We enjoy this bowling alley. For some reason they start cosmic bowling at 3 or 4 in the afternoon, which is weird to me. The lanes were in good condition and the pitchers of beer are reasonably priced.

They wouldn’t give us two lanes (bumper for kids and another without) because they claimed they were too crowded. That’s fine except the whole time we were there half the lanes were shut down. Guess their waiting for the hypothetical customer. Next time we’ll go across town.

Went bowling last night and when we got there they said they were closing at 11pm. But when I showed the gentleman at the counter that the website it said midnight he stayed open the extra hour. My family has a wonderful time. Thanks for a great experience.

At 11am I asked for a pitcher of beer for me and the other husbands waiting for their wives. A few minutes later I was told they are not serving beer, ok no problem...10min later I see the same guy carrying two pitchers down the stairs to another table...its not about the beer, I just like being lied too..I will never go this establishment again.

It doesnt look like much from the outside but inside is nice and updated, good facility, lots of lanes. Theres a food stall inside that has decent fare from what Im told, and its very family friendly.

Review №14

It is very clean and well kept and the staff were very nice and helpful but it seemed extremely pricey for 3 people to Bowl 2 games was almost 70 dollars for a average working man thats expensive, especially when bowling is a average working mans sport i just think its sad that family activities cost so much these days. But with that said it was still a fun experience....

Got there pretty late. Had great time! Good music and everyone in the alley seemed like they were having fun!

The atmosphere is fun, however the music can be too loud. Regardless, I always enjoy my time at this community jewel.

Amazing service, they brought pitchers of water around to the tables. Very clean and smells nice a good place to take a family or even for adults who dont like stinky sketch bowling alleys. Very nice place

It has a great atmosphere and even open on the 4th of July; Thank you.

Decent facility, but they are scam artist! I could either request one game, or unlimited games up front for a few dollars difference per person. They acted like its no problem if I go over the one game I chose. The guy said 1 game should last about an hour, so I figured on a school night, thats fine. Well we finished the first game in no time, and my son was having fun, so we ended up playing 3 games in just over an hour! Went to check out and they charged every game, even after I said what happened to the unlimited deal!? So ended up paying 150% more than I expected for one hour of entertainment! So either request for the unlimited deal, or just go to Lazer Lanes.

Birthday Party level of experience, extra great Bowling Alley, seating right up to players, too old. Thanks

Getting a lane before 9pm on Tuesday is challenging if wanting to bowl around 8pm, but it is always worth the wait.

Review №24

Prices seem high for the area, but the bowling ally is nice, dosent look great from the outside but I was impressed by the inside

Ru
Review №25

Prices keep going up, not sure Lanes and equipment are following lobby and seating area upgrades. Only worth the money for league

For Bowling alleys alleys I must say I take pride in this Bowling Alley.. If you ever want the best food in town (burgers wings drinks etc) try here.. Good food, happy people and loud noises to assure youll put the phone down and focus on the chili cheese fries and shots of apple crown.. Its like the makings of a nascar race kind of crowd with lazer lights balloons and bubbles ! Oh and the new video games are wonderful, Ive never seen a offshore raceboat game like it anywhere! Live laugh and go Bowlan! I know sometimes you need to bore out all three of tour holes or maybe even fill it up and drill all three holes alittle deeper alittle wider, I know.they take pride in the way they service your balls and do what they can to keep you coming back for all of your needs! Sorry for my mind being in tge gutter again

Nice lans and full bar with beers on draft and bottle . Went on Friday night at 8pm and go a lane with no wait. Will be coming back. Place is clean and lanes are like brand new. Grace is very nice and helpful. The manager, she was also very friendly and all the staff have been extremely helpful especially when it came to joining leagues. Thank you all if you see this.

Its not as crowded as it used to be. It was a Friday night that I was there and I did the 9:45 to 1 a.m. bowling for $18, and there wasnt any kind of wait or big line and there were even a couple Lanes unoccupied. The employees are pretty chill and laid back. It was me my girlfriend and my friend and his girlfriend, and we all had a really good time. The only downside is the price of food or drinks there is is the equivalent to the price have food and drinks at like a major league baseball game. We bought a medium soda and it cost us $4. But they do give free refills.. :)

Used for bowling, air hockey, birthday parties, and youth bowling league. So glad they have stayed open. One of the last independent activities to do with the kids.

We went here for Special Olympics bowling. The staff are so friendly and really work hard to accommodate all of our needs.

Review №34

Staff seemed to work earnestly to serve customers. Arrangement of tables and chairs around lanes has gotten somewhat messy, making it harder for a group to be together while bowling. Traditional semicircles benches would be preferable. Equipment worked well. The game area has been recently updated.

