    Outside, parking lot was full.

    My friends from church were meeting here. I've seen some pics on Instagram about Cowtown Bowling so, I wanted to check it out. The staff was super helpful. I walked up to the desk and told them my situation. The girl explained, "They might be over in lane 15&16." She was right! What a relief! I didn't have to walk all over the Bowling Alley to find my friends. Then, I snapped a pic of the front desk and the guy was posing for the pic. That's was nice of him. Most people dodge pics. Lol It was a Friday night so it was crowded. It seemed like every lane was occupied. Lights were dim and pins were glowing. The crowd seemed to be enjoying themselves. Also, when you program your name for a game it will show your picture. I thought that was a neat feature. If,l were you. I would check out this hidden Bowling Alley in River Oaks. You would enjoy it!

    We came here because there was a really good deal on Groupon. For about $24, we got two games of bowling and shoe rental for four people. We came on a Sunday afternoon and there is no wait for a lane. They had lots of little kid birthday parties going on, but it wasn't too crowded. One cool thing they offer is bumpers to select people in your group. Maybe this has been around forever, but I had never had that option. Usually, if you want bumpers everyone in the group has to have them. You can pick who needs them in your group and they pop up for that player only! I that that was awesome! Apparently, this place is been around forever, it's definitely an older bowling alley. It's nothing fancy or nice, but for the bargain we got, we had a lot of fun. It appears as though they have a full bar, to help those who might have a lack of bowling skills! I would not be opposed to coming back.

    Love the bowling! Sunday 9am super cheap, they got breakfast on the menu, the entire place is super clean, the staff was very efficient, kind and quick! Definitely want to go back soon!! Please note that I recommend calling in advance to see if there's any bowling leagues games going on, during the weekend. They are very courteous and will let you. Loved it!!

    Dated bowling alley, but lower prices. Great value. Have bowled here about twice a month over the past four months.

    Great family place. Clean, a little loud with the music but over all good vibes. The grill is actually pretty good too!

    A laid back bowling alley, nothing too fancy. They have great lane specials, the staff are friendly and they have a decent beer selection!

    Pretty dirty spot. Not great prices, I thought it was pretty expensive for how run down the place was.

    This review is driven by the staff, everything else was a cherry on top. I absolutely must mention…read morethese three Mack, Eric, and TJ -- so helpful, attentive, and genuinely fun! We grabbed a few lanes to bowl with family and friends for my son's 5th birthday party. I stopped by the day before to reserve lanes and confirm that bringing balloons and cookies was okay, and the whole process of reserving and paying was super easy. When we arrived Saturday morning, everything was already set up and ready for us to get started. The staff stayed on top of our drinks and orders the entire time, and everyone had an amazing time. Highly recommend!

    We had bowling reservations and were excited for a fun night, but unfortunately this ended up being…read morethe worst experience we've had here -- and we've been coming since they first opened. We are a party of seven and planned to order quite a bit of food and drinks while we bowled. However, our lane kept fouling every single person who bowled. We found someone and asked for assistance and were told someone would come help. Thirty minutes later, no one had come -- not to fix the lane and not to take our food order. A very kind gentleman happened to walk by, and we stopped him to explain the issue. He immediately called it in and asked for the foul line to be turned off. We also asked how we were supposed to order food, and he told us a waitress would come to our table. As he started to walk away, he turned back around and offered to take our order himself and write it down for the waitress -- which we genuinely appreciated. We asked about substituting the brussels sprouts on a platter due to an allergy in our party. He radioed to confirm and was told it was fine, so we placed the rest of our fairly large order. A few minutes later, a young woman came over and said they do not do substitutions like that. We explained that we had asked for approval before ordering and that the gentleman had radioed to confirm. She said "oh, okay" and walked off. Shortly after, a blonde woman came over and identified herself as the manager. She said she was told we claimed to have spoken to a manager. Her tone felt very accusatory, repeatedly asking, "Who did you talk to?" We had to physically look around and point out the person who helped us. She then informed us he's "not even a waiter, he's a party host," as if that somehow invalidated the help he gave us. Ironically, he was the only person who was proactive and helpful the entire time. And here's the biggest issue -- no one ever fixed the lane. Even after all the conversations, it continued to foul every player for the duration of our time. Manager or not, if an issue is brought to your attention and it never gets resolved, that's a serious breakdown in management. With reservations and a group of seven ready to spend money, we expected better organization, communication, and service. This was easily the worst experience we've had here. The only bright spot of the night was the party host who actually stepped up when no one else did.

The atmosphere is chill and fun. The service was the best .

    I had a terrible experience at this Alleycats location with the manager and one of their employees…read more My nephew wanted to go rock climbing and after my sister signed their form my nephew was standing near the rock wall ready to be harnessed when their employee, who already seemed to be in a bad mood since we asked to use the rock wall given it was pretty slow that afternoon (at around 5-5:30 ish), came over and pushed him away from the wall even though my nephew wasn't doing anything. He only apologized once my sister told him not to touch my nephew and that he is disabled (autism) but he never tried to apologize until my sister confronted him. My nephew still wanted to climb as he wasn't aware what that man did to him was unjustified and wrong. My sister went to the manager and explained the situation but the manager (picture below: woman with short black hair and glasses) said that she was watching everything and began saying it was a parents responsibility to watch over ones child, my sister agreed with that and said that either way the man had no reason to push my nephew and that the correct response would've been to talk with her about it. The manager insisted their employee did nothing wrong. My sister recorded everything and told the manager this and also told her she wanted a refund. We went to the front desk and the manager came back with a completely different story now, she said that she spoke with her employee and that he said he never pushed my nephew. My sister then reminded her that she said she had been watching everything. She is a liar who didn't bother looking at the security cameras after my sister asked her to. She never bothered with any kind of apology even though her later statements imply she wasn't present at the time of the incident and she wasn't even sure about what had happened. This was overall a terrible experience that could've been resolved had the manager taken some responsibility and had not tried to justify the actions of a grown man towards a child with autism. This goes to show that they do not care for any child disabled or not. They don't train their employees to handle children with care and respect that they deserve. The employee didn't even know how to properly harness my nephew who despite all his excitement was standing still, he had to ask my sister to help him. From the manager to the red head employee, all of them handled this wrong and I will never come back. I hope everyone is careful with their children in their care given the manager was willing to defend a man who's first instinct is to push a child instead of talking to a parent. My sister was right next to my nephew when everything happened, I was sitting right there too and my nephew's only emotion was excitement even after he was pushed. Do better ALLEYCATS and employ better people for the safety of children.
