AMF University Lanes

Standard bowling alley with nothing really notable. Spent quite a bit with a party of nine on bowling, shoes, and food. They didn’t tell us the fryer wasn’t working until our pizza was ready so we didn’t get the wings, fries, or nachos we ordered. Saw a cock roach strolling across the soda machine… when it was pointed out to the staff they just kind of laughed and used a napkin to remove it out of site. The manager only offered up a buy one get one free on bowling — LAME! Refunded us for the food we didn’t get but still charged us for the pizza and drinks. Pizza was ok but pizza is kinda hard to mess up… Won’t be back to this establishment.

Regular bowling place. Pretty standard set up as far as bowling lanes go. We came here in the middle of a rainy Saturday with nothing else to do. Prices are about 5.29 per game it was four of us and we paid about $ 40 for 3 games and shoes. Pretty reasonable. It looks like they have a full bar area for night time. The bathrooms were clean which is a plus.

I just of the people here. The lanes are nice and the monitors are up to date. The wings aren’t that bad either! Thanks guys for doing such a great job!

Awesome place! Came by last night after I was in Tampa and I must say I had a great time. After 10 PM it was unlimited bowling up until 1 AM. Everyone that worked there was very helpful. They have a bar area as well as a concession stand with a good amount of snack and appetizer selections. We ordered lots of different things from mozzarella sticks to boneless wings and the price was decent. The drinks as well had very decent prices. Everyone there was very nice. Would definitely be back if I ever came around Tampa again

This place has been the same for the past 10 years and I’m totally fine with it. I still go here with the same high school friends I discovered this place with when we’re all back in town, so I guess it’s nostalgic in some ways. Super affordable as well — last time we went on a Wed or Thurs and it was only $ 7 per person (I think it was college night and she gave me that price anyways. even after I admitted I wasn’t in college).

Worst bowling alley ever, lanes suck, way to much oil on the lanes and no respect for league bowlers

These guys here are the best… they make u feel at home and they have the best servers and also the best staff… I enjoy coming here with my daughter…

When it comes to comparing different bowling allies in this part of town, this one probably takes the cake. It’s clean, well lit, the workers are nice, and the balls are organized. The other bowling allies are pretty dirty, they might have arcade games but half of them are broken. This place had college night on Wednesday and some other pretty good deals on bowling. Watch out because there food and drinks are a bit on the expensive side, but at least you can save on the games on some nights.
I was here for a college night and they didn’t turn on the black lights until it was closing time… a little lame if you ask me but still fun with friends.

Went with the kids on a Wednesday afternoon in the summer for a couple of games with friends. We decided to get food while we waited for everyone in our group to arrive. BIG mistake! There was a large group of kids there on a field trip which completely monopolized all staff members. It was like all other customers ceased to exist. After waiting quite awhile to even be acknowledged at the food counter I was finally able to place my order of two kids meals and some sweet potato fries, but not without some difficulty as the girl was distracted by the precious field trip group and only half listening to my order. 17 bucks later and some disappointment over not being allowed to have a large water we set out to wait for our food. It took a LONG time. After I received my food and finished eating it, my friend (who had ordered just after me) walked up to check on her grilled cheese, to see that he had just started cooking it. That’s when our other friend arrived and ordered, and didn’t get her food until we had finished bowling! Wow!
As for the bowling, we ran into the field trip problem at that counter as well. The one girl at the counter was fitting 30+ children with shoes (they didn’t know their sizes) while some other customers and us formed a line. When she was finally finished, she came over to assign us lanes. We went with just one game and shoes for two children. That’s $ 16.50! Wowsers. I can have 3 people bowl for that price at Royal Lanes in Lutz, and I can have two people bowl for 2 hours and get a pitcher of beer for that price at Pin Chasers! They did have ramps and 6 pound balls available, which was nice considering all the kids in the place. The bowling experience itself was fine, they equipped our lane with bumpers for the kids. We did have a couple occasions where the ball got stuck or didn’t make its way to the pins, but the girl at the counter was helpful when asked to fix the problem.
The bathrooms were quite torn up when we attempted to use them, and I wasn’t able to urinate in peace due to the aforementioned field trip group banging on my stall. No control whatsoever. Hard to believe they let a field trip group turn other customers off to their business! I’ve been here in the past on a Friday or Saturday night and it was packed. Being close to USF, there were a lot of college students, but also a mix of other age groups. They also have league bowling. In addition to the bowling, they have a full bar and an arcade. But, I’ve definitely experienced better.

Great friends always make bowling so much better!
We had two hours of unlimited bowling, for me personally, having a beer or two or maybe three ;) helps with getting better each time I bowl! The bartender needed to have better knowledge of drinks, we have to tell him what some of the drinks were.
The best part was the lights going down, music got louder, and it felt like being in Grease 2 or Across the Universe, only if everyone was in sync!

For a bowling alley this place is nice and clean looking inside. I’m not really sure about the price since we were here for a work function; but we are thinking about going back on a Sunday to take advantage of their $ 10 all you can bowl deal that they have going on right now. The bowling employees there are all very friendly and welcoming. Really the only down side to the whole place is the food, I know it’s a bowling alley so what did you expect? It was decent enough, but the prices were a little high and the beer was even expensive. We’ll give it another try, but probably eat before we go to save some money.

Last night I went to University lanes for the first time with my husband, his parents and our 2 year old son. Myself and my mother in law did not bowl, yet the my husband his father and my son still spent over $ 40 just to bowl! Same price for everyone, including a two year old. Come on, movie theaters give discount prices to children, he even gets in free to major theme parks! The lanes were decent but the food was over priced and terrible, plus they didn’t even get our order right. We ordered loaded nachos and out came some burn tortilla chips with some watery nacho cheese. We also ordered mozzarella sticks which come out not very hot with ice cold marinara sauce. We won’t be going back.

Terrible place, horrible experience. Bowled ONE FRAME decided to leave due to poor service and the assistant manager never asked why I wanted a refund and why I was unhappy and even then didn’t tell me he wouldn’t give me a full refund anyway. So I lost $ 9 bucks on one frame. Won’t be back.

They only had one employee working at the place of business… I ordered a simple Buffalo Chicken sandwich… It took an hour and half to receive my sandwich when i discovered that they made BBQ Chicken Sandwich… The décor of the place is out dated… Bathrooms are nice… when we commented on the service to the manager he only managed to come up with excuses for his sub par service

Mondays is hosp night and it’s 4 $ all u can bowl from 10pm to 1am. They have 1 $ shots and 4 $ pitchers, and on wen it’s 5 $ from 9pm to 12 so all in all you can’t beat that

One of the cheaper options for bowling in town. The place is still pretty nice, it gets the job done, and you can still have a great time with friends. I hear the place can get packed, but it has been pretty empty all the times I have been. The food is kind of pricey, so you may want to eat elsewhere.
