Great bowling alley. Huge with plenty of lanes. The arcade and alley both have been refreshed and remolded. The arcade has been updated with lots of new cool games to entertain child and adults alike. The alley has a fresh new look with upgraded food and drink options with very nice full bar. Food is pretty good and affordable. Service is excellent and staff is very friendly. My only grief is that we don't live closer Manteca has a gem in this place
We came here for a school event, and I was really impressed with the atmosphere. The set up at the lane is easy to do. There are lots of really great games in the arcade. There's plenty of parking. We just had a really nice time.
Came here for our company holiday party and we are so happy we did! This alley is HUGE! Food court, bar and arcade too. We signed up for catering and multiple lanes for our party of 35 staff. The alley kept the food flowing and even decorated the food area with our company name in light up letters. It was a thoughtful touch to the ?VIBE? of the party. We had an assigned server that kept our food and drinks full. She was so sweet and very attentive! If we had anything to recommend it would be that the whol
Recently had my son's 12th birthday party here, what a hidden gem! Reasonably priced for two hours of bowling, including pizza, snacks, and drinks for five boys. They also included the shoe rental and arcade play cards. Our event host, Dasha (sp?), was wonderful and very attentive. The place is very clean and set up well, will definitely go back!
It has been years since my last visit, and I had a wonderful time! The bowling alley has certainly been renovated since then. We were fortunate to have a coupon for two hours of free bowling for up to five people. They offered a wide selection of bowling balls and a diverse menu of food and drinks. We also enjoyed the arcade, which, while smaller than the one in Turlock, was perfectly adequate. People of all ages seemed to be enjoying themselves, and I would highly recommend this bowling alley.
Lanes where great food was great, but the cashier tried to double charge a friend who had reserved the Lanes on his card. We all paid in cash but when he left she charged him the entire amount for everyone. Went back with the receipts of everyone who had them and still did not want to cash him out. He had to tell them to bring up the transaction on their computer and verify the recipients were real.
The bowling alley it self is awesome! But the management on 04/19/2025 was being very discriminate towards me and my family. We arrived and were told that their was no lanes with bumpers and would have to be put on a wait list. We did. We waited for about 40 minutes. Then two families were taken care of before us. When I asked about this issue I was told neither one of those lanes had bumpers, but when I checked it out, BOTH families had bumpers. After I confronted the manager about this he said that both
Build for entertaining and it does a great job. Been here for many years with my kids in NorCal Bowling Travel League and some Match Club play. The make over into a Bowlero in this huge location with so much space was a good choice. Even with more traditional league bowling centers closing and leagues harder to find, this location was fun from the minute I stepped inside. I was here for bowling travel match club and the experience was great when so many centers are making way for the more profitable open p
My Birthday weekend was ruined!! Also the one night I get off from work and sadly received the worst customer service from the employees working the counter at approximately 1036pm Saturday, April 19, the employee said that there was a wait of 14 people which was not true because online said there was availability and lanes were open.
Great time bowling and arcade is great for kids. Fun family venue. Great for parties.
Had my 7yr old son's birthday party here today. Let me tell you, our Host Zeke (sp?) was AMAZING! He checked on us frequently, ran back and forth with requests. Not once was there anything negative. My son and our guests had an absolute blast! We'd host all my kid's birthdays here if they asked. Thank you!
I went bowling with my family and when I entered the girl at the door told me it was $8 per game. When I went to pay, it was $11 per game. She says the computer changes the price, but she should explain when the price changes. If you already entered for $8, it can't change to $11. My first time was a bad experience, not because of the $3 difference in change, but because of the customer service. I don't recommend it.
Fun family friendly place with so-so food and fun arcade games. The lane 16 was breaking down often and they added 5 minutes to our 2 hours once they switched us to a different lane. The platter was good but the wings were very dry. The arcade games were great and many people won the stuffed animals out of the claw machine.
Service was friendly from all staff I interacted with. The lanes were working, the food options are good, and they have a decent size arcade with fun games. My only issue is this place is expensive compared to other bowling places.
I absolutely love this venue! I had my son?s 11TH birthday party here and everyone enjoyed it. We have nothing comparable like this in Stockton so we decided to celebrate at Manteca Bowlero. First, the price is not bad at all for what you get! I purchased the 2 hour unlimited bowling package for 5 kids at $25.99 each kid. However, you get 2 main entrees (I Chose pizza and chicken tenders) and 2 sides (I chose fruit platter and fries). They brought out like 3 different Soda pitchers for us of our choice. And
First time coming here. Kids had plenty of fun. If you got quarters you don't need to bring them. They use an arcade card, easy to use and refill. Games are a bit pricey. Some games give you points ?tickets? added to your card as well, no need to carry messy tickets or buckets; just use your arcade card. Prizes not much to look forward to, so just come for the bowling. They have unlimited days. I'm sure it'll change from time to time unless your a regular. Just call for an update. Parties can be booked; awe
This place was incredible it's actually better than most places I been there is a place that serves drinks and places games and food I forgot the name but this place was way better I think it was Dave and busters , yeah this place is superior to the Modesto version by alot .
