    The best youth league hands down. Management does a phenomenal job supporting the youth and make all feel welcome. 5 star business without a doubt.

    Went in with my boyfriend and his friends. I asked the woman at the front desk to turn on the rails for us since I’m not very good at bowling, and she said yes—but they were never turned on. When I asked another (older) staff member about it, she rudely told us we were “too big for rails.” It was really disappointing and honestly killed the vibe of what was supposed to be a fun night. If I’m paying to bowl, I should be allowed to request rails if I want them. The interaction felt unnecessary and unwelcoming. So weird! My boyfriend also mentioned that the bartenders were rude and seemed miserable at their jobs. It’s not fair to take that out on customers or make people feel unwelcome because you don’t like where you work.

    Before tonight I would have said Bowl America was a great place to spend an afternoon, but the manager Michelle was very disrespectful and dismissive of my brother and I when trying to secure a lane on a busy night. We have been going to Bowl America since we were kids, bringing our report cards in to get free games. However now as two young adults working full time jobs wanting to enjoy a game or two after work get greeted with rudeness. We were patient, respectful and kind as our parents raised us. I don’t think I will be returning. She tried to apologize to us while we bowled but I felt it was too little too late. Every other experience I have had at Bowl America has been great. I can’t say I wouldn’t recommend going here, I would just avoid her.
