Buffaloe Lanes Erwin Family Bowling Center

As always Pelicans is a favorite treat when the grands are in town. We also played miniature golf. Great times and memories.

Exceptional spot for a good time! We had a great experience bowling and playing in the arcade! We loved how state of the art everything was! The bowling lanes let you take pictures of each person and then the computers make little avatar funny memes with the pictures. It's cute and brought big laughs to our group! Very clean environment! Great customer service!

It was Gr8! We had a girls' night out and decided to go bowling. 1st time at Buffaloe lanes, and I was impressed. Everyone was friendly, everything looked clean, and a big spacious family friendly environment .

We decided to take the kids and have a little family fun, and picked this location in hopes it might not be quite as busy. We drove almost an hour to get here and after today?s experience we will always make the drive to come back! Leanna was a saint and made our day wonderful. We had a problem with our lane resetting and she wasted no time getting us set up on the lane directly next to us until it could be fixed. No delay in our game which was great. Our daughter is only 3 and was quickly approaching her l

Super fun and super cute, I'm really pleased with our experience at this mini golf. It was sufficiently difficult enough for our kids but ready enough that nobody got frustrated. The area was pretty well cared for (there were a couple pieces of garbage that patrons carelessly left behind) and was easy to navigate. The whole area is pretty cute and I am a fan of putt-putt golfing. Some of the holes were clever, like the bridge going over the river. If you miss getting it over the bridge, the river brings t

We love this place! Great arcade for our boys and very friendly staff. We go once a week. Definitely recommend.

Staff is extremely helpful and kind. They have soda, popcorn and nachos on site but allow food delivery, so we had pizza delivered. Facility is always clean, arcade on site for any that want that extra. We have 3 we could drive to, 35 minutes drive in other directions. This one never has issues, Lanes always available!

This place has it all. Arcade. Snacks. Bowling. Miniature golf n a icee place that will flip your wig. Been coming here for awhile the owner is as cool as a fan in the window in the winter time. I highly advise bringing your family here.

Great alley. Cool arcade for kids and huge screens over the lanes that shows sports games and interactive scenes when bowling.

Great bowling alley MOST OF THE TIME. If you go on weekends be prepared for rowdy kids with inattentive parents. Other than that the week days are pretty smooth.

Pictures were taken back at March. Perfect place for families and friends to play bowling ?? It's active, has good food quality, has an arcaded inside to play in, and a golf course to play at!

What a great place for the entire family of varying ages! This place is so clean and everything is so crisp and colorful! ?? We came here because of a recommendation of my husband's coworker... And this just surprised us so much!! There is a gigantic arcade on both sides of the building. Lots of games. The bowling area is very clean and bright! There are digital screens in front that have really colorful pretty scenery designs! If I had had places like this table before I might have been drawn back more

Fantastic Family Bowling Center, Lanes and Staff. Open Floor Arcade, Well Kept Restrooms, Pro Shop on premises. If I could UHaul this place back to Fayetteville, I would??

So nice inside. Lots of games and ways to win tickets. Love the digital screen above the bowling lanes. So cool!!

We are here 3 days a week for youth leagues and adult league. The staff is excellent, friendly and knowledgeable

Decided to go out for family night bowling. My family and I had purchased shoe rentals & two rounds of bowling. We were wrapping up our first game when staff approached us. Apparently a Karen had complained that we ?were sitting at the wrong table?. Karen complained that sitting at the table less than 2 feet from the one we had occupied for over an hour was inconvenient. I've never felt so discriminated against before in my life. I hate that my small children had to witness privilege at such a young age. My

A lot of fun for kids and adults alike! Very clean and high tech facility with great bowling and arcade

What a great place to share fun with the family! Thank you for providing such a place for the community to gather and enjoy some quality time together. The staff is amazing!

Just found this place out the blue and it'll be my go to now bowling and games in one spot and they have stuff for little kids I baby really enjoyed his self 10 outta 10

Never any lanes open. No information about what nights they have league on either their website or social media platforms.

Absolutely wonderful place to take your kids. The staff was great and we had a wonderful time

We always have a great time. The place is clean, efficiently run, never too crowded, inexpensive, and VERY family friendly. You don't have to worry about intoxicated people cursing and acting inappropriately around your children.

