AMF McRay Plaza Lanes

The worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. Website said dollar games on Mondays apparently that’s not the case… Manager in plaid didn’t seem to care about what the website advertised, you would think the would honor what their website said. Instead it was 12 bucks a person, not that it’s a a lot of money it’s the principle. Very disappointed with my Monday night bowling experience. I will never recommend this establishment to anyone nor will I ever come here again.

Fun place, lanes and lobby clean. Restroom by lounge look like haven’t been cleaned in months.

I always like come here play bowling ball with my parents, and we always have a great time!

the best bowling alley in chandler. friendly staff and good prices. if your look for something fun to do go join a bowling league.

Located here is Tutor Time, AMF Bowling, Checkers Auto Parts, Circle K Convenience Store & Gas Station, No Limits Scuba, Golden Bird Antiques, Filiberto’s and Domino’s Pizza.

I wish I knew everyone’s name that helped us but by only know that Chris was our main contact. These guys were so good to my family and my children. We had a birthday party for my daughters 10^th and having done the bowling routine before knew what to expect or ar least so we thought, every one that helped us was courteous and more than helpful to make things easy. I am a fan of praise where it is earned and I hope this review is helpful in recognition where it is deserved .
Thanks guy’s for a great party.

Where do I start? Well first of all the website says 2 dollar PBR’s. That’s a no go. 2 dollar bowling, cool, whatever. Not that I can’t afford my beers it’s cool I don’t mind paying. But obviously you’re not too concerned about your online presence. Then as we’re sitting the «manager» comes over and tells us that she’s closing early. Must be nice to be able to leave work when you feel like it. Maybe make a disclaimer on your site. Oh wait… Maybe you’re closing early because there’s only 3 lanes playing? Maybe you’re closing early because you scare people away by saying your closing? Probably the latter. Well anyways thanks for scaring us away! We won’t be back.

This was a good bowling alley. Very clean and the service was friendly. We went on a Friday night and they had black lighting which is always fun. Shoes were decent and nice selection of bowling balls. Music videos from the early 2000s made the experience really fun! Scoreboards are not user friendly but that could be because we aren’t big bowlers. Placement of TVs right over lanes was a bit distracting while bowling.

Groupon brought a few of my friends here and I on a Thursday night for 2-​hours of bowling. The facility is nice with plenty of room at each lane, a kitchen, bar area, games, the works. All the lanes were in good repair and easy to use, and we had a great time.
I knock the score down a star for customer service. It wasn’t appalling, but nobody was going out of their way for us either. We didn’t get a very warm welcome when we arrived, due to a league coming in shortly… something that was not disclosed to us previously when we called to see if we needed to make a reservation and they said it was first come, first served. When we walked in to a nearly empty building, you can imagine our surprise to encounter such hesitation to let us use a lane. Although I didn’t partake in the bar services, my friends complained of a bartender with a short attitude and the slowest drink making skills ever.
The food was good, or at least on par to what you’d expect in a bowling ally or sports bar kind of kitchen. Overall, we had a great time and it made for a fun girl’s-night-out. Hopefully I can take my husband some time soon and see if his bowling skills hold up to my hit or miss, «lucky strike» style of bowling!

Every time we have been to this bowling ally they have been nothing but hospitable and the customer service is excellent! The GM, Chris, is very classy and always very accommodating. He has created a great culture at this establishment. We will definitely be back with friends!

I have been to this bowling alley a couple of times in the past year and it has been great both times. Today we arrived around 4pm and they were having a deal for unlimited pizza and bowling all day. The customer service was great from start to finish. We were all brought indivdual slices of pizza and whenever we wanted another slice it was always hot and fresh, the pizza here is actually really good.
The bowling alley itself is really clean and the lanes are very well maintained. Whoever is managing this bowling alley, they are doing a great job! They also had Blue Moon on tap which was also a plus. The music could have been a touch louder which I have never said about a bowling alley but they were playing great music and it would have been nice to hear it. Overall great experience! I will be back for more fun times!

