Reviews of AMF Saxon Lanes (Bowling Alley)

Tyler Barthelemy

This is undoubtedly the worst experience at a bowling alley I have ever had. The prices were astronomical on a Saturday early afternoon. The staff were very impolite, unhelpful, and didn't seem to care about their patrons. The service at the bar for soda and food took forever. The chicken nuggets were good and decently priced. The bowling alley lane didn't function properly at all and we had to wait for the desk worker to fix it three different times. He seemed like helping was low on his priority list. I honestly hope this place isn't as bad as I experienced, but I will never be back. No customer deserves this type of experience.

James Miller

Great food, friendly ..only problem I found is some leaning pool tables

The Saturday Bartender Cared More About Hanging Out With Her Friend Instead of Paying Customer We visited Saxons Lanes on Saturday, Feb 29 (Leap Year). We were there for the bowling, but of course visited the bar for drinks. The ONLY bartender scheduled that night was HORRIBLE. She was rude, slow, no sense of urgency considering she was the only staff present with a bar filled with 40+ and bowling alley filled with 50+; and on top of that, her friend was sitting at the bar all night and the bartender spent the time chatting with her friend while semi-slowly attending to customers. Every single time we went to the bar for drinks we waited at least 10 minutes to get service another 10 minutes to fulfill our drink order. You can clearly see that every customer at the bar was unsatisfied with the bartender. The employees attending the service counter for bowling were decent though. As busy as the bowling alley was at 9:30PM (right after league), the employees got us checked in right away; no major complaints there. However, the fact that they only had 1 bartender on staff and 0-1 waitress attending the lanes on a Saturday night where their “deal” was “All You Can Bowl,” shows the business’ lack of judgement in staffing their bowling alley on what I would assume a peak night. I am not even kidding- the “waitress” for the lanes NEVER made it to our side of the bowling alley. Which explains why we kept going to the bar ourselves. Back to the rude female bartender. Again, she was the only one on staff. Every time we went to the bar (take note, we went at least 4-5 times that night); there was at least 5-6 other customers waiting at the bar for this bartender. The bartender took her sweet time to make drinks; ALL WHILE STOPPING BETWEEN EACH CUSTOMER TO TALK TO HER FRIEND. (See image below). Never once did the bartender stop to tell her customers “I’ll be right with you.” She had no sense of urgency OR customer service. Taking her time, frowning the entire time she was serving her customers. I don’t understand how Saxons would allow someone with this kind of poor attitude be the server on Saturday night. (I must also note, after speaking to the bar’s manager about the way his employee treated us- as well as pointing out the fact that she is clearly just sitting there talking to her friend; the manager sees it and instead of asking her to help with the order- he allows her to just sit there and chit chat as if there weren’t paying customers waiting.) I am truly disappointed in this bowling alley- especially since this bowling alley is an older facility in the area/Twin Cities that is still in business. It’s a shame that management does not do a better job of keeping their paying customers around. We used to visit this bowling alley a lot 5+ years ago- never once had an issue with the service, bartender, etc… Its sad that when we chose to visit AMF Saxons Lanes for our Saturday night bowling- their service just turned us away- and ONE WORKER did it for us. We will not be returning and will advise others to avoid this bowling alley as well. Please learn to hire the right employees to serve your paying customers. One horrible rude employee can ruin it for everyone.

Donald Whipple Fox

What a nice place to bowl on a quiet Thursday night. A few lanes were being used under the glow of colored lights. The staff was very welcoming, helpful, and professional. The center was very clean and the prices were great! Party space can be rented and adult beverages may be ordered at the groovy bar. There is also a pro shop on the premises. There are many opportunities to join league bowling, as well as discount offers. This is a fun place for fun people to have some fun times.

Mike Lawson

Bowling bowling!

Kathy Jackson

Tipical bowling alley. Had fun. Choice if screen background. Good pizza and garlic parmesan fries.

Johnathan Jefferson

Great all around

Sheesh

Excellent customer service!

