They have very few light balls (10 pounds and under) and a worker came and took away one of our 8 pound balls without looking at us or saying anything. terrible service.

We been bowling in leagues here for the last 5 years. They post flyers for summer league yet we were not allowed to bowl on Weds because it's supposedly grandfathered in for returning bowlers. Well personally I think it should be first come first serve. Also bowlers always fighting for tables and you would think they would supply every lane with one. The good part the food there is good and bar is always working hard.

Good bowling. Fun times with the family. Stay away from margaritas though. Not good.

If I could I would leave 0 stars, not only are the weekends really full and no room to bowl but if you wanna play on the weekdays ur outta luck why? Because of Bowlers League or whatever I go in seeing more than 75% of the Lanes open. Not only that but they where also ignoring phone calls, and were mostly on their phones.

Bowling is fun but Buena Lanes is too expensive for the amount of play time and condition of rental shoes supplied. This is why the last time I visited was over two years ago, and I have a feeling it will be just as long before I return here again.

Bummer that they advertise open lanes now but don’t. Drove all the way there and even their sign says it but it’s all leagues. Thanks for being inconsiderate of my time.

I was there last night on a Saturday night with my family. The place is nice and atmosphere is good. The complaints I have is the arcade games for the kids. The claw machines are a rip off. My son hit one of the. Ones twice in a row, perfect. I even took pictures and it said “no winner, try again.” At $3.00 a game you would think it would be legit. And some of the games were broken down (air hockey etc). Secondly, I was in line for 15 minutes for the snack bar, get to the cash register and the sign comes up and the worker tells me and my hungry 18 month old daughter, “ I am taking a 15 minute break.” Why couldn’t someone tell me the whole time we were waiting in line? She could of served me since I was the last one in line and then had the sign up there warning others, but no we got turned away abruptly. Then the break took 35 minutes to come back. I basically had to wait almost an hour to order food that is too expensive and especially for the portions. Normally, I would feel like it is no big deal because it comes with the outing, but to have to wait and abruptly while my daughter was hungry…?!!! Bottom line, place is very nice; service is up to par, not enough employees to cover the customers, food is expensive. Someone should of covered for the snack bar crew. Highly understaffed.

Awesome place bathrooms are clean and the staff is pretty amazing. The food is very expensive and for what you get. Bartenders are the best too.

Nice spot, I would give it 5 stars but the lane kept messing up and wouldn't rewrack the pins so made the experience a bit unpleasant but other than that all was good.

Bowled with my nieces and mom. 1 hour with shoes was $60! What a deal! Many other places charge double that price. The place isn't as fancy as some other bowling locations (like Bowlero) so no fancy lights, animated screens, or even bumpers we could use for 1 player. But we had fun and it was an excellent price! We would totally go here again.

My only days off are league nights and it sucks that on these nights they have so many lanes available but won't rent them to the regular crowd. They would much rather loose on money then rent the empty lanes to none league members.
