This is a great family friendly bowling alley. The service is great, the food is delicious and the bowling is affordable. They have a nice selection of bowling balls and the pinsetters havent malfunctioned once in the 3 times Ive been there. Highly recommend!
Girl working as a bartender was absolutely rude from the getgo. When arriving inside she was at the front desk and asked a question about a coupon and her answer was I dont know and carried on with DRAWING on a board, didnt even look up to acknowledge us. Then when at the bar, handed her 3 ID cards to purchase a pitcher of beer since 3 people were drinking out of the pitcher, thus needing 3 cups and her response when handing the cards was which one of these is not fake?. Why even say that with a monotone voice and no smile. Ive worked in customer service for years and have never treated any customers this way, even when having a bad day. Other than a rude bartender, bowling was fun.
Probably the nicest place to bowl in Manhattan!! They have pool tables too. LOVE IT!Great food too, and a cute bar
Lanes are well taken care of. Never had a stuck ball. Balls never came back chipped. Pin setters worked perfectly. Staff is very nice and service was fast.
Had lots of fun and they were accommodating to our last minute birthday party.
Staff is great. They are friendly and make you feel welcome.
Great fun. Thursdays are the best days to go. Shoes, games, hot dogs, drinks, are all $1.00 apiece.
Ive visited this bowling alley multiple times and every time its a nice experience. the staff is very friendly and always willing to help. The business is very well kept and family friendly. 4/5 will visit again.
I dont know if its just me but I feel like it was very expensive. Just for our family of 4 to play 1 game it was almost $40. I havent been bowling in years so I dont know maybe thats a fair price. The place itself was great no complaints there.
Not enough help, poor gal was ru ming all over the place for everyone
Had a great time with the grand kids
Great little place, with great deal several times a week! Its clean. And it even has billiards downstairs! My one and only complaint, and this is the same in most places, they dont allow outside food or drinks; which is seriously a bummer because I love Little Cesars pizza and I would have loved to eat it while we bowled.
Our first time there. Helpful staff, clean facilities, good snack and beverage selection. We had a good time. Would definitely go back.
Great atmosphere and easy to use system. The cosmic bowling is a lot of fun, too!
Good food good environment
We went on a Sunday for 2.00 dollar bowling day. Every game was 2.00 each. My family and I had a great time. The bowling alley was clean and we ordered yummy fried foods from the snack bar and they were hot fresh and fast. If you are looking for something fun for you and the whole family to do we recommend it and they run a ton of specials for all budgets!
It was awesome that place has good food and good bowling lanes
Place is just awful. We started to bowl on lane 9 and after a little while we noticed the system was not keeping the scores right. So one of us we to the front desk and informed the guy at the counter. He just said ”oh its because of the lights”. So we tried fixing it ourselves by resetting the scores, change peoples order around, restarting the game, etc. We was not able to get to keep our scores properly. So another one of us we to see if we could change lanes. They switched us to lane 8 for us to find out it was even worst than lane 9. Not only did it keep incorrect scores but it kept on messing up the order we were suppose to bowl in. So we just gave up and wanted our money back. The guy at the counter said we was a hour and a half into our session and only have 30 minutes and would not refund us. That hour and a half was not spent bowling it was spent trying to bowl. The pac man machine stole my quarters, the French vanilla was watered down and disgusting, downs stairs is hot and stuffy also the mens urinal doesnt flush, the first pair of shoes given to me were torn and I could not tie my shoes properly, there is only one blue chalk thats failing apart for the whole pool room. I highly recommend avoiding this place.
Nice place to bowl. The hamburgers were honestly some of the best I had in a long time. I ordered 4 to go, to take home to the family when my friends and I were done bowling.
Best bowling alley ive been too. Cheaf af. Alright bowls. Good drinks. Good pizza
Had a great time with family from out of state. Little apple Lanes accepted in online coupon
Great place to hang out! We came from Houston to see my son and daughter in law played great hospitality
Love this place! And they support our local schools, Lance, their manager was awesome to work with and gave our middle school kiddos a great experience when we went last week.
Not busy and brings back memories in bowling as a kid!
Friendly staff and a good place to hangout during the weeks. They have a pool table downstairs as well. The bowling balls are not the best, but still good!
Clean, friendly and the gentlemen who works in the pro shop is amazing. I apologize I forgot his name, he did a superb job and understood things when I didnt. Would definitely recommend.