Kou

They finally got more arcade and a money card like chuckie cheeses

Mai Kou Lee

Very nice place to bowl and play pool. All you can bowl starts at 8 pm and goes till 12 so it's a fun experience

Aaron Schultz (Madrevar)

Staff was helpful. Food was typical freezer/frier fare. Smelled like stale cigarette smoke, no doubt from decades past when that was common.

Cristian Arias

Lots of fun

Savell Milton

Great place to have fun and just enjoy yourself

Deborah Tafil

Fun place, decent bar, many things to do if you just want to hang out or are waiting for a lane to open up. Will definitely be going back!

David Mattson

Good location. Free parking!

Tanya Evjen

I came to eat there and bowl. They shut down the kitchen a half hour early and wouldn't allow me to order my food. We prepaid for our bowling and the lane was shut off 20 mins before they closed not allowing us to bowl anymore. I tried to talk to the manager about our issues and she acted like she did not care and did nothing to help us. If I could give it 0 stars I would

Ry Guy

Suoer fun place. Covid restrictions vary depending on employees in each area but not too annoying or complicated.

Mike Hang

Love the service and bowling come join!

amanda hennings

Fun

Alfreda Boles

Lady accused my daughter for not paying and saying we got our fries when we didn't. We spent over$100 in this place, I know I won't come here no more. The only reason I gave 2 stars because the kids did have fun and we don't steal from no one.

Pakou Yang

Go here often. Better than others.

D Chill

Great service! However, the bowling alley is outdated and a bit dingy. Very quiet there the night we bowled. If you don't mind an outdated bowling alley, this was a good place.

Victoria Bayerl

Dark place for bowling, machines all worked great, some people said they got sick from eating there, I didn't eat.

Blade Troxel

It's a good place to go bowling with friends or on a date and has grate food

Michael Thompson

The atmosphere at the bar area needs better lighting, feels kind dark in gaming area. Not enough servers during bowling league nite .

ANTHONY DA PROFESSOR MILLS

Me kids had a great time

Bethany Moss

We usually bowl at other lanes because this one costs us over double for what we pay at several other bowling lanes. Normally we each play 3 games, get an appetizer and 1 mixed drink each and we have never paid more than $35 for everything. We went to the Saxon and played 3 games each, shared a soft drink and shared an appetizer and we spent over $70, $40 alone was bowling and that was not including shoes as we both have our own bowling equipment. The chances of us returning are extremely low just based off the cost. Its a nice bowling alley, the customer service is great and we had loaded fries which were phenomenal but the price is ungodly and frankly very disappointing considering it was closer than where we normally bowl and it's much more updated looking.

Sarah Mathre

I love bowling here.

Nancy Yang

Service was super slow at the bar. Everything was great.

SeongMo “Seongmokim” Kim

We had a bday party here for our son. The only alley that had bday packages without rigid participant requirements. Included lane time, show rental, food and a bowling pin for the kids to sign for the bday boy/girl. We had some Additional ppl show up who wanted to bowl as well and they were super flexible in accommodating. They withheld renting lanes next too us as long as possible to give us some privacy. Food was actually really good. Chicken tenders and pizza were way better than expected. Who serves chicken tenders at a place like this, included? Arcade was reasonably priced as well. All the staff was incredibly nice and accommodating. We will definitely be back and highly recommend. Hopefully your experience will/was similar.

Nicholas Torntore

Lanes are average.

Heather Ann

Tried to give the staff the benefit since we were here during a tournament but service was slow no matter where you went in the lanes.

Justin Ledo

Had the place to ourselves

james thompson

To have a good time there

It's a bowling place.

Alan Bellanger

Good clean family bowling. Friendly service. Usually find a coupon to discount the bowling. Food is a bit pricey.

Nick Pearson

Good bowling

Felicia Coston-Jackson

A fun Saturday night with some friends. Friendly staff, good food although a little bit pricey.

Ms Queen Ofitall

Very spendy, not a lot going on in here

Dylan Strub

There must have been a management change in the last couple years or something of that nature. The place looks nicer and the staff is a little nicer. Not to many deals on bowling though.

chaz miller

I bowl here twice a week and it’s my favorite place to bowl. Casual games on Saturday and league on Sunday. The food is great and priced fairly well and the lanes are always clean.

