I recently had my son?s fifteenth birthday party ?? at the Fontana Bowlero lanes. The service was excellent. The hostess and service were top-notch, delivering a very festive atmosphere and experience for my son and his many guests. So much so that my thirteen-year-old wants his upcoming birthday party here also, so I'll see you soon!
My son's 11th birthday party was so great! The staff on Saturday all went above and beyond, and their party decorations were top tier! Our family and friends all had such fun. The chicken strips were really good, and everyone enjoyed their time bowling. Thank you for making my son's birthday a great time to remember. Would highly recommend Bowlero for birthday parties.
Amazing customer service!!! We had our Carter High School Varsity Baseball, Team Bonding Night, and honestly Veronica was AMAZING!!! I was so impressed with her and everyone there that helped make this experience so memorable, they even surprised the team with a shout out and good wishes on our season. Great job to the manager on duty, they decorated and personalized our lanes, she has a great team working with her. ??????
Absolutely the best experience I have had in a very long time. Customer service was top tier. Jason the manager was our first encounter and was extremely nice and greeted us with such hospitality. Marquis is an amazing host and keeps the entire place entertained with his beautiful spirit and voice. Truly is the reason I would continue to come back. Such a great vibe and time with family! Food and drinks were amazing! Thank you for a great Sunday funday for me and my family!
We waited 1 hour for a quesadilla. We were done bowling our 3 games and the quesadilla is still no where to be seen. Theres only like 7 lanes in use, u can see it in my video. whats the issue?
We have been here 2 times in the past couple of weeks and have had a great time! The customer care is amazing at this location! Marquis made our 2 hours at the alley feel like home! He went above and beyond to provide great service and hospitality! You don't see that anymore! He was kind, courteous and attentive! We felt like family to him! While he stood out all of the team members were amazing! Paul, Marco, and Melissa are a few we interacted with! Great job team! We will be back for sure! You guys turned
Lanes and ambiance are nice. Seating area needs updating so does the score computer screens and interface. But a perfect place to have an enjoyable bowling experience. Great service.
We had a great time,we went for my wife's birthday and our host Marquise made it one of the most memorable and special birthdays. Seriously over the top customer service. Thanks Marquise!
The service Angie provided is always top notch. I had a blast, service was great and thanks for making amazing drinks !! Service was remarkable at the bar the bartender was patient, flexible, and went above and beyond to meet my needs. Angie is a master of drinkology and she makes the dining and drinking experience memorable . Thank you so much.
This is really bad behavior by MELLISA. We were five people over there at night around 9 tp 10 we asked about adding players and some other quarries about the bowling but she literally ignore us and denied to help us. It was so roud behavior she ruined our night. We had terrible experience over there mainly because of that MELLISA as from the time we reached her. She rude with us and unprofessional work skills .
Super Clean Alley! Very Courteous Staff! Great place to spend time with the family or friends! Also a great place for a birthday party!
This is a good size bowling alley with an arcade, pro shop, a bar area, and snack bar. They have specials throughout the week like $16.89 for unlimited bowling after 8pm on Mondays. There are huge tv screens that play music videos and sports. If you into neon bowling this place is where you need to be, because everyday is neon bowling, but not to feel where you can't see. I tried their chicken sandwich and it was fire. Came Hot, the chicken was crispy on the outside, yet the meat was still juicy and t
First time for an after work get-together. Great food and arcade. Lots of fun! I'll be coming back!
Had an amazing experience with my family. Despite one of our lanes constantly shutting down it was perfect and the staff from the manager on down was great!!
Hear me out y?all! Y?all bored pull up with a reservation the staff is friendly and they made sure it was us so there not giving the reservations out to just anyone . We had fun and they had good as music tonight so they needa stay on aux! Big D out!
My son had his 18th birthday party here and he said it was great. Great food and service. They did bowling 2h, pool 2h and arcade. Not that expensive if you fet the special. I recommend it.
My husband and I visited this establishment on 2/13. I was very impressed right from the beginning! Melissa had checked us in and had the absolute best attitude and demeanor. She is everything you'd want in a customer service environment. Throughout our evening, I approached the front desk and she was there to answer my questions. I even asked where the extra bowling balls were and instead of pointing in the general direction, which most people do, she actually showed me the way. After bowling we ended up
The service was outstanding, and ANGIE was exceptionally friendly. Love her professionalism she's an amazingly skilled mixologist loved her pot of gold drinks .
I was here a few months back to play some pool? The tables looked like someone urinated all over the table. I came yesterday and the tables looked worse. I could only stand 20 minutes. If you're coming to bowl then more power to ya. However if you want to play pool avoid this place like the plague. In fact I had to scrub my hands when I was done. The tables smelled like urine. If you have 5- eight or nine foot tables, then you're obligated to care for them. Those tables looked like they're used to wipe your
What a hole in the wall. Seating is horrible, the customer service is a joke, and man talk about a ghetto atmosphere ????