Our homeschool group loves to meet up here and hang out. Staff is very helpful and the new screens are very cool. Kept my 5 yo engaged with the game for once

My kids, especially my son, absolutely adore this place

One night a week Saturday night at buffaloe Lanes in Erwin after 9:30 arcade games would be half price then they switched it to 10:30 then they switched it to 11:30 recently now they took it away all together knowing that most kids would not be out that late to play the arcade games should have never offered it in the first place very Petty the way you make the time later and later and then took it away . We got plenty of other stuff to do. I guess that $30 worth of **** we won was just too much.

Great time had by all at my daughter's birthday party here.

From the first day I visited, the staff were friendly and accommodating. I enjoy the laid back feel, the kindness & helpfulness to answer any questions and with any new promotional stuff. The Erwin buffaloe lanes is my favorite right ahead of Buffaloe South. ????

So I had a lane and was setting up. Turned around to talk to my dad and a family was sitting at my table Man had my credit card in his hand because it was sitting on the table at the lane of mine I'm wanting to think positive about it that he was getting ready to take it up front So it could be returned to the proper owner because he was clueless that I was shut off of my lane. but this is a situation that shouldn't have happened. Oh and they're fix to it was not the guy that walked in the door going to ano

Great family fun! My grandson had the time of his life.

Great places for the family. We had a blast. It was even pretty affordable.

Very busy on a Sat night! We waited about 45min for a lane, and played a game of putt-putt while we waited. A fun course. Everything runs smoothly with the staff. They know what they're doing and are pleasant. The woman who helped with my kids' arcade tickets was very patient and seemed to actually enjoy her job. We will definitely be back.

I have been here before and always had a relatively good time, however after tonight I will most likely not be returning. This location has a policy requiring any persons under the age of 16 to be accompanied by a parent or guardian on Friday or Saturday nights, which I completely understand, as they don't want a bunch of rambunctious kids tearing up the place. What I absolutely do not understand, however, is why I was denied entry this evening. I am a 22 year old man, and wanted to take my 2 younger sister

I had a company party here and really enjoyed my time. The lanes are really well maintained and overall the place just looks clean. There is a decent number of arcade games. The pro shop opens at 4pm a few of the days, and I thunk Sunday is by appointment only. I definitely plan on returning frequently once I move closer.

Buffaloe Erwin is a very nice place to bowl. The building itself sits in a parking lot on its own. Very clean and inviting. When you enter from either side of the entrance there are awesome ramps for bowlers with lots of rolling equipment. It's the best entryway I've ever seen in a bowling alley! The bathrooms are clean and comfortable. The entire facility is that as well. The lanes seem to be in really good working order. Great place for parties as well.

Fantastic! We had our 7 year olds party here and it was so great! Super accommodating and easy to work with! They were so helpful getting shoes, drinks, extra lanes anything we needed! The kids had a blast and the bowling was great! Nice and clean bowling alley and the party rooms were perfect.

We, "Papa & 10-year-old granddaughter, spent all of our time in the arcade. Great bonding time in a comfortable and safe environment. Great behind-the-counter attendees - very courteous & patient with kids. The only drawback, as I see it, is the apparent lack of cleaning for the frequently touchable surfaces of the arcade games themselves. We felt a real urgency in our need to wash and disinfect our hands before we could order shaved ice cones at the establishment next door. Requires renewed attention

WONDERFUL FAMILY FUN!!!! I actually had the experience to watch family interact with each other instead of faces glued to phone screens!!! We were there for well over 4 hrs and never seen but one phone looked at for a split second and right back to the family fun time!!! Staff very helpful and kind the place was clean and well looked after....I personally thoroughly enjoyed my time spent there and the prices are very affordable we had 6 in our group and spent roughly 5 hrs and spent about 85 bucks and had a

I wanted to celebrate my son's birthday, I found the best place, you can take your food, cake except drinks.

I love how friendly and fun it is for a family that can enjoy going bowling or playing arcade games and get some prices and having fun ??. The employees are super friendly and nice. Can't wait to go back and play some more games.

Staff was great! My autistic adult son loves to go weekly, and they are nice and patient. The only downside is they don't really do food just snacks. There are restaurants and fast food nearby though.

The employees were kind & helpful. The place is also very clean. We had a great time.

I was super impressed with this venue! It's big and bright with bowling and a game area. There are private rooms for celebrations or parties as well. The gentleman at the counter was pleasant and helpful (he explained my big red F on the bowling scoreboard with a smile and noted concern for my safety). I would go back in a heartbeat to bowl or play games or have a family event. Loved this place!

