Reviews Summary

Overall, reviews are mixed but lean positive. Many praise the fun atmosphere, good food, and excellent service from friendly staff, especially for parties and events. Several highlight the clean, modern facilities and enjoyable arcade. However, negative reviews cite poor management, slow service, incorrect orders, and issues with lane quality or reservations.

Customer Reviews

My experience here was made so much better by my server Krystal. She was so fantastic! Her smile was contagious!!! She took great care of me and my friends!!!!

We had such a great experience here. Even though it was extremely busy, the staff & Bibiana went above & beyond to provide excellent service. The food was surprisingly delicious for a bowling alley, & everything came out hot & fresh. It turned out to be a perfect afternoon for our family. We'll definitely be back.

We hosted our graduation party here and we had a fantastic time, excellent service thank you Damien & crew, and the party room had plenty of space and seating for all our guest.

Had a great time at the launch party today! Food was great and service was amazing! Bibiana was so attentive and so kind. Will definitely be back to book an event with her!

Had a great time at Lucky Strike in Romeoville, IL yesterday! Damian, Bibiana, and rest of staff made sure that we enjoyed our graduation party to the fullest! Service was awesome! We will definitely book more parties at your location. Thanks again for everything!! :)

Cathy is an absolutely amazing bartender. She is always cheerful and greets us kindly. We are regulars so Cathy already has our drinks ready for us.

I recently hosted an event at Bowlero Romeoville, bringing over 200 people to the center, and I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. From start to finish, the team went above and beyond to ensure a seamless experience. A huge thank you to Damien, and Will who made sure our event had everything we needed. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to exceptional service truly stood out. The space itself was beautiful, clean, and incredibly well-organized, creating the perfect

The experience that I had a Bowerlo was unacceptable. I had made a reservation for a bowling lane on March 30th, but due to a bad thunder storm I had to reschedule it. I had already paid in advance. The total was 77.17. I called on 2:44pm to reschedule it. The person who I talked to stated that the place was busy and they will do it later and send a conformation code to my email. I reschedule it on 04/05/2025. I never received the conformation code. On 04/05/2025, I called at 12:02pm to verify if I still ha

I had attended a baby shower here, it was our first time here & it was beautiful! Clean , the staff was amazing. We will most definitely be back this place is a GEM!

Celebrated my nephew's birthday, and the staff was extremely helpful. Kids loved the pizza and fries. Will definitely book again to celebrate a party. We recommend durning the weekday. Wasn't crowded and the kids were able to enjoy the arcade area

As this being the closest bowling alley to my house, pretty upset with the service. I wish we knew how long it would take to bring drinks out to our lane, as we probably would not have ordered any. We ordered the signature sampler because it came with everything we wanted for a cheaper cost. But when we received it, it did not have the pretzel pins we were looking forward for. Loved the lanes themselves and atmosphere but because we added a decent tip and unfortunately waited 30mins for our drinks, our food

We hosted our son?s 8th birthday party at Bowlero today and it was fantastic! Jessica was such a big help with planning the event and answered all of my questions. When we arrived, everything was set up so nicely. I didn't realize there would be decorations set up by the food stations which was such a nice addition. The servers/staff were great and brought out food quickly and were there to get anything else we needed. The food was delicious and there was plenty of it. We had over 30 guests and everyone had

We were there 2 nights in a row. 1st night we decent. We bowled and had a couple drinks. We were going to order food but the waitress never came back after our first drinks. Second night there was a 3 hour wait for bowling, not sure why as there were multiple lanes open. We decided to just get a drink and something to eat. We sat there for about 45 minutes and never got waited on so we left. Nice place but there service needs a lot of work. There were a lot of workers but .lst just standing around.

I will NEVER go back here again. I hosted my daughter?s birthday party here yesterday and had the worst experience. The party started at 5:30 & the waitress didn't come and introduce herself till 6pm.. then all of the food that I preordered to be set up by 5:30 did not come out until 7pm. Mind you we were only supposed to be there until 7:30. & when the food did come out all of it was wrong. The drinks barely got replenished they only did if we asked them to do it. The manager Tony was so rude and had no re

my grandkids and my husband I had a blast! Good food, and fun times! And reasonable prices!

