AMF Price Lanes

Went tonight to bowl a few games, and the front desk lady was kind of rude. I asked about the Sunday night rate, which the website said was $ 2.50 games from 6 — Close, and which the sign behind the desk said was from 8 — close. So I asked about that (it was 7:30) and she acted like I was a complete idiot for being confused, and when she said it was from 6 to close I said, «Great, can I get three games please?» Now, when I walked in, I could tell it was busy, but on my way to the front desk I noticed two or three lanes that did not have any people bowling on them. So when I asked for 3 games, she gave me a blank look and said, «I have no lanes» and then stared at me. I guess those open lanes I saw were broken or something. So after a few seconds of that I said, «okay…» and she finally said, «I have two other people waiting, it could be a few minutes, it could be, I don’t know how long. Are you waiting?» She seemed to think I was being a complete inconvenience for coming to a bowling alley in order to bowl. So I said, «thanks anyway» and went to Pleasant Hill Lanes instead, they offer $ 2 games on Sunday nights. I don’t think I’ll be going back to this alley.

Walked into this bowling alley for the first time in years only to be ignored by 5 employees as they walked by us at the counter without a word. After 20 minutes of waiting around and being ignored, an employee finally comes out to tell us we cannot bowl as a league is coming in. We explained that we only wanted to play one game and that it would be less than a half hour (which seemed reasonable since there was not one other costumer in the building at 5:15) and was turned away. If you’re going to turn business away while not one person is in the bowling alley, at least be up front and not let us stand around for 20 minutes expecting to bowl. R.I.P. Brunswick lanes on Main St., this place couldn’t come close to them.

This is the worst Bowling alley I have ever bowled in my 30 years of competitive bowling. The lanes break down almost randomly. The pins are dead, a normal league starts at 6:30 and finishes around 9 however we finish close to 10pm because of the breakdowns of the lanes. This house is pathetic for league Bowling. Lastly when the lanes do break down the mechanics take their time fixing it normally a 10 – 15 minute wait which is disgusting service.

Today is all you can bowl in 2 hours for $ 10 per person. This includes shoes so this is a great deal for a family. You have to subscribe to their email list to get the coupons. She almost charged me regular price but I was able to bring it up on my phone. They also have $ 2 Tuesday’s after 8 pm (shoes, games and beer). Our shoes are pretty new. So, that’s definitely a plus. The balls are pretty easy to fine. And, the lanes are clear. The lady at the counter wasn’t the friendliest but maybe they are only warm and fuzzy to regulars and league bowlers not the «coupon folks». She wasn’t helpful in trying to find the right size shoes for my son who still wears youth sizes. Hell, I couldn’t convert it into men’s. But we found a pair that worked. They also have a few video games including my favorite Ms. Pac-​Man. I did appreciate her leaving one lane in between customers. The cashier just came by to take orders for the snack bar which I thought was very nice. She also explained that only two folks are working due to the holiday. So, that definitely improved my entire experience. It was nice of her to ask for orders.

Ok so we came back because my wife wanted to see if Jeremy was working there again yet. We were told his lay-​off was temp. It wasnt… Alot of new faces, unfortunatly Brenda was still there. She was rude to us the last time we came and she was even worse this time. I guess AMF is more interested in getting rid of people who help customers and hire those who could care less. The food was good still and Kieth (FB Man.) Was very friendly. The bartender was stealing tips too. Ive never seen anyone that incompitant. We orderd two big bowl drinks and a beer. We got (25 mins later) the beer and four big bowl drinks. But charged us for only a soda? Normaly we wouldnt take advantage of that but her servise and the shitty night ment we were gonna take advantage to her mistake. My wife say’s she likes coming because it gives her something to laugh about. Over priced food, drinks an out dated bar the list goes on and on. And now no Karaōke??? But good news, the folks who did the karaōke Ghostar Entertainment are at JB Mcginnes in New Castle on tuesday nights so we’re going there now…

Stopped by here Sunday afternoon before the superbowl to bowl a couple games. They have a good deal on Sundays, where we had bowling for 2 people including shoes, for two hours. The cost was $ 25.00. We were able to get 4 games in easily. This alley compared to some of the others locally is much nicer. It is also the largest. They were advertising a special on Tuesday nights after 8pm. $ 2 games, $ 2 shoes and $ 2 PBR’s. That’s a really good value. This is my preferred bowling alley in the Wilmington area.

