Bowling is one of my favorite things to do! I always have fun here! I hang out with a social group and we go bowling at this place. I also come here with my family or by myself. The staff are friendly and provide good service. It's easy to book a lane on the Lucky Strike website. Use the promo code Lucky Strike provides because it can lower the cost of booking your lane. I've been here before when it's not busy at all. I recommend going to Lucky Strike on days when it's slow and not too busy. It's nice that I live close to this place because it's about 9 miles from my house. I'll keep coming back because I like the people who work there! Soon, I'll be getting my own bowling ball.

This is one of our favorite places to do work events. We usually rent a few lanes with food and have a decent time. The employees and staff are always tentative in serving us. The only thing is their men's restroom. The handicap stall is missing a lock and its always been dirty and wet the past few visits. Great bowling alley! Great Staff!

Birthday party for a group of adults with special needs. Surprisingly, the place was nearly empty on a Saturday. Automated system, bumper guards. We'll be back!

Didn't realize their prices went up. WAAAY UP! Dropped a few Hundo's in just a few hours. No alcohol and just four kids bowling 3 games and playing some video games. Used to cost about $60 but now... Not sure if this is just the new after Covid price of things or the world has just gone into trying to get whatever slice you can get from erebody but MAAAAN I gotta take out a loan to pay my rent now .. just kidding. Had lots of fun for those couple Hundo's. Food is good but the kids thought the pizza sauce was too spicy so I got super fat tonight.

We love using the summer pass at Lucky Strike in San Marcos. Today one of the managers, Joshua was really helpful. He saw me looking for an employee so I could place a food order and came right over and took my order. We had to wait a bit for a lane to open up, so Jolene cleaned a recently vacated table, so we could have a place to sit while we waited. All the employees seem to work hard to keep things moving smoothly.

The original plans with my family changed and we decided on going bowling instead and it ended up being a better time than the original plan. Incredible service and great food! Love the atmosphere!! & how the managers constantly check on you is genuinely something I've never seen before. We felt so taken care of! Will come again!!

I grew up in San Marcos, so this place will always be Eagle Bowl to me even though it was Bowlero before becoming Lucky Strike Gone are the glorious days of $2 bowling, but the glow-up is real. The place looks great, and if you book two lanes, you get a semi-private booth that makes you feel way more VIP than your bowling score probably deserves. One thing to know: the no outside food or drink policy is enforced with the enthusiasm of airport security. I'm talking employee walking around checking to see if anyone is eating or drinking anything that wasn't ordered on-site. Don't even think about bringing in your emotional support water bottle. The funny part is they have tablets at every booth so you can order without bothering anyone...except our server wanted us to order directly through them anyway. So the tablet mostly served as a high-tech menu. We had a great time. The atmosphere is lively, the setup is awesome for groups, and I'd happily come back--just hydrated in advance.

This is a great venue for a bowling party. They have a good website to reserve lanes and purchase party packages. The service is friendly, helpful and we had a great experience here. Each manager and team member introduced themselves and tried to help out. It's normally a bit pricey but there's was a summer special that's about $20pp. There are sampler plates and they let you bring in cake and decorations. The bathrooms need a little cleaning but the rest of the facilities were clean and tidy. There are arcades and air hockey. We will be back!

Had a great time bowling here and food was top notch. We didn't reserve lanes but was able to sneak in late afternoon on a Saturday. Lanes were well maintained and we used house shoes and balls. Only strange thing was so many balls are just stored under the ball holders by the lane versus behind the lanes. However many were double drilled for different sized fingers. Space is a little tight when both sides of the lane is being used so you do have to squeeze by each other a lot between the two areas. Table is kinda small. There is more space behind the lanes as well with some extra surfaces to hold drinks and food. Food was epic - literally best I've had at any bowling alley. We ordered the buffalo chicken quesadillas and the appetizer platter. Everything on the platter was tasty especially the chicken. Huge menu, good portions. Drinks were nice and cold. It was a bit hard to snag our server at times but he was very attentive when we did catch him.

Had a great time bowling with the kids. Everything looks clean and well maintained. Lanes worked great and we had no problems. Everybody was helpful and friendly. Kids also enjoyed the Arcade. Looks like they added prizes, which we were told will be open in 2 weeks or so. The summer passes look like a great deal. Regular bowling is pricey.

We had such a great experience at Lucky Strike thanks to Joshua, the manager! We celebrated my daughter’s birthday there, and he went above and beyond to make sure she had an amazing time. Me and all my kids had a blast for it being our first time, it was definitely a hit and absolutely worth it. The staff was super helpful, attentive, and provided excellent customer service from start to finish. The atmosphere was fun, welcoming, and perfect for both kids and adults. We’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend for birthdays or a fun family night out!

Lucky Strike San Marcos is a fun spot that combines bowling, arcade games, and a bar all in one lively space. Pros: This place is huge and perfect for going with a group. The vibe is really fun and energetic, with good music and movies playing while you bowl which makes the experience even better. The bowling lanes are really nice and well-kept, and at around $13.99 per person per round (not including shoe rental), it felt like an okay deal for a group activity. A bit too expensive for me. They also have an arcade, which adds another layer of fun beyond just bowling, so you can switch things up throughout the night. There's also a bar on-site where we grabbed some beers, which made it feel more like a full night-out spot rather than just an activity. I did not have the food but they have options in the case you want to order some. Everything felt clean and well-maintained, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Parking is another big plus there's a large lot and it's completely