Dave Paquin

We were there for a bowling tournament. Waited 1 hour for food, and had to cancel it. A group next to us waited 25 mins, got their food, and it wasn't very good. Poor service.

L Decker (LisaD)

Really great service from the counter staff and server, not TO busy especially welcoming for a family or group.

Tascha “Baby T” Zapata

Mailao Xiong

This place is horrible! My family and I went there today at 3:00 pm and they said there is only 1 lane less so we have to wait till 6:00pm to get two lanes,. When we come back at 6:00pm, they said that we have to waite till 7:30pm. We waited till 7:30pm and they wouldn't get us any lane. This place is just a waste of time. Worst experiences ever!

DC knox

Its funny was there a few weeks ago ordered fries while friends were bowling cook started eating our fries before bringing them out..same thing this next time only the counter person starting eating oh fries...very sad..

Dawn Nugent

Very nice bowling lanes. Service at the bar was good and prompt. Its a little dark in the building but the atmosphere was decent.

Jeffrey H.

Apparently bowling leagues run the alleys during the week, so god forbid you want to go after work with some friends.

Bryan Runyon

Staff was not very friendly, pizza was not good. Bowling was cheap and lanes all worked properly.

Xieng Eng Lee

Good place to bowl and karaoke. Good food too.

Nice local lanes, fun and casual.

kaleenaboo kaleenaboo

Pizza was nasty, paper plates were dirty, pop was flat, bit the game was fun...Jo problems there

brandon smith

Clean, well maintained full bowling alley. Reminds me of what a bowling alley was before all the lazer tag type activities started being added thg to the lanes. Plenty of open lawn lanes even at the last minute the middle of a Friday night

Cindy Kilgore

I like this place overall and have gone back. Food is a bit pricey. Good deals during the week.

Adam Hagen

Mike, the front desk guy, was so nice and helpful! And our server was on point! Flaherty's was horrible! Terrible customer service... Came to Flaherty's and they made up for the whole fiasco!

Monica Byron

Saxon's is a fun place to go with family and friends. Staff is always friendly and yoy get a good pour on drinks! As a league bowler, I prefer other houses, but that's just my preference- others like the house!

Lisa McDaniel (Odegaard)

Staff is helpful and nice. We had a great time.

Lucky Alvendia

Cool

Christopher Pate (Champ of the day)

Ileana Ortiz

Steven R. Was so patient with me and my 2 different methods of payment hahah it really added to our fun impromptu date night

Gina Jackson - Logan

Kids bowling competitions.Food looked good.

Older lanes but friendly staff!

Thorn Divination

Good lanes and speedy polite service

Yer Xiong Minnesota Tete Houedakor Minnesota

Nice place. Friendly services. Took my kiddos there yesterday to bowl with my sisters and brother.

Big Chungus

very nostalgic place

Nicholas Langenfeld

Used a Groupon and it went through no hassle. They have half sizes in shoes. A bar and other food. You can bring drinks to your lane and bartender would check in on you/get refills for you at the lane. Wasn't that busy when I was there. Would definitely come back for the other activities like pool and darts as well as more bowling.

Stacy Welle

Good place to go bowling. They are doing the best they can to stay safe with Covid.

Paul Thorson

Nice place to bowl

Sadie Ladeaux

Good vibe, good and service

Renee Elden

Good food, good drinks, good lanes, great time

Jason Brown

Friendly staff but the lanes are a bit outdated.

Frank Brooks

The venue is a little bit dated, but it does what it needs to do. The score tracking hardware was probably made in the 90's or the 00's, but it works just fine. There are plenty of lanes and in the off-season there are always many open. The cocktails leave something to be desired, but the beer is beer. We were also present for the cosmic bowling which certainly changed the atmosphere dramatically.

Geneka Jefferson

They dont even have enough ovens to make too many pizzas at one time one of the staff members got smart with me BECAUSE they made other ppl pizzas before mines when I ordered before them when all i wanted was my food will i return there probably not

KOU IZZLE

Fair service and decent deals.

