Bowlero

This place is a spam. The girl at the front desk told us it would be $55 per person, but when the bill came, they charged us more even tho we were a big group.We even asked for a price list and they said they didn’t have one. Super shady and dishonest. Here is what I paid just for 2 people. Never coming back.

Mona is great and made all our kids have a great time ! She deserves a raise ! :)

Andrew made our experience a great one and deserves any advancement opportunities within the company and beyond.

Idk why the rating is this low. Is pretty damn good. Karems everywhere? Damn

It’s a spam the charge 153 usd for 1 hour of play because we were 4 people

Great as usual, celebrated a birthday - however bar was crowded and took about 15 min to order a drink

It’s a spam the charge a lots of you are a group

Place was great!!! Wanted some time with family and this was the perfect spot for it. If you’re looking for a fun, high-quality bowling experience in Queens, Lucky Strike is the place to be!

Came with friends once and then hosted a birthday for my cousin another time. Bowlero was a blast both times! Six (6) persons are allowed per lane. The shoes, food, drinks (non-alcoholic and alcoholic), and arcade games are sold separately from admissions. Yes, be prepared to spend a little bit of money! *add nervous smile here* Either than that, I'm sure all of their locations are good places to bowl and spend time with loved ones! The Queens, NY, location specifically is clean and spacious. If you are hosting a large event for a group of 10+, I suggest calling the desired location's office phone number. A Rep can help create a package and provide a quote that works for your specific party. Online only provides standard packages. You can also (and only) bring cake, cupcakes, ice cream cake, and the like from outside. The place provides plates and forks if you're hosting an event.

I usually go to the Bowlero in Mineola, but my friends live in Woodside and wanted to go to this location instead. We purchased a Groupon which is only valid before 6 PM. We came on a Saturday and it was very busy and crowded. There were so many birthday parties and kids running everywhere. The place was hot and smelled like fried food. We joined the wait-list at 3 PM and didn't actually get called until a little after 5 PM. We waited outside at some chairs outside of the public school across. The employees even said if we don't get called by 6 PM, even if we waited 3 hours, we will still not be able to use the Groupon. Thankfully, we made it before that. This location only has 35 lanes which sounds like a lot but it's only one row which means the Mineola one prob has double or triple the amount. At one point when it got cold outside, we came inside and just watched people play claw machines. The big one near the entrance is about $5 per swipe and people play like 10x without getting any prizes but it was very entertaining. When we got our lane and our bowling shoes, we went to our lane which only had 4 chairs and a small table. The party at the next lane had 10 people and kept coming over to our side. Never knew you can have 10 people in a lane before! We had 6 on ours. As for bowling balls, there's no extra hanging around in racks behind us. It's just whatevers on the lanes already so we had to go to other people's lanes to see if they needed that particular weight/size to grab them. After the 3 hours we were waiting, we were so thirsty so we went up to the bar to ask for a pitcher of water. No one ever came with a pitcher of water. We had 4 different people ask after waiting awhile in between. Then, finally we gave in and ordered a pitcher of Blue Moon beer for about $30. It was cold and light which I liked. The restroom was never crowded surprisingly for the amount of people in the facility. There were about 4 stalls and 2 sinks. As for parking, the parking lot in front was always packed and people still drive in to look for parking. There's very few spots and sort of narrow with a lot of foot traffic. I prefer parking under or on the side of the bridge. All in all, bowling was fun - I always break a nail but the waiting and crowd was not. Will definitely stick with Bowlero Mineola next time.

