Customer Reviews

My friends and I had so much fun here. It's very kid-friendly and suited for family bonding. A place that offers entertainment for all ages. The addition of an arcade provides extra excitement and fun for everyone. It's wonderful to find places that cater to both children and adults. Highly recommended.

Waited here with my wife and kids for over an hour tonight. Guy at desk claims he sent text for our lane, no text, showed phone, them miraculously gets us a lane. Go to order food at 8:58pm and kitchen says we can't order. Told Jeremy, the manager what the deal was, and he says sorry, we just closed at 9:00pm. We've been here over an hour waiting, no text, and these guys act like this. I ask if this is the level of customer service expected here and he says yes. Also mentions Chris, so you hired a dummy for

Good food and a nice experience! The arcade was fun, but I wish they had games for 1 token or more games for 2. We had a token left on 3 cards... And couldn't use them. Also both air hockey tables were not working, so that was disappointing. This was our second time and the kids loved it the first time. Birthdays at this location are so fun!

We had a fantastic experience at River Lanes Bowling! The staff was incredibly nice, and the service was quick, making our visit smooth and enjoyable. We decided to have a last-minute, impromptu pizza party, and they accommodated us exceptionally fast. The pizzas were delicious and a great value?I highly recommend trying the Buffalo Ranch Pizza (so good!). The manager was super friendly and kind, adding to the welcoming and fun atmosphere. Overall, it was a great place to bowl, eat, and hang out! We'll de

Family friendly, staff was super nice, they were also very helpful, lots of bowling lanes, all the machines in the arcade worked, the restaurant had great food, they had lots of prizes to choose from.

We've always enjoyed River Lanes ? the bowling and food are great, and we're glad this place exists. But unfortunately, our most recent experience in the arcade has cost you our business and led to this review. Five days ago, my wife, our three kids, and I spent over $150 in the arcade in about 45 minutes. One of the machines ? the Wizard of Oz game ? didn't deposit around 1,000 tickets onto our card. When I told the employee working the prize area, she rolled her eyes, didn't apologize, and showed no effo

Discover the pleasures of River Lanes, a haven for families and friends seeking a relaxed environment. Savor the flavors of their satisfying food, enjoy your favorite sports, and choose from an assortment of refreshing drinks. Amidst an uplifting ambiance, create unforgettable moments and foster meaningful connections.

Overall amazing experience between staff, arcade and food. However, if you take bowling seriously this is a terrible place to bowl. I use the same personal ball every time and know my ball very well, the lanes are never consistent. Whenever I come I can hear Forrest Gump whispering in my ear ?the lanes are like a box of chocolates you never know what you're gonna get.? Sometimes my ball will never pull, others it'll kiss the right right gutter and still gutter all the way left (my balls never been capable o

This is a very fun place to spend a Sunday. Besides bowling they have a large area of pool tables, a mid sized arcade and bar and grill that serves amazing food. The food is so good here, it's hard to believe it is made in a bowling alley. All the staff is friendly and attentive. They rent the lanes by the hour. Get there before 5 on the weekdays and it's half off. After 9pm on Friday and Saturday is lazer bowling which comes with a deal as well. They keep track and email you your scores so you

Clean, staffing is constantly cleaning surfaces. Food is good, drinks are reasonably priced. Staff is friendly. Just what you expect when you go out. Happy hour from 3 to 6, $2 domestic drafts and $2 well drinks. Tuesday $2 well drinks all day. Place is very clean.

Your typical entertainment center. This is a great family activity for bowlers, kids who love arcades, pool and bar lovers. The atmosphere here is friendly and family oriented. This is a frequent bowling location due to league bowling for a relative so we love this spot. The arcade games range from 50 cents to 1 dollar and 5 dolllars is plenty for the kids.

Gotta be the absolute best bowling alley I've been to! The Sunday special...$1/game if there before 10am...and continues as long as you are there bowling! What a deal! The bar/restaurant...top notch! The food was excellent inexpensive, the drinks are delicious and very reasonably priced. All the staff members were friendly and engaging. Top notch business. I applaud you! I would definitely go back to this bowling alley when I'm back in the area.

It was a really good time for my kids. I wish they had more arcade games but a good time for sure!

Great facility. Clean, friendly and helpful staff. You can schedule special events with them easily. They worked with my family on a birthday party that was to take place on the same day as a tournament and two other parties. They helped us coordinate so we not only got the lanes we needed, but were able to get food and drinks in a timely manner. They also allowed us to bring in a birthday cake, when they don't generally allow outside food or drinks. We will definitely do more events here in the future and

Really good food, and reasonably priced drinks. Pool tables are really old and its really dark in the area they're in but still a fun time.

