REVIEWS OF Thunderbowl Lanes IN Windsor

Mike Shaw

Nice place to bowl. Kind of expensive, from my experience, but I definitely had fun.

Chris Broadnax

Normal typical bowling alley. Sometimes a little more crowded than I'd prefer but if you want to bowl, just bowl. Not much more to say. Nothing fancy. Cool place to go on a weekday date at night when there's not many kids in the laser bowl thingy. Dark room of lanes with cool neon black lights. Have a couple drinks and bowl over there!

Kenisha

Fun time hanging with friends, celebrate my co-workers birthday had an awesome experience..

Joseph Frye

The hospitality our group received was priceless. As a veteran, it was a refreshing outing. The staff went over and above. Great experience!

Eddie Tawil

Great atmosphere, cosmic Bowling starts at 10pm

SHEREECE FLEMING

Pro shop here is the truth. The guys here really know what they’re doing in our patient while you’re picking your gear

Mike Rayburn

Worked with Vicki. Very awesome lady!!! Held our company (K2 Industrial) work Christmas party here. Could not have been more pleased!!! If i could recommend anything to Thunderbowl id recommend updating their website. So people have an idea of what all Thunderbowl is capable of. We spent about 1100 and had a beautiful buffet with several goods layed out so professionally. Food was delicious. Dessert too! Had our own private bar in the cosmo section of the alley. Arcade games were free to kids as part of our package. We bowled, we ate, we drank, we played, we socialized and we were MERRY!! They did an outstanding job. I would recommend FORCING a tip on them when they do you and your party the same way! Thunderbowl your staff was exceptional, thank you Vicki and team so much!

Adam Elsesser

Very large bowling alley. Reasonable bowling prices and well kept.

Kamille Rainer

Not a fan. Had to go through a metal detector to get in. Security was everywhere (i guess that's plus if you need a heightened sense of security). Definitely not my scene and poetically won't be going back. Not enough seating for the amount puerile they allow in. We were packed in like sardines.

Sky the husky

The place is A good place to play bowling at the snack bar is amazing bunch of stuff But the place could look a bit better!

Lilmarkas Cunningham

Sunday night's are the best time to go...

John Haro

Great had a bday for our son and it was a blast. Cosmic bowling

Danille caincross

Thank you to the staff at Thunderbowl Lanes for making our graduation party awesome!! Everyone had a great time and the Arena was amazing. You guys deserve way more than 5 stars!

Kalee Rumfelt

Was here for a bowling tournament. Their snack bar had a horrible way of taking team orders. Which wouldn’t have been a problem if they let teams bring in food for lunch. Waited 20 minutes to order and then couldn’t even order because I had 2 school orders in front of me. This snack bar should take team orders in advance if they expect all teams to order lunch from their snack bar. Very unfortunate.

Ashley Donley

Security got into a fight at the doors as we were walking in had to wait 30 mintutes just to order our lanes

Maria Brazier

Love bowling here! Owner is a great guy and very friendly the bartender and food personnel are also very polite, two concerns for the establishment is understaffed, the service for receiving shoes, front counter, and especially the bar your almost always waiting because that crew member is busy doing other jobs and you must wait for them to return and sometimes can take up to 30 minutes just to get a soda from the bar. Also 1 worker in particular. There is a lady at the front desk whose name badge says,"Ms. Thang" this woman is very disrespectful and rude. Multiple times when your lane is having an error you must speak with her at the desk to fix the problem at hand. Ms. Thang will blame you saying you did something wrong at least she has to me on numerous occasions, she will argue you and when she finds out she is wrong she will not apologize, she talks down to people when she speaks to them which is not professional and this establishment could find a better person for the position that is polite as well as faster paced because this woman works very slow and does not seem to try to speed things up even when there is a crowd of people at the counter waiting on her.

Sequoia Turner

Nice, clean and fun. Needs new bowling balls though. The ones they have are all beat up

Tom Caldwell

Employees where friendly, they can accommodate huge parties. The building could use some renovations soon.

Cody Moore

Great experience at an iconic bowling center.

Over Watch (Overwatch)

Very large bowling alley with special events, league bowling and private parties.

Sean Don

Small place, pretty chill if you're just a casual bowler. I don't think it would be the preferred bowling place for larger groups but nothing particularly wrong with it.

Myles Conner

Nice lanes and cool arcade. My only complaint is I wouldn't bring a date as the employees seem to like to stare at you and your date the whole time.

Simply Malana

The atmosphere was not family friendly. You have to be weapon searched upon entry and that is uncomfortable. Not someplace to take a family or go on a cozy date.

Tre bosley

Positive crowd, high degree of professionalism demonstrated by the employees, decent equipment, clean environment.

Mark E Dogg P (Bi9 Eff3)

Two thumbs up ???? Ten toes down ???? Dope ass spot ALL THE WAY ROUND!

Jachob Dalaney

Great lanes. Alot of fun had a blast I took my kids there they had fun and also staff was very helpful and courteous. They had bumpers for kids and also had a stand that u you could set the ball on and all the kids have to do is push it. Will take them back and will also go back even if I'm by myself.

Megan Thayer

Went bowling with a large group, and they were very accommodating. It's a huge bowling alley, and had a large bar. The drinks were very reasonable.and the pizza was surprisingly good!

Jim Fussell

Bowling alleys don't exactly have reputations for being pristine but this one feels particularly run down. The alley is quite old and it shows. Mechanical issues and drab countenance scream for a much needed remodel.

Tom Wdowiak

Nice community bowling alley. What you would expect.

Robert Howe

Lady at the food court made me change my mind quick for some food!!! I saw her picking at her face and start cooking the fries and had no gloves on....Great prices and my kids had fun and some of of the employees were nice,but probably wont come here again !!!!

charlene Prong

Nice to have a party, staff need to be more aware of what room your party is in and not start your party 30 minutes late.

Evan phelps

Just bowled here today and turned in a flyer for the PBA Pro Am next Friday. A little Drive from the Westside but it gets me out of my house.! I threw A handed strike also, got Lucky!

james

the spot is cool. Management was a little rude but the lanes are pretty solid. Balls are ok also.

Dove

Hands down the worst place I've ever bowled in my life. Had 3 lanes for a party of 20+, even though part of the part was already inside, we had to wait in a line outside in the cold to go through security, only to be made to wait in another line. Then was charged $22 a person. Will not recommend and won't come back.

Jake Paige

I don't normally one star reviews, but this is definitely one of the exceptions. The lady at the register was intolerant and rude. Once we got to our lane, the pins wouldn't set up and it was giving the wrong scotes to players. After that, the balls just stopped coming. We asked to move lanes, but then we just weren't getting full sets of pins. At one point I only got one pin on a fresh round. This was easily the biggest waste of $20 that I have ever spent. Please save yourself the hassle and go somewhere else.

Beau mitch

Everytime I go they always have open bowl which is a plus in my book!????????

Myke Page-Bey

It's a fun place to bowl with friends an family I'm there @ least 3/4 times a yr with a big crowd 20 or more

KING SEALION

The bowling part was great no complaints but the arcade was a waist of money as the actual good games where all broken

Todd Schier

Over priced, dirty, and staff needs to work on customer service skills

drew Johnson

The comp kept messing up our score... the house balls are in horrible shape ie. Chipped and deep scratches. I went to order 2 orders of cheese sticks and came back 10-15 min later to find that they were never started on (if they were busy, I'd have completely understood but seeing as I was the only customer, unacceptable). This was our first visit and sadly our last as well... the only reason I gave a second star was because the greeter and shoe person were really nice. Also the prices are actually really cheap, however, you get what you pay for, for 3 people + shoes for 2 hrs: $30. We never made it to the second hr.

Sean Crum

Have only gone inside once in the past 15 years. I can't say too much. Still one of the biggest around.

Latina Sanders

Fun place to bowl. Great people and atmosphere.

Sharon Porter

Went there on a weekend because of an employee outing. They CHARGE YOU before you even go in and they're gaurds at the doors. Didn't know if I was at a bowling alley or a club. The staff was great though once I got in and so was the food. But I won't go there again.

keela parker

The café and bar was closed and the bowling alley was dark. Need more help had to find our own shoes.

