People that run that place are very nice and friendly. If you're looking for a good place to go. You'll always make friends there.
The staff here is just mean. It sucks to come with your family in good spirits just to have them ruin the mood and energy. We were consistently kind despite which just seemed to make the lady angrier. The people on the opposite lane to us got a completely different attitude. She was so kind to them. Can't help but to think it was racially motivated due to the way she was eyeing us. We won't ever be back.
Was their for a friend's birthday party had a great time my boys loved it staff was super friendly 10/10
Very expensive lesson learned to never go back to this bowling establishment staff was very rude except for one women there ,pizza was raw and ,wasn't even cut?
Family was excited to go bowling then becki was very rude and ruined what was supposed to be a good family time. We had two small children and the bumpers for our lanes did not work then purchased a pizza, and the quality and price were less than desirable.
Had a wonderful anniversary with my boyfriend. Jackie was an absolute joy!! Awesome woman!! Offered to take pictures of me and my boyfriend with a greeting smile, was very bubbly and polite and friendly. Also helped me with many of my dumb questions, though I am not from here. She made it a great night. KUDOS TO JACKIE!! Thanks??
I didn't want to even give a star but had to. Extremely long wait to get help if ordering food. Along with an attitude, the pizza was raw.
Jammed operation of pin machine fixed almost before I could notice
Great leagues. Reliable lanes. Amazing staff. Food that hits the spot. Check out the bar too. Arcade is amazing. Half off Wednesday. Prizes are top notch.
We had a great time. $3.50 to rent shoes, $2.50 a game on Sunday mornings. There are different rates for different times, such as u limited bowling at a set rate. There is an iPad type of score keeper that will even allow you to take your picture and put it up along with your name on the overhead monitor. There is a nice little game room that you can get a card to load your money on and it also keeps tour tickets so you don't have to worry about losing any or counting them all up.
Lanes seem slanted, arcade is cool kinda expensive compared to other alleys with each game being $1 each, Lanes was $25/hr for 6 people we had 7 people so someone had to sit out. Shoes rentals separate. Managers were very nice and helpful
Great wings? by far the best I've had in this area. Will definitely order for takeout. Shawn and Cameron were pleasant and great hosts.
Guy working the register gave us a hard time about the way we were bowling, and continued to stare and watch us as we bowled. Making the experience uncomfortable. Wouldn't let us pick our lane because he didn't want to reclean it. The pizza we got was undercooked. Bowling was a bit on the pricey side. The overall experience was unpleasant and we will not be returning.
I went there with my nanny and my brother but we did have a good time and I also got a strike during the game and I really loved it as did put on bowling shoes and I got really thirsty before the game had started as well and I also had a small pretzel and oh boy that pretzel was so good and I ate the whole thing and I would like to go there again!!!! ????????????????And bowling is one of my favorite sports in town
Me and my kids love going their for family fun
I called ahead to make sure they had open bowling. The woman said they'd actually be closing early because of lack of business. When we arrived they were completely full with their league. I was flabbergasted . Very disappointed that we wasted our time.
We had a great time! Lanes didn't break down once and the place was clean. Staff was friendly. Will come here again!
Great and friendly.service. Becky was awesome to work with for our 1st fundraiser. The day of Troy was the best along with the staff for set up and anything else we needed. And the food selection on the menu was delicious!!! Thank You
Good lanes, good variety to pick from house balls. My only complaint is that there is a lack of lanes open for everyone in the late afternoon and evening. Just makes it difficult to take the kids bowling after school during the weekdays, when your only days off work are during the weekdays, other then that it's a good experience all around
First time bowling in quite a few years! Was a fun time here
Pretty decent experience! I went here once when I was younger around 6 or 7 maybe, finally got to go back yesterday at 16 years old with my cousin and it was different than how I remember it but pretty cool! It's setup how I remember the roller roost being with the cool flooring that kinda glows, lights, loud music, and 2 TVs that play music or lyric videos corresponding to the song playing which is cool to watch as you eat or wait for your turn to bowl. Bowling prices aren't that bad in my opinion, seems p
Really nice bowling alley. I had tons of fun bowling, and at the little arcade. I was able to get 3 strikes today. The arcade has pretty low ticket payouts, but props to whoever thought about the amazing setup, especially with the limited space. Spent 20 dollars, got 500 tickets.
