I have been to the restaurant three times . They have a pizza special Tuesday and Thursday, 6" 2-topping pizza, a salad and a drink for$9.49. They're is an ATM in the main room next to the lottery machine. Charge is $3.00. I've had a couple of minor hiccups, not with saying more than that about. Both were dealt with satisfactorily. This place is blocks from my house, the staff is courteous, the place is clean and the food is good(the pizza and salad at least). I'll be back.
Absolutely so happy I found this place! Its about 35 minutes from us but so worth the drive!! I have been taking my son and daughter a few times a month now, the staff is so friendly and welcoming. They are always so kind to me and my kiddos . The deals they run are unbeatable, & it's worth the drive fosure , food is really good and priced affordable. Today they hosted a free event for one of the local doctors, open to the public , free bowling, games, foods, prizes, etc. It was the BEST mothers day weeke
We had an amazing pizza and wings. The kitchen staff was amazing and very helpful. We also bowled for a hour. The atmosphere was wonderful and the new remodel they done was nice. Overall a good experience just wish it was more affordable.
We had allot of fun, they have a really big arcade that expands an entire side of the bowling alley as well as ax throwing virtual reality bowling of course, and a private restaurant that you can also eat at and a snack bar that has delicious pizza and fried food. The only complaint we had was that they took a little longer than necessary on the food at the snack bar, but there were a lot of people and they had quite a bit of orders coming in so we don't entirely blame them for that!!! This is a great famil
I eat here on Friday mornings with my friends. Sherry our server treats us like family and always gives amazing service. The breakfast menu is not massive but the food is really good for a reasonable price. This is a good stop for food and just not for bowling
Prices for bowling are generally good. Employees are friendly and helpful. Plenty of room in the building. I just wish their computer equipment was more modern.
This place is absolutely amazing and so fun! We took our very large group of disabled individuals here, and they had a blast! The staff there was amazing and extremely helpful.
Very big and nice place. Great lanes, amazing staff. I went for a bachelor party and we all had a blast. There is something there for everyone.
Lots of technical issues in every area of the place. Certain lanes work, other lanes skip turns even after changing lanes or they don't count the pins correctly. They finally got the bumper cars working supposedly. Food prices are not updated in the menu, but the Califlower Crust pizza, regular pizza, and snacks are amazing!
Ordered their food and decided to get the Westgate special which says it's supposed to have mozzarella pizza sauce and mushroom. What I got was a burger with just bacon which wasn't even supposed to be on it.
Ok place, half the stuff was broke when I went. Here is a tip tho "make sure you make a reservation" if you just show up hoping to bowl they will shit all over your plans so it's best to call ahead
We always have a great time here. They're alway changing things up and keeping it fresh. Between the arcade and the Axe throwing we always enjoy ourselves. The food is really good too!
Very good breakfast food, extended mens meeting in group setting. Staff was great. Clean, quiet, great service. Reasonable cost for the room.
Good food, a little over priced but still pretty good, after dinner we went to the bar for a couple more drinks and the bartenders were extremely rude, giving dirty looks and a clearly acting impatient when we were trying to order, kicked us out before they actually closed as well that part I didn't mind but their tone was very condescending about it. Also they made my drink at the bar with so little alcohol I couldn't taste it but when I tried my friends who ordered the same thing hers was perfect 1:1 rat
We had a great time there. Unfortunately the second time going back there were many games out of order. One of the basketball machines wasn't calculating points properly to have an even match.
My friends, family, and I had the best time celebrating NYE at Westgate! Plan on making this our NYE tradition??
Our hostess was great, the kids & adults all have plenty to entertain you. Food was excellent & the bar was a good experience. All the employees were friendly & helpful. Great experience
Ordered the 10" build your own pizza and scheduled for later delivery (thru Doordash) Our family has been going to Westgate for over 30 yrs, and this is the first time I've ever had a problem with food from there. When I received pizza it was cold. Almost like it was prepared too early and sat around. I still have 4 stars only because this was the first time this happened. Bit of disappointment.
Went to the restaurant and waited At least 15 mins for a hostess to seat us while workers looked right at us and just walked on by or played in their phones. Had to ask stop our waitress to ask for refills, our bill, and boxes. Also watched another couple come in that stoped a worker and asked if they had a hostess because they had been standing there for well over 10 mins without being helped while workers again played on their phones! Wow.. posted are two pictures of 2 different workers while we were ther
Very nice people and westgate is so clean. The alleys are great. The staff is awesome. The servers in the lounge is supper nice, and the food is great.
There's lots to do. Service was prompt and friendly.