Loved it. Found out they have various nights with deals. Cant remember for sure what days, but dollar days, where shoes/games are a dollar and other days where you can bowl for several hours for $5 including shoes, unlimited. We bowled for 2 hours with 8 people, and were able to bowl 2 games each for a flat rate price of $50. Including tax, it was just under $7/person, including shoes--great deal!
Very polite. Bar staff was great. Front desk gal was great. Took our 3 grandchildren and the staff was very accommodating in helping us since the kids range in age from 3 to 8.First time here and we will be back! Thank You to the staff!
Easy to get to. Decent prices. Clean and lanes are will maintained. Staff is attentive and professional. Great for kids and adults alike. They have food and adult beverages. Highly recommend
Friendly staff, great bar
As far as bowling alleys in Manhattan Kansas go, this one probably comes in at second place in almost every aspect. I will be comparing this bowling alley to the one at the Kansas State Student Union. The balls at Little Apple Lanes are very unorganized which makes it almost impossible to find one that suits your fingers and weight. The shoes dont fit particularly well and it threw me off a couple of times while I was bowling. The one thing that this alley does better than the Student Union is the staff customer interactions.
Great little bowling alley. Lanes are really nice and well taken care of. They even have some dedicated glow bowl lanes.
This place is a lot of fun for $1 night. Its always packed because of league but non-league lanes cycle through often. Its good for everyone of varying skill levels. Jerry is a sweet man whos been there for ages and will do what he can to resolve any issue you might have.
The worst lanes ever.We came all the way from colorado to celebrate a friends birthday and have some fun.The pins are getting stuck and the lane was stuck like 5 times. The person who is supposedly an assistant manager (Bailey) ran behind the pins and placed them manually and reset the lanes manually every single time.By that time everyone lost interest and asked for change of lane or refund, bailey who came to help us said that she cant do neither of them.She expected us to either leave or continue to play like that. Supposedly she will do the same if she were in our situation which was a blunt answer. She didnt even apologize. When i asked for manager she said he is not here now and asked to call him the next day.Very rude and bad service!!!!!!
Place gets packed in the evenings, alot of fun weak arcade but strong billiards, the lanes mess up a little more than I would like but still gotta love it!
Staff seemed busy but helpful for us. Great bowling food and me and my husband had a great date night
The food is delicious and is super fun and the employees are kind
Clean, fun and enjoyed by the whole family.
We love to bowl but our kids dont. This place is great. We get a good deal on bowling and they have plenty of games for the kids to play while the husband and I bowl a few games. Our youngest was thrilled, he won over 1500 tickets in the arcade and got a whole bunch of cool little prizes. The food was pretty good for a bowling alley :). We went downstairs to play pool but the table took our money and didnt release the balls. We moved to another table and it was ok. Nice place overall.
Fun and Great Place have Fun
We had our Christmas Party there. So much fun! The foods pretty good, and also a wide variety of it. Nice and friendly staff.
Reasonably priced, great service, friendly and helpful. Pizza is surprisingly good! Great for a date or a large party.
A fine local bowling alley with a mostly traditional feel with updated scoring systems and plenty of tvs. The staff has always been friendly and helpful. We noticed only a few lane issues with stuck balls and such, but they seemed quick to respond and fix. Has bumpers and dinosaur ramps for the kids and a section to the side of the main alley that seemed reserved for public bowling (there was a league night last I was there). This section has always been a cosmic bowl with black lights and neon. Prices are fair and the food was bowling alley quality. I like this place!
Celebrated our friends grandsons 4th birthday! It was a great time. The kids loved bowling.
Everyone here is super friendly, food is great, pro shop was extremely helpful, probably spent an hour helping me choose the right ball and helped me to be a better bowler
Bowling is fun. So is their staff! Jerry is the best!
Fun time, good prices on bowling and drinks. Staff has been rude a couple of times, really one man in particular.
I would give it 5, but sometimes when we go lane #13 will reset or not be one correct frame so youll lose a turn or 2. Concessions are great. Prices are awesome.
Friendly staff and great food. Our lanes worked great and they had a large selection of balls.
Nice bowling alley. Great arcade for the kids. Seems to be well-maintained. Even has four to six lanes that can be rented out privately. It has a downstairs location with pool tables. A snack bar. A full bar and a pro shop.
