If you are looking for a safe place that enforces mask use during a pandemic- KEEP LOOKING. Our family was there Saturday night for a Disney bowling event. There is a sign on the door that states mask are required. Once inside there was only staff wearing masks. There was a LARGE group of probably about 50 people with no masks and many other smaller groups/families. Other than our family-I only saw 2 other patrons wearing mask. I asked the staff and they said Masks arent required unless you are walking around. Stay safe and give your business to places that take a global viral pandemic serious. Masks should be required and enforced at ALL times in a building.

Friendly employees, clean and organized when I went. Seems to always be busy but I was able to easily call and reserve a lane. Bumpers and ramps available for kids. Right now the concession area is closed (maybe due to Covid-19), but the arcade area is open.

We go for the arcade. It is so much fun for kids of all ages! You win tickets and can turn them in for prizes, which is pretty cool. There is 2 skeeball games, a large and small air hockey table (the big one needs some work. Maybe oil rubbed into the table top would help puck to move better, but it is still playable and fun), big screen games that are awesome, including one where you actually sit on a motorbike and ride like theres no tomorrow, leaning side to side to turn-my favorite game in the arcade, but hard on my back, lol.

Not as nice as some of the lanes Ive been to, but its not bad considering its middle of nowhere location. The staff were SUPER FRIENDLY, so that makes it a bit better. The lanes are well maintained and clean for the most part. The arcade area is actually pretty well maintained and diverse in their selection of games (at least the ones that were working). I would definitely visit again.

This is a great place to go and have a good time with friends and family.Clean place with fresh Lanes.I wish I could say the hospitality and the customer service was up to par but they had failed in many ways. At one point at one point that the girl was actually quite nasty towards several people. And acted like she didnt want to be there to begin with.I do not know if shes the owner or just an employee but they definitely need to change a little bit of something there.

Well lit, good lanes, room for bowling bags and reasonably priced food. One of the better bowling centers in the triangle. Buffaloe does the best job in this area.

Mike at the Pro Shop is probably one of the best guys in the area. The bowling alley itself is pretty nice and always has a decent amount of people in it. It seems more busy than the Cary location. Its not as bright and colorful as the Cary location but the staff is nice and this place has its own charm. You cant really lose going to a Buffaloe Lanes they have family deal pricing as well. Check out their website.

Review №34

This bowling alley is one of the best for many reasons. A small but good pro shop, a relaxed but helpful staff, and decent lanes. Midnight bowling is an easy way to make your moneys worth if you wanna bowl a lot of games, but I know birthdays here are pretty fun too.

Went to Buffalo Lanes with my sons Cub Scout Pack, the Building was clean and the employees I dealt with were very nice and efficient in dealing with the busy crowds. I imagine that the there is reasoning behind having a bare basics menu at the food bar/ deli??? But I was disappointed the most in not having a potato chip option on the menu. I ended up not ordering anything because the menu looked so boring and lifeless. I hope that others do not feel the same as I do, hope that the food bar makes them a good profit. I recommend adding variety to the menu.

We love bowling as a family. This place offers not only bowling but fun arcade games that spits out tickets that you can redeem at the counter. They also serve food and beverages. You can find things like a kids combo that has fries, a hotdog, small drink a cookie for 5 or 6 bucks. But they also even have pbj sandwiches, mozzarella sticks, corndog minis etc. the list goes on. But if you have a picky family member theyll surely find something there. But overall this place is great for families and truly for everyone. Go bowling yall!

As good as a bowling alley can get. Great Family environment clean lanes, good prices nice bathrooms, helpful employees, excellent game room.The only thing I would change is the food they sell at the counter. Great comfort food grilled cheese fries etc. but a lot of people can’t eat any of that, I know I can’t.Expand the variety and add more nutritious foods and snacks especially because we are usually there for breakfast and lunch during league and tournaments.

Reasonably priced, well maintained bowling alley . Combined with a family friendly game room, in which you can win tickets while you play . Rewards for frequent trips to the center, with everything that you would expect to find at a bowling alley. ie ; lockers and a small food service area with a reasonable selection on the menu.

Review №51

The place is nice but I visited 3 times before they actually let me bowl. Apparently you have to be a member of a league to bowl here most days. The third time that I was able to bowl they told me I had 30 minutes then I would have to leave.

Nice family place to go!! My family of 12 went here Sunday just for fun, and it was great!! Was able to reserve 3 lanes. Food is fast food type but good. Kids and adults loved it. Game room is big and plenty games to play for the kids. I accidentally hit NO when I reviewed this for if they serve food . Sorry, they do.

I went Saturday night for the late night bowling, I will say I havent tried other venues in awhile so Im not sure how others compare. We made a good time of it, however the experience could have been better. I really appreciated that it felt/looked clean, there were plenty of balls and they took lane reservations over the phone. I know other places do a little more with their late night bowling such as glow in the dark, music, etc. However, this was very kid friendly for such late hours so I would probably do it again if I were to be with children. Also, I dont recall a bar so maybe thats why the environment seemed alot tamer for a Saturday late night. It could really be a great if they improved their food quality and options.

Made a reservation earlier in the day for Cosmic Bowling tonight. It starts at 11pm and we got there around 10:50 pm. Went to check in and they had given our lane away. When I asked them why, they said we need to be there no later than 10:45 pm. I wasnt told anything about what time I needed to be there. In my opinion, this is very poor customer service and then they had the nerve to ask if I wanted to wait Why would I want o wait on something I already had a reservation for??? Ignorant people! Obviously you need to train your employees better!

Me & my 4 children (2 boys-age 9 & 11 ;; 2 girls-age 2 & 3) went for thier cousins birthday party. We had a really good time & my children are happy & wore out. Unfortunately we live almost an hour away so its very unlikely we will be back any time soon. But it was a nice day, the place was clean & the employees were very nice, especially the party hostess Leah (I think that was her name).

Need better adult supervision for staff on these cosmic bowling events. Young staff does not pay attention and most times you have to wait over a minute for them to call your colored pin.

We bowled here as a family, had a birthday party here for our son, have attended birthday parties for friends here... They are always clean, well-staffed, friendly and the lanes are always packed. Not so busy that you cant get a lane, but obviously a favorite near Fuquay!

My only complaint is the service. You basically have a 50/50 chance of someone rolling their eyes anytime you ask for help. Other than that, its one of my favorite places to hang out!

My son and I were there while he was on his school break. Its such a fun activity to do and this Buffaloe Lanes was clean from the lanes to the shoe rentals. Bumpers were available if you wanted them and a little arcade. I used a Groupon as well which saved us about $7.00
