    So refreshing to find an old school, cash only bowling alley. My husband and I are so tired of paying $100 for 3 games/1.5 hours in this area. The prices per game was refreshing. Young kids working the desk and grill, but they were friendly enough and the service was alright. For 5:30ish PM on a fiday, there were bunch of kids that have zero bowling editquet, but they were respectful enough. Bar is stocked well and the bartender is super friendly! We didn't try the food, but we'll be back soon to hang out longer. Overall I think the lanes were a little too oily, but once you adjusted they were okay. We'll definitely be back again because you can't beat a place that's reasonably priced per game! Bowlero & T-bowl should take notice.

    Rude and arrogant cashier - told us to relax as he wouldn't want to take our answer that we didn't rent shoes ...sad

    On Friday 3/22/2024 we went bowling to Montvale Bowling Alley as we did for the last 20 years. From the start, the blond arrogant guy (he refused to give his name as he was constantly rude to us) was assisting us. We had bowling shoes with us and it took about three times to repeat to him that we do not need to rent shoes. Then when we were checking out, he asked us 3 times again about the rented shoes. Still he tried to charge us for one pair rental. We had to say again and again that no shoes were rented, when he just became rude and told us to "relax". Really?? That is you customer service attitude?? Then we asked his name and he wouldn't tell us trying to hide behind the desk so we couldn't take his picture. Well he knew that he was rude to us and his attitude was awful. Here we are - instead of relaxed Friday eve, we left shaking and frustrated. Shameful and sad representation of the bowling place by a bully and rude guy who thinks he is in charge of people not in service to them. Terrible experience!!! Want to note that during our conversation he wouldn't look at you (looking away) and smiled while being rude to us like he enjoyed it.. he made our night out awfully sad..

    This place is expensive for such a dated establishment. I guess the atmosphere is part of the experience. The CASH ONLY aspect is pretty inconvenient for reputable American business in the year 2021. The shoes we rented were in poor condition, the laces were broken and soles falling off. Be aware that there is no children's assistance ramp (see attached photo). But they do have bumpers. Furthermore the claw machine costs $2 and says "Game not over until you win a prize" but only allows you 1 attempt before it keeps your money. My child loves moving the claw an inch then hitting the button. They can find the time to put a crappy handwritten no refunds sign behind the glass but not remove the sign that's clearly wrong.

    Oh yeah the dadster!

    THE GOOD ----------------…read more+ Impressively large space consisting of a variety of arcade games, bowling alley anddddd batting cages! + The Humdingers Cafe is super spacious and has quite a large food menu that includes burgers, pizza, sandwiches, sides, drinks and desserts (ice cream). ++++ There are A LOT of tables and seats in the cafe. + They offer a variety of group packages for birthday parties, company events, special events, school gatherings, etc. + Multiple private party rooms in the back. + Private party we attended was very well organized and there were 2 private party coaches making sure that the party was kept on time for the activities planned. + Large private parking lot outside. THE NOT SO GOOD ----------------------------- - As expected, it's very loud inside with all of the arcade games, so don't expect to be able to have much of a conversation with people. MIXED THOUGHTS ---------------------------- = Nada. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = We came for a birthday party at 3 PM on a June Saturday and it was busy inside, but not overly crowded. The batting cages were occupied, but, once again, not overly so. The bowling alley was pretty much empty, except when our group was in there for 30 minutes.

The food is alight. This is a place that get pretty packed. My experience there was a unique one. I got a game card and loaded it up with $30 to use to play in the arcade. However most of the games weren't working. There were games that looked to be worked but it turns out they weren't. So basically any money I had on my card got eaten up and when I went to customer service they claimed to put it back but when I checked the balance it wasn't true. Perhaps it was the card but it was just a terrible experience. A lot of the people working seemed very inexperienced.

Hands down, this was one of the best group experiences we have had. First off, the place was very clean, the music was amazing, and the lighting really enhanced the vibes. From start to finish, the staff was outstanding. Super friendly, very patient, and extremely accommodating. They made everything hassle-free and easy, and because of them we all had an amazing time. Our hostess Bree was so sweet and truly made the night special while keeping everything running smoothly. Our servers JJ and Jessica kept us full and made sure nothing stayed empty for more than a couple of minutes. Joseph, our bartender, was funny, super laid back, and quick with the drink orders, which is exactly what you want at an event like this. The manager Shania oversaw everything and was simply amazing. Honestly, the entire staff deserves raises. They were on it and were the glue that kept everything together and running. Big shoutout as well to Jeannine in guest services who helped me book the reservation and gave excellent food recommendations. We did an event package and the pricing was very reasonable for what you get. We had 2.5 hours of bowling, food, premium bar access, and shoe rental included. We had a whole lane to ourselves, #57. We pre-ordered chicken tenders, cheeseburger sliders, Caesar salad, chips and salsa, mozzarella bites, and french fries. To finish the night, we had the freshly baked and fried donuts. All of us agreed the food was good. My personal favorites were the chicken tenders, the fried confetti donuts, and the mozzarella bites. Most of the group came from far away, and by the end of the night we were already planning our next event. Everyone loved it and said they would absolutely come back. I highly recommend booking an event package here or even just reserving a lane. There is also an arcade downstairs that we did not get to try this time, but I am definitely looking forward to coming back and trying it and ordering more items from the food menu.

This is an older, family run bowling alley that feels like the bowling alley you grew up going to. I really like that though and don't want to pay big bucks to go bowling. On Sunday's from 5-9:30pm it's $2 mania with $2 games and $2 shoe rentals. Can't beat that. You see some families there, some groups of teenagers, and some overachievers; the whole range of bowlers. The music is current and upbeat. Just loud enough for you to have fun and not feel like it's blaring. We had a great time and will definitely come back again. The reason they lose a star, though, is the food. I've heard the pizza if very good but they weren't running any good specials so we weren't inclined to eat there. Run some food and drink specials and I'm sure this place will have a lot more people coming through. The staff was super nice by the way!

It was a no frills alley but it was quite large with lots of available lanes (50 lanes in total!). They also have a small arcade when you first enter. I thought the prices were reasonable for the area. Definitely neighborhood and family friendly - great place to take kids for school trips and outings. Don't expect a clubby music scene or an elaborate menu of drinks or food (they had pizza and vending machines). I enjoyed the low key vibe. I would definitely come here for a date or friend outing. They're open til midnight daily with free bowling at specified times. Ask about their specials!
