Woody's used to be so great, but since Bowlero bought them it's gone down hill. The menu changed drastically, the service is ridiculously slow, and the atmosphere is no longer that "small sports bar" feel. We got moved after 20 minutes of sitting in the section we always sit, because it was closed (no signage or anything). Then it took another 40 minutes for our food to come. read more

1. Took 30 minutes to get out drinks 2. Over an hour to get my food. 3. Took at least 20 minutes waiting for our bills 4. Bills were messed up. 5. Over paid for both my drink and food. Asked manager to fix this and said she took off the extra food but left some change. Would not recommend. read more

I Stopped by Woody's Press box for a drink and a Ceasar Salad. They have expanded their facilities and upgraded other rooms. When I was there, I sat next to Mario, from Texas, who came in to train all their employees. I was very impressed with what they are doing to become a first-class, all-inclusive event and entertainment center. Bowling is king, with three areas with different looks. I love the warm and comfortable feel of all of the mixed venues. Parking is more than adequate. Shout out to Chelsea, the bartender, who managed the restaurant with a smile and first-class service. I'm looking forward to seeing their progress and will be back again. read more

I was at Woodys on 8/20/2025, with my friends. Our waiter was fabulous . all but two were served with the rest of us, did not look busy, but remembered that there is also bowling. Shrimp tacos were finally served. Both parties remarked that the shrimp was bad. they informed our waiter and he said he would tell the manager and asked both parties what else they would like. Then, as the manager was walking past our table the manager yelled out "The shrimp is fresh, we just got it this morning'. " Not only was she rude, what a terrible way to handle this. I contacted Corporate, still waiting to hear from them. What is wrong with her? I feel she definitely needs proper training. read more

Went there Thursday about 5pm. The parking lot looked empty and when we went in the restaurant only about a dozen people l. No trouble finding a place. V I was there with 2 grandsons and my bride. We hadn't been there since last fall when the new owner took over. We went to order the pizza special but the new owner did away with it. We usually order pizza with black olives. Nope not available. The grandson order soft drink but I was charged $4 a drink my PBRs were only 3. Grandson ordered $15 berger with an up charge for fry. But the fry helping were small. Needless to say we won't be going back. And now I know why the place was empty. read more

Came here with friends and their kids to go bowling. We went on the regular side since the VIP side was reserved for a special party. The lanes were packed on a Sunday Afternoon, but we got lucky and were able to snag a lane for the kids to play. There were two empty lanes beside us, but we were told that we couldn't rent them since they were reserved. We decided to order some food while the kids played. We got the spicy and regular chicken bites, mozzarella sticks, French fries, nachos, pizza, and loaded tots. We were extremely excited for the chicken bites, but they weren't as good as we remembered. The chicken was dry and we didn't taste a difference between the regular and spicy bites. The nachos were also extremely salty. Everything else tasted just okay; we all agreed that their food was better pre-pandemic During the two hours that we were there, the two lanes next to us stayed empty. I'm not sure how long they hold their reservations for, but it seems like they could have fit a lot more patrons in. read more

We had breakfast at Woodys this morning. In all honesty, I can barely give it a 1 rating. Our food was terrible, the service was extremely slow! One person at the table didn't get their food until everyone was pretty much done eating! The pancakes were rubbery, the meat was overcooked and dry. Don't waste your time or money! Our waitress was nice, and they did take the late meal off the bill, as they should have! Will Never go back!! read more

Cameron our server was great! 5 stars! I'd come back again anytime. Food was super yummy as well! Cam is the real star.

My mom and I came in here last week for a quick bite. To start, every booth was covered in crumbs. The server took forever to get our order and it took nearly another 40 minutes for the food to arrive. It was just chicken bites and some fries. The chicken was disgusting. Hard and gristly. One piece looked pink on the inside , though that may have been the lighting. On top of all that there was a hair in our ranch dressing. The manager came over and seemed put off by our complaint. She decided that a couple of bowling coupons would be enough. This was a pretty bad experience and I would recommend to anyone to steer clear of Woody's. read more

LUNCH BUFFET MUST BE BROUGHT BACK!!! It was the best in town and should return immediately