If you're going bowling in Queens, keep reading -- especially if Bowlero is on your list. I recently stopped by Bowlero Queens in person to inquire about pricing and party packages. The manager on-site was helpful, handed me a printed flyer with detailed pricing, and directed me to call a number to make the reservation. Enter Nikky from corporate. From the moment she answered the phone, it felt less like hospitality and more like a customer service crash course gone wrong. When I asked to book the package I had in hand, Nikky quickly informed me that the prices I received -- from their own staff, mind you -- were "outdated" and said, and I quote: "I am NOT going to honor that price." No apology, no offer to meet in the middle. Just a hard no. This wasn't about asking for a discount or a handout -- I simply wanted to be charged what I was told. To make things worse, before even sharing the new (and significantly higher) pricing, Nikky insisted on collecting my cell number and email, saying she couldn't give me a quote without it. So let me get this straight -- you won't honor your company's own printed material, but you will gatekeep prices unless I give up my data? It felt less like hospitality and more like corporate clickbait. Oh -- and the new rate Nikky was quoting? Nearly double what the flyer said. I had 12 guests lined up and was ready to book on the spot. I declined and ended the call. Five minutes later, Nikky called me back and dared to question me if I had gone to the "right location".. well the manager gave me YOUR phone number so you tell me.. She claimed she spoke to the manager and asked me to send a photo of the flyer I had. Naturally, I refused -- she had already made it clear she wouldn't honor it. I told her I'd post it here on Yelp instead. Her tone? Unfazed. To top it off, they charge a 21% reservation fee, whether you book online or by phone -- and that's before the mandatory tip at the venue and taxes! So if you're looking for a smoother, more transparent experience, take my advice and head to Bowl 360 in Astoria. Better pricing, easier parking, and no corporate runaround.

Place is fun! Definitely a great date night! At least after being tipsy lol. The drinks are good here but too sweet for me. I haven't had the food The prices for the game were decent, not too expensive. However the music is great, a fun mix of genres.

Had a great time. Perfect place to take your kids or young ones.. 2 hours was filled with competitivw game very nice staff specially virginita

We had our birthday here. It was a nice experience. We got the package with unlimited two free app and soft drinks for two hours. Our host was lovely and attentive. We didn't have any complaints besides the commotion going on in the parking lot. It's not bowlero fault, but we hope that it can be avoided for safety purposes. Other than that we recommend having your birthday here!

Took my two nephews and son for a round of bowling on a Saturday afternoon. The place was packed but we played in the tiny arcade space for about 10 min before we were assigned our lanes. They have a great ambiance , good enough food and drinks. The only complaint Is the small space to sit per lane it's very tight if you have more than 4 people. Other than that love the vibe here short walk to the 7 train they do have a small parking lot if you are driving. Prices are decent and they do run specials place was clean

My family and i had a wondeful experience at my stay at bowlero queens in woodside... my server was kyu and he took very good care of us, highly recommended and will definitely come again.. thank you!

This place was amazing, the food was delicious. The play took my mind of my working days. I truly recommend the chicken wings and the strawberry lemonade.

Came for a birthday party and had a blast. The place felt new and was so clean. George was an impecable server! Very attentive and kind. Will definitely be back!

First time going to this location. It's a nice bowling alley with lots of lanes and an arcade. They serve food and drinks which is amazing.. It was pretty packed for a Sunday evening, but still had great service from the staff.

I've never been to a bowling alley that has projection screens at the front of the alley. Fun! Got to watch a little basketball or whatever else was on. Nice lighting in the place. Paid $15 for one round. A little pricy but still fun. I bowled a 155. We had one weird mess up with the pins but they quickly resolved it. Feel that happens at least once at every alley. Nice service. Fun arcade games that we enjoyed before while we were waiting. They quickly found a spot for us which was appreciated. Great spot!

Got a Groupon for two hours for 6 including shoes. I forget how much I paid but I remember it being a pretty good deal. It was packed when we came but checking in was easy and they would take your number to text you once the lane is ready. In the meantime, my group and I checked out their arcade games and the offerings at the bar. It was a great experience! Very seamless with shoe rentals and ordering food and drinks. Will definitely be back.

If you're looking for a fun spot to bowl in queens I feel like this is a good option. I haven't bowled in a few years but I liked how there was options for food and drinks and also an arcade. The food was good for casual food options and the cookie skillet was actually my favorite (I have a major sweet tooth). I will have to say that it was a little pricy and they didn't let us pay for each game and made us purchase a package that was 3 bowling games and included some credits for the arcade so I wish they would let you pay per game compared to having to pay for all 3. If you do purchase a Groupon you have to purchase it more than 24 hours in advance or they won't let you use it if you purchase it on the spot as well.

Went to Woodside Bowlero with my wife with a 2 hour Groupon. They sandwiched us in a lane between 2 kid parties where kids were constantly in our lane and screaming. To make matters worse, these are the most dry and un-oiled lanes I've ever bowled on. Seems like they place Groupons on the worst lanes even though there were plenty of empty lanes away from the parties. I would stay away from Woodside Bowlero and go to any other bowling alley.

