Reviews of East Windsor Bowl & Recreation Center (Bowling Alley)

Will Laohoo

This place definitely needed to be redone, so it's a good thing that it has! It's nicer now than it used to be, though that's not saying a whole lot, but pretty good spot for bowling, with food available if you're hungry. There's a restaurant attached, so it's pretty full-service.

SANDRA COHORSKY

We recently had a birthday party for our son who couldn't celebrate last year with close family and friends. We are extremely pleased to have chosen East Windsor Bowl and Recreation Center. Adults and children had so much fun! COVID …

Victor Salavarria

Good place for family fun

Kushad Padmaraju

I really like how the place was so organized. It was easy to get started bowling and the staff was very friendly.

Subha Mohan

Awesome

Alan “Oliviana's Daddy”

Had a company outing there and overall just a horrible experience.

Terrence Hyden

$50 for 1 hour is a bit much but no other complaints

abhinav agarwal

Good place.... Altered with new construction so the feelingis great! They have nice pizza too!!

Jeff Gualtieri

The heat does not work. We were trying to bowl with winter coats and hats on. It was 5 degrees outside and we had cold air blowing out of a vent that was right behind our seats.

F K

Clean, friendly . You can bring your kids, they have a nice summer kids program like a reward program they can bowl free before 7pm

Joy bless

Very nice place for the family.

Abom

Nick

Nice alley, clean and fun for my 6 year old.

B Ho.

Good place nice equipment. Very clean and the gentleman was wiping down the areas. I don’t like the hourly rate on the weekends now. …

Fayiz Faruk

Kind and helpful staff make this an enjoyable experience.

Jasmine Elizabeth Marks

We (Arc Mercer) had our Christmas party here for our consumers today. Amazing place and amazing staff. Thank you for a wonderful experience! ????

Bishoy Kolta

Very nice place, and great service!!!

Nick Zappulla

Nice alley lanes are taken care of and staff is very friendly the couple of times I’ve been in recently. Just didn’t like how for the holiday week they raised the prices to $6 a game all day the entire week, way too expensive for an afternoon lane that is almost empty just seems like trying to nickel and dime customers

Ketki Raje

Love it here always

Brandon Martin

Absolutely fantastic place for a gate or just to bring the family and have fun.

P C

Good place for family fun. Bowling, pizza and beers.

Cheressa DiNatale

Place is open but no one acknowledged us for over 10 minutes decided not to wait any longer walked out. Questionable on how they really do business with their customers???

Anirudh Pathak

Average bowling place. On the plus side, they offer themes. Deducting one start cause the digital interface sucks. Two lanes have to share the same touch panel and, except for some basic statistics, it didn't really offer anything.

Andrea Monroy

Love it, is a great place

Adreain Ross

Great bowling alley.

Inzy 02 (Inzy02)

One of the workers was very rude. He told me to leave him alone when I ask for cup. Also the food was horrible and they didn’t even empty the water pitcher when we ask for water it was already used when they gave it too us.

Brian Gould

Everything works and it isn't too loud (at least during weekend daytime).

Chandrasekhar Reddy

Neat and good...

Jed Curran

Kind of experience but a place for quick fun.

Vanessa Olan

I come here to drink lol and beat my boyfriend A$$ in bowling - I appreciate the owner and the lady boss who works the bar from time to time

Rich Meyer

Used a Groupon on a super hot Saturday afternoon with my wife and 4 kids ages 16 -8. Bowling alley was very clean, computer system worked well (lets you automatically put up the bumpers (side rails) for different bowlers if required. Bowling was fun and the food was very good including the pizza. Will certainly be back.

Danielle Halpin

They definitely upgraded this bowling alley and it is very kid-friendly as well

Robert Boylston

Nice place ac not that cold

Prakash Jha

Experience was amazing. Staff are really friendly and helped me get what I needed. The prices are also really great and I'd definetely reccomend.

Tonia Spies

No wax on the floor. Old shoes.

islam sabry

Try Groupon .. the app has a nice coupons for groups

Jayesh Mehta

Great Time Pass and Sports Activity. Nice Bowling Alley

Tony Katawick

Another fun day

Santa Fe

Good lanes, affordable prices for games and food, and friendly staff. What more can you ask for!

Piyush Agarwal

Nice entertainment. Price is good after Groupon. The lady, Deanna, who works here is very professional.

Dilip Ranjith

Good place. Friendly staff

Melissa Longmuir

Nice clean bowling ally

Prashant shah

Poor management. Frozen food. Air Condition was not running properly. Owner was very rude and arrogant.

