My family and I enjoyed the hours that we spent bowling together here. There is no food served at this location but the vending machines contain enough snacks and cold beverages to fuel your body. Restrooms are clean. Knowledgeable and friendly service!Looking forward to coming back soon.Thanks for a great time.

We went to Buffaloe Lanes for a team activity. The facility is clean and nicely kept. The staff was friendly and answered the questions we had about group rates, bowling by the hour/game.We had enough people for two lanes. When we got there, they were having league bowling. They were staying able to accommodate us by getting two lanes next to each other.The electronic scoring was easy to use. Wee were even able to customize the bowlers to have bumpers automatically raise for those that needed it.We got food which, considering it was at the bowling alley, was very good.Well definitely go back.

Nice clean place. They were sanitizing everything and kept people apart as far as the lanes. We drive 30 mins to come here even though I have one in my own town 10 mins away. This place is much better.

Great family friendly bowling with arcade and party room. Very clean and the assistants provided for birthday parties is a nice touch. Bowling shoes well taken care of and plenty of bowling balls. Arcade has operational video games, which is rare. Pizza was tasty as was birthday cake. Highly recommend.

Very rude people. Awful experience. Asked for a lane change as there were too many people and there were so many open lanes, they constantly came up with an excuse. Never will I come back here.Worst costumer service. Pay the extra buck and go to amf

Been coming here for years and it has been updated some, but also just has that classic bowling alley feel. Our family loves it. We’ve done birthday parties here, summer times, and just the sudden drop in. The kids really like the updates made recently to the prize counter!

Its cheaper than most places and its family friendly. Their restrooms are clean, which apparently isnt the case for other bowling alleys. The downside is that it doesnt seem very lively. Its really more for little kids and families. If youre a college student with your buddies expecting a party-like experience, youll literally drive home earlier and sober. You might as well bring your homework too because you can actually concentrate here. I wish cosmic bowling was possible at 4pm. But because Im a family man, Im coming back to this place though.

Very nice place, people and lanes. The rails are now automatic which was convenient. The snack bar was great for a pretzel and slushy (the cashier even brought ba k change after realizing she overcharged us by accident!).My 9 yr. old and I had a great time and well recommended. We chose their $30 pkg deal for 6 games (3 each), shoes and tokens.

Had kiddo birthday party here. Kids enjoyed themselves. Pleasantly surprised. Reasonably priced for bowling, some video games. Can bring own food. But must buy their food, which sucks bc their food sucks. Cmon, hows good can bowling alley food be?

Sadly 1/2 the time one of our 6 family members rolled the ball the laying wood mess up and had to be reset. 40$ for 2 games and couldnt get them in cause of that! Did not even get a sorry.

This place is the BOMB. The staff is nice and friendly. The place is clean and a really great center for practicing your skills and competing on a serious level. Ive subbed in leagues there and also bowled tourneys there and had a wonderful time at each event. I cant wait to go back

Everything is dated back to 1995. Nothing here has changed probably because the game hasnt changed. Same old graphics. Same fun for the family. However everything is maintained very well. Everything works right unlike other bowling alleys that take a beating over the years.

I normally come here and Ive always had a great experience, but my last experience was horrible. I had a birthday party there and invited 2 other families. We had a total of 12 people bowling and 2 of my guests already paid. When it was time to check out they told us we had 16 people bowling since 2 people paid already we were charged for 14. We told them we only had 12 people bowling and then asked if we deleted any names which we did not. Then the manager zach refused to refund us for 4 people who we didnt have in our party.He made it seem as if we were lying when we had pictures of each game we played with the players on there. He didnt offer any apology and to be honest i felt like he did the bare minimum in helping us rectify the situation. I explained that when we got there one of the women who worked there said 2 of my guests already paid, so it would have been at a different time, that was when he thought to check.Im not sure why hes a manager, or why the equipment wasnt working but to charge us for imaginary people and then give us a tough time to get our money back, im not going back there. I wouldnt recommend you go there either, especially if zach is the manager.

Very good place to enjoy with your family. We have been here a lot of times and of course we go on Sunday they have a good price. Food is good. Costumer Service is good. There is a lot of entertainment in here. Looking forward the next visit!! En familia se pasa muy bien y entre amigos también. O dejes de traer tus hijos. Los domingos tienen especiales para todos. La comida cierra como as las 8:30pm o 9pm

Good staff and great fun bowling. The small arcade needs a lot of attention though. A bunch of the games were broken or not registering tokens when they were put in to play.

