AMF Garland Lanes, Texas, United States
2.5 (9 reviews) Spent Ranking #11 in Garland Bowling Alleys
Chaotic Fun
Place was busy & understaffed. We did get a call within 15 minutes that a lane was ready, but had to wait in a long line with one register open. Scoring boards were messed up adding a few pins, but atmosphere was fun with the lighted disco ball affect. Crowd was diverse, but did not know lane etiquette. Staff was friendly & helpful when we did speak. Had s good time despite of shortcomings.

Poor service
We came here two months ago and had a wonderful experience, so decided to come back when we were in town. Our lane broke down and there were three ladies working the desk who did not seemed to care. It was mid afternoon and very slow and they were just standing around chatting. I grabbed an older gentleman walking around and he got us some help. We waited over 30 minutes before we could continue bowling. Had a 5 and 3 year-old with us, so this was no fun. There were three adults and the two children and we each bowled 3 games, paying well over $100.00. We should have gotten at least free drinks or some type of compensation for the wait. Will check out a different bowling alley the next time we return to the area.

Could be better
We usually bowl at AMF Richardson but decided to give the Garland Lanes a try. When you first walk in the Garland location looks really nice & has a lot of lanes (at least 60 I believe). An unexpected item in this bowling alley is horse shoe pits, I've never actually seen anyone play them but it's something different than the usual pool tables, arcade games etc. There is also a pro-shop at this location. My #1 complaint & the reason I would never bring anyone here is that you can still smoke inside. It's 2015 how can you smoke inside anywhere?! My other complaint is the front desk people aren't exactly helpful/friendly. One time when we were here & had pre-paid to play 4 games during the 3rd game it said "pre-paid limit coming to an end" so my husband went up to the front desk to get it fixed. Instead of just fixing the problem the manager accused him of doing something wrong that was causing the system to think we'd already played 4 games. Isn't there an old saying "the customers always right" ;) And lastly even though they have a lot of lanes they tend to put groups in lanes right next to other groups even when there are tons of open lanes throughout the entire bowling alley. A few easy changes could go a long way for this place.
