Reviews of Rapids Bowling Center (Bowling Alley)

carlos oretga

Bowling is always fun especially when u can drink as well

Shawn Petro

Favorite spot to bowl and nice people that work there.

I don't think I've ever come here to play the lanes but I've definitely came here to have a few drinks at the bar, and if your looking for a great crowd and friendly people, I'd come here! Saturday nights they have karaoke. There's a lot of regular karaoke singers who come every week and sing the same song, but it's a lot of fun. The little menu that they do offer is inviting, appetizers - the pretzels with cheese are my favorite - , they also have subs, wings, chicken fingers. I ended up taking a half tray of pizza for takeout last time. It was OK, nothing special, I felt like the dough itself could have been cooked a little bit more. Holy toppings! They smother them on top, which could also be the reason the dough wasn't cooked enough. I also didn't realize it was going to be that big! Definitely can share share share!! Come when Ashley is bartending , you won't be disappointed!!

ronald anderson

Great

Tammy Grindlay

Great place to bowl and awesome pricing too.

Karen Hance

Totally crowded and the restaurant is mass confusion. Took forever to be waited on and then they didn't even know what we ordered. On a good note, they do offer military discounts on bowling.

Rachal Nestell

Bartender is inattentive I had to walk to the bar and ask for every drink our box for food was left at the bar yeah he took our trash but dropped it and never came back.... either he's up on something or doesn't care boooooo!!!! No tip and let me say I've been here many times and the experience is not always the same .... its only the same when we have this bartender... oh n don't let me forget that it was only my party of 3 an 1 other customer... even went to the bar and he's on his phone forgetting about the $20 we needed in change an waters... like WOW!!! Oh n the bathroom was clean but not checked enough...

Vone Hunt

Good time!

Rosann Gregory

Quiet bowling alley. Had issues with pins being drop down with automatic

Ashlee Peterson

Was here for a kids birthday, there was an employee that was not on the clock felt she was entitled to space that was reserved for our party, so with that said we didnt end up bowling for long and the arcade area sucks but the 1 girl was doing her best to fix everything, shes great wish i got her name!

Andrea Weczerek

Awesome

Zl S

We had great time bowling Sunday afternoon. The staff was fun friendly and upbeat. The bartender was lovely and the pizza and wings have improved since the last time we were there. We were impressed. It was nice family outing. I wish I remembered the ladies names at the counter and bar. They deserve recognition for their friendly customer service skills.

Melissa Irving

U can have fun morning,noon,and night

Herold Kroh

My kids loved this place. Bowled 3 nights in a row while vacationing.

Gary Broderick

Gun pkace gor a bowling outing

anand Gangar

Good place friendly staff and great food must visit for bowling

K D

Very friendly staff, nice place and clean.

Natasha Marie

The game itself was fun. Staff needs to keep up on sanitizing/returning house balls when lanes become available; my disabled kid had a hell of a time bowling with a #15 ball. Took 20 mins to get 1 beer at the bar. Overall fair rating.

Tina A

On Sundays after 9pm games are only $1

Cory Irving

A place for families to spend time together

Senpai Psy

Great place! The prices are OK and me and my kids had a great time! For all the reviews that say that they don’t clean the balls, I watched them clean it right in front of me. Overall definitely a great place to have fun with the family.

Daniel Lord

The facilities were dirty and the pizza tasted like cheese on cardboard.

Maria Fabiano

Sunday night 50¢ games is such an awesome deal and the staff were accommodating and kind, it was the other patrons we had an issue with as well as the food Starting with other patrons, we brought our own bowling stuff, and it isn't exactly cheap to buy a bowling ball, but these girls were placed on the lane next to us and from the minute they got there they were giving us dirty looks for no reason. The one girl mistakenly picks up our bowling stuff and when we say it was ours the other girl became belligerent and wanted to fight saying we didn't have to start anything, even though all we had said was it was our stuff, they were extremely rude and disrespectful. The food DID taste good and $25 for a half tray of pizza and 20 wings is a great price, the problem was there was VERY little topping and it wasn't cut all the way through, and the chicken wings tasted great but they were so small. All in all not the worst experience and not the worst, but if you go there on a Sunday for 50¢ games be prepared for anything, the low prices draw out the bad crowds. But thank you to the staff who were very kind, and very attentive to what we needed. I don't blame them for what other people do but for the reasons I mentioned I can only give 3 stars

Cee Riley-Tull

It's a great place for children parties.

Peppertrysmcfry

Bowl

Christine Smith

Games in back are half working. My lane most the time had to be reset. Pins all over. Workers looked tired.

Lord Farquaad

Wouldn't let me.use bumpers

Gabriel Chen

Good drinks, but I waited over an hour just for an order of chicken fingers, which we're okay. Staff is nice but don't expect anything to happen quickly.

nate601984

Its ok

Katia Cruz

(Translated) One hour to get wings. Luckily I didn't order a full meal. (Original) Una hora para que me sirvan alitas. La suerte que no ordene una comida completa.

