The new renovations at the bowling alley look great. Same prior structure and layout but with a more modern design. Looks like there will also be a back bar. Looking good!

At first I was very happy to see that our bowling alley in Chico had reopened and paperwork going to be able to resume their Sport and enjoyment. But soon my Zeal for the enjoyment that would be had by Me was gone. Bowling with my church group I found it very difficult for Bowl considering they had no lights on over the lanes so you could not see the arrows or dots and not be able to bowl like a real bowler does. Ive been a bowler for 50 years and its always fun to go to a midnight bowling experience but when you go bowling for practice and fun you still want to achieve the best you can and thats by being able to use the marks on the lanes to adjust your bowling. Second they have large screens over head of the pins I mean very large they cover three lanes each. Where theyre showing sporting events and movies so while youre bowling you have the big distraction in front of you. So bowling isnt Fun by itself anymore you have to have a drive-in theater in front of the lanes supposedly to enjoy what youre doing. I was thinking about joining the league there because they do actually keep the lights on the lanes for the Leagues but not for your Joe Schmo bowler but how does a serious bowler practice bowling without the mark to be able to adjust his skill level. And lets not forget that it cost $6 a game now a sign of the times. I will not be going back to Bolero.

Had a great night! Customer service was amazing ! Especially the operation manager Matt ! He was very attentive and made sure we had a great night !

It was great, clean and I will bring my grandchildren back my family had a great time! Yours will too

Not only a bowling alley. Theres a bar for alcoholic beverages and a pool table in the bar area. There is also a decent arcade for those people that dont really enjoy bowling or drinking.

Cool atmosphere. Food and drinks VERY EXPENSIVE

Great employees!! But it cost me 160 bucks for my family to bowl 4 games........ Ill just drive to Oroville from now on unfortunately. It made fathers day horrible

Friendly staff. Good weekly deals. I love the new look..

Great place, enjoyed my time there.

The remodel is beautiful. Friendly bartending staff and fun times. So glad they are open again!

Expensive but totally renovated right before the pandemic. Clean and friendly place.

We had fun. We bowled 2 games, played a few games of pool, ate a pizza and a appetizer sampler platter and drank a pitcher of beer. The food was really good. The pool table was pretty beat up but level and fully functional. No complaints. That costs 77 dollars plus tip.

This is a super fun place for bowling and they have an arcade! Its great just hanging out here with friends or if you wanna kick back for a couple hours. Theres also air hockey and pool :) They have different specials for certain night for bowling and over the summer there are passes you can buy if you like to visit a lot.

The alley is in the best condition I can remember. They could really use a changing table in the rest room. I went with my family, including our 1 year old. Didnt have anywhere to change him. The staff was super helpful and let me use their break room, but thats not ideal for the staff or me. Bowling is a family sport, you would think they would be more family friendly.

Horrible service, paid $20 for 3 chicken tenders and 4 mozzarella sticks. To be helped when I first arrived took 15 mins with only 2 people in line. Then was ignored and the manager called up people who walked over in line after I did.

Came here with work friends and had a great time! The place is what you expect, no more, no less. I learned a new skill that seemed to improve my rolls. Thanks Dom!

Love getting back into bowling and AMF Orchard Lanes in Chico Ca. Is the best place to go. The people that work there are so friendly and helpful There summer package is great you should go and check it out

A fun place to go bowling, have a few drinks and let the kids play the video games. Also good place to socialize among friends and Bowl In tournament leagues

I grew up there and the ppl have always been great. Its currently being remodeled and I cant wait to see what comes next.

Adequate facility. Food is crap. Paid too much money for cold nachos and not friendly service.

Good remodel a complete change from the dark and dreary that it was, a shame that they had to close it again because of the virus

The staff are friendly and the new remodeling looks great!