Eraca Lilly

The price package for there 3 hour bowl ing is not bad.

Jennifer Shaw

My niece's birthday was nice. We bowled and the arcade was free.

Erin Poor

Really nice, huge, and felt great inside. Plenty of seating

Jacob Pratt

Awesome place for bday parties. Pizza is amazing and so are the staff.

Maurice Quincy

The Thunderbowl is the place to be! Recently had a birthday party for the twins, we reserved 3 lanes but needed 3 more! Staff was so helpful and accommodating, total life-savers! We’ll definitely be back; these guys go out of the way to help. Thank you!

Shaunta D

Use to be cool until they put this rude ol lady at the service desk

Ty Rhea

Love bowling every 1 friendly and security and mental detectors are A1 for all for safety ...love it there.

Jeffrey Gathers

Very nice bowling alley not to many people in the morning times and it was a good price for a Saturday very good place.

Edward Williams III

Great place for a family fun day. Also a great venue for birthday parties. The staff members are all amazing!!!

Mr Exclusive duck

Drinks cost to much u can barely taste the liquor for your drinks

Amber Harris

What a great bowling alley! My daughter enjoyed competing here for her mhsaa division 1 championship. The spectator area was great, very accommodating.

Ray Ellison

Had a great time bowling here. Staff was great and very friendly. Just wish the location was closer to home. I will go back again.

Jack Diez

A WONDEFUL place to bowl . Extremely nice personnel

Jon Boyer

After many years of bowling at Thunderbowl, this will be my last frame. This place is a total ghetto full of wild, crazy, pigs. (I can't even call them bowlers, because a bowler has common courtesy for other bowlers.) It started when my party of 6 was put on ONE lane. (Lane 80) I understand that this may be your policy, but for 6 people?! Really? Then, after we got to our lane, the party next to us, was a large group of people who were loud and rude and had no consideration for anyone else on the lanes. I immediately asked the front counter if I could have a lane change, and with 2 lanes this time so my group could actually bowl. So we were moved to lanes 51-52. It turned out to be 10X worse! We were in between two large groups of people, who were again loud, rude, and all over the lanes. Some were bowling in their socks!!! Some were bowling in boots! Kids were running out onto the lanes and rolling around on them. Kids and younger teens were playing on the floor. Some kids were actually rolling around on the tops of bowling balls on the floor! Bowlers were throwing the balls overhand, and when the ball would stop mid-lane, or in the gutter, kids were running out onto the lane or in the gutter to retrieve the balls! (In street shoes, too) We also could not sit down by the lane because the other two parties decided that they could use our seats. I believe there are 4 bars in the building, and only 1 ONE was serving drinks, and with only ONE bartender! I won't even go into how long it took to get a pitcher of water and beer. It's not the bartenders fault. It's the lack of planning and staffing. (I help run a business, so I know what it's like to require adequate staff members, at the right time. Keeping customers waiting is very unprofessional.) The frustrating part of about this, is that Cloverlanes, which closed back in May, 2015, had the EXACT same type of crap going on inside. Ghetto atmosphere, wild guests, lacking any type of security monitoring the lanes to keep the crowds under control. They CLOSED. The "guests" ran the facility, just like they did tonight at Thunderbowl. It's just sad, because I last bowled at Thunderbowl 6 months ago, and it was nothing like what it was tonight. As we were finishing up our final game, the lights were turned down and the music turned up. You can't turn the lights off with this type of clientele out on those lanes. In my book, it's just not safe. By the end of the night, we just wanted to leave. I did make it a point to go to the front counter and speak with the Night Manager, who was very professional, but as I figured, she was short staffed and there wasn't much she could do. I will say, that she did offer me a place in the Arena either tonight or during my next visit, but sadly I will not be returning to ever take advantage of that opportunity. She did encourage me to rethink my decision, but my mind had been made as soon as I started to bowl. I understand it can be hard to monitor each and every lane, (It's a large bowling alley) but something needs to be done. It can't be avoided or ignored. If it is, I'm sorry to say, but you will most likely end up like Cloverlanes. "Closed". The fact of the matter is that I will not be returning to Thunderbowl ever again. My party was not pleased with the experience, and they couldn't wait to leave the building. Tonight turned out to be a regrettable experience, rather than a fun and memorable one with family.

So. You know that you can get a. 2 hour bowling for 10 dollars

Robert Rodriguez

I like the area and i love it but they close @1am here so if u love it please for free to write me back.

Barbara Carter

If you like bowling thunderbowl Lanes has a nice atmosphere good customer service great place to come and enjoy they offer private parties

Floyd Shephard

This bowling alley used to be a great facility...now it's just getting by on mediocre customer service and average lanes. They need to put money into the grounds and building.

stix

An original bowling alley with a hall of fame and an arcade

Cameron Buckmon

We called this place they told us that we were they were open until 2 AM we got to the place driving from Ann Arbor all the way to Allen Park and the doors are locked we knocked on the doors the guy came to the door and told us that they were close and I told him what was said over the phone so he went back to double check the guy yelled at us and told us to have a good night because they were close it was 1050 at this time so we’re like it’s only 1050 so we close at 11 I said so we have 10 minutes and on the phone we were told it was 2 AM they told us no so we called up there again and the lady said that they close at 11 but it was still 1058 at this time customer service is terrible will never try to go again.Very annoyed it was a hour drive!

Evell Walk III

Great place very relaxed atmosphere had a good time

Gwen King

Large bowling alley, good for tournaments and private parties, Has PBA every year.

⟭⟬ Kellz ⟬⟭

Love this bowling alley. Have a nice area for events

William Moses

Wow that had to be the most racist experience of my life, they wouldn't let me bowl because I brought a candle and their broken door hit my arm when I left, they should post on the website that they think you are a terrorist if you bring a camera holder/ candleholder

Nicole Larimore

Fun atmosphere, nice staff, good food. Only complaint would be how the parking lot is set up, and the food line takes some time which cut into our bowling time. All in all a good time.

Emmanuel Dunham II

Love love love to go here. Bowling is my favorite, I'm currently looking for other bowling alleys

Grant Saylor

One of the nicest and cleanest bowling alleys around

RJ Burr

I'm biased because I'm working the latest PBA event there as the crew's chiro & sports med specialist, but the place is huge and must be great if it holds PBA events!

James Finn

Had fun the other night with a friend. Hadn't been bowling since I was a kid. Loved the automatic score keeping and the psychedelic lighting.

Adam Baseti

Great place to bowl at. Very friendly and great prices.

Sherri Nelson-Jones

Very popular bowling alley! Lines are the norm on Saturday nights! Good music, reasonable rates! Great night out!

Ronald Hall

We made Thunderbolt a part of our Family Reunion and everybody really enjoyed themselves.

Nakia Lindsey

I enjoyed myself along with a group of students the staff was well prepared and so helpful. I havent been bowlingbin ages but my experience at Thunder Bowl was a great and fun one I recommend this bowling alley to anyone that lijes top notch service.

Gregory Byrd

Very nice place to bowl. Arena area has party atmosphere, booth seats at lanes and also has a club for parties. Decent prices for drinks and food.

Marwin Davis

You can bowl by the hour here, and they have movie nights here. Wow ????

Jeffry Gonzalez

Good Everything ????

K Joseph

Nice, clean facility. Good food... especially the breakfast burrito!

Lisa LaNelle

Not too bad! Good food and drinks

Nikki J

I just got a brand new ball went there to try it out and the lanes were so dry I bowled three games and not a lick of oil did not have to wipe my ball one time

Sharon Cooper-Jones

Superfun!

James Bradley Saylor

We Bowled Here With Family on New Year's..

Kushal Nargundkar

Too crowded. Been here twice. Cant find right balls. Bowling lanes are fine much like any other. But the whole place is pretty big in size

Queen Petty

Called and asked if they had open bowling all day... Told me they do... Go up there and they say the don't have open bowling until 5 and they might not even have any lanes open cuz they have tournaments going on...so that means u don't have open bowling at all today and u could have told me that when I called instead I wasted my time and gas!! Smh!! Not happy!

