AMF Richardson Lanes

I went here last night and I had a great time. Everyone that was working last night was really nice. There were a lot of families there last night and everyone seemed to be having a great time. I like the music videos which made it fun to bowl. Bowling a can be very pricey so we were excited to see all the specials AMF has. We will definitely be back.

Back in the day this used to be a wonderful bowling alley. It’s unfortunate that it is not anymore. The lady at the front desk was nice but everybody else walked around with an attitude. Our waitress had an attitude and I caught her making fun of us with another worker when we were singing to the music. There was hardly anybody there when they should of been busy which makes me think we’re not the only people that have been treated badly. The lanes were junk, I’m an experienced bowler with my own ball and I couldn’t even get a strike on those lanes. The people next to us had their lane breakdown several times. I will never go back to this bowling alley but I will always have the memories of when they were once a good alley.

This place is pretty nice! $ 20 for unlimited bowling starting at 10pm with shoe rental included. Not a bad deal on a Friday night! Not that packed either :)

Don’t go here. They were great back in the day. Now they are rude and way short staffed. Takes you over an hour to get food. Oh and 1 bartender? Cmon! To top that hes slow as hell and honestly doesnt even seem qualified. Go to plano super bowl. Better service!!! And friendly!

We came here on Saturday afternoon. First time bowling for the little ones. We got situated pretty quickly but on a Saturday there was No Pizza. REALLY? The lane broke about 3 times in the first game.
So after two games we decided to leave only to learn that they got one guy working the desk and a line out the door. I’ve been waiting over 20 minutes and the line is still at the door. don’t check in with your credit card and don’t come on a Saturday afternoon. Never again. Go to a Main event or something it costs more but they staff better. Never again

I think I’m going to need to buy some bowling shoes. Think about this money saving tip. If you buy shoes for $ 20, you’ll have to go to the bowling alley for at least 4 times as long as you fit those shoes… not a bad deal. Anyways, the price on Thursday as well as most weekdays were not that bad. They price it per game, so I played 4 games for a total of $ 20 plus a pair of shoes for $ 5 to borrow. For around 2 hours, I guess it wasn’t that bad but next time I would go to this place for their Monday special of $ 12 for all you can bowl. It wasn’t too busy, and the attendant was helpful and knew what he was doing. The bathrooms however, were pretty disgusting. It smelled like urine and didn’t seem clean, but I guess I don’t really expect much from bowling alleys. Will come back next time though!

The waitress Ashely is the worse. Only two lanes were occupied and took two hours for a beer? During corporate challenge she has not once check on our table. She just stands there daydreaming. Laziness person ever and it not just from one visit. The bathrooms are disgusting with cockroaches and the bowling shoes have knots. Horrible beat down place. Tip: fire her! Not worth the paycheck

Family fun! great for kids to learn to bowl with bumpers. Low daytime rates during the summer, especially economical if you buy the $ 22 summer pass for kids. Exceptionally helpful staff, Avery got us our pizza and drink order, and continually came to see if we needed refills. 80’s MTV videos on the big screens was perfect for mom to relax while kids bowled. This is the perfect place for families with kids age 12 and under to spend a few hours in a clean safe environment… no need to spend big bucks on glamorous gaming places.

We came here on Sunday night with a large group from my church, First United Methodist Church Richardson. While I was hoping to snag a good deal, being in a large group, I was shocked to pay close to $ 30 for my husband and I. This covered two hours of bowling and shoe rental. While this isn’t an awful deal, I was hoping to get a better deal for being in a large group.
Our group ordered a few pizzas while we bowled. I was surprised at how good they were. Yum!
All in all, I would probably come back on a weekday night when they are running deals!