This is always a great spot to take my kids. The atmosphere is relaxed, staff are great, good is food for a bowling alley. The arcades are always a point of interest, even though this is a forst where there are a few games in which are Out of Order but no big deal. Would def recommend

We try to go here once per week. It is clean and fun. Theres a pro shop with a good coach available later in the afternoons. Also, they have a snack bar & game room. If the snack bar is closed, you can get snacks and drinks via the vending machine, as well as a vending machine with things like thumb hole tape in it, as well. Family owned and friendly. Price of one game is $4 wish they had yearly or monthly packages for frequent bowlers at a discount. Only discounts are for current league bowlers. However, they do have punch cards after 10 games, one will be free. The lanes are synthetic. And they have bumper bowling for kids. I like it better than the other bowling alley in Cary. Seems cleaner and more up to date.

The lanes are well taken care of. They have over 30 lanes with two off-set tables per pair of lanes so that there is plenty of seating. The food is good food and reasonably priced. They have a very family friendly atmosphere. They do not sell any alcohol on the premises. They have a pro-shop on site.

The people there were really nice. We filled in the card for the kids club and we got one game free. Now I can go one time for free any time of the year! The club was completely free and if youre under 18 years old you can sign up for it.

Great bowling alley but it is a Dry house so better for kids that for the adults if you like to have a drink while bowling. Equipment like the scoring system and TVs slightly aged but nothing bad. No major glitches while we were there. Snack bar was good. We had a salted pretzel that was made fresh and tasted amazing. Not sure about the other food but all you typical snack bar stuff. They have a decent sized arcade too which the kids love. Overall great alley.

Review №38

Terrible, some friends and I went with a Groupon thing and it said two games for two poeple, so each couple bought one and we figured we would bowl the same lane. The person that gave us our shoes had no problem with it. In the middle of all of our second game they just shut the lane down so we went to talk to them and they said we had to pay if we wanted to continue even though we all pays on Groupon! We gave our shoes back didnt pay anything else and left. Will NOT be going back!!!!

The food is way overpriced, but the games are a good deal and the vending machines have mountain dew livewire and Mountain dew Baja blast, very good drink selection that you can hardly find anywhere else.

Great bowling center. I like how the bumpers automatically pop up for the bowlers that need them. The alley is very family friendly and seems brighter and more colorful than most bowling alleys. The staff is friendly and theres a decent arcade and pro shop.

Review №51

A great place to have some fun with family. The bumpers malfunctioned on the lanes we were bowling on and instead of being up as they should have been, they would randomly go up and down in between bowls. Made for a lot of gutter balls instead. The food portions were pretty meager though expensive. If you expect to only bowl and even then, bowl without bumpers, this is a great place to bowl!

Buffaloes lanes has always been a family friendly place. They keep it clean, and always do their best to answer any questions you might have. Bowling is such a community sport, and people seem to really like to play each other.

Absolutely love bowling here. One of the best places to bowl with your family and friends and great if you are a huge fan of bowling. Even if you arent a fan of bowling, still a good price for the fun you are having. Would definitely recommend to come here to bowl just because of the amazing prices with the amount of fun you are offered.

Review №67

Its a bowling alley, my kid loves it. Only problem I have is finding a ball that fits my oversized hand. All the 15s are drilled way too tightly for my comfort. With that being my sole complaint, I can safely assume most people would be well served by the selection available. Go and enjoy as its still a lot of fun!

My husband bowls in a league and enjoys the comaraderie and excellent lanes. I went last night to watch him. I was impressed with the nice lighting (most bowling alleys are so dark), good condition of the lanes, furniture, carpet, and bathroom. I ordered a 3-topping pizza from the concessions stand and it was delicious. The server even provided plates! We will definitely think of Buffaloe Lanes when our whole family comes to town!

Not like other bowling alleys, but I guess it is kid friendly. I still cant under stand how 2 people bowl 3 games comes out to $25.00...If games are $4.50 it should of been $13.50.

The place is cheap and clean but definitely very kids oriented. Never been to a bowling alley that doesnt sell alcohol. Beer and bowling go together like PB and jelly lol Not sure Id go back with so many other places to bowl around RDU but obviously there is limited places in Cary to bowl.

This bowling alley was a lot of fun! Its not very visible from the main road but this place is very clean and the prices are fair. My girlfriend and I went on a date night since it was too cold to be outside and it was well worth the trip. It brought back memories of my childhood league days.

An excellent place to go bowling with family & friends! This place is clean, smoke free with friendly staff. What makes this place better than most in the area is the fact that theyre quite efficient in managing the lanes. Theyre able to proactively monitor lanes, queue up groups whore waiting to play and most importantly they listen & rectify any concerns or issues.
