Rowlett Bowlarama

Was told to wait an hour… an hour later was told another hour. No thanks I’m good.

Be ware. The waitress will end her shift make you close out your tab then keep working. I just don’t get it probably because I’m black.

I had a great time last night with my brother and friends. A lot of children and people in general, really cheap prices to bowl after 5pm; $ 4. Great deal and fun place to take the kids for a simple game of bowling. The staff was very nice as well. I’ll give it 5 stars for the fun atmosphere it brought to my fam and I.

I Come here often staff is good, and place is fun. Food isn’t too bad and lanes are always available.

This is a good place to hang out with friends and have a good time. It’s definitely family friendly. However, it would be nice of it were maintained a little better.

We’ve been here several times over the years and I like the updates they’ve done in the last year to the facility itself. The rental shoes are in rough shape so throw down $ 40 and buy you’re own if this is your haunt. It’s non smoking inside which is great.

I took my family here for a fun night of bowling. When we arrived to get our lane and shoes, there was a woman behind the counter who looked like she hated her job. She didn’t speak a word and only stared at me– for a minute I thought I was working at the bowling alley and that she was in fact a customer. Finally, a nice gentleman helped us out which led me to think that his woman co-​worker couldn’t speak. We needed to exchange shoes, so dreadfully the woman who hates her job was the only person at the counter. She didn’t speak a word during the entire exchange and looked extremely constipated. Having gotten the correct shoes, I sat down and noticed that this woman was indeed not mute– she was actually talking and flirting with male customers. Also, she has the time during work to take selfies. My family and I will definitely not be back, although we live near here we’d rather go to Main Event where they have great customer service. This woman needs to have janitorial or kitchen duties so she doesn’t need to deal with customers (preferably janitorial duties so she can alleviate her constipation).

Worst bowling alley ever! The management on Friday nights has to be the worst people trying to run a bowling alley ever! They put all there friends on lanes in front of paying customers. if you are not standing at the front counter when there friends walk in then they won’t give you a lane until there are more then 3 lanes open. We waited over 2 hours and where 8^th on the list the entire two hours!!! I watched over 15 lanes given out and we where still number 8! I asked to speak with the manager and was told they where to busy to here my complaint. The lanes are so screwed up from kids running up and down them! I wanted to file a complaint but once again no manager available, Then once we did get a lane the pinsetter was so screwed up that every third frame or so we had to wait 5 mins for them to reset it while we where paying by the hour. I figure we waited over 30 mins for the pin setter over the two hours of bowling. I askd to switch lanes as at that point several where open and I was told then you have to cash out and get back in line for another lane as the open lanes where for there friends who should be there any min… They never showed and all bowlarama did was loose me as a customer. What a terrible place. Just remember if you go there MANAGEMENT DOES NOT CARE! THE LANES ARE HORRIBLE BECAUSE THEY ALLOW KIDS TO RUN UP AND DOWN THEM!

We had a birthday party here for our daughter. Very organized though our host, Chloe. She was great with the kids. Rounded up bowling shoes, pulled the sizes, distributed them to the kids, rounded up the bowling balls for the kids. They now have a party room that was private and very roomy. They served pizza and soda for the kids, furnished the plates and napkins. Very well priced and ran smoothly. Thanks Bowl-​a-​rama for making this birthday a hit!

We’re at Splitz bar attached. Cool joint with live music. Queso is Velveeta I think… A bunch of tvs football!

I stopped by for a drink in the bar. It’s called splits. Unilocal doesn’t list it as a bar but it is separate from bowling alley .they have a live band. Awesome. Drinks are priced good and service is great. Also have virtual golf !!#!#### food does need work but bar doesn’t …

My 6 yr old twin neice and nephew are in out of town from Omaha, NE and we needed to do something fun and close to the house. So, bowling sounded fun and I have driven by this place over the years. We are sooo happy we went and will be returning! The staff was WONDERFUL! Everyone, especially operations manager, did everything andbeyond to make our experience wonderful! Can’t recommend this place enough :)

Doubles as a biker bar. You can win games for a sega genesis so it’s a cool place to go if you are still living in 1988. You can only buy infant socks so don’t wear sandals because you will be forced to acquire athletes foot. Would give half a star if that were possible.

I would love to know how the bowling is here, but we’ve never been allowed to bowl. We tried going on my son’s 4^th birthday. We got there at 5:20 and there was not a single occupied lane. All but one lane was set up for leagues. They said we couldn’t bowl because the leagues were coming at 6. We asked if we could just let our son bowl a few balls on the open lane before leagues got there. They said no. My son was disappointed so we tried to play arcade games but the card machines were broken. We left and went to Shenanaginz in rockwall and had a great time.
Today we tried to go for my husbands birthday. I called ahead this time. At 1pm the guy said there would be open bowling after 3:30 or 4 because that’s when the leagues leave. We showed up at 4:15 and they said they wouldn’t have lanes until 6pm. I said that I specially called ahead for that reason and he said «sorry we have leagues about to come in».
Apparently no one knows what’s going on at this place and they make no effort to please any customers. Some people (especially the second time when I called ahead) might at the very least offer a coupon or something. This place just says «sorry» really sarcastically. I almost never get angry about anything, but this place just makes me mad. We will never go here again. Go to Shenanaginz.

We really enjoy the bar with all the tv’s and choices of beer. The bartenders are awesome but the food needs work. The only real drawback is the actual bowling alley. All the noise and the kids wandering in and out drives me nuts! If they could close it off and keep the kids out after 8 pm or so, that would be great! But it can’t ever really be a true bar until they make some major improvements!

Daughters soccer team had a whole family gathering here last weekend. I have to say I had a good time as well as my daughter enjoying herself. It’s got a lot of room and even though busy the service was pretty speedy.
The food was a bit hit or miss, if you stick with the appetizers I think you’re better off. Prices weren’t bad on things and there was one stellar app stand out. It was a cream cheese stuffed and bacon wrapped jalapeño. Not done in a typical style but as halves almost like potato skins would come out. These things were the Juliet to my Romeo, I’m here to tell ya. Bacon cooked perfectly, the cream cheese wasn’t melted all out and the jalapenos still had crunch and worked real well.

Weekend nights are a cluster! We went to meet a friend around 8pm on a Friday night and knew we would not be bowling that night. We were told there would be an hour wait so we decided to walk around before we left. This is a great place for families. There’s a rather large arcade area near the entrance with air hockey (!) and many many games. The bowling alley is a decent size but the bar is what we zoned in on. It’s huge, and what I really liked is that there is a separate entrance so you don’t have to walk through the bowling alley is you just want to go in for a drink. It also has some pool tables and I could see coming here without ever intending to bowl. With so many flat screen tv’s, a great place to watch a game. Overall, this bowling alley really does have something for everyone. We’ll be back!

Wow. Went here with the fam last Sunday. First my little pager didn’t go off when my food was ready. I walked up to the counter to ask what was going on and saw my food sitting there, on the counter, cold. Nobody was around to ask about it.
Next, when we had about three frames left, an employee came and asked us to move because they had reserved our lane to someone else. Ther was plenty of extra lanes when we came in! Why didn’t they give us one that hadn’t been reserved? That wasn’t so bad though. We just told him we’d be done in a few minutes. But then another employee came up to us really aggressively and told us to move! We only had one frame left. Never going back there.