We had my son?s birthday party here and it was fantastic! So clean and well-maintained. The staff was great and accommodating. We will be back!

We had my niece's 10th birthday party here. It was a fun time for everyone. The birthday party package is just $113 and includes bowling, party room, cake, decorations, etc. I highly recommend Buffalo Lanes in Erwin for your next get together.

I had so much fun here, and so did my nephews. They offer a pretty good sized arcade. The staff member who helped me sort out my issues with refilling my card was so helpful and kind. I would love to go back.

Took two teenage boys just to enjoy the arcade. They had hours of fun and we only spent $30 each. They even let the adults get in on some air hockey games. It was a of fun.

My son and I made a spontaneously trip their boasting about those years ago, once upon a time skills. It is obvious, if you don't do it, you lose it. I blamed mine on age, 60s versus 30s. No one made a 100, The place was clean , neat, no odor in the air. There was not many people there, some with masks, others not. We wore masks, going to blame the very intended low score on the mas k (???)(???). I am planning to go again, if just to get out the house , Great place, Great attitudes, Great time.

Wonderful place, decent pricing, good staff. Some games in arcade have problems taking your money, and freezing up, but all in all staff helps take care of it. Great family fun.??

Had tons of fun and have been going here for years. They even have one of those little ramps for kids who can't properly throw a ball yet. Plus you can put up guard rails to keep your balls out of the gutter. Decent pricing for games and bowling shoes. Card accepted plus they have an arcade; tho the prizes are cheap.

I loved it, but they don't give a good description on the pricing. They said $4 per game and $3.50 per pair of shoes. But we didn't know that they were charging $4 per person per game. Other than that I had fun!!!

Love the business they are very friendly and it's safe for kids and the foods really good and the bowling alley is very popular for midnight bowling ?? activities for kids are very good also I know the owners very well they are very good people

This is my favorite bowling location! It's clean, friendly staff, easy to get in and out. It also has a put put place and snow cones next door which is a fun perk! We love bowling here and Playing arcade. They also accommodate groups well!

I'm not very good at bowling but when I get the urge, I come here. It's a little pricey, but you get access to snowcones, an arcade, food, and a mini golf course as well. I'd recommend it if you are professional or just looking to have a fun day.

In almost thirty years I've lost count of how many parties my family has had here. The staff is always friendly and helpful and the facility is always clean with everything working. We love Buffalo Lanes!!!

Had a great time but my grandson was disappointed the lava lamp he chose with his tickets be brought home hooked up and the lava that was connected by a spring in the bottom came apart the next day.also glass was very very hot.had to throw it away.but they had lots of fun.would like to see more pin ball machines

Hey folks if you have not been here then where u at? Always a great time here. Plenty of space between lanes and updated interfaces. Clean and very very family oriented.. I will always brag about this place

UPDATED: I recently took my kids to the arcade again and it was not busy at all. Once again alot of the machines were down but at least they were labeled this time. Several we're out of tickets and I think there were more down the last time. I hoped the last review would help but obviously not. For the love of God fix your broken machines!!!!! I live in Erwin and we periodically go by here to play in the arcade. Most times we go there are an unreasonable amount of games down. Tonight we go by and many of t

Took our boys bowling for the first time and they loved it! The service was beyond great as they really catered to the kids and even gave us their shoe rentals for free. We will definitely be going back!

My grandson and I had a great time here. Customer service is great. So much more than just bowling to do. We will definitely return.

The staff are very friendly and helpful. Mr. Colvin is such a nice gentleman. The bowling alley is clean, and the arcade is full of fun games.

Family owned and operated, nice game room, entire establishment is pristine, even the restrooms! Definitely a great spot for kids of all ages! Not your typical bowling alley with the loud music and alcohol, this is a place to bring your family for good wholesome fun!

Always fun bowling here. Clean, family atmosphere. They gave me a card that they punch a hole in. After about then times you get a free game. The best bowling in Erwin NC.

