With this Covid situation happening, as soon as I walked in the building it felt and smelled sanitized! I cant stress enough how clean the building is. We rented shoes which were also clean as well. The lanes were clear and the atmosphere was peaceful. The service from the woman behind the counter was impeccable. The only complaint I could have would be that the holes in the house balls werent exactly the right fit for me or my son but thats a small thing. Ive updated my rating to 5 stars as I will try to bowl there weekly.

I have been league bowling at this location for several years. The owners care about their customers and are the nicest people youll ever meet. They are diligently working on improvements of the facility.

Small bowling alley in southwest. Clean and orderly. Had fun with grandchildren. Paid 25.00 for 1 hour 3 people. Not bad for bowling. The lighting could have Been better it was dark inside

Automatic score boards and great family atmosphere.Ive been a member of two leagues at this establishment for the last 3yrs. I find that the owners are very in tune with what goes on in their bowling alley. Not only are tjey friendly but they also do a lot for the Community . Ive personally witnessed Steve and Vanessa give back on sever occasions, be it collecting gifts for umder privileged children or throwing a block party in their parking lot.In this day in time its hard to find Black owned business that i would strongly consider a Cornerstone of the community.Thats why i took tue time a rated V&S 5stars .When in reality they are much more than that.Keep up the great work.

The atmosphere was pleasant but there was one employee named Kevin who seemed unenthused to serve the customers. This made me question the climate but all other aspects of the venue were very accommodating.I plan to come again and look forward to having a great time then 😊.

Very pleasant no frills bowling center. Has that 1970s Brunswick retro look, but does have modern computer scoring. Employees are very polite and friendly. The mechanic is quick at resolving mechanical issues with the pinsetters.

Review №21

Good scoring alleys, a nice little spot to get away from the hectic-ness of center city. Bowled there yesterday and today. For the most part the staff are fine. The mechanic guy was very nice and helpful. But my biggest complaint is GET NEW BALL RETURNS!!!!!!! Even if its from another alley. I shouldnt have to reach in and yank my ball out of the hole every single frame. They are like dead horses; stop beating them!!! Otherwise the bowling alley is one of my best go-to spots in town.

Horrible customer service everyone has an attitude. Some of the arcade games dont work. If you tell em something is wrong they look as if a child who you told to clean up there room when its as simple as something youd do for a job because last time I checked in customer service employees at a bowling alley get paid to do their job🤦🏾‍♂️. I see why it took me so long to return Im glad they gave me a reminder they need to just stick to tournaments because at least they seem to treat them with great customer service.

Great prices, staff is phenomenal. I love the place and have an excellent time every visit. Dollar pool table, Pac-Man, and just about some of the best music youll hear at any alley. 10 pins outta 10.

Review №52

My family and I were hoping to have a great time bowling for our first time. Unfortunately, this establishments employees and/or owner was very impatience, unprofessional and not very informative for someones first time bowling.Despite the constant nagging over the loud speaker every five minutes and the lack of good customer service we still made an effort to enjoy ourselves. However, I decided it was time to end the game early because we werent there to be ridiculed or chastised but in fact, there just to have a little fun and learn how to bowl. Our experience here has demonstrated our patronage isnt appreciated....I will say it was quiet and clean but intolerable.

Great food, bowling lanes are wood lanes and its a challenge but thats what I love about it. Friendly staff, doesnt have a bar but its a byob bowling ally, cant go wrong there. Dislike are support beams blocking some areas of lanes which is on my side off play.

I give Elmwood Lanes 2 stars because the workers behind counter werent to enthused. ENERGY is says alot. And also there wasnt any food to order while I bowl and have a great time with my family. Also the music system/surround sound wasnt that great niether. As far as the sound goes.