Awesome place to go bowling with family! Has an arcade, too!
We had such a great time we definitely will be going back
They don't oil the lanes for unsanctioned leagues, nor do they adequately maintain the lanes they sent aside for those leagues. Workers are nice though.
Good place to bowl ?? it's hard to notice from the street, because it's back /hidden by trees and other buildings. It is in a more run down area of the city (its right near Walmart on Sierra /Foothill) but....the facilities are clean and decent, nothing is broken down, despite being older. There are some REALLY good deals on games and shoe rentals, especially on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The bar area has a good selection of beers and mixed drinks, the pool tables are good and the little for ki
Excellent atmosphere. Great service. And a very fun time.
4 stars mostly because Marv in the pro shop is just an outstanding goy and a hall of famer btw.....excellent experience.
We celebrated my son's 18th birthday here, and everything about our experience was amazing! The staff were great, and Alicia and Jessica were especially awesome and were extremely attentive to us! They have great party packages with reasonable prices, and the food was so delish. Definitely recommend it! They decorated the counters by my son's lanes and even gave him a birthday card. My husband and I played pool and had drinks while the boys bowled and enjoyed the arcade. We can't wait to go back! Thanks Bow
Great place to host a part or any get together with friends
Great service, great atmosphere, and fun for all.
Had some lane issues but good overall
Made reservations for a birthday here, the moment we checked in all the staff was really friendly and helpful. Marquis assisted us the entire time and really went above and beyond!!!! Constantly checking in on alllll of my party, refilling our drinks, serving food and cleaning up as the kids ate. Whatever we needed, he was on it!!! Everything was ready to go as soon as we arrived. 10/10!!! Will definitely be booking another birthday here again.
Had a great time with my family. We didn't eat any food, but everyone there was so friendly. The workers interacted with us and genuinely helped us. At one point when we asked to change the tv station to a football game instead, they didn't even hesitate. Overall, I look forward to visiting again.
Bowling is high (expensive) but our party of eight had a great time for two hours. Almost 3 full rounds. We shared two samplers and had water to drink. They have pool tables and an arcade as well
Nice friendly staff and everything seemed clean.
The staff is always very nice and accommodating.we go weekly since we have our summer passes.we eat everytime we go.its always fun.
Ok so personally I love this place I have been going here for years and never been disappointed friendly staff and good music keep the good times rolling (pun intended)
Went there this early afternoon and had an amazing time. The customer service is top notch, food was great and the manager was awesome! Had some issues with the lane and the ball return, but the manager was on it with a smile.
Great place, good food, great store. Great service.
From the moment we came we were greeted so well. For our first time being here, Marquis and Drew explained everything to us and made our family outing memorable. Great customer service and a fun time. We will be coming back! Go Celtics!!!(This is for Marquis).
Alisha our birthday host was awesome. She went way above and beyond. We kept asking her for everything under the sun and she just kept coming back with what we asked for and a smile.. All the kids and adults alike had a blast. The best part. We just pay the bill and go home.
The lane kept turning off and we had to keep asking them to turn it back on. We did that 5-6 times before we switched lanes and even that lane had problems. Overall we had fun and the food was good but I don't know if we would return to play. It's really expensive and sucked that we had so many interruptions.
Excellent place to enjoy a great time of bowling and fun with family and friends.
Something changed here. Employees were polite and helpful. It's cleaner and fun. Bowling is fine. If your hungry and in a hurry go to McDonald's. If you wanna bowl play pool arcade game come here next.
Its always Fun to Bowl, we had my sons celebration here and it was a great experience! We all enjoyed the food, bowling and the great service!! Thank you Bowlero Team!!
Do not waste your money at this establishment!!!! My had an absolutely terrible experience here. I spent almost $200 to take my children there and the lanes didn't even work. The first lane we were on kept miscalculating the score and needed to be reset multiple times. They gave us a free pizza, then moved us to another lane. That was worse than the first one again miss calculating scores and constantly need to be reset. The little guy that runs down to the lane to fix the machine when it would jam basical
My friends and I had a decent time bowling here at this establishment. The price of the food was a bit astronomical, but it's expected for a place like this. If you come here to bowl, have a couple pitchers of beer, an appetizer or two... you WILL have a blast of a time! Only gripe is, some of the bowling shoes that they give you are quite used or disgusting. Other than that, delightful. I haven't tried the cosmic bowling yet, but as soon as I do, I'll update this review to include that as well.