Well...I am currently standing at the arcade counter, as I have been for 20 minutes. I brought my daughter here to have a little alone time. So we figured we would start with the arcade then do a couple games of bowling. Well, the good old wheel of fortune game, which not to brag, I have exceptionally great hand-eye coordination. I can put 4 tokens in and hit the spin at least once... Well I hit the 500 and she basically called me a liar... Well... So much for that bowling game. I refuse. Would rather d

Another great Buffalo Lanes establishment! I have yet to be disappointed with a Buffalo alley. If you're visiting from out of town or just don't bowl much, go to ANY Buffalo Lanes over the competitor. It's a "no name" brand that maintains better than any other company(big or small) that I've been to all over the nation. Went there for a 4 game sweeper tournament, a federation practice, federation tour stop and multiple practice sessions and was impressed with the 24 lane alley. I heard mixed things about th

Pretty great place, but the service could be a little better. They weren't exactly rude, but I honestly think they can pay a little more attention to their customer's needs. Overall nice place to hang out.

Very clean and friendly service. Fun for the whole family. We'll come back another time to try the arcade area. Delicious cookies!

I had to change my rating from 5 stars to 2. I understand that they have new rules for covid, but I waited a hour and a half for our lanes and when they call us for our lanes they said they only had one available. The old lady was rude and impatient. They only had 2 people working the entire bowling alley. I usually spend about a hundred in the arcade. After she refused our lanes I refused to spend another dime there. I will not ever return to this bowling alley. I'll just go to Raleigh next time instea

"Great Ices & Mini Golf"...??

They have cold AC. They have a kids bowl free summer program. Do I need to say anything more?

They need to make more awareness of tournament...though lanes were available and no one showed up for. Not sure when tournaments are on Sundays, whenever we went?? Machines in arcades took coins, no tickets printed either... Associate always seemingly business!! Doing nothing!! 3 stars are for great arcade, and Pelican being next door.

It's fun and not too many people there during the day. They don't play music which makes it a little dry and quiet from time to time. I suggest playing music that everyone would enjoy to liven up the place.

Great Place to get together with family and friends. Cool place to hang out on hot summer days. The arcade machines stay in working order and the facility is clean and well maintained. Reasonable prices.

Buffaloe lanes is a great bowling alley, and we love it here. One comment, although not a criticism, some of the free to use balls are scratched, so if you don't bring your own just look to see if yours has any gashes.

Great place for everyone, my kids love it.

Went bowling with my son had fun not much food if any offered there games were fun the ones that worked not all worked

We love kids bowl free. The seating is a little tricky here but overall it is a clean, family friendly place.

A nice family bowling alley. No alcohol or rowdy characters. Decent size video game area and also does birthday parties and celebrations. Lacking in snack bar offerings - drinks, some snacks only although you can bring in food while you bowl.

Kids in lane beside us were throwing multiple balls at one time down their lane and interfering with our lane. No bowling etiquette by letting lane to lane take turns. We had fun but they really annoyed us and put a damper on our night. Also, prepaid for a lane 40.00 and got there late after being told we had a lane from 10pm to 1 am not once but twice. We showed up at 1130pm and they said they closed at 12pm we only had 30 mins to play got one game. 3 of us played and we paid 40 dollars for this....not rig

Such a fun place and great for family time. Always clean and friendly staff. The bowling is a blast and a large arcade with all the great games. Have always enjoyed the experience every time we have gone. Definitely recommend Buffaloe Lanes in Erwin.

If I could rate a zero I would. Booked my son a party paid $20 down on $109 over the phone for the strike package which included a host and a special prize for my son. Got there and the worker asked me we're we bowling or not. I CLEARLY told her I wasn't for sure yet. Well needless to say I guess because we didn't bowl it took the host and the special prize for my son away but when I checked out still paid $109. The manager stated over the phone well Ma'am I don't know what you want me to do because you go

Great place to go for family fun, Birthday Party, or any kind of celebrations! The staff has always been friendly and more than willing to work with you to keep you happy!

Excellent for the family. Arcade could end up costly but they get prizes for points earned. Wish they had one on western side of the county.

This family owned business is fair priced clean and well run. Birthday parties are a hit for the kids and on the flip side their leauges and events for the more polished bowler are top notch.

The staff was great! Everyone was very friendly.

Nice, clean bowling alley. During the day only $4.50 a game. Cheap fun way to kill a couple hours.

Love going bowling there & then playing games afterwards.

My son had his birthday here and everyone had a wonderful time! Staff was friendly and helpful! Highly recommend!

BEWARE We had booked three lanes for a birthday for 20+ people. it was confirmed a few days prior. When we arrived we were told they didn't have a reservation and that they were having a big group coming in 1 1/2 hrs, but we could have a few lanes until then. In spite of the rudeness of the manager we still had a good time. Wish management could have took ownership of the mistake
