NEVER GO TO THIS BOWLING ALLEY I want to talk to an owner we got the cops called on us because we did not get a refund. our reason for the refund: it took them 30 minutes for cheese stick ( they put the fries in the go box the melted into the put them in for so and when we went to show the lady at the desk, she snatched the box out of our hands and started calling us names, they would completely ignore anything we said to them, and then when we went to leave, they had a whole bunch of people surround us) read more

absolutely one of the worst experiences I've ever had at a bowling alley. Halfway through my bowling I that there were and gouges all over both my bowling balls from the ball return. Was told that they are not responsible for damage done to personal balls. Which tells me right there that they knew that their ball returns messed up people's balls. Then was told I'd be called by the pro shop and they would try to help me repair my ball or something. Never heard back from them 100% will never go to this place again. read more

We had a bowling party for 20 special needs adults. As you can imagine, it had its challenges but the staff was kind and helpful and welcoming. The group had a great time. This is a true small town place from the good old days with charm. Thank you for making 20 special people very happy. read more

How bout a negative 100...my daughter booked a birthday for my grandson and for the 260..00 dollar price tag we received assaultive behavior and several of the children present got to hear the owner cuss their mom...understaffed , Under cleaned, overrated...we ate filing a civil suit against the establishment and the owner. Do not encourage the owners behavior by patronizing this establishment... read more

If I could give a zero, I would. Mike and Stacie, the owners, are crooks. We took our grandkids to bowl. Paid $50+ for two hours. We ended up leaving after about 40 minutes. Only got through 4 frames. The problems were endless. 1st. OMG HOT! It appears they haven't run their AC in ages. They're definitely not effectively cooling the bowling alley. It's not surprising though, as the customer's comfort does NOT matter to the owners! 2nd The bumpers for the lanes were broken. Three balls got stuck in the gutter. 3rd The equipment did not work. At one point, all the pins dropped when the machines were setting up for the next bowler. The machine also cleared the before the bowler's second throw, but the scoring stayed on the second throw. When the next bowler came up, the pins did not clear and reset. CLEARLY the equipment is not synchronized. We decided that 40 minutes of not getting what we paid for was not going to work for us. We asked the manager (young kid) and was told that their "corporate" policy was to give gift certificates for a return visit, not a credit card refund. **What**??? Why would we come back to a place that is the most run down, piece of crap bowling alley, and do this all over again? The manager called the owners and my husband spoke to Mike. After explaining our issue, Mike said that we could take the gift certificate or leave! So, we left. I wonder if Mike is aware of people's ability to dispute charges with their credit card company. read more

Always a good, time great staff. Jordan and Noel are so attentive. Always do a great job! If you live in Cleburne do yourself a favor and stop in:) read more

Do yourself and your family a favor and don't spend your money at this establishment. We reserved 6 lanes for my son's birthday party. We arrived about 15 minutes early just to try and get settled prior to his start time of 3 pm. When we arrived the place was packed . I went up to the counter and asked a lady that I later found out was the owner/manager where we would be so that we could start getting set up. She throws her hands up and says " I don't know, I have 20 million other things I'm doing right now so you'll have to wait and I'll figure it out." I said, "Ok, well we have his cake so is there a place to put it?" She said, "Yeah, that table right there, until I can find you somewhere else." cut to 3pm, we are still standing around said "temp table" waiting to find out where to go. Mind you what we were paying for was an all inclusive party with decorations, a shirt, and a bowling pin for guests to sign. Nothing was done. I caught her again and said, "People are arriving, and we need to know what we are doing." She said, "Well, I'm trying to get all these people to move down to make room for you. How many people are here?" I said, "I reserved 6 lanes, and not everyone is here yet." She walked off and went to go get a big table to set stuff on and brought out the table cloth to try and set up. At this point it's 3:15 and all guests are there and waiting. She then brings out forms so all guests can sign in so they can start the pizzas, bring the drinks, and turn the lanes on. While I'm having all of the guests sign in and out their drink and pizza order in, she finds the big table and starts trying to put the table cloth and the plates on it. (At this point, everyone is signed in) when she sees one of my guests brought in a salad and a drink (her 10 year old daughter has food allergies and they dont have stuff she can eat), she stomps over to the guest and says, you can't have outside food or drink in here, you have to throw it away or leave. (Nowhere on website does it state no outside food or drink) My guest tried to explain that her child has allergies and they couldn't accommodate them so that's why she brought the food in. The lady rudely says the health dept won't allow that, either take it out or leave or I call the cops and have you removed. My guest takes the salad out to put it in the car. The lady then sees she didn't take the drinks, including a reusable water bottle so she goes over, grabs the water bottle, rips the drink cup from the 10 year olds hands and walks away. My guest was like that's my water bottle and takes it back from the lady. At this point I'm simply trying to get the lanes up because we have 15 kids that have now been waiting for 30 minutes I take the sign in sheets up to the lady, who is now saying that's she's going to call the cops. I said, "Can you just please focus on my son's party and get the lanes up and then you can worry about a guest and her salad. My husband walked up at this point and handled things 1 hour and 4 pizzas later and none of the kids have their drinks. My husband checks on the drink order 4 diff times. I'm apologizing to all of the parents because this is running so badly. Finally get the drinks at 4:30. One of the guests on their way out stated that they won't be back. The lady yells across the room, good I'm glad leave don't come back. At this point I have really had enough. I walk up to her and say ma'am, that was uncalled for and unprofessional. Your behavior has been ridiculous the entire time we have been here. She says I don't give a fuck, you need to leave and if you come back I will call the cops. She said you are making a fool out of yourself and get the fuck out. I said there are actual kids here and you're speaking like that? You're the one making a fool out of yourself. She then called me a stupid ugly little bitch and fuck off mother fucker. At that point I turned and left because how do you even respond to someone that is cussing you out in front of children?! She made my son and his friend cry because of her behavior. Verbally abusive behavior and not family friendly read more

