The score er was off. It gave us modeling than we were knocking down. The food was good but we ordered nachos and they came with no meat when trying to get help. The cook just ignored me. And it wasn't even busy. Never did get it resolved so no I won't go back read more

This is a mix between a family bowling alley and an alley for serious bowlers. The lanes are usually oiled consistently but not always. There's an arcade for kids but most other family type bowling alleys have far better arcades. Pitchers of beer are $16. Not terrible but not cheap. The food is ok but a little expensive. Overall I like the place. It's good at everything but great at nothing. read more

Come in and told each game is 7.99 per game with third game at 50% off..go to check out and and told it had to be prepaid ...never told that at the begining. Checked out with the manager and told us too bad. You upset 6 people over $16 that could've made us quite happy and satisfied customers. Poor customer service. I worked the bowling industry for 20 years in New York and would've MADE the customer happy so they would return. Sounds petty but why piss off people paying $100+ in your bar and $100+ for standard bowling? read more

My uncle a Desert Storm Veteran who's disabled goes and supports his friends playing and always orders food for the lane. He went to the register to order and the girl asked what lane he was bowling and he said it lane X but he wasn't bowling but ordering for everyone who's playing and she stated "Well that's a problem, your not actively bowling we won't serve you (food not alcohol-he doesn't drink) then he went back to the lane and who ever was active manager came and asked him to please leave he was no longer welcome. We are talking about a veteran who can barely climb 3 steps with shoulder issues, diabetic, so frail he'd be knocked over by the wind in a monsoon. Deeply disappointed my uncle was treated with such disrespect. AMF is this how you treat the elderly and elderly veterans? Our family won't be hosting anymore bowling Bdays, or family game nights with AMF. God Bless our service men and women, they come back to this treatment. read more

I really enjoy bowing at mesa lanes but I think the lanes need to be oiled before the leagues begin

We celebrated our daughter's 15th bday with this facility. I can not express my gratitude and thanks with just 5 stars...We told the staff it was a surprise and they delivered an amazing surprise experience. We had the best time and the food....WAS AMAZING! The whole experience exceeded my expectations and it was worth every penny spent. I look forward to celebrating many more things here. We felt like we were apart of family with the AMF experience overall. My daughter and her friends had a great time and we, as parents, had an amazing time watching them laugh and eat the amazing food. We had pizza, mozz sticks, tater tots and chicken tenders. All were cooked to perfection and refilled often. AGAIN THE EXPERIENCE WAS TOP-NOTCH AND WORTH THE MONEY SPENT!!! read more

Bartender doesn't know how to do her job and gives unnecessary attitude, if you just turned 21 do not come to this location go to another one they don't know how to do there jobs here read more

Camryn has been great to us. It's very busy here and he's been making sure that every single lane has been taken care of no matter how busy he is! Great place to bowl, Scott the manager is also a good guy and makes sure everyone is happy! read more

I have nothing else but compliments for this place. Everyone here is wonderful and helpful. I did interact with different people, different shifts. Made no difference. Service was top-notch. From kitchen, bar, front desk, all of them are just phenomenal. I mention every single employee, because I don't know all of them by name, but they are working definitely as a team . Wonderful service ! Keep doing what you doing. PS . KFC should be trained by you guys how to make chicken wings, and Firebirds should learn their cocktails from you guys read more

Love to come here and the staff is great! Love the fact that they make you feel like you're part of the family.

I love this alley, i got the summer pass and have been going almost every day for a couple of weeks. The people there are always pleasant, the other bowlers are super nice and it's easy to get a lane and go bowling. I almost never eat there but the pizza looks very good. I always get a pitcher of water which is free. The lanes are nice. read more

Always enjoy bowling here. Sarah and Sean at the front desk are always very helpful with whatever you need.

Awesome place to go and feel nostalgic. Warm, welcoming, and comforting. A real bowling alley.

