AMF Commack Vet Lanes

I felt misled and deceived by staff members.

First time at this bowling alley and I actually liked it! It doesn’t get as crowded, the staff is super nice and helpful, there are a lot of lanes. They have a great selection of food and drinks. I will definitely be coming back!

This review is for the family bowling party on New Years Eve. For NYE you reserve and pay ahead of time for a mainly children’s oriented party. From 7pm-​10pm you get to bowl, enjoy a buffet dinner, dessert, coffee and soda included and also a NYE countdown with a champagne toast and non-​alcoholic kids drink with balloon drop. They also have an assortment of party hats, tiaras and noisemakers.
I went with my family which consisted of 6 adults and 4 kids. We had a lot of fun bowling and we had our own lanes and seating area. Since you reserve everything ahead of time, they assign you your own section which includes the tables in front of your lanes. The atmosphere was fun, with music videos playing on the screens at the end of each lane and good music the whole night.
Food– it wasn’t their normal menu. Although you could still order and pay extra for food and drinks off of the regular menu. The buffet food sucked. Tray of eggplant Parmesan was inedible, baked ziti wasn’t good, meatballs were scary and way too salty. They had hero sandwiches but cut them up into halves and quarters. Very stingy! You could go back for more food but why would you? It wasn’t good. I would not eat from the buffet if we go again next year. Dessert was a joke. Coffee and tea (My mom who loves coffee said the coffee was horrible and couldn’t finish her cup!) and all they offered were Costco type cookies, two kinds and they cut the cookies in half.
Minus the food and figuring this event is geared towards the children then it’s not too bad (my nephews didn’t even finish their hotdogs bc they didn’t like them!!) I guess it’s a decent NYE event for families. I had a good time because I was having fun with my family. I wish they had better food, updated the bowling alley to 2016, and had two areas for the soda and two for food so there were no long waits on each line.

I would rather eat glass than bowl here. 5 stars though I love bowling.
Edit: eating glass sounds painful I’d probably bowl instead

Great bowling alley. Fun atmosphere. Good music. The food is tasty. Staff is friendly. Sign up for the emails for discounts and also you can find discounts on groupon.

Vet Lanes has been the main bowling favorite for my friends and I since we were small. Even though we live within minutes of Larkfield Lanes in East Northport, we’ve learned that it’s always worth the drive out to Commack for a great local bowling night. The prices are decent and manageable and there’s usually deals afoot, so check your local publications. They’re open pretty late too, so don’t feel rushed if you wanna take multiple rounds. Sometimes we get snacks, and it’s bowling alley snacks so you know what to expect. But judging on the bowling alone, the staff is really helpful and patient, there’s a good assortment of bowling balls to choose from and there’s quite a few lanes– so even on a league night service doesn’t really slow down. Definitely one of the better alleys around, worth a stop in!

Updated furniture, clean, friendly staff, always a fun time for the family! Can be expensive but they are always running deals.

This is a pretty nice bowling alley for both kids and adults. I was here on a Sunday afternoon and definitely most people here are family with small children with kids pop playing on the screen haha. The lanes are clean and rental shoes are kept in pretty great condition.
The food’s pretty decent about same you expect from regular bar food items. They are pretty attentive and cleans up the plates and leftovers regularly. Regular prices are bit steep I think close to $ 20 for 2 hours per person so they charge by hours and not by game. However they do have groupon deals for all AMF locations and we were able to get a really great deal.
And they dim the lights so it was quite fun to bowl in dark glowing lights :) Overall very good deal if you come in with some discounts otherwise its quite a premium at regular prices. They also have Tuesday night specials if you’re up for weeknight bowling.

Was there today with my daughter and her friend. We had a great time. They totally transformed this facility. Nice and clean. Staff nice and friendly.

Great experience! I actually was a little discouraged by the dirty sign picture here on Unilocal,but am I glad I came. I did two hours of bowling, however there was a 45 minute wait to bowl, which was easily filled by playing pool and having some drinks. When the ally is ready you get open environment with comfortable red couches, and a middle table to set your drink. I like the relaxed environment, and the size of it is a good size, its not too compact. One of my favorite things about bowling alleys is the open space and not being too crammed, and this one does that well. The bowling shoes they give you are nice, they are not wore out or smelly. I will definitely be returning, for anyone in the area, this one is local and a good place to hangout.

Fine… nothing special. It’s a bowling alley with crap food and mediocre beer. I hadn’t been here for years… hasn’t changed much!

Although a little smaller then some of Long Island’s other alleys, Commack AMF provides a fun experience for novices like myself right up to semi-​pro local bowling teams of retired policemen or volunteer fire fighters. The computers were set up for us during our Thursday evening visit. It was surprisingly crowded, too. Shoes and bowling balls were in fair condition. Only one waitress /​lane attendant for the whole bowling alley forced long waits for drinks and food. I was surprised that the food tasted as good as it did. I liked the chicken quesadillas a lot. Place was kinda dirty, they really need to hire a second lane attendant and a maintenance man to collect the piles of trash around the alley and to clean up the dirty restrooms. Even with these issues, Commack AMF was a fun time out with friends. Being so close to the highway makes it convenient to people from different parts of Long Island. Excellent for groups and children can join in the fun with dinosaur /​crocodile ramps and lane bumpers if needed. Commack Lanes exceeded my expectations and we’d return again. Steeeeeeerike!

Best cherry cupcake martini!!!

Much like Sayville (
), AMF Commack Lanes recently got a makeover (in much the same style). Plasma TVs with varied animation styles and added features (like pitch speed in M.P.H.) entertain and show you how you’re doing, aside from keeping score. There are about 40 lanes here, with a good availability for open bowling.. . good for kids and groups. There are daytime leagues for old timers, and M-​F rates are $ 3.25 a game. A nice looking pro-​shop and contemporary video arcade. A comfortable ‘modern’ experience, though it doesn’t have any kind of odd electricity or vibe that’s interesting out of the ordinary. Even the house balls are uniform, rather new, and totally devoid of character.