Erica Henry

My last two experiences were not good. The greeter at the door wasn't helpful or friendly.

Juanita Jimenez

I love there glow in the dark room and there staff were very nice

Legendary Mike

Poor house balls. Most of them are cracked, chipped, or hard to find. Out of date scoring system. Sensors don't always detect pinfall. Prices aren't bad tho. $8 for 2 hr unlimited bowling (as of 7/2/19) $4 shoes. Prices are higher depending on the time of day and the day of the week.

kx muri

The bowling alley was okay, but the snack bar is TRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On 12/15/2018, my family and I came out to just have a good time. I had to pay $5 because they charge for non bowlers??? However, that broad Kat (at the snack bar) has no type of customer service skills. They tried to give me cold food, that they claimed was in the warmer. SMH!! When I asked for hot food, she push the tray of cold food and said- “that’s your food”. So I had to talk to Pat (a supervisor) to possibly get my money back, because Kat refused to make my order over (which was chicken, fries, and a drink). Spoke to Vicki (who is supposed to be the manager and she did “nothing” about the situation. I told her what happened, which was a waste of time. Instead of taking the money (that was refunded) over to the snack bar, so that my daughter could have something to eat. She kept saying that Kat (at the snack bar) story was a little different and that she would call me later. Call me later for what??? When I’m currently standing in your establishment!!!!!!!! SMH. So I was still there (because my group was still playing) with no food. Later on, she walked pass me and said, “I’m going to call you later”. I told her no need to call me. I will never go there again.

Lawrei Chandler

They have 1$/Game bowling. Customer srvc sucks, we'll one person in particular. Bill is awesome

Natasha Marshall

They cut off food and drinks after a certain time which I get because of the pandemic and they stay packed but they could have left the vending machines open. Tad bit chaotic but the experience is fun

Darius Cooper

I recently had a small gathering here and the customer service was fantastic. They worked with me when over half of my party flaked on me on the day of the event. Most places would have charged me full price for the reservation and I'm thankful that they were very understanding. I highly recommend this bowling alley, the lanes are in great shape, the ball returns were fast, and employees were very attentive. Thanks Thunderbowl!

James Molnar

I've been coming here since I was a little kid and am sad to see that they have fixed and remodeled nearly everything other then the lanes them and the computers glitches the whole time we were there.

Christián Henry

Good lanes. Bathroom needs cleaning. Bar service extremely slow. Staff needs customer service training.

cshalley

Last year things went really down hill with service, lane condition, and food bar. This year has been much, much, much better. Only three stars for now to see if keeps up on the positive.

jeremy leach

Nice staff. A little dated on carpet and decor. Alley balls lack alot. Not many choices.

Alexander Lopez

This place is an ok bowling alley, a bad pool spot, and has the longest wait for drinks. I gave it 3 stars because it all depends on what days and time you come. I've been there early morning and it was great. Late at night on the weekends there is a line out the door, and lanes breaking down constantly. I went there 2 nights ago just to play pool because there was no way to get a lane. The machine for quarters was broken so I had to go to the bar for change. It took 15 minutes to get change for a dollar because they could only give a dollar in change at a time for some reason. I like the lanes but they break down too much. Wouldn't recommend on weekends but if your patient then go throughout the week and check it out.

Ali Jeffries

I walked in and was met with wonderful service at the entrance. The prices were reasonable and there were plenty of lanes for my entire group. There was also a variety of balls for people who needed something heavier or lighter. Even the younger kids can enjoy bowling with a lighter ball.

Eric K

Great time!! security is wonderful. Knowing im safe in a large area with my family and friends and great food to top it off is always a plus

Davonte Streeter

This place going to tell me they had new bowling shoes the shoes were so worn out I told them"I'm straight" and I did not want to Bowl, they told me" I had to still pay to sit in their bowling alley" it's the stupidity for me..

Heather Whoever (Lil Pyro)

Thanks for the great birthday party! My kids and their friends had a blast! I would give this place 100 stars if I could! Erica was an absolutely amazing party hostess and such a sweetheart! My kids party went so smooth and timely in the best ways. I will DEFINITELY recommend a glow party to anyone who asked for ideas! I cannot get over how well it went and am super stupid happy with my choice to have a bowling birthday party! Not to mention the end price, epically great there too! $200 for a 2 hr bowling party of 10 people plus 10arcade cards! Can’t beat that anywhere else????

Tara Turner

Supported a fundraiser, cold no heat in but I loved the variety of interactive screens to choose from. Good time, very clean and lots of cleaning throughout the time we were there by the staff. The staff that I did encounter was very friendly

Aaron B

I bowl league here it's fine.

Mike Lyjak

We came here for a birthday party and there was a lot of ignorant people running around bumping into you and not paying attention to their surroundings. The food was overpriced and the person serving beer and liquor had a sign at her bar stating no water pitchers and refused to provide me with water saying she was not allowed to give patrons water. I don't see how this is legal but I continued on with the evening. The bowling balls were standard wear and tear and the lanes rolled fine. It was definitely crowded but being Friday that was to be expected. I would not come back here if given the chance to go to another bowling alley in the area.

Pb B

Lanes had oil on them more than i can say for most places at 2:30pm

Elli K

Clean large and well run bowling alley. Come here and knock down a few pins.

BellaBeast 2004

The bowling lanes are nice but occasionally needed to be fixed.

Fouad Berry

The place is cool but something is up?!?! There is always one pin still standing no matter how you hit the strike. But over all cool place

Laurie Anderson

I took my grandson and my great neice bowling and we had a blast. Early afternoon.

Steven Fields

It's my home! It's reputation speaks for itself

Rana Kasim

It good pkace for fun and spend time there are food and drank .

Krystal B.

Run down and the staff were not very friendly. But for the price. $10 a person for 2 hours of bowling is not so bad.

Carlos Small

I love thunder bowl lanes...plenty of lanes..reasonable prices for bowling

The Linny Rebelle Show (The Random Show)

Very fun and I can't wait to go back.

Cowboy 2020

Had my 40th birthday party there on 1/5/2020 pizza and service was great but lanes weren't. Went there to bowl not play video games even though half of the free games in the arcade didn't work or weren't turn on. I asked the employee if they put oil on the lanes before my party and the Service counter said that they dont oil the lanes in cosmic at all period. You would think for $436.00 for 20 bowlers they would. And for 40 max people you get 4 pitchers of pop total. I would put 0 stars but won't let me. Definitely not worth bowling here. Wish I could have gotten a discount on my total bill.

HotHamz2019 Hammie

Have been here since I was a kid but its still the same old place...good times great fun and memories...

Cara Bear

Great family outing and great specials. Food area just closes too early.

Strip ClubManager

My staff and entertainers bowl here every other Sunday. We bring in a group of 20 plus. Its only a few problems that could make this place a 5 star. First the elderly lady behind the bar is super slow, and needs help. Second reservations for parties of 20 or more people should be allowed and not split parties up.

Elizabeth Vincent

Went here for some Friday night open bowl. Got some food which was decent. Clean. Lanes had NO issues and had self-contained problem solving built in so no need to go up to the front for pin resetting or ball return.

Errin Shelby

Large bowling alley just wasnt too happy about the multiple levels for the bowlers to maneuver around. Great parking availability

Lorayne Dilley

My lane kept having to be reset and the staff is ghetto amd I think high.

Johnny Montgomery II

Great place to go bowling! Great prices

Carl White

great place to go with family or friends , late night bowling is the best. all you can bowl nights are great with groups and drinks.

Kayla Childress

The bartender told me I could literally not have a glass of water, I could not purchase even a cup of water or even a pitcher I was told it was an enforced rule. She was very sassy and told me to go to the vending machine.. there was no water selection even there. The lady at the snack bar was very helpful and even stayed open late for me to buy food. Yet the bartender told us that we could not drink or play pool anymore because they were closing it was 1:10. Its sad when workers just want to go home so you cant enjoy the actual open hours. I will not be coming back. Thanks for being rude and ruining a good night.