Aaron Parnell

Been here before, prices are good. Average bowling alley

Rachel Maass

I used to be in a League and I had a wonderful experience. The staff at the pro shop were very attentive and the servers at the bar are super nice.

Donna Drake

Clean and friendly

Michael Cooperman

Bar is Great. Never got to bowl (by choice, not availability). Friendly atmosphere. Reasonable prices for alcohol and food. Karioke Saturday nights, very supportive & positive. Bartenders I interacted with, Liz and Christina, were on point the 4 hours I was there. No one waited for drinks and the bar was very clean. The food server, I didn't interact with her, was a hard worker also. For a nice, cozy, local bar in the falls it was great.

Rebecca Haseley

My favorite place to bowl!

Scott Petts

Great customer service a little bit more expensive than I remember paying for bowling but I guess in today's economy it's to be expected comfortable shoes clean alley extremely nice restaurant Quick Draw Lotto relaxing atmosphere

Jodi K

Friendly Staff, Clean Restrooms, fun atmosphere and decent prices. Fun leagues, great open bowling packages, great people!

Chandler Roman

Tuff house, synthetic lanes and I am not used to the oil pattern. I am a consistent bowler but I felt like I was 12 again bowling here. Sorry. Nice place with good food and decor bit dam... Way to much oil on the lanes... Can't bowl that way

Miguel Garcia

Good

Alicia

We had a birthday party and plus my kid's father bowl there! So, with that being said very nice people good food and drinks????

Evelina is the best servicer at this location I recommend it at 100%

Isaac Brascoupé

Bowling was GREAT FUN!!!Melody was organized and our wait for a lane was 20 minutes or so. Ordering was a real chore !!! Under staffed and the food server was confusing everyone!!! The cook was bartending and serving tofix the mess.

Cyndi. Diaz

LIKE IT. I make my kids birthday's party and always the staff make a good price... Love it

Peter Stansberry

Great place

AM K

the pizza was good, the employees were okay, but our time for the game started before we even had shoes, the "prizes" from tickets were cheap but cost a lot of tickets. i think if you get so many tickets you could get a game for a family of four. especially when the kids don't want 3/4 of the cheap toys.

Derrick

Purchase bowling balls and had them drilled & sized

JMO OPS

The staff there really makes the impossible possible, anything that is with in their power to do so, Great place to have a good time. Bar area nice food you name it.

Korey Cook

Great food, great drinks, great scene! Karaoke on Saturdays and moonlight bowl weekend nights makes for a awesome time with friends and family.

Rahul Panchal

huge place.... so many lanes..... good price..... food, drinks and game all u need

Frank Fabiano

Staff good, lanes were working good. The pizza needs more topping, one pepperoni per slice is a little skimpy. I think that they need to control the people that come in to start a problem. I see why the cops keep getting called every weekend. I hope that they do better.

jdl Lawn Care

Great place to go with your friends and enjoy some time away great stress reliever

Larry Henderson

fun times.

Maliki Ouedraogo

Very nice place good staff

Kina Jackson

Always like to bring the kids out for a night of bowling.... Just wish they would have told us about the family bowling deal they have on Friday and Sundays..... It's a great deal for your money..... For $50 you get 2 hours of bowling, shoe rental, full tray of pizza and soda for up to 6 people.... We will definitely be going back to enjoy that deal ????????????

James Samuel

Calm nice place

Lisa Capaldi

Nice clean place. They don't do a good job keeping up the alleys though.

Spikegary

Nice bowling alley single Bartender was overworked from what I understand the food is something you want to not eat

darrell brocato

wat agreat place to bowl

Brandi Thurston

Friendly but things are broken and look like they havent been fix

Luke Previte

Music from the jukebox does not automatically start playing from the sound system even after the jukebox starts playing. You have to go to the attendant behind the counter and tell them the switch the audio. it's horribly annoying and I always feel like I'm getting ripped off because I can only listen the last half of the song that I paid for. Also I can never find a ball that fits my hands. However, the drinks are reasonably priced and the pizza is good. I enjoy the midnight bowling and atmosphere.

Linda Davis

I was watching ???? my sister and her grandkids play bowling again each other (3 against 3) they had so much fun, its was very enjoyable, exciting and lots of laughter.

Gianna Caggiano

Lisa Boston

Nice place

Christy G

Went to look at a new bowling ball while in town for a bowling tournament and was told I couldn't touch the balls because I might scratch them. How can I decide if I want it if I can't hold it.. he yelled at me and was extremely rude

Jason Rochevot

Nice lanes and amazing food

Cassandra Ellis

Robert Davis

Great food and an awesome facility for bowling

Nellie Miller

Fun and the food and drinks were delicious..

jiant2520

So we went here for family night and they were booked in advance which nothing saying you could do so. Also, they had a league playing during the same hours and something else I can't remember. So the people that prebooked lanes were basically only 3 lanes that would've been available for family night. Nothing to accomadate, negligent customer service and their games most of the time never work or don't dispense tickets. Then they have some cheap prizes and the good prizes you would have to spend hundreds to get enough tickets.