Went to this AMF to have a date night with my wife, we went up playing at 9 PM for the deal on weekdays. Ended up playing 5 games with the barrier getting stuck a couple times but Scott specifically was being really helpful in getting it unstuck as well as another employee telling us how to fix it. Food for being cheap from what I was expecting for a bowling alley was good! Thank you for a good time, definitely gonna make it a weekly date night read more

Let me start by saying I've been bowling amf lanes for the better part of 15 years. In all my years of bowling at these I've never ran into a manager that's a piece of work like Kevin. Multiple times through out my time here I had my ball get stuck in the back and politely asked Kevin to have it recovered, his responses were unapologetically rude every time. During my time here the ally was not remotely busy and he surely wasn't either. Kevin sits up on his perch on some power trip. I come out to have a good time and it's hard to do so when when management comes off as such an ass. This one star is specifically for Kevin the manager. Amf as an establishment is great. Hope to not cross this path again. read more

Avoid this place at all costs. This establishment is obviously not taking COVID seriously. I've been to a few bowling alleys since the COVID restrictions have been lifted and all have great policies- masks on unless your at your lane, every other lane is in use, employees are masked up and friendly, generally just a safe environment. Every. Single. Employee. Is. Wearing. Their. Mask. Wrong. Under their nose. When I asked if they had any mask policies, they said no. They allowed people in without a mask, and did not require one inside. Which directly violates the state mandate. Plus, tables are sticky. Never saw anyone wipe down a bowling ball or a table or anything. I stayed only because my party had already paid. I kept my mask on the whole time. AMF- you need to either shut down or follow the rules. This is ridiculous. Rude employees who don't clean or follow state required mandates. I will be reporting this to the state authorities. I recommend Bowlero instead of this place. They have great policies and will be kind and clean. read more

My son and I have been going here all summer, at least once a week, for his high school class, and have really enjoyed it. We got summer passes, which are well worth it. The place itself is pretty no frills and nothing fancy. But the staff has been super helpful. They get busy, so plan accordingly. They're especially busy on Monday and Wednesday evenings for league nights (a lot of the lanes are reserved for the leagues). We go on Tuesdays or Thursdays and have better luck getting a lane right away. We haven't had the food, but they have a decent bar selection and the usual beers. read more

Went out w my bestie and her 2 kiddos for a day of bowling. I had purchased the Groupon to use but purchased it on the same day as our visit so unfortunately I wasn't able to (due to the 24 hour processing lapse). However, Kevin really helped us out. He was extremely friendly and accommodating and made our experience a blast. Would not have been the same without his help. We really appreciated his assistance. He deserves a raise! We will happily be back. Thank you read more

Clean facility and had an unusual situation that was quickly resolved by the manger, Sean. Food and drinks are reasonably priced and served quickly. Great service and highly recommended! read more

The process of getting a new lane was difficult. We had people join and just wanted to reserve the empty lane next to ours but they said we can try and that if it gets busy, we'd have to consolidate to 1 lane (even though we had 7 total people which exceeds their lane limit). After paying over $180 for bowling and shoe rentals (7 shoe rentals, 17 games), I was charged another $91 hours after I had left the alley. Ensure you double check your charges. Very poor service all around. Workers were standing behind the desk when there was a line full of people looking to check out. read more

I have bowled league here weekly the past 2 years and consider it my home away from home & training ground

This was the best day ever they gave me the Nintendo switch when the game broke on me and wouldn't let me get the prize in it they are the nicest and most kindest people ever they made my day and week read more

Love this bowling location, absolutely immaculate balls. Wonderfull balls selection. The balls where the highlight of my day. If you are looking for absolutely excellent balls go here. They will find the balls that fit you perfectly. Do recommend read more

I'm not great at bowling, but I know enough to be competitive and enjoy myself. And I know how much fun it can be when you're with good friends and company. The only thing that could possibly make this better, is where you choose to bowl. The AMF Bowling Center in Mesa is definitely one of those places. In this day and age, with all the competition out there for your entertainment dollars, namely the multi-tainment centers, it's nice to see a classic place step up their game. We ended up in Mesa while out celebrating my girlfriend's brother's birthday. This isn't your father's smokey alley. Walking in on a Friday night didn't leave that awkward feeling you get on league nights, as if you walked into a private club. The music and sound system are excellent. The food and drinks are above average. The computer interface is simple. The rates are really good too (after 8 on a Friday night). The shoes are actually kinda cool too! Needless to say, we had a blast! Compared to the rates at another Mesa alley, AMF wins this battle. read more

Horribly neglected. This is by far the dirtiest and most poorly maintained bowling alley I have been to. The balls are all filthy and severely damaged. They all have gashes and chips in them, like they were dropped out of a moving truck on a freeway. Not an inviting environment and is unreasonably expensive. 2 people playing 1 game cost about $30- plus $15 for every additional game. I frequented this alley years ago and enjoyed it but was disappointed going back. read more