I have been here two times for drinks after a group meeting - so this is strictly a review on the bar. I had never been to Woody's and my first visit was after their remodel - I must say it is a very pretty space! Large space, very open and a good amount of seating. They would have a lot more if they put tables in the middle, but it's kind of nice and uncluttered as is. Not super loud, pretty low key actually. They have a large liquor selection, a decent amount of drafts, and an okay bottle/ can list. They seem to keep seasonal drafts but some that are all year - they standard. We have only ordered appetizers before, but they were really good. Service has always been quick and very nice. This place is pretty huge - bowling alley, casino area, private event space etc. I haven't seen it in its entirety! The restaurant portion looks very nice and has also been redone. Really pretty renovations! Bathrooms are large and clean. All in all I'm always happy to swing in for a drink but would be interested to stay for dinner! read more

What a great place! I was just there will some co-workers and staff and we were well taken care of all night! We enjoyed the VIP bowling area and had such a great time! Angie the manager helped to make the birthday people feel special! What a great place to hang out! read more

Natalie rocks. Best service I've had in a while. Love her. And she's cute sweet and fun. Makes me happy

With the new owner costumer service was thrown out the window. I was going to prebowl for one of the leagues and they would not let us due to other people there. but truthfully they had open lanes but didn't want to give us a lane like we don't pay for the league. read more

My wife and I were there on 12-16-23. We had good service and the food and drinks were good. But when we left walking to our car there were groups of people in the parking lot that made us feel uncomfortable. Then there was a very strong odor of marijuana. Not sure if we will be back! read more

Food was average for a bowling bar, but service was very slow. Came here on a Saturday night for bowling at 8pm but leagues were taking place so it open bowling didn't start until 9pm. We decided to get some food to fill up the wait time. Our group ordered the Woody's monster Reuben, Woody's big porker, and chicken strips. Chicken was a little dry. BBQ pulled pork within the sandwich was a bit bland -- the quality of meat seemed like what you what get at a bowling alley and the BBQ sauce was very mild. No interesting flavors here (There was also one piece of non-pulled pork that took up 1/4 of the sandwich) . The Reuben tasted good ~ the corned beef were on the larger side and the 1000 island dressing served on the side so you can add as much/little as you prefer. Only complaint there is that "monster" should be removed as it was the size of a normal sandwich. Service: Sat down and got our menus right away. Took about 5-10 minutes to order, and 20-30 minutes for the food to come out. Still not bad... but then trying to cash out was a pain. The entire process took 30+ minutes from asking for the check, receiving, paying and getting our cards back. Note that the place is under renovation currently which may or may not explain some of the delays of service... but will stick with bowling for now, perhaps try the resteraunt again after renovations are finished. read more

Huge place! Good food, fairly nice ambiance. It's part of the bowling alley. The service was okay. For a Saturday afternoon, they were busy. But everything was good. I'd go back. read more

Service is a little slow but food is really good. Has bowling,live music, and large banquet rooms.

Consistent good food. Prices are reasonable and service is spot on. We had the philly steak and cheese sandwich. It had big chunks on onion and peppers. I do not believe they believe in portion control. The sucker was HUGE! Try the onion straws. They are terrific read more

After prom, My group all went to woodys to bowl and eat. We shared a table with another bowler whom had beer. As underage children, immediately assumed we were drinking underage. As of we weren't, after further argument the story had continuously had changed and ended up getting kicked out after spending $145 for no reason. Will not recommend to go there if underage, will immediately be assumed to be drinking and kicked out, with lack of refund read more

Was told "simulator is all set up and ready for you". The place is trashed and clearly not taken care of in between people. Most equipment is missing or broken. Terrible service and maintenance. Complete waste of money. Nothing was "ready" for us. We had to set up everything ourself and use our own equipment. For the record, we bowled and did other things (3hrs worth of stuff) and the simulator was empty the entire time so it's not like they were too busy to take care of it or clean it properly. read more

