P Ben

Mushroom Swiss burger will make your taste buds smile. No ketchup needed. Delightfully seasoned. Chill atmosphere, ample parking, bar manager a stallion. 2 hearted ale cold and on tap. Owner a man of faith. My 3 children and nephews and nieces all had their first bowling experiences here on Saturday afternoons. I've been here for more than one birthday party and it's family-friendly.

Cool little place. We stopped by for some bowling on a Friday @ 7 - there were lanes available, tons of balls, & cheap eats. $40 spent on 4 pairs of shoes & 2 games; there’s about 12 lanes to use. I really appreciate the size of this location, sometimes the bigger places can be too much. Have fun!

Chelsea Bowman

They have out door seating for drinking and eating during COVID. They do not have your lane rentals like there website says. Other than that the facility is clean and organized. Parking is in the back and entrance is by the main road

Stacy Hoek

Staff was very friendly, and the pizza was really good. I would also recommend the mac and cheese bites

Norm Lochten

Was an awesome place for sure five stars a d the drinks are cheap and strong

Grover Thornton

The lanes were fine, the approaches were clean and not tacky. The food is your typical bowling alley fare. Would definitely return.

Vincin Armstrong

Reasonably priced food, super affordable bowling. And the area overall is just cleaner than most bowling alleys I've been to. Would bowl again pretty often.

Rebecca Hall

Pretty cool place to bowl. I took 2 stars off because the owner should have put the bowling hours up online. I came at about 4:20pm and was told that bowling ends at 5pm for leagues. Then opens back up at 9pm. Had I known this inconvenient timing, I would have came a little sooner. Glad I was able to fit in a couple quick games, but definitely call them first before coming to bowl. Also a restaurant literally next door, pool table, and darts.

Amy Teske

Great bowling experience. Nice space, clean and fun atmosphere. Great prices on food and bowling.

Alice Keyt

Great place for a kids birthday party! The kids have fun and love the pizza and French fries!

I go every Monday and the staff is very nice, great atmosphere.

Kathleen Gomez

Friendly, clean and most of all fun lanes! Worth the drive for a good time.

Brook Snyder

Busy place with plenty of space and a nice atmosphere. House ball selection is not great but that's pretty standard. Staff is helpful. Our lane repeadedly had issues with the ball return. The kids liked watching the video clips between bowlers. Food available too. Family friendly.

Marc Williams

In your mouth burgers! Good customer service, amazing curly fries, salads are good too! Highly recommend

Sammie Voetberg

Staff was friendly. Food was good. Lanes were super dry. This is a good place to practice your release and your form.

Ronda Marvin

We have always loved this place. Kind people & reasonable prices! We had a great time!

Gunru Crew

Lanes were a bit oily but the bowling was decently priced. Staff was friendly and complemented me on my cat shirt.

Ethan Post

Fantastic bowling experience! Food is a little pricey, so you may want to bring your own snacks and drinks, but bowling is pretty expensive, meaning you'll be able to play quite a few rounds without throwing your wallet in the gutter. ;)

Kara Malone

Smaller alley with good prices. Customer service was good. Our family is very COVID-conscious and were the only ones wearing masks despite high local case rates. Overall a good experience but if super nervous about COVID probably best to wait to visit.

Amber Borrello

Great Place to bowl! Always enjoy my time at Northfield Lanes!

Dan Dannenberg

Great place to go for some bowling and have some fun with some friends. Get a few snacks and a pop! Have fun to get together with some friends for awhile at a nice bowling alley!!

Julie Angelena

Local fun! Good food. Big drinks. Play darts, pool, or bowl (open bowl weekdays Noon-3pm + 9:30pm-close, + weekends). Lots of leagues to join 😀 …

Racheal Anthony

Didn't even get to bowl, the website said it was a no league bowling night but all the lanes were taken by leagues. The atmosphere was nice and the bar was pretty good, but I went there to bowl.

kaiti Schutter

Quiet place when I went with a party of 5. Really cheap prices for lanes. Good beverages. The only thing I thought was weird was they have a kit Hen to serve food... But it's only open at 5pm-9pm

Levi G

Top notch place. Enjoyed it for the most part. Oil pattern was different than what I was used to. Seems very smooth but dry. Beer prices were good. Bathrooms clean. It was hot in alley. AC wasn't keeping the room enjoyable after the second game. Felt like about 75 in there. If it was cooler I would probably make the drive more often.

