We love this place! Took our kids for a Labor Day activity and had a blast! Bill and the rest of the staff were incredibly efficient and helpful. I would recommend this bowling alley to anybody wanting to go have some wholesome fun!

I came here during opening from covid stuff, so possibly not normal experience.This is the best bowling alley Ive ever been to. Food is cheap and they dont skimp you on it. Lanes/balls are cleaned. Theres a bar (I didnt use it but it exists, which is awesome). Dude, they have bumper cars. And the staff was nice too.

The upgrades made to Bayou Bowl are awesome! Great food and food choices cooked in a timely manner at a great price. Awesome bartender that made me an awesome drink. And the ladies at the front desk were super nice! We had a great time bowling and the new screens/system make the game so much more fun!

This was our familys first time going to Bayou Bowl and it was EXCELLENT!! Everything was set up very nicely and our hostess Scarlett was great. She made sure we had everything we needed and explained all of the party details to us. She was at our every call and she stayed on top of everything. She also gave me a pamphlet for future reference for more parties to come. I will be back really soon!

We had an amazing time the bumper cars ate awesome, I wish they would keep one lane with bumpers available for families coming in and out and not just parties but other than that it was perfect

Review №21

Its a very nice place for a relaxing time with family and friends. The staff members are attentive and nice. The food service and the hygiene is extraordinary. The only problem is that there seems to be a few issues with lane malfunctions every so often. The issues dont cause too much problem nor do they take too long to be fixed. They just tend to annoying and break ambience. But overall its a nice place to go.

Review №23

They spent a ton of money to remodel this place and its even more family-friendly now. They have black light bowling cold beer and the fair number of pool tables and arcade games.

Review №24

Great for birthday parties! You get a host/hostess that handles almost everything for you. You get some great incentives with the parting packet. Not as expensive as other places that dont provide food.

Bowling was fun but the Lane needed some adjustments which took several minutes. Then, since we had paid for an hour, we didnt get to finish our game.

Review №31

We had a blast bowling, but you could tell this was an old bowling ally and is in need of some serious upgrading. Our pins kept messing up and the balls kept getting stuck. The lanes also has slight humps in them but it made our game more interesting.

Love it! The only thing is that the staff didnt seem to friendly. The price was a little steep for my family. Overall, I enjoyed it!

Absolutely loved it!!! Especially the bumper cars

Pa
Review №42

Very pleasant as most times. On lanes not used for league bowlers so they had level and pin issues, but they were oiled and it was a lot of fun!

Da
Review №43

It is beyond me why they moved those pool tables in that tiny room. Good luck making a shot with the wall 2 foot away....

Ka
Review №44

Very friendly staff. Fun games. 3 stars because the bowling balls are so old and chipped. They don’t roll straight, even when using a child’s guide that should make them go straight. Also, more than half of our game were being bowled wrong because the names on the board were not going along with way the pins were getting set up. I had them reset it twice and then we had to manually do it on our screen after that. It took way too much of our hour trying to fix that.

Review №45

Very friendly service. The best time to go is Friday nights because its all you can bowl. They have great food and serve alcohol. Very friendly atmosphere and family friendly!

Br
Review №49

Pretty average. Ive been multiple times and have had malfunctions almost each times. Bigger concern is the lanes, they are extremely dry. Intermediate to advanced bowlers with heavy hooks will find their shots going far wide.

Building is a little old, but they have remodeled the inside. Nice lanes, computerized screens, a variety of different foods at concessions and affordable prices. Love their kids program thru the summer.. ;)

Place has come so far and now a really decent place to bowl.

Review №55

Terrible lanes, I refuse to use my new ball because the lanes are so beat up. I think they could have taken the money the spent on those terrible no space to operate indoor bumper cars and fixed the dang lanes!

Review №59

They have great food but the equipment needs repairs. League bowlers do not like to be held up in play because of balls hanging up,etc. . But I highly recommend their food and the workers are great.

Review №63

Even after the remodel this bowling alley still lingers way behind the rest of the world and needs a real upgrade. Inside and out. They the doors I feel like Im in a small town with only this place to entertain the residents..thats got to be why other people are actually here! KIDS BOWL FREE is whats being done right here though (hence the 3 stars and not 1 star) and is what brings me back.

I was a bit surprised to read such reviews for this place. It is not that bad at all. I have been here 3 or 4 times and it was fun. Furthermore there is this one thing that marks the place out and makes me suggest it to friends - the staff! People are patient and helpful.

Review №74

This is a very popular place on the weekends. Very crowded. If you want to avoid the crowd Id say come on a weekday. They mix things up with black out days which just means they turn off the lights and the blacklights come on. They have pool tables, a small arcade area, and concession. Nice place overall.

Da

Always a great bowling experience. Would be a 5 but food service is slow

St
Review №76

Prices are to high and parking lot need to be repaved other than that its pretty nice since the upgrades.

Ch
Review №77

Looks like they have sold out and switched hands. Renovations have been done and prices were way higher then it use to. They wanted around $26-30 per lane per hour plus shoe rental. $3 drinks and $1.25 refills. I use to visit this place a lot but now Im not expected to come back.

Review №86

Under renovation, only lanes available were pretty worn out. Some of the balls looked like theyd been rolled down a gravel road. But the kid had fun, thats what matters. Theyre working on improvements!

Ca
Review №87

I swear the AC must be dead in this place. Feels like a sauna!!! But they have repaired the lanes and it is much better than it was.

Ti
Review №88

HORRIBLE customer service. They only care about money. Lane stopped working, they spent over 30 min trying to fix our lane, and wouldnt pause the timer or credit us that time. We were there for a birthday party, and not even 5 min after the timer went off and we were eating cake, they approached us and said if we werent buying more time we needed to move, and over half of the other lanes werent even being used.

I actually quite enjoy it. Its very fun, but the lanes sometimes do mess up in resetting the pins or returning the balls. Those are my only complaints. Other wise, I really enjoy it.