Very nice bowling alley. I haven't actually bowled here yet, but soon will do a girl's night out with coworkers
Stopped by for lunch. 1st time in years. Service was good, food was good. Prices were good. Will put on the list for future visits
We are consistently able to get in and bowl. Place is usually clean even though it's busy this time they had a coupon, which was greatly appreciated. Employees usually seem stressed out and not very friendly, even though it seems to be different employees every time. That could be a stressful job, with customer service so I understand to a point. Overall usually a positive experience every time I've been here
I go here frequently to celebrate birthdays with my students. We really enjoy the atmosphere, friendly employees, and entertainment. We love the bowling and arcade, but we don't recommend the food because it's very expensive and not very good.
Great employees ... good place to bring the family an have a good time
The bartender is very nice. They're always polite. The service is very quality. they're very fast on the service the snack bar people are very friendly. It looks nicer and cleaner with a new remodeling.
Their pizza is great, cheesy and perfectly cooked, but it's expensive
Very good food and bowling experience I enjoyed the food very much. Anyone who is wondering about going there get the cowboy burger or the chicken basket they are amazing
The place was pretty busy but we played arcade games while we waited for a lane. We had fun and the kids loved the bumper cars!
Called 4 times to place an order and was put on hold 2 times i waited on hold for at least 10 minutes the other 2 times I was hung up on smh never got a order placed
It was nice place to have my grandaughter birthday party but slow service need more employee
Good pizza, clean bowling alley. We had a good time
My boys and I have so much fun here
That place was awesome and the food was amazing try the cheeseburgers
Had my grandson's birthday party our hostess was great! The kids had so much fun.
Good afternoon!! I wanted to let you know how pleased we were with the service and food that we received on Saturday night. We highly recommend the Nacho bar and pizza!! It was a definite hit!! Everyone had a wonderful time. The food was delicious and the service could not have been any better. Paige was an absolute doll to work with and could not have been a better hostess!! We will definitely recommend Westgate to all for their events. ?? Thank you so much for everything!!
Always a great friendly staff and great prices to bring the whole family and friends!! Westgate is a Staple in our Lima Ohio!!
Lunch and service were very good
Looks clean.... pizza ?? is pretty decent. Full arcade. Lots of parking.
Wow! This place was absolutely amazing! Before anything though give Zach a raise! This guy was by far one of the best people I've met. He was being so nice to me and my siblings. He was joking around with us when we went on the bumper cars. When My father, my brother, and I went to go to the VR my headset wasn't working and he joked around with me as he was trying to connect my headset back on. He was just a really cool guy, I personally think he deserves some more money for how nice he was being. Now let's
Great place to bowl and have family time
Birthday Party for 4 year old niece it was a nice place for a birthday party. I would recommend it to you all. Go check it out! Have some fun and roll a ball down the lane.
We love it! Our daughters bowled there when they were in elementary school. Over the many years now the owners have done an excellent job at turning it into an entertainment center for all ages. We now are taking our grandkids and they love the bumper cars and the games they have added. You will not be disappointed. The food is great especially the pizzas! The staff is very friendly.
Sat in bar area to order take out. Service was OK. At shift change the other bartender didn't even ask if we needed anything. My husband had an empty beer and she wouldn't even look our way. We tried to get her attention too. Sadly our pizza wasn't as good this time either. We're chalking it up to just an "off" night, because their pizza is on point normally. Will definitely go back, just not anytime soon.
We had our company Christmas party here and everyone had a fantastic time. Everyone loved bowling and axe throwing and the food was outstanding! Our hostess, Paige, also did an excellent job. I would recommend Westgate to anyone looking to host a party.
Bowled a couple games and had a couple cocktails. The guy who checked is in & got our shoes was really good. The bartender was not my favorite. She seemed annoyed to have to make our drinks. It's an older bowling alley but we enjoyed it. Great music. Lots of video games of all kinds.
There's a broken board that pinched my son's finger between lanes 19 and 20.
ORDERED PIZZA AT 6:42 location told me it was going to be 20 minutes untill pick up on pizza i get to location pay for my pizza and sit and wait after 20 minutes of waiting i go back up to the desk and she says unfortunately they don't have your pizza back there they can't find a ticket for the order?. im kinda confused on how you have my order to ring me out but not in the kitchen also they gave me a 10 gift card lmaooo im not looking for a hand out but that didn't even cover the price of the pizza that im
Absolutely amazing food!! Would never guess a bowling alley would have such good food outside of pizza! Can't express enough how good the food was. And it's a nice alley as well. They have an amazing arcade that's fun even as an adult. The virtual reality is a must try!! They even have bumper cars! Everything is nice priced as well. Take a 100 bucks and feast, and have hours of fun. Makes a very memorable night! I've been in lima all my life, never really went in there till recently and can't believe I've b
Ordered off the children's menu. Was plenty of food for me, as an adult. Very tasty! Good service, too!