Friendly staff, fun environment, but the hand dryers didnt work, the lane balls were so sticky they might as well had glue on them and the machine on the lane we were on kept breaking, but once they moved us to a new lane it got better, over all not a bad place

Do not book a party with AMF Orchard Lanes. We called to reserve a party for my two little boys on the 5th and they said that construction would be done by then. Needless to say, it was not and we had to call all the families and reschedule for when the bowling lanes said they would guarantee to be open. So, we did just that. We rescheduled for the 19 of October and did all the work that comes from planning a party all over again. Then, a few days before the party they once again canceled (for the 2nd time) after they said it would be done by then. I am so disappointed in the way that they treated us and how they do business. I do not recommend anyone booking a party at this establishment.

We came in tonight with a large group and had a great time. Ian the manager went out of his way and took great care of us! We will definitely be back in soon for our next team event!Thanks so much,-The Rare Air Team

Had a great time, bartender was awesome. Atmosphere was good too. Definitely will be back!

The bowling was super fun. The manager was VERY attentive and checked on us several times. Was a lot of fun!

Me, my sister, and my Grampa go bowling pretty often and we have taken a liking in the place. It is a wonderful way to get exercise and to take friends. The food is a bit expensive but great...

Complete ripoff!! $5.99 per person per game... total $73.$18.29 for an 8 slice pizza.4.36 for large soda. Total $17Total cost was over $100couldve gotten one the same size maybe a little bigger at little caesars... next time Ill say screw it and drive to red bluff to go to lariat bowl. Game prices are better and so is food/ Food prices

The wait was a little long, however this was about 7pm or so on a Saturday so league was still finishing up and there was a pretty decent crowd already. Food and drinks were good but the food can take a while. Bowling wise, it was a lot of fun we had 6 people split onto two lanes. Played a couple of games fairly quickly. Didnt have to deal with any delays due to computer or mechanical issues except for the ceiling fan that didnt work. Overall I had a pretty good time as did my group.

Ive been there twice and each time our alley was defective. Either by not returning the ball, setting the pins at the wrong time, or faulty score keeping. Both times they also seemed understaffed, so it would take some time to get technical help or just to order food. Non of which is the employees fault. They were polite and helpful. Place is kept well and is clean. Also they have some fun arcade stuff

They have good deals on odd nights, they have solid drinks on regular nights, theyve got a full arcade, and they have a quality bowling alley. I havent had a bad night here yet. Some of the staff could be more hospitable, but I cant pretend like I dont understand what its like to deal with a bunch of entitled regulars, and take it out on people who arent

Went for a birthday party and had a great time. The staff was quite attentive. The facilities were very clean and well put together.

For the amount of money we paid and the small group we had, it was very expressive. I do wish the arcade was a bit wallet friendly.

We visited tonight for some team building. Everyone had a great time. Ian took care of us and provided great service! We will be back!Thanks,Ryan and The Rare Air Team

Love to bowl at this bowling alley. Always a fun place to be with family and friends

Friendly staff and clean throughout. Also have some fun games in the arcade. I would definitely go again.

I would give this place negative stars if I could. I hope people read this review because one of their staff members stole my credit card information. Friends and I went to go bowling and when we arrived the girl at the front counter said she needed my card to keep on file to pay for the games we were going to play. She took my credit card and swiped it and then mumbled something about the system being slow and then inserted the chip in. When leaving I went up to the counter to close my card out and a different girl said she needed my card again to charge it. I was charged, signed the receipt and left. Today(a couple days after bowling) I checked my account and there was a bunch of charges I didn’t make. However, the first charge was a small charge to the bowling alley the day after I was there. This appeared to be a tester to see if my card would work. They then charged a bunch of items to my credit card. I would not normally point fingers so quick, but the evidence is overwhelming. They swiped my card 3 times and then used my card at the bowling alley the day after. I called and spoke to the manager who showed no sympathy and was appalled when I said I would be filing a police report. Hopefully this review will prevent this headache from happening to anyone else.

Everyone at orchard makes sure you have a great time! My work had a team building event, and all employees were great!

It was awesome and super funThe staff was wonderful and helpful definitely come back

Great retro feel to this place, but everything us in great condition. Video games, bar area, food, and lots of lanes! Great family place!

