This place is cool. We went there because our Daughter, Son and Son in law are in a bowling league there. The food was great and the service was good especially Eric.

Very kid friendly, helpful staff, and they were taking good precautions for safety during Covid-19 restrictions. They have plenty of lanes for bowling in addition they have an adult bowling section and bar.

Love to go here I bowl here often and it is a very good place to go and have fun with the family it is also a good place to practice if you bowl competitively. And cjs bar and grill has some really good options for any meal of the day. And If you go here order the breakfast tacos they are the best ive had. And the arcade is fun for anyone before and after.

Dot Sandwich was perfectly made. Taste and presentation was above most as well as the homemade french fries. Service was friendly and helpful. Big screens to view your favorite team.I love bowling so next visit I will try out the lanes. Pleasant atmosphere, clean, games for the whole family. I give this business a 4.5.

This place is awesome! My husband and I had a blast. We played the arcade for about 45 minutes while waiting for a lane to open up. Waiter was great. Food was delicious! Beers were cold. We will be back!

Good bowling lanes, service is so-so and the drinks are absolutely pathetic. If you like bowling with a buzz then get a pre-flight and head to Mels. Otherwise, lanes are maintained well and they have plenty of bowling balls and shops to accommodate. Ill be back again to hone the skill!

Its a great place! My niece and nephew love going there! I do too, because after they are done bowling we go to the game room and play the games. My Nephew is Autistic so they normally put us on the other side where it isnt so noisy for him. I didnt give it 5 stars because food, snacks, and at least drinks could be a little cheaper but hey everyone has to make their money somehow, right? Other than that, its a nice laid back place to go!

We celebrated our little guy’s birthday their this year and it was great! The price was not only affordable, but loaded with fun. I was not a fan of their pizza, but the kids ate every bit! The staff were so kind and helpful. It’s a fun place whether you’re hosting a birthday party or just having some fun with family/friends.

Delicious food for 12+ years now, bowling leagues galore, kid friendly, HUGE ARCADE. Also, nothing is better than Mels buffalo tenders and a cold beer!!I will always be a patron of this business.

The kids had a wonderful time but the food set me back. $100 for an adult and 3 kids and they played the first 2 games for free. Other than that, the staff was cool and the people there were real friendly. Watch out for those professional kid bowlers. Making everyone look bad. Lol.

If your looking for a great place to spend time with family and or friends, look no further than Mels Lone Star Lanes. Mels has a very easy going atmosphere, including bowling, games, lounge, and great food. They also have a great venue for company meetings, birthdays, and other types of celebrations or gatherings. I highly recommend Mels Lone Star Lanes for that special get away for some special fun.

Bowling can be pricey but if you pay attention to their deals you can definitely save money while having fun. Everything seems to be very well maintained, the ambiance is perfect, and the staff has excellent customer service skills. I was impressed! The shoes are in good condition, too.

Been here a few times for fun and always had a good time. BUT recently had my sons birthday party here. It was great. Very affordable, arcade and bowling, different food options to order for the party. Our host Luis was awesome with helping out and keeping up with people’s requests. If you’ve got a summer baby and looking for affordable, fun, air conditioned party places - I would highly recommend.

1st time here. Sat at the bar. They have a decent draft beer selection. Service is very good. Ordered wings. They came out fast and they were some of the best wings we’ve ever had.

The service was really nice along with patience and smiles. I was in charge of the kids and their friends. This was a good way to consume two hours. I thought the food prices were high; however, Im used to Costcos food court. After thinking about it the prices are fare...Im just not willing to spend $25 on a large pizza.

We came first thing in the morning. It must have been cleaning day because employees were scrubbing nooks and crannies with what looked to be a fine tooth comb. With a coupon I still spent more money than I hoped to. What I like most about this place is that they are really open to the public. They are involved with the community and many years my kids have come home from school with coupons to come and bowl. The bathrooms were clean. The halls were decorated for the holidays which was nice. I would suggest that the arcade area be cleaned as it is in need of attention.

I absolutely love going bowling here. It has been fun every time. They also give back to their community all the time, so Im all about supporting them. This is a great place for family fun or a date night. They even have an area for adults away from the lanes where lots of children may be bowling if you want more of an adult atmosphere.

Mels is a busy place so call ahead or use the app to set a reservation. Good eats, good beer and great bowling. The lanes are very well kept. Ball selection is great except for my XL fingers as I could only find one ball that fit. Very cool that the scoring is emailed to you (if you sign up) and you can track your stats as well as get special offers. We absolutely will be back!

