Reviews of Mario's Bowl (Bowling Alley)

Suzanne Hanlon

We had fun!! Only trouble was the ten pin bowling balls took some time to return back to us. Also a few times the "arm" that takes away the pins just kinda chilled there for a few moments, which was fine because it gave us time to catch our breath from all the running around we did looking for more balls to throw, with the lack of returning balls.

HarZ Patel

From my experience, the bowling part was good enough for casual friends to compete. But, the pool tables and other accessories were in poor condition, along with the lights and their arrangements from each other and walls.

Allysa Lovatt

Super fun they have a couple of days with good deals. Sunday's ae family days.

Akshai Ramesh

A fun and an entertaining place to go with friends and fam.

Royal WitCheese

This is about the restaurant inside. Awesome food and quick service. They have lunch specials which are both tasty and portions are generous. A tad on the high side for prices, but definitely worth it. You won't leave hungry.

Derek Doiron

sarthak kothari

Awesome place to hangout with friends and family

Pithani Mohan Rao

Its a great place for get together. The size of the play area is quite big and staff are awesome making your stay wonderful. A little light in the sitting area by the individual lane would make it even better for gamers to chat and have fun.

Ronald Reynolds

Had a blast. Large facility with 5 and 10 pin bowling. Brand new shoes to rent and friendly assistance. A great place to join up with some friends for a really reasonably priced evening out. And by the way. ..THEY ARE LICENSED!????

Dante DiGiuseppe

Bowling is fun

Tanzim Amin

It's a good environment for bowling. Lots of bowling lines, so most of the time you just go in and play.

Benjamin Rawlins

I've never been there in a long time

Kevin Patel

Awesome experience.

Bryan Bishop

Impressed with the staff who offered my Fiancé a Private Room (If she wanted) To breast Feed. It was a beautiful un-needed Gesture.

Jordan Miller

For some reason they wouldn't serve us a pitcher of beer, instead we had to buy glasses of beer that cost more. Oh and other party's were given hugs of beer, sounds a bit fishy to me...

Love the place! It's such a great place to go bowling with your friends and family. Very good food and nice atmosphere.

Rob Arksey

Very clean, lanes are separated and well organized, pins are shiny, machines worked great, lots of videos while bowling even gutter balls are made fun and laughable for the kids, bumpers available, great selection of weights and finger sizes in balls, 10pin or 5pin we opted for 10.

Jeffrey Mehagan

Fun time, not overly obnoxious and the food we ordered was surprisingly good for "bar food" fare.

Justin Michel (Dr. Bytes)

10 and 5 pin bowling alley with restaurant, good eats, good bowls!

Gyako

Great bowling experience and great food, however, the pool tables malfunctioned and failed to dispense the proper amount of balls. There was also a foul burning scent throughout the kitchen/eating area for a small amount of time.

I had such a great time bowling with a few of my friends. We played two games and of course I won the second game. I also purchased a couple scratch tickets and won some money while I was bowling. The food was delicious. All in all we had a really good time. I recommend... bowling at Mario's ????!!!

We had a great time, a little expensive , nice environment, but limited seating. Over all its a good place to go with friends.

Harshdip Satasiya

It was nice experience to bowl at Mario's bowl

Bailey Bray

Not a safe environment to send your kids too considering they kicked somebody out for asking Mario's staff for help when 3 unknown males came in to start trouble. This patron was murdered by these men! As far as I'm concerned his blood is on Mario's staff's hands. I will never go here again! Or anybody I know!

Taegan Schell

It's bowling, every single surface is sticky, and the software that operates the lanes is unreliable at best.

Tasneem Ferdause

Bowling good! Environment good! With friends ? Gooooooood!

Zach Dokuchic

Good bowling, nice atmosphere and the food they server is pretty top notch!

Sean McCoy

Great prices. Food was slow but pretty good. Good atmosphere

MyKidman

I couldnt knock down a single pin with the gutters open

Heather Vis

It can be fun, but lane 26 is warped, so your ball never stays true to the throw! Made the game so frustrating!! Has nothing to do with twist of the wrist or the spin of the ball, as it always jinks in the same spot on the lane.