First time here and paid for shoes and game time on Groupon. After arriving to play, we were told we can't use Groupon for 24 hours. Not AMF's fault, it is Groupon. The owner quickly took care of us and helped us out with a discount!! He didn't have to but was kind enough to want us to have a good time. Then our time was up and he came over and interacted with my granddaughter and told her if she can beat her last score, we can finish the game even though our time was up!! Very kind and made the experience amazing!! Definitely going back! Oh, food was good too!! read more

This bowling alley isn't as modern and fancy as Bowlmor in Gilbert, but the prices here are lower. There are a couple of workers at the front desk who will make your experience a great one. I can't remember the girl's name (sorry) but Austin is amazing. He is insanely great at his job, not to mention helpful and nice. Plus, the last time we were there, they actually had brand spanking new bowling shoes. When was the last time you wore some of those? read more

I came here one day to watch a family member bowl. No service in this place. You will have to bring your own drinks in because there is nobody to serve you. read more

Went here during Covid and it was gross. We bought a Groupon that morning and we got there and they said it didn't go into effect for 24 hours. So buying the Groupon was a complete waste. It was super super apparent they did not take cleaning seriously. It felt like a breeding ground and I'm not even that picky about that. read more

Kevin is so awesome! We love coming to this alley, we have league here every week and the customer service here is amazing! We are always taken care of in the best way. Kevin always knows my shoe size and clears our table when it gets even a little cluttered. He is warm and friendly and likes to make us laugh. We have a great time bowling here and I love to bring friends and family. I really like that the glasses are always clean when we order drinks from the bar. Everyone wears there mask in the areas they are supposed to so I feel safe. It's clean and the tables are a nice distance away from the lanes. They always have my size ball too even on busy nights. read more

Love this bowling alley & the staff. Kevin has been a great help & is always super friendly. The food is pretty good & they have a nice little bar. Definitely a great place to come for a fun night out! read more

We recently ventured to this location after trying many different spots to have a great game of bowling, without all the bells and whistles that can be used to upcharge a simple game. Here is the breakdown... Front Desk: The staff was really nice to us as we walked in, and greeted us promptly. We brought in an energy drink, and she politely told us we couldn't have it in, but to go ahead and drink it anyway. Not many places are flexible, and this immediately put us at ease. The manager was nice, and gave us the Military discount, so don't forget to ask! Lanes: Now, the lanes do seem to be outdated. The videos in between frames seemed to be from the early 90's. I really wish this was updated. I know it's trivial, but the little things count when I go out. Yes, the approach was dirty, and the ball return did not work a couple times. But this is to be expected with some heavy use. We didn't run into any issues with maintenance, so no comment can be made. Drinks/Food: Now, we didn't order any food, but we did get a couple drinks from the bar. I ordered a beer, which was just fine. The glass was chilled, THANK YOU, and no issues there. But we did order the giant margarita drink, and both of the twins I was with agreed that it was overly sweet. We had to continually add water in order to make it less sugary. Overall: We are glad we came to this location, the staff truly make a difference. We are currently looking into bowling leagues there, which are a great deal! We will come back, and I can't wait to try some of the food that was available. Thank you AMF! read more

This place is very outdated and in poor condition. Poor restroom facilities, terrible grill and bowling facilities often breakdown. I overheard a guest ask about why the pinsetters keep breaking down. The employee explained it happens because it is too expensive to keep them repaired. No pro shop either. This place is also overpriced. Try Fat Cats on Baseline and Greenfield. Much newer and very affordable with other amenities as well. read more