Spencer here. I would suggest this over two of three of the alleys I currently bowl league at. One of which is a sports challenge league. I went bowling here with my mom, the staff was very nice, I see all these bad reviews and don't understand why. I bowl three leagues and open bowl a ton, when I fix my approach and timing to go pro, never have I ever met such great people in a center, these guys are super nice and great to talk to. Thank you for your help in providing a great time with my mom. I really appreciate it and I will definitely be back. When I go pro I will mention you guys on tv when I win. read more

Pin Center Bowl - Bowling Near Me - Cleburne, Texas

Food was nasty and had a long wait, bowled 2 1/4 games bc the lane get messing up and took forever to get serviced, still was overcharged and for all the games. Will never go back k read more

So... let me start where I started. About 1.5 months ago I got into bowing more than just a hobby. I've been actively working on my game and buying new equipment. This WAS my home center. I bowled about 70 games over a 10 day period. Spent a ton of money here. I noticed a bunch of things that I kind of dealt with because it was close. 1. Balls don't return and get stuck in the machine which puts marks and gouges all over the balls. 2. Pin resetting machine does whatever it wants. Resets all pins before 2nd ball. Doesn't reset at all. Gets stuck in "180" very often. (5-7 frames per game) 3. Scoring machine doesn't keep the correct score. I would say 80% of the time it's wrong. Says you don't get pins that you actually do. Says you get pins you actually don't. Not to mention it's an ancient scoring system. 4. The manager, Montana, is an alright guy but is horrible for this business. Brings his friends in at night to bowl for free. They are super loud. Super wild. Playing the jukebox on max volume and screaming at each other. Running back and forth. Im also fairly certain he is using the center as hub to sell weed to his buddies. 5. A few of the owners relatives work here which is totally understandable. However, one of the girls asked me how to make $44.85 in change. Asked which bills made up the amount. The owners daughter is the "manager" and runs around the bowling alley literally barefoot and pregnant. In sweat pants and just sits in the bar all night. I just dealt with those things in the name of convenience. However,last night (8-3-21) we hit the final straw. 8/16 lanes were occupied and the other 8 were broken. So we were in the pro shop getting a ball drilled. 2 lanes open up from the pro shop guys and he said we could have them. So I asked the girl at the counter if we could have that lane. She went to ask the manager and the manager said they were closed. It was 8:45. They close at 10:00. So my brother went to speak with the manager and that's when things got heated. He owners daughter started yelling and said he needed to leave. And her husband stood up and started a fight with my brother. So they went outside and we got between them to keep any physical stuff from happening. All while the owners daughter was yelling and screaming. They called the police so rather than leave like we had anything to hide, we stayed and waited for the police. Told them what happened and basically the officers told us that "this place is going downhill in a hurry and it's worth the extra drive to go somewhere else" Long story short, this bowling alley is going down the gutter. Pun intended. Hopefully new people buy it and make it great again. read more

I have never publicly complained about a business before, but this needs saying. This afternoon, we took our grandkids to the Cleburne Pin Center. While playing our first game, the music was acceptable and at a reasonable volume. During our second game, the employee blasted music that included extremely foul language through the speakers. Four of us complained about the language (he was clueless) and the high volume. The employee REFUSED to turn down the music, nor would he change the songs. Outside of a mother and her two little daughters, we were the only people there bowling. Apparently, the Pin Center does not care about its customers. We left and will NEVER give them our business again. read more

