Delaware Lanes INC

I highly recommend this bowling alley it's by far the best in Delaware, OH. I have been visiting this family run business since I was a child and have bowled in many of the leagues making me a regular customer. Delaware Lanes is locally known for it's outstanding customer service which has kept them in business for over 50 years! Overall, it is always a great experience. I recommend the snack bar to any foodies out there, the homemade milkshakes are the best! more

Had my sons B-Day party there on 09/02/12. The staff was fabulous and very helpful. The kids had a great time bowling and enjoyed the party room for presents and cake afterwards. Enjoyed pizza and drinks while bowling. This was actually the second birthday my son has had at Delaware Lanes, he loves it. They even gave him a bowling pin to have the other kids sign! more

A fun place to hang out and bowl. Clean atmosphere, nice lanes, great food and a good cocktail. All this with friendly staff, attentive service and fair prices. Any time I'm in Delaware I'll stop back for some food, drinks and bowl a few games. If you feel like bowling this is the place. more

Attended a couple of bowling parties up at the lanes and what a great time. The staff was excellent, the food was delicious and everyone had a fantastic time. I highly recommend having your next party or event at Delaware Lanes - even if you're coming up from CBus, it's totally worth it for the local flavor. Highly recommend! more

Delaware Lanes is known to locals for its horrible customer service. I ignored this advice and planned a bowling/pizza party. Per the managers request I called 30 minutes prior to the party time to let them know we were on the way. The man that answered said no one was working the kitchen since leagues got canceled. I asked him when someone would be in. He rudely responded that he didn't know! I asked him if he was aware we had a food order in already and guests were expecting to eat on arrival. He said ""look I don't work the kitchen and i don't have any food order for you"" UNBELIEVABLE!!! In a panic I called COLONY LANES and asked them if the had someone in the kitchen and if they could take our party last minute. Thankfully they said yes! So I called Delaware Lanes as a courtesy and told them we were moving our party to a location that could actually meet our needs. *HERE'S WHERE IT GETS REALLY ""GOOD'! The man gave me an attitude and said he just started making our pizzas! I was surprised to hear this since he just said he couldn't cook and didn't know when a cook would be in. A few minutes later the manager calls and rips my head off saying that we screwed her and cost her money on pizzas! I tried to explain to her about the rude man that answered the phone and seemed to have no idea about our party or if they could even accommodate it (as promised) The manager continued to yell at me so I hung up. Then she called COLONY LANES and cursed them out for stealing her business!!! I was so upset. I was blown away at the horrible customer service. On a lighter note though COLONY LANES staff was incredibly friendly and provided us a great Birthday Party experience on VERY late notice. In the end we had fun but it was NOT at Delaware Lanes. more

We bought a package through giviton, and when we first got there, the place was way crowded (leagues, I guess). Because we couldn't be accommodated on our first visit, an employee swooped in and offered us two coupons for a free game, and told us the best time to come back. We went back the same evening, and as promised, we practically had the whole place to ourselves. The employees were friendly, as well as the few other bowlers there. I hate to give up my secret, but if you're looking for a great place to bowl, go here. You won't be sorry you did. more

Too much fun!! Everyone is so nice there. Very clean and family oriented. Great food and cocktail lounge too. Very reasonable prices. Wehad a birthday party there and the kids loved it. We have been back at night with adults and and a great time bowling and having pizza, burgers and beer. Try it out!!! Pros: friendly staff more
