US Bowling

Good old fashioned bowling alley. well-​maintained lanes and when the bowling leagues show up, it’s a full on Big Lebowski experience, not to be missed. The staff are very friendly, food and drinks are decent and reasonably priced.

If you’re looking for a true bowling experience & none of this over priced boutique bowling nonsense this is the place to go! Cheap beer, all you can bowl weeknights and usually plenty of room. Can’t see what there would be to complain about. This place rules!

Worst bowling place ever .it doesn’t deserve even 1 rating. I should have read reviews before coming here, ladies at the food counter are awful. Please for god sake dont go to this stupid place .and this bullshit place is costly.

The guy at the front desk was nice but not very efficient. The two ladies at the snack bar were awful. Zero customer service skills whatsoever, and acted like we were a burden for buying their food. Definitely won’t be recommending this place to anybody I want to have a nice time.

Good place to bowl. Horrible food. Went with a group and everyone got sick from the food. Never eating there again.

3:00pm report: we walked in the guy says you can buy 2 games get one free for both of us that was 24.09 total including shoes not bad but after that I quickly knew why this place was so cheap. There was no music playing and all you heard was the loud noise coming from the equipment. If you want to go to an outdated bowling alley with old balls old equipment and dirty bathrooms, then this is the place for you. I couldn’t tell what size most of the balls were and just guessed the size depending on how heavy I thought it was. My bf said the bowling balls hurt his fingers. My bf and I was the only ppl in the bowling alley besides the guy behind the counter and two ppl who worked there as well sitting at a table to the far right talking and drinking wine. Before we left I had to use the restroom all the toilets had left over remains except one from a bowel movement which shouldn’t have happened since there was no one there. I’m not sure who was responsible for cleaning this place but they get an
F+ We will never go back to this bowling alley again. This place actually didn’t deserve any stars. There is a lot of room for improvement at this place.

Just tried to go on a Thursday afternoon during posted business hour to find a dark, locked establishment with no attempt at an explanation. Fail.

I’ve been here quite a few times over the years and over the years the place has aged a lot and this is sad but the owners probably can’t afford to update the place in this very poor economy but as a local I like the fact that this place is still here for us to enjoy after all these year and I SUPPORT SMALL LOCAL BUSINESSES as much as I can but while this place is a little dated YOU STILL HAVE A FUN TIME BOWLING and isn’t that the point?! The staff is very helpful and friendly and we will keep going bowling here.

My husband and I went to this alley on a Sunday morning. It was empty at first, but by the time we left (around 1 PM) there was a good crowd and everyone– including us– was having a good time.
I’ll say that all the reviews are hitting on true points. The food there is great– and a lot better (and less greasy) than other bowling alleys like AMC lanes which isn’t too far from here. The price is great– we got a free game after buying two, which made for a nice Sunday morning/​early afternoon activity.
The house balls are old and they’re pitted, but it’s what you should expect from plastic balls. The lanes themselves, though, are well-​oiled, and I didn’t have any problems with the pitted balls– everything rolled well.
My only major complaint (and the biggest reason I’m not going with more than 4 stars, though generally the place did feel a little bit older) came from the first lane we got to– my husband rolled the first ball of the first frame before the pinsetter broke. The staff told us it was a frayed cable. They moved us to a new lane that was completely functional, but it makes me wonder how well the rest of the equipment is maintained (and yes, this stuff gets old and it breaks, that’s just what happens).
I had a FANTASTIC time here, and I would love to go back for more morning games– and I hope to try some of their late night specials. This bowling alley has character. It’s not «Lord Pembroke’s House of Nine-​Pin,» so you don’t expect the best, but I really don’t think this is as bad as it could be, either. Perhaps going at other times will reveal more about the character of the place, but I loved going Sunday morning and I can’t wait to do it again.

The positive:
— kind staff
— decent food
— fun music and modern juke box
— good scoring system
The negative:
— dirty bathrooms
— poorly managed bowling balls (some were dirty and the finger holes were jagged)
— cramped/​musty atmoshpere

We arrived around 11:30 on a friday night and the place was almost empty. That should have been a sign to leave right away. I frequently used bowl at this location years ago and a lot has changed. The place is basically falling apart. The balls are cheap and beat to hell. The men’s bathroom stall have graffiti all over them. The employees and owner really don’t seem to care. I’d rather go to any other bowling alley in the area.