We bought 3 lanes and one lane wouldn't give the balls back. The score wouldn't move from the first lane. Ordered food and waited 2 hours. We complained to management about the lane and that we haven't gotten our food. We asked for our money back and the owner came out and said they weren't going to refund us. Plus threaten to call the cops so we left. Do not waste your money there. They are crooks. They really need 0 stars. read more

It was fun but in the middle of our game they made us move to an entire different lane across the alley and had to drag all of the balls we had just so the "pro" bowlers could have the spots next to each other. read more

Gets the job done when you need your bowling fix! Affordable prices. Lanes are nice and they have a good selection of balls. Not the newest or most extravagant place in terms of the design, but they've provided lots of fun memories for me and my family since I was a kid. They have a well stocked bar too, and pitchers of beer are cheap! The staff is friendly. read more

Came here to bowl with my kids. It was ok. The place is very run down. Tried to get some help but everyone that worked there was talking to each other and was not wanting to help us. Did not try the food. Will not be going back. read more

Pin Center Bowl is old and run down and some of the staff are very rude. But we really like to bowl so we've chosen to support their establishment over the years. Now they've implemented a new rule that unaccompanied teenagers under the age of 18 have to leave at 9 PM. My teenagers, who are very respectful well behaved kids, were asked to leave Friday night simply because of their age. They were not misbehaving or doing anything to give cause for this. Which seems counterproductive since it seems like the place could use as much business as possible. So, my family and friends have decided we can certainly take our money elsewhere and urge you to do the same until they lighten up on the no teenagers rule. read more

Worst customer Service!!! We just called Pin Center Bowl in Cleburne to ask if there were any early specials for bowling. The man on the other end of the phone said very rudely that were no deals regular price and immediately hung up on us! We never got to ask another question. In my experience if they are that rude to you over the phone, they will be that rude or worse to you in person. There are not very many bowling options out this way, after this experience I will gladly drive to ft. worth or Arlington to go Bowling. Here's a tip to the owners...just because your the only bowling place with in 20 miles you think you can be rude and treat people with disrespect! This is the type of attitude that puts you out of business! One day someone might open another alley and give you a run for your money..and guess what..they will succeed because customers go where they treated with common kindness! read more

It's a 16 lane, older bowling alley. We (2 adults and 3 kids) had a great time. All the equipment worked well. Prices where good.

This place has horrible customer service! They over charged us then refused to give a refund. The place is filthy too!

I have never left a review at any establishment I have ever been in but this one I will. I called and reserved 2 lanes @4:00pm to be available @7:00pm,understanding that it was last minute they insured me it was fine. GREAT! Me and the kids have dinner. Get there at 6:45pm and the lady explained it would be a few minutes. Was no problem we went into the arcade, played games while me and my fiancé go to get a drink, we stand there for over 20 minutes a waitress nor waiter never came so we went back up to the front after noticing our lanes are empty. While standing in line we over here the "owner" selling our lane to the people in front of us. I get her attention to tell her we had it reserved. Everything was fine, at 7:50 (yes she was with the people in front on me for over 30 minutes ) she takes my paper with my names and I explain to her I am not going to need lane 2 because I had to be somewhere at 10:00 so we were just going to let the kids bowl. She then gets very angry and tells me that "any real HUMAN would understand her being short staffed!!!" I told her I understand but that I wanted her to know she had lane 2 open for someone else she then begins to yell and say I need to back up or she is going to call the police on me!! I'm like wait? what? You called me up here to the counter the "owner continued to yell and threaten me with the police. I am a 5'2" woman that literally weighs 110lbs! The counter comes to my neck line. She was completely out of line with me and for absolutely no reason. And this is probably the reason she is under staffed. Poor poor poor management!!! If I could give a negative score I would. read more

Paid for 2 hours of bowling, 1 hour in we had already called service twice. We decided enough was enough, we were surrounded by others having problems so we decided to leave. We asked for a refund and was told no. We could have a replacement lane but who knew if that one would work, they already tried that one before. So we left and we heard them laugh as we left. So as far as supporting this business anymore that would be a no. Drive the extra time and go to don Carter's, you pay the same price practically. Very disappointed. read more

I called 4 days in advance and reserved 2 lanes for our Boy Scout troop. I was told there was no leagues and plenty of lanes. Then 30 minutes before out time I received a call to tell me that they only have one lane for us because they have a league nite. It was too late for me to change the activity. So I ended up with 8 boys on one lane. I complained to the manager. She did not care. I asked for a discount to make it right and was offered nothing. What horrible customer service. Avoid this place at all cost and drive up to Burleson. read more