Nice lanes. Wheel chair accessable.

Review №36

I wish there was room for no stars. The bald guy in charge with no name tag was rude for no reason and shouldnt be allowed to work in the service industry. This rude attitude towards paying customers is in called for. Will not recommend this place even to my enemies.

Nice bowling alley with a decent sized arcade. Only loses a star due to the very expensive food. Most bowling alleys here are like 3-5 dollars cheaper to eat at than this one. To its credit though, the food is very good. They also have a very nice selection.

Great fun, prices drop down 4 stars. 4 people bowling one round was approx $60. Ouch but it was still a great time!

Review №43

AMF, for bowling, pays by the game not by hour. For one game with two people it was almost $30 without food or drinks or the arcade. The game only lasted 20-25 minutes.

A excellent time but a little pricey if you dont have your own shoes and balls,orvif its not on a promotional night.

Review №52

Good prices if you go on nights that have special deals, and they have a full bar. Not the cleanest establishment, but definitely a good spot to have a good time with friends.

Review №53

If I could do less than a star I would. I came in a group of 6 people. When my group and I were paying Sony, the worker, was extremely rude to us. Said multiple snide comments, and pretty much pissed my whole group off. They advertise $6.29 to bowl 8-close. Sony told us that wasn’t possible so we settled to bowl for $20 each unlimited for 2 hours. The lanes constantly broke when we were bowling, didn’t add the score right, and they didn’t let us finish our last game because our two hours were up. We were in the last frame. So overall, as long as Sony works there, and they don’t own up to their advertisements, we won’t be returning.

Great bowling alley with affordable prices and great customer service. Several years in a row we celebrated New Years Eve here with my group of friends, and it was always a great time with great memories. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a good, fun, wholesome activity with family or friends.

They have lots of deals on bowling, food, and drinks depending on the day, which is why I went. They organize their balls nicely. Didn’t seem to have a great selection of food.

Review №57

We had a nice time on our bowling outing. They had ramps so our 4 year old could play too. The food and drinks are extremely overpriced, but overall its cheaper than lazer lanes because you dont have to pay for the kids to do all that other stuff too.

Review №69

The website said they had $2.50 games on Sunday. I went up there around 1 o’clock. The guy at the counter said that doesn’t start until six. I said I’m sorry I didn’t see that on the website taking blame for miss reading the ad. He then snapped back “well it’s on there!” I wasn’t challenging him. I was acknowledging I may have missed read the ad. I left and came back at six. I walked up to the counter and found out they only had four lanes open at that price because the rest of the alley is full of leagues. Those four lanes are already reserved for people already bowling on them. I asked the person working who was different this time why they advertise a special when they don’t have any lanes available and she was really rude back. I completely understand that league play is what keeps bowling Alleys open but I wouldn’t have gone up there if I knew there was only four lanes and at the earlier time the person at the counter said nothing about it.

Lots of fun but not cheap...there are many ways to save. Look for cupons. All in all well worth the money. Special black light and music on Sat nights...spool fun!!

Only Bowling center in Columbia, MO. Fun, family friendly entertainment in 32 lane facility. There are leagues year round as well as open bowling. Call ahead and reserve a lane, bring some coupons. There is food & bar and an arcade area.

Review №78

The drinks are overpriced, the bowling prices have been going up, and the music didnt work for four months. The bartender is the worst I have ever experienced. She was slow, talked to her friends, and ignored customers. This place has been going downhill for a while. If you can get a Groupon, it could be an okay time.

I dont bowl often but when I get the itch I know I want to find a place that is fun all around and has good atmoshpere. AMF Town & Country Lanes is a great place for everyone from beginners to your weekly leauge. The staff is friendly which isnt what I had come to expect from a bowlling alley. They are helpfull and really make the entire process a pleasure. I always go with a group and Ive never felt rushed or pressure to get a move on. They even set up deal and specials to help get you excited for bowling again. Seriously do I need to keep going on about how you will enjoy this experience? Go there, bowling a couple games and see that this is the place to be.

Review №90

Not impressed. I was suprised shoe rental and games were more expensive than Ive ever paid at a bowling alley. We decided to go anyways. Once there the computer froze while trying to input our names to set up our game. We went to the front desk to ask for help and nobody was there. We decided to turn in our shoes and go elsewhere. On a Saturday afternoon the place was deserted. This place looks like a dying business.

As the only bowling alley thats decent (Lazer Lanes is the other), its ok as a bowling alley and better than Lazer Lanes for bowling. Bit dated, despite how theyve redone some of the interior to be better, . Typical bar food after that, along with overpriced drinks & food.
