Review update: The price of beer on certains nights has been fixed. Nice response time? Everyone who works at this center has always been nice but unfortunately that doesn't help with the equipment. It's kinda old and break downs happen regularly. I will say that this has improved too though but if you're at all a serious bowler, go to Edsall Road instead. Or Falls Church. Or Woodbridge or Dranesville.
Not a terrible bowling alley. It's very very dated if you go inside - the TVs and consoles all look like they've never been replaced since the 80s. It was a little strange feeling, but also kind of a cool throwback compared to the modern bowling places that have crazy animations and stuff all over the screen. This place wasn't about any of that - just good simple bowling.
Speaking of, the actual bowling itself is quality. Good lanes, decent balls and rental shoes. Staff were friendly enough as well. They also do 9 bucks for all you can bowl, which isn't a bad deal at all. Overall, this is a place I could recommend.
Terribly overpriced and horribly run. I thought with the price increases and the new Bowlero bowling listed on the website I was in for a day of nice and fancy bowling...that couldn't have been further from the truth. This place is still the same dumpy bowling alley from the 80's. That's not the bad part, the staff literally just stare at you when you walk in and offer almost zero assistance when the lanes have an issue. When I asked the manager about ingredients of food items being served at a kids party he had no idea what was in the food and wouldn't provide a ingredients list....yeah Bowl America Burke is not somewhere I'd spend another penny.
Bowl America is transitioning to Bowlero. Currently undergoing some renovations but still open. Hope they keep seating. Staff very helpful, courteous and knowledgeable. Bowling on morning league is quite fun.
Average bowling alley at best. Seems most lanes have difficulty giving your balls back. Tons of resets needed. Best things about this place are the draft beer, fries, pretzels and chicken fingers.
It’s an average bowling place. Nothing special. I think it is a little overpriced especially the food. Everything looks like it’s from the 1980’s. Even the machines are old. The place needs to be renovated and updated. The pins get stuck in the middle. And you can only have either bumper guards up the entire time or no bumper guards at all. There is no in between.
The manager of this alley is rude when you try to clarify prices. Going to report this to corporate. Gave me the shrug and everything for doing your job. Great customer service lol. He’s definitely climbing the corporate ladder that way
