Press Release dated September 27, 2007

        BOWL AMERICA REPORTS IMPROVED FISCAL YEAR EARNINGS

Bowl America Incorporated today reported earnings per share for its fiscal
year ended July 1, 2007, increased to $.82 from $.71 in the prior year.
Fourth quarter earnings per share were $.14, up from $.12 in the comparable
quarter last year.

The February 2007 closing of a location for roof repairs impacted earnings in
the second half of the fiscal year, and as the repairs are currently in
progress, will continue to affect the first quarter of fiscal 2008.  The bowling
business is seasonally weak in the summer months.  Additionally, since June
there has been an above normal reduction in traffic which we attribute to the
uncertain economic conditions that can influence customers' spending habits.

A more detailed explanation of results is available in the Company's S.E.C.
Form 10-K filing available through the website www.bowlamericainc.com.

The Board of Directors declared a quarterly $.145 dividend today and unless
circumstances change, this will be the 36th consecutive year of increased
per share dividends.  Bowl America operates 19 bowling centers and its stock
trades on the American Stock Exchange with the symbol BWLA.
