Great visit. Spencer Leslie at the front was a lot of help. Great atmosphere and fun bowling.

Friendly staff, good weekly deals and chill spot to bowl at. 10/10 will definitely be bringing my family next time I come

Originally we were going to meet up with my friend at the Garland location but she mentioned it was so packed they were recommending/sending people to Richardson/Addison locations. So since we were on our way we decided to drive to Richardson instead because Garland had a 3 hour wait! No thank you. Upon arriving at Richardson we ended up waiting in line for about 15 min. with only about 3 customers in front of us. Very short staffed and not organized what so ever for this type of offer! Best part of course was the free 1 hour bowling. I didn't even ask about the $5 free gift passes because too much was going on and just time passing by. This played part into the 1 hour bowling time too. Pizza is alright, definitely not worth $2/slice. $1 drinks were definitely kid sizes and again, not worth it. The kids had a great time and that's the reason we went, so a thumbs up for the free bowling offer. read more

AMF Richardson Lanes - Bowling Near Me - Richardson, Texas

house balls aren't in great shape and lanes malfunction frequently, seems unorganized

This place simply does not deserve the current 2.5 stars (July 2011). If you're entertained by glitzy, shiny things and want to get dressed-up to go bowl, then 300 is for you. If you couldn't care less which outfit you wear to the lanes, then AMF is more your speed. Pros: It's clean, SMOKE-FREE, well-lit, family-friendly (but with a full-bar to make kid's Bumper Bowl parties tolerable), adequate food selection and quality, and it can be an affordable way to pass the time *indoors* when it's 105 outside. Cons: Bowling ain't as cheap as it used to be. I underestimated the tab I could run up by TWO people in two hours: Shoes for two ($9), three games X 2 bowlers on one lane ($36), a pitcher of beer, margarita, and small personal pizza ($30). So, nearly $80? Geez, can anyone say, "Groupon?" read more

We came here on Sunday night with a large group from my church, First United Methodist Church Richardson. While I was hoping to snag a good deal, being in a large group, I was shocked to pay close to $30 for my husband and I. This covered two hours of bowling and shoe rental. While this isn't an awful deal, I was hoping to get a better deal for being in a large group. Our group ordered a few pizzas while we bowled. I was surprised at how good they were. Yum! All in all, I would probably come back on a weekday night when they are running deals! read more

This location is ok for Tuesday and Wednesday specials, but any other night, you're better off heading somewhere else. Currently they have Tuesday $2.88 specials for games, tacos and certain drinks. On Wednesdays and Fridays they have 13.89 per person unlimited bowling after 7pm and 9pm respectively. I've only gone on Wednesdays and they have a league that starts and takes precedence at 7pm. Once it took almost 15 minutes to get waited on when we were the first in line. That wait has only happened once, so maybe it was a fluke. My main issue is that most alleys won't put other groups on the same ball return with you to limit Covid exposure. This one will almost always put another group on your lane. The last time, they put a group of 5 in the ball return with us. This is sort of hit and miss, but there are other lanes that won't put someone next to you at all. Of the lanes I've been to in the area, the concession prices are highest here as well. I believe a soda is $3.50 or so - and it isn't a large cup. A nearby lane will sell you a pitcher of soda for $5. Lastly, this location is fairly old. It isn't an awful experience, but on most nights I'd recommend looking around. read more

This place cost more than $300 for 4 people on 3 games which took 90 mins. The service was shitty and to bowl for a few hours does not cost even near $100 at MINIMUM. I'd say F this place in the worst verbiage possible. read more

So, I went in yesterday with a group of friends and immediately gave my credit card so I could pay. After the night was over we were leaving the bowling alley and we were accused of not paying and taking one of the shoes. After going inside all of the shoes were there and the situation became very confusing. Being accused of theft is not something I take lightly especially if it is a false accusation. I gave it a two star because of the nice manager who helped us at the end but otherwise our lane broke at least 3 times and nobody came over to help us. If you are looking for a pretty much empty place to go to for bowling on a Saturday night last minute I would recommend. read more

I don't think it is fair to consider myself a bowling snob since we very rarely bowl...I'm just saying that I miss Jupiter Lanes! This place wasn't horrible. It wasn't good either. I wouldn't have been tempted to order food. The shoes and balls were all beaten up. The first lane the put us in was out of order. The people working there couldn't answer my 9-year-old's question..."What does AMF stand for?" The waitress made sure everyone in our party looked at the picture of her son's blue heeler named Bubba on her phone. The bumpers were either up or down, they didn't switch with players, so adults played bumper pool too. But still, we had fun. There are fewer and fewer bowling alleys these days, I guess we have to settle. Oh, the entertainment passbook has a coupon for buy one get one free games here. We saved $22 for a family of 4. read more