Andrew Mosenden

Very unique bowling alley. The oiling patterns being changed is great for training if you plan on tournament bowling. Good people, good fun.

Ka-Lia Xiong

Great place to take kids.

MX XT

Friendly staff, clean, lots of bowling balls to choose from and nice bowling area.

Nai Seik Blai

Good

Teresa Marquez

Fun, chill place to hang out. Amazing pretzels. Bartender Katie is awesome. Love it there. Good vibe.

Jonathan Olson

They need some updates.

CAPORAL RICHEKADOR

Very nice place

Sunflower Gaming

Great service #1

Carrie Rivard

I mean... it's typical bowling alley. Kids had a GREAT time at a birthday party there.

Brandon Lambert

Standard old school bowling alley. Lanes are in good shape and loaner balls are fine. Bathrooms could use a little remodeling. Bar is fine, ok selection of beer. Standard bowling alley fried foods

SrHuevos

Great, well kept lanes. Very good food and friendly staff. Great place for a bowling league and to go just for fun.

Sheils

Clean and friendly customer service.

MedicB142

Lanes are decent but the service and whole experience is 5 stars all the way!

Theodore Culbertson

If you enjoy bowling, join a league here. You get ball(s) upon completion. Also the discount you get for all AMF locations is incredible. Highly recommend.

Mason Zollner

A pitcher of soda was 8.99 and the main guy was making remarks to our Lady friend also told us the prices would be 4.49 for the pitcher but gave us a buy one get one free bowling I want to also add that when we called in ahead they said it would be $5 for the first game and shoes and then $1 for every game after that, we're not informed this was for every person, I would like to add 1 final thing as we were leaving they said racist remarks saying that when there at baseball games they try and spot the first black guy. Not pleased

Adan Salcido

Bowling deals 5/5, food 2/5

Mz. Livinglife

Me and my team had a great time

Andre A Lewis

Love this place

Jerome C

This place struggles to have food and even silverware in stock. So if you are coming here and looking for a bite while bowling, better be prepared to eat elsewhere beforehand.

LoW Lu

If you need anything ask for Nick at Saxon. He’s been in the bowling industry for years. Great host for bowling tournaments, and he keeps us bowling through out the year. Awesome place, close to home and always friendly.

Mai Herr

Good place to chill and hang but bowling is kinda pricey. Cheaper than most places tho! Still love it here!

MacTerry Gbojueh

Decent prices.. And a lot of fun people

Sarah Montgomery

It's a nice bowling alley with couches at each lane, with the balls' weights clearly marked on the balls, and good food. It's a fun family outing.

David T

Nice quit place for family bowling

Bob Stanke

Not as nice as Flaherty's. The bumpers for kids are not automatic, so either you have them up the whole time or not at all. Also, when did bowling get so expensive?!?! Six kids, two games, with shoes... $100+??? Wow. Shoes alone are $5 a rental. Bowling will eventually suffer the same death as golf if they don't lower prices.

Willv

Good place to hangout, but the buffalo chicken was a little bit underwhelming, they were way too small.

Christopher Kopp

not a bad bowling lane except they really need to figure out how to let the summer pass go later in the day then 8 pm.

Melanie Walls

Came in for a few quick games with the fam. We enjoyed ourselves. It's a bit dated but you can still have a good time.

Lily Mazon

The cheese pizza was good and the drinks were good. I had the peach on the beach and it was a cool twist to sex on the beach. Staff was very friendly. ????

Troy T

We used a Groupon for $20 for 2 hours of bowling. Honestly I don't think we will come back. The food is very limited and awful. We ordered nachos and not by choice. They had no real options for a meal. The nachos were awful. The gas station has better nachos. They had a mixture of fake cheese and non melted shredded cheese. The bathrooms were absolutely disgusting. There was feces all over the toilet seat and on the wall. The trash cans were overflowing, the hand dryer didn't work, and nothing was touchless. When we were leaving, we tried to use the hand sanitizer dispenser by the exit and it wasn't in operation. I would somewhat understand if it was really busy, but half the lanes aren't even in operation. The bar had one table being used and there was enough staff available to check the bathrooms and dispensers. Given how extra careful everyone has been since covid started, I don't understand how this business is even in operation. Management needs to get things together here. I don't see how we can ever return this bowling alley unless things change drastically. They got 60$ out of me, maybe they can use it to hire some cleaners.

