LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE!! Food is good and staff are friendly. Love the refurbished old bowling equipment made into tables and lights!

This place is sort of middle of the road. Just your typical bowling center. We were their for a tournament and it seemed a little claustrophobic for my taste. But over all not a bad place if you live close by and need a place to bowl.

Nice place to hang out with friends for a night, or family fun and games. Nice spot to go since the virus came along.

Great place for large or small groups. Concession stand and a large variety of foods. Arcade, laser tag and full restaurant/bar on premises. Clean restrooms.

My daughters soccer team had their Christmas Party here. They had a blast. They did the 1hr bowl and 1hr laser tag split and it was very affordable. The food at the restuarant that is connected to the bowling alley was very good. A few areas of the building could use some updating, especially by the laser storm (laser tag)area. All in all it was a fun affordable night out.

The bowling is always fun. Been going for years. The new bar The 11th Frame is great. They restored the old bar to the kicking new one. Music for everyone. Sometimes a DJ or a live band. Cyber bowling is always cool for all alike. But you can still bowl regular if the bright lights arent your fancy.

The oven caught fire as I was bowling. The pizza actually came out to be pretty good. Good lanes.

Great spot for local fun, and the new additions are awesome. The 11th Frame Bar is a great hangout spot as well. We frequent the bowlaway both with our kids and with our adult friends. Great spot!

Had a blast w/ the family. 6 of us, it was affordable, clean, modern tech, the staff was helpful, the other bowlers were friendly and respectable. The balls were kind of old though...We will go back.

Super fun. Me and 3 friends went for glow in the dark bowling and was great! People were super nice and was fun aside for a 15 min delay with a messed up lane. But was still fun

Drinks were strong which was great but didnt care for the bartender. Needs some hospitality in her life. Considering half of us are from the hospitality field tonight.

This place is entertaining! If you decide to participate in bowling championships, you should practice here! Just pick your shoe size, have fun, choose your bowling lane, choose your bowling ball, and the bowling balls have all different varieties of weight and cool colours! Enjoy your time here because youll love it!

Review №26

Did not calculate the scores correctly in most of the frames of two games we played. Even after the staff suggested we move to another lane for our second game and turn off glow mode, it still didnt work.Staff was friendly, but the technical issues were too much us and we had to leave. Was not an enjoyable experience and still ended up having to pay for the games minus the glow mode cost.

Special needs are treated with the utmost respect! Staff is very friendly and helpful.

Review №28

The staff always have attitudes and it’s cheaper at Sherwood lanes. I rather pay 40 to get a lane that includes shoes and drinks that are cheaper then pay double that at family bowlway. They also like to tell you two different things when you call. I had a boot on and I called to see if I could bowl and they said yes but when I got there they told me I couldn’t so I had to argue and they told me they would let me slide this time. 2 times we had issues here.

Fun time. Cosmic/black light bowling available anytime. Balls kept getting stuck which wasted some time of our hour long free play, but they said they are in the process of updating all of their equipment. Will be back when I am in the area.

Review №31

Great place to bowl. The prices are reasonable and theres plenty of parking. A good place to bring the family. Staff was friendly and they have great food and drinks. There is also a bar attatched; whats better than a night of bowling and a couple beers with friends? They have an arcade too so theres something the kids could do if they prefer not to bowl.

Review №32

A very large family friendly bowling alley with 28 lanes. Went with a few friends on a weekday after they opened and had no wait time. They have friendly staff, good lanes and good equipment. Will be back.

Had a great time at a reasonable price. Only issue was the lane the kids were on was in blackout quite a bit. They gave us a free game to make up for it. The lounge is also top notch with all the beers on tap and some excellent bar tenders

Review №39

So much fun! Laser tag, arcade. Bowling, full service bar and restaurant. Highly recommend going here. Gets busy on the weekend nights. But typically you can still find a lane or seat. My kids could spend an entire Friday night here with friends and its safe enough to let the run around while you relax and watch them from a distance.

I was at the bar there on Saturday evening and it was ok. The bar was busy which is great but the bartenders were slow. Very nice just slow. The bathrooms had no toilet paper which was uncomfortable. The crowd was a little to wild for me I probably wont be back often.

This is a great place to bring the family for some quality time. There are games, bowling, and laser tag. Eat before or after your visit. They do have a large selection of food, but it is super expensive. Dont get the fountain drinks, they have a funny taste to them. Overall, you will spend a reasonable amount to have fun, but if you eat, you will spend a small fortune. I spent $35 for myself and a 7 year old to eat.

Terrible customer service today (2/23/19) when trying to bowl with my family. We could not have felt less welcome. All three staff members that helped us seemed very inconvenienced by our presence. I would not have to go back.

Review №83

The staff sucks and they are two faced.. never will I recommend such a place.. watch your necks they tend to grab you by them for no reason even the police think so.. childish place of business for childish so called adults. If I could give a negative rating I would. Ill stick to rock Anns where the beer is cold and the company is welcoming.. shape up bowlaway take a lesson from a real bar or stick to strictly bowling

Review №89

The place is nice enough, but you can tell it hasnt been updated in a while. The working of the touchscreen was atrocious & the animations they had after strikes/spares reminded me of clippy the paperclip from the 90s Microsoft word...And the ramp they gave to our son to use was actually crooked so it was hard to aim.

Was NEVER aware they closed early depending on business. Was told its on the website by a worker here but i dont see it anywhere so i guess Im blind. Its on their sign on the door. But my children n i walked a mile to get here even before 10 and would still not let us in. We could have bowled one game in 15 min. Said people were finishing up their games. It is now 11pm and there are still people walking out. So why could we not bowl a game?! Extremely disappointed!!!!

A great place to spend a few hours with offerings for the whole family.The bowling alley portion is a well run alley, staff is friendly and the space is clean. They offer different bowling specials across the week including cosmic bowling.The laser tag portion is your standard smaller space Lazer tag.The 11th frame is in my opinion one of the nicest bars around. It is well kept, has a separate smoking section, a large selection of beers on draft, and events that change across the week such as trivia, karaoke, and DJs as well as live music.Overall a great place to spend some time.
