This is a very nice bowling alley. The employees are friendly. The food is pretty good. And the atmosphere is what you would expect. I especially liked their choice in music playlists.
Was a great experience. Staff was greatly accommodating even though the were completely packed with ppl. Also, the pizza is absolutely delicious... Definitely a great place to go have fun with the family..
Always a fun time. Food is always wonderful. Staff always friendly and accommodating. Great place for kids birthday party!
Love this place the manager Joe works really hard and keeps the center running smoothly
It was my first time here and we had a great time. Everyone was very friendly and everything was very clean as well. The food was good and hot.
Clean, family friendly, wonderful. Bumper lanes available. My kids have enjoyed afternoon hours here several times...always fun ??
Last year: Cleanest, friendliest bowling alley I've ever been to. Best food, too. Last night: Friendly, the pizza was good. Wow, the arcade is super neglected! They fixed one machine while we were there, but not the other ~6 malfunctioning. Nope, we're not likely to put a bunch of money on a card and tell a kid to go have fun. Too many times, money deducted and no game played. Also, if you really liked the chicken nuggets...well, they don't have them any more.
The staff there are very helpful and polite. I would definitely recommend going at least once.
Go several times a year with my grandchildren when they visit from West Virginia!! ??
CJ is the best and the new young lady that takes food orders keeps the place moving. My clients love to come and bowl. My clients are special needs and they do not treat them different the ralk with them and make them feel comfortable to come up and make purchases with confidence. They know each of their names and that's what makes this place great. Go have fun tell them Niki and the SSVA gang sent you. Ask for CJ
Great place to hang out with friends, bowl and eat delicious food.
Eastern Shore Lanes is a great spot for a family outing. The bowling alley itself is surprisingly clean compared to others we've been to. The prices for games and shoe rental are reasonable, making it an affordable activity for everyone. The snack bar offers decent food at good prices, which is always a plus. We had a fun time and will definitely return!
First thing first The only things that I have to complain about is that the cooks do not wear gloves using there bare hands cooking and preparing peoples food. The food is good but now that i?ve seen them not wearing gloves I'm not sure if I will be back. And I'm a local but wear gloves folks when your working in a place of business where food is being prepared! And the fry?s fresh-cut ones they don't give you many for the price the little handful they give you is not worth it .
Everyone, CJ, Shyanne, and their chef did a great job! We were welcomed with GREAT customer service! The entire place was very clean, including the game area and restrooms. Thank you so much !
Friendly fun atmosphere for the whole family. Nice clean establishment with plenty of lanes. Nice variety of arcade games and other items. Awesome food . I will recommend this to others. I always have a great experience when I'm there.
Fun!!! Clean and professional service. I haven't bowled in years and had so much FUN!
The owner is an extremely kind man. I've known him for what seems like forever because he was there when I'd go as a little girl. His staff is very friendly and helpful. Bowling there is a frequent activity for all of us. The pizza is very good, too!!
This is were I bowl most of the time, worth the extra drive. The staff is Great. Shout out to Noah, James, Cj, and of course the Ladies in the kitchen. They're the best.
Placed an order online (today) for Mother?s Day, successful online order. Google says open until 9. Website accepted order and money. Waited for 30 minutes to drive to bowling alley. Pull up, lo and behold sign on the door saying they are closed. Not closed enough to take my order and my payment but closed enough to mess up Mother?s Day meal. Sweet
I bowl here all the time and I love it great pro shop run by Shawn Elliott he's certified to do everything you need
We were the only people in there besides staff. Music was super obnoxious and there was a general tone of disrespect like hanging out was more important to the people working there than us. We come here a decent amount and usually spend $100+ dollars but we rolled our two games and left. Probably won't be back. It's a shame cause we used to really like this place. Everything from the food to the immature staff has gone downhill. At least it was clean I guess.
Review regarding the pro shop: I just met the Pro Shop Operator, Shaun, at a training event, and now I'm absolutely going to make a trip from Texas in the next year to come see him! Any bowler serious in the sport can and should give Shaun?s work a chance. You can trust he'll get you set up for success! Thanks Shaun for all your help!!
