βThis place is super special. I had a great time bowling with friends. You rent the lane for a specific price per hour, shoes included. We played 3 games in that hour and had a blast. Get out and bowl if you haven't done it in a while, it's a lot of fun!β

βIβve never been to a bowling alley before so this was my first experience. My aunt took me and my mom there. I had a great time. The place is really nice and well maintained however we had a small issue a couple of times with the machine that was supposed to take the pins down. Other than that, I had a lot of fun and I even played a car racing game in the arcade and came second. Would definitely do it again when I get back to New Jersey.β

βFront desk lady with dreads and nose ring had a terrible attitude and honestly a lack of reasoning. Came in for their Thursday hour deal at 10:30pm. More than half the lanes empty when we walked in. Asked about the deal and desk lady said they werenβt doing it. I asked how come, since I was there just the week prior and they honored it. She have me an explanation the deal was only valid after 8:30pm. Which made no sense because it was after that time. I told her it was after that time and we just wanted to bowl for an hour. She replies with, yes but its 10:30. I politely asked if they could please squeeze us in, and she responds with βYes, for (double the price than the deal)β. All of this with an arrogant smile on her face while doing so. I refused to pay the regular price not out of it being expensive, but rather out of principle of how they treat their customers. I would have been there every week were it not for this nasty front desk worker. I believe she just didnβt want to get us a lane since it was approaching closing time, although we would have been done with our hour and out before closing.β