Great food good service. The bowling alley is really nice and plenty for kids to do
Fun games and the atmosphere is nice. The pizza is pretty good and bowling is always a good thing to do with family or friends. Prices are a little higher but not too bad.
Great atmosphere, fantastic food, and top-notch employees. This very clean entertainment venue is great for birthday parties, graduations, and after prom events. Bowling, arcade, climbing wall, ax throwing, virtual reality, and even bumper cars can be experienced here. There is fun for everyone!
Can't make a great eval, because went as a work function. But had fun throwing axes around, virtual reality was fun, and I got a turkey on the 10th frame. I've never scored 2 strikes in a row, so that was pretty cool. All in all, had fun.
It just was uncomfortable and awkward due to all the lanes being reserved, which in their defense is my bad for being unaware that they do this every week?.. but then I had to follow my kid around the arcade area because there was no obvious place to sit as a result.
Went for the first time with some new friends and I have to say it was a blast..all we did was bowl which was fun and had been years since we had ..they also had an arcade and even axe throwing . Looking forward to going back
We went there on a Sunday afternoon. For bowling pizza and pop...great bargain. Disappointed that the ticket Booth was closed for my little one. All in all its pretty good entertainment place.
Daughter was there for a birthday party and I sat in the lounge to eat. The pizza sub was very good but it wasn't as thick as usual. The sweet potato fries were on point - possibly the best I've had. Service was as one should expect.
Last time I ordered a salad ?? I got sick as ever. However, with new staff and cleanliness, it has gotten way better. I tried it today. The service was impeccable and the pizza ?? was amazing. And I hate the pizza style in Lima but the bowling alley makes me a believer ??
We hadn't been since the remodel and what a great experience we had!! We only used the arcade but played a ton of games for reasonable prices, were able to win a lot of tickets and picked out some great and different prizes. The place was clean and everything was easy to understand and use.
I went to my Grandson's Birthday party. The bone-in wings were cooked really hard. Hard enough to tear the inside of anyone's mouth up. I know to get the breaded wings next time. The cheese pizza he had kind of turned my stomach. I like pizza with substances i.e. meat and vegetables
We had so much fun. Best bumper cars ever. We went to eat and bowl, but had so much fun in the arcade we wore ourselves out. Haven't been there in about 20 years. We use to come and eat years ago , but sort of forgot about it. Definitely will be coming back soon.
This is the bowling alley that I grew up at. To this day, it is still better than any AMF or Brunswick alley I have walked into during any of my bowling tours. There is something very special about Westgate. Very good food; Westgate is as famous for their pizza as they are for the venue experience. They also have other food such as loaded fries, burgers and other options. Has Axe Throwing and has an arcade for more activities other than bowling. There is a bar inside with a wide selection of drinks.
Great food and a fun time
Went in on Saturday to bowl told over the phone that it's first come first served and they wouldn't take reservations. Showed up and asked for 2 lanes party of 11 and it was busy so 30-45 minute wait. Gave my name and went to the bar and got drinks. Over an hour later we got antsy and were ready to give up on the wait. Went to the desk to see how much longer it would be and they told me that I canceled my request 45 minutes ago. They offered to put me on the list again but instead just went home. Defin
Group of friends went and experienced axe throwing was the 1st time for the 4 of us. Was able to order pizza and beer. We will definitely going again.
Absolutely love this place! Axe throwing is a must, food is so yummy hands down best pizza in Lima!! Family owned.. feel so welcoming every time I walk in..
Love the food and staff every time I go I always have such an amazing time
Busy night for bowling. But the restaurant was not full yet. Singo would start soon and it gradually began to fill. Food was great. But the waitress, who handled the bar and the bowlers was on her game and made for a very pleasant experience.
I'm sharing this review before we have ordered only due to the horrible service. We waited to be seated while to host served coffee first, then when finally seated, sat a dirty table. To top it off so far, our waitress had to told we were ready. Highly disappointed this far. Hope the food is better than the service.
