AMF 34th Avenue Lanes

I learned about this bowling alley after seeing them advertised via Groupon.
I visited with two friends on a Friday afternoon and we had a ball! When we arrived getting parking was pretty easy but the lot was small and filled up quickly. There were plenty of lanes when we arrived but they also fill up pretty fast.
Once we got to our lane to start bowling we were greeted by a server who offered to take food orders. I did not order anything after reading the reviews of the food but my freinds did. They were not impressed with the taste of the food and they stated that they wished that they had waited until afterwards to eat because the prices were high. The service overall was decent but the receptionist needed improvement. Once we were assigned a lane we were confused as to which way our lane assignment was but she offered no help.
The place was pretty modern and had huge viewing screens playing various music videos. Each lane has an assortment of balls available in various colors and weights which is great if you want to change balls during a game. Each bowling lane also has a foul line buzzer which was set off several times in my lane because of attempts to cheat! LOL
At one point the type of music was switched from R&B to pop music and a staff member announced "nobody wants to hear this bs". We of course were shocked that this was allowed and our food server stated that she has been allowed to do that so she continues. I didnt mind the change in music - some songs I simply liked and some I didn't. I personally did not like the dim lighting especially when I knew it was daylight outside. Overall i enjoyed myself and this location is just as modern as those in the city just not as costly!

Awful place, very crowded and way too overpriced for such poorly run place. The customer service is very racist, when you put down your name on the wait list (which you always have to do because it is always filled with league people) you will never get called, the racist customer service only call their own people. Horrible environment, stay away if you can!! There many other way better places to bowl in NYC.

Loved everything service was great,waitress was great,manager was even very helpful, I had a 4yrs old birthday party there and everyone children and adults had a blast.Hot Wings and pizza was very good and staff was very professional and kind.I would definitely have another event there ☺100 percent satisfied. P.s. prices are even manageable. THANKS AMF FOR A GREAT EXPERIENCE!

Cosmic bowling nights are great! With the music and atmosphere it will be a fun night... been here twice before and was great.

But... I went on a Tuesday and we waited over 35 mins for a lane with I counted over 8 lanes available and waited over 50 mins for food that came wrong. ( blt in hamburger bread and hamburger in sandwich bread, no fries and missing orders) and the young server behind the bar was just horrible. Her attitude sucks, hey if you don't want to work then don't. Don't ruin other people night by rolling your eyes and throwing plates of food on the table.

If it wasn't for this night I would love to go again probably give it a few before returning hopefully management will train the staff in customer service. Just a real turn off.

First time bowling here and really enjoyed it. I did the special of 2 hour bowling with soda and pizza for four people and it was worth it. We managed to play three and a half games which was surprising giving our skills. The place was clean and not that crowded for a Saturday evening (around 6:30pm) so that was a positive. I will definitely be going back.