R G

Convenient, not busy and renovated

David Dombrowski

I've been bowling here for a couple of years now, I love this bowling alley. It is great. The lanes are well groomed. There is a good selection of beer at the bar, and a good little menu of finger foods. Mr. V.J. and his staff do a nice job of accommodating to whatever we need. Thanks always for a great time east windsor lanes.

A. Alexander Cox

Bowling is great... They made a lot of improvements since we started coming here 6 years ago. Arcade is struggling.. Dollar games, terminator player 1 gun was broken, air hockey Puck never came back after the first score, a couple games were out of service.... If it was just EW BOWLING, I'd give 5 STARS ... But the recreation part needs work.

Nicole M. Parent

Clean and bright inside. Our kids had a fabulous time bowling tonight ????

Steven Kersten

The bowling alley was very clean, good quality lanes, and did not reek of cigarettes like most other bowling alleys. Music was fine, docking 1 star for food because it was clearly a frozen pizza. Standard food in context, but other reviews rave about the food there which we didn't understand.

Dhaval Vyas

Nice place staff is very helpful 5 ????????????????????

Goldy Arora

Small but not crowded as Bowlero, we were able to get on the spot lane even on the weekend evening. We didn't like the drinks at all though, they tasted like made by a regular person than a bartender.

Peter Hill

Good family fun.

Matthew Kamel

The bartender/owner, I believe, was very rude and obnoxious. I asked if the Nachos are spicy and he gave me an attitude. The nachos we ordered seemed like they were from the dollar store and he just added cheese wiz on top, was disgusting ????. He was taking care of the bar and giving the ppl there shoes, which does not seem sanitary.. Would not recommend this place to anyone!

Shashank Tandulwadikar

Place is good but over crowded and reservation isn't good. Had to wait 30 min even lanes were open. Management strictly follow line system even if lanes are open and no one occupied. They can improve their process to better business

Nitesh Ratre

Great price. Convenient location. Not much crowded. New alley with lots of balls located close by to chose from. Almost every lane has balls available for all weights.

PJ Devaneyjr (pjdevaneyjr)

Golf

J R

Me and my wife's favorite bowling alley. Usually not that busy, even on a late Friday or Saturday night. Pretty cheap games.

rushi patel

Great new look

Ashley Mayer

Fun place, music, and cool setting. There is a bar and an arcade in addition to the bowling lanes. Found it sorta expensive though.

Ben Silverman

Good amount of lanes and inexpensive beer and food. Sometimes loud but still a great place.

Poornima Natarajan

Very rude.....i paid it for hourly rate & had to wait for more than 20 mins to turn on the bumpers....the lady in the front desk was rude because she had a lot to do. Very poor customer service

Valeria Riccardo

A bowling alley

LeRoy Bonaparte

The lady's gave us a run for our money

DopeMuffinz

The lane broke a couple times but it's a good place to bowl. I recommend

Dr nauman diwan

Local, fun place

bidisha dutta

It was really good. I some how like this place.. it is cozy and good for small party and family gathering. People who likes indian food, they can order indian platter as well. Price is reasonable compared to other facilities. Staffs are normally good and patient..

Dheeraj Tandon

Love it

Neha Jinwala

The surrounding is good, ample parking space, decent crowd, they also have league matches, indoor gaming, nice food and drinks. Must visit if nearby. You can also organize birthday parties.

ANKUR TUTEJA

Horrible management. On the weekday i went, the 2 guys at the reception area were rude and unprofessional. had no courtesy to talk. They were so stuck on charging me cover fees for my 2 year old child when i kept saying she would hardly play anything. I would prefer going to a professionally run bowling area next time.

Peter Liptak

Polite stuff, plenty of lanes...

Persian P

Very cool

Krystyna Brady

WELL LIT COMFORTABLE FRIENDLY PERSONNEL

Theodore Ragavas

Great place for a night out

Ray - Elreyxxx

Fun all around!

galen palowitch

High-quality bowling alley. Hard not to have a fun time.

Joe Power

Place fun to be with friends.

GoPro Kid

WOW They redid the Place and it is awesome!!

Jasti

Need upgrades!!

Morgan DW

Nice bowling place! A little hectic when there’s a big crowd where we had to wait about 40 mins to get a lane, but we had a drink at the bar to pass time! Fun bowling alley

Rilwan Pade

Had a good time with my family. Only complaint was that it was very understaffed.

