A jolly good time for sure. The environment is always fun and a great idea for adults and children alike. The menu options for food are great. If your picky about your food the I suggest you eat before you get there. I could classify the menu as bar food. Yum!!! They offer pitchers of beer and have an ok selection. Cleaning the area after a patron leaves and another group if patrons arrives has no sense of urgency. We ended up cleaning the tables and chairs ourselves. Â Other than that we had a blast.
Review Source:The last time I was here I spent over 45 minutes to bowl 4 frames with 3 friends.  The  pin setter kept malfunctioning and every time they said it was fixed, 2 balls later it would be doing the same thing.  They didn't even offer us anything in return, I had to demand for our money back and this took another 30 minutes to get it back as there was no manager in sight!!
Review Source:Decent place to roll a few. Â
A little pricey, but not awful.
Lanes are well maintained and properly oiled. Â I've had almost no issues with the pinsetter, ball return, etc. Â It's pretty modern equipment and they keep it working well.
Beer was cold and came in pitchers. Â
Too far away for me to frequent regularly, but I'd go back.
I've been here a few times. Â If you want to pay double-triple what you would elsewhere, have random times when the lanes are lighted only with flashing LEDs between them (such as 1:25pm on a Saturday), love screens that come down and play the Jonas Brothers at earbleed level, and staff that is utterly worthless, you'll love it here. Â Seriously. Â Yesterday there were three employees watching as a woman walked down the gutters to remove a ball that had gotten stuck. Â The ball had been rolled by her developmentally disabled adult son. Â They just watched. Â
This is the place that convinced me to join Yelp. That's how bad it is. Â Avoid at all costs.
Not a bad set up.
For the record though, AMF White Plains Lanes is not in White Plains. It's on the outskirts, in the neighboring town of Greenburgh.
I had a coupon for $2.49 per person per game, which was fair, compared to places down in Manhattan. You pay additional for shoe rental, but the shoes are clean and comfortable.
The alley wasn't too crowded. Refreshments are plentiful, and I suggest getting the BUCKET OF SODA (it says it's a large but we all know good and well that it's a damn bucket). Balls are good (LAWL), as are the lanes.
My only complaint was the music. Maybe a kids' party was going on this past Saturday afternoon but the Radio Disney medley began to grate on the nerves after a while!
I wrote a review about this place a while back but I'm adding way more to it since this is one of my favorite things to do and I've been coming here almost every week to go bowling. Yes screw the wp bars on the weekends, I come here and partay.
So they started new deals...please do yourself a favor and check them out..like unlimited bowling for $12 mon-thursday 9 till close, and then school deals 2-5 for half that. Â It's amazing. Â I alway receive coupons via email they send if you just sign up for it. Â
So many lanes available. Â i like talking to the people that work there, they usually hook us up with lanes away from bigger groups of people. Â And the manager there is super nice as well.
The one thing that sucks though is the waitresses, they are slow as hell and you have to wave them down to get food, and by the time you order food it's your 5th game, and they just suck ass. Â So just get food and bring it back to your table, best way. Â Your beers will take as long as it takes to brew them. Â Go get it at the bars yourself.
Bathrooms are mehh, it's a bowling alley...what do you expect?
my company does our annual bowling game here every year. this was my first year actually attending.
$20 for a bucket of 5 Blue Moons? eh, sure. we snagged the last few Blue Moons for the night.
the pizza was okay. fairly similar to Dominos in quality, but after you've had a few beers, this isn't a bad thing. also, I didn't pay for it. to be fair, they were quick with bringing up more as soon as it ran out (we get free lunch at our company, so the employees at my company can put a swarm of locusts to shame with how fast we devour food).
lanes seemed a little tighter than some others I played on in the past. also, the balls seemed a bit oily. I'm not sure I like having my balls feeling oily.
the touch screens for data entry were pretty good, a nice concession to modernization, and I think we only had 2 incidents where we had to get an employee to fix something in the whole night.
the random appearance by a black cowboy just added to the atmosphere, I must say.
Bowling is really fun, especially when you don't have to put up with the ridiculous NYC prices. I came here with my friends last Summer, and had a blast! 2 hours of unlimited bowling for $12 (with my friend's coupon), you can't beat that!
This White Plains AMF location is pretty clean and up to date. The workers have always been the attitude-giving types but if you need help with something, they will assist you (while giving you an attitude).
They charge $2 for socks (could be more now) so don't forget to bring your own socks!
In the latest of the Supper Club adventures, my folks and I went to AMF White Plains Lanes to bowl. Â I hadn't bowl for a long time, so I decided to give the place a try.
While the whole party was ordering bowling shoes, I went to the concession area to order a buffalo chicken sandwich. Â I waited roughly ten minutes before I recieved the sandwich. Â The sandwich tasted quite good, but the buffalo chicken wasn't that flavorable and the bread wasn't that fresh, plus I felt guilty eating the sandwich since it had so many calories. Â I came back to the stand to pick up my drink, managing to clear up a misunderstanding to a waiting old man, telling him that I forgot to pick up my soda earlier. Â Speaking of the soda, I feel so much better.
I joined the rest of my fellows to enjoy the bowling, where I displayed some of my bowling skills, using the medium ball. Â What I like more in the bowling alley though, is the arcade, in which I played a hunting game.
That was fun at the bowling alley and if I were to have a night out, then I would invite my friends to AMF White Plains Lanes.
I've been a few times for bowling with my friends. The moonlight bowling (10pm on Saturday) is kind of annoying because they play crappy music videos on the big TVs on endless loop with no apparent rhyme or reason. We saw the B-52s "Love Shack" followed by some blonde country singer followed by a 90s rap/R&B group, 3 times in a row the same 3 songs repeated. It's also intentionally poor lighting which makes bowling more challenging.
I went also for a company outing and that was fun. They served 3 kinds of pizza (plain, meat-lover's, veggie), wings, mozzarella sticks, onion rings, chicken fingers, and pitchers of Coke & Sprite. The food wasn't exactly fine dining but it wasn't too bad. However the service was somewhat slow.
Overall not bad, but Cortlandt Lanes is a better bowling alley. White Plains' lanes are more oily and it's more expensive.
This is a bowling alley. Â It's not the cleanest place in the world and some of the people here are a little terrifying but hey: it's a bowling alley, what do you expect.
They've got nice electronic scoring systems and the shoes and balls are in decent shape so yeah, for bowling alleys, this is a good place.