Teresa Diaz

Not good food

Bleys Zimmermann

I’ve had good and bad experiences regarding staff here but mostly bad. If you’re a newcomer or just in town visiting I’d recommend going up the road a few minutes to Flahertys.

Kaelie Yang

Great atmosphere, great service. They offer a good special deal for bowling. The staff are all so kind. Will definitely go back.

Baller Dollarsign

Good Place To Hangout Fun Forsure But Definitely Not For Food Reminded Me Of School Lunches in 2008????????????

Brittany Patterson

I love the staff

twitch snke

It alright the bowling lane is too far but the ball are good.

Warren Charwood

Bastag Xigon

Nice place nice offered good game ????

Afewerk N

This bowling alley has lots of sporting activities to enjoy including bowling, pool tables, bar and grill.

Shanon Celmins

Great time!!! Havent been bowling in awhile!!! Pretty decent pricing too.

Brennen Wonka

Good pizza, good cocktails - cheap bowling most nights. Food is pricey (relatively), but its got more flavor then the standard place and the drinks are always on-par. I had three specialty cocktails, a large pizza, nachos, and five games of bowling for 100 bucks, so not bad! Def would recommend taking the kids here. Good place for both the parents and kids to enjoy some family time together (or watch your kids bowling while drinking if that's your thing lol)

Marissa

They were really mean to me and my family. Some little girl stole a game card from my niece.

Ok Jswish

great staff, good bowling #1

Harry Peka

Love this place still a great bowling alleyand bar also great food choices for everyone

SoupBone _22

Great workers. Person at front desk is a wonderful worker. If i could give this place 6/5 stars I would!!!

sugarcutie Walker

Fun !

HMONG PRINCE

Bartender is really cool. Lots of space for 4 people in 1 lane

B B

Kinda shady but great prices

James Anderson

Better call ahead to see if they're even open. Online and even through their phone it says open at 9am on Sundays. We showed up at 1030 and it was locked up tight...what a joke. So much for a birthday bowling day there.

Mina M.

The service needs improvement. I paid at the front desk for a bowling lane and shoe rentals when I first entered the building ($98 for 5 people for 2 games). We ordered our food and our drinks. They brought out our food but not our drinks. We gave them the benefit of the doubt that they might just be busy. We notice other people's drinks were coming out. Went to asked the person who took our drinks and he said he forgot about our drinks. He came back with 3 cups. We went to close out our food tab, the same front desk guy charges me $180. He charged me again for the lane and shoe rentals ontop of the food. I informed him I already paid when I walked in. Showed him my receipt and the bar guy reviews my receipt and then removes the charges. This is crazy. I did not even get any apology for forgetting my drinks and messed up my drink order (ordered a pitcher of drink yet he only brought me 3 cups). Yet still no apologies for their errors. Wanted to support them but with this kind of service, we might not be back. So disappointing.

Bonnie Eiss

Was there for a tournament and the service was spectacular. Top- notch.

David Wiatros

Friendly service. Great place to bowl.

Yia Thao

Katie has been our awesome server during leagues! We look forward to her great service every time we visit the alley! #bestcenterever

Scott Martinson

Katie is the best server at Saxon Lanes. She is very attentive and ensures my glass is never empty.

Barbara Renn

Was there for the State tournament server's were great.

Nicole Johnson

Very good customer service. Good food. Great place for celebrations!

Jayee Vang

Everyone at Saxon is super professional and friendly!! I would recommend Saxon to everyone who wants to get out and enjoy some bowling, food and drinks! #bestcenterever

Matt H

Cool place

Lois Walkowaik

Service poor, took over an hour to get food. Food disappointing, cold, small portions Prices high. Restrooms in poor condition. Do not plan to return.

Troy S

A great place to bowl. While not as modern as other alleys in the cities this place has a good bowling alley feel. The prices are right, the staff is kind, and they aren't overloaded with gimmicks.