Buffalo wings here are delicious! Had fun playing Pool here and enjoyed the music selection. It was a crowded Friday night and they had armed security patrolling which made me feel safe, appreciated that!
It was great until our lane 16 stopped working pressed the help button n the service button on the key pad multiple times no help so we decided to leave since we got no assistance.
Food and atmosphere was great. I paid well over $400 and I wish they would?ve explained to me the deals. I originally signed up for the large pizza with the jug drink deal. The guy came back and said I would qualify for an extra deal which was all you can drink for 2 hours. He didn't explain it was $100.
Loving our new family night. Lots of fun. And great savings on groupon.
I was a little skeptical about going because I have only heard negative comments about this place, but my friend really wanted to go so I made reservations. It was honestly a really amazing experience and all the staff we interacted with were so nice. I will definitely be coming back.
Great place. We always have a great time here. Kinda pricey but always a lot of fun. Tonight when we came in we were helped at the front desk by Melissa ! This girl needs a raise! Shes awesome! Very friendly and knowledgeable! Extremely likable person. She is definitely the right person to have working the front counter! Like I said, give the girl a raise! She deserves it!
Customer service was great. The party host was great and attentive. The salad with the holiday package was very good. Would have preferred pepperoni pizza instead of cheese, and the spring rolls were very good. Libations were on point as well. Establishment was clean. Minimal technical issues with the lanes but staff was on top of it. Everyone enjoyed themselves.
Had such a good time. Reserved two lanes through their website for a birthday party. Such a great deal. Spent about 2 hours. Got food which was delicious. Service was fantastic. They were all nice and friendly. Kids had a blast.
They seems to have more reservations for bowling teams rather than just regular people who want to go bowling. It was a two hour wait with nothing to show for it. The workers are not to blame as they're just doing their job, but I honestly think it's ridiculous that I had to wait 2 hours just to take my little siblings bowling. I left due to the long wait, it's a shame really.
First time here and I loved it. I was there for a birthday party that we booked and the service was amazing not to mention the food and drinks were on point. Thank you for making it a great experience. 10star
I came here with my family on a Friday around 4 pm. It wasn't too crowded. The food was surprisingly good for bowling food. We had the alley sampler and the chicken quesadilla. The cheese bread in the sampler was a little colder than the rest of the food. I think they made it before the other sides, and it lost its heat temperature. If you want to eat, rent your lane, especially if you have small children. If you're not actively in your lane, you will be told to eat at the at the tall tables. As a parent, I
It was my birthday and i had a wonderful time, customer service was great and I'm hoping to join a league there. So much fun, cant wait to go there again. Thank you
Shout out to Dray, and Brianna for great customer service during our family outing. Thank you all for a great time. Nice seeing security keeping it a safe place
Was told there would be a wait. But here I am 90 minutes later with no text confirmation. They also had no cheese for nachos. We never got a chance to bowl.
Our waitress was good. The game kept glitching and it was super hot and humid inside. The kids shoes were either too small or too big. We reserved a lane for 4 of us for 2 hours and when we got there realized it would have probably been way cheaper to just pay by the game.
This place is awesome with great service. Just wish they were connected to lane talk.
Lanes are crowded but good customer service and clean location.
Exellent place for family and friends good prices
Absolutely the best team banquet experience ! I booked for our end of season football & cheer team, The staff made this process so easy for me! Each team member was working with a great sense of urgency. The GM Danny & manager Jessica were GREAT ! Team staff were continuously checking on us. Everything that we asked for was provided quickly. We will definitely be booking again next season! -Rialto Panthers
Enjoyed a wonderful evening celebrating the Birthdays of family members. Staff paid close attention to our needs without getting in the way. The atmosphere was electric and gave us ample space for the adults and kids. I recommend this venue for all who are looking for a good time
I recently went to Bowlero Fontana and had a great time! The bowling lanes were in great condition, and there were plenty of other games and activities to keep us entertained. The food and drinks were also decent a little iffy, and the staff was friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a fun night out!
Manager was awesome and friendly. Helped alot and made sure we were taken care of and had service at all times. For the location it is well maintained and kept clean. Great crew working at this location
Came here with the guys and had a great time. The price we paid was good. We ended up playing 4 games and shoes and paid 15$ and some change this pass Sunday. Their snack bar was fairly price. We are in talks about coming here weekly because we had a great time. The staff was super nice and cool. Great customer and the waitress from the snack bar was on point.
Jessica was absolutely amazing! Any questions we had and anything we needed she was right there to answer them. Great customer service from all employees and would definitely recommend!
I had my daughter's birthday party here. It was amazing. The workers were super helpful with anything we needed and would always offer to help. The food was good and everyone we invited had a great time. I will definitely be going back and I do recommend this place for anyone looking for fun with or without the kiddos.
