AMF Riverside Lanes

Staff was friendly and helpful. It’s a nice family friendly environment and the price of playing is not bad. Music selection and sound system were great. Overall had a great bowling experience.

They were reasonably priced. Everything was clean and we had a great time. We will definitely go back on some random Saturday or Sunday afternoon with our kiddos.

Aside from not enough people working to handle the rush, the service was good. Came for late night bowling for a friends birthday and they were playing decent music. The bartender was very friendly too. My only complaint was the pricing for the food. It was pretty expensive for a snack bar! Also, I found it disturbing that one of the cashiers was handling sales while wearing the same gloves she was preparing food with. Cross contamination? Gross.

We’ve been bringing the kids on Sundays and Tuesdays for their specials, a good deal. But if you come in any other day be sure to buy the Groupon, it has to be purchased 24 hrs in advance. The food is expensive so try to feed your kiddos beforehand!

If I could give this place zero stars I would. We came here with a few friends and we decided it to bring along our 6 month old, since it’s just bowling, no harm in that. When it came time to change my son’s diaper there was no changing table in the women’s restroom, and no sign that there had ever been one either. What kind of family oriented business not have changing table? I was a little annoyed by this and will not be returning anytime soon.

Worst experience for a birthday party ever! They ran out of cheese for the pizza, lettuce for the hamburgers, and chicken wings! The wait for the high priced food was over 45 minutes and the food was not great at all. The employee that helped the party we attended was nice but the food issue was a big negative for us. The reason was the truck never showed up with their food in the am, not my problem! There is some lack of management of the food for this to even happen! I do not recommend this place for a party! And after they ran out of all this food, they still didn’t allow us to order pizza elsewhere and have it delivered! They offered no accommodation!

Really bad customer service. Had to wait in line to get anything. Couldn’t have more than 2 cups with you. The machines kept jamming and we kept having to wait around till someone came and fixed it. We couldn’t finish our last game cuz it jammed again. The kids were fed up and we left. The food wasn’t too good. Tasted like old oil. The pizza tasted like greasy cardboard. Everything was dirty and greasy. The bathrooms smelled gross and were very messy. After spending so much money there I would expect better service. No one ever came to check on us. I’m sorry I wouldn’t recommend reserving a lane for a birthday party. I called early in the week to reserve everything for my daughters bday party. Left voicemails. Didn’t get a respond till the day of the party. Overall the quality and the experience was bad. I don’t recommend this place to anyone.

I’ve been to all the bowling alley’s in the inland Empire. This one is my favorite by far. Never overcrowded. Always clean. And the staff is personable. All the way from Neil and Eric at the front desk, to the girls working in the snack bar, to the bartenders in the bar. I’ve been here a handful of times, and everybody remembers me from small conversation. That’s what the experience is all about. I brought many friends here and will continue to do so for years to come. Thinking about joining a league here just because it is my favorite house.

I love this bowling alley. Totally updated and always a great atmosphere. We have been coming on Tuesdays and Sunday’s for the $ 2 bowling special and all of our friends are starting to join in. Employees are always nice and helpful. I’m glad to see an updated bowling alley in riverside and I highly recommend everyone check them out.

We bowl here every week and 90% of the time Eric is at the counter to greet us. Eric always seems to be pleasant and courteous to assist with our bowling needs while at the bowling center. Food service is always good and the food staff is very friendly. The bar flow is faster when Shawn is working, Michele gets backed up a bit but does her best to try and provide quick service. Often the lanes are dry. We enjoy the experience here and have a great time.

What a nightmare!!!
1 bartender on Friday night…30 minutes for a drink?!! I can’t even imagine if I even attempted to order food…
Overpriced for shoes… what a joke!!!
I have 3 kids with me…@4 $ a pop for shoes and another 5 $ PER GAME… that they go thru in 15 minutes…
This place sucks!!!
Ps…my 5 year old just informed me the water fountains broken

Visited this center a couple days ago. I used to come here allot years ago but have just recently got back into bowling. I noticed how dead this place is compared to how it used to be. Usually you would have to call every day of the week to ask if their was open lanes before you took the time to drive down there. But not even a concern anymore. There was hardly anyone there when we went and it was on a Saturday! I’m curious why. Whats changed? Other centers I go to are hoppin and boppin. But this place… just dead. One thing I hated was how many inexperienced, wannabe bowlers were there. Families letting their kids run up to the lanes while I WAS ON MY APPROACH. The rudest thing you could do to your neighbor bowler… I figured this would happen and that’s why I requested a lane far away from all the people there just for fun. But I was put a couple lanes down from a huge family, tons of kids. Not what I asked for. I would understand if it was a packed house, but it was dead. Plenty of lanes I could of bowled comfortably at, instead of next to people who don’t take the sport seriously. Something strange that I encountered was the cashier when I first walked in to pay for my games. When I called the lady on the phone said it was $ 4.98 a game. But when I get there, a guy helps me and says he’ll give me the league price and only charge me $ 1 and some change per game. That was awesome! But made me think why? Were they trying to get me to sign up for a league? I was given a brochure and explained the league stuff before paying, so maybe. I thought it was sort of unfair for the customers behind me in line. What price would they pay? Hmmmm… Last thing I’ll comment on about this center is the lanes and ball return equipment. First. The lanes… weird. Very unusual oil patterns or they might not have been oiled at all. Either way I could not bowl consistently. Definitely not a typical house pattern. Which also made me question the oil machine left out with the cord all over the place a couple lanes down from me. Lastly, the ball return equipment. I noticed quite a bit of damage on one of my balls. Lots of dings that weren’t there. Overall, I would say this is a fine center to go to if you’re inexperienced and just want to have some fun. For those of us that take bowling seriously, I think there are far better centers.