Zach Gravell

They have a great summer deals always have enjoyed my experiences at this establishment

david gresham

(Translated) Loved out (Original) Loved ut

Mark Jagodzinski

The service was slow and rude

Emily Seeley

Honestly the worst experience at a bowling alley I have EVER had. Come out with a group of friends expecting to have an amazing time. The worker at the front desk didn’t even acknowledge I was standing at the desk for 3-5 minutes, didn’t tell us any deals that were going on but another worker (Lexi) told us when she walked up. We went to the bar for a drink waited 35 minutes. Yes 35!!! And the bartender handed us the bottle of liquor telling us a shots on him. I’m sorry since when do you hand customers a bottle of liquor to pour yourself and then told us he would be back in 3 minutes but NEVER came back. Instead he walked around the bar and put a kid on his shoulders and walked out. So we had to get ANOTHER employee (Lexi again) to help us. Mind you we only have 2 hours to bowl with this deal we paid for. We got back to the bar hoping things would be better and the bartender was to concerned with himself and talking to customers who weren't waiting and blatantly ignoring other customers we had to waste ANOTHER 25 minutes of our 2 hour window. This place is a disgrace.

Michalina Moziak

Haven't bowled in a long time!

mary luder

The best bar food. Alleys and area seem clean and picked up. Bathrooms have been clean when I used them. Good place for a kids birthday

James Lewis

It would of been 5 stars except there were a lot of people not wearing masks.

James Caldwell

Bowled 3 games and desk clerk was very friendly. I was put on lane #1. I have bowled here off and on for 35+ years. I like the fact the lanes and back are all on same level. I was a bit rusty but still threw at least one 200+game with no opens. I had a beer at the bar right next to lane one and bartender was very good. A pretty full bar and everyone was enjoying themselves, some I think were playing darts. I hope they continue to do well, other than Bowl-o-drome, they are it for the Falls bowling scene. I recommend pine bowl/thunder bowl/rapids lanes to all...:)

Shosho Queen

(Translated) Expensive (Original) غالي الثمن

Desireemb c mm Coxsackie Lottman

Could have opened a lil longer....

Gregg Mann

Real nice facility and staff also right next to the best Western hotel great for people on vacation to have some night fun and or get out of the rain or snow "let's go bowl"

Rebecca Ford

Girl with blue/green hair behind the desk needs to learn how to talk to customers. Yelling at a customer to the point where the whole bowling alley was looking. Completely unnecessary. No need to talk to someone that way. Bad for business.

Aaron Hatch

I want to apologize because I never meant to post that low of a rating when I was there a couple of days ago the staff was very friendly the lanes were well taken care of and everything seemed to be in great shape

Aaron Lomax

This is my favorite place to go ????!

James Ryan

Great Birthday Party for the Kids!

kennedy bleecher

scummy. employee made me wait at the counter while he finished a personal call on his cell phone. also all website open bowling hours are wrong!!! choose another bowling alley!!!

kurt haentges

Great place to take your family for bowling

Alan Koziel

The bowling system keep screwing up. The service was horrible. The staff was lost in space. They didn't no how to count game tickets to cash them in. Half of the game room was broken down. The pop was terrible. I would not recommend going here at all until they improve the place.

Anna Johnson

Fun

Edwin Dejesus

A very nice place to enjoy bowling with friends. More refreshments and food options would go a long way though.

Scott Bennett

Shut off the Sabres game and said that "league bowlers have the say over tv" we spent over 100 dollars between bowling and the bar. I will never return here and never reccomend this place to anyone.

Glen Bowen

I love bowling here

Robbi Scalzo

I was there for a 6 year old birthday party Very unorganized and I'm not talking about the party itself I'm talking about the bowling alley and having to many things booked at the same time!

Monique Collins

We was visiting out of state we was on lane 27.for the first 45 minutes we had trouble with the lane..we was told when lane 28 starts up it will stop the problem. The people in lane 28 had problems also ..we finally moved after another 45 minutes..then we bowled some of our pins was missing ..

Make sure you look up if there is league play before going. It's also a great idea to go for a dollar game night. Why isn't the bubble hockey plugged in?!

Donald Caple

Cool place ????

Duane Hartleb

Great fun

John

A great place to bowl and have a great time!

Jim Pitman

It's an average bowling center. The food menu use to be pretty good but now it is pretty pathetic.

gimbznyr

Really miss this place. My family usually comes down from Canada to do a park and fly out of the hotel next door. We also stop by for some beverages and food and gamble every Novemeber. Unfortunately covid has put a wrench into things. Hopefully we are able to cross the boarder again shortly. The bartender is a sweetheart and we enjoy the banter she shares with my family full of characters!