I get it....it's a bar at a bowling alley. You would think you would be able to get a good burger, fries and chicken tenders....not the case. First batch of fries were cold, second batch were not cooked all then way. First order of chicken not cooked well and the second batch were soaked in grease on the plate/basket. The chicken bites were tough. But my friend said her burger was good. At the end the server said she would take off the fries that we were unable to eat. But had to call the manager about the chicken. So then a guy walks up to the table (no introduction) and says "so what was wrong with the chicken ?" Guessing he was the manager as he never said...explained the chicken and he said he would take it off the bill. Then the staff seemed to have a bit of an attitude. Don't get made at the customer, take that up with the kitchen... They don't have to worry about me eating there anymore..... read more

This is a restaurant attached to a bowling alley. Don't expect it to be amazing, but for what it is it's not bad. I'm laughing at the reviews that are so mad about how bad it was, but what can you really expect? The lunch buffet is about $8 and has a good variety and spread. My grandma always finds buy one get one coupons as well, which makes it even cheaper. There is a salad bar, pizza, soup, taco bar, and a bunch of random other dishes (meatloaf, mashed potatoes, lasagna, turkey club) and desserts. They have founders on tap and not a bad selection of beer, which is impressive. I wouldn't recommend this place, but it's a fine place to get lunch before or after bowling. read more

DEPLORABLE service!! Last Saturday I went with a group to Woodys for a birthday party. After a half hour of waiting (and people going up to the bar to get their own drinks), we had to ask for a server to be assigned to our table. After he took our orders, it was then over an hour until we started receiving any food. Didn't check on us or offer drinks. When our server delivered our checks for our 8PM bowling time, and we realized that he hadn't put in my pizza order. He apologized and offered to bring it to me while we were bowling. Having worked in the service industry, I totally understand how crazy it can be on a busy night. I waited. Another 45 minutes passed, so I decided to go ask about it. He told me that it would be another 15-20 and I went back to my lane. After another half hour, still hungry, my boyfriend and I left. I wish I could give this place zero stars. It's so unfortunate, I used to enjoy bowling here ten years ago but after this I will never go back. read more

Ordered a large pizza, least I can say is to me, it was borderline inedible. It had a frozen kind of taste to it and kinda looked unlike a gourmet pizza should look. The thick sliced pepperoni was not ideal either. Reminded me of school pizza. read more

Woody's Press Box - American Near Me - Wyoming, Michigan

I came here with a few friends tonight. The host told us to take a seat anywhere so we did. 20 minutes past and no acknowledgment from any staff members. Whatever, I understand everyone is understaffed right now. We go get our own drinks from the bar. Server walks by our table many times to serve other customers and cleaning tables. Still no acknowledgement. A simple "hey we're short staffed right now. We'll get to you when we can" would have been fine. We end up sitting at our table for 45 minutes without any service and left. We were also the only non white group. I hope that wasn't the reason but it seemed everyone else was getting served. read more

I came in with as a party of 6 and a baby and we sat at the big table by the Arcade and bar. we got our menus and waited about 20 minutes for someone to wait on us but got no service so we asked when we'd be waited on and they said soon, waited another 10 minutes and no service so we moved up by the entrance where we seen more service.. little did we know that wouldn't be the case for us. We already knew what we wanted to order at that point and let a server know who all was in our party and we were ready for our drinks and food she said " it'll be a sec ". We were then ignored by the servers for about another 30 minutes still no drinks, my baby was crying for water so we let them know it was ridiculous that we have been here over an hour with no service and people came in way after us and received their drinks AND food and got another "just a sec" and we were ready to leave at this point. I couldn't help but noticed we were the only family of minority race and kept getting dirty looks from some of the servers and some would just stand around in the empty party room and haven't been this uncomfortable and frustrated at a restaurant in a while so right as we were ready to get up and go we had a young polite black male server come and said he just clocked in and heard they been giving us the run around and constantly apologized and took down our drinks and meals. We then got our drinks within two minutes and food within 15 minutes and service with him was great! If i could give this place 0 stars I would but I guess the 1 star is for the one star waiter you have. Great kid, bad place to dine at read more

I went to the restaurant with 3 of my other friends, the host said we can sat anywhere. So we did, sat down. Waited 30mins no one came and serve us, it was not busy at all. So we give them the benefit of doubt and we to the bar and order some beer. And waited another 15mins, no one came. A waittress literally walk past us atleast 15 times. Did not ask us or even looks at us. She avoided us for 45mins, if you are the people of color dont go here. Im sure that was racist, she serves everyone but us. read more