Great place for families. We go with my adult children, their spouses and our grandson. Awesome family time. The bar/pub/restaurant in there has some good food so, we bowl and eat. Friendly people at the food place. One item out of all the food we ordered was wrong. I brought it back and they apologized and made a new one the way we wanted it.

Lanes were coming up at the foul line when a ball was thrown. Zero oil on the non league lanes. Only let you play by the hour instead of by game which I assume was because the league was taking up all the lanes. Food was good though, so that was a plus.

We loved it for my daughters 9th birthday party. There was something to do for everyone. Wait staff was amazing, David was wonderful with the kids.

Nice and clean bowling alley. Lanes were empty when we arrived, but we were told we were limited to one game because a large group was coming. Staff was friendly, but you may want to call ahead to confirm availability. If we would have been a little later, they most likely wouldn't have let us bowl. There is a restaurant and bar here which is a little convenient. There is also a small arcade here as well.

Love it, did not realize it was in a bowling alley until I got there. Great food, awesome service and things to do. Pool, bowling, games, trivia! Great atmosphere!

I will never come here on a Tuesday night again. There was a woman named Michelle behind the front desk that was incredibly rude. We had our whole family in town, 5 adults and 3 kids, all bowling and she made it incredibly awkward for us to bowl. She had such a bad attitude about how we were still bowling at 9pm, when they close at 10. I get there was only an hour till they closed, but we were still bowling and she kept asking us to move out of her way to put balls back and was acting so annoyed that we wer

Our family and friends love it here! We visit often because its always everyone's first Choice! We love all the servers here, they are an amazing team.

Been coming here since I was a child, totally understand inflation but their arcade prices are ridiculous. $5 (10credits) to play a claw machine? Some are 12 credits!! They do have lower credit games at 3 and 4 but thats insane to charge $5-$6 for one game. We payed the prices and enjoy the games but wont be back for a while.

Enjoyed the night bowling in pairs with family and friends. Fair pricing for show rental and games. Exclusive glow in the dark after 10pm. When ordering food be specific if detailed about your order, Pizza could be less crunchy and a bit thicker. Variety of foods and drinks. Arcade game area, pool table, and bar.

Well, obviously, I haven't been bowling in years, as this place looks great, and has lots of lanes even a snack bar restaurant, but I didn't realize how EXPENSIVE $$$$ it is to go bowling these days.

Fun place, foods good and budget friendly

We usually host a once a year bowlathon to raise money for the Black Women's Roundtable (BWR) Great fun for adults and kids.

Every single time I try to bring my young child bowling I am told the lanes are closed due to ?something? for hours, usually untill late at night, yet they have tons of lanes completely empty and then I have leave with my child disappointed and crying because he can't go bowling again. It is amazing how difficult it is to just take my child bowling at a ?public? bowling alley.

I love the set up of the lanes and the tables. The smell of the food was amazing. They had water that you could help yourself . All the staff were helpful, courteous and very kind. Had a great time.

Great bowling experience went here for my husbands work event celebrating family Day.

We just celebrated our 12 year old's birthday there today. Halle provided great service and was very attentive to our needs. They even sent our child home with a personalized bowling pin! We will definitely be back in October for another birthday

I normally get food from this place, if you're looking to throw a birthday party or just have a fun get-together here I highly recommend their Buffalo wings. Their spicy sauce is TO DIE for. I've never had any wing sauce THAT good before, it also has a very good kick if you're looking for spice and flavor. The people there are always so respectful and awesome as well. Definitely 5 stars.

So much fun! We had a group event and they were amazing making sure we had plenty of food and drinks. Shoes were easy to get and they were quick to help.

Overall I have no complaints. Lanes are generally pretty affordable (even having special deals if you come at the right time) and the arcade is cheap enough to play for a while if you just wanna pass some time. Shoe rentals are actually fairly priced, and usually there's a few lanes open so you almost never have to wait for a lane to open up. You just walk up, buy the lane and you're already ready to bowl.

We had a wonderful Christmas party last weekend. A good time was had by all. Thank you Tyler for being so attentive and nice.

Love the sat night bowling!! $15 2 hours and shoes is a great value

In town with my wife and wanting to catch a football game on tv. Sat at the bar and had great service from the bar. Had a pretzel and beers and enjoyed the game. Atmosphere is very casual.