Michaelava h

6 bucks per game per person. nice way to spend the evening

Cole Dupre

Love these lanes and Jackie A is an amazing waitress

Susan

Had a. Birthday party for 8 eleven year olds. The registration was easy the manager was great and I feel like it was a good value

Susan Rivera

Stopped in to Pro Shop looking for shoes gentleman was very helpful. Haven't bowled there yet but will definitely be back to. Clean. On line specials look good.

John Johnson

I am encouraging anyone to use this bowling alley

Carvel Clausell

A great place to go with family and friends

Christopher Kluempke

Customer service was dreadful. They were understaffed and all employees showed their bitterness with not having help.

Kelsey Hill

The staff here was incredibly rude. I brought my family (adult and kids) here last night and the whole vibe just felt off. It felt like we weren't wanted there. The cashier was kind but was quite new so he wasn't sure what he was doing. The manager with the pony tail was rude and just wasn't friendly at all to us. He was quick to smile and help other customers, probably his regulars, but completely ignored us, didn't even say hi and didn't seem to want us there. Was very dismissive of us when we were trying to explain the package we bought. The bartender girl with the blonde hair also had the same vibe. She was rude, kept questioning how many cups we needed. There was 12 of us in that group. I asked for two pitchers of water with 12 cups and she kept questioning if we really needed 12 cups. Ummm... hello, you want us to share cups? Smh. What kind of service is this? A terrible one. I've been coming here for years and thought it would be good to bring my family here based on all these recent friendly reviews. I guess not. It must be their friends and family giving the reviews. Will inform my friends and family never to come here.

Adam wood

Fun and clean

Kenda Lang

Great for bowling, but no candy machines or pop machines, food was kinda spendy!

Carl Otto nyquist

Bowled state here. Kitchen was short staffed, someone didn't show up. Food was great. Service was excellent.

Beverly Sutherland

Great deals on bowling

GJ Turner

Great place..

Kanitra Walker

#1 Greg was a wonderful host. Me and my friends had a ball at their lanes

Stephanie Spalding

Awesome lanes! Love the arcade and bar too.

Kenji Xiong

Horrible service from JYM H. Games are over priced. Bad customer service. Do not recommend if you’re here to have a good time with family.

Robert Miller

I bowl there and the food is good.

Chelsea Funfar

They have remodeled since I’ve been here (about a year ago). This is a great place to bowl, awesome service & food. I only rated this a 4 out of 5 because since going under new ownership they cut the karaoke ???? on Friday/Saturday nights. Bring it back and I’d definitely recommend this as a 5/5 place to bring your friends.

Steven Bryand

I had a good time at Saxon Lanes. I came on early and there was noone else was there yet. It was quite and very relaxing. The counter person was very helpful and i was able to get. 3 games of bowling and a medium soft drink very quickly. I had a good day there.

Chris Tarnowski

Great place to bowl ! Wonderful drinks and great food ! #2

Sher Lee

Saxon is our no. 1 bowling joint in MN. Always a great time with the kids and adults. GM Nick runs the place like it should! Great job Nick!

Larttro

Bowling is a dying sport .it's to sad

Cindy Gray

Up there for a bowling tournament, burgers are good

Karlesta Mays

Love the chicken wings

josh edwards

Bartender named katie was great! Pool needed some chalk.

David Graham

The people make it easy to be there

Matt Wittman

If you get lucky and find yourself here when a certain cook is working then you must enjoy the boneless wings! Highly recommended with the honey bbq.

LeeAnn

Nice place. We had a good waitress.

Children's Ministry

Nick is great! He seriously makes this place worth coming to over and over again. Bowling: Balls are stored in one area. You have to walk them to your lane. Food: Not as expensive as expected, but just average in taste. Arcade: There are around 10 games. We don't care for most of them but we love the five claw machines. We come play more than we should. We've had drinks here, played pool and darts. There's a little bit of everything, which has made it a family favorite spot to spend time.

mary

Staff are nice, clean and resonable

Dave Hewitt

Service was slow and forgetful. Drink prices were high as well as food prices were high for the portions. Handful of fries for $3.19 upcharge to $8.99 chicken tenders.....