My friends and I sat down for 40 minutes and the server paid no attention to us. We had to order our drinks from the bar. There was only 3 tables and the server would rather clean the tables than come say hi to us. She would walk past us and would not even look at us. I really hope the server is not racist, but it's hard not to think so because We're the only ethnics there. read more

Went in for the "half-priced" Mexican on the recommendation of a "friend". Was never told that the prices on the menu were already "half-priced"! As if...someone...would (ha!)...pay Woody's $15 for their grease-soaked burrito & spoiled salsa!! Run. read more

Woody's despite having 2 large groups worked hard to work in my daughter's softball team. Additionally the food and service was amazing.

Great place to go with the family or just the boys! Get the wet fried chicken bites, incredible

Let's talk about Woody's at 7 am when some us are getting out of work. The liquor and beer options and prices are standard. The have really solid breakfast options for a decent price. I go with coworkers and we have a good time everytime! The staff are super friendly, the only negative is on some days you catch a large amount of seasoned gentleman that tend to be a little higher maintenance and tend to grow roots while they're sitting there drinking coffee for hours. From what I've personally observed you might have better luck trying to get a canoe to tip before one of these guys actually takes care of the staff that they think are their personal servants. Definitely worth the price of admission. Keno is also up and running in the morning. read more

Stopped in here with some coworkers after a work party to chill and have a few drinks around 11pm. The place was pretty packed but we were able to get a table. We had some mozzarella sticks and spinach dip, both decent bar food. Prices were half off on a Saturday night too which was awesome. Happy they had Angry Orchard on tap too!! Service wasn't the best, took awhile to get food & drink but not unexpected for a bust Saturday night! read more

We waiting 30mins for a waitress then finally left.. severs of them were walking around and the manager stood watching and never offered to help either.. my 1st visit and my last.. read more

The food is very good!! Only if you have ample time to wait for attention from the server and for your order to come up. We have been here three times and had the same problems every time. Today was particularly ridiculous. We got a table in the dining room at 6:03pm. Had no server or menus at 6:13. We had to get our own menus and ask for service. It took an hour to get our meal, but our son's food never came. Finally at 7:52 he got chicken tenders. Unbelievable. The manager laughed when I told her what happened and never visited our table or followed up. Our server was very kind and gracious. There is no leadership here and no process for the dining room. You seat yourself so no host tells a server when the table is seated like in every other restaurant in America. That's the first problem. From there it goes terribly down hill. Too bad because they could have a nice dining room business here. They certainly put the FU in fundamentals. read more

First time here tonight and won't be returning. Extremely slow and poor service. Took nearly 45 minutes to get our first drink and appetizer, and another 45 for the wait staff to return to our table again. read more

We were excited to go out for dinner for the first time in a long time but it was subpar the whole time. We waited 25 minutes for a server and then another 10 for drinks. Our appetizer came out with our dinners which was fine and the food was good and hot and filling. Our drinks were never filled and we would have ordered a few more things and cocktails if the server had been around. We understand the COVID restrictions but watching people clear their own tables to be able to sit down and watching the servers all group together at the bar it was a little less than helpful. The food was great and we will be back for that but not on a night when we have other plans. read more

extremely slow service for average food. it took us 20 minutes just to get drinks and 1.5 hours to get out food. do not come here if you're in a hurry! read more

I went into this establishment to have a water with my friends who decided to have a drink (I was stuck driving). After showing the bartender my out of state ID, she proceeds to yell about how far away my expiration date was. I tried to explain that my ID was valid and that you have to obtain a new one when you are 65. She then passes my ID (with my personal information) to at least seven CUSTOMERS around the bar. Then she calls who I think is the bar manager over, who yells "hell no!" while clapping his hands in my face. The manager then proceeds to round the bar and argue with me about the validity of my ID. He told me to google it to prove it to him, which I did and confirmed my ID was valid. I understand the concerns for out of state IDs at bars. However, the way this was handled was totally inappropriate.... and she SHOWED MY DRIVERS LICENSE AND PERSONAL INFORMATION TO THE CUSTOMERS AT THE BAR. read more
