Had such a great experience at AMF Bowling on N. Tryon! Tim was absolutely great—he was very attentive, helpful, and friendly. Everyone there was so nice and made sure we had everything we needed. The staff made the whole experience enjoyable and welcoming. Definitely will be coming back!

Sunday is for God, family, and professionally roasting your relatives. My husband and I recently moved from Northern Virginia, and this place has become a regular stop for family outings. Everyone here is incredibly friendly, from the people checking you in to the heroes who put up the bumpers and quietly protect our dignity. The lemonade is fantastic too. My husband ordered the dragon fruit lemonade and it’s AMAZING! Get the lemonade and fries and you won’t regret it! We are absolutely not bowling pros. We’re still learning, but the staff is so kind and helpful that we can focus on what really matters: making memories and reminding family members that they somehow threw a ball directly at 10 pins and only managed to hit one. Sometimes not even that. If you're looking for a fun family spot with great staff, great drinks, and endless opportunities to humble your loved ones, this is it.

Been going for 3 years every weekend and have bowled in the league at this alley. Everything has gone up at least 2 dollars in the last 2 months and the drinks were 2.70 are now 5.40. Some items have gone as much at 8 dollars more expensive. Really enjoyed this alley but can no longer afford to go here. I have made a lot of good memories here. It sucks to see how this business is focused more on my money aspect now.

These were the nicest staff of any bowling alley I've ever been to. The bowling alley was nice and clean and the food was really good, the wings are awesome! We will definitely go back!

Nice, clean, fun. For my girlfriend & I on a Friday night, 3 games & shoe rental was $68. Did see a flyer about unlimited bowling with shoes during weekdays for around $18 per person. Scoring system was easy. Bathrooms were clean. Only potential negative was that since we only had a single lane we had to share a table with the people on the next lane. Wasn't a problem for us but thought you might want to know, in case you are wanting a little privacy.

My daughter and I had a fantastic experience. We reserved a lane on-line, cost an additional ~$5 and were provided extra service as part of booking ahead. The food and drinks were very good and the lanes were well-cared for. We appreciate the great service from the General Manager (Latoya Price) and supporting staff. We’ll be back again. I’ve already shared the experience wirh my friends too.

They have servers for the lanes which is great but they have very small tables you have to share with the lane next to you. No neuro

Decent for bowling. Food is definitely overpriced. Food service could be better. No one is ever at the counter when I go.

My first visit to this location. This location has reasonable rates/specials. The lane set up was good with easy to operate score dashboards. The staff was pleasant. Order food before you're famished because it was a bit of a wait. However the drinks came quickly. The hamburger was pretty tasty for bowling alley food. Watch out they put mustard on the burger, however it was still good.