Great bowling alley for the area. Lots of lanes and a sperate area for parties. Food is very reasonable and good although much of it is fried.
Great atmosphere, all employees very helpful and kind. Other than that just pricy with the food and drinks.
Great weekly specials. Food, beer, and games. Family fun for everyone! Flat screens in front of the lanes so you wont miss a sports game.
The new owners have really done a great job updating the business. They have new floors, new carpeting, a beautiful bar area. This looks like a new bowling alley.
Great time, Great staff. Good family fun
This place is great for a family night out bowling. They have regular and cosmic bowling options. They have an indoor bar, food, and arcade games for the kids as well. Decent prices. The only reason I gave it a 4 out of 5 is because it could use some updating. Half of the black lights in the cosmic bowling didnt work and our lane kept resetting/held our ball captive lol.
Had a birthday party here for my toddler & his classmates. They really had a BALL & all parents agreed how great the atmosphere was for a party. I definitely recommend it!!
We were there on a late Saturday night, so they had their Cosmic Bowling going on. The price was really good, but if they had more than 4 in your group you werent going to be able to get more then 2 or 3 games in that time.Food they had was good and hot, and price was what youd expect at a bowling all.
This place is fun, staff was friendly and attentive. Could use a pool table or a foose ball table. Perhaps some video games. They are remodeling the basement so those items I mentioned will likely be added soon. The bar was too well lit, always felt like closing time. Overall a good place to chill.
I have been going with my buddies every Thursday night for almost a year now. We always have fun and usually spend 2-3 hours there. Food is good and always hot. Bathrooms are very clean. Staff is always very helpful
Reasonable price for fun with family. You could choose regular bowling or cyber bowling in the middle of the day. All kind staff. Enjoyed our food! Clean restrooms.
Food was good, games were cheap at the right time, bathrooms were very clean, everyone was nice and helpful.
We attended a friends birthday party where we got a prepaid package. When we showed up they said they did not have a reservation for us. We showed our receipt and they were able to fit us in although we didnt get the cosmic bowling lanes which is what we had originally paid for. They worked with us to fix theissue, but it was still frustrating and not a great experience for the birthday girl! In the end we had a good time and enjoyed cheap beer, but I hope they straighten out their reservation system so this doesnt happen to anyone else. If you so reserve a package like that, be sure to hang onto your receipt and call prior to heading there to confirm theyll have things ready for your party.
This Bowling Alley has features that many others dont. It has a nice Big bar area with a giant projection TV that sits right in front of a sectioned off area with about 5 or 6 lanes. you can do a lazer bowling type thing over here while regular bowling is going on on the other side, thats pretty cool. this is great if you have a kids party or something. There is also a pretty nice little arcade right in the same area. My daughter won an iPad from one of the games, how cool is that!! They also have a billiards/pool area down stairs although i did not go down there. The place is a little dated in some areas like the bathrooms and the snack bar but it is a really nice place.
Really good time. Great lanes, the staff was friendly, prices are extremely reasonable especially on dollar night. 32 lanes of good family fun!
I bowl there almost every day its great and the food is good
Leased a new Rav 4 through Dean. He was very helpful and made everything super easy. Took a few trips to figure out what we wanted. And he helped us and showed us different cars everytime. Ask for Dean you wont be disappointed.
Love this bowling Alley. They have good bowling prices, not bad drink prices and they offer cosmic/cyber bowling. They also have food.
I Won It was Amazing
Nice bowling alley, good service, great Saturday morning leagues for kids.
Good place to do bowling
So Im giving three stars because, the bowling everytime I come here (which is Thursdays so nothing is more than a dollar to bowl so of course its fun) but more for the bartenders. I stood there waiting for about 15 minutes waiting while they pretended they had everything else more important than me. I was the only one at the bar, they were busy wiping down the counter. Just literally anything else for 15 minutes. I just wanted a domestic beer. Thats all. I dont understand how or why I would be treated like that. But the bowling on the hand was fantastic. I wouldnt complain but the bartenders continued to treat me badly more than once.
Excellent! Had a fantastic 9th birthday party with over 10 friends & had a great time. The staff was excellent, friendly and helpful!
Had a great time, food and drinks reasonably priced and the service staff were awesome.