I have been a loyal guest here for almost two years, bowling almost daily. I normally have a great time. The management team and the bartenders, and really everyone is great. Except for Jenny, who I believe is the Regional/ General Manager. She is rarely at this location and when she was here on 9/3 and 9/4 she treated me and my friends who were bowling so rude. If the mission statement is to strive to be a world-class provider of delightful guest experiences and the number one priority is to make the guest experience the best. In fact one of the job descriptions for a General Manager ensure teams are efficient and the center experience is of the highest caliber. Guess what, Jenny doesn't do that! Saturday my friends were bowling next to me, one on each side. When a ball didn't return. So we looked for someone at the desk there was no one there. We looked at the snack bar and again no one there. I walked down to the office door and knocked and walked back to bowl. I threw one ball and turned around and Jenny was standing behind me. No smile, no friendly greeting. Instead she loudly says "What do you want, Kelli" wow...customer service would be nice. I stated "I don't need anything, he does" she turns and walks toward my friend and doesn't say how can I help you or hey what's going on. She just looks at him, he tells her he needs his ball. She never says a word she radios it to Adam and walks away. This is not a great guest experience! My friends each said she was rude and couldn't believe her attitude. She knows my name because she knows I am a loyal guest. Then on Sunday when I arrive I see that Jenny is parked in the handicap space closest to the entrance. She does not have a handicap placard. I notice that the other spaces were taken and a car in the general parking with a handicap placard. This again is not ensuring the guest are delighted! So I notify the local police. They come and issue a ticket to her. She sees the ticket on her window and you would think she would move her car so that someone who needs the parking can use it, but that would mean she would have to care. She leaves her car there the rest of the night. Again not the best experience for the handicap person who had to park further away because of Jenny. I noticed that unlike the night before when she mainly stayed in the office the whole night that she was in the snack bar for a while with her long hair down, no hair net, no cap, and she was wearing shorts and sandals, which are not very safe and I would think not in the dress code. I have never seen any employee wear shorts and sandals. But here is Jenny the Regional General Manager showing her team that she is above all the rules. She is out of dress code, she parks in handicap spaces, she is rude to guest. The team knew that was her car. She clearly does not care that her team is watching her behave in ways which she would write them up for. But yet she does this. This does not provide a dynamic workplace. Instead it shows team members that she believes because of her title she can do these things. The maintenance of the building is part of her responsibility yet the ball return areas are held together with duct tape, I even had to ask for duct tape when my ball kept falling out of the ball holder. The two nights I was there you could not get a lid for your drink or a straw or a napkin and they were out of limes at the bar. This again is not a great guest experience. I had asked Jenny over a year ago if the ladies restroom could have a trash can in each stall so there could be a place to dispose of sanitary items, because people were leaving used sanitary items on the floor, in the seat protector holder, or flushing them. No trash can was ever provided. The restroom has missing floor tile and part of a pipe sticking up from the floor and it is a tripping hazard. The stalls don't lock. The air conditioning doesn't seem to work in all of the alley, it is really hot in there, people bring in their own portable fans to keep cool. The lights outside half are burned out. Bar stools are ripped and torn. The ceiling is covered in black dust. There is not enough staff to fix these issues or Jenny doesn't care if the center looks rundown, she is rarely there. "Who we are stems from how we act" is a core value of AMF/Bowlero. Because of Jenny and Jenny alone. I will no longer bowl there. I will take my business to another non AMF or Bowlero Center. I bowled my last summer pass game on Monday. read more

The location charges a Covid-19 admin fee! What is that?! Secondly they offer a Wednesday evening all you can bowl special for about $15. I had a free T-mobile Tuesday game to utilize as well. We really couldn't decide how many games and the gentleman said you can just pay at the end. Once we go to pay I asked if we could just do the special. The guy at the counter tells me no. You had to decide that at the beginning and it won't let me change it in the system. 4 games and shoes were $30. Totally ripped us off. We won't be back. Horrible customer service. The lanes were nice. No social distancing being enforced. They had hand sanitizer. read more

This place is hidden, but nice lanes. Not many bowling alleys in mesa, but this one was nice. We had a good time there and they have a good bowling ball selection. The lanes rolled pretty true as well read more

The staff at AMF Lanes could not be beat. I attended a work function of 12 employees and Brittney and Dallys made sure we got settled quickly. The ladies managed the entire bowling alley it seemed. Our 2 hour Groupon flew by and they extended our time without additional payment. They also were super prompt with the many pitchers of beer that we ordered. Our pizza order got lost in the shuffle but not to worry as they comply our pizza due to the long wait. Before we left they made sure we had all the upcoming dead and specials. We will definitely be coming back if these ladies will be working. They make the experience the best. read more

Great bowling alley. Alot of fun things to do if no lanes are open including pool, arcade games and food. Staff was super friendly and helped us with any questions we had and wait time for a lane. I would 10/10 recommend this bowling alley. read more

We are from out of town and decided to pop in to get some games in before Nationals and Carmelo had the best customer service and made the day very enjoyable. It's hard to find great service nowadays and so very grateful for his professionalism and friendliness. Will definitely pop in again when vistiing. I hope he knows how appreciated he is, he made our day! read more
