Ryan Family Amusements (Formerly Walnut Hill Lanes) - Walnut Hill — Local services in Woonsocket

Lanes and electronics are nice an all, but everything else about the place was horrible. The shoes given to myself and kids were beyond filthy. Tops covered in juice and food. Then the staff made it seem like it was some huge inconvenience to get a ball ramp for my 3 y/o daughter. After bowling of course kids wanna play in the arcade. Only maybe half of the games worked. We all know kids crave cashing in tickets for trinkets also, but unless you spend about $40 on games, I wouldn't count on getting much. The smallest "prize" was 2 tootsie rolls and a lollipop in a plastic bag...for 50 tickets! Lol! Before leaving in dismay, we went to wash our hands. The floors felt as sticky as a college dormroom after a night of beerpong. We literally had to dip our hands into the dispenser just to get some soap also! Like wow! And I gotta say, looking at how completely trashed the carpet was while walking from the bathroom to the exit door made me question how well of a decision I just made as a parent to come here at all. Never been here before, and never will again. Sorry not sorry. I'm not one to join the masses and nitpick establishments apart online, but I mean honestly...it was one thing after another. As a place to go out with some friends and drinks some beers as a twenty something, maybe not such a bad place. But it's in no way a family friendly place...

So we arrive there expecting to be able to utilize a deal that they advertise for Sunday.. So it's supposed to be like a burger a drink shoe rental 2 hours of bowling.. So we're standing over where you pay for your bowling time and this and that and the guy says they don't have a cook is really looking over and see someone in their kitchen LOL

So whatever they still offered us some type of deal for a dollar more but it was without any food... I just have to say sadly this place looks like it's about to go out of business. Everything just looks rundown worn-out nobody there.. It's just very sad to see this business just like running into the ground to staff you know the people that work there a freaking rude and ignorant.. their game room is pathetic.. And their prizes even sadder.. Something doesn't work they say oh well Very different atmosphere from even like A year ago .. Not sure I would even never bother going back many other bowling...

My partner and I have been looking for a place to bowl for a while but every one we’ve been to had a waiting list, because it’s always so abundantly full. I saw this place and decided to check it out, and boy, did it exceed my expectations. It’s a very traditional kind of bowling alley that you can actually take the time playing without all the crowds and fancy lights everywhere. They also have an arcade and some pool tables, which we didn’t get a chance to try out, but looks very entertaining as well. Customer service was great, had no issues and everyone was pleasant. The thing that impressed me the most though, was the bar. I can honestly say they have one of the best chicken wings I have had in my life and I just couldn’t get enough. The bartender catered to my sensitives alcohol taste buds and I thought it was delightful. Would definitely recommend this place and will...