Okay, I gave it another chance, even though I swore I would never go back. My son in law wanted to go, so we went. I was glad we did. They must have changed management, or he/​she woke up! The staff was plentiful, friendly, helpful, professional and interactive. Staff was polite. .. total opposite of our last visit. Way opposite. .. cause last time the staff sucked big time. Some of them even came by our lane once in a while to cheer us on after a lucky roll. Totally different environment than our previous visit. We didn’t have food but maybe next time. Price for bowling is too high, but we were there on a Friday night. I think they offer some good weekday specials. Too dudes even told us goodbye when we left. Can’t wait to go back. .. on a cheap night!

Had a date there. It was cool. Nothing really stands out.

We got there early and it was ok. But later on, more people came and it was kind of hectic. Maybe the place was under-​staffed. We couldn’t get to talk to the staff or customer service.

To the lady who was at the counter on November 4^th at around 9 pm, shame on you. Yes, I’m calling you out because I don’t know what made you give us such attitude. When we walked in, we saw that there was a special on Tuesdays. We asked about it and she told us about it. Then, my friend asked if they still had the $ 10 unlimited bowling deal going on and she goes «I was going to tell you about that until you interrupted me.» I thought it was a joke in which she would follow that with a «I’m just playing» or «just kidding», but she was totally being serious. Um, rude. Then as my friend was giving her his credit card to pay, she asked if he was sick. Excuse me?
Aside from that very unacceptable instance, bowling here ain’t bad. I honestly don’t really bowl ever, and if I do, it’s always been here, so I guess it’s pretty standard. At night, the nights turn off and music starts playing so it’s cool I guess.

Don’t go there on a weekday cause they won’t have lanes available and they close at midnight. There are leagues playing daily. I wouldnt know about the Weekend but Call First just in case. The one thing that separates this place from plano super bowl is their cocktail service but it is slowwww… my friends and I always remark that they should just carry the drinks on a cart back and forth. At a bowling alley all people order are buckets and pitchers so why not take it all at once.
Good lanes. Very cozy and friendly. Everything you would expect in a neighborhood bowling alley.

It’s too bad that they charge 5.99 PER PERSON per game. The entire time we were there they played best of the 90s rap/​hip hop. It was disgusting especially since there were young children bowling around us and they had to see half naked women on the screen and guys talking about sex. NOT family friendly. Bathrooms weren’t clean either. Won’t be back to this amf. Been to other AMFs that were better. Shame

Entire building was filthy from bathrooms to tables at the lanes. Staff at front desk was rude, they did not have size 12 shoes and, as mentioned by others, there were technical problems with lane that made us stop and wait.
Our group did have fun though, so I must give a second star.

The balls we threw out never came back, and the manager blamed us for throwing too powerfully. I’m only human.

I hadn’t been bowling in years so gave it a shot. Paid about $ 12 a person, $ 24 for two, which got us a lane and shoes. I think it may have been a price for all you can bowl because we were there over an hour and played four games = my max bowling, I guess.
It’s a bowling alley. Nothing crazy. Non-​smoking. Full bar. Fantastic people watching (one lady, four kids… a man in a robe, a party with towers of donuts, american flag pants, it. goes. on.). They also have an incredible assortment of quarter machines in case they amuse you like they do me.

I like this place: It’s smoke free, they have plenty of pool tables, and the equipment is usable.
It’s a bit expensive, but then again I’d like to know of a cheap bowling alley.

This place simply does not deserve the current 2.5 stars (July 2011). If you’re entertained by glitzy, shiny things and want to get dressed-​up to go bowl, then 300 is for you. If you couldn’t care less which outfit you wear to the lanes, then AMF is more your speed.
Pros: It’s clean, SMOKE-​FREE, well-​lit, family-​friendly (but with a full-​bar to make kid’s Bumper Bowl parties tolerable), adequate food selection and quality, and it can be an affordable way to pass the time *indoors* when it’s 105 outside.
Cons: Bowling ain’t as cheap as it used to be. I underestimated the tab I could run up by TWO people in two hours: Shoes for two ($ 9), three games X 2 bowlers on one lane ($ 36), a pitcher of beer, margarita, and small personal pizza ($ 30). So, nearly $ 80? Geez, can anyone say, «Groupon?»