Having just finished several years of League bowling there we are never going back It has become a horrible place to bowl Horrible customer service the entire place is filthy dirty its disgusting how sad It's become sub par never again read more

This company adds a 'mandatory' 18% surcharge to food/drinks bills, without prior notification, then your server will ask you if you'd care to leave a tip. The illegal unauthorized is a tip. Kevin, the extremely rude and unprofessional Manager on Duty we contacted after noticing the charge (which looked like a Sales Tax at the time of the charge), stated basically 'Tough luck! We can charge whatever we want. If you missed the little sign, that's your problem, dude. Whatever. Feel free to go somewhere else.' Kevin will look great in front of the jury when we file a lawsuit against these thieves. Informing customers is one thing...outright theft from bank accounts is another. read more

Spent NYE 2020 here and had the best time!! All you can eat buffet and drinks didn't disappoint. Manager Cotten was the best! Entire staff extended great hospitality and service. We recommend AMF lanes in Richardson and will definitely be back! Happy New Year! read more

This was a good place for a bowling hangout on a Saturday evening. There are ample bowling lanes available and are decently maintained. We got the first lane so got the corner to ourself which was convenient. Our order of fries and beer was brought in pretty quick. Overall, it was a great place for a casual bowling experience and is worth the money. I will come here again! read more

Fantastic place to bowl. The college student discount on Thursdays is a great deal and we spend two hours here minimum. Food could be better but the staff is accommodating, friendly and helpful. Not to mention the music is always great and restrooms are clean. read more

Constant lane dysfunction and dirty ball returner. My ball had this brown gunk on it after every throw and the lanes had no oil on them. My ball was dry as a bone after two games. Nice staff tho. read more

Pros - Nice bowling lanes - Good location - Atmosphere Cons - Pricing - Malfunctions As any good competitor knows, you never back down fro a challenge, so when the opportunity presented itself I did not back down. A buddy asked me to come play him, and I had been to this location before but never left a review so I decided to do so. First thing is that the bowling lanes are very nice. Smooth and even, also can result in hilarious or hamrful slip and falls, so be careful. The location is in a relatively safe part of Richardson, and it doesn't have an unbearable amount of traffic that comes through. Easy to find literally off of the side of the freeway, and a few restaurants nearby if you're hungry. They serve pizza and other small foods that someone could have for a good time, or a party if bowling is the thing to do. Their location is very decorative and sometimes they have the glow in the dark bowling which looks very nice. Plenty of color and lights to liven up the experience and make it one to remember. The only major issues I had was the pricing for bowling. They don't allow players to be charged by the time so you're left paying for a game per person. Other bowling places definitely have this advantage over them. Another thing was the lane malfunctions, literally the handful of times I have gone here, there is ALWAYS a lane malfunction. The rack does not clean up all of the pins the right way, and when you push the manual button there are still sometimes issues. If you don't mind talking to the front desk attendant and getting help for the minor inconveniences, then you'll have plenty of fun here! go check them out read more

Great deals at this place and customer service. Could use an exterior makeover though.

To the lady who was at the counter on November 4th at around 9 pm, shame on you. Yes, I'm calling you out because I don't know what made you give us such attitude. When we walked in, we saw that there was a special on Tuesdays. We asked about it and she told us about it. Then, my friend asked if they still had the $10 unlimited bowling deal going on and she goes "I was going to tell you about that until you interrupted me." I thought it was a joke in which she would follow that with a "I'm just playing" or "just kidding", but she was totally being serious. Um, rude. Then as my friend was giving her his credit card to pay, she asked if he was sick. Excuse me? Aside from that very unacceptable instance, bowling here ain't bad. I honestly don't really bowl ever, and if I do, it's always been here, so I guess it's pretty standard. At night, the nights turn off and music starts playing so it's cool I guess. read more

I was invited to come bowling with some other Yelpers a couple of weeks ago. This place doesn't look like it's been updated in a while and it's kind of bare bones, but hey, it is what it is. Apparently Thursday night after 9pm it's cheap bowling. My portion for two games was like $4. Renting shoes was another $4. And pitchers of Natty light were $7. Yeah, we went there. Overall it was a good time! read more