Bonnie Eiss

No waitress for a large tournament. Tables were a mess. Sticky spill on chair. Lanes were nice though.

Wayne Robinson

Too many fights a lot of people getting beat up but I love that type of environment ????????????????????

Ryan Ogle

State Jr. Bowling Tournament: Very freindly staff, nice lanes, good food.

Kellie Mcfadden

Had a great time..Will definitely go back

S Vang

Rude owner. Place was not even packed and he had the audacity to give us attitude when we asked for 2 lanes nicely. Plus the bathroom is filthy and disgusting.

Brenda Dall Manning

Large clean and smooth!!

Chris Lee

The people & the food are FANTASTIC!!

danielle sorensen

Filthy place. Food was not very good. They needed more staff on!

Thomas Greenhalgh

Need better wait staff

Joe C

almost 200 bucks for 3 adults, 1 teen to bowl two games and eat some nachos, fries and a couple of mozzarella cheese sticks.

Ginger Mitchell

These lanes are so bad. Not worth the time.

Dorene Collins

OK OK....

Sam Collova

Not impressed no lie

Clare Kelley

Typical bowling alley with great pizza and wonderful times!!

Aicha Carter

The manager there was AMAZING!!!!! He made sure for my daughter's birthday party we were taken care of and went above and beyond. Would definitely recommend this place to someone and will be going back again. I think his name was Tyler

Rick Solum

Restrooms smell, not enough staff working, scoring problems on alleys and bowling balls not returning.

Stephanie Oleson

It's a close bowling alley that has a large league for bowling! If you aren't into just bowling they also have pool tables and darts! The parking lot is a pick up and drop off location for some of the local casinos too! Saturdays and Friday nights are busy but never too bad. We are always able to get a lane without waiting

Andrew King

Great place to go for some fun, good prices and decent bowling balls and shoes. Lanes aren't necessarily the best taken care of, but workable. Lane next to us kept getting the sensors on pins wrong and they had to remove both lane bowlers to check. Food and drink is available, a bit pricey, but worth it. Service might be a bit slow though.

RB C

I haven't been bowling for years. The girl taking my money for the lane and shoes couldn't explain to me AT ALL what I was purchasing. I was so confused and she really couldn't help

Dean Joy

Nice lanes, helpful staff, clean, cold beverages Will be back

charles b

Well waxed lanes and good pizza!

Doug Blair

Bartender was slow

Kasey Heuschkel

Our first time here today and it was lovely! We reserved a lane and had our 5yo with us. Because we didn't want bumpers, but knew our kiddo would, they let her have her own lane at no extra charge. There only appeared to be a couple people working, but the service was fast and friendly. It was organized and clean and we will definitely be back!

Joel Mueller

Small-town feel

Roderick Douglas

Fun place...but for pool, it's cheaper to go down the street.

jessica quiet

Quiet and peaceful!!!

allen ruter

Nice facility and good food

Lane Lindstrom

Attendant at the counter was slightly "out of it," but not disrespectful at all. They have black lights they turn on at night for cosmic bowling. The bowling lane we used was having issues detecting which pins were knocked down and the reset mechanism locked up on us and required us to contact an employee to fix.

Gary Laskowski

Good.

Madison Milton

Fun place to bowl. We bowl here with the Special Olympics and they treat us great.

Andrew Befort

Too Much Oil on Lanes, but Perfect Atmosphere and Urban Music!

Aaron Trnka

Great Time!

jamison friendt

Bowling was great, food good just the pool cues sucked. For what you pay to shoot, they should stick some money back into the cues

Mama Bear

Very nice place, friendly staff, I just love to bowl

Alan L

Don't bother 4 food

Trisha Chambers

Went there last month and played pool. Place was clean, front desk person was really nice and still took the time to ask us how we were doing even when it was busy (we got there at around 9 on a Saturday so there were a lot of people), the bartender was sweet. Want to come back but they need to talk to people who walk around with no masks and tell them to put one on.