This is a nice bowling place for families, people aren’t too rowdy and loud. No wait. BUT they have the SLOWEST bartender and kitchen. I literally stood and watched for 10 minutes while she made one drink and a draft beer. It was like she was on slow mode. I stood at the food counter for 5 minutes before I was helped and then she told me to wait because someone else’s order took 40 minutes and she needed to finish it. Meanwhile my bowling minutes are waiting away. And this was on a Saturday night.

Great value for the money! Cheaper than Main Event. $ 25 for 2 hours of bowling vs $ 42 an hour at the Main Event.
Went here with my daughter on a Friday night and had a blast. Only issue I had was lane 10 was super oily! I had to ask for a towel and keep wiping my ball off. Super friendly staff and overall good experience.
We will be back!

In the world of bowling alleys, this one is great. We went as part of a large birthday party on a Saturday night. Given that half the group was intoxicated, the staff was incredibly patient with dumb people having fun bowling. It’s a good price for the Extreme bowling. But what impressed me the most is that the place is sparkling clean.

I don’t bowl, but I make a fierce cheerleader. So when CJ invited me to a Democratic fundraiser for another district, I jumped on it. Even though, as CJ pointed out, I’m not a registered Democrat. Whatever. The lanes seemed nice, but more importantly they have good, cold beer. Their food leaves a bit to be desired, especially when the beer goes down so smoothly.
On a side note, we had some fantastic gay drama towards the end of the night. It almost wrecked my buzz.

We had come here a handful of times since moving in down the street. I signed up for the eclub they have online and got a coupon for a special price on bowling but it was only for specific times and only during Mon — Fri. So we came in on a Friday, the last day of the coupon, and only had an hour left to bowl. For us that was perfect. Well when I gave the coupon to the girl at the desk she told me they couldn’t do that tonight because they were using 8 lanes for leaguers. Ummm, ok, what about your other 20-​some lanes available? We were really upset that they wouldn’t honor their own coupon due to a couple leagues coming in! Your leagues are not the only place you receive revenue. Your non league bowlers should be given the same courtesy and respect. Obviously here we’re not. She was extremely rude and the manager was standing right there and didn’t say anything so obviously he didn’t care. So I emailed AMF, which I’m pretty sure it didn’t go to any corporate office, it was directed back to the people who run this location. The response I got was this, «So what do you want?» Seriously!!! Never mind then! I never wrote back and we”ll never be going back. Brunswick will be getting our dollars from now on.

Always a great time here!
The staff is friendly and helpful. The place is always clean.
The Summer bowling program for kids is great!

I love McRay Lanes! We’ve been bowling here at least once a week for almost 2 years now and I have never had a bad experience. Chris, the GM is always happy to see us and welcomes us with a smile! Managers Jenni and Sue are super helpful and have gotten to know us very well. Helen and Carla behind the bar and snack shop are hands-​down the best! Carla always remembers what I want to drink and Helen is so friendly, I just love seeing her every time we go! The lanes are oiled regularly and I’ve never had a problem with the equipment. I look forward to bowling here for many years to come! :)

Not really the best bowling experience I’ve ever had.
The General manager did not look like he wanted to be there. He seemed annoyed when I was paying admission. He seemed even more annoyed (as was I) when my fiancé’ decided she needed socks as well and he already had run my card.
In fact, no one seemed to want to be there that evening. I don’t expect everyone to LOVE their job insanely at all times, but when I drop almost $ 100 dollars on two people (admission, socks, food, and beer) in a place, I’d like to see a smile or two.
Went for an evening extreme skate. The light show was awesome and set the mood. The music selection was decent but the speakers were awful. I think they only had half of them working because I only ever heard half a song.
Wasn’t a terrible experience. It’s a fun and clean place with affordable prices. However, if I decide to spend that much again, I may find a place where they seem happy to take my money, and I can hear an entire song.

My normal lanes are the Tempe Village lanes (US60 and Rural). However, this one is closer to my house and I go when I just want to work on my game.
I like these lanes, for some reason better than the TV lanes. Maybe it is fresher oil? Not sure but I have my two highest games scored here.
No comments on the food, but seems like the normal food.
I also like the bowling pro shop here.