If yelp allowed me to give negative ratings... This place is such a rip off. My sister called to ask for a few lanes to celebrate a night of my bday weekend and they told her they couldn't do that. Later that day we found out that a friend of ours had gotten two lanes reserved. We were outraged and tried to call again and get lanes only to no avail. But we were intent on bowling and just decided to go anyway later that night for their "xtreme bowling session." they told us thAt 8p they had a special that was $15 shoes + 2 hours of playing. We show up at 8 and were told at he counter that the special didn't start for another hour. We were ticked but decided to play a game until 9p. At 9 they announced the special was beginning and we moved to another lane bc more of our friends showed up. After our two hours were up we went to pay and they charged us per game telling us that we were supposed to have told them that we wanted the special. My sister and boyfriend argued that if they were going to announce the special how was anyone to know that we had to tell them we wanted the special (who wouldn't want to pay less?!). Needless to say service was awful an we ended up paying more than necessary. They ripped off my group of 15. The lady who served us our beer and food was nice but there is no wayi can forgive the way they scammed us. read more

I LOVE this place, I have been coming here for years. I am not a fan of the new 300 lanes or Main Event, this place is just bowling, pool, and a few arcade games. The BF and I continued our lovely date night here and decided "we're gonna rock we're gonna roll, we're gonna bop, we're gonna bowl, we're gonna score score score score scooorrrrreeee tonight!" (Grease 2 anyone? anyone?) After visiting the bar and getting the obligatory white russians to pay homage to the Dude ( yeah, I threw out 2 different movies with bowling refernces), we put on our bowling shoes and we ready for some friendly competition. Big ups to the bartender for my white russian, holy yummers!! I caught my BF sneaking sips of it every time I bowled. After 10pm, you can do "extreme bowling" where is is $20 per person to bowl as many games as you want, the shoe rental was included. Otherwise, it was $6.99 per person per game plus $4 for shoes. I know a deal when I see one. We bowled 4 games, acted a fool, jammed to some tunes (big projection screens every few lanes playing everything from Kings of Leon- shout out- to Lil John), and had an old school night of romance. It was perfect. You will not get overrun by little kids or teeny boppers here. "What do you do for recreation? Oh, the usual. I bowl. Drive around. The occasional acid flashback". read more

I only expect a few things from a bowling joint. Does this place stack up? Cold Beer? Check. Usable Bowling lanes? Check. Bowling balls? Check. Bad 80s/90s graphics after every strike and spare? Oh yea! Check check check!!! Plus, the value of this place when you go on Sundays and Thursdays...yea each game comes out to $1.67 after tax I believe. $1 10oz beers, $9 pitchers. I bowled 4 games yesterday for under $7!!! Geewilikers Batman!! WHOA!!! I was really surprised when I saw the rating for this place. Given, it's kind of old looking. As in...it looks almost the same as when I came here as a kid 16 years ago. But hey...It's a bowling alley. No frills, all business, eat pizza with one hand while bowling with the other. Why would you want to bowl in a super nice place?!?!? Give me the down and dirty thank you very much. I like to drop it like its hot. read more

Brought a group of 11 employees out for a team bonding and staff party. Jazmenda who works the front desk was awesome. I'll bring my team back because of how she treated us. You can't beat good customer service. Update: Even our server Josh was great!! read more

It's too bad that they charge 5.99 PER PERSON per game. The entire time we were there they played best of the 90s rap/hip hop. It was disgusting especially since there were young children bowling around us and they had to see half naked women on the screen and guys talking about sex. NOT family friendly. Bathrooms weren't clean either. Won't be back to this amf. Been to other AMFs that were better. Shame read more

I've been to this location several times and I always forget to come late enough in the day so they can turn off the lights and put the glow in the dark ones. We came here for the hubby's birthday and it was fun. The drinks were okay, the food was decent, and the staff was over all friendly enough for a bowling alley. My only complaint is that they played music towards the end, and some group took over our 2 alleys even though we were planning on playing a couple of more rounds. Staff should ask before just giving them away. Rude.. read more

Great bowling alley. We loved it. It is redone enough that it is clean and the stale cigarette smell that bowling alleys of 10 years ago had is not there. I have some nostalgia there, but it is really for the best. It is also a real all american bowling alley and none of the uptown fancy bowling alley world that seems to keep popping up. I loved it! read more

I usually came here on Sunday mornings when they have cheap specials (usually like $1.30/game) until noon - I also have my own shoes so I get a few hours of entertainment for less than $5. Didn't ever have a problem with prices (I called ahead) or food/drinks (Sunday mornings are for some serious practice!) or lanes (they were prompt if anything went wrong, which rarely happened.) Been here only once on a Saturday night, something like $5-7 a game. The bowl drinks are a bit sweet so stick to the beer. The atmosphere is def not 300, but as my coworker said "bowling is supposed to be divey" read more