Family friendly atmosphere...top notch staff and the kitchen staff is great!!!
Don't let old reviews fool you. Not near as good as it used to be. Just paid $50 for an hour of bowling with shoes so we had to rush. It took the fun out of it honestly. Won't be returning sadly. We have come here for years.
Don't go here too often as I am not a huge bowler. The food is excellent and they have a decent variety. The staff is friendly and the bar that is attached is pretty nice. All in all a great place to bowl for the family. The bar also does live bands from time to time.
Always a blast! Nice to have some local fun for the family. Great place to throw birthday parties or to go on the weekend for the glow bowl. Staff is awesome and friendly. Food is really good. Love the gravy fries!!!
Really busy place! But extremely fun!lots to do for my 6-year-old who calls it the other Chuck e cheese.
Had our daughters birthday party there. Absolutely horrible. Staff was rude and disorganized. The pizza didn't come out till a half hour before the end of the party. We ordered food and waited 45 min for hotdogs and nachos, absolutely ridiculous. The kitchen and staff were disgusting, will definitely be filing a complaint with the department of Health. Will never go back and I will make sure we tell everyone we know how bad it is there. Will do has many bad reviews as possible on numerous sites.
This place deliberately tries to overcharge for everything! There is no way that 1 hour of bowling, a terrible pizza and 2 hotdogs should cost over $100 for 2 adults and 2 children!
Good place to go. Has food, Kids games, bar in a adjoining building. Gets really busy on Sat night. I would suggest a call in advance. Staff super nice and you can request songs to be played next without feeding a jukebox??.
Love bringing the family here! Always a great time. The staff is wonderful, very friendly. Give it a try even if you have never bowled before!
Great lanes , pizza and fries were good friendly people had a great time at a birthday party that we were invited too
There were some things I could def complain about this place and this experience today.. but all in all, the kids had fun there, the wife had fun there (skeeball wizard), and I had fun there. We ate, we bowled, we played games with small ticket payouts, and I spent about $100 in 2 hours. Fun time tho
Visited in January of 2022. The attendant on duty (I think his nickname was "Twigg") refused to allow a disabled person in our party to use a ramp. He was unapologetic and unsympathetic and ruined a fun outing for my friend, who already has a difficult time interacting in public. Very disappointing to see disabled discrimination in the 2020s!
Well first this place needs alot of upgrading. Even though I personally dont mind old buildings etc the main issue it needed a good cleaning. The floors werent vacuumed or washed in a long long time. Where the tables were all the chairs are always left on top. They make no effort to make it a warm place to be. I mean that literally as the heat was set so low I could barely take it. Pros were pricing is fair and well never much of a crowd (although you understand why) personally this was my 4th time going an
Had a family night out with dinner and bowling. Their beer battered shrimp was excellent but the chicken quesadilla was one of the best I have ever had anywhere.
Awesome place to bowl and friendly staff.
Went in with 3 year old grand daughter and ask for a lane the lady behind the counter yelled do you have a reservation. No. Well there's nothing I can do for you. Totally rude.
It was my first time bowling and this place was really fun.
Unlike a lot of other bowling alleys, this one was clean. There was plenty of staff on hand and they were very helpful. Food stand the food was fantastic. I will definitely be going there again
We use to go to the coal bowl for bowling and games but they closed down. We had to travel a bit to get here but it was worth it. Clean, nice lanes, good balls and a fun arcade. We'll be back next time.
Always have fun here, great family place. Staff are always so friendly, helpful and polite. Keep up the great work guys <3
Great staff, clean perfect facility. Had a great time with my children. We will definitely be back. PS the taco fries are amazing.
Great place for family fun. Reasonable price. Well maintained. Friendly staff. Will be returning regularly.
Very nice/clean bowling alley on the inside.. The 2 stars are due to the bad experience with the staff - specifically, the two short hair women. I couldn't believe how rude they were to us but more so, my jaw dropped at the way the blond lady literally YELLED at the dark haired lady 2 feet from us. It was totally embarrassing and COMPLETELY inappropriate. There is never a good reason to treat another human being like that, let alone a co-worker and NEVER in front of paying customers! I kick myself for not s
Nice employees amazing food and you can always cound on a great time as long as you call ahead of time because they are usually busy
I had a great time my 4 year old grandson had a birthday party all went well and we could drink adult beverages woohoo thanks for a good time also had a great guy taking care of us ????