L Liggins

Showed up to bowl, but there was a two hour wait. Decided to play pool instead. Couldn't order food because they put a stop to ordering for forty five minutes. Did enjoy playing pool, but pool tables are really close together, so at one point I was trapprd between the cues of two other games.

TrickyDog

Great place to bring the family with some good eats and bowling

Michelle Ferguson

Great lunch place, food and staff are awesome. Why not throw in a game or two of bowling after, to work that lunch off.

Susan Zirnsak Pike

We took our nephews on a P.A Day. They had an 8.99/ hour bowling special. We had lunch in the restaurant. Good food, great service. 10 pin bowling apparently they have lighter weight balls 6lb, 7 lb 8lb, 9 lb balls for children to use. With 4 people we were able to bowl about 13 frames. 1 game and a few more frames. The kids had a great time. Adults too.

Blair O'Connor

Ordered a poutine and a burger. Burger was missing half the toppings. Called them, them replaced it and still messed up the burger.

Mitchell OConnor

My kids play in the league every saturday very amazing place nice and clean

Loretta Mckelvie

Quick

Erika Nevrly

Great place to bowl or even play pool :D

Ethen Green

Went with a group of friends. The staff was nice and friendly and super accommodating. But when it came to buying beer for my lane, my friends got the drinks no issues at all. Until I went to buy us some drinks and I am the only one who was forced to I.D (I was the only visible native in my group). My I.D was shown when we got our first round, but after my other friends all bought the drinks no one else needed to show I.D until it was my turn. Felt very discriminated against since the issue was solved when my white friend got mad and told the person that he's with me, and suddenly we got our drinks with no issues. The manager at the time was very apologetic and understanding. We got a free pizza. Very good customer service and excellent staff. Just a very poor interaction with a very rude cashier

Robin Buchan

Ordered burger, fries and gravy Burger was made in house, with fresh lettuce tomato and onion toppings. Fries and gravy were great. Plus, service was excellent and fast.

Samantha McManus

Very friendly and efficient staff

Clinton John James

A lot of fun. A great place to meet friends.

Gina Gustafson

Was a great experience. Covid friendly. Dividers between groups. Double lanes per group so no one is directly beside you. We'll be back often!

Don Sutherland

Great Place

Rejean Martel Cooper

It has bowling. What can I say! Super fun times had by all.

Adr amorim

Really nice experience with friends and family.

Ron Warren

T Reynolds

Tons of fun for the whole family!

Carol Zellweger

A-one

Victor Lyon

Totally awesome, kids completely loved it!

Steph Tara

Nothing to complain about. A great fun place to go. Our family went here and it felt somewhat normal as you don't have to wear a mask WHILE bowling. Of course you wear one outside of the lane you're in but it was nice to get out with the kids and have some good old fashion bowling fun. The food was good too. We got poutine and Cajun dry rub wings. Soooo delicious.

Carly t

Great bowling!

robert Laporte

Great family place- youth and adult bowling leagues, friendly staff

Kira Gushulak

I find it uncomfortable there. It feels dirty to me. But i enjoy bowling so I still go. And service is nice.

Sam B

Tried to go bowling with my young children and happy to see the Masks Must Be Worn at All Times! sign in the door. After we paid and bowled for 10 mins my kids said they could take their masks off… I said no we can’t and they said everyone else is! So I looked around and sure enough not one single other person from at least 100 people had their mask on. Now these aren’t people eating anything. They are bowling. Yelling and hollering and no masks. The staff member said they might have food coming, but not one of these 10 or so other groups of people had food come. We paid over $45 and left our game. Waste. A business that doesn’t care about the health of their customers and kids who go there is not one where I want to spend money. Won’t be back.

amar rahul

Great for kids and really helpful staff. If you're going for bowling it's great. I don't know how so many people like the food here, when we ate lunch it was pretty terrible... frozen fries with lumpy tasteless gravy, burned pogos and a burger in a stale bun? Gross.