I was not pleased with how easy it it to accidentally add up more than your intended purchase for the play cards. Buying them should be simple, not tricky! I'm certain that I'm not the only one who has had an issue with this. I suggest purchasing at the register instead!

Father's Day was our 1st time here & it was amazing! I love the spaciousness of the venue, the fact that it had arcade games, pool, lazer tag & the food was good (specifically the grande nachos). We'll definitely be returning!

The whole place was open and they decided to shut our lane down for no reason. Lady stated they shut down 10 minutes early and place was still open with all other lanes still open. We spent over 300$ here tonight on food and drinks and this is ridiculous customer service. Supposed gm acted like she didn't care and this was horrible service. Ruined a great birthday party for no reason. As I write this everyone is still open.

I hosted my brother?s 50th birthday party at Lucky Strike Romeoville, and it was such a great experience! We reserved the party room ? it was minimal in design but nicely decorated, just enough to make it feel special without being over the top. My family bowled across 5 lanes and had an amazing time. We order cheese pizza and wings, the food was pretty good, my family ordered mules and some off the speciality drinks on the menu. Everyone found something they liked. What really made the difference was our

Bethany was phenomenal! We bowled several games and she was very attentive if we needed more drinks or wanted to order food! Hopefully we have Bethany again in the future!

Love this place most importantly because of the Kind and Honest staff, Crystal who was very courteous, respectful and Honest. My wife?s bag was left in the bench and she kept it intact. Love the bowling experience as well! Great food too

We came to the launch party and Krystal was so friendly! She made our bowling experience even better

We went there with all my family together. We had 2 separate bowling lanes, one for the kids and one for adults. Had so much fun, i think it's a bit expensive, but I still can't complain. We ordered appetizers and had a few different alcoholic beverages, which all were good.

The employee that helped us twice today was exceptional. She was so kind to my 6 year old. ?? The games were not so great. You get 2 credits per dollar and most games are 6+ credits. It's outrageously expensive for what it is. Several games weren't working either. Glad we used a groupon. It's a good deal if you go on Wednesday with a Groupon.

My first time to come here since this place was transformed and renamed from Brunswick to it's current name. They've done so many impressive updates and there's a lot more people now. Festive d?cor. We waited 30 minutes for a lane, which went by fast as we kept busy at the arcade. The place is clean and well maintained. The place was understaffed. We got our lane but the tables still had glasses and plates from the previous occupants. They should clean or clear it before they give the area to the next cust

We had such a fabulous time at Lucky Strike in Romeoville !! Staff was nice, and Krystal Kleivo was absolutely the Hostess with the MOSTESS!!! She made our experience so much fun! We will definitely be back...especially if she is there!!! 5 STARS!!

This was absolutely the worst experience Ive ever had. Came here for my best friends birthday party and despite calling before getting there and being told there was tons of lanes open and it isn't busy, by the time we got there, there managed to be a full ?hour? wait to get any lanes at all. Which is funny because we counted 14 lanes that they just weren't using. The island bar was closed entirely ON A SATURDAY. And let's to get to the WORST part. Our group ordered two beer pitchers and BOTH were missing a

Place is nice and clean. Our party of 7 was not able to get a bowling lane on a Saturday evening, the wait was over 3 hours! We had settled on playing laser tag and arcade games. Recommend booking your lanes online!!

A great place for kids and adults. My wife and I took our grand children there and had a great time. Be prepared to spend a bit of money.