Great service great employees I got no complaints other than how far away but it's still great to be there.
Had a blast with the family... the bartender was so nice.
Very clean and friendly. Perfect place for a kid's birthday party or a night out with friends. Great place for a first date or any corporate event.
From out of state checked their website out ended up going and getting the family package that comes with 4 shoe rentals 2 hrs of bowling nachos and pretzel bites with cheese for 42.95. They have bowling league every night so if you want a lane reserve it because you wont get one. They have a pro shop inside we ordered 2 bowling balls there tj was super nice and did a great job on our engraving and cutting the ball. Definitely going to come back here when im in pennsylvania again.
Started coming here about a year ago, My Wife and I were looking to get out one night and thought bowling would be fun and We'd get some exercise. Bought shoes, balls and everything else since. Joined a league and We're having a blast!! TJ in Keglers Pro Shop is an Awesome coach!! ( I needed lessons.. ) Great people all around and the food is great. Call ahead though to reserve a lane as leagues are very active year round. See You on the Lanes!!!
Amazing place to take the kids or meet up for a get together. Amazing staff whom are kind and courteous and go that extra mile.
Fun game. New arcade. More bowling balls. Decent food. Plus a bar separate on the otherside
Fun place, friendly staff. Pricing on the weekends is outrageous. But would suggest to anyone during the week. And always call ahead incase of leagues for availability.
Great family fun. Lots of lanes. They also have a small arcade, and a very friendly helpful staff. Had a great time here. Thank you.
Little lanes and hardly open late. Plus the leagues are there until 8:30pm like some of us other people want to bowl too. And don't get me started on the limited food options
The Best place to have fun with your FAMILY ! Bowling, Video games & Food ! Every is so nice they treat you like FAMILY! Lone going there ! ????
Nice spot. Friendly staff, especially Troy. Hourly lane rates super reasonable. We'll be back!
We enjoyed our time here with our church youth group! Great friendly service and my daughter even won free food!
Smoke will be encrusted in your clothes but being,able to eat and drink while bowling is always a plus! Fun nights out here tho
Nice place to have a good time and the manager and stuff are good people. Have fun! ??
Very nice place to go. Bowling alley are nice and it's the first bowling alley that I ever seen that has a bar there too. Food is good too.
Nice alley, decent amount of lanes. I really liked the touch pads at every lane, the statistics are cool.
Staff are friendly and try to accommodate one's needs.
A little expensive over 75 dollars for 6 ppl for 2 hours. If your two hours is up in the middle of a game your lane turns off and you can't finish.
This place is a fun time! bowling, fun bar, pretty good food! cant go wrong with that winning combination...
I love taking my family to this bowling alley. It has a nice environment, the employees are friendly, and the food is delicious!
Friendly staff, clean facility, synthetic lanes with modern computer scoring. Good food with a full bar. Very good pro shop
Very nice family place,clean and well ran
$48.50 for an hour of bowling and 3 sets of bowling shoe rentals? very expensive, but nice clean facility.
Thank you so much to Strike Zone for helping is Strike Out Alzheimer's!!! I wish my game was better but that isn't their fault lol. Great time tonight, thank you.
Some staff are really nice and friendly and then others have very poor people skills. Needs to improve with organization and manners.
Its ridiculous with league bs... seriously need a spot just for leagues!! There's leagues everyday till like 9pm and only have 3 lanes open for reg guests its packed, n ridiculous
I enjoy bowling here, quality staff running the place. Food is actually really good with a decent amount of options too.
great family place, friendly staff, reasonable food. arcade for little ones
Always have a great time! Staff are great! Prices are reasonable!
Well kept, friendly staff, great prices, lots to do, awesome bar
Nice clean bowling alley. Went mid day and had a great time. Reservations are recommended.
Nice bowling alley, Great food especially the wings. Fun time
Great deal! Great bowling! Great food! My two sons and I had a fantastic time.
Its a nice place to bowl, they've done a lot of upgrading recently and have glow bowing every weekend.
What an Awesome staff! The facility was clean and modern and the staff was so polite and helpful!
A great place for you and your buddies or you and your family, great bar and very nice lanes
A fun place to spend your time, great people and good food..
I enjoyed myself at strike Zone .. thank you for allowing me in my family the entertainment ??

Guy working the counter got an attitude and no manners. Ruined the experience
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.”
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.