I've been here before the remodel but now it looks great. The place is well remodeled. The arcade side is fun and the bowling alley is nice. The couches are very comfortable. The ladies at the bar are friendly.
Nice place for a birthday party for adults and kids. The staff was always there when you turned around. Spring rolls, and the wings were awesome! They sure kept it coming! Definitely a place I would recommend.
Posting for a friend: Daniel, with his long black hair, captivating piercings, and intriguing tattoos, was an absolute dreamboat of a bartender! Not only was he incredibly polite and attentive, but he also seemed to know exactly what I wanted before I even ordered it. (Maybe he's psychic? ??) Give this man a raise and a lifetime supply of tips! I'll definitely be back, not just for the drinks, but for the charming company.
On February 22nd we had a 10th Birthday party booked. Which was booked a month before. We had about 30 guests attend. The host brought the food out about 45 minutes after arriving. We waited over an hour and a half for some to bring out our pitchers of drinks. I asked several times I keep getting told we have no pitchers. I see other parties getting pitchers of soda by this point my blood is boiling I have 30 people waiting for something to drink. Mind you I paid for Unlimited drinks when I bought the packa
The kids had a blast bowling and playing in the arcade. It was a little pricey, costing me around $300 for lunch, 4 bowling (2 of which were kids2 and 4) and an arcade card with no idea of how much each game would eat off the card.
Got a deal on Groupon $12 get one $25 Arcade game (50 credits). We bought 4 total, limit 2 per person. We were there for about an hour. Games range from 2 credits to 4 credits. When reloading the card, $5: 10 credits, $10: 20 credits, $20: 40 credits, $50: 100 credits +30 bonus, $100: 200 credits +80 bonus. They had a variety of different games. Mario kart racing, ticket claw machine, bean toss, skeeball, hoops, tomb raider, the walking dead, zombie snatcher, etc...there was also bowling lanes. They charge
The concession place was great. Koana is an incredible hostess. What an asset she is! So pleasant, courteous, and accommodating. Love her!!!
I would have given a 5, but some of the games were broken, and we got in right behind a bday party, so our pizza took forever. Otherwise, we had a blast. 4.5 rating
This is my first time and I love to to much fun I recommend to use Groupon to buy your tickets is cheaper 2 hours for 4 guests + shoes including for $60
We had an excellent experience with Bowlero utilizing their party service for my son. The Host for our party was great and she was running back an forth with orders and checking up on us. I would definitely recommend them!
The place it not bad. the only issue was each time the pins got knocked down, the machine did not stack them up after advising the staff of the problem it took a good 10 minutes to resolve. We ended up moving to another lane and got a free game out of it as a jester of goodwill, which was nice of the staff. I would say it's a good place to have a bit of fun with friends and family but it can be very busy so it's best to book in advance.
I went here as a kid in the early 2000's and it was awesome. But now...omg it's so dope! They have a FULL BAR...yes, full bar! The food was great too! Staff was super helpful when we had issues and the resolved them quickly!
Great place. Bowling lanes are nice. Arcade is also nice. Food and drinks are good. Overall nice place to spend with freinds and family. Highly recommend this spot
This place is awesome. They have a great space, great atmosphere, and amazing game arcade. Went here for the first time and had a blast. I didn't get the food but the food looked pretty good too. The one thing I would say is that it was kinda pricey on a regular game night. 3 games for 2 people was around 45 dollars. Not sure how that compares to everywhere else. I will definitely be coming back though!
Was in town for a funeral had a couple drinks at the bar around closing, bartender Daniel was hustling, enjoyed the small talk with him. Would recommend.
great service! it does get super busy on weekends so make sure you book your place.
Great service went there for my daughters birthday the best service is from Christine and Spencer they we're so nice and made our experience amazing so happy they were so helpful and nice and just great workers there in Manteca Bowlero on Yosemite ave ????????????.
My daughter and I came in on a busy day and they were able to squeeze us in and get us a lane. Zeke I believe his name was helped us at the front and was doing a lot of other tasks at the same time. Kuddos to holding your composure in high demand. The manager Alex came by and checked on us. We were here a few months back and had a horrible experience. I honestly didn't think I would be back. Almost all games weren't working and the place was filthy last time..You can deff tell this place is under new manage
Since the remodel wow what a world of difference! It looks amazing, not old and run down. Its actually a place you want to visit now with good prices for games, and new food and drinks! Can't wait to go back.
