Whole family had a great time. Food is good for a bowling alley. Little ones can use the bumpers and ramp.

This place is nice. I didn't start duck pins until coming here. The staff is very hard working, and pleasant. So far I've had their pizza, wings, and funnel cake fries it it's very good! We enjoy ourselves here

We had a birthday party for my niece today. I could not imagine how it could have been any better. From the moment we walked in the door staff was introducing themselves and asking if we needed anything. All throughout we were taken care of. We didn't have to ask for anything. The food was good and we had plenty of it. The kids had a blast. It even included a $10 card to play in the arcade. Thank you to the staff for making this a truly memorable experience for my niece.

Stopped by after a proper MD lunch of crabcakes from a nearby, well-established restaurant. First time my (Baltimore born) son tried duckpins. We only have 10 pin bowling in NC. Weekday visit during noontime, so we were expecting an empty alley. Nope! Place was jamming with all walks of folks having fun rolling duckpin bowling! Both customers & employees were super nice. We had a great time and plan on visiting again next spring on our way to see dem O's hon! This place is great...

The alley was clean, well maintained, staff was "On it!" They were ready and willing to assist with anything needed to make the tournament run smoothly! They were kind and courteous to the patrons. If I lived closer, I'd make this my home duckpin bowling alley!

I took my daughters there yesterday just to get out of the house and we had a great time. The pizza was flavorful and the French fries were great!

I went here two weeks ago and I had a flat tire. My phone died and this was the closest place off the beltway for me to pull up safely. Brie & Kacey (I think this was the second girl’s name) were so hospitable, kind and helpful. Brie greeted me immediately and I told her my situation and that I called roadside right before my phone died. She charged my phone and kept checking on me even while closing up and multitasking. Kacey offered me water and checked on me too. The atmosphere in there was so energetic and fun w groups of bowlers that interacted like family. It was the the show Cheers just w bowling lol. So grateful I ended up there!

Representing 2023 for the letter is A is for AMF Southwest Lanes. I visited one time in February 2023 and was a positive experience. At the beginning of the year, I had joined a brand new games Meetup where we'd meet at Panera on Saturday, which is still going on and plan on going this Saturday. In those early months of the group, there would sometimes be some social activity afterward. I went to a couple late bites as well as bowling here. Lanes were clean. It was my first time ever doing duckpin bowling as I had only ever done traditional bowling. The drink I bought was cheap in the bar. Overall, I'd enjoy returning to this bowling alley.

I've bowled here since I was 5 years old. It's clean and a fun place to bowl.
