Parkway Lanes is an icon of New Jersey bowling, featured in countless movies and TV shows. It was given a major update and renovation and now features ultra-modern scoring, automatic bumpers, and the latest video games. The place is really nice, well maintained, and a clean space. It feels like a hidden gem of a spot where the experience can be very pleasant. Many have a great time and a lot of fun, citing the great food and drinks, with not one complaint. The pricing is also noted as something you can't go wrong with. However, some find the experience just okay. A common downside is service, with staff sometimes not being nice or welcoming, which can upset visitors. There can be small issues with the machines, like the one that takes the pins down. Their pricing structure also draws some criticism, with questions about the hourly rate and a desire for discounts for technical problems. Despite this, many would definitely do it again, calling it the best service, experience, and value in North Jersey.
Big shout-out to Pete, Parkway Lanes’ tall, hardworking maintenance legend! Whether he’s fixing something, helping someone out, or simply towering over the rest of us with that great hair, Pete always brings a friendly attitude and gets the job done. Parkway Lanes hit a strike when they added him to the team!

Mathew is a fantastic bartender and helped our nephew find his favorite arcade prize. Made our experiences at the bowling alley a 10/10. I'd recommend the BBQ flatbread.

Spent about 3 hours here the other night having a great time! Lanes were well kept, bathrooms were clean, and the staff was so kind! I was visiting friends so its about an hour 1/2 from me but I would absolutely go out of my way to come back again