My party and I had a Groupon that was giving me trouble but the staff said they would honor it anyway. Since I had called before we even left the house, they also mentioned that there's going to be a wait for lanes soon, so they could put me on the waitlist. I agreed since the drive was going to be long. Once we arrived, we had to wait in line at the counter to be accommodated. That took about 15 minutes. Once we ?checked in,? staff said we're still on the waitlist but there's one party ahead of us so it sh
We celebrated my son's birthday and everyone was very friendly. I really liked the service they gave us. I would definitely return to celebrate another birthday there.
Oh god, where to begin... Disclosure: I'm commenting on the experience moreso the facility (though I have comments on that also). The place itself isn't ghetto but the clientele definitely was the Saturday night I visited. Kids running all over the place, people cutting in line, trying to bargain for a better price leading to a longer wait as the employees, admirably kept their cool and responded professionally. Hey, I'm all for a better deal, but you're likely not gonna get one at a franchise store. The
Great family time. Had a large group and all went well.
I can't say enough great things about Bowlero and the Managers JESSICA and ALICIA!!. 3/26/22 we celebrated my Finance?s birthday there and everything was perfect. The managers (Jessica and Alicia) were AWESOME. They gave us VIP treatment and constantly checked on not just my table but all guests there, I even saw one of the Manger?s, Jessica showing a guest how to bowl I was so impressed! They brought out our birthday cake with candles right on time. The food was also great. I highly recommend this place f
I would have given 5 stars cause my wife and I had a great time, but it was so crowded you had to ask people if you could look through the balls on their return cause there weren't any on the rack. And someone took our triangle off our pool table while we were at the bar. But other than that I enjoyed it. And will definitely be back
Lane kept braking down the whole game and the food is way different now it used to be pretty good now it taste like straight cafeteria food really disappointed
@ Jessica Event Host- is amazing! Traveled from Palm Springs and she made it worth my travels! She and her coworker made our bday bash on point! She could not have made it better because she was so resourceful, friendly and PRODUCTIVE. If she is not manager they need to make her manager because she explains everything perfectly. the Bowling alley is modern , upgraded, clean and good vibes.
Went last night with my son the place was packed waiting for a lane took a lil while it's understandable kids are on spring break it was cool that they where giving out playing cards the cashier Dan was very friendly and help full also the manager is doing an awesome job amazing attitude my son and I had so much fun I have gone to other bowling alley?s ands the restrooms where nasty not this place is clean and well kept keep it up guys doing a good job
Our hostess was awesome. Can't remember her name ?? ??. The bar drinks are not even worth the wait! Ordered an Adios and said bye to it immediately! Tasted like ice and blue curacao. Glad to see it open again because it will give our children something to do!
Me and my love went there for the first time tonight (Saturday) they had the glow in the dark bowling, pool, arcade and bar. We tried it all. pretty good drinks. We got 2 long islands 1 jack and coke and 1 beer for about $35. Bowling was $25 for 1 game plus shoes for 2 people and pool was 15 for an hour. It was a good environment I enjoyed myself. Staff was nice enough. We will be back.
It has great deals.. but this is the second time in a row their kitchen completely forgot to make our order. And when we had just settled in to eat and bowl (during out second frame) we were asked if we would be okay with moving so they could clean lanes. They didn't force us to so we were able to stay where we were, but it still felt a little thoughtful given that we just got food and were towards the end of our second round.
We came here for a group event and had A-blast! The bartenders were great and the service was awesome! The food was really good and the asada fries were bomb!! We plan on doing another group outing here again!
The bowling was fun, the staff that I did interact with was nice. However this Bowlero could use a bit of work. The lane we bowled on wasn't working very well. A few times it would go to the next bowler after only one throw, and another time it miscounted the reamaining pins. The ball return was really slow, it wouldn't return the ball immediately, and when it finally did return the ball there was 3 balls together. This made for slow play, and if you brought your own ball, which I did, it was really sl
The staff was amazing. Everyone involved in helping with our party did a great job. They accommodated all of our needs without any issues. We'll likely plan another party here in the near future.
We had a great time.. we had a birthday party for my 6 year old grandson who loves to bowl ..it's large and has a large amount of lanes and tables..a snack bar...and a bar..and game room..it's very clean..and the staff were very friendly...in my opinion it gets an 11 out of 10 ??
Great place to bowl. They always have deals for bowling during the week. If you get the munchies, the snack bar is okay, and prices are somewhat reasonable. The staff members are cool. HOWEVER, THE DRINK PRICES FROM THE BAR ARE OUTRAGEOUS!!!. $31 for 2 DRINKS!!!! That's Crazy! Other than that it was alright.
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.
