Very accommodating with excellent service! We came in (group of 9) without a reservation and the staff set aside 2 lanes until our entire party arrived. Getting shoes was quick and easy. Also the shoes were the best Ive ever worn at a bowling alley (clean and newer). The variety of music meant there was something for everyone to sing along to. All of the equipment, lanes and seating areas were modern and well maintained. We had a great time!
Had a great family night for my cousins birthday! We had great pizza, the tenders were hot and crisp, and the drinks were delicious! The place was very clean. The staff members were extremely nice, and the prices werent outrageous. It was a great time and I would definitely recommend!
Planned and came here for a friends bachelor party! Planning process was very straightforward. Staff was very courteous and checked on us regularly, made recommendations for our plans for the rest of the day. Food and drinks were good, and pricing was very reasonable! Overall a very fun afternoon, and I would definitely recommend to anyone planning a group outing with friends! Thanks for a great time!
Had a great time at the bowling alley. Lanes were well maintained and the faculty was bright, clean and modern.Seems like the kind of place where lots of regulars go.Food was good.We went here specifically because I read reviews that the pro shop was good and I was not disappointed. Bought a ball for my son. Pro shop guy was friendly and knowledgeable.Very happy, good over all experience.
The manager I spoke to tonight (short blonde female) was increasingly aggressive over simple questions. I have been here many times over the past decade with no problems at all. The sass left a terrible taste in my mouth. I cant go back here again. Its just silly that my favorite place has turned into a hostile environment.
Horrible place. the staff was rude and the entire place was dirty. on the walk in i saw a rat outside but didn’t think much of it, but when i got in i saw another rat running near the kitchen. our seats were sticky even after we wiped them down with wet wipes. we paid for two games and honestly should’ve just left after one. will not be returning, unless it becomes abandoned because then at least it’ll be a cool place to take photos. it would probably have less rats too.
I had a great time with the family. The reason I gave 4 stars intead of 5 is because none of the bartenders knew how to make any of the specialty drinks that are highlighted on their menu. I got a Rockin Rita (I think thats what it was called) and it was made completely different each time.
Tonight on 09/19/2021 my family and I went to the location in Bristol PA. There was 9 of us between my brother and my family. The English accent guy said its 22 and some change a person and you get from 9pm until closing plus the shoe rental. It was a great time until 2 hours in they cutt us off. I admit that I cussed the English guy out because he wouldnt admit he made a mistake. My family went there a week ago on a Saturday and spent 60 bucks for 3 hours. Why would someone spend 22 bucks a person for 2 hours? The guy dont know what hes doing. He ripped my family off and we left with no choice to accept the loss
Nice place with plenty of parking. Prices are great for bowling. Everything was very clean as well. Plenty of food that can be ordered and cooked fresh. I can really only point out one problem. There are no vending machines for drinks or snacks that I could see. But as I said they have food and the like cooked to order.
I hadn’t been to this alley in years, but I went last weekend and it was amazing! Completely remodeled - new floors, new screens, new chairs and tables, etc. it was so nice I couldn’t believe it. The staff were so friendly and helpful in picking out whether to bowl per game or unlimited and we ended up saving nearly $50 with the unlimited bowling package. With the remodel this is now the nicest alley around!
Always great customer service. Friendly and professional, the staff goes out of their way to make you feel wanted. Your business is appreciated. I drive further to play here, but the food and drinks are good. The wait staff is attentive and remembers our usual weekly orders! That means a lot! The manager pitches in where ever needs arise, as does the rest of the staff. Feels like family here!!
They have a bowling league on a Friday night so we would have had to wait two hours to bowl. Who has a league, that takes up the entire alley, on a Friday?? It’s the weekend. That’s when most people want to do something fun with friends or family. Also, their “arcade” was four games. Not really an arcade to me.
I try to hit AMF once a week. I think that the staff are all very kind, helpful, and personable. The Pro Shop has knowledgeable staff and decent prices. The food always smells great and a lot of people seem to enjoy it, but I go to bowl, not eat! They use brand new, high tech lane computers, which is awesome! Also worth noting is that the lighting is great. The lanes arent as forgiving as other alleys, which I personally like. (Ive only been Bowling for (almost) 8 weeks now, but my average at AMF is considerably lower than at other local alleys, but I enjoy the challenge.) Anyway, I dont see any reason why AMF would disappoint!(Addendum: Enchanted String Dolls in the Skill Crane Machine are the bane of my existence! My Nephew wants one so badly! (And my wallet wants him to have one, too!)) Now, go Bowling! =)
Told us we could only play for 45 mins because a bowling league was coming. Mine you no one was there at all. After 20 minutes (1game) they turned off our lane. The guy at the desk was so rude saying we could only play 1 game, even though we only played 20 of the 45 mins. It was my family members first time bowling and our first time going there, but I will never visit this place again. It gave me a bad vibe.
Bowling here has been great for me every time I go. Not just for me but for my family as well. Ive joined a league here and for my third year it has gotten much better with the employees, new and old, the place has gotten an awesome makeover inside with new flooring, paint, tv screens and seating, and the bar area. I was in another league and returned back to Bristol because its just 10 times better. I highly recommend this place for a fun time and if you want to join a league. If so... join Saturday night mix. Best league yet!
Nothin better than getting out with good friends & blowing off sum steam.. Staff is friendly all around & pro shop great.. I just started on a league this season & we all have a great time.. I wouldnt want to bowl anywhere else, esp since I live 5 minutes away but thats not the reason I go there.. Give them a try, youll have a blast..!! 💯
Your hometown lanes. Relatively clean, inexpensive and no frills. Perfect for weekly leagues, and has a Pro Shop.They have food service and some things to occupy the kids but that is not why you go to a bowling alley. Its not a hangout, its not for dinner reservations, its a bowling alley with a concession stand.If you are going to bowl, its great. If you are going because you want a replacement Chuck-E-Cheese experience, you are mistaken.
Family friendly place. This place is all about bowling instead of just a fun center. Birthday party bookings are available on the weekends. Monthly tournaments are run here. Plenty of leagues are available on the weeknights. The leagues go from beginner to very competitive. Phenomenal area proshop in the center called MMC Premier pro shop.
I used to come here as a young man and now that I have kids of my own Ive been bringing them here. My 5 year old enjoys bowling and Sunday mornings have $2 a game from 10am-12pm. Thats per person but still a good deal. They have bumper bowling for the kids but the only downfall for me is they bumpers are either up or down they dont automate but not a big deal as its fun for the kids. The place is clean and friendly which is a plus. I do wish they did more business so they could renovate some more areas but looks good for how long they have been there. Lots of specials throughout the week for bowling and food so check it out. I would recommend buying your own bowling shoes as rentals can get expensive after awhile and bowling shoes will pay for themselves after 3 or 4 visits. I will continue to go back and bowl here.
I went in after 9 on a Wednesday when they have unlimited bowling advertised on their website. Well, we got charged a reduced price for every game which was still a low price but just doesnt sound like $7 unlimited per person. I even brought this up to the cashier who started to get confused as he stated some other special instead and then trailed off when he realized he could only remember Tuesdays. The only advertising in the bowling alley we could spot on the deal we were expecting was in the vestibule and seen on our way out. It wasnt a bad experience, just awkward. Oh, and some of the staff nearby seemed to know what was happening as they drifted away from us and the cashier when I mentioned a different Wednesday special and when we went to turn in our shoes after four games they didnt even approach the counter. Good thing we paid in cash before the games so there wasnt a long wait. Neither them or us were rude, we were just a little confused, so I guess they just avoided us out of precaution if they thought we might suddenly turn aggressive demanding refunds after having a good time or something. Next time I guess Ill just have to pull it up on my phone at the time of payment and hope for the best
Me and my friends went here on a Saturday night. We all had alot of fun even though Im not great at bowling. We all got food amd it was amazing, the menus are good. They also have a mini bar there I noticed but cant say much since we didnt drink while there. Clean and redone recently amd much better from the time I went there a few years ago for a birthday party.
Great bowling alley to bowl in. It was very well upkept. The oil machine was state of the art. It actually oiled the lanes by itself, literally. The guys who own the new pro shop, Glen Mason and his partner were very hospitable and customer savy. The only downside to my whole experience was the snack bar prices were quite pricy for what you were getting. The snack bar menu could definitely use a revamping.....just saying. However, overall I enjoyed my visit there at AMF. I just wont go hungry. Lol
There was a time when a man named Jack ruled the lanes... Plaques bearing his name and the perfect score of 300 adorn the walls and pro shop of this historic location where gladiators of yore threw down and rolled as if their lives depended on it. Little did they know at the time, but IT DID!!!
Bristol Pike Lanes is the Best bowling center in the Philly area. Rich, Kim, John, Jen and the rest of the staff are second to none. AMF has invested a lot of money in new lane surfaces, floors, computers, the bar, etc. From practice, to league, to tournaments, to special events, this place has you covered. Plus, you may even catch a touring pro throwing a practice session, enough said.