The lanes weren’t oiled at all. We bought 3 games and just got the last game refunded because it just was not enjoyable whatsoever. The guy helping us out even found out they hadn’t been oiled for 2 days. Waist of time! The guy admitting and having the manager come help him out with the refund should have gave us a full refund. How are you going to charge us for lanes that don’t have proper maintenance. It seems management has changed a lot. When Lily was the manager it seemed any issue can be resolved. This isn’t the first time this manager screwed us over.

Really irritating that you can never call and talk to someone. Stupid automated system you have to go through several times just to hear «no one is available to take your call» would give one star but the lanes are close to home.

Horrible!!! The Pro Shop Inside sucks!!! People are rude didn’t want to help. I went in that store and everyone looked like They where annoyed to help, We wanted to buy 5 pairs of bowling shoes and it came out to almost $ 200 dollars and that was fine, but the cashier guy said that they only took cash again we where fine with that but he was so rude in the way he talked to us. We gave him the full amount cash we asked for a receipt and again annoyed he said he will give us a receipt, but it will cost us $ 10 dollars more! I was like are you kidding me! He said that the extra $ 10 dollars was because now that he’s giving me a receipt he has to report it on his taxes… what?! OMG! Worst experience ever!!! DON’T GO THEIR PLEASE!!!

Went while at work to play pool, wasting x. Pool table not level, and there was only one. For for a quick hip in n out.

This is really a great bowling alley the manager is great! The online customer service is horrible, I booked a birthday party and the women helping us messed it all up. I wish they would allow there workers to book the parties it would be
more personal. Thanks, Kevin for making my daughters 15^th birthday party awesome!

I go to alot of bowling alleys and especially amfs and all bowlmor own now. This by far is the reason why I told myself I will not go to another one. Every house seems to be worse and less maintained. Here is a short story of my entire visit
Walked in on this Friday night when it should be prime time but it is empty and expect good service for sure since there is not too many people. Asked them for the specials and 5 dollar games and 16 dollars two hrs per person! Wow their rates is so much more than other centers and now I know why it’s dead.
Then I got to my lane my group had popcorn everywhere and requested to get it cleaned and nothing… 3 requests and I stopped asking and was there the entire night. Looked around and old drinks pitchers you name it been laying around… So at this point I was like heh… It’s another bowlmor owned house.
Here is the kicker that tipped off the night… They didn’t have waitresses in the busiest night but it’s ok… I went to bar to deal with only one bartender which is OK since there is no crowd… I asked her if she had the colors light tall tower like other amf centers… She immediately fired back and stated no amf center has this and they don’t carry that since it doesn’t exist… Whoa… I been to alot of amf centers and most of them have them but if they don’t I am fine. Then I asked her what are the specials and then she stated in a total smart a$$ attitude… «it’s Friday night and there are never specials!»… Really… So I then asked how much is a pitcher and she said 15 dollars and I responded that’s alot but can I get one Pretty please… Immediately she asked me” are you sure… At this point I was about to leave and just wanted beer so calmly said yes please… Thought this was over and then she checked I’d and toss I’d on counter and not in my hand and then said… This is not on special and if I am sure to get this pitcher… Wth! Omg please just pour the pitcher and gave her my card… Did not say anything else and left back to my lanes with pop corn everywhere still… I just finished bowling and actually left early since I was just so irritated.
Also my balls got chewed up in one of the lanes we were on and that didn’t help either but so over this bowlmor own amf, Brunswick zones now. Hope they shape up or just fold cause they are the ones killing this industry and not realizing it… Sorry I am a hard core Bowler and also like to have fun and cosmic party bowl but they couldn’t cover any of those grounds. Amf/​bowlmor please get your stuff together cause it is like 4 out of 5 centers where there is lack of service or lack of cleanliness.

Pretty typical bowling alley. Service was adequate. food was fried or pizza (average). Lanes/​balls were in good condition. Facility wasn’t anything above average.
I’d recommend if you are in the area.

Clean. Friendly staff. Bar. Which the guys loved. The kids loved playing. Decent pricing. Four stars because of the food. Ok but nothing special.
