Plum Hollow Lanes

I have bowled here several times. Well maintained bowling alley. Place is usually clean and the staff is responsive. Food is decent and the bar is stocked well. The lanes are operational most of the time and when they break down the staff responses quickly. Overall this is a cool place to bowl.

Went for New Years Eve the first time and enjoyed it so very much… great equipment, bowling balls and shoes. Staff most helpful and nice. Facility scores highly on facility upkeep and bowling experience. If you are looking for fancy lights and gimmicks and want to pay 30 or 40 buck to bowl… have a great time… but at Plum Hollow you get a great, solid bowing experience. No complaints… all pleasure and good old fashioned fun.

Was here for a company outing on my first visit and honestly this is a typical bowling alley but the food is good. Service is hit or miss but they have the best homemade chips here. The bar is nice but don’t go thirsty because at times there is no bartender the cook or person attending sales desk comes to help you.

I went with a group of 8 to have a birthday gathering. This place was a disorganized, slow mess from the moment we arrived. They clearly haven’t upgraded in some years. The snack bar was extremely slow. If he received three orders for three hamburgers, he would cook each order separately! I watched him drop bacon in the fryer for three burgers even though he had a turkey club sandwich order that also needed bacon. Instead, he started each order as though it couldn’t all be cooked at the same time. The menu showed refills for $ 1.00 but the snack bar staff said it was only if you paid for a large pop. That’s not what the sign said. Slow service getting signed up for our lanes. The woman giving out lanes spoke extremely quietly and seemed to be new. She had to keep asking the Supervisor for assistance. Despite the long line, he waived her off and kept cleaning off tables instead of coming to assist her so that we could get our lanes and begin bowling. We prepaid for two games each with eight players. In the 7^th frame of our second game, it told us we were done bowling and we needed to pay more if we wanted to continue. We had to go and explain to the slow woman at the front again that the machine had shut down our games prematurely. It was after 10:00 PM on a Sunday night. We just wanted to finish our games and leave. After arguing with us, she realized we were right and we hadn’t finished our game so she started the game back up. Most of us got to the 9^th frame before the machine shut down again and said we needed to pay for another game. When I went to the desk and told her the machine had shut down again, she said, but I gave you two free games already. I explained we didn’t use them because we couldn’t finish the game we were currently playing! She looked again and after a lot of hesitation, she realized AGAIN that we were still in the middle of a game. By this time, most of us were frustrated and not a little disgusted. I didn’t even bother to finish my game, I just left. None of us plans to go back. This was just a horrible experience all around. We’ll go bowling again, but not there.

**ONLY reviewing pub **
The waitress was OK — she was more focus on the game on the TV then serving but it was alright. We didn’t really come for the service anyway — my boy wanted to go somewhere a chill for a little bit and plus he was interested in the game as well. I truly believe the pool game was FREE (I think) — another guy picked up the game.
Draft beer was $ 3 in a tall glass — A REALLY NICE SIZE CUP.
I’ll be back to review the bowling area: when we arrived the place was empty and when we left there were ton of people there. There’s also deals on Living Social as well — so i’ll be back to redeem my voucher.

Came here Saturday night, it wasn’t a lot of people there but not a bad time. Paid a little over $ 6 for shoes and 1 games. Good lanes and balls, the bar has cheap and real good drinks. I can’t really speak on their food menu except it does look big, so that must be a plus. Overall, there are better bowling places and deals but i will say that plum hollow is worth a 2^nd and a 3^rd visit.

I believe that doing your best to take care of a customer easily trumps many negatives in business. Plum Hollow’s employees go above and beyond to take care of their customers. In fact, it seems they understand people do business with people they like first and foremost. That attention to detail gets them 4 stars.
The facility itself is older and small. But in my experience, everything works, the food is pretty good (typical bowling alley fare), and the prices are right.
I feel LUCKY (pun intended) to have a family oriented place like this one so close.

I’m not the biggest bowling fan but when I’m in the mood for hanging out with friends who do bowl we head over Plum Hollow Lanes. It’s a great alternative when you don’t feel like driving up 96. Plum Hollow is one of those places where you are bound to run into someone you know.
I enjoy this place because the environment is just live. People are having a great time just hanging out and of course people watching. This alley is comparable in price to other lanes. They’ve got video games and a bar.
It’s a great way to spend a late evening when you just don’t feel like hanging out in the clubs. Great family fun as well. But bring the kiddies in the afternoon please.

I love to bowl and my family frequents various bowling alleys around Detroit. Plum Hollow is actually one of the closest bowling alleys to my house and it’s always a favorite when me and my friends want to meet up for a night of laughs. This bowling alley is definitely not that large (in comparison to others I frequent) and it is also not as modern. However, the prices are usually decent and the open bowl hours are comparable. They also have a little bar area for those who want to catch a few sports (or who suck at bowling). The food is JUST OK, but of course that isn’t the main attraction :-)