The friendliest and most helpful staff and owner! Every time I've been in the facility it's been very welcoming and clean, but given covid you can still order their delicious food for take out everyday and still every bit as friendly and helpful!. Believe me when I say they have the best cheesesteaks and fries in town!
I love bowling?and this is the place I go to to have fun, a lot of laughs, great food, and an enjoyable clean environment. I had a birthday bowling party there on March 25th? everybody said that they had a good old time with bowling, food, and everything else. I had a good old time myself. It was a lot of laughs. Now people are asking when am I going again to bowling or they're going to be going to bowling because they really like it? I said soon. So to Noah thank you for explaining everything to me when
Friendly staff, great lanes, good snack bar and a fun arcade!
Staff was nice, atmosphere was enjoyable, and the place was clean.
Eastern Shore Lanes is an awesome place to bowl!!!!! All of the staff are very kind and friendly, the food is GREAT!!!!!!! My husband, and my children and grandchildren all go there on Sunday afternoons,after church such a wonderful place to eat dinner and have some fun with family and friends,thank you Eastern Shore Lanes for being a place I can relax and enjoy my family, YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!! and by the way the place is always clean! which is extremely important now days!!
This review is mainly for the Pro Shop. On a whim, my wife and I decided to stop at Eastern Shore Lanes and buy everything so we can start bowling. (we were not bowlers previously). We bought balls, shoes and a bag. This was a great experience for us, mainly because Shaun in the pro shop was very knowledgeable and patient. Shaun took his time to explain things and helped us pick out the right equipment; where he really excelled was in the measurement of our hands/fingers for drilling the hole
The staff is awesome and very friendly.
Brandon in the pro shop knows what he's doing and was extremely helpful when I decided to get fitted for my first ball. The other staff members are equally kind?good people all around and a great facility.
Only 16 lanes, clean and easy to find. Parking has some holes, and the AC needs to be on during a tournament.
Best bowling alley on the Eastern Shore. Tommy and his staff are so nice and welcoming. Prices are reasonable, food is amazing, facility is extremely nice and clean. Small arcade and lockers also available. Highly recommend!
Best bowling alley on the Eastern Shore! The staff is always super friendly. They have great food! Love the quesadillas and fries.There is a small arcade area. Locker area. Bathrooms are clean. Fun family time.
Had a great time. It was awesome they had free bowling for my 2 young men during their school break.
Love it, good people, nice and clean and food goodToo.
New management. Can't bring in cakes for birthday. But food is good. Need to add Duck pins for children.
Wow wow wow what a wonderful experience! I mean by golly every time I bowl here feels like I died and went to heaven! Whenever I throw the ball in the lane next to me, the owners are very understanding and always willing to help me.
I love this place ! I encourage everyone with kids to sign up for the kids bowl free program . Me and my kids go multiple times a week and dont pay anything except the shoe rental! Also you can sign up for a one time cost and have 4 adults added and you can all bowl 2 games every day all summer long
Clean, modern, and well maintained with 14 Lanes, pro shop, and a snack bar. You can get pizza, hamburgers, and other goodies to go with your ice cold beer. Staff is real friendly and prices are reasonable.
Love it here great people and always helpful, wouldn't want to go anywhere else. And the food is awesome to. The chicken tenders and cheesesteaks are good and so is the pizza.
Tommy and Brandon went above and beyond being friendly, helpful and knowledgeable when I purchased my new bowling ball and had it drilled to fit my hand there. I'll be back for my pro shop needs, and I recommend them highly!
Nice, quiet bowling alley. Friendly staff. Large kitchen menu. Lanes are great, maybe too much oil, but when you find your spot, they're consistent.
They were pleasant and very eager to please you. It's a great place for family fun. Try it for your self.
The food is always delicious.
The staff was very courteous and we had a nice time. Not to busy. Food was good.

First time visiting. Very nice atmosphere and food.
We went there last night at 9:14pm and they told us they are going to clean up and leave but the the business hour are until 10pm. We were so disappointed. Bad customer service..
My daughters enjoyed the game arcade and bowling with the kiddie slide
This is a very nice bowling alley with squeaky clean bathrooms, a wonderful food selection at the grille, fun arcade games, and nice lockers. Best of all, is the genuinely kind staff.

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.”