Seung Lee

I played a bowling with my friends last week. It is a family oriented place and enjoyed playing at this location.

Keisha H

It was very clean and the lanes were nice. The touch screen scorekeeper was nice. It was easy to personalize for each player and select a theme for the games.

Jeff Keller

Saturday fun after 1pm is good time. Open lanes. No waiting.

Cristina Mottershead

nicely redone from the last time I was there under another name. Family friendly with bumpers and ramps for little kids. Also some arcade games, air hockey and play till you win claw games to entertain kids and a full bar to entertain adults ;) they serve a decent selection of food, too: sandwiches, appetizers and I forget what else.

Sethu Senthil

Great bowling alley, has everything you would expect. Don't get fooled by the broken sign outside.

Kristen “CrazieKris” Burgoyne

This place sure has come a long way! Everything is updated and state of the art. Computer scoring systems are awesome.

Michael Ahdout

Overpriced for what it was, ball selection is horrible, and none of them were good so weight and hole sizes were all off making it impossible to bowl a good game, new owner upfront tries to sell you on the most expensive options and doesn't even tell you about bowl per game or cheaper ways to play, most likely won't return

CB Fischer

Recently refurbished so much nicer.

Snorty O'FancyPants

This place is great! The woman who handles the bar and food orders is super cool. My family likes to bowl, and we love to drink and eat, this place accommodated both, and super fast service! Gets a little busy in the evenings, but they're great at placing people in alternate lanes. Definitely get the wings, the pizza could use some work, but that's the only negative thing I'd have to say about this place.

Mike Brewer

Cozy

iCeBeRg

Lots of fun. Reasonable prices and purchased the bowling package for 6 people on Groupon.

Ann Rose

RUDE, RUDE, RUDE!!!! paid $35. For 2 games for 3 people and couldn't get my own lane? ?!!! WTH. Spoke to the Mgr. And he said we were rude and will throw us out!!!!!

Rodolfo Santos

(Translated) The place is very good, the services excellent (Original) El lugar está muy bien, el servicios exelente

Steven Richardson

Under new management!

shobhit jain

Zero in terms of fun good facility but not managed properly. Bad food, all food is frozen food warmed and served. Food Served in the most cheap paper plates. Disposable coffe mugs given for water and beer. They can do lot more with the place. Ordered drinks LIT was as good as a coke. They are consistent with bad food, bad service and bad experience. Do not visit.

Shenice Latiker

Love to go bowling here

Deepak Kumar Suri

It’s worst place you can go down for bowling. The lanes are clean, but there is only one person who giving you shoes, serving at the bar, cleaning toilets & cooking food in the kitchen. I mean the owner and his help are doing everything by …

Roohi Sharma

In love with this place.

Angela Simonetti

MIDDLE OF A HORRIFYNG HEATWAVE. THE BOWLNG ALLEY WAS SMALL. THE PLACE WAS PACKED. THE AIR CONDITIONING (if it was even on) WAS HORRIBLE IT WAS JUST AS HOT AND HUMID INSIDE. PEOPLE WERE SO DRENCHED, THEY HAD TO KEEP REFILLNG THE NAPKIN HOLDERS BECAUSE PEOPLE WERE USING THEM ALL TO WIPE THEIR SWEAT. THE BAR EVEN HAD PITCHERS OF ICE WATER WITH STYROFOAM CUPS FOR FREE. THATS HOW BAD IT WAS IN THERE.

Avinash Salgam (Avi)

Upgraded facilities make bowling a bit more fun but also more expensive. Expect to pay around $5 a game without shoe rental.

Mc Djdip

Very clean. Great for family fun. Always plenty of oil for practice.

Roaring0223

Fun and friendly place to go. A bit pricey for no reason though.

David Sewell

Great, classic bowling alley with decent bar food and affordable games.

Maureen Dreitlein

My kids and I had a blast here! Definitely going back. Staff was wonderful and the drinks were on point! Thanks for the memories!

Angelica McHuston

I won a gift card. It was empty

Elliot Kang

Miss the retro systems but this is much easier and comfortable

Luke Sokolowski

I was there last Saturday. This place is great. Everything is tidy and neat. The bathrooms are clean in a manner that shows commitment to cleanliness. The lanes are easy and fun to use with the screen controls. The food is excellent! I had three different wraps and was impressed, especially with the grill chicken caesar wrap. So good! It was made with care. Very impressed with this place.

james hopkins

Nice, clean, new

Joe M

Cool place for bowling. There is a bar, and arcade games. Great place to bring kids.