Mels hosted our company Christmas meeting and Kimberley and her team were on top of it! Everything was PERFECT! Also, they were the most competitive price and their food was amazing! Got lots of compliments from our Managers. Kuddos to Kimberley and her team!

Review №46

Bowled in the CJs side. It was nice with the couches, and I liked that it emailed our scores. But, we had one frame left and didn’t get an extra 2 minutes at the end to finish which is very annoying. Also, all the balls of a given weight had the same size finger holes. My mom wasn’t able to find one that worked for her, and I wasn’t either. And it was expensive. And didn’t show ball speed on the monitor. Probably would go somewhere else in the future.

League play is fun, but the lanes have issues everytime with no fail, and makes for some late nights waiting on them to fix them. The wait staff is hit or miss. Some are great and check on their lanes/tables often and add to the experience, but some have no clue how to work their lanes and you have to go hunt them down if you want any service.

Went to mels for a 65th birthday party, we had 5 lanes in the semi private area which was nice. We had a server who took good care of us. The place was clean, nice, well maintained. We had drinks and food which were all really good. After our time we just chilled without pressure to leave. Was really nice overall and I will return. Thanks

Excellent speedy service, got a lane day with a reservation, and almost didnt need one with the complete absence of a wait. Best time to go is on a weekday around 3~4. Lots of fun for little money, best place to go in the area and plenty of places for good food in the area. Would highly recommend to anyone in person.

Nice shot on the lanes. Had 2 different lanes and both kept breaking down. Except 10.50 all you can bowl. Could have bowled 8 games instead of 5. Got my monies worth.

I was expecting a rundown dirty bowling alley and was pleasantly surprised. Everything was very clean and modern. They have great Summer deals, and we took advantage of the free kids bowling. We still had to pay shoe rental and my pickiest eater was very unhappy with the lack of sauce on the pizza, but it was a great way to get out of the heat!

Mels is overall a really solid bowling alley. Their lanes are in great condition and their in house balls are among the better ones that Ive used. The service is quick and the people that work there are nice, shout out to Seth for the stellar service!

Review №82

The food was ok and the service was really good. The place has everything that a good bowling alley would have. It also has a arcade place but we did not try that out. We booked 3 lanes for a party of 15 and enjoyed bowling for about 2 hrs. I think everything was reasonably priced. They had some specials but we did not go in time to take advantage of it.

This bowling alley brings family fun and competitiveness to the fullest. We have been here before and had an awesome time. Played video games after bowling.This time around it was our oldest birthday. We played for two hours and I got tired halfway through the second round. I am feeling my age I guess whether I want to or not.The food was really great and the service was super too. We had a great waitress who kept the beers coming. I recommend the Cowboy burger because it was delicious and unique for a burger. You cant go wrong with it trust me. You get a lot of fries with the combo meal too.Sine we had a birthday there they helped us out because we forgot the lighter to light the candles. No worries they had that there. Plates and real folks to use I might add.Me being an IT guy the alleys were 21st century with touch screens at the table your alley was on. You modify the graphics, request service for food, buy another round for beer, etc. It was really cool to see that kind of technology for a bowling alley.I would recommend for large parties to see if you can use the bar side of the bowling alley. If not party of six or bigger get two lanes.For my active duty military and veterans guess what? They honor us here. Thats right military discount on the shoes!! I love it when a establishment honors those who serve and served this great nation!

I enjoy the family friendly environment... no matter what your family looks like or how well you bowl. Typical food, hard to stay healthy but it is decent and affordable. Good selection of beer and drinks. A good place to visit for fun or stop over in CJs to watch a game.

This is a great place for family fun. Its nice, clean and run efficiently. We had a couple of issues with our lane and the staff was on it right away. The food service was slow, but the food was really good. The could probably have a few more bowling balls with bigger holes for bigger fingers. Some were a little too tight.

Maybe just unlucky, but we had to hit the service button 8-9 times for lane turning off and twice for pin stuck in ball return. Giving us 10min extra, we still could not finish two games in an hour with 3 ppl.

Very fun. Huge bowling alley but they do charge quite a bit. $55 for 4 people to bowl. They serve food and drinks and have a big arcade section too. We had fun but I feel it is too high to try to do every weekend or maybe even monthly for some families.