Amanda C

One of my favorite bowling alleys. Prices are good and usually a lane is always available. Love that they have regular lanes and then the side with glow n the dark. We have had plenty of parties in the smaller glow room with the bar and dance floor. Me and my friends would come here every Thursday when they had free pool and buy drinks. Great place for family fun and adults too.

Bren 313

Great place for family fun or just to get away. Food and drinks.....excellent

Walter Williams

We had a great time tonight bowling,

love rayne

Our favorite place for date night

Ahmed Taj S Al Shakhs

If you come on the weekend is completely full with people. However don't use 41,42,43 because the group make the ball move to the right more so problem with ground

Joby Jester

The manager on shift was awesome! My party arrived during a league, but she was able to accommodate us with two lanes and even had her caterer get pizza for us! I wouldn't be have expected her to go out of her way since there were only 7 of us but it was such a nice thing to do. I will definitely go back !

Darcel G

The party area is nice. But one of the lanes kept messing up and the kids had to keep pushing the rest button. It was pretty cool otherwise.

Yes (OGskunkMASTA)

Poor quality and service, only good service was the guy at the shoe counter(friendly and helpful). 1st and LAST time there. Atmosphere is HORRIBLE.

Kirstjen Lorenz

Huge place. Lots of parking. Great place to hold a special event if you need a lot of space.

Rachelle Crout

Would not answer the phone wasted time going because of a tournament we could not bowl.

Jacob

It was good. Nachos are pretty nice as is the chicken

Mohemmed Al-Ansari

Nice bowling alley, clean with restuarants inside.

Bavin Bibbons

Beautiful place. Nice lanes and great food and drinks

Jess B

Me and my family enjoy coming to this bowling alley. The staff is friendly and the area is always clean. You can order food and drinks to make it an all day event or just come to bowl a few games. The price is decent as well, 7 dollars for shoes and one dollar per game per person. Our lane had an error when we first started but the staff was quick about correcting the issue.

Kiemba Knowlin

I was amazed at how much it had to offer! We had a great time!

Yvette Young

Nice friendly atmosphere ????

John Mazzola

There lady at the counter was rude and obnoxious.. Claimed she had "25 years experience".. If she did she should have been fired 24.5 years ago.. She overcharged us for the games and said it was our fault.. Needless to say we will not be coming back to this craphole again

DJ Shutout

Clean bowling alley, excellent lanes, and holy cow what a TV! Would happily come back.

Luc Poenaru

Loads of fun. And they're awesome for hosting fund raisers, to benefit the community. I will go again :)

Onurkan K

WOW! Never written a review before but damn is this place garbage. Pop machine doesn't work, no bumpers for kids, no water or drinking fountain for kids, fries cost $4.77 but $5min on credit cards and pop machine doesn't work to meet the min so they can't eat the 23¢. Lanes constantly fail and need maintenance to come out and fix it

Sicpoet

Clean and I like how the party/cosmic bowling areas is separated. But, it's a little run down and a lot of the arcade games are very old and barely working.

Theresa Mcclendon

Pretty in the inside lots of fun decent food good drink

Ayana Harris

It's a great place to bowl even though they don't have kid prices which was a bummer and the screens were a little messed up. The cosmic (glow) bowling was fun for all of my guest, I definitely recommend!

Claudia Sanchez

Had a great night as a family and friends. My kids first time and had fun!

Brandon Thomas

This place is completely ghetto! I'm never going here again...this bowling alley is nothing but trash...the lanes we were on kept messing up...when we asked to move they said it would happen on any lane...let's me tell u that's not true...I've bowled at hundreds of bowling alleys and if the lanes mess up often or if your constantly having to reset the pins or enter your score manually then there is something wrong and if they all do it then your vowling ally is garbage...lol..anyway this bowling alley is poorly maintained...everything is run down...they even have drink rules...like really? Just close this bowling alley down! I mean I even had to get my bowling bag completely pulled out and searched through...that's ridiculous!

Anna Coghlan

Staff was friendly and the mini tacos were lit. Awesome environment to bowl in for all people off all experience levels!

Valerie C.

Really good place for children birthday party. This was pre Covid19. Plenty of activities for the kids to do. Plus video games, Bowling party. Was really well worth the money spent.

TerryW313

Clean organized bowling center the shot on the lanes can be tough

Ronald Cephus

The customer service was amazing. And any questions I had or assistance I need they out perform themselves. Just amazing.

corey jackson

Had company Christmas party at this location

falguni gondnale

Facility is good and clean, best part is price. We visited on a Tuesday afternoon, it costed us $1 per game + $4 shoe rental. I would recommend this place based on my experience.

Brandie Kessler

It was a Great family experience, we will be back!!

Andrea Thompson

Love that this place is big enough that there are leagues and open bowling. Prices were reasonable. Great for kids and adults. Pretty good food too! Probably my fave bowling alley to go to.

Tina Glenn

We had a good time and enjoyed our selves only the snack bar was closed

Sanstastic Day

Derrick Anderson

Enjoy the bowling lanes, sometimes the crowd of people gets annoying, but overall, great times are had!

Danielle Kale

Bowled here as a kid. Watched the place on television. It is still as cool as it ever was years later! Kudos!

Chris Buczynski

The added security is a little crazy, and non-bowlers having to pay $5 is one of the dumbest things I've seen in a minute.

Matthew Higgins jr.

Great lanes been bowling here a few years now and excellent service!

Jerry Flowers

Great counter people except AJ. She needs lessons in customer service. Terrible attitude and rarely smiles. Acts like customers are disturbing her.

Stillman

Greg and the guys at next level pro shop are top notch!

J

Awesome venue very nice staff two floors huge bowling lanes multiple bars dance floor pool tables ping pong will def be going again.

G Núñez

For bowling is kind of nice, most of their arcades are very old and broken most of them don't work.

Eric talbot

Family friendly environment. Get a quick bite to eat. Buy a new bowling ball and get a drink if you like. And you have plenty of free parking.

Deb W

Disappointed the bar was not available till we were almost done bowling

Michael Johnson

Had a blast. We did the private party in the back

Dizzy King

The food there is pretty good with quite a few options. The bowling is fun, and usually, I go during Tuesday for dollar night. The bar also has a large variety of drinks. If you didn't know, this bowling alley is the largest in the world.

Chuck N

Its HUGE. Nightclub, bar, cosmic bowl and tons of regular lanes. Lots of arcade games and distractions for kids too. Lots of options at the snack bar and vending as well.

Vickie Richards

Lot's a family fun...bowling, video game's, food, party rooms and neon lights.

Harikrishnan Rajkumar

A nice place. A bit crowded and many people hog the bowling balls. 5star if they can control it somehow.

A fun place to bowl with friends on a bowling league.

This was a very big and nice Bowling place. Their staff was really nice and helpful. Their bathrooms were very very clean. Their prices were not too bad either. I would definitely come back here again!

Lil Erika

I love bowling here. It's a good environment & even though we go when it's busy, Bill still makes sure we bowl. The arena is the best. Love it!

Nikki

Their 5 piece whole homemade wings are the bomb, bathroom clean. The only thing is, I noticed that they play music to I guess fit the crowd. Check it out, you'll see what I'm talking about.

Jacob Ponce

Nope.

Kristy mc

I would give them 5 Stars the staff was very polite but the balls were horrible there

Austin Chatman

Great place to bowl. They oil their lanes, great for families and birthday parties. Kids love the glow bowl and games. The arcade is legendary. Who still has an arcade in 2018? Thunder Bowl!

Stevie ray

Very nice bowling alley. Best In town

Luqman Wright

Balls didn't always come back, pins didn't always reset, was confusing. Arcade during events is fun tho

CC carmic (BLONDEDALEC)

Nice crowded. But good time

Tiger Thaddeus

Fun Place To Be On A Saturday Night With A Bunch Of Cool Friends That Like To lose At Bowling.