Great place for date night, wings were good and the drinks were good as well. Our server Noris was attentive and great as well. Will definitely be back with the kids.

Wow me and my husband took our kids bowling since we live a block away and we've had always come here on the regular which we always enjoy coming but besides that when we come every server we've had never has been attentive how usually it's supposed to be but when we came on Monday I guess they've hired new people and this is the reason for this review you guys hired THE BEST SERVER WE'VE EVER HAD ME AND MY HUSBAND agreed on this we've even wrote her a little message on her receipt of how amazing she treated me and my family her name is Charlene I remember her name she has blue hair you guys (Bowlero) she's amazing and I noticed she enjoys serving genuinely everytime we come I would be asking for her GREAT EMPLOYEE YOU GUYS HAVE the other servers should take notes I don't do reviews but she's worth it SHES A KEEPER

I was last here when this place was operating under the name AMF Lanes. It looks like they have received a slight renovation under new owners. However, they have also raised their prices a little. It is now about $7.50 per person per game if you go before 7pm, or $9.25 per person per game after 7pm. A few games and food and drinks can certainly run a hefty tab. Regardless, this is still a nice bowling alley and they make some nice drinks. Food was decent American/Mexican selections. On their website, it shows a Monday and Wednesday night special of $17.89 per person for unlimited bowling after 7pm! I would try to hit this place up only at those times.

I came here on a Saturday afternoon. This place was packed with parties. But the wait wasn't bad for a lane. Unfortunately, they werent able to give an estimate time for an open lane. So, you'll need to hang around the bowling area since you got 5 minutes to claim your spot once they send you a text. The place was really clean but the air con and fan on at the same time made it chilly! I would come back here on a weekday instead since the kids basically from the parties always ended up in your lane which was annoying. Wished staff would say something to them. You would be walking to throw your ball and a kid would pop out behind you on your lane which definitely would've caused an accident. Overall, it's not a bad place

This location was awesome. EM was a great help. He explained the prices and setup the lanes so the kids could have a great time. Food came quick and the kids enjoyed it. Drinks for the adults helped.

An amazing spot for gathering with family and friends! Had a great time bowling and enjoying delicious food!

Here's another quarantine find thanks to my friend, we had rsvp for 7pm on a Friday u get a 2 hour time slot. Once we arrived & got settled started w some drinks gave the Mule a try not bad decent taste & alcohol wise. Food we had Chicken wings very good w the garlic sauce , Cheese bread not bad at all. The Cauliflower poppers were surprisingly tasty great w the dipping sauces. Also had both Chicken & Steak quesadillas both were good. Once settled we enjoyed our time bowling , service was decent they brought out our food & checked on us periodically. Decent looking place , social distancing in place as best as possible , none of the games are currently working at the moment, good atmosphere & music playing we enjoyed ourselves it was a good way to spend 2 hours of your time.

Awesome soo cute and clean. We went for a birthday party and we had a blast. Will go again.

Excellent place to hangout with friends and families. Wide range of arcade game collection with bowling Great for groups and parties. They've various offers throughout the days and weeks, check their website. It'll be better if you take online reservation earlier. Foods are mouthwatering . Wide range of drinks including cocktails & shakes. Kids and family friendly. Clean restrooms. Huge parking lots. Highly recommended

Bowlero Queens is a great spot for a fun night out. The atmosphere is lively, the service is friendly, and the food is tasty. Highly recommend for a good time!

Excellent services, excellent workers, very clean, would recommend this to families and friends!

Had a great time bowling with friends. Great spot. Franklin was the the best waiter! He was attentive, helpful and very kind.

- dope party spot - I heard the adult parties are doper, and they provide all inclusive packages You'll have to inquire within on that one - it was hot that we got an extra hour for guests who didn't show - I love how you can watch the sports games - the Buffalo wings, chicken tenders, tater tots and variety of sauces, were all delicious - the staff is outstanding and helpful - they gave us video game cards that kept the kids occupied another two hours - only negative parts were messed up atm and there's really not an efficient system for combining credits on cards But those aren't major problems or anything - I'm vastly impressed that the great time we had, far exceeded expectations - book your next kid or adult party here! - no, this review was not paid for.

