Kerns Avenue Bowling Center

"Black-owned bowling alley which could definitely benefit from some enhancements and updates. Shoes are older, but they are functional. They could use some additional ball sizes especially for those with larger hands. Drinks at the bar are strong (I did have a long island iced tea, $10) and reasonably priced as was the food. For this review, I had a cheeseburger and fries ($10), though was notified in advance that they were out of fries and would get onion rings instead; ended up getting both which was nice. In the past, the wings were a standout item (not pictured in this review). Overall, if the goal is to bowl and you don’t mind missing the frills and modern features of newer alleys place, this place is fine."

"I came to this place with my family and it was horrible. It took 10 minutes just for somebody to come and when they did they gave us the most run down and disgusting shoes I ever seen, not to mention the fact the machines were not working properly and most of our time was wasted."

"I go here because it's a black owned spot and usually the music is good, but the whole place can use a face-lift. Parking lot is horrible, the bowling alley needs to be updated, and the shoes and balls need to be replaced. The shoes are very worn down and falling apart, and there aren't a variety of ball sizes. The vibe is usually good when the DJ is there though and the bowling deals aren't too bad."

"The fact that this place is still open is beyond me. Not only is the place disgusting , food is served uncooked, lanes broken , the bathrooms are dirty, and there are Ghetto employees, who, at this point are getting paid to stand around and play. I don’t even write reviews however I tried to give the place the benefit of the doubt. I was there to have fun and enjoy myself. Not only am I now missing out on work because I have FOOD POISONING but I’m also annoyed at the lack of professionalism or even HYGENE. This place does NOT care about its customers. I will not be returning. -10/10 Would Not Recommend !"

"One of the WORST bowling lane conditions in Buffalo and the Northtowns! Was there for the Beat the Champ Youth Qualifying and kids who normally bowl will over 200 could barely bowl 160-180. Lanes were extremely dry and the place had no heat. We will not be returning."
