We we initially had a great time bowling until a group of people next to us who approached us and tried to start a fight with us about seating. The staff was not helpful in resolving it and automatically put the blame on us when we have been sitting there for the last hour quietly. Staff should never yell at the customers and anything else could've been done. We simply moved to another lane afterwards because the staff did nothing about the problem, except made us feel even more uncomfortable and unwelcome. Extremely disappointed in how the situation was handled and do not recommend coming here.

Wanted to rent a locker for my bowling bowl as I'm on a league there. They want $35 a year where Cloberbank bowling in Hamburg only want $15. Such greed

We hosted a family party at Strikers and it was a great experience from start to finish. Nicole and Brandi were very helpful in planning food options and timing- they answered every question I had and gave useful input. When we arrived, the party area was clean and already fully set up. They had a basket that was readily available with extra plates, cups, napkins, etc., which made it easy to grab whatever we might need without having to ask someone. The food was very good (I wasn't expecting much at a bowling alley) and everything was ready right on time. As a nice finishing touch, I had forgotten to take a pair of serving tongs that I had brought with me. Brandi took the time to locate and set them aside for me to pick up. Just very impressed overall; would highly recommend Strikers!

Took 2 High Schoolstate champion to practice there. Not one other person bowling in the the place! I asked for 2nd lane and received a scowl look, then had to ask to put on alternate league play, so they bowl on both lanes. I was told owner doesn’t like to because if bowler accidentally bowls on wrong lane. Well my young teenager bowled wrong lane once , and lanes shut off in 9th frame for BOTH bowlers. I ask went to counter and asked if they could finish !
They said NO , that’s why we don’t put in league play !! God forbid she bowl one extra frame !! But it’s ok the other bowler only bowled 29 frames!!
I’ve been around bowling lanes over 55 years and never encountered such rudeness and no regard for customer appreciation!!

Overall it is a nice bowling area for neighbors to get together. I took three children with me and we had a great time, they were tired after two games. We did not have the food.

Strikers Bowling Alley isn’t just the best bowling alley in Buffalo — it’s the Notre Dame Football of bowling alleys: tradition, grit, and pure excellence. The second you walk in, it’s like stepping into the Irish locker room before a big Saturday night showdown. The lanes are cleaner than a Mike Denbrock game plan, and the pin action hits harder than Bryce Young off the edge. You’re not just bowling here — you’re executing, drive after drive, frame after frame. This place doesn’t mess around. Chris Ash could be managing the oil patterns for all we know — everything is tight, controlled, and absolutely dominant.
Forget the sad excuse for lanes in Buffalo that bowl like they’re coached by Penn State. You know the ones — dead vibes, wobbly pins, zero heart. They’re the James Franklin fourth-quarter offense of Buffalo bowling: inconsistent, awkward, and somehow overhyped every year. Meanwhile, Strikers rolls like Drayk Bowen commanding a defense — no-nonsense, full throttle, and built to win.
The vibe at Strikers is elite. It’s got the smooth flash of Will Pauling and Malachi Fields stretching the field — or in this case, nailing strikes back to back with style. Jeremiyah Love’s vision? That’s the ball return system. Fast, smooth, and always in the right spot. The food? Total walk-on hero story — doesn’t look like much, then suddenly it’s giving you wings that hit like a game-winning kick at the buzzer. And if you need a little support, don’t worry — the bumpers at Strikers are basically Leonard Moore locking down every missed shot with five-star reflexes.
Strikers isn’t a bowling alley — it’s a full-blown football Saturday in lane form. Championship vibes only. Buffalo's weak, Penn State-tier alleys can’t compete. Strikers is where contenders roll. Irish forever.

Called ahead and asked if they had lanes open, they said yes. Drove down, and they said no! Upsetting I had to drive there to find out!

Been going here for years but keep forgetting to review it. Great place to bowl as we usually have at most a short wait on a weekend night. Pizza, wings, and poutine fries are great. Accommodating staff. Highly recommend.

Called to book a party for 50 people and the woman on the phone acted as though I were the biggest inconvenience to her. When the date I was looking at wasn’t available I asked her what dates were and she said “sure it’s not like I have a line of people in front of me.” And then let out a huge sigh. I hung up.
