Linden Lanes

It was a very opened and clean place. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I will definitely go back.

This is one of those neighborhood establishments. Let me clarify, they cater to their regulars more then causal customers. The attendant is somewhat helpful, but if you want a nice positive family outing try another alley. Last but not least, they do not take credit cards.

Typical bowling alley… pizza hut will make you feel like death, but otherwise it’s a fun random date night.

Never understood why this house get low stars. It is one of the best houses in central to northern Jersey. Always clean. And the lanes are always dressed nicely. Have not been here once where it was bone dry for open bowling like other houses.
The snack bar is good. Prepared fresh and reasonably priced for a bowling alley.
Management is nice and the staff friendly. They semester to always be helpful and in a mood for conversations and jokes. They give you the family environment feel when you enter act with them.
Great place for leauges, practice, group and family fun.

Had a play date here with my 4 & 1 year old. We had a blast. Friendly people, clean and fast service. 2^nd time here.

The place is nice, it’s good for all people including kids. They have a bar area with a pool table. There are video games machines for kids, pizza hut… it was just awesome. The employees are very welcoming. All was just great. You go there, you can’t regret it.

I often go on Sunday mornings. Even with plenty of birthday parties, they usually have lanes open.
The staff is friendly and polite.
There is a bar with beer first thing in the morning even and an area with Pizza Hut foods. All food and alcohol is cash only however but there is an ATM on site.
Even though I suck at bowling, I really enjoy coming here.

Great little bowling alley. Went there on a Saturday night around 8, and waiting less than 15 minutes for some lanes. The place was clean and the staff was friendly. Looked like there were a lot of fun options for kids plus a bar for adults. Would definitely go back!

date this happen 7÷11÷201 Was there for the first time on a Saturday night the place was not so full the lady at the counter was very rude, disrespectful, I asked her if they had the bumper rails from my five-​year-​old and she said with an attitude there either up or down and walked away from me I ended up not bowling there we got a refund and I assume she was maybe a manager because she was able to give me my refund back. I will not recommend this place I am a big believer in customer service and she has no clue of what customer service Really is just Moved to the area and was trying to find something to do with the family stay away. No stars if i could

Some parts of this place may be dirty, but overall it is a fun place to bowl. They do give out special coupons at times, which is a plus.

I am a bowling fanatic, been bowling since I was six years old and this center ranks high on my list of favorite bowling spots. I bowled a league here during the fall for 32 weeks and I have observed that the place is clean with good lighting, lanes are in great shape and the staff is very helpful. I have not been here for open/​fun bowling but I do know they have a special for almost every day of the week.
The food here is okay, I am not a fan of Pizza Hut myself but whenever I get water from the restaurant, the crew is always nice and helpful. Once when I was bowling league here, my mom ordered a salted pretzel and when she received it, there was too much salt on it for her. She then began to scrape some salt off into a garbage can and one of the kitchen staff noticed this and without asking her, brought out a brand new pretzel with just the right amount of salt on it. To top it off, he did it for free, apologized about the mistake even though it wasn’t their fault and wouldn’t take any money for it. This little gesture really made me appreciate the restaurant staff and the way this bowling center is ran.
Great place to take the family for some open bowling fun or if a person would like to join a league, I highly recommend this place.

I came here with my son on a Saturday afternoon. We waited about 20 minutes for a lane. The place was decently clean, but very old fashioned. The prices were very reasonable. We had the option of paying $ 20 dollars per hour flat rate. This price even included two pairs of bowling shows. I opted however for the $ 5 per person/​per game option. My one pet peeve was that my son (5 years old) needed to play with the bumpers up. Because of that, the bumpers were up the entire time even when it was my turn to bowl. I guess they haven’t updated yet to get the software that only raises the bumpers for the bowlers who need them. However, my son had a blast and the prices were extremely fair. We’ll be back.

I came in on a weekday afternoon with my work (a large group of Autistic kids) and there were more than enough lanes open to accommodate us. We got bumpers and one of those little stand things that helps little kids roll the ball down. They THANKFULLY didn’t make us put on bowling shoes – we would have literally been there for three years. I also think we got the game for free, which was really sweet of them. I’d come back again just because they helped out our group.

Only 24 lanes at this house. On top of that, it’s a Nationwide center, so that means it’s second rate. Brunswick houses are the best for open bowling, and for league bowling AMF and Brunswick is where the money is.
Nationwide lanes are for kid’s birthday parties and boozers that like to people watch as they delve into their stupor. This particular house has a pro-​shop, bar, synthetic lanes, automatic scoring and is open til 2am on Friday and Saturday. There’s definitely enough parking for such a small house.
If you’re thinking about joining a league, Nationwide houses are the best place to start out because they put a super easy shot pattern. I asked the attendant if they have a scratch league that uses a sport shot, and he said no.
I figured as much…

One of the best bowling alleys in the area!
Linden Lanes is a great place to join a league, roll a few games for practice, or go out for a fun afternoon/​night with friends.
Linden Lanes has been a highly competitive alley for league bowlers for years! Every time I have been inside there is a league match and I always see 300’s on the sign outside.
They have synthetic lanes here for any of you bowlers wanting to know. The staff maintains the lanes very well and the pro shop offers some of the fastest and most knowledgeable service around. Most bowling alleys I have passed through never have a pro shop that is open during regular hours.
Linden offers some of the BEST specials around for any bowler looking to roll a ton of games or for the casual bowler looking to have a ton of drinks. Either way it’s a win-​win. For a good couple of months they ran a $ 1 game and $ 1 beer special on Monday nights. I don’t care where you go, that deal cannot be beat! Hopefully it’s still around when you go.
Check them out online for hours and updated specials @
The typical price for one game is about $ 3 during the day, and $ 5 at night. Shoe rentals are around $ 3.
Now get out there and bowl!