Bowlero is a huge step up from what Strike Zone used to be. Arcade area has good games and bowling area looks pretty cool with the lighting that they have. Great place to have fun with the family and friends but be prepared to wait longer than an hour for a lane as it does get busy. The reason for the 3 stars has to do with the food area. During the first 30 minutes of bowling I decided to order fries for my son and 45 minutes later we had still not received our fries. My husband had to go and ask and they
Its not a five because the bathrooms were a mess (i am not exaggerating used pads on the baby changing station, mini tequila bottles hidden inside the toilet paper dispenser).. and the food is a little over priced.. but over all good experience to bowl and only bowl..
I usually don't write reviews but this place is worthy of a 1 star. We get there around 7pm, the person working the counter asked how many, she then proceeded to tell me there was 10 families on the waiting list to bowl. I asked for an estimated wait time, she said i don't know. I put my number down, i look over at the lanes and there's tons of lanes open! So i drove my family over to Pacific Bowl in Stockton and we had a blast. Will never go back and don't recommend it.
1st time here, it was cool. The food ain't sooooo hot tho, ONLY thing I didn't like.......my kiddo loves the arcade ??
We celebrated our daughter?s 11th birthday with a party package. I was nervous it would go wrong but Janessa, Alex and the chef manager Victor were absolutely wonderful. They were so attentive, caring and professional. I was so moved and impressed with their management and involvement. Food was delicious, we had a spread of hot dogs, pizzas, soda pitchers and fries and we all had the best night!! I'll definitely be returning to enjoy another evening or event. I gee us in Manteca and I'm pleased to see this
Great service! Fun Night for my son's birthday with my family, drinks were good they accommodated us with three lanes everything was great!
Recently remodeled bowling alley that offers an arcade, batting cage, dining, alcohol, and pool tables. The atmosphere is nice and the place gets cleaned frequently because they get pretty busy so everyone is busting it. The food options are pricey but the appetizers don't disappoint. I recommend the alley sampler to start. Add a pitcher of their tap to share and its a great date night! For those of you who aren't savvy to bowling, the bumpers are programmable for your turn by the controls in your section.
The best time for family and friends. Birthday parties for all ages are awesome as well. There isn't a single person that would be disappointed with Bolero, and the staff is awesome responsive and friendly.
Fun place as venue for birthdays, events or just for fun, with friends & family. Clean areas, clean restrooms and good service by Zeke. Will come back again for sure.
Good prices and clean place. Kids and I had a fun time. Staff was helpful and quick to assist.
Went on a Tuesday night and had a great time! Good food and vegetarian options too!!!
This place was pretty cool. A bowling alley that has a bar that is open and attached outside in front rather than the traditional inside the bar in the back. It has a contemporary feel with a very cool vibe!
Nice place good service but extremely expensive. Almost $600 for 2 games food and drinks for 3 children and 3 adults
Had a great experience. Staff is always a Vibe.
Food wasn't great at all. The maranera sauce was disgusting. It tasted really weird, and the pizza was okay its like cafeteria pizza you would get from elementary school. I must say though the customer service was amazing. Kind and sincere. I would not buy food from here again it was quite expensive as well..
It is a great place for a family night out. Yes there is food there but you can can get food nearby.
The so this is really poor we been there couple time but not good pool table no good stick don't recommend to go there if you want have a good time don't choose this arcade
Nice place for blowing even their price so reasonable and bbq chicken wing so delicious ??
I was a little annoyed that no one knew about the mom group that was meeting there so I had to find it on my own. I haven't been there in 20 years and I liked how nice it was. The pizza was good. The kids loved it. We ordered the appetizer plate and it was good except for the bread sticks. They were too doughy. And we had two lanes and at the second game we played the computer screen freezed up a few times on both lanes screens. It was a little annoying. The arcade had great games. Overall it was a fun expe
My grandson lost 8 credits on 2 machines that didn't work
Got a big game room the place was clean and the environment was friendly great place to bowl
I'm just happy there's something fun to do in Manteca!
We had a really good time. Very family friendly but also very adult friendly...which is what we were! Drinks and service were excellent. I didn't expect much from the food but it was the biggest surprise, very fresh and very tasty. Take your friends or your kids...
The staff was awesome, good food. Wonderful bowling experience!
This place is a blast!!! Love the arcades and bowling, of course. Great place to hang out!
