@anonymous insider so are you saying EP never had the right GM? Xplain this cause we were please before November 2011.
You agree? |

@ Birdie. EP Lanes should have picked the right person for the job. They wouldn’t be in this mess right now. |

@ Birdie. More business for Cranston. Oh well. EP Lanes owners should have paid attention. |

Kathy heard your getting your old leagues back from EP Lanes. They will enjoy the free drinks and extra charges again. Maybe your sister Debbie will come and work with you there once Ed the GM brings EP Lanes down as he did with many others businesses. |

What’s with this place now? Not happy on Mondays. Langs or walnut next year for my team, leaning towards Woonsocket. At this point I’d rather drive all the way down to south Kingstown then deal with people that don’t care and certain egomaniac bowlers who attempt to s*ck any fun out of the league. |

NO dont get rid of them. Then Kathy will have all the customers for sure .. Bad idea, cops would park outside and pick off all the drunks like a duck shooting contest. |

WOW So many negative comments,this used to be a great place to bowl. What has happened? |
|
Comment Date: 2/27/2012 Name: League Bowler |
Many bowlers are welcome to come in when Kathy is working. Free drinks are on the house! |

DON’T I SAID DON’T go to EP Lanes, Kathy’s twin is there as well as a employee from the AMF staff, as the new GM,AWFUL JUST AWFUL. The “twins” are known for over charging the patrons as they worked as a team!
EP failed within 90 days, it’s dirty inside and out for real! The new GM has no clue. He is a 9 to 5 clocker! When ever did a GM have set hours? NEVER in the bowling world they work days n nights! NOT Mr. GM EV,no can do! EP has a few unhappy “good” employees (left) among a ton of new hires that do S**T! Shame shame EP,looks like OML & Walnut Hill will blow your center away.
AMF also,worse organization ever,and to boot Mr.GM EV used to work for them, go figure!
GOOD LUCK Cranston Bowl if I were you I’d head for the Hills & the Mountains! |

worst center in ri |

With me next year in Woonsocket with a new ball from their new pro shop. Going where they care about their customers as I’ve been told by everyone I know who bowls there. No one wants a place that just stagnates because no one listens to us or cares what the people in all our leagues think |

Comment Date: 2/17/2012 Name: Oh and… |

Went this past sunday to Cranston Lanes for Ladies Night, What an AMAZING DEAL!! Ladies bowl free and just pay $2 for shoes. Guys pay $7.50 and they bowl all night from 8-11pm! I will definitely be there again soon. The staff was extremely friendly even with the long wait. Once lanes opened up we were immediately placed on lanes! |

I got convinced to move here from OML this year by a couple teammates… and regret it big time as does the rest of my team even the two guys who sold it. OML may be in the middle of renovations but it still blows Cranston away, they have a much much friendlier atmosphere down in Wakefield in Cranston most of the time its like we’re bothering them because of this I actually drive from the city down to Wakefield to practice. We will be returning to OML next year and hopefully some of the other unhappy teams will decide to make the drive as well. This bitchy atmosphere also spreads to some of the bowlers there who are the whiniest pack of babies you’ll ever meet making excuses about everything from the oil to the phase of the moon, trying to drain all fun out of the game for everyone unless they happen to be striking all night. Cranston: never again. |

This center plain and simple s*cks!!! |

Never again. NEVER AGAIN! I hate this place. It is ridiculous to pay $3.35 for a game in an AMF center. The staff was very un-friendly. I wish the place would go outta business. |

horrible customer service and management in that place will never bowl there again |
|
Comment Date: 2/18/2010 Name: Anonymous |
I went there this weekend, The customer service is terrible. It took them forever to cash us out and they made us buy shoes even though other people didnt have to. And it took them 15 minutes to turn on our lanes. Very unprofessional. |

as an employee there that place has never been run better in years |
|
Comment Date: 7/16/2009 Name: Anonymous |
This is what you get in a corporate owned facility. They run the place cheap and hire teenagers who could care less about anything but a paycheck. AMF Lang’s on the other side of town is no better. Try a privately owned place like East Providence lanes. |

I bowl here on Sat. mornings and to answer your questions… the center opens around 11 and the service is excellent! This is the cleanest center around. |

BE WARNED! If You Are Buying Food Go Watch It Be Made, They Don’t Wash They’re Hands Or Hardly Ever Wear Gloves . I Have Visited Some Family Members That Are On A League There & EveryTime ,We’ve Had To Refuse The Food . The Best Night Was When The Lane Server Dropped The Food & Tried To Serve Someone One The League |

I called to find out the basics: hours of operation, cost and to give them the professional curtesy of letting them know in advance that I am coming in with a group of high school students. I’d already scanned all google sites to find said info, to no avail. When I called, the message machine was full. Can you believe that? This has got to mean that they do not check their messages on a daily basis. After reading all the other reviews referring to their second class customer service, I’m not surprised. Too bad. You’d think that the management (new or not) would want folks to tell positive tales…Really too bad. I still don’t know when they open. Damn! What am I going to do with my kids?! |

You did a terrible job hosting the Pepsi Tournament on March 9, 2008. The hour and a half delay was inexcusable for such an important event. You should have been better prepared. The lanes were not oiled, the change machines were broken so that you couldn’t make a purchase in the vending machines and there was no national anthem during the opening ceremony. Very shameful and totally bogus. |

Comment Date: 2/29/2008 Name: MOM |
how much does it cost?
for a lane or person |
|
Comment Date: 1/19/2008 Name: Bob |
If you need help or have a problem with the lane you only have to ask them 3 times until they do something! |

Comment Date: 8/4/2007 Name: Glenn |
Poor web site. You have a place to list the hours of operation & you DON’T!?!?!!?!?!?!
(Feel free to tell us the hours – We’ll be happy to post them! B2U Staff) |

Cranston Bowl used to be the best, but it is going downhill fast in my opinion. I hope the new manager can save it. |

I went to your lanes and had some issues. I feel that I have serious bacterial issues due to the bathrooms of your facility. I will be contacting the owner. |