Rupesh Trivedi

Nice place

Meredith Thomas

Clean and well managed.

Mac Gerald

Come show your talent loll

Shartece Morgan

We had a good time but they screwed us on the cost. They could have told us for $5 we could have bowled a whole other hour. I guess they didn’t want “us” in there longer than needed.

Murtaza Khomusi

Love this place!

Raj Patel (Sonu)

Less Crowded. Still Leagues do happen here. Appointments not required. Less Expensive than the others. Limited Drinks but you'll still enjoy it.

Deval Patel

Not a professional bowler but as far as I can tell good place, equipment is all modern, music was nice, lanes and the balls were fine. only thing I didn't like was that they don't stick to their posted closing time. Closing time posted online AND at their front door says 12. We went there little before 10:30, started playing and at 10:45 they start closing turning off projectors, lights, at 10:52 announced closing in 30 min. At 11:05 said closing in 10 min, all lights except our lane were off and everyone just waiting for us to leave. So we were pressured out. It's okay to close early but put that as correct time for business so we know going in, and there are other bowling places near by that close at 1:30 we could've gone to. Don't post your closing time at 12 and close early. If it's an exception, let the customer renting shoes and paying for multiple games that late know that you plan to close early today.

Liang Wang

Called in to ask some questions. The guy picked up the phone has a terrible attitude.

Arva Hennaartist

Price is really good, clean nice. After each game the total display was very good as well.

Nirupama parmar

I will review it later, but it was good experience

Ed Martin

Fun place. Clean and friendly.

Frank M. M

Lots of fun...

Mrunmai Javalgekar

Pretty good. Had fun.

John Hayes

Easily my favorite place to bowl in the area. Very reasonably priced, clean, family friendly, well lit, not too loud, good beers on tap to boot.

H3erobrine Notch

Nice high tech bowling alley, and food was awesome. In addition staff is very friendly and helpful!

Kunal Papaiya

Favorite bowling center in the Central Jersey area. It's modern and designed well unlike many bowling alleys and centers I've been to. Also, the owners and staff are always extremely friendly, and the center has a full blown modern looking bar, which is fantastic.

Kenneth Ryan

Always a good time. Lanes in great shape. food, drinks and tunes. Jay is an awesome guy. Wednesday mixed leagues and Thursdays mens leauge. Great local spot that super kid friendly.

Ajay2 Chinchansure

Good experience

Jonathan Loaiza

This place was renovated and looks great. Comfy couches, good food, arcade game area. I just wish they would have kept the pool table.

Sean Kramer

They have giant tv's playing music videos and good music. Fun time!

Ramesh T

Very lively place with good bowling lanes at great prices

Mike Loureiro

Absolutely love going here to bowl a few games. My friends and I kind of stumbled on the place as it was the midpoint for most of us. We have been going every other week for a few months and always have a great time. Owner is always super …

Radhashyam Yadav Parusha

Good

Jacqueline Goggins

Best drinks ever!!!

pritam mondal

Good for family or friends outing. Comfortable seating enough parking space. Not for bowling hobbiest or semi pro .

Karthik Kumarasamy

Clean and tidy place, good for family outings. Rates are reasonable. French fries tastes so good, better than McDonald’s one. Drinks selection are fair. Definitely recommend to try it once.

Marco Vivar

Nice place .

Yesterday we celebrated our little guys 4th birthday at East Windsor Bowl and I cannot say enough great things. From start to finish, the owner was so accommodating! He opened early so our group would be the only people there which made us …

Nathan Reetz

Friendly staff. Food is okay but a little pricey for some things.

Katrina Eardley

I had a great time here with friends and family.. It was a great first experience. I will be coming back

Zach

$50/hr for 2 people on a Friday night? ???? last time I checked Friday was a weekday, but ok. Enjoy going out of business.

slu oldjohn

Friendly

Jay Patel

Our experience was not the best, the fact that it says this place is kid friendly was crazy considering the fact that the manager dropped an f bomb on kids. The manager did not act professional and seemed as if he didn’t want us here. Not the best place to bring your kids when they want to have some fun.

Shay Douglas

Avoid this place. The lanes kept breaking. First our balls wouldn't come back, then the lane started automatically resetting. The mechanic went behind to "fix" the problems 8 times and we only got through 3 frames. I asked for my money back and the lady behind the counter was extremely rude and refused to give me my money back. After arguing with her for 10 minutes (while the mechanic was still working on the lane) that we we weren't getting the service we paid for, she finally gave me my money back.

