Thunderbird Lanes — Local services in Lawton

As an African American man I thought we were way past privilege... I came into this bowling alley with my family and friends, with enough people to take up two lanes. They had us wait even when they had open single lanes.. Now why today I am bowling with my cousin and since we were only paying to use one lane next to a recently freed up lane, we were asked to move to a different lane. All just so they could accept someone else's money to use two lanes. Why wasn't my family good enough to receive that same treatment?? On top of the inconvenience as a paying customer just like them.. to have to move next to a lane that was messing up, they even couldn't be patient enough to let us finish our game. Instead they restart the system for that lane and mine since it is on the same computer system. Saying it would only take a second, only for it to have taken more than 5 minutes. So I simply and respectfully asked for my money back for that game only, they didn't want to give me my money back and would rather have the money so bad they gave me bowling tickets instead of my funds. If I can't receive the same treatment or respect that any other ethnicity receives and "I asked" for my money back, the refund should have came equipped with tickets to try to at least repair their faults and my inconvenience on my dime. Respectfully, I'm not feeling equality nor mutual respect. The guy that was at the front was cool in my book but I can't really speak for how it was handled by...

I can’t say enough good things about Thunder Bird Lanes... For the past five months, my buddies and I—active-duty service members—have been bowling there every weekend.

From the moment we walked in, the owners and staff made us feel like part of the Thunder Bird family. They were always engaging with us, sharing small talk and showing genuine interest in our games and skill progress. It really created a welcoming atmosphere that kept us coming back week after week.

We also had a great experience in their pro shop. Renee was an absolute gem, helping us choose the perfect bowling balls and offering tips to improve our game. Her expertise and friendly demeanor made the whole process enjoyable.

The staff at Thunder Bird Lanes is consistently friendly and super helpful, always ready to assist bowlers and ensure the place stays clean and inviting. It’s clear that they take pride in their work, and it shows!

Overall, this has been the best bowling alley I’ve ever visited, and I can’t wait to return. If you’re looking for a great place to bowl with a fantastic atmosphere and exceptional staff, Thunder Bird Lanes is...

Today me and my friend went to bowling like usual. Our league name is Faith Bowlers. They usual give us league prizes and we go their alot. Their is a man their claims to be the manager he says he is a veteran and we dont have a problem with him, but every time he works he is rude to me and my friend, tells us we lie and we are a fake league. Waches us like a halk and says rude things to us. Today he wouldn't even turn the lane on for us to bowel so we left. If he continues to work their as the manager he needs to be demoted or fired because he has a problem with us and we are customers that come alot and spend money their. I wear my make America great hat alway enter the building and I believe he is bios to my hat and that cause him to be rude to us always. So if anyone is reading this just know thunderbird lanes is going to loose more customers over this manager for being rude to us and people like us. So boycott thunderbird lanes. Nobody needs to be in that environment as long as that...