I would give it a higher star rating, but the staff and the mismanagement brought the rating down. I was very disappointed by it all. I'm glad that we reserved a lane for 2.5 hours or who knows how long we would be waiting around, but just the fact that we were right by kids at a birthday party with inconsiderate guardians wasn't so great. The kids were running around like it was a playground. Had to watch out before you get ready to bowl or finish bowling. Also the fact that these kids would throw random gutter balls down our lane wasn't funny at all. At first it was cute, but then it got downright annoying. We spoke to the people helping out and the guardians, but they were of no help. Maybe next time there can be a way to separate kid parties to one side, and non kid parties on the other side. Actually have management that care about their patrons. There should be small print saying make sure to watch your children so they are courteous to other guests instead of running around unsupervised! Our server was no where to be found until it came to us going to her or her giving us the bill. I did see her at the restroom gossiping and spending time with other servers. I know you have to do your business, but at least be courteous about it and return at a decent time instead of gossiping and dissing the job you are doing. Maybe a training should be done on what to or not to do at this establishment!

Love this bowling alley! Always a good time and great customer service! I also couldn't believe how hot their wings were and good their cheesy bread was! Even their Rose wine was good! They catered to my boyfriends bday and he loved it! Can't wait come again!

Jacky was an amazing host here at the bowling alley. Very informative, willing to help and answer all the questions I had !!! I'm definitely returning ! I love this bowling alley !

Great bowling alley, have tons of fun! I highly recommend going here and I love the Summer Pass. Em is super helpful with getting me set up.

Bowlero summer games is the best deal. The staff is very friendly and amazing. Emory's always smiling when I come in to bowl and is also very friendly and acomodating. He makes me feel welcome when I come one in. So make your way over to stay nice and cool in the summer!

Nice establishment in Woodside, Queens. We threw a party here for my 4 year old on a Saturday afternoon. There were many other birthday parties going on that day. We booked three lanes with a meal package for a little under $1k. They have a nicely sized arcade when you walk in. Our package came with a couple of bucks on game cards for each kid. They tossed in a couple of extra ones as well. There were enough game varieties to break up the monotony of bowling for the kids. The lanes were clean and well kept. The large projector screens created a pretty cools bowling atmosphere with cartoons and sports playing. Kid friendly bumpers and rolling ramps available on request. Service was terrific. A "HBD (Kids name)" was set up on a stand on arrival. Pizza was pretty terrible. Veggies and dip platter pretty basic. Sliders were okay. Fries and chicken fingers pretty good. They did a good job with cocktails. Overall, excellent birthday experience. I recommend for anyone looking to celebrate an occasion without much hassle in elaborate planning.

First time visiting here with my family. We had such a good time! It was pretty packed but Tafadzewa, the operations manager, was super sweet and made sure we had everything we needed. Thanks so much Taf!! I'll be coming back because of you!

We always enjoy coming to this place. They have drinks for adults and snacks for adults and kids. The bowling is extremely fun especially if you go on glow in the dark Night. I definitely recommend when they go for glow in the dark Knight. This as extra excitement to the experience. Definitely will be returning back to this bowling alley.

Enjoyed my recent visit here. They upgraded since the last time I was here. Probably 10 years since I last set foot here. They used to have my high school bowling meets here. Bring me back to the old times. So excited to be back. They have arcade games available which was fun. I didn't get to try the food and drinks but will check it out in the future.

this man hangs out in this club and he would spik your drink when you are not looking

Just had my son's birthday party there and it was great! The booking process was seamless. Everything was set up nicely when we arrived. We had three lanes, a table set up for the cake and gifts, and an area for the food. I'd definitely book an event with them again!

first time here, service was great! Caroline was our server and food came out right away ! Drinks were good Deff recommend coming here!

Love this place Rosana the bar tender was amazing would def recommend it if you are in the area

Rosanna I hope I'm spelling it right, first time here and so far the atmosphere is fantastic.

The whole staff was amazing as the food was also good. Em took care of us and made sure we had a good time all around as I will definitely be coming back.

This place could've had a 5 but their customer service for the food server was really bad. This bowling alley has a small tight parking lot. Almost everyday of the week there is a deal. The venue is clean and spacious. They also have a small arcade . We ordered the alley sampler which included: wings, fried pickles, cheese nachos, chicken tenders and three sauces. Also I'm greedy and got fries. The food was good. The service was terrible trying to get a server went to the front desk twice and it took the server over an hour to come to us. Will definitely come back to this venue.

Today was such a great experience with an amazing service, will come back again!!