Mr.Unknown313

Shut the phone right in my face when I was asking for open bowling prices

Umer Gilani

First experience, wasn't disappointed

Nathan Silcox

Had a Christmas party here. This place has a lot to do. Bowling, pool, even has a dance floor. Perfect place for a hangout spot

Lawrence Perry

Great bowling alley, great food for a good price.

Thomas Barker

Bowling alley is nice, Cool security, the staff is cool, but the people that are there bowling are ignorant as hell.

Garrett Tithof

Really like to see the pro bowlers there!!

denise richardson

Had an absolute ball with my friends, as well as met a few new ones. Plans to revisit soon, especially for those great wing dings. ????

Steven Alexander

Fun place. Has cosmic bowling, too

Fat Shawn

I love it besides the police sitting outside waiting on black drivers it was great

Wes Sothard

Great bowling alley. I wished I lived near I because I would bowl here often and they have an awesome fun center with arcade and everything!

Bianca Jackson

Food not so great

C. C.

Had a great time last night

T' Challa

Lane 34 on the cosmic bowl side was an issue but overall. I had a good time

Amberberry

Best bowling alley in downriver! The place is huge and they have special events here too.

Nicholas Phillips

Call to ask about details to bowl there and the lady that answer the phone was rude and hung up on me when I was trying to get clarification on prices to bowl there.

Jessica Clover Rushing

Nice lanes but the balls are not great. I have only been a couple times but I recommend calling first to see if there are lanes, they are very busy especially with leagues and such.

Hattie Brunson

Don't go late, shoes larger than your size. Poor customer service.

Reginald Howell

Here for a kids Birthday party (glow bowl) Kids had a great time.

Leslie Gauthier

Pretty great place. the PBA Tour was great

Joseph Clark

Fun for family's

Liz

The bowling alley itself was great but you don't want to go there on a busy night. People are people,what can I say?

Khair 313

The vibe is friendly and awesome for friends and family

Kevin Weatherly

Bowled in a tournament today. They had my team in the arena. Struggled but I won $25 yesterday and $120 today.

ali al-abbas

The score kept messing up which sucked, but the overall experience was nice.

Trish Toth

This place is for bowling only. If u want good service forget it. I was there on black friday at 6 p.m. & surprisingly it was not busy. The staff does not seem to know what they are doing or care about customers. Two of them argued about how to do their job while in the middle of helping us. There are 2 bars. Good luck finding a bar tender. The food counter is like something u would find at a sporting event and didn't open til 6 p.m. We wanted to order pizza but they said they didn't have enough dough because of another party booked. The ladies working the food counter where very nice and did the best they could with what they had but if u have a party booked wouldn't u order extra dough? The management of this place truly needs an overhaul.

#SundaynightSoulsessions DjBigKahuna

Not my favorite place to bowl. But for a recreation bowler you would never know the difference. But for league players.... You will be able to tell the shoot change.

Rick McGuffey

Really great place had a lot of fun and lots to do there n Not just a bowling alley,skating,arcade,bar and food. Great for whole family.

Jennifer Shather

I had my daughter's birthday party here this past weekend, it took 3 weeks to get a hold of the party planner to book it, than it took a hour and 15 mins to get our pizza made ( which the party is only 2 hours). I paid $400 and all i kept getting was your pizza will be out in 5 to 10 mins. It was a joke never again

Tonyalynn Wade

Horrible experience! I was having my sons 18the birthday/graduation party and they double booked my time slot. When we got there it was already 30 minutes into our time spot. The woman had an attitude because we were upset at that fact. When we asked if they were going to compensate us for this (like a discount) we were told no because we got a bigger room and our pizzas were on time. OK what about my cake decorator didn't know where to put the cake (she was told 3 different rooms) or the fact the room was decorated or set up. I had to run the poor fellow (that was serving the party) to death. Example: no cups, no plates, nothing to cut the cake, no table cloths, and because we didn't have a room we couldn't hand decorations. Plus the guy delivering the pizzas didn't even know how many pizzas we had. He had to ask us! Almost $300.00 to set in a room outside the cosmic bowling area, inconsiderate, insensitive, and rude. If it hadn't been for the fellow servicing us I wouldn't have paid at all an would have had my party in the parking lot! Next time I'm renting a hall!

Dr.Mario M.D.

This place is very fun. I really like bowling here and it's really great for parties.

jim Shel

I like the staff good team and manager she very nice lady

Andrew Stewart

Had an excellent time will recommend anyone to come are they looking for a good time in a friendly environment

TheSarcasticKing

Best place in Michigan for leagues and bowling

Jason Touleyrou

As far as bowling alleys go, I've never had to go through metal detectors to get inside of one. Having been a member of a travel squad during high school, I've seen pretty much every bowling alley in the metro Detroit area and I can say that while this one may host some great tournaments, it's not fun to get into on a Friday night.

Buzzkill

Dated bowling alley pins kept falling from rack had to get them reset 6 times in 2 games

gamal ahmed

Horrible experience. Huge fight broke out right after I paid 2 hours of unlimited bowling and had to leave because the police escorted everyone out the building

1keyang

Always good environment but the price goes up everytime i go back there.

Adam Dabak

Most fun with friends. The screen was a bit uncalibrated, but it wasn't much of a bother. The pizza was good, but it wasn't cut all the way through so ended up being a bit messy. The workers are nice, kind people. 10/10 would come again.

Bryant Glover jr

Had a great night. Union bowl night was awesome

Summer Chavis Henderson

Staff is unprofessional prices a good and the food stand is always closed

Abhi

I usually visited the lanes from past 3 years, they have the best and cheapest lanes in and around Dearborn side. Saturday evenings are pretty much busy. Staffs are well behaved Some times lanes gets stuck in between games. Best deal which i prefer is $10 for 2 hours games including shoes rental for a person.

Counselor Chix

Good staff. Great drinks and pizza

Danyelle

Been going here since I was a kid. Always a great experience.

Khaled Aburehan

Are you looking to have some fun with your family this is the best place spend your time with your family

Terrance Bell

Great place to bowl and have fun! Clean and friendly

Dana Reece

Horrible place, you make appointment to have 2 lanes for your daughter birthday ???? to bowl with her friends and family but when you get there nothing is available and when it is finally after waiting in line for 30 minutes they want to change $16 a child without a discount for our time and there mess up!!!!

Angelina Ibarra

Wish I could give 0 stars ????. Pat, one of the managers is very rude and unfair to customers. Too add she very unprofessional, after informing me I’d have to wait 2 hours for a lane she then sold one to another customer right in front of me.

Eddie Chokr

One of the biggest and baddest bowling places I've been to

Anon ymous

This place is such a joke, they should consider turning this place into a circus. Why does it take them longer to prepare my food than my friends and I playing a whole game? I know damn well most, if not all, their food comes frozen. And don’t get me started with the staff! So ghetto! They would have better luck running the place by picking up bums from the street.

Al Turner

A wonderful place for all family's & bowling leagues to have a great time and meet great people and new friends. also they really care about all veterans and their families and their staff are very welcoming and knowledgeable about bowling & can help you with getting the right equipment to have a great bowling experience that can last a lifetime of fun again the entire thunderbowl staff are the best & as a veteran myself I. have always been well received by the thunderbowl staff and all the positive vibes I have please enjoy their place great league action as well as a home to professional bowling leagues enjoy

Amanda Gray

Had a great time. Very friendly staff. Good food.

Jamie Pason

I was very impressed with the way the staff kept everything clean and were very helpful and friendly. We had a great time it was so nice to be able to get out and do something. It was a little pricey for 3ppl but we didn't mind paying for an awesome experience

Tanisha Welch

Had a great time. Organized a fundraiser for our family reunion, and Cindy, the Event Coordinator, was super helpful and made the whole process extremely easy.

Brandon Whisnant

Huge bowling alley good music and fun time

jerome

Its always a good time there. The staff were friendly and they sprayed everything down before and after we used it

Emelinne Limes

Loads of fun.

