag ,pool table

This place was a pleasant surprise! The drive to Bowlero isn't exciting but once we got in I was happy with the size, cleanliness and things to do. We had a birthday party here and our hostess was very attentive and kind. After our bowling time was up we moved to the arcade games which isn't a very big area but it did well for the time of day we were there. We'd go back.

Noe was an amazing host, and always had our food ready

Way overpriced but we ended up getting the summer pass for the kids so it made it worth it (purchasing online saves $5 per person). This place is freezing so be sure to bring a sweater. I wore sandles and my toes were getting frostbite by the time we left. I don't like that gratuity is included in the price for food and they still leave a tip to be filled out on the receipt. They probably get double tipped all the time. Bathrooms are so dark. They have orange lighting in it and it's just weird. ????? Seemed

We booked my son's 16th birthday party at Bowlero Corpus Christi for today. I don't ever expect things to be issue free on things like this, what matters to me is how the place deals with it when an issue arises. From booking to departure my experience was excellent. Brandon , the Corpus manager is just awesome and approaches issues with an attitude of "how can i fix this". He went out of his way to make sure that our kids had a great time. Many thanks, Brandon. It was a big success thanks to you an

We booked a party here in the laser tag area, and the kids had a blast! The staff was amazing. They were helpful and very attentive to my guests' needs. Brandon, the manager, is a great leader, he doesn't mind getting dirty mopping the floor, or cleaning a table, whatever it takes to get the job done. He was very attentive and polite. The staff introduced themselves and was constantly checking if we needed anything. I strongly recommend this place for a party or event because everyone had a good time! You

Service was great with Mikayla V! This place is friendly and clean.

Great atmosphere for a kids party. My nephew had a blast and Brandon the manager was very attentive and helpful w our party needs. Will definitely come again!!

Had a great time , nice place , great atmosphere , my waitress and the manager Brandon were great . I will definitely return to this place again .

Our Track Team (RunningMavs) from Marshall, TX had a blast... This was our first time visiting and must say we had a great experience.

This place is NOT just bowling, luckily. They ALSO have a decent arcade with about 10 unique games id say as well as lazer tag. I'd like to advise and note that you'll ONLY want to come here on Wednesday though, as you'll be getting the best prices unlike other days. The reason this review is missing a star is because their prize machine was broken and stuck and seemed to have been that way for a while without any maintenance. unfortunate.

Had a great time here. The manager Brandon was super helpful with service and the lanes are clean.

Noe was fantastic???? very informative and welcoming, ill be back??

Had some adult refreshments prepared by our friendly bartender Roland and a tasty sampler platter but most of all GREAT FAMILY FUN

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.