Answer me this AMF haters... You really like the other hmm let's see three places to bowl in Dallas? Noo way! Let me review them for you...300 sux and costs $1000 for one game..USA bowl is in the stripper ghetto and I got my car broken Into there..and main event is hardly a bowling alley!!! To me this place rocks! Me and my bf go every Tuesday and im always looking forward to it!! Friendly staff, clean, good prices(if you don't agree youre not going at the right times!), and strictly bowling! The food is typical... I mean if you were expecting a filet and fine wine during your bowling experience then I don't know what to tell you, but where I'm from bowling is all about the pitchers of beer( and theirs are super cold!), greasy food, and loud music! Let loose people!! Oh and go at night its lights out black light bowling! Yay! read more

I went here last night and I had a great time. Everyone that was working last night was really nice. There were a lot of families there last night and everyone seemed to be having a great time. I like the music videos which made it fun to bowl. Bowling a can be very pricey so we were excited to see all the specials AMF has. We will definitely be back. read more

Don't go there on a weekday cause they won't have lanes available and they close at midnight. There are leagues playing daily. I wouldnt know about the Weekend but Call First just in case. The one thing that separates this place from plano super bowl is their cocktail service but it is slowwww... my friends and I always remark that they should just carry the drinks on a cart back and forth. At a bowling alley all people order are buckets and pitchers so why not take it all at once. Good lanes. Very cozy and friendly. Everything you would expect in a neighborhood bowling alley. read more

We came here on Saturday afternoon. First time bowling for the little ones. We got situated pretty quickly but on a Saturday there was No Pizza. REALLY? The lane broke about 3 times in the first game. So after two games we decided to leave only to learn that they got one guy working the desk and a line out the door. I've been waiting over 20 minutes and the line is still at the door. don't check in with your credit card and don't come on a Saturday afternoon. Never again. Go to a Main event or something it costs more but they staff better. Never again read more

Entire building was filthy from bathrooms to tables at the lanes. Staff at front desk was rude, they did not have size 12 shoes and, as mentioned by others, there were technical problems with lane that made us stop and wait. Our group did have fun though, so I must give a second star. read more

Horribly managed. Go to the front counter, one girl is working. 3 other workers including one with a black shirt just sat there on their phones and didn't help after noticing we were just standing there waiting for help. So rude. Can't believe people like that have jobs. We've been coming to this bowling alley for years and the workers have come and gone. Not a steady one. Learn some respect and help YOUR customers! Other than the employees the lanes are great ! They oil them and their not dry. read more

First time here and while the facility looks nice and clean, the alley appears to be poorly managed. I notified the front desk that there was no more soap in the men's restroom and she said ok. Two hours later, still no soap. Nobody seems to care. read more

AMF Richardson Lanes - No soap - Bowling Near Me - Richardson, Texas

1st. The little girl running the front desk was extremely rude. Rolling her eyes. Giving attitude for no reason . Then the guy running the bar and walking around, we asked for some drinks and she said he will get to it when he's not busy. Seriously we were the only ones in the entire place the whole first round and there were four of us. And they had been open a hour prior to that when we walked in the entire staff was talking drinking Starbucks. 2nd. It was 20 degrees outside and they had no heater. 3rd. You wouldn't get your bowling ball till about your third turn. Let's just say by far the worst bowling alley I've ever been to. I truly have no idea how they are still open. For anyone trying to go there. It was cheap but not worth it. read more

I like this place : It's smoke free, they have plenty of pool tables, and the equipment is usable. It's a bit expensive, but then again I'd like to know of a cheap bowling alley. read more

We came in here expecting to eat, drink and bowl. First time customer trying to find a place where we can go on a regular that opens late, this place opens late, great, we'll give it a try. NOTE if you look at all my reviews I only give 5 star reviews, I have never given anything less otherwise I don't even want to write one to hurt anyone's business. But from this first time experience I felt like I have to advise people how they operate here so you don't waste your time and drive out here like we did. We checked in and got our shoes before 11pm, we were advised we only have an hour so we went straight to the bar to order food and drinks. NO FOOD, not even bar food or finger food, yet they have menus and advertisements of food everywhere. So forget about it we just started bowling. Then the employee tells me "you can't wear your Nikes to bowl". Even though they weren't Nikes, they were my own bowling shoes! I tried to explain I don't mind paying for the bowling shoes I rented if that's your policy but I don't want to hurt myself in their shoes. She replied "well it's mandatory so if you can't wear them then it sounds like you should find somewhere else for your date"...really? I just said "ok I just won't bowl and walked away". Told my friends to keep bowling and didn't make a big deal out of it. They finish their game and wanted to leave after 1 game because of no food and I can't bowl in my own shoes. We go check out and the cashier charges me for my game and my shoes...wow. I stopped bowling after 3 frames because I couldn't anymore and they saw that but still try charge me for a full game and shoes I never wore. They have over 30 lanes and 4 was filled....Now I see why. Save yourself a trip, find another place that values customers that wants to spend money and have a good time. read more