2022-06-30Thursday, June 30, 2022, I wanted to practice my bowling game with my son he has a summer pass and I was gonna pay for three games wanted to get lanes next to each other and got a hard time at the front desk from the manager who says this is how it’s done if I wanna a lane fine and if I don’t oh Well , is completely empty 36 lanes only 9 were being used, I refuse to bowl and let my son bowl. and few stragglers came in to bowl single bowlers and he gave them Lanes but he wouldn’t accommodate me and my son next to each other when there are actually lanes that are open right next to each other… I have been coming to this bowling alley for years I never had a problem doing so, but today somebody had to be on their high horse and show their authority… as you can see completely empty!!! enough said!!!

2022-04-19Fun place! I’ve been involved with league bowling every Friday night for 2 seasons now, and it’s been a great experience. Their food and beverage service is good, but it’s a bowling alley, not a restaurant, and prices are a bit high and the menu is limited. The lanes are well cared for, and the bathrooms are always clean, stocked, and working. When you’re there for 3 hours for league night, with beverage service, that seems important!The staff is also always friendly and pleasant to its bowlers. I’ll be back again for league next year! They do have summer leagues too if you’re looking to get into a bit more laid back league experience.

2022-06-12The lanes are nice. Its a little pricey in my opinion, but I didnt go during a special, I went on a Friday night. The server was overwhelmed and I had to wait a long time to order food. Im fairly patient but was a little bugged when I discovered that an employee that could have taken my order was distracted by chit chat and trying to give away a pitcher of beer that no one wanted instead of taking my food order. He seemed to realize his mistake and was attentive after the fact, but waiting 15+ minutes to place a food order when someone was available the whole time was a little annoying.
