Hillside Lanes — Local services in Siloam Springs

0/10 Do NOT recommend to have a birthday party here! We booked it a week before and they said it was fine to have it Saturday night. However, once all our family shows up, they aren't even ready for a party to be held there. We try to do cake and presents first, and once I get the candles put in our son's birthday cake she comes over to tell me, "I thought we weren't doing this yet?" Saying we have to bowl first because "it's open bowling night and we'll get slammed!" I paid to have the party, I don't think y'all get to plan it out for us! So the grandmas and aunts that aren't able to bowl, had to wait around for everyone else to finish because their other customers come first and you may get busy? Even though we paid almost $150 to have an awful experience. This place doesn't deserve to stay in business for how awful they treat their customers. We've been coming here for years and you will absolutely never have our business again!

This place is just the way it was when I went back in 2013. Nothing has changed and it's just the way I like it. Concessions offer candy, fountain drink, beer, wine coolers, burgers, nachos, fries.

Me and my wife go here when we have a family outing with our children. There's bumper lanes for the little ones and the staff are friendly to all adults and children. My grandfather said he helped build the place and I'm great ful that it's still going strong. The retro look is nice and homey and it feels good to leave the world and step back in time. There's also a juke box. The prices are amazing and in my opinion, better than any bowling alley in Northwest Arkansas. They even have...

So I get that it was a bad day, the lanes were down and such, but, the older man that works there was pretty rude to us. It was our first time bowling so we were rightfully confused but he seemed to be picking on us specifically. Each one of us in the party got a special bad experience with him. And at the end we decided to leave because we clogged the machine (how were we supposed to know not to throw too many balls) and he was pretty cross with us and made us upset. The building is clean, beautiful, and very aesthetically pleasing. And the price was second to none! I recommend coming here but just know that on A bad day some tempers might be a...