River Lanes is a great way to have fun with your family. No TV, no cell phones, no computers, no game consoles. Just great family fun and memories. Reasonable prices. Clean establishment. Good food. Give it a try. I promise you won't regret it.

Customer service is absolute garbage here. Don't waste your time to eat here.

Had lunch there. Service and food were very good.

Great atmosphere and even better service, full bar and restaurant cannot be happier.

My family surprised me to eat and then bowl 2 games. We had a blast! The staff was so nice!

I went with my team and we all had a blast bowling it was fun

Definitely an awesome place to go while trying to have some in Florida. Had a blast doing extreme bowling. Food was Fabolous at the River city grill aswell.

Great place to while away a couple of hours while waiting for a launch from Cape Canaveral

Restaurant is good, alley is clean and well kept. Kenny in the pro shop is absolutely top notch. Best alley in Brevard besides the highschool employees with bad attitudes. Jeremy the manager was really nice and apologetic for two bad experiences in two consecutive weekends out of many nights at this alley. Hopefully it's just a coincidence and doesn't become the norm.

I had to wait for people to get off from work to give a ride back to the office to so I stopped in the grill and bar at River Lanes the food is phenomenal Angie the bartender is even more phenomenal if you're in the Titusville area you need to stop in

Amazing place. First time bin in bowling place, literally love it we book 1 line for 2 hours in 65 dollars which includes large pizza, pitcher of soda, shoe for all of us to use, 10 dollar in card toword playing on different games. It was great experience

We really enjoy River Lanes each time we visit. I have 3 children under the age of 12 and they always have a fantastic time. Typically our day ends with them begging to stay longer. They have bowling lanes that are equipped with bumper guards should you request them, I always ask for them for the kiddos. They also have childrens bowling rails for easy kid friendly bowling. They have pool tables, a nice arcade that gives them tickets they can turn in for prizes. There is a full bar and a restaurant on site a

What a blast the whole family got together. The bowling alley was very accommodating. There were 12 of us such a good time we went on seniors day that included the shoes with the lane for 10 bucks and it was for a few hours what a bargain, after we were done bowling, we sat down for a great lunch. The prices were reasonable and the staff was very accommodating. Definitely will be back.

Phenomenal lanes, great staff, good pizza, & amazing arcade!! Everyone will LOVE this place!!!

We like to come here for the pizza and bowling. We have use their arcade since we moved here 4 years ago. This is the first time we see the red sleepers card on it. I wish that management finally let those red sleepers cards for real on the machines, when you see those the coin pusher is conveniently broken.

Been going here since I was a kid. Its changed a lot over the years but still has so much to offer. Love seeing a local business flourish!

Ate at the bar and grill, incredibly fresh and delicious chicken salad wrap and the house made chips were perfect. Highly recommend.

Food is awesome. Great atmosphere. Family night or a date. Great place to have a good time.

We absolutely love River Lanes and all of their amenities! Their front desk employee Bree is always so helpful and and kind. She is professional and fair with all the families she interacts with. If you want to bowl in Brevard County, please pick River Lanes in Titusville. It is worth the drive every single time!

Was a great place. Everyone was having fun. Kid friendly. Game Room Food and more. A little pricey.

My kids really like it here. We always make it a family night because it's close by and they love the arcade games and wings!

Great food at the restaurant and plenty to do along with bowling.

My family went to a birthday party there! Drinks were cheap, and the food was excellent!

This place is amazing!!! Bowling alley, billards, arcade, good food, birthday party venue. Great customer service, family atmosphere. Everything you need to have a blast.

I enjoy this place it's great. The one thing that makes it hell are the balls. I don't know if it's the ball returns or what but every single ball in this place is greasy. Makes bowling rather difficult. We've never had this issue until a few months ago. Went again the other day to see if the problem was resolved and it was not. Can't get a solid game in because we're running back and forth from the bathroom to wash the grease off our hands which only helps a little. The ball still slips out of your hand 90

My brother is mentally challenged, they are all so good with him . He is a great bowler and there at 3 times a week.. we love the restaurant food is the best

Nice staff good lanes w a full bar and grill.

Hi, yesterday we ordered a large pepperoni pizza and after 40 waiting or more looking at the kitchen to see if it was coming to us our pizza, I decided to go and ask, got to the kitchen counter and no one knew what happened. The screen shows that the order was placed but no pizza was made. Then, they said it was made and then implied that we already had it. Then, they realized that it was made but wrongly delivered to a birthday party they were having in one of the rooms. All I got as customer service was w

It was the first time I bowled here and had a fantastic time. We enjoyed the food, friendliness and atmosphere.