Not good for even hobbyist bowlers. Giant TVs over the lanes make it hard to see the lanes. The pins were attached to strings on the lane we were given, which made everything feel really messed up. When we politely requested to switch to a regular bowling lane (of which there were several not in use), the manager was kind of rude, and seemed like he was probably sick of hearing that request. Another staff member confirmed that they have been getting a lot of complaints about the new lanes. Stay away if you

Great experience for my daughter's birthday! Great customer service. Very helpful! Lanaya and Joey were the best birthday host ever! They made it a very fun time. I will definitely book another party again!

My family and I were at the bowling lane yesterday we had a BALL when I said Ball I mean we had a Great time people sad bad thing about Bowlero but me myself things that it were upscale. We play pool and slots before we bowl believe we will be coming back. I cant do much but just to see my kids and Grandkids having that much fun was all I needed it. I also would like to Thank Tony the manager for playing a great role in our lovely evening. And his staff. THANK again from the Hampton family,

I had my birthday drunk bowling gathering with coworkers and the atmosphere and hospitality was impeccable. The only issue I had was teenagers after 10pm, but who am I to tell someone how to run their business.??...All things considered, I had an amazing time.

Order pizza wings fries drinks and the waiter and bartender said we don't usually serve pitchers of water ! ??wtf we in here with a tab , playing pool and ordering food and can't get a picker of water is crazy in Romeoville

Went for the unlimited bowling on Sundays. Told the guy (who clearly didn't care to be working and kept messing things up) that we were there for that. Ended up getting charged $90 when I checked my bank account the next morning.

This place used to be really good. Went there today and half the lanes were down so the wait was 2.5 hours lol. So I decided to take the kids to the arcade instead. Biggest waste of money and time ever. Many of the machines were out of service or did not work. Get it together Bowlero! 0 stars!

Came here for a birthday party and it was such a blast! You can bring balloons and decorations as well as a cake with was super convenient. Easy to order food and the food was also really good! Chicken tenders are prime ???? Kathi is the best bartender ever! Great service from her and everyone that came to check on us during the party. Will definitely be coming back here for family bowling nights and booking parties. Thank you for a great time Bowlero!

My family had a blast here. So much fun!! Haven't went bowling Ina while and I came in second place. Food is really good. Buffalo cauliflower was some of the best I ever had.

Let me first start by saying that the servers where an absolute delight. Very respectful and polite. The food itself was mediocre at best, and almost an hour for a wrap? The arcade attendants where ignorant, childish and rude. Interaction with arcade attendants: "Has anyone brought to your attention that the large claw machine isn't working?" Him "It's working, i can see it from here" Me "No, the credits are stacking but never activating it" goes and looks at it "oh yea" resets machine. Me "Could my daughte

Great family fun time and gathering time!! Bowling ?? and having fun is a fantastic combination ?? ?? ?? Food was average and cocktail drinks were okay,a little weak and small for the prices !!

I have to say, Jas, Elise and Trey exemplified the meaning of exceptional service. Please recognize their efforts, team work and overall commitment to the brand and the experience. Jas went above and beyond the call of duty, she was just awesome! Elise is the perfect right hand to Jas and did an outstanding job handling much of the food and the small accommodation request we had for a vegan child in our party. Lastly Trey made every effort to make sure the girls were treated great and had patience, compassi

The guy got me and my friends in swiftly fast. Great service. Definitely check it out

We had excellent service for my daughter's 7th birthday today from Jessica, she is a true rockstar. The food was served hot and delicious.Everyone there is really nice and answers all of your questions. Also, it's very clean on the inside.

Came here on a Sunday with a couple of friends and wives for Friendsgiving. Great food (ordered appetizer platter and all the flavors of wings, delicious). Enjoyed the arcade. Then came today (Thanksgiving) with my daughter and liked it even more. Had some great bowling, delicious nachos and pizza, and the staff was very nice. My kid wants to come back and we definitely will

Wonderful spot to bowl on a good and friendly staff can't ask for more?? and Kathy is very respectful lady shout to her and her service ??

Had the greatest time at Lucky Strike (Romeoville) on May 6th!! Thank you to Krystal Klevo!!! You are the BEST!!!