Chris Michalec

Awesome place to bowl with your family

Gerald Winborn

Friendly people lots of fun enjoyable place to relax from stress

Ali Almadhagi

They are so rude and the the worst service I will never go there again

eduardo pina

The place is nice but if you wanna order a drink from the bar on weekends think twice because. They are so ???? slow and they are on bad mood????

jane maleki

I use to take my grandchildren here at least 3 × a month but not anymore since they told me I'd have to pay $14 just to come inside while my 2 grandchildren And daughter bowled so they won't no longer see us there unfortunately my grandchildren will miss it

Taline Hodge

Very fun! Great bowling prices. Went on a friday night. Got there at 11pm , bowling was $12 until the end of the night. Wasn't too crowded. Good drink prices, friendly staff, great atmosphere. Even have a security guard to check people at the entrance so extra safe. Overall I had a great time!

Jaylen Lenear

Good pizza great to go with good friends and friendly staff.

Leon Wallace Jr

It was alright. Their system is not updated. I could not get a printout of bowling scores for Singles and doubles. Also for team play. It seems everything else was okay. Hopefully next time we visit the tournament there, updated systems will be in place.

Richanda Wofford

Its a fun place I just wish they had more to do for the children like an arcade room

Anna Belcher

Very crowded and a lot of people didn't have masks on.

dennis patrick mcgill mcgill

Very entertaining and can handle large groups. Fun fun fun

Ryan Ferenczi

The lanes are just ok now. Pretty much the only bowling alley with a metal detector and security for entering. Not sure if people or this business should be more disappointed in what has to be done.

Greg Martinez

Very nice bowling alley clean major updates ????

Quentin Trevino

The staff is rude and unhelpful.

That tax Guy

fun!

Jessica Haro

The person that was in charge of our party took a double tip from us without saying anything and our bill was $500. Not cool at all..Pizza was so gross, the cosmic bowling area was disgusting. My son enjoyed his time. But I'll never be back.

Paris Ramsey

Unprofessional! I called ahead and was told i could open bowl. But when we arrived they told me it was an tournament going on and wont nothing be available til after 7 its my daughter bday and all she want to do was bowl.

Gerita Bailey

Great food ,atmosphere, clean bathrooms and friendly staff .

Chanda Bulger

Nice clean establishment I like the fact that security at the front door checking to make sure no one's trying to be bad just a cool fun family environment

detroit foodie

The owners of thunder bowl are very professional the staff on the other hand have no idea what's going on when the pro shops open and their pro shop is very I unresponse of and unprofessional when it comes to a previous pro shop employee who drilled on my Turbo R ball and drought it to close the pen which voided the warranty from ebonite and the pro shop said they couldn't take care of it even though Brunswick said bring the ball end to the pro shop and though exchange it due to what happened I will never bowl at thunder bowl again that is why I have changed to Roosevelt lanes for a better bowling experience

Danielle Baughman

the only cool part is the cosmic bowling. otherwise not really worth it.

STEVE DUDZINSKI

Have done an Annual CAM Tournament here, for about 30 years. The Staff is always friendly, and helpful, the Lanes seem more consistent. The quality of the Food served Buffet Style is NOT as good as it used to be, thats for sure.

Aletha Lanus

I Love the fact that security is on the job when you walk in I live in Detroit and I felt safe all of the other employees are super friendly and very helpful.. I will always bring my family there

Vanessa Stephenson

On a league here and also visit on off days. Late night visits, especially on weekends, is not a great atmosphere for small children.

Elnora Nelson

They are great and treat us Veterans, with a lot of Love

Kenyatta Waters

Like the updates but not the evening crowd!!

Tamara Washington

My son and our guest had a really great time celebrating his birthday here.

Bella Velson

Met the love of my life here so I will forever be grateful to this bowling alley. We had a blast here for our first date and ended up spending hours here. Overall the bowling alley was pretty clean, staff was friendly and we both had a blast.

Jessica Willingham

Great staff very nice owner/manager. Drinks are good over 100lanes a cosmic bowl on thewest side of the building, the middle are regular lanes with music on open bowling nights, the east end referred to as the arena,is a club like atmosphere with bowling and a nice dance floor!

Dwaine Cooksey

Terrible. Had to wait an hour then found out they were charging for non bowlers. Last trip there.

Cody Gundick

$1 per game every Tuesday, is a great way to break up the week.

Ericka Jackson

I love this bowling alley, customer service excellent and the cost is very reasonable

Devin K

Well let say this is the first bowling alley that would not let my son sell candy for a 7th grade trip. You walk in and there is a metal detector at the door and they charge $5.00 for non bowlers. You can keep your bowling alley.

James Brown

Need to work on a.c. units they were dripping water in the bowling score keeper aera needs to get fixed so nobody get hurt bowling

Kyra Hamby

This was a nice place to have Birthday party for kids and even adults. Very colorful and fun for kids. They enjoyed themselves a party they won't forget. I like the music and how they play the video along with the music. The people was bowling and dancing. Also like how you get a party room included. That way you don't have to have food all out with the public. Book your next party there!

ta byrd

Went on a Saturday evening with my toddler son. Not to crowded. Did cosmic bowling with free arcade. Some games in arcade didn't work. Don't know how it is at nighttime. Left around 8. Security was there and it was a line at the door. Didn't order food. But a lot of people did

Ashland Hoyt

Nice place hosted the JR. Gold love these lanes

Mark Pagan

Been bowling here for about 4 years. Good lanes and good prices.

Super Starr

This is a nice bowling alley. Unfortunately the cots for a lane is $40.00 for an hour And $4.00 for shoes. If your game is not complete you do not get to finish!???? You are not allowed to bring cakes or anything in for parties.

Jon Hawley

Thunderbowl had a friendly atmosphere and good drinks. But we had to move lanes because of malfunctioning equipment.

Dan Barber

Nice staff but the refund policy and lanes are terrible. Spent 40 bucks for 3 games of bowling and the lanes didn't work half the time!

Ursula Goodloe

Staff was nice. But lane approaches were tacky. AC was not running at potential. I chose to skip an additional event because i could not slide.

jacqueline poole

Even though they were short staffed they were very efficient.

mariana mae loves to play!

I came here with my 6 year old daughter and husband, all went well until someone started smoking cigarettes and it stunk up the building..which also means they have lost valuable customers..will not ever return

Christopher Owens

Me and my friends had a good time cool place to drink laugh and get your bowl on until 2am

Jeremy Gray

Huge Bowling alley. Very very nice. Good shot too.

Ron Norton

Went with my son on his field trip the overall experience was great the students loved it,great arcade games.

Christopher Westerfeld

Great place! Watched a PBA tournament here... it was a great time!

Amber C

Regular bowling lanes require resetting pins alot!

Craig Gomez

Had a very good practice on the sport shot, Bob is a very good worker at the counter and also I like Paul in the pro shop !

Lee Clark

Very nice bowling alley to attend, you will have a great time. ok thanks

Zach F

Went here with a group of non bowlers. They accommodated us well. Its a mecca of bowling and is impressive to see even if you aren't into bowling.

Mike Raleigh

This is a wonderful place to go bowling. Owner has recently spent a lot of time and money upgrading the scoring system, restrooms etc..

Y M

Our staff had an outing in their cosmic section. The pizza and pop was delicious and we had plenty of fun. They played variety of music. The staff could have been a little more friendlier

Juanita Zimmerman

This place has the most rude staff I have ever met especially the chubby blonde white lady at the front that was watching our lanes like a hawk .I took my 11 year old daughter for her birthday and my 4 year old to only get yelled at about my youngest distracting some other bowlers that were on a league playing for money, we got told not to have children running around ,which they were not and to only have one person on the floor when they were getting help from their father .Also the regulars make it very uncomfortable for people who are coming to spend a family day together after working 7 days a week and barely having time to spend with family and overall made us have a horrible experience. I spent over $100 there and should not have been yelled at about my 4 year old celebrating that she knocked down the pins! Like what is wrong with people how can you get mad at such cute little girls having fun!

Loving LegacyBooks

If you go before 9 pm on the weekends it's so much better than after 9. My family and I had a ball.

