Kings County Bowl

The only thing that is iffy is that the employees need to pay more attention to the customers. I stood at the front desk for 15 minutes to return my shoes only because they were having a conversation.

Can’t beat the price per game. But service sucks! Went to a bday party on a Friday night. I assume the people that had the party paid for the room. The kids went to bowl all the lanes were taken. The lady at the desk had told the father that there would be a lane waiting for the kids. When we got out there all the lanes were taken and they told him it would be awhile since there were people in front of him. He rented your party room for gods sake. Anyway the were unapologetic and rude. That’s why they only get 2 stars!!!

The Four stars is for the price. You can’t beat $ 1.75 per game on Sundays before noon ! Otherwise it’s less than $ 3.00 per game. Stay away from the snack bar. You’ll gain 10 pounds and lose $ 10! Can’t go wrong with the beer prices though, $ 3.25 for a Sierra Nevada isn’t bad. Yes, the service could be better but the guy is like 150 years old so I cut him some slack. I usually go Sunday mornings after church and the place is practically empty. I pretty much have it all to myself.

I give the KC bowling alley 3 stars. There’s many good sides to the alley, but there’s a ton of bad sides
For starters, make sure you clear out any concerns with the staff because sometimes they can deceit you. I went bowling two months ago with a couple of friends, and they told me that we (together) would just need to pay a couple dollars to play a round of games. (Note, this was my first time playing at KC Bowl). So of course, we played a couple games, but when we got the bill, we had to pay 5 times the amount that the guy told us! I talked to a different staff member, and she told me that we EACH had to pay a couple dollars. That really ticked me off. NOTE TO THE STAFF: BE SPECIFIC ABOUT PRICING!!! And make it official on your sign.
Speaking about the staff, I believe they all need an attitude adjustment. Whatever happened to «service with a smile»? It’s either I came on a bad day for them, or that’s how they naturally are. Anyway, when I was asking questions on shoe rentals, the score board, and some other things, a man in the office place (that was behind the counter and the door was open) was making rude remarks about us. Like, be mature, dude! If you want respect, you gotta give respect!
Other than the crummy service, the bowling alley was nice and newly decorated. Bowling was fun to play and the time was memorable with friends. The fries are the #1 best item there (dip hot fries in ranch and you have yourself a tasty snack!). The grilled cheese sandwich is pretty good too. If they were bigger, it would be worth the pricey cost. (I think it was like $ 4 or $ 5 for a tiny sandwich and a couple individual fries).

As a part time bowler, and former league member I was excited to find this place. Decided to take a trip and find out what it looked like, etc…
Upon pulling into the parking lot, I was a bit confused on where the entrance was. So I headed up what would be logically the front door, only to find it was locked. Ran around the side and found two big double doors with handicap stickers affixed but not a clear indication of being the entrance. Either way, inside now.
This is a 24 lane bowling alley. At the time, half the lanes appeared to be under repair. There were a handful a guys bowling at the other end.
There is a small snack bar with a grill top and counter style seating. However, the snack bar only accepts cash right now. I don’t know if they plan on changing that later.
It also appears they have a full bar, though it doesn’t open until after 6 P.M. Which is probably good, although the counter gal did open the bar so I could enjoy a bottle of beer. Being imported, the bottle was 3.75, since I am not a beer drinker normally I don’t know if this is expensive or not.
The renovation appears to be focused more on kids and kid’s parties. The color palettes they chose boggles the mind. I’m sure if they do a moonlight and galaxy bowl period it would be great.
The lockers and restrooms are located in the back of the alley, I found it a bit off being that you cannot see either from the lanes. So for parents, it would be best to supervise a restroom trip.
The game pricing is reasonable. 2.75/game with 1.50/shoes. There are specials for pre-​noon bowling in Sundays.
On my next visit, I will bring the balls and check out the lanes. Looking forward to it.

not bad for a small town bowling alley.
I went on two occasions.
On the first night, we were put on lanes #9 and #10. I was surprised on how well the lane conditions were. Oiled to perfection. As an avid bowler, I was very impressed.
In anticipation for another good game, I went the next night. They gave us lane #1 until 6:30 before league takes over. HORRIBLE. Lane#1’s floors of the sitting area was extremely dirty and sticky. Therefore, the approach area was icky. My bowling shoes got very dirty and affected my slide throughout the game. I basically didn’t have a slide since it was so icky. I should have asked them to spray and mop. I asked them for a cloth to wipe it down, but it looks like old icky that should have been cleaned last night.
They probably leave lane#1&2 for casual bowlers and the rest of them are reserved for league bowlers. Can’t really complain much since its a small town bowling alley. At least I had a good first night.

Has been awhile since I’ve been here and for the price and ease of getting a lane this place is great. Family had a blast. Oh and food was pretty darn good

Probably the least expensive bowling alley I’ve ever been to, which makes it something I can take all four of my kids to without breaking the bank. Given it’s location and outward appearance, you might expect it to be run down but it’s actually pretty nice inside. I particularly like the fact that you can program the bumpers to go up and down depending on who is bowling. This means My littles can bowl with bumpers but me and my teenage son can bowl without.

This place is for you IF! you like cheap bowling (cash only I believe, $ 1 shoes, $ 2.25 a game per person), not so great customer service, very few lanes. about 15 bowling lanes and NO MUSIC.
My boyfriend and I came here on a Friday night. It was the closest bowling alley to Lemoore. The drive was a little scary since it was dark and the streets were pretty empty… I felt like I was in a horror movie lol. But when we arrived, the first thing I noticed were the bowling lanes. I was surprised they had so little compared to other alleys I’ve been to. My first disappointment was that there was no music playing… How can you not have any music??? It was just weird since you can hear everybody’s conversations. Then there was a waiting list to bowl. Clearly there were at least 10 lanes available. So we just sat there wondering, what in the world? We figured there was some tournament going on. We waited for about 15 – 20 mins until a staff member called us up. The person said «$ 2» collected our money, gave us the shoe rentals and quickly went back to chit-​chatting with some other folks on the side. Didn’t even explain anything but at that time it didn’t bother me because I was ready to bowl :) their selection of bowling balls weren’t that great either. They were pretty beat up.
After one game, we wanted to play another round. Here’s when I started to get annoyed because of their lack of ability to fully inform. My bf didn’t have cash on him so I gave him 2 bucks (which was what I thought we paid for earlier) to get us another game. He was in line for about 10mins while I waited at our lane. The staff then said «$ 2.25». So he came back asking for a quarter. He waited in line again. At this point I was getting a little impatient because there was A LOT of people waiting for lanes and I felt bad for holding up. Then the staff person said, «It’s $ 2.25 per person» … My bf came back telling me that and I was ready to leave the place. The staff here should be a little more informative. Other than that it’s an OK place to bowl.

WOW! This place is cheap compared to the Bay Area! $ 11 for 2 kids to bowl 2 games each and $ 2 – 3 beer! Fantastic!

$ 1 for shoes and (I think) around $ 5 for a game. You can’t really beat that price! Way cheaper than the bowling alleys in Southern California where they jack up the price to $ 20+. The bowling alley is located in the boondocks of Hanford so it may be a little hard to find at first — just remember it’s located near where they hold the Monday swap meets. The alley itself is a little outdated (as far as interior) but they have modern, computerized, electronic scoring systems in place. There is also a small area where you can buy food and drinks at a decent price.