I have bowled here a few times and the alley is nicely kept. The balls dont have bumps or weird indents on them. The lanes are not damaged and dont affect the ball movement in a bad way. If you want a consistent bowling alley this is the place.In terms of food, the selection is nice. But I had a regular cheeseburger the last time I was there and it wasnt very good. The bread was stale, and you couldnt enjoy it after that. I have had wings before and those were good. I would suggest eating before or after you bowl simply because the prices dont match the quality of the food.

Its a bowling alley and if youre there purely for the social aspect then its not too bad. However if you have any interest in a legitimate bowling game then you may be out of luck, in my experience it would give players free spares all the time even when half the pins were still up. Also there are a few lanes that dont have any seating for two groups to sit at. All around I had a pretty bad time and I dont plan to come back any time soon.

This was always a fun place to go, when I was a kid, hanging out with friends as a teenager, date night with my wife, and bringing my daughter.They have done a great job updating over the years, and its still just as fun.

I love to bowl.. its very sad it is so expensive. We had 6 people on one lane paying over $5 each game. That is over $30 for one game... Im sorry but that is very expensive.Alao the bar was serving extremely slow.. took forever to get drinks.

Pat Young, proprietor of the pro shop, was exceptionally helpful in bowling techniques and fundamental. His advice will ensure we will visit the lanes soon.

Ive bowled at many bowling alleys and this one is average at best. I would note that the food in the snack bar and everything else is much more expensive than other bowling alleys. Employees can also be pushy on trying to get you to signup for their latest gimmick. The bar looks clean and so did most of the alley. Often go out of my way to bowl elsewhere if possible.

A good place to go with friends. The bar seemed to have quite a few options. You can get a plate of bacon and cheese fries for like 7 bucks that is big enough for your entire group of friends. Only issue was that our ball kept getting stuck, and sometimes took 2 or 3 times of paging the employees for it to get fixed.

The people here are awesome! Come here for a Special Olympics event. 99 South they are good to everyone!

Fun place to go to hangout and blow of some steam and they are very friendly and polite and nice arcade for kids

We had my sons birthday party here. It was a great time. The manager took care of us personally. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

Has Not Been Open For The Last Few Months They Dont Even Really Post It

Very small inside, not allot of room to move around. And kinda expensive on the price per game, much better value if you go to the time to bowl alley in oroville, cheaper and there is allot more room to bowl

I always have a good time here its always fun to bring the family or come on a double date.

Fun for bowling. Great team play. Some breakdowns with equipment.

They dont listen to you well. I asked where the prices were and they would not help me. I found it myself and said u are charging me to much and they said no were not and I said youre not freaking listening and they said thats cuzzing and u shouldnt say that in front of your kid and you have to leave and tried to kick out my friends just for being with me. So I said no, talk to manager and she is the most sweetest person in the world, I love her. She corrected my point of sale and made me, my kid and my friends the best time ever. Food is great. Bar service is excellent as well. Just the front counter is horrible. Been coming here for 30 years and never been treated that way. John is also the coolest person ever.

Had lots of fun bowling. Didnt like the change to the credit system for the arcade.

Some lanes do not keep accurate score, but I play for fun, so its not too big of a drawback. There is food and drink, but its a pretty limited menu. Its not restaurant quality, but fits the expectations of a bowling alley.I wish they had more specials and theres usually leagues or tournaments going on. This limits time for non-league bowlers. Extreme bowling is fun, though.

Nice bowling alley, ok food, not enough staff sometimes

Love this bowling alley. Also really enjoy the games.

Its dark its dirty but the bowlings good and video games are all rights.

Great fun for all ages. They have bumpers down the gutter for beginners and metal guides for the young ones. They have lighter balls just for the little ones. My 3 year old grandaughter and her 2 year old aunt had a great time using the guides. They also have a game area full of flashy lights. Thus is a great date place, familt outing , friendly gathering or even just to hone your skills.

