Jersey Lanes

I had a lot of fun with my friends and family here!!! We only bowled two rounds! The place was clean. The bathroom was clean. The staff was friendly (maybe not the most attentive). I really enjoyed playing with the pink 8 pound ball! Although I ranked 3^rd of 4 lol I had a pretty sweet time and I am from San Diego :) thanks for turning my night from good to fun!

Awful place to go to. My group had purchased a Groupon to this place which included 3 games per person and $ 10 worth of food.
We show up and have to wait 7 minutes to get our lanes. Once we arrive at our lanes, our scoreboard and lane are both messed up. We go to the front desk to have them fix the lane and they didn’t. We decided to play the game regardless.
Halfway through the game, they shut down our lane for absolutely no reason. We went to the front desk but the lane had been turned back on by then.
Once again, during I believe the second game (?) our lane shut off. It came back on faster, though.
Our deal had included 3 games per person, but we were only given 2, and had to go to the front desk to have our game extended to 3.
The kids in our second lane had been using bumpers. Upon activating the bumpers, we noticed that it only raised one bumper, not 2. We never went to the desk to have that fixed, though.
Since this deal included food, we decided to get food. We got chicken fingers and cheese fries, along with 3 Pepsi’s. We were given ONLY 6 chicken fingers, 3 in each container. The chicken fingers were pretty bad, but not horrid. The cheese fries were alright, also.
TL;DR: too many complications, underwhelming food, good time when no problems were present.
Would I come back here again? Maybe.

I am a bowlers wife. I do not bowl so my revue is based on the atmosphere. This place is pretty cool. There’s a few arcade games and a full food stand so when I bring my 4 year old he has something to do. I recently had food Friday (fried fish and fries… amazing) Music is always going and they have a full bar in the event you may want to have a sip or three. There’s plenty of seating so you can sit back and watch the bowlers.

Had a great time here with friends last weekend. Friendly staff, really clean and great food. We had a little bit of a wait but not too bad. Totally worth it.

Great place to have good times with.
Lets face it, none of us is a PRO Bowler (not to offend the real one) so you will always enjoy this place.
This is a great place to catch up with your buddies or do some fun activity your girl (mind you this ain’t the place for first dates) or even an all family thing.
Decent food, good selection of Beer and Liquor (Surprisingly they have a good enough selection of Beers on Tap for a bowling alley) and cheap price for a couple of hours (if you take some effort to look-​up on Groupon on living social)
You wont be disappointed.

Ehhhh. When I go bowling I prefer cosmic bowling because it’s just more pleasant to the eye. This place didn’t have it. The only reason we went here cause cause Linden lanes had an hour wait and brunswick lanes was too far.
First off, the guy kept ignoring us when we wanted to put our names down for 2 lanes. I think they need to hire more people. The desk was always crowded and it was annoying.
Everything else was pretty standard. They have a bar and some food. I had some fries and they were okay. We used a groupon for this place so it included a food voucher. I wouldn’t go here without a special deal like that.

I am EXTREMELY dissatisfied with the customer service that I was shown here tonight. I came with two friends, and we wanted to use the photo booth machine. We tried to start the machine by pushing «start», and it didn’t work. We then decided to insert our money, thinking it would start the process. We inserted a $ 10 bill and it didn’t work; the machine just ate our money and we weren’t able to take pictures. I then proceeded to go to the front desk to tell the man working that the machine just ate our $ 10 bill, to which he acted suspiciously and questioned our legitimacy: «Why did you use $ 10 if it’s only $ 5 for pictures??» To which I had to explain how HIS machine accepts $ 10 bills. He called in his supervisor who was also curt and rude we explained the situation and he insisted on taking down our license information and when we asked why, he said something about being able to accuse us in court, which was completely inappropriate. I then asked him why he couldn’t just unlock the machine and ACTUALLY CHECK that the last bill inserted was a 10, and he said he was unable to do that. Instead, he treated us like scum and acted suspiciously. Customers should not be held at fault if JERSEY LANES’ machines are out of order. My friends and I will no longer be going to Jersey Lanes, their customer service is horrible.
*if there was a no star option available that’s what I would select.