I remember coming here pretty often back when this was under a different name. It was a nice fun night out in the neighborhood. It was a very simple no frills place to bowl. After being taken over by Bowlmor, I thought it would have gotten some upgrades. After purchasing a Groupon, we went on a Tuesday evening around 6pm. It wasn't very crowded, which I did like. They did add a few more arcade games, but otherwise, everything was more or less the same. When I got to the front desk, the woman asked if I'd purchased a Groupon as I was hanging her my phone, to which I said yes. She went on to ask when I'd purchased, to which I replied "a little while back". She then decided to go on about how Groupons can't be used if they were just purchased recently (the genius didn't even know it was a 24 hour period, so I'm not really sure why she was spouting Groupon rules in the first place without having the correct information). Again, I repeated that I'd purchased the Groupon a while back so that's clearly not going to be an issue. Also, instead of having this entire exchange, she could have simply scanned the Groupon to which it would either have worked or not, but okay. Waste both our time, I guess. We were assigned a lane next to a group that was pretty full. They had about 5 or 6 people so it seemed a little silly to put us right on top of them like that when the whole alley was pretty empty. For taking such a long time to "assign a lane" this seemed like a silly oversight. Once we went to our lane, the other group didn't even have enough seats for their group on their side. Again, it was still pretty no frills. There's a QR code that you scan at the lane and can order food/drinks from. The prices are alright, but I'd argue a bit pricier than I'd expect at such a basic place for such basic (and not great) food in queens. The checkout on the app was glitchy so we wasted a good 20minutes trying to order before having to go get a server anyway. I both showed her the order from my phone and verbally read everything out to her. She didn't write anything down and left. I already had a bad feeling about that. When the drinks came - only one drink was brought to us. I assumed this was because the watermelon wasn't alcoholic so I waited. Then the food came out and I asked about my drink to which the waitress had two conflicting replies. First she pointed at my husband and said "oh I asked him if you wanted two of those" - which made no sense since she hadn't spoken to him aside from when he went to grab her to help us order. He didn't even tell her his order so that was weird. Then she said "I didn't hear you order the LIT". Okay, so this is why we write things down if we can't remember them and also, not only did I say what the order was, I ran through it on my phone with her as well. Okay, things happen but that was a little annoying for me because I really didn't need a whole story, I just needed you to 1. Get the order right or 2. Just bring me the drink. Again, more unnecessary exchange. I ordered a Long Island iced tea and my husband got a watermelon guzzler. For food, I ordered the boneless wings (garlic parmesan) with fries and he got the spicy chicken sandwich with fries. The food was SO disappointing. The "boneless wings" were beyond overdone. They were just hard. Not crunchy, hard. They were overly salty and honestly - they looked like the crumbs at the bottom of the bag when you have just scraps left of a frozen bag of food. The chicken sandwich was super plain and very small. The total, after ordering one additional drink each was $66.80. I think that's a bit much for what the place was. If I was at Dave and Buster's or Bowlmor in the city - okay fine. But here? And with the sad looking food? Not worth it. If you're going bowling here, I'd highly recommend planning to have a nice meal somewhere else in the neighborhood. There are some great restaurants in Woodside and Astoria. You'll be happier and fuller and feel better about spending $60+.

I enjoy coming to this bowling alley. This was my second time here with a group. They are very good at accommodating a large crowd and running separate dining tabs. This bowling alley has a small arcade area, bar, and dining section. They have a pretty good menu. I love the buffalo wings. Others in my group really enjoyed the chicken sandwich. They also have a full bar - I usually stick to the Large Marg. Bowling here is fun filled and not competitive. All of the groups are in their own zone. Just be mindful of maintaining your space at the alley. The bathrooms are clean and the servers are friendly.

Full disclosure, we went with a Groupon, so we weren't paying full price, but who can really afford to? The facility was mostly empty and we were put on an alley that literally slanted. We could see the tilt in the lane. It was also so hot in the building we were sweating and left after 1 hour, instead of 2. I could have gotten drinks to cool off, but there were fruit flies all around the bar. Unfortunate & I can't imagine going back.

Walked in on a Friday with no expectations and was just simply amazed with the atmosphere. They had a DJ playing incredible tunes and the guest service was amazing. I was greeted with friendly faces and was taken care of throughout the night. Our server made sure all our needs were met and definitely plan on coming back again!!