Pat Walker

Large clean and friendly bowling alley,very clean rest room.will go back again.

Nicholas Weidenbach

The food was great. I recommend the chicken quesedilla.

Scott Hayes

I've been going to Thunderbowl for 22 years now loved it as much as I did then now. Had my sons 2nd birthday party there and the staff really went out of there way to help us achieve the great birthday party my wife and I had for our sons 2nd birthday. We also bowl on a leave there so if you need information on Thunderbowl let me know I know that place like the back of my hand.

Hal Courtright

We are on an afterschool league and it is so disorganized. They never have any change or the sheets to sign in untill after it starts. They stoped turning on the arcade without notice and said "some one complained" . Not worth $8.00 a week. Will not be bowling here after this league is done next week.

Dennis McGill

A1 service, clean and priced right. Legendary place also.

brandi kunasz

Was kind of ridiculous that we had 18 people and 4 were not bowling and we still had to pay to have them there

Terry Curtis

DONT COME HERE. 30min wait just to get through metal detectors. Then going to charge me $9 to watch my 5 year old and charge them $16. We left this place! will milk you forever thing I wouldn’t be surprised they charge you to use their bathroom.

Migdalia Price

Good please to have fun with the family

Lanell Williams

Staff provided great service, lanes were in good condition.

Gina Kincross (Gwen)

Initially thought about not going to this establishment based on negative reviews. However, we wanted to honor our granddaughter's invite. The place was secure. People there seem to have one goal and that was enjoying themselves. We had a great time hanging out with family.

Ty Campbell

The staff was fantastic and friendly... It was like watching Cheers when the regulars walk thru the doors. Proshop has large selection and very knowledgable staff.

Cindy Simpson

They are always nice to their customers and very courteous

Starr Raymond

Had fun bowling. Havent been back in 10 plus years

Tamara Smith

Is it strange I actually look forward to using the women's bathroom here? It's updated and most importantly, CLEAN. I can't tell you how miserable it is as a lady to go to a bowling ally or bar and the bathrooms are nasty. They are also making renovations on many things. The tvs are still outdated, but hey they work. I've came here twice and used a group on both times and they were very accommodating. They are doing great and I can't wait to see how they keep coming along.

Ali A

My fav bowling alley from when I was a kid till now 5+

Emily Rzepecki

Nice, clean bowling alley. Consessions are cheap and delicous. Workers were quick, friendly, and helpful. Had a great time bowling with my family.

B Gardner

My lady and I enjoyed our first visit to a bowling together ❤ it was excellent finally getting out again and feeling alive,,,, living

Aaron Hudgens

Great family place, but there was a creepy vibe I couldn't understand.

Jake Taylor

Great place,Great people!!Had so much fun with everybody will defiantly do it again!

Bernard Curry

Nice

Colleen Rodriguez

Called to check open bowling and was told it was available after 4p. Nope. Got there and there was a wait due to a tournament. We took a slip which said go have a cocktail and wait... We will announce your turn on the PA. Yes they made an announcement but didn't include us. An hour later we were told we missed our turn. There was nothing else we could do but leave our ticket at the counter and leave. The whole experience was poor. False advertisement and poor management = simply a waste of our time.

Tina Montie-Prophet

Sure has changed a lot since they rebuilt, very nice

Issa Abujudeh

Bad customer service no respect for customer

LOUIS ANTUNEZ

72 lanes, clean and friendly, great place to hang out

Jene White

I would really give them no stars. The shoe guy was rude cursed at me under his breath in front of my children. I asked him not to stuff my boyfriend's boot in the cubby and he rudely took it out as slammed it on top of the middle cubby section. When I asked what he was saying he said nothing but clearly he had words coming out of his mouth I could almost here. I told him have a better night sir because whatever in going on in your life is consuming you. He got even more upset and refused to help us very much or at all.

Wendy

Not how it was when I was little. Went there for a birthday party organized by a coworker for another. Feels very run down, overcrowded and outdated. Security is a hassle to get through, creating long lines. I am happy they have security though given recent events there.

Christian Schmitt

Still a legendary place. always cheap bowling and beer , but has gone down hill . I suggest they let CPL holders keep their tools at the door because the armed gaurds where not on point per say. i got in with my knife amongst other things but i am responsible law abiding citizen, that may not to be said about others who may get past the door security

Kayla Walerius

Awesome place to go!!! Had a great deal when we went so it was a cheap date night and the atmosphere was pretty cool. They were pretty busy but the staff was super helpful and friendly even though they were busy

Larry Joseph

Great bowling center. Always love visits there. And they are doing a great job with Covid safety. Excellent food at the snack bar too.

Giancarlo Marrelli

Huge centre. Very nice lanes. First game I ever bowled there was a 299

Robert Paul

It was a great night. Good food. Great bowling

Curtis Simpson

Nice and safe bowling alley fun times

Tom Totté

Awesome place, excellent staff AND affordable. If you're looking to bowl, THUNDER BOWL

Happy Couple

Nice lanes. Had a nice time. Bit busy, but it was a Saturday night. Liked the lights and music. Could have used greater bowl selection (shoes were great).

Monico Hayes

PLEASE BE AWARE THEY BREAK IN YOUR CARS STILL THINGS. The alley itself was nice but coming out to see your car missing or thing’s stolen from them is a horrible feeling.

Brandan Holder

Its clean, the lanes work, balls are clean, multiple restrooms and decent snacks and beverages. Cant ask for much else. Worth checking out! Prices are fair as well.

Hassan Farraj

I always come here with my friends I highly recommend this place????

Tomeka Williams

$1 Tuesday are the best or Groupon for a deal!! Love this spacious bowling alley! Great for parties or just a good old fashion family day!! Date nights are great to w cosmic bowling room and dance floor

They were very helpful with our group, made sure we had enough kid bowlers assistance, refilled drinks, very attentive to us! Even displayed the gender of the baby on the monitor! Very satisfied

Andrea

They had some nice deals going on. Had a good family day

Rebecca Jayme

We love bowling here. The lanes are always nice. We enjoy a few games with the family. They offer leagues here as well.

Andria McAllister

Had fun for the last hour 9bucks not a bad price considering..

Christopher Van Buren

I bought a bowling ball, bag and shoes. The staff was awesome. 5 stars ????

Gus Hassan

The staff was extremely rude, even the manager was bad. I will spend my money somewhere else, never again will I come here.

T D

This place stays packed! Always a fun time here, & if you play Pokemon Go there are 2 Pokestops here and a lot of Pokemon at this place!

Kesha Van Horn

Great place for the family! Come early or on time because they do search at the door????????‍♀️. The workers are Professional and the arcade is free play.????????

Joe M

Just your average bowling alley with average prices. It gets the job done...No complaints.

Dusty Roads

Huge complex. Great place for teens and parties.

Melissa Massey

Great place! Great staff!

Great place for a birthday party! Malcolm was great and very helpful. My daughter was very happy with her special day. Thanks again Thunderbowl Lanes!

Nice house great lane conditions

Lenaji Rucker

Good environment, Great lanes, and a whole staff of friendly, helpful and positive people! ????

Its terrible because kids aren't allowed in the bar not even watch people play pool it's stupid

Larry Brooks

Had a good time bowling but when it was time to leave there were so many people waiting to get in no social distances.

kiefer Brown

Arcade games were broken down and old they didnt even have pacman "what type of arcade is that" i also witnessed a man using the womens restroom and my kids were svared to use it

Dennis Lane

1st ever stadium experience with the taping of Jr Gold finals. Amazing. That is more than just a bowling alley.

John Berry

I went bowling with my family during the day on a saturday. The employees were friendly and the establishment was clean. The prices seemed reasonable, and the lanes were in good shape. I did see in past reviews that someone said that the bathrooms were not clean , but when i was there, the bathrooms were in the middle of being cleaned.The employee said that it is cleaned every night. I would definitely go back, not to mention, my kids had a blast in the free arcade. That's not something you see at other bowling alleys.

Bundle King

Had an awesome time......was good to get out during this pandemic.......