The Little Apple Lanes is an excellent place for both the experienced bowler and those who just want to have a fun time.The Little Apple Lanes have an excellent kitchen and full bar. Ample entertainment abounds with pool, darts, arcade games and lots of TVs for sports or other viewing options.The jukebox is a state-of-the-art TouchTunes computer with song selection available at the device or through the exceptionally convenient app. It streams virtually any song youve ever enjoyed.The Little Apple Lanes Pro Shop is the perfect place to purchase a new ball and any other supplies a bowler could possibly want. Lance, the pro shop owner, is an avid bowler and generous with his time to ascertain any need one might have. He is always quick with a smile and a ready hand to serve.All-in-all one cannot go wrong with a fun time bowling at The Little Apple Lanes in the beautiful Flint Hills of Manhattan, Kansas.Huge Fan! - Bob Fleener
Decent food, nice friendly environment.
We had such a great time. Fun for the whole family. Highly recommend
Nice place with a friendly staff. They have a large bar area with giant tv. drinks were fairly priced. we grabbed some food from the kitchen, prices were ok, food was ok. There are 4 nice purple pool tables down stairs and a pretty nice game room upstairs. our older kids played pool while we bowled and the younger kids spent their time in the game room winning tickets for prizes. we had a nice time.
Usually have a great time. However, I wont be coming back for a while. Honored a coupon before (3 times prior), and when paying they told me that they would no longer take a valid promotional coupon. Not even an apology or anything.
Awesome time! Lanes freshly oiled and great condition. Very accommodating.
Scoring is affected by cosmic bowling.
Fun atmosphere, clean facilities and decent food. My only complaint was the length of time it took for the pins to reset and the balls to return. It really slowed down the game and it was frustrating that we couldnt even finish one game in an hour.
Wife and kid had fun. What stood out to me after trying to entertain my daughter with arcade games that dispense tickets for prizes is that 50 percent of their 10 or so games either do not work at all, dont actually dispense tickets that should be inside them, or are off on the count of tickets that should be dispensed. I lost 2 dollars on 4 separate games, 2 other games didnt dispense correct amount. When asking the clerk it turns out the games are owned by another company and they cant reimburse me. Its a simple fix OWNER: MAKE A SIGN THAT READS OUT OF ORDER or even easier PUT DUCT TAPE OVER THE MONEY SLOTS. keep the 2 dollars. But know I could have reached into one of the unlatched faceplates of the games and removes the entirety of the tickets. But that would have been theft
Been going there all my life, love this place. They have good food and everything I highly suggest this place!
Nice place. Great service
We had a great time, everything went well.
My wife and I went in here around 9 PM for our date night and we were asked to leave over my wife and I having fruit punch in there because she is diabetic. We did almost an hour of bowling along with eating our food there, before the manager Larry came up to us and told us we were not allowed to have drinks there. Now keep in mind no one was next to us on either side to complain. And my wife was there holding the cups as we paid to get in. I told him that it was fruit punch and even open the cup to show him, it was only fruit punch for her diabetes and Larry thru a fit. I told him he was being ridiculous and discriminatory and he than asked us to leave and refunded us our pizza. He said we were not to ever come back and to leave. This is horrible business ethic for a local business. He than chose to have his maintenance guy come and attempt to intimidate my wife and I and I told them both they were being ridiculous. I hope to hear from the owner so he knows how his business is taken care outside of his presence.
Great time with great employees! Always enjoy my time at Little Apple Lanes
Best value bowling alley in NE Kansas. Great service, good food and beverage options, and open bowling is only $2/game.
They are very accommodating for large parties at their pool tables, and the food available is competitive for the price.
Went last week with some friends and we were having a fun night before the snobby girl at the front desk came over and yelled at us and threatened to kick us out because one of our people were bowling too fast really? How can you regulate how fast someone bowls a ball. And then if that wasnt rude enough she went back to the front desk and when I followed her up to the desk she was making rude snide comments about our group to her friends. We saw her get an attitude with several more customers throughout the night. Poor poor customer service on her part. She needs reprimanded on her attitude or FIRED. Other than that, the food is amazing, the building is kept fairly clean and the rest of the staff is helpful and kind!
Fun busy atmosphere, and cosmic bowling is always a plus!
A fun place to take your family and friends
Would be nice if their website was up to date. Drove there for bowling and karaoke. There was no karaoke and open bowling didnt start til 9:30. Would have been nice to know before we drove out there....
Pretty standard bowling alley
Employees were friendly but the lanes kept messing up. Overall we had a group of 21 and we had a great time.