Fun place to go, great and helpful staff

We took our grand son, Hyden, there and he loved it. We will be going back to play in the game room with him

Great place! Bar looked a bit warn, but overall the atomosphere was great. We played two games and had a blast. Small issue with our balls getting stuck and not returning though. We wished they had more seating around the lanes. 3 chairs per lane? Not very great for larger groups (we had 6 a lane). Miss the bench seating that used to be along the back wall of the lanes. Still, would definitely come back in a smaller group!

Very fun place, lots of lanes( more than 6), reasonable prices, big arcade for kids, and pool table ( you have to pay by the hour & cant use quarters only pay cashier).

Its a older bowling alley. They do a good job with what they have. Just dont expect greatness.

Great atmosphere. Fun music, good service. Bar and snack bar have a good selection of treats. Token arcade center great for alternative entertainment. Also accepts groupons!

Almost extinct but exactly what the family needs

The staff was simply amazing!! Very fast and friendly service!! Great place to have a birthday party!!

Friendly staff are friendly, helpful, and keep the place tidy. Their new arcade has the best games in town!

Fun and clean enough environment. Can get pricey with a group of people playing together

Food and bowling, good family fun!

Best bowling alley in town!

The staff are friendly. The facilities are clean. The only issue I had was that it seemed like when many people approach the front desk at one time they don’t do a great job prioritizing who to take care of first. I did have to wait quite a while to get my tab closed out even after being noticed.

Two dollar Tuesday is cool. Take the kids bowling at a great cost. Great service and family friendly workers

Great place to bowl.the staff is awesome.

Awesome family time. Limited food menu do to fryers being broke, major bummer. Friendly service.

Fun plaxe with a pretty cool arcade...newschool arcade.

The arcade area is nice and updated.

Good experience. Fun times. The staff are super polite and always willing to help. They even said bye to us when we left!!

Bowling always good here. Concessions very overpriced.

Loved it here will miss it

AMBER was AWESOME!!! She was one of the best workers. Very polite very helpful I will definitely come back Bc of her!!

Nice and clean. Large bowling alley. Nice place to have birthday parties for children and adults

Its a good bowling alley with an arcade, food and bar. So good fun for everyone.

Great place to have some fun. Only problem is that they are extremely overpriced. When I say extremely overpriced I mean they are extremely overpriced for every single thing there from the food to the games to the renting of bowling shoes to the cost of bowling per game

60 dollars for 4 people to bowl. 18 dollars for a large pepperoni pizza. Unless you are prepared to spend a 100 dollars, I would recommend refraining from this adventure.

This is a pretty good bowling alley it wasnt too crowded nor was it empty. The bartender in the bar area new how to make all the popular drinks. The only thing I didnt like was the fact that they no longer have a DDR machine in the arcade....oh well cant win them all

Good time on Tuesdays when its cheap, I dont go on other days. Sometimes it takes forever to get food or drinks, but not bad.

Late afternoon bowling was a good way to spend some time with friends !

Always love bowling. Great environment, awesome arcade area and amazing bar. Margaritas on point.

My brand new ball got stuck in the ball return and just kept spinning. There was an employee near by and he just stood there like deer in headlights!! After they fixed the problem, guess what happened? Yep, it got stuck again. Glad I switched out my ball!!

Love this place but the booze is light handed and everything is crazy expensive.

Good place, newly renovated

Bowling has gotten really expensive. The alley is great, shoes are often very worn. Lots of ball choices and weights are easy to see. For some reason, they tend to clump bowlers next to each other even when there are a lot of available lanes. Thats unpleasant. Really friendly staff though.

Bar was great! lanes, less than satisfactory. Very inaccurate pin count!!!!!!

Everyone was very helpful....we will go back again! Fun time!! :)

Lots of fun but they seemed a bit scattered, I ordered a pitcher of beer and had to ask 4 separate people for my cups. Seemed like they just said ok to shut me up. Crazy weird vibe goin on.

All in all its ok but it certainly isnt the nicest bowling alley. The lanes seemed very dry to many of our bowlers. The food is very poor, but at least the beer is good :)