Darryl Rutledge

Great place to bowl. Tough house shot. They even have a pro shop that's open on Sunday.

Maherr Jaeran

The food was not the best, but the bowling was on point

Steve Frank

Our family always chooses Thunderbowl to go bowling. My daughter are new bowlers in High School and the staff is always helpful as they look to practice. The pro shop has a great variety of equipment. However the cost is a bit higher then other lanes. The oil on the lanes are pretty consistent allowing the bowler a better expectation of the lane. I would highly recommend this alley. We felt very comfortable using this alley during Covid as they accommodated us keeping us separated by a lane. We also felt very comfortable going here day or night with our family. Highly recommend going to Thunderbowl.

Dangelo Tugwell

Not veteran friendly at all. I showed up 10 minutes after 11 and they wouldn’t let me in. Only tried to attend a best friends birthday. Said they don’t let people in past 11 even tho they close at 12. I explained I’m a soldier not from the area. Ms.Vicky did not care. Nor did she want to hear about a customers experience. Just blew me off. Do not support this place if you are a Vet Brothers!!!

Karen Bolan

Went for sons birthday and the lane didnt work then only got some of the money back. Even tgough we didnt even make it through the first game

David Aaron

They falsely promoted tickets at a price that was inaccurate It did not cover what they promised would be covered and then were exceptionally rude and threatening in the aftermath of trying to resolve the situation. Wouldn't recommend Unless every other bowling alley caught on fire. PSI wanted to give 0 stars but Google feels bad for them.

Dennis Gardner

Management is outstanding, lanes are in excellent condition, and I enjoy food service.

Brooke

Great bar. Reasonable prices for bowling. If it's the weekend prepare to stand in line for 10 minutes and get there early because it's packed

Justin Thomas

What happened to thunderbowl!? Used to be a beautiful place to bowl. You can’t bowl here anymore, most of the staff is racist, a comment was made tonight “...he was starting to scare all the WHITE people...” what exactly is that supposed to mean? First of all, no one was scared, and I’m white, so I can speak for the “whites” as well. The man she was referring to was being loud and ignorant. Not scary. Bottom line, horrible atmosphere, and overall a bad place to come with your family. Change the staff and the clientele, this isn’t a night club it’s a bowling alley. Also, the best way to end racism is to quit talking about it... it’s 2018. Not 1950.

Jeffrey M

After waiting 25 minutes outside just to get in, you get to go through metal detector and security for a bowling alley. Then find out I have to pay $9 just to watch? GTFOH Doesn't sound like a place that I am Willing to go to let alone bring my kids Into. Won't ever be back to this place!

Tammy Cooper

Have my granddaughter's birthday party we love Thunderbowl Lanes

Robert Steffes

Company x-mas party held here for last 3 years, very nice atmosphere, nice large rooms, good food.

Michelle

Soo many lanes! Friendly staff, good prices. More than just bowling, also has games, pool tables, bar.

Kathi Yancy

The lanes always have to be reset and the choices of balls are not exciting, the alien was boring and music could of been better.

Angie E

Went for my cousin 19th b day enjoyed our time there and the food was good and fresh

Alyssa Gray

Seriously how do they run a business when they dont even answer the damn phone... Ive been tryna find out party info for the last week ive even left messages.. No return call.. If your not gunna answer the phome atleast update your website and saying how much the parties cost... Guess ima have to take my business elsewhere because of the lack of customer service

Jennifer Anderson

If you like having fun bowling, video games, have a party, cosmic bowling they have it all

Vickie Wright

Great biwling alley goid atmosphere foid court is slow serving but good

Tomoi Hardy

This place sucks, they messed up my daughter's 8th birthday. Told me there was open bowling and it wasn't I waited a hour and than they wanted $16 for small children to play and adult had to pay just to watch. Plain B.S. to me

John Lane

Thunderbowl has plenty of parking along with a significant amount of handicap spots near the doors. Probably the largest bowling establishment in the area and probably has been around the longest. In the past they had hosted professional tournaments not sure whether they still do so or not. They have a number of bars throughout the establishment. They have $2 beer and Bowling specials on Tuesdays. Whenever I drive by while it's open the parking lot is generally full. The Ally's are clean and polished. Overall a pretty great place for the family or to go out with friends.

Jaime Johnson

Bathroom was spotless, lane was good. Had my ball drilled, they did a great job.

Tarasa Downer

I don't agree with charging people who are not bowling to stay in the building.

John Parker.

I enjoyed bowing there it is à very good house to bowl in

Tony Apperson

Don't love the place as much as I used to but still so many GREAT memories here, theres no way I could give it less then 4 stars.. Last time I went most of the staff was nice and foods usually pretty good. The one thing to keep in mind is they shut down selling food and drinks super early.. Not 100% sure cause it's been awhile but I think 9 for food and 10 for drinks..

Holly Stamm

Staff was very friendly. Love this bowling alley. Too bad we dont live closer to bowl here more often than once a year for the high school State Championship. Thanks for hosting it again this year!

John Gaffka

Very nice center! Came during a PBA show. The Arena is cool and the pro shop is big. The amount of lanes is almost overwhelming.

Jeremy Kakos

I had the same experience as Scott kind, literally the same thing,

Kisha James

Good bowling alley nice drink specials lanes got stuck a few times but overall nice bowling alley

Darin Greenwell

Fantastic venue and over 100 lanes.

Susan LeVasseur

Great place! My daughters high school bowling team practices here.

Marion Mitchenor

Fun cosmic bowling. Food was pretty good.

natti no fraud

Always had a good time coming here. I wanted my hubby's birthday party there but they said that their parties were really just for kids. Their fliers and website don't really specify that but it worked out at Indian Lanes.

destiny beasley

I go mostly every Tuesday for there dollar per game day. Great snack bar. Top self drinks are over priced.

Todd Johnson

I’ve bowled here in all 3 areas, and I enjoy bowling at these lanes. My only complaint is that on 2 separate pair of lanes (1 in arena one in cosmic), the scoreboard wouldn’t register one of the pins, so some strikes would show up as 9 counts

Valerie Joyshine

Had a wonderful time! There is ALWAYS lanes available for open bowling. Food is excellent as well.

Sonya Little

Great place for a child's birthday party! Plenty of room for them to run around! Pizza was good, servers were attentive! Good time had by all!

tammy verdoot

Usually never have a problem. My kids are on leagues. But the app. says they are open and they are not open on Mondays anymore. Very sad but we will go tomorrow.

Cheeks Joe

This place has plenty of lanes a bar and a mini restaurant that serves finger foods i was in bowling heaven

Jessica Coleman

Bowling is always fun, food could use a lil improvement

Tameka King

Went to Tunderbowl tonight. I thought I was going bowing, not to a club. You have to go through metal detectors. And then there is a 5 dollar cover charge if you dont want to bowl and you still have to pay the 5 dollars if you just want to sit at the bar. This is ridiculous. On top of that, it's 62 dollars to bowl for 3 people, for 2 hours. I turned around. I'd rather spend my money at a more decent venue and not some money hungry bowling alley. You guys don't even deserve the star I had to select. They used to be more family oriented.

Randy B

Helpful pro shop... Bowling alley allowed us to try out new balls ... better seating arrangement for H.S. teams competing.

Raymond Ruiz

Friendly and helpful staff. The music was good, and not loud. A very relaxing atmosphere. I Would definitely recommend it to friends and family.

Tia Thames

So much fun! Great place for family fun

Orlando Cruz

Don’t ever come here they lost my shoe and have me running around for them to replace them

Maria Negrete

Alittle pricey since they charged me for my 2year old but whatever.

Ali Beydoun

Worst bowling place ever. It’s so bad I’m not going to explain why it was so bad.

Scott Kind

Called. They stated they were open till 11 pm. Walked up security stopped us at the door and wouldnt let us in. Due to 'policy' they could not let us in. It was 10:03pm. I've been a repeat customer for several years and have had more bad experiences than good. The rest of the staff have been very rude at times minus a few. Wont be going back.