It was a awful place. They don’t value their customers. We check in for the 2hr special for 17.99 and they place use in a alley where someone else is. Keep in mind my group was big size. So we had to share seatings even thought there was penalty of alley open. The other group finish bowling and leaves there mess at the table the maintenance pass by multiple time and didn’t clean it. Our waiter took forever to place our order. Her name was Victoria. She took advantage and stole money from me. She charge me 22.74 for 2 order of 4 piece of tender and lg. drink with lg. fries. I ask for the receipt and deny it. So I went to the from desk and ask for my receipt and the man goes «I didn’t ring you up ask whoever did». I asked Victoria again and he hurried up and rang me up again but she add the price for one thing so it can add up to the total. I ask for explanation but she run off pretending to be busy. She basically took advantage that I was a young teenage girl and basically rob me for my money. In general DONT COME HERE. THEY DONT VAULE CUSTOMERS. & HAVE SHITTY SERVICE.
There will be two pictures posted to show you my receipt and the food given to me.

I was hoping to have a fun night bowling at this location. When we first walked in a vey friendly worker greeted us. From there on everything went downhill. We arrived at 7:30 and the $ 2 bowling started at 8:00, so we decided to go to the food bar and get something to eat. When we walked up to the food bar we accidentally went to the wrong counter, then very rudely the lady working there snapped at us to go to the other counter. When it came time for me to order, the person working the food bar was extremely rude. When she asked me questions and I didn’t understand, she snapped at me very fast and rudely. We then continued to bowl. After bowling we decided to play some of the games they had. When I was playing one of the games, the machine «ate» my money. This did not bother me because games do that on occasion. When I went up to the counter to get my money back, the man working the counter was helping someone else. Then another person came up to the counter, the man proceeded to help the other woman before he helped me. When he finally got done with her, I asked if I could get my money back. In a rude voice he said, «I have no control lover the machines.» And the he walked away. Unfortunately Unilocal does not give you the option to give an establishment zero stars, if I could, I would. I highly suggest you go to a different bowling alley.

Great place to bowl, eat, drink, bring the kids and have a great time. Staff is friendly. And on Friday nights the bar hosts karaōke! Best in DELAWARE!

I came here for a «Big Brothers/​Big Sisters» bowling fundraising event. It was my first time at this alley. It was bigger than I expected. The parking lot isn’t that great, kind of sketchy. The location is on the corner of Kirkwood Highway in Prices Corner, and across the street from a minimum security prison and a state police barrack.
The inside was clean, they had an arcade, and a connected «birthday room» for parties. They had color coordinated balls for the weights. The staff seemed nice. I didn’t check out if they had a pro shop. I mean it’s a bowling alley, what is to be expected. Their allies were smooth, none of the lanes had issues, no balls were stuck in the returns.
I joined a summer league with a couple of people so I will write an update if it is warranted. But I know I will post more pictures.

Traditional, classic no frills bowling right here! Came here on a Sunday night and this place was packed with families, groups with no kids, couples, etc. Waitress service for food and drinks, the food seems to be along the lines of standard snack bar food. The only thing I didn’t care for is the seating arrandment of the alley. Instead of every two lanes having their own little U shape seating arrangment, this place has every 4 lanes in a giant U shape. So for 2 lanes there is only 5 seats on the alley, so hopefully you’re friendly with the people sharing the ball return with you.

I don’t go bowling much so I don’t have much of a yardstick for comparing prices and facilities at bowling alleys. This place looks fairly decent though. It’s just off Kirkwood Highway and you can park in the private lot near any of its 3 entrances. The only problem I noticed is they may be having some trouble keeping the place clean on busy nights. On a recent night when I was there, the carpet was wet and one of the toilets was stuck.
