Lane broke down in 10th frame. New person did not know what to do. Had to switch to other lane. Overall, it's nice, small.

Nice people and good food. Great prices! Best bowling alley in a 50mile radius likely.

I was pleasantly surprised, it was actually better than I expected

Nice bowling alley to go to. Good atmosphere and environment. There is a bar and gaming too if you are into that stuff as well.

It only got one star because I had to leave one. Absolutely HORRIBLE! We went here Saturday night. The guy working was slow! When we got there it wasn't busy at all. He made us wait for our lane to bowl which our time was ticking away as we waited. Never ever order food here! My friends hubby and myself got super sick. Its nasty all of it. Plus you wait 10 min per fold order! We will never come back to Woodburn bowl. Not worth it especially since more than half the lanes are jacked up!

At this place It's definitely more about the company you are with than the establishment. Everything about it is old school & it's priced accordingly.

Woodburn lanes is very old in bowling lanes terms. It is a quaint little 12 lane alley with wood lanes and a recently purchased modern scoring system. Unfortunately, the kinks haven't quite been worked out with the new system and it sometimes causes malfunctions. More amusing than anything else, really. The pin setters sometimes drop pins, but that is easily handled and quickly correctable.The only real problem with this place is the lanes. Call me old fashioned, but I love bowling on wood lanes. But the lanes here have not been cared for properly. That said, I would still encourage novice and better bowlers to use these lanes if for no other reason than to improve their skills. Because of the poor condition of the lanes, bowling is quite challenging forcing the bowler to make major adjustments frequently.I understand that replacing the wood is expensive and that the place has recently changed ownership so I will wait and see what the new management does. If the lanes improve, I will change my rating accordingly.
Sally and I had great time there today on my 70th birthday!

The girl working was really nice but the lanes totally sucked. The pins weren't registering correctly so our scores were totally off. If we got a strike it would say 9 then we would have 2 more turns and then get 0. One of the frames I had that happen in I got 2 strikes and neither one registered not even as a spare. We will probably not be coming back especially after learning the owner was standing behind us the entire time we were there.

Under new management, employees were awesome help and we had a great 2hrs at the best $ around.

My family and I tried to make a reservation here. We called in on the morning of the day we planned to go and got a reservation at 5:30. We live about 30 minutes away so we left at 4:50. About 15 minutes into the drive there, we got a call from the alley telling us they have canceled our reservation due to leauge. Somebody at the place was clearly confused and put us down anyways even though there was leauge. Thank goodness they called us before we got any further. It's hard to bowl at these places anymore because they have leauge basically EVERY NIGHT. So, unless you join a league, good luck!

This bowling lane is not properly taken care of. The lanes look like they haven’t been oiled or taken care of in years! The lane it’s self that we had would drop the pins halfway down so we had to switch. I understand that some places have mechanical problems and they fixed the issue by moving my party to the other lane. The ball kept on getting stuck trying to go in the ball return and problem took about 20-30 of our time of asking the person working to be able to fix it. The employee of that day however was very nice and cooperative which is very appreciated. This place is out of date and old. I was shocked when I found it with 4.6 stars. That’s not what it rightfully deserves.

Small town charm, great place to bowl.
