    Rancho Bowl hosted our company appreciation day.  I worked with Suzy Benson at Rancho Bowl to coordinate the event.  From the initial e-mails to the follow up afterwards; Suzy was informative and provided all information in a timely manner.  The day of the event the staff was wonderful.  Wade and Lolo greeted me upon arrival and went over food arrangements and pre-set the lanes with our attendees names; which made it really easy for everyone to find their lane.  The food came out on-time and was fresh and hot.  We had decided on party foods and selected the various appetizer platters, pizza and salad and desserts.  Susan and Karen who helped us with the food were great.; very pleasant to work with.  

    We loved that they played music and had the disco lights on; this was fun for us and the kids.  The bowling alley has been updated since the last time I was there a year ago.  The lanes are computerized, you can take your picture and little emoji's play throughout the bowl.  Another highlight for many people was we could select bumpers on a per person basis; so if only certain people wanted to have them on your lane that was an option.  The bar has been updated as well.  The bathrooms were clean also.

    The only mishap was when we were closing the bill out with Lolo.  This was resolved promptly and we were on our way.  Suzy immediately followed up early Monday morning with an apology for the mishap and feedback was given on the event.

    All in all a great experience and I would highly recommend Rancho Bowl for company or personal events.  We would like to make this a annual event and would definitely go back to Rancho Bowl.

    Thank you to a great crew.  We have received only positive feedback from those who attended.   Keep up the great work Rancho Bowl.

    Thanks Rancho Bowl for making our end-of-the-year field trip a success. Your staff was extremely kind and the food was just being pumped out at such a rapid rate. I think you guys have the best fries in all of Santa Maria.  Thanks for giving me a trash bag so I can do a little bit of cleanup to make it easier on you guys - - all in all I think our fifth graders did a nice job being responsible.

    We like to come to Rancho over the holidays w/ family and close friends. We arrive early before the crowds, start w/ cocktails, and proceed to display some pretty sorry bowling skills -- all the while having a great time!

    The lounge is outstanding, and they give an excellent pour!! Drink prices are reasonable, too.  The grill serves up some really good chow, the chicken strips being a family favorite. Lastly, the facility is very clean and staff are always friendly.

    We'll probably never become bowling regulars, but we always have fun on our annual visit to Rancho Bowl!!

    Cheers!
    RS

    The remodel has made this place very cool! The arcade is an attraction itself, but the lanes are clean, smooth, and always inviting. The cafe is underrated, try the jalapeño popper wontons! Full bar area, and great bowling specials all week. We love the all you can bowl Wednesday nights after 5pm for $12! Check this place out, you're welcome.