We meet once a month on Friday night. Always a good night.

Not usually very busy and good pricing during the day. We also really like their arcade. They recently redid the arcade and there is more to do in it.

Family fun with a clean atmosphere. A bit expensive for a family of 4. Enjoyed all the activities available!!!

This is by far the nicest bowling area around. We have been to others in Brevard County, but this one is always clean, doesn't look like we are still in the 70's, and had great scoring software. They have recently updated their pinsetters, and with the new software, you can now "pick your shot". If you only want to practice 10 on pickups you can do that! The restaurant has some of the best food around and the arcade stays clean and well attended. The staff are airways friendly and helpful.

Bowling and so much more. Love the grill, family owned, helps the community with fundraising events.

Don't really care for paying for a lane by the hour. Makes you feel rushed & it's hard to rush when they put a birthday party for a 4 year old next to you. Very distracting & always 1-3 people up to bowl on their lane. The layout is also different then I've ever seen. Only a table to sit at while waiting for your turn to bowl,& just 1 level, no step up to the lane like most bowling lanes have.

Late night meal and drinks with friends last week. Generally the food and service is terrific, it was very busy. We had a party of 9. Pizza was amazing as usual. I was D.D. and asked 3 times for a cup of decaf coffee, over the course of an hour.Waitress apologized twice and I ended up getting a cup of hot water at the service counter myself and used a teabag I had with me. That was disappointing. I was charged for the coffee. I just paid the bill. Not worth the hassle.

Took the family there for supper we sat at a table 10 feet from bar they never came to serve us. We ended up going and placing our orders at bar. She said they don't serve tables. They messed up our orders as well. This was the second visit for us and we lived here two years. They were an embarrassing display of service. No tip, which I am a big tipper for good service, and we will not be eating there again. Thanks but no thanks.

One of the best bowling alleys I've ever been to. They take phenomenal care of their Lanes. Keep up the great work!

Great people, lively and friendly atmosphere with a bunch of things to do for adults and kids

Didn't like Food. Wings were uncooked and the did not give me the Celery with it. The fill your drink with lots of ice so you hardly get a drink and the fries are really small and they only serve you a very small portion. I'm not comming back, at least not for the food.

Great locals spot in Titusville. Most bowling alleys have good food. But River Lanes has one of the best burgers in town. They staff takes great care of me and the guys I bowl with on Tuesdays. Searra, front of the house manager is awesome. She always goes above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Christiana, always knows what we want to order before we even tell her. She always has a smile on her face no matter how busy she gets. Long story, go have a fun evening or event at River Lanes

Decent prices, decent food, great drinks, great facility. Always a good time.

I hit thr jack pot on the machine, and then scored theses ticket bundles in the claw machine. Decent arcade. I never bowled there

I've been going to River Lanes since the 60s and it's better now than it's ever been... The staff is kind and courteous...clean as always... Great bar and good food...

My 90 year old Mother had a blast and bowled a 112. Thanks for the unforgettable memories. The Chicken Wrap is the best.

We had our 6 year olds birthday party here today! Amazing service and food! Emily was an amazing host! Highly recommend, very organized and friendly! We'll be spending more time at River lanes for sure! Pizza was tasty for the kids and I can't believe we've never had the wings. Possibly competing the best cooked wings in town! Fresh and crispy! ?? ??

My mother and brother-in-law go bowling here quite often. They like it a lot. We went with them a few weeks ago. The place is very nice

On 10/5/21@2pm, we went to celebrate my grandson's birthday. The man at the front desk was amazing. No matter how many times we went to the counter with questions he patiently answered and dealt with our issues. It's people like him who make us want to come back knowing that it's a good place to be. Bowling was fun, there was games for the babies we had, it was a great time for all.

I enjoy riverlanes bowling alley. Family or friendly fun. Video games,basketball games,pool tables,bar. About the bar, when you order an alcoholic beverage, they don't put much alcohol in the drinks. You don't taste any. Maybe if you know the bartender, you might get a better drank. I and also several others who were with me said the same thing about the drinks. We're paying for the drinks we should at least have the satisfaction of tasting some alcohol or whats the point. Good food and snacks, but of cour

There is a restaurant in the bowling alley. The food is really good. Our waitress was on top of everything.

Very clean..Comfy couches and seating areas. The food here is outstanding! We had a great time and I haven't bowled in 20 years! Nice bathroom facilities. It was so much fun! Everyone in our group of 10 had a blast!

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.”
