I came here Sunday evening to bowl with my girlies. We ordered drinks and food at the bar while we…read morewaited for every one to arrive because they said once we paid for bowling our time would start. I ordered the chicken bacon flatbread and Tito's with pineapple, this was around 6:20 PM. It's now 7:43 PM and I have YET to get my food. EVERYTHING the other members of our party ordered that came out was ice cold. I am at the bar inquiring about my food and they are saying the kitchen is severely backed up, but when I ordered there were not that many people here. And you can't tell me they are back there hand twirling pizza dough, so not sure what the issue is. I came to the bar to try to ensure that when my flatbread comes it is not ice cold after an almost two hour wait. It FINALLY arrived...and was ice cold. I asked the lady if they could put it back in the oven/microwave what the f**k ever they are using to make it, she agreed and said it would be ready in two minutes .she brought it out about five minutes later and it was ...kind of warm. I was over it at that point and accepted it because I was drinking on an empty stomach. The flatbread was decent but definitely not worth the 2 hour wait. Bowling itself was fun, the lanes were clean, no malfunctions and plenty of balls.

My bestie and I took our sons to Thunderbowl Lanes for a little post-Mother & Son Dance fun. It had…read morebeen a while since we'd been there, and while the kids had a good time overall, we were shocked by the cost--especially for parents who aren't even bowling. We paid $11 per child for an hour of bowling, plus $8 each for shoe rentals, which we felt was reasonable. But what surprised (and disappointed) us was being told that we had to pay $20 each just to be in the building with our kids--even though we weren't bowling. Our boys are six and five years old, so of course they couldn't bowl alone, and we couldn't just leave them there. It honestly didn't make sense, and it felt like an unnecessary charge. So for just one hour of bowling for two kids, the total came to $67--and that's before even touching the arcade. To be fair, the manager was understanding and did give us two $15 arcade cards, which our sons loved. That gesture was appreciated and helped soften the situation. We did have some issues during the game--balls got stuck, the scoring system glitched, and we had to wait for staff to fix it, which took away from our play time. Unfortunately, the system doesn't pause your session when this happens, so time was lost while waiting, and that felt frustrating given the hourly rate. One highlight: the cosmic bowling ambience! With the glowing lights, music, and fun energy, it's a really exciting environment for kids and definitely adds to the experience. In the end, while the kids had fun, the overall experience felt overpriced. I hope they reconsider charging parents who are simply supervising young children. For now, I'd say it isn't worth it not to bowl.

This review is for a private event held at Belmar Lanes--my husband's grandmother turned 90 and the…read morefamily rented out the bowling alley for her birthday. (Yes, she still bowls!) We were able to bring in catered food and had a nice area with a large table for gifts, cake, etc. It seemed like they had assigned us about half of the bowling alley; I saw non-family members on one side when we first got there, and others coming in as we were leaving. That left us plenty of space and four or five lanes to bowl in. Bowling and shoes seemed to be included with the rental. While it was a nice party, this place does have a couple of quirks. For one, I could not find a weight on any of the balls I tried. Isn't that kind of important information for bowlers? I had to just keep trying until I found one that fit my hand. Another weird thing was that they combined groups of bowlers and moved us across lanes. Like, I was bowling in a group assigned to lane 13, but the system would shuffle us in with lane 14 so sometimes you'd bowl on one side and sometimes on the other. This made it so that sometimes you bowled twice like one turn right after the other, and sometimes you sat and waited for a long time while everyone else cycled through. I really just did not understand the logic there at all; it did not seem to make the game go any faster or anything. Finally, Belmar has that classic bowling lane smell: decades of cigarette smoke seeped into the surroundings. Perfectly fine, nothing outstandingly amazing or horribly awful. A solid 3 stars.

However, it's a violation of Visa and Mastercard rules to charge a surcharge to a debit card. The bowling balls were plentiful to choose from and I believe you can pay by game or by the hour. I wasn't sure since I didn't pay for my games. However, the rudeness of the man at the register really was annoying. Better customer service skills are recommended. I had no other issues with any other members here. Food was within the norms compared to other bowling alleys I've been too. Overall not a bad place but not on my top 10 of places I'd go to due to customer service alone.

I came here with ten friends for my going away party and the gentleman at the desk could not have been ANY RUDER if he tried. We arrived at 11pm and he informed us he was closing at midnight "because it's a holiday and I feel like it" - even though it was the day after Thanksgiving and online hours said they were open until 2am. That was off-putting enough but we agreed we would just play one game since we were already there. Then he continued to make rude remarks to every single one of us as we paid individually. This man was the definition of Scrooge and should not work in customer service if that is how he treats respectful and friendly paying customers. I was trying to have fun with my friends on my last night in Michigan and he literally ruined our evening. I felt compelled to write this review because I've been to this alley numerous times growing up in AP and have never had an issue until yesterday. Seriously appalled by the disrespectful attitude we were given for no reason at all. If you don't want your enjoyable evening to be compromised I suggest you bowl elsewhere. What a shame.

This was honestly a terrible experience. The lanes kept resetting over and over again, and we had…read moreto go up to the front desk twice just to let them know. Nothing really got fixed. Then it got even worse--someone else's bowling ball somehow ended up in our ball return, which just added to the confusion and frustration. After that, an older woman with black and pink hair (A WORKER BY THE WAY) came up to one of us and started confronting him about not wearing bowling shoes, even though he wasn't even bowling. I explained that to her, but instead of listening, she started yelling and cussing at us for no reason. She kept saying we couldn't get a refund because "it's the rules," which made the whole situation even more uncomfortable. Thankfully, the bartender stepped in and handled things professionally. She was respectful, actually listened, and ended up giving us a refund. Shortly after that, the employee who had been yelling left the building. Overall, very disorganized and unprofessional. The only positive part of the experience was the bartender who helped resolve the situation.