Kathryn Atwood

Have been enjoying these lanes for both open and league bowling for decades! Fair prices, great service and good lanes!

Joshua Gardner

Fun place to bowl with great prices!

Vivian Jackson

We enjoyed ourselves, it was very clean and well kept.The service was great and food was good.

DIfreighter watcher

Great Fun. Staff made the experience Enjoyable with their friendly attitude and exceptional service. Clean and well maintained.

Phil

Went in with my son who has Down Syndrome. We were going to bowl a game or two. We got all of our stuff, ball, shoes, lane, bumpers and he bowls one frame and then gets a little overwhelmed. He didn't want to play anymore. I took the shoes back up and told them we played two frames, and they wouldn't let me pay. Some might think that is obviously a situation where you would not charge someone, but it really was a nice gesture that brightened my trip. I appreciated it. I will come back another time and make sure I play for a while.

Emily Francis

Northfield Lanes accommodated over 40 special education high school students yesterday morning. The students had a great time and the employees who helped us were amazing! The employees were kind, patient, and flexible. Thank you so much Northfield Lanes! We had a wonderful experience.

Sophia Bulkowski

Great place! Lovely people and small which is noce. But they don’t have t-pain songs on the jutebox. So if you’re looking to get down to “Buy U a Drink” you should look else where.

Anthony Wolfram

I bowled on league here for many years, but life circumstances caused me to leave the league. After a long hiatus I'm back. I'm very pleasantly surprised by the improvements that Northfield Lanes has done. And the staff are as friendly as they always have been.

Owen Martin

I enjoyed that they had other things to do once you get tired of bowling, like pool. The cheese on the pizza smells very artificial-like. There were a lot of people vaping when I was here.

Robyn

Wow. In the usual course of events you are forced to trade a good bowling experience for mediocre food and the knowledge that the bathrooms may give you Tetanus-- but not here. You get great bowling, sure, but the bathrooms are so shiny and clean that it's like peeing in the Taj Mahal. I mean, I've never seen tile work this meticulous. In addition, the menu includes an item called the "Mixed Bag," which includes perfectly deep-fried-everything. With ranch! It's basically anything you've ever wanted but were too fat to comfortably ask for in front of other people. Top it off with $1/game bowling and you have a night you will never forget. NEVER.

Swagaar

Would have given a five-star but our lands were malfunctioning the entire night knock down for pins you get a strike, knock down 3 then 2 you get a spare, get a strike you get eight pins, if it wasn't for that they gave us a discount it would have been a three-star and if it wasn't for the beer and So Co it would have been a two-star other than that was a good place fun and family oriented maybe someday I'll go back and I'll write a better review.

Amberlyn Harjes

Aside from being a good clean atmosphere for families to enjoy, they make great drinks and the re is one guy that is super sweet every time we go, my son has a rough time bowling this guy encouraged him and gave him a few pointers very sweet

DB

Bar food, small alley, nothing special. Decent location if you live close by, although I would not drive out of my way to get here. Can't expect to much from a bowling alley.

BerryD Treasure

Northfield lanes has always been on of my favorite places to bowl for the last 30 years. It's still good as of today. Would recommend. Good food good prices friendly and helpful staff.

Meredith

This is a great bowling alley. Very clean and the people are very nice. The alley itself is very open and kid friendly. Even with bowlers on either side of you it doesnt feel cramped.

Christopher Vis

Great place for bowling and beers. Actually they have really good food as well. Especially if you've had a few drinks.

David Vermullen

What a gem! A few great beers on tap, for great prices. Burgers are cheap and tasty, and so are the pizzas. Love this neighborhood bar!

Daniel Maclinbird

Well kept lanes management and staff exceptional. Burgers are great here

Great bar in the back, good prices.

Elisabeth Gross

Bummed that their website and automated phone system clearly stated opened hours but that doesn't mean open bowling. Should specify this on site especially if when I call I am unable to speak to a human as phone system just repeats over and over.

Johnny Lott

The bowling is is cheap late night, but don't drink the draft beer! It gives the worst hangover (might need to clean the lines...)
