It's my 700th review! High fives to all! Confetti dropping! Ahem...For my 700th review, I wanted it…read moreto be special. I decided to save it for a review of my favorite restaurant since moving to the area from Miami, Florida: Willow Bend Country Club. I first came to Willow Bend for lunch in December when I first traveled to Van Wert. I ate lunch with people from the company during the interview/recruitment process and I was impressed by the service and the delicious food. The fact that I got a social membership as part of my joining the company was a perk and certainly a reason why I started working for the company I am in now. I easily could have seen myself coming here to eat... place is nice... classy, and again the food is delicious! I have come a few times since then, leaving it as a place for special occasions including for when I found out I got the house I am currently living at. The waitresses and bar tenders are always friendly. Just love this place. I have eaten various items on this menu, I will focus on my favorites that I've had: 1) Asian Boneless Wings. I love wings, it's one of my favorite things to eat... but I am not a fan of boneless wings. I am a traditionalist and a bit of a snob when it comes to this. These wings, though, I will make an exception for my dislike of boneless wings. These wings which are breaded and covered in a sweet and spicy hoisin oriental sauce... is perfect. It expertly blends spicy and sweet so much, I don't care if they are boneless. 2) Baked Potato Soup. I love this kind of soup, and this is one of the better versions I've had. Especially good during a cold day! 3) Peach-Apple Glazed Pork Chop Ribeye. Another exception to my normal rules of food. I like pork chops with bone... I had boneless. These chops are so juicy... it doesn't matter! It's a bit sweet... almost too sweet for my taste but it just straddles that line... I could eat this over and over 4) 12 oz. Texas Ribeye. This is a big steak! It's a delicious, hearty-cut ribeye with a dried pepper and coffee rub seasoning, char-grilled to perfection... i normally can't finish a 12 oz... I did when I came here! I just couldn't put down my fork! Honorable mention: bread... allegedly made out of veggies? Waiter and manager didn't know which... still that's pretty good... and the bread was warm and soft... and with some butter.... mmmmm! I also feel I should mention that yes there is a golf course attached to this... haven't played and don't know how so I can't opine on that. Moreover, they do have events. I haven't been to one but I may attend the next one since they are bringing a comic... surf and turf dinner included in price. Willow Bend therefore is a great place to both eat and have some fun! I am super happy I am a member of such a wonderful country club! Never saw myself ever becoming a country club guy... but life has a way of surprising you! If you are in the area, join!

Amazing food, great staff, and cozy atmosphere. My suggestions would be to promote outdoor seating…read moremore, have a less formal/stuffy atmosphere in the "lounge" area, and open it up to the public (at least partially)!!!

I've been wanting to go to Olympic Lanes ever since I moved to Van Wert a few years ago, but…read morethings/life always got in the way. I was able to rectify this late last year when my boss and I were planning a department work event. My coworkers live/work across the country, and the man office is in Van Wert. Every year we do a week of meetings here, and have events afterwards. My boss had the idea to try out Olympic Lanes and have a bowling event, he asked me to go talk to management, get some quotes and check the place out. I liked what I saw. The staff was friendly, the bowling alley was in great shape and it had a very nice and well stocked bar area. I spoke with the owner and she made it so easy to set up this event and for a great price. We got two games on two lanes, drinks, pizza, wings. The night of the event, we all started with having some drinks at the bar, while waiting for everyone to get in. We then had a fun night of bowling, talking, drinking, laughing and catching up with each other in person. I have to thank the staff of Olympic Lanes for making this happen. I have since returned to have some drinks here because the bar is well stocked, service is great, prices are reasonable, food is good. I love this place! If you are in the area and: 1) Want to have a drink at a friendly neighborhood bar 2) Want good pizza, wings and other bar food 3) Want to have some fun bowling with friends or family 4) Have an entertaining corporate/company event with no stress Then you should definitely come to Olympic Lanes!

it is not good because balls get stuck every time you bowl and it sucks but the cheese pizza is goodread more

I discovered this hidden gem and was excited to be able to do the pumpkin patches again with my kids. They have a large and small pumpkin patch that both my kids loved doing, fun, commentated wagon ride, smore making down by the river, great deal on pumpkins from the patch, putt putt, food truck, goats, and tons more activities. I also added the round trip kayaking which topped it off. The family was very involved and engaged with the visitors and super sweet. You can tell they truly enjoy sharing their farm with the community and seeing the happiness on faces. Now that I know about this place and all they offer, more trips are in store and can't wait to see what they add next year.

The river lends itself to those who want to take it easy or to those who want to do a quick trip down it. The scenery is beautiful; we have even seen an eagle on two of our trips!! And the sounds of nature are all around. I love that the company drives you up river and puts you in so that you never have to row against the current. And for those who wonder, the kayaks are ocean kayaks, which means it is hard to flip them....even if you try!!!
