ACME Bowling, Billiards & Events Reviews

Went in on Tuesday during the day for the first time. Was informed that it was recently bought out and was going through renovations. Plenty of bowling lanes and good deals on drinks. Plenty of parking as well.

Can only speak for Saturday evening... Stay home!! Parking is almost impossible, and staff seems completely overwhelmed. I will say that the employees seem to do as well as can be expected under extreme conditions.

Fun, clean bowling alley for the family. Taking your kids to a bowling alley is always sketchy but this one was clean and employees were nice.

As full featured as a bowling alley can get. Reasonable pizza (for a bowling alley). The giant screens are a little much for me, but the kids loved 'em.

Great atmosphere and food selection of beverages for a large group of people

Great food. We had a company Christmas party here and it was a ton of fun

Food was greasy and sub par. Bowling Lanes were sticky, shoes were cheap and beyond well used. Facility is nice overall. Staff were friendly.

Attended cosmic bowling in the evening and it was just over an hour wait for a lane. The atmosphere was good and the place was clean. The food could have been better, but it wasn't too bad. The service left a bit to be desired. I decided part way through that I wanted some food and a drink and waited 40 minutes before anyone came to our lane to check

Place is beautiful, clean, modern, lots to do, but the service has been awful at the bar the last two times we were there. One weekday and a saturday. Everyone is nice though and it's a great date or family place to visit

Great service, great nachos and the bowling was fun too! I will definitely be bringing my family back, even if it is a bit out of the way for us!

In need of serious revamping/ renovation. Used to enjoy this place as a kid but, from the looks of it, it isn't being well maintained.

They're called "bowlero" now. Prices went up, quality and service went wayyyyyyyy down. 10/10 don't recommend

Great atmosphere awesome happy hour. Billiards, comedy, ping pong , dancing and good drinks

Food was great! We got a 6lb burger, nachos, and a pitcher of beer. Yes I said that right, 6lbs burger. It will feed me for the next few days. Out service was questionable at best. Yes they were busy, I just feel the pool tables were completely ignored. We tracked down a several each time we needed something. I feel they were under staffed which lead to fewer drinks ordered.

can't lie... I had a great time here with the family. decently expensive but we'll worth it. The food was pretty good for bowling alley food and the lanes were spacious!

Met up with some co-workers here for my farewell party and this place was fantastic. They have so much to do and the place is new and quite modern. The bowling was quite reasonable and it was great to have a server come to the lane to for any food and drink orders that we needed. Overall a great place to go with family or friends.

Typical bowling alley that differentiates itself with a decent collection of local beers and tasty snacks.

I was here for a corporate event, great food and service, plus fun games.

I haven't gone bowling in a long time. I went for an event and it was a lot of fun. We were in the special bowling allies that are for parties with big cushy chairs, big TV's at the back of the alley, tables, buffet, and a waitress. I would do it again.

Great bowling prices, food and drink were a little over priced. It was packed but the service staff did keep up.

Great bowling alley. It looks nice and is up to date unlike some older bowling locations. There's food, a bar, 20+ lanes and much more.

Food was pretty good, coffee was great, service was a bit slow but service staff were accommodating and made me feel welcome.

Bar, bowling and more.
Decent spot

Great fun atmosphere, did not encounter any technical issues and drink service was fantastic.

Meh. Nothing special. I prefer the old style bowling alley!!!!

Was put on a waiting list for a 90 minute game of bowling,,when our lane was available and ready we were informed that the facility would be closing in thirty minutes!! Why weren't we informed when we checked in???
Would not recommend!!!

Been there couple of times, Awful service in the bar, now I understand have only few people even when Seattle Seahawks plays, every other place near by is always full.

A modern facility with smooth lanes and digital score boards. House balls are all drilled for two sizes but you don't get a choice of weights. Your finger size determine what weight you can use as there is only one weight available per size.

The approach is a bit sticky. I'm used to sliding a bit just before release. This didn't work well as I found myself having to hop sometimes during my forward stroke to keep my balance. (Never a good thing.) Additionally they use lane markers that are nearly completely invisible under the UV lights that seem to be the only lane ilumination. It wasn't until my 8th frame that I even saw they had a 6' row of dots. Not that it helped, because you can't see them from the approach even when you know where they are.

Pizza and wings are okay, nothing great or amazing about them. Better than little ceaser's but who isn't.

Okay place for families or office parties, but I would not try to use this place for competitive play... Unless you're league plays on pogo sticks while blindfolded or some other weird thing like that.

Pretty fun place but takes some waiting to do most things. Bowling wait time is long. Over all very fun for groups

Great fun for the family, however it is a bit pricey. Wait time was around 45 minutes on a Saturday, pretty normal. When your lanes are ready they notify you by text, and plenty of things to do during the wait up to and including:

The arcade in which a vast majority of the games were fully functional, a secondary bar you can use to order drinks and watch TV, pool tables, and table shuffle board. Also, you can roam with your drinks which is great if you have kids who want to play games.