We went on a Friday night around 7 with a large group of friends and family. We waited an hour to get two lanes that were beside each other. While waiting we ordered pizza, drinks and appetizers in the lounge. The food was great and the drinks were reasonably priced. We had two small children and a baby with us. The service was friendly and they were very accommodating. We ended up getting our lanes before all of our food was ready and the waitress brought our food out to the tables by our lane. Besides the
Was not happy because we paid for 2hrs of bowling and close to 45 minutes of that was trying to get someone to go and fix the gate that comes down in front of pins over and over again. They could of at least done an adjustment on our time or refunded some of our money. Food was ok but workers were rude. Don't know if I would return.
Great scenery atmosphere good food and they have a high volume of business, area that lacks recognition is the pay for the cooks that's crazy 14 to start at with experience ?? one can make more at a fast food restaurant...
Our event that we held at Westgate Entertainment Center was a wonderful experience. Jaiden and Jazmine were very attentive and on top of everything. They were very informative and kind. It always makes the event so much more enjoyable and less stressful when you are able to work with amazing people. Your team was absolutely wonderful to work with, and I look forward to working with you again in the future.
I hadn't been here in several years & on Saturday (3/30), we celebrated my 14 year old daughter's birthday. We had a good time & the food was great. Our only problem was that we came in town to celebrate with family & to redeem a coupon for 2 hrs of bowling, that was won in a raffle, & because they had so many reservations & were busy, we were given the option to bowl for an hour or not bowl at all that day. We'd called a couple of days before & were told a reservation wasn't required for this coupon. If it
The best pizza hands down in Lima! Love a good West gate night, I hadn't been in a few years but on a whim went when I was in town visiting family. My dad and I had so much fun and I remembered all the good times I had as a kid during thunder alley. The beer is good, food is great and the entertainment even better. Good place for a family night, and even better for parties.
Great to see the improvements over the years. I gave it a 2 star because one on the lanes was taking small chunks out of my ball. Storm IQ :( it was sad..
The manager was great. Even made arrangements so kids could bowl two hours instead of just one. They even let my group test out the new vertual game for free. Workers were new so service on food and drinks was slow but understandable. Food and drinks are very pricey but food was great!
Our company had a team building event at Westgate and played their Corporate Olympics! It was so fun, well organized, and ran smoothly! Jaiden and the facilitators were awesome to work with! Would definitely recommend to others companies looking for a team building event!
Great experience. They are continually upgrading the arcade and they have great pizza and chicken chunks. Family oriented place ro have a good time. They do have a bar and you can rent a dining area for bigger parties
We had a blast. Best part you just don't throw at a bullseye. They have several different games you can play. Bullseye, zombies, and so on. We loved playing connect 4. Employees are great and very helpful
Our staff enjoyed the ax throwing. Great area, well appointed and great addition to the fun available at Westgate. Owners are super friendly and invested in their customers having a great time with yummy food too!!
It is a great place to bowl. Super fun. Just to rub it in my friend lost.
The chicken tenders are fantastic as they use an awesome breading and they are fried fast and hot to sear them into being juicy and fresh. Some Honey Mustard alongside or whatever your choice may be, and a Moeller Brew Barn Red lager. Wonderful!
Pizza was great! We have come to Westgate since we were both( my wife and I ) kids. The place has changed over the years, but the family entertainment value is pretty awesome!!!
Had lots of fun with family and friends, I recommend you guys go to this place! Overall a great experience! People selling food was nice. Food was very fast, great service ??. They have games like chuck cheese kinda. You can buy different things with your points from the games. Also some video games to play too. Very recommended I promise you will love this place.
The place itself is great... But the hostesses need better training..it's a shame. The party ppl have to inform hostesses of things on the bday package..especially since you pass it out n cups..that or they didn't care about the job..either way needs improvement BAAADDD.. But great place 2 have a party fa kids..especially bumper cars ?? ??
It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.
Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.
Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.
Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.
Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.
Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.
Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.
No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
Yes, virtual reality (VR) games in arcades are a top attraction in 2025! Titles like Beat Saber and Half-Life: Alyx deliver immersive thrills with cutting-edge headsets, motion tracking, and responsive controllers. High-resolution displays and spatial audio create heart-pounding experiences, from slashing rhythms to battling zombies. Arcades feature multiplayer VR zones and tournaments, fostering lively communities. VR booths are regularly packed, proving their captivating, next-level gameplay makes them a must-try arcade experience.
Arcade prize games are a thrilling highlight in 2025! Claw machines, skee-ball, and ticket-redemption games like basketball offer a rush of skill and chance, with rewards like plushies, toys, or electronics up for grabs. Modern machines feature vibrant lights, digital scoreboards, and responsive controls, amplifying the fun. The lively arcade atmosphere, with cheering crowds and buzzing energy, makes every win feel epic.