Good food which they could’ve given more of, loud music which didn’t bother me too much but an angry staff of not so friendly employees seriously i dont know what crawled up their rectum and caused them to be pissy it doesnt matter how good they do their job but frowning and giving dirty looks while doing it makes you unprofessional

This place is ghetto, the pin trays drop the pin it sets them up, no music and the staff is not friendly at all like they don’t want to work here

Horrible service, facility is dirty. Restrooms are a mess. Been there 3 times and every time it seems to get worse! Bought a large drink cause the lady told me if I buy large I get free refills and when I tried to refill they started arguing with me that they don’t have refills etc. The manager got mad at me because he was barely speaking English and I wanted my money back and he didn’t knew what i was talking about.

Your average run-​of-​the-​mill bowling alley. I feel a lot of these reviews are skewed… if you want to really bowl, you’ll have your own ball and shoes… stop hating.
The lanes looked fresh, well-​oiled, abeit narrow. You’re here to have a good time. Food is on the pricey side but that’s because youre paying for the convenience. Pizza was standard, beer was cold.
Overall, I had a great time with my coworkers and will visit again!

This place is underrated, I’ve always had a great time playing here. The beer is ice cold and the fries are great! The staff is also very friendly.
We should have more of these establishments around. It is good, clean fun that doesn’t cost a lot.

We originally went to Bowl America on Edsall Road but there was league bowling and so we wouldn’t get a lane for at least two hours. So we went down the street to this bowling alley and EEK! They charge $ 5 per game which you need to prepay or they have a package 3 games with shoes for $ 15.
The balls are pretty banged up with missing chunks and the lanes are not oiled and look wobbly. Everything was very worn and run down. Yet for some reason on a Sunday evening, the place was moderately busy. I will definitely not return, I will wait two hours for a lane at Bowl America thank you.

We went bowling for my brother’s birthday, a dead Wednesday evening, and had a blast. Despite a few hiccups… The place is decrepit, the customer service was questionable, no soap or towels in the bathrooms, the scoring system and lane computers were a tad confused, and don’t even ask about the cost of food! Unfortunately, in the light of day the place sure needs some work. But by the time 9pm hit the lights turned down and the music got louder (thank you!), which was a serious improvement.
Overall, I won’t bother going back, as I know there are other places with better equipment and prices nearby.

This is an old, decrepit, no-​name bowling alley. My friend actually scratched her finger on one of the cracked bowling balls. The bowling balls are all pockmarked, cracked and scarred, and there are not too many balls under 12 lbs. The light in the woman’s bathroom was out, the dryer was broken, the paper hand towels were out, half the video game machines were out of order… the place is pretty much falling apart.
That said, we still managed to have a great time. Everyone who worked there was nice, and we all had fun bowling terribly. If you actually care about improving your game, this is not the ideal setting to play in. But if you want something fun and cheap to do with your friends on the weekend, this will do.

Oh, come on. This place really isn’t that bad. I admit: I live a stone’s throw from it, and I’d never gone in before today because it looks so shady. But it was a nice surprise to find out it’s not the total dive it seems like from the outside.
Maybe I visited post-​remodel, but to me, US Bowling looks like every other bowling alley I’ve been in: a buncha lanes, a snack counter, a rental counter, a party room, an arcade (with Mortal Kombat, yo). Tacky carpeting, tacky chairs, tacky disco balls, tacky strobe lights. No better and no worse than any alley I can remember… no drunk kiddies, no deafening gangsta rap, no skeezy patrons.
But — US Bowling is clean (er than most) and well-​kept. The staff who work there are fine. The ladies at the snack counter carded all four of us in our party, even tho only one of us went up for beer, so under-​aged drunken teeny-​boppers don’t seem to be a problem anymore. It was under $ 12 for a pitcher of Yuengling (or Bud or Coors or other domestics; Yuengling is the clear choice here) — not too shabby. A couple bucks more for Sam Adams or Heinie. The food selection ain’t half bad, either: pizzas, subs/​sammies, and all manner of fried food from zucchini sticks to chicken tenders. I didn’t say the food was good, mind you, just that the selection isn’t bad. Our fries and zucchini sticks could have been Ore-​Ida.
Nine bucks a game, including shoes, or all-​you-​can-​bowl for $ 10 + shoes from 9 — 12 Thursday — Sunday. US Bowling is actually a good place to hang out, have some fun, and enjoy beverages on the cheap.