Tim Kallevig

Cool

LaTonya Cannedy

There was only one guy on duty, but he handled his business like he was three different people. Checking us in n, making our food, and served us our drinks.

Lara Thao

Great customer service and a great place to hangout. I would definitely come back and recommend it to my friends and family.

Ethan Budd

Very busy

deb Crandall

Nice location

JoAnn Anderson

After being cooped up two days with rain my grand kids needed some fun. I, my daughter-in-law and the three kids went here on Tuesday after work. The price is cheaper than a movie, the staff was fabulous and my grand kids got to fine tune their sportsmanship skills by learning to take their time and celebrate each others successes.

Jerry Sieve

Good place for bowling league

Gerrie Vandenboom

Nice people

Cheryl Hall

Fun place to go with the family had a great time everyone was so nice lots of fun the staff was extremely friendly the food and drinks were great

Michelle May

2021Bowling tournament during COVID was here and lanes were nice and challenging. I wanted a Baileys coffee, they had no Baileys. I asked for regular coffee, no coffee... really! Not a big variety of liquor. They said stock was low because of COVID. If you want make money you have to have more available.

Steven Barbee

Broken pool sticks, Broken darts, not sure why these have not been replaced but very annoying indeed

Virginia Bjerke

I was at a usbc meeting, the lanes were closed. Its an old establishment, clean and orderly.

Chou Xiong

I used to come here often...... but once the workers left (mk and jim)... we left too.. i came back to try this place again and im very disappointed... the bartender has no credibility and the worst customer service. Don't waste your time here.

kathy Kindle

I was told no reservations needed for 2 people and when we go there there was a waiting list about 2 hours

Carrie Dietz

Katie is the best server ever!!!

Toulong Yang

Nice bowling alley. The lanes were in good condition and there is alot of room to sit and watch. The game room is pretty decent too.

Robin Boyer

Pizza was disgusting, creepy kid in the kitchen brought us dirty paper plates and napkins to go with it...Won't be coming back

Tyler Daniels

Weekend bartenders are nice. They need better mask policy then we can change to 5 stars

Christine Wilson

Kind of a hole in the wall

Kou Lee

They finally got more arcade and a money card like chuckie cheeses

Cher Lee

Great Service #BestCenterEver!

Erika Hawkins

Great place good wings nice staff

Kristy Sease

Not the cleanest in the bathrooms. However, after reporting a mess in the bathroom...it was tended to promptly. Overall friendly environment.

George Matsumoto

Went for open bowling. New scoring system, and settee flooring and seating.

Jasmaine Jenkins

I love this place. It can be a bit expensive. 2 games of bowling for 2 people including shoes is 30+ dollars and they serve food. You can order drinks but the drinks don't seem to have much alcohol in them

Cynthia vang

Workers reserve lane for their people when it says first come first serve. Was told we can't bowl until league was over. After an hour of waiting after 8 when league is supposedly done, we were able to get a lane. Apparently the people they put us next to were already bowling 3 games in and they weren’t part of the league... ???? At the end we asked the worker why that was and they just laughed. Bad place to bowl, fine place for pool and arcade

noah pilgrim

Great place but, kind of run down.

Betsy Ailport

Since they remodeled, it's a fun place

Micah Harris

Went there for a work party for Matt's Moving. I loved it a friendly staff! Wonderful pizza and cold drinks. We bowled for 2 hours and had an absolute ball. Great atmosphere for a team building event! Also great selection of bowling balls if ya don't have your own! They play fun music and also have an awesome arcade. Very kid friendly even for bowling. I would have my work party here again a full bar I accesssable to the lanes too. For those adult parties!

Candy Mayou

The staff is great and very helpful. I have been bowling league at Saxon for many years.

Justin Scott

Good place,nice people, good food. Going back again soon. My girlfriend beat me 3 games to 2.

Richard Perrizo

Dirty bathrooms, unkempt, little done to fix up place

Hunter glasow

Genise Jefferson

I really like this bowling alley AMF is the best place to go bowling.

Too dark on the lanes. Unfriendly when asking about lane conditions. Food and drinks too expensive.