Rosa the counter person was amazing as usual!! She was working solo n doing a superb job! Soo helpful, polite and courteous. She always is whenever I encounter her n my kids n grandson like her professionalism
We enjoyed bowling, but the pins kept falling before we even threw the bowling balls. We asked for a different lane because it was only half full, but they were able to help. But we had fun regardless.
I had a blast for my birthday. Rosa was super helpful. She was able to answer any questions my family had. Thank you for a great experience.
Everything was great, except our ?waitress? Deanna. Had 0 personality, she didn't acknowledge us once, we actually had to go get someone else.
Great bowling alley lanes are really nice good place to have a fun with a good group of people. I felt. Some type of way about how they push me to the side and Help people that were behind me in line like I wasn't there. I can't say they were racist but I can tell you they didn't help the people that were first in line. They helped who they wanted to and then they took care of what was left me.
Great first experience for my 4 year old daughter! The employees were very helpful setting up the bumpers and helping out with the setup in general. Their employees checked up continuously to make sure my family and I were doing good! Food order was placed and served very quick with a great selection of choices. The arcade also had a very good amount of games. While playing I was able to meet the new manager Alex, he was very personable and had great customer service skills getting my shy four year old t
Bowlero offers a safe family entertaining environment for everyone.
Best bowling alley we've been to!!!! Super big, clean and plenty of lines available
A great place to bowl
Awesome bowling alley with arcade, pool tables and tons of lanes.
It was great time there. Really relaxed and the workers are very helpful. You don't even have to ask they will come fix the problem right away. Drinks were a good price. The staff is very nice!!!
Happy 37th Mrs. Erm!! I will say, when the wife found out "I won this Lincoln" she was ... she was... let's just say unhappy that I spent "$3500 on raffle tickets!! " ... no I didn't win this Lincoln, but now it's someone else's turn for storey time!!! Also, I didn't break 100 bowling living the best life!
Slow and customer service is sad. It also would be nice if they posted on there web site anything that has to do with bowling leagues and their days of playing and times. Maybe it was just a one time bad experience.
I've been bowling here for a while and each time I go here everyone is always so friendly and helpful. I normally get Rosa up in the front when it comes to checking in to get a lane and she's always been nice and helpful with anything that I need. This place has became my favorite bowling shop.
Deanna was awesome. Food and drinks were great. We had a great time bowling. Thanks!
Awesome family fun. Great vibes good food!
First time here and I loved it. Awesome setup, amazing place. Games, bowling, pool and more and the food. Will be going to Bowlero every time I take the family bowling.
Wonderful night out at Bowlero. Staff was extra friendly and helpful. The arcade was surprisingly large and clean. I'm definitely making this a weekly destination for our family. The food was just perfect and came out so fast. I was even checked on regularly by staff and management and really felt important. All around spectacular experience, thank you!
Had a great time with the family. Nice and clean with a decent menu selection and quality food. We were quite surprised and will definitely be back. We went kind of early to enjoy the bay space. Only wish they paid more attention to keep people spread out when there are open stations.
Is a great place for a date or hangout with your friends.
If you come on a weekend it is fine. But don't ever come on a week day. The past 2 times we have come on Thursdays and there is only one girl working. She does reception and bar and runs food. So you have to wait for a very very long time for things and a lot of the times you don't ever get what you need.
We got there 5pm on Sunday night and only got one lane as they said they cant give us 2 as they were "reserved." We get to our lane and the table was not cleaned until 30 minutes later. We ordered food( 2 appetizers )and did not get our food 1 hour later. All while the second lane was still empty and not being used and still refuses to give us a lane. We spent 2.5 hours there, while the other lane stayed emptied, and they wouldn't give us the lane.
Such a fun experience! The place looks amazing and love the way it looks now. Rosa helped me get pricing and also showed us around. She was very helpful and very sweet and had patience with us. Definitely coming again and this time with the whole family!
Bowlero is always an awesome place to bowl. They have a awesome atmosphere and the prices are really good. My kids have a blast every time we go.
My 10 yr old son hit his first strike without bumpers here. The bowling gods insisted that was worthy of a 5 star review
Good atmosphere and a pretty cool arcade. Food and drinks are decent. Customer service sucks, and the fact that they leave all of the rental balls on the lanes is annoying. Don't do a good job of bussing tables or lanes. Bowling ediquit among people who go there is pretty bad.
First time at bowlero Manteca we had a blast me and my family
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.
Arcade prize games are a thrilling highlight in 2025! Claw machines, skee-ball, and ticket-redemption games like basketball offer a rush of skill and chance, with rewards like plushies, toys, or electronics up for grabs. Modern machines feature vibrant lights, digital scoreboards, and responsive controls, amplifying the fun. The lively arcade atmosphere, with cheering crowds and buzzing energy, makes every win feel epic.
