- RRRobJan 1, 20263.0Normally I love this place. However my 2 kids and I came in with food to donate in exchange for a game but we were told no the deal ended a day prior even though it was still advertised on the screens and at the counter
- CCCharlotteDec 22, 20252.0This would be a very good place to visit if they didn’t put height limits on whether or not you can use bumpers, well, me and a group of my friends were here. A worker came up to us and told us that there were height limits for the bumpers and as someone who doesn’t know how to bowl very well. I thought this is very annoying, but I would definitely recommend coming here if you were under 4’11
- ECEmily Bernard CoonertyDec 10, 20255.0They serve great food and really fun bowling!
- ACAndy M! (Cackling Crow)Nov 16, 20254.0The boardwalk bowl is always a fun time. It shows it's age, but I'm an endearing, nostalgic kind of way.
- BMBenjamin MooreNov 1, 20251.0Took my 15 yr old nephew from out of town here, he had never bowled before. The staff came and confiscated the 6 pound ball my nephew chose, citing that it’s for children only. I argued that he is a child, then the employee specified it has to be a young child. My nephew is maybe 120 lbs soaking wet, he was struggling with the 6 lb ball. I tried to explain this, but the employee refused to listen, so I refunded the remainder of our games and left