Guy who looked like he was secretly, older big belly with glasses randomly shoulder checked me for no reason. Gave me a nasty a look and walked into an employee area. I was just trying to go get my shoes

Sooooo much fun!! This place is a great ADULT night!! Bowling, movies, sports games, two bars, lounge with big fire pit. Fun sporty date night; young or older folk.

Me and my family had so much fun here and I recommend everyone to come with their families as well they are so nice and considerate and they will work with you on budgeting with you One of the managers Matt Devorsky was super nice and kind to me and my family and he made my day so much better and I very much appreciate him for that ??

Amazing atmosphere, not to mention game room and laser tag. Bar was quite pricey. They charged extra for on the rocks, like you know that's just ice.

Our son and daughter in law had their baby shower party here. It was all set up for us when we arrived. The staff was friendly and attentive. Zero work for the parents, which was so awesome! Very affordable pricing.The food is really good for a bowling alley! Our family had a great time. This was our first time there, we will definitely come back again. Thank you to Bowlero Romoeville staff for making us feel welcome.

Definitely will be back soon the food was good, drinks could of been stronger but definitely a vibe for fun

Large bowling facility with arcade room, laser tag, bar, restaurant and many lanes for bowling. Great for parties and events. Does get very busy on the weekends. One thing that bothered me was the amount of alcoholic beverages left unattended and discarded by adults in what is clearly a kids area-the arcade. Music plays continously loud so you'll need to be prepared for the loudness. Otherwise a good place to go. I went on a Saturday night for an event. Would probably prefer to go early in the weekday.

The absolute worst experience I've ever had and will never be back. Staff just sat behind counter talking with each other and not friendly once they decided to help us. Way over priced for cold food that took 45 min to come out. Over half the arcade is broke and attendant was completely rude to the kids. Lanes are no good. Not much space for groups. By the end of the night, after spending a few hours there, they have metal detectors and police there, not an establishment I would bring a family to. Very very

I went on a date night with my boyfriend. Place is great! It has a very cool vibe. The music was early 2000's and I LOVED IT! I kept dancing all night. We only had a couple of beers, but the food on the screen looks amazing.

The bowling experience was nice; however, the manager was unnecessarily rude. We ordered food during a non busy time and did not receive our food until an hour later. Some of our party did not receive our food. When the food arrived it was incorrect and when we brought it to the staff, the manager was so rude he snatched the food from a family member while she was eating. He needs more training in professional development or not work in a person based field. His rudeness is inexcusable.

Family friendly place and great service by Damian and his employees. Very accommodating!!

I love this place simply because Cathy is the best part of Bowleo. She's always welcoming...she awesome we love this place.

Trying to book an event for 31st ... Online pricing has some issues..hence called the reomeoville location...she transferred me to sales and no one picked up ... Tried again and told her not to transfer but the same thing... They hung up.... Looks like they had too much business...and don't care about customers...

This is my favorite place to bowl! It's newer and clean. The staff is super friendly. And we were so spoiled at Kid Fest this year. Thank you to Bowlero Staff, the Romeoville Firefighters, and Romeoville Police Officers that were also present! ??

Had a great time thanks to haleigh she was awesome

I haven't been here in years. And my boyfriend and I went there for a date. We had a blast. The place looks great!

We had our son?s 10th Birthday party at Bowlero today, 12/14/24. Krystal was amazing. She communicated well and made sure that everything we needed was provided. Thank you Krystal for making Jace?s birthday special and memorable. ??

Had a great time here for a District Appreciation event! Food was delicious and staff was kind and helpful! Definitely coming back again!

Family had great time host was awesome as well

Great place to bowl as a family and let your kids roam free in the arcade. A little pricey, but we do not go out bowling that often so it's worth it.