The bowling itself was great, booth like areas seperate every 2 lanes, each lane can easily sit a group of five.

Service was better than expected while bowling (drinks/orders came in about 10 minutes on average).

We will be going back, absolutely.

Cool place. Great For a company off-site. Lots of great tech and food makes it fun. Did not use the killer arcade but it looked fun.

Great place for both adults and children! Place is well kept and food is great as well!

Pretty cool place. It has a lot more than just bowling. It seems clean and was a good place to bowl. Went there for a company thing so, I can't say if the cost was decent.

Was a really great time w my family. Wait times are long for Bowling so get a head start. We played billiards and had a blast. Lots to do at Acme Bowl.

Awesome family oriented atmosphere. Great for spending good quality time with family and/or friends. Easy access and good parking options.

Stay away after 9pm... there was so many security and police it made me feel uncomfortable.... it's only a bowling alley but the man power made me feel like I was in a club or something..... no thanks.

I was here for a company event , which was a great team building experience! We all had a great time and got to know one another outside of work. The bowling was fun, but the food and drinks made the social atmosphere even better.
There is something for everyone of all ages, and the services/accommodations are

Great staff!! Great service!! Great food!! Had a wonderful time!!!! You have to go!!!

The lanes are alright but super oily and the balls fine but the shoes are horrible and it is extremely over priced.

Nice and clean place. Friendly and not annoying staff. I would say the best bowling yet in our area.

The bathrooms were nasty smelt like a sewer plant an they still serving food i got sick from the smell

I haven't been bowling for a very long time. My experience here was so much nicer than I remember! The shoes were fairly new. There is a nice arcade. There was a server that greeted our group and brought us ice water and glasses. You can order food from a screen right at the lane and pay for it right there. It was so smooth and easy to get our group of 16 youth in and out.

Nice place with music. I bit pricy for my point of view.

Coming from out of town for a business trip this place was great to unwind and just hang out with coworkers.

Cool place. Lots to do. Not the old fashioned bowling alley that I remember.

Bowling, bar, billiards and arcade can't go wrong with this establishment fun for any outing

The Smokehouse Burger Tabletops And the Manny's beer

Absolutely fun place to visit the staff there was awesome waiters were right on time with drinks and food

Drinks are a bit pricey and bartenders aren't the greatest. Otherwise decent.

My bowling shoes smelled like feet; and afterward, my feet smelled like those feet.

Very nice especially around 5:00 pm when all of the colorful lights turn on.

This bowling alley has pool tables, the lights were incredible, we showed up during noon hours. Everyone was bowling, we were all having fun. The food is really delicious, I recommend the fries, they have garlic and 3 really good sauces especially the special sauce.

At first I had a bad experience, due to a company change the weekend of my party. But after talking to a manager, and the situation being explained, we were well taken care of. I do think it's still expensive, I'm not going to stay it wasn't worth it. Food was great, ordering drinks was fast and easy, and the staff took good care of us. The lanes are OK, super greasy but in great shape.

Speechless best adult place ever.n bowling super as well.

The lanes aren't the best for spinning/curving. Limited ball weight choices also. Still fun and has a big bar

Was there for a Christmas party and the food was great. Bowling lanes themselves almost seemed a bit too oily though. And when it was really busy I did have a bit of a hard time finding a ball that I liked.

They recently changed management and changed for the worse. First, the arcade prices are ridiculously high (like $2.50 for a single round of skee ball). Second, they used to allow you to pay for bowling by hour or by game but now the only option is per person per game. Third, they got rid of all of their old bowling balls and ordered a set of generic ones where all the 8 pounders are the same, all the 10 pounders are the same, and so on. Usually you go into an ally and they have old balls and you spend time finding the perfect one. A major problem I have with the new system is if I want to bowl anything heavier than 10 pounds with medium sized finger holes, I can't. Medium finger holes limit me to using an 8 pounder or a 10 pounder. Further, the balls have two thumb holes. they're basically toys.
All that being said, there really aren't a ton of bowling options around here and the prices, while expensive, are still cheaper than a lot of bowling places.

OK bowling is fun yep fun. Now that we got that over with let's goto the negative. Yep bowling is expensive. Four people one game 50 plus dollars. One oder of nachos one giant pretzel (and I mean giant) one pitcher of Pepsi, no coke lol, and a blue drink of some kind which was good 50 plus bucks.
So to the Positive on a Saturday afternoon we got in no wait. Didn't get in in Puyallup Kent or federal way. Desk dude was awesome waiter awesome. I will go again next time I have 120 bucks with nothing to do. Also we did play for two hours so 60 bucks an hour not bad or 30 bucks a person again not bad.

Super fun bowling alley! Catered food for parties is delicious. Fun evening with friends!