Dave Goldberg

Fun but slightly expensive. Good pizza for the kids and of course, bowling too.

Richard Dyer

Have been going every Tuesday for Quartermania for over a month now, and I must say I'm really enjoying the place. It's nothing special in terms of the appearance or features, but it's quaint and I like that. Unfortunately the Ground Round that was attached to it closed down, so that leaves you with very little options for food. However, after the bar opens at 6 there are plenty of drink and some snack options as well. The staff there has always been friendly to my friends and I. Typically the music choices there are very good and sets a good bowling atmosphere. The lanes all work well for the most part, but of course there are some hiccups from time to time. It's pretty spacious and has never been REALLY busy to the point where we'd ever had to wait. All in all, I have a great time while I'm there and look forward to going every Tuesday. If you've never been, I suggest checking it out on a Tuesday after work for some inexpensive entertainment.

Vendy Johnson

I love it.

frank regenthal

It was fun and fun is hard to come by these days

payal arora

Very unhygienic place and very very bad customer service from the owner. Please refrain from going there to bowl or host an event

Jaclyn Ananikyan

Great place to do a birthday party. Probably the best selection of food from any bowling alley. We had ribs , sausage and peppers , pasta . All the guests left shocked at how good the food was . They also have a nice bar. Already went twice there for my cousins birthday. Can’t wait to go back.

Sks Game

Not too bad and not too good

Kelly T

Is big inside for the fun bowling, but the people who work here is not that nice.

Luis Lozano

Great Saturday night with family in from Florida. Music was perfect volume and prices were just right.

great place for bowling. Family friendly all around

Love this place, specially Karen. You are awesome...!

Conni Franks

Its smaller than some but we had fun and I prefer less chaos for my 2 autistic children so it works well for us

selvin canales

Good fun with the family

Nicole Ryan

Decently priced. Good selection of balls to choose from in a range of all sizes and weight. I am not sure if they have food but their beer selection was not bad and proceed well.

Dan Knight

Yvonne provided EXCELLENT customer service and was most helpful. My unit was very clean! Would definitely recommend to others!

bruh

Management down right terrible. Manager dropping f bombs at kids just trying to bowl. Do not go here, Colonial Bowl is a much better option for a family night.

Ciera Bertheau

The girl working at the cash register was absolutely nice, and understanding. Now the disrespectful man gave away the lane before the other half of our guests were even finished. He shortly came over quite rudely and told us to get up. There was no need and I guess needs some training in customer service and how to treat patrons properly. Absolutely ruined our night. The 1 Star was certainly for the girl trying to be nice. If I could give 0 stars for him being so rude I would. Sidebar: I asked for a cup of water for some kids and she tried to serve tap water. Absolutely a shame

Brian Kaczorowski

Nice place and clean affordable

fausto gonzalez

We have a good time with my family and friends

Bhupendra Jinwala

It was nice time to be there & enjoyed a lot .

Christopher Andalcio

I enjoyed the bowling and food.

Rudhra Merchant

Yes

HAL MEELER

Awesome

Dave Adams

Ok bowling alley...not much other than that

Julio Artache

This is our 2nd time there and we had a good time. We took our 12 year old grandson and bowled 3 games each. The place was clean and had a festive atmosphere. The staff were friendly and polite. I'm glad that we didn't have a lane that had the video was playing on because it would have been very distracting. Their french fries are delicious and reasonable and you get a decent amount. There was an adult bowling party just about to start as we were leaving. That was cool! We would definitely be back.

katherine guzman

Owner is extremely rude. Sorry but fix your attitude. Sad that’s it’s the only bowling place in town but would not give this place my money again. I rather drive to Hamilton or freehold. I thought maybe I did something but he gave the same attitude to the person beside me and they even questioned his attitude and even apologized because they thought they were bothering him !!! Insane !!! Never again !

J. Fernando Martinez

The bartender is fantastic

Susan Parascando

Needs updated

A Allan

I don't recommend, expensive, rude service

James L

I must admit this place got a lot nicer since it got renovated, but it closes wayyyyyyyy too early during the week at 9 pm; especially when theres a bar in there. I think 10 pm would be more ideal for the theme they're trying to imply. Multiple times me and my buddies had the idea of coming here around 7-8ish, and we were only persuaded away because we realized that we cant stay there for long to take advantage of the deals they offer

C. M.

Nice place for bowling, kind staff

Leina Yamiley Jean Louis

I loved the moment I past with my family here