False advertising for the college night when I tried to take my gf on Thursday night after 9pm. We had our last year college ID and they would not honor the discount of unlimited bowling or the budlight being 2.50. Oh and the employees seem like they dont want to be there working showing mean mug face as we walked past them after paying full price per game and shoes. Everything here is priced higher then Plainfield lanes a few miles away from here. If you want to spend more money with a uneasy environment ,

All I can say is that I had an amazing time, service, and delicious appetizers. I was fortunate to get the best customer service I can ask for. I had Tony (Operation Manager) come by our lane to ensure we had the best possible service experience. We are grateful for your service Bowlero! Family of six is very pleased, will be back soon!

My family came here Labor Day Weekend and reserved a lane. We went to the arcade beforehand and had a blast. There were so many fun games to play. We wanted lunch before bowling so we ordered the sampler platter and the 4 of us were stuffed. Great time/food and very reasonably priced with great service. Will absolutely be back.

Honestly I tried it twice. The lanes work well. But the service! Service was terrible both times. Both times they stared at me and continued conversation with each other and left me standing there at the counter. Drinks and Food takes 40 min when they weren't busy. And tasted cold and bland. VERY expensive and expected much better than that. I hate giving negative reviews but this really bothered me

This is one of the best bowling place I've been to. It looks fancy and its pretty neat! Love the decorations! Perfect for friends and family altogether.

Dan is an excellent manager, we had some problems but everything was solved, a tremendous person and a better leader. Thanks for the shoes, without a doubt I would return to this place for him. ????????

Nice lil chill spot for a date or family night! I especially love the open Pitt fire they have to sit by on those cold nights ??

They've named changed from Bowelro to Lucky Strike, but still the amazing place it's always been!

One of the better bowling places I've been to. Food: Top notch Customer service : Top tier Amenities: A grade Bowling bowls : have seen better days Arcade : awesome Laser tag : Mid tier : some guns were malfunctioning but nevertheless had a ton of fun at a company event. Highly recommend.

Massive TVs at the end of the lane are distracting, and for some reason an ice skating tournament in Germany was on every TV lol. Still was fun with a group.

Playing here in a league and it's very well run bowling venue, staff are always super friendly and very helpful, good selection of food and great drinks from bar, great for family fun or fun evening to hangout with friends.

The manager who worked last night was very friendly and excited to be at work. He made our experience very special. We'll definitely be back next week. Thanks team romeoville! :)

This location sucked, besides the expensive watered down drinks we had to wait 30-45 minutes in between before they brought out the replenish food. The excuse was the kitchen was overwhelmed, that's not my problem and then when they brought the food out it's all cold. I had way better service at the woodridge location.

Great atmosphere clean. Currently celebrate small family birthday celebration and family bonding. Awesome customer service With a simple hello and hi ??. Check it out. I definitely recommend it and definitely book again to celebrate a party or any occasion.

We had our son?s birthday party at this location. All the kids had a great time and the food is pretty good. Ivan the manager was so helpful. Definitely would recommend having your kids party here.

Modern and updated atmosphere as compared to other Bowleros. This location is very clean and also has good food, drinks & service.

Great place!! They need to get some replacement corn hole bags.

Cathy is the best bartender she know how to treat people really nice

I like the arcade and bowling but please repair the pool tables, they are a wreck. 2/3 of the tables are bendy and the fabric is ripping and one has a big brown stain all over it. And these are 15 an hour pool tables.

Huge place, something for everyone! Great atmosphere, great food!

If I'm being honest, this place sucks. I went here on a school field trip and it was completely horrible. Everything was normal and fun until I ordered food. I ordered the mozzarella sticks and a milkshake and everything was fine. The mozzarella sticks came in about ten minutes but it was the milkshake that completely ruined everything. I had ordered the food at 11:53 and still hadn't gotten my milkshake at 12:47 ( For the record we were leaving at 1:15) so I asked the guy at the stand and he kept on saying

What a cool bowling alley! Love that it's more than just bowling! Took our children for a fun night! Very clean and updated. Lots of TVs above the lanes. Music is playing and black lights! The food was delicious especially that cookie with ice cream on top! My only issue was service from the kitchen seemed to be very delayed.

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.