My 6 year old wants to become a professional bowler, hence why we are always at this lane. Maybe because we have been coming here so much, they are super nice and accommodating to us, so I give them a good report for customer service. Lots of lanes, very huge bowling alley. We also have our son’s bowling party here, and it was fun. Place smells like an old bowling alley, and décor isn’t something to brag about. One advice I will give, if you are having a birthday party, order your pizza in advance. We made the mustache of ordering when the party already started, and it took forever!

I purchased the living social deal. I called to ask for lane reservations due to a big party, but they said not to worry about it on Saturday night because league ends at 7:00PM. We arrived at 7:10PM and ended up on a waiting list for 1 HOUR. So, due to false information my rating is very low plus the bathrooms are disgusting.
A few tips:
When I asked at the front desk about lane reservations, they said «they don’t do that», but on the phone they said they did (false information)
Parking is huge — so that’s where the 1 star takes place
Rental shoe sizes start at Toddler 6
Saturday nights — games are at $ 6.25
Music, Lights Out on Lanes and Big Projector Screen starts at 10:00PM on a Saturday Night

Very bad customer service. Rails are either up or down they are not automatic

Pros: Big building with many lanes, easy to use computerized scoring machines, sweet customer service
Cons: Expensive!!! Be ready to pay $ 6 per game and $ 3 for shoes. Also, kind of dingy… it’s not dirty or gross or anything but you can tell it’s a little bit older.
They don’t really do the whole flashing lights radio music blaring thing, so it’s a peaceful place to bowl rather than a party. I’d come back if there was a special on the prices.

Ive been going here for years with my kids, even had one of their birthday parties there but last time I went with my 2 boys, my friend, and her two kids one of the workers ran to the back, im assuming there was a bowling ball stuck? well as he was running he pushed my son and knocked him on the ground. I got furious and confronted him when he came back out, the assistant manager came out and quickly apologized for his employee (as the employee yelled at me and blamed my son). The next day I spoke to the manager and said that the guy was no longer working there. I didnt ask for the man to get fired but be curious especially when there are children around!!!

Bowling is somethign I used to do often in High School. Team mates and I would let loose after a long week of practice, it’s a fun way to relax and a great way to compete in a casual atmosphere.
I came here on a whim one Friday a couple months ago. It was late and I did not feel like spending the night in the house or going out and spending to much money. My boyfriend lives rather close so we decided to head over and bowl a few games.
The parking lot is big and accomodating. Inside is the same. The décor is a little dated and dark (dark carpeting, dark wood paneled walls) but it’s everything you would expect from a bowling alley. There is no fancy, cosmic bowling or neon balls but there are plentyof lanes and seating. There are lockers for you to store things and a locker room near the restrooms. What I do like is that highly advanced to novice bowlers come to play here. There are league nights which are actually fun to watch and the front desk does the best it can to accomodate any size party within a reasonable amount of time. Prices arent bad at all but it does jump up during weekends.
There is a seperate bar area that is stashed with TV’s and sports paraphanelia. The bartenders are always pleasant and can even dole out decent recomendations on beers and mixed drinks if you ask.
behind the bar area, at the back of the alley is a grill station. They serve typical bowling alley food (hot dogs, burgers, nachos) along with cheesesteaks (pretty decent) chees fries, chicken tenders etc. Please be aware, they do NOT serve pizza. I get a little bummed about it at times but am always satisfied with whatever I opt for instead.
The lanes are well maintained, as well as the seating and bowling balls.
I’ve had the opportunity to talk to the front desk staff, and alley staff and I am always so appreciative of how friendly and genuine they have been with me.
I also like how diverse the crowd is here. It always adds to the energy of the place and even your game.
That first Friday turned into every Friday for about 3 months, then some Saturdays and once or twice a Wednesday night.
