we just left forest view, we love to come down every once in a while to bowl as a family. never have we had a bad experience until tonight. our server, never caught her name because she never gave it to us, she was tall with bleached hair, glasses & a nose ring, completely disregarded us. we all came to the conclusion this was because no one at our table bought alcohol, the whole 2 hours we were there she was at our table three times, only one of those times because we had to flag her down. she prioritized her tables that she was serving alcohol to, completely ignoring us when we tried to wave her down 3-4 times, LOOKING at us & continuing to move to the next table. i’m only giving extra stars because of the way the rest of the staff handled our situation, the waitress that we went to to pay our bill, because OUR waitress kept ignoring us, was so extremely kind & i wish i had caught her name.

I had a less than stellar experience here this past Sunday. Our group didn't realize we had an assigned server to our lane because nobody ever came over to greet us. We tried to order from the bar, but we were told we had to order from the server assigned to our lane. After we finally figured out who our server was and ordered, we were about 30-45 minutes into our game. Our server was rude, unfriendly, and seemed annoyed to be serving us. By the time our food came and we started eating, a manager (I think) told us we had to move because the lane was going to be used by another group. Okay, no problem, so we moved to the covered patio. From the time we ordered food, received our food, moved tables, and were ready to pay our bills, we never saw our "server" again. I had to ask the first employee I saw to grab our server so we could get our checks and pay. Our server said she had no idea that we moved when she finally brought us our checks... So she just didn't care that her table disappeared, hadn't paid their checks, and made no attempt to find out where they went?? I found that very hard to believe. This was my first time ordering food inside and bowling because I usually meet up with friends outside during the summer, but I don't know if I will ever be back to this establishment after the experience I just had here. I myself have worked in the service industry for 10 years, and I give lots of grace when I'm dining out because I understand that everyone has their bad days, especially on busy holidays like St. Patrick's Day, but the service I experienced this past Sunday was just downright nonexistent and awful.

Fun to bowl at but the lanes have too much oil on them. The lanes used to be better in my opinion but the changed something not too long ago

The bowling fun leagues are a really great time! Food and drinks are great as well. And special shoutout to our favorite Tuesday night server, Avery! He’s friendly and provides awesome service. Our team loves that guy and we look forward to seeing him every week.

Clean place with better food than you'd expect. The wait staff is prompt and pleasant. Pizza is the best around.

Great bowling alley. People are friendly. Very well maintained lanes. It's clean and relatively inexpensive. What more could anyone ask for?

This bowling alley is so much more than your standard alley. The vibes on the inside are very chill. The staff is super nice & they recognize the regulars. I appreciate their attention to detail and trying to give a great experience at their business. Forrest view Buffalo wings are so slept on and I’d say some of the best in the surrounding Toledo area. Love the pretzels and the margs are nice too. Plus they always open it feels like and when you can’t get an open lane in Toledo, chances are you will here. I’ve done a league here and come frequently. Love it here!

Saturday night .. had to wait for a lane. Not a problem, so we went to sit and wait. "Waitress" told us that was for her customers on that lane. Nobody ever sat at that table the whole time we waited.We finally got our lane and got started. Everything was super oily, I mean everything, lanes, every ball. floors, entrance. Watch your step. Those balls probably haven't ever been cleaned.So we got stuck beside a bunch of toddlers. All being watched by their older sister. Dad's letting them run all over the other lanes grabbing balls off other people's lanes and messing with other people's screens. We planned on being there for an hour and a half, but halfway thru the first game we were done. We were told to finish our game and come back for the refund. The kids weren't Forrestviews fault and they did refund us for our time. Just plan for chaos on the weekends.

We heard good things about this place but unfortunately we will never go back! We had a group outing for a friends birthday and this was her selection. Upon entering we had to make a reservation for the lane which we had no problem with doing so, the girl taking the reservations was very dry and ignored us (another patron noticed and mentioned that she must “LOVE HER JOB”) our reservation was for 5:30 so we had about an hour plus of a wait which was fine as well, we went into the restaurant area and seated ourselves, a young lady came and just DROPPED menus down literally said NOTHING we had a table of 8 and she left 5 menus and walked away. We shared menus and got our drink orders ready, when they finally did come over she was also very dry and barely made eye contact not a smile a smirk NOTHING. She handed us our cups with her hand on the TOP OF THE CUP smdh she rolled her eyes when we added to our drink order once the last friend came, and never told us certain things would be up charged, we don’t mind paying for it but to tell us we can get something on the side then charge us was not okay. EVERYTHING we ordered came out room temp I kid you not we had to send 2 orders of fried green beans back and all they did was redrop the same ones, fries COLD, chicken COLD, Now I will say the Buffalo chicken dip was good. When we first got here I told my friends I was not feeling the vibe as everyone was dry and it was clear from the looks and eye rolls when we talked to them that they didn’t want us here. Finally at 6p (30 mins pass our reservation but we were patient and kept ordering drinks) we get a text that our lane is ready, we cash out our checks at the restaurant and go upfront just for the guy to tell us we only have 45 mins and bowl since he has a waitlist, now when I asked the young lady making our reservation how it worked she said NOTHING about a time limit (we planned to bowl 2 games) so I asked him why would there be a limit when it wasn’t mentioned before WITH A COMPLETELY VISABLE attitude he said “I paged you multiple times”I said I have the text right here it was not even 10 mins ago and we had to pay our bills for our food, that is when he said again “well I have other people waiting” and I replied “WE WAITED OUR TURN TOO” at that point I was over this place and didn’t wanna continue to spend my hard working money here but again it wasn’t my birthday celebration so I just paid for the lane and we bowled, just to have him cut our lane off in the 9th frame!!! That was it!!! He had a smug smirk on his face when we approcahed and asked him if we could just finish our last frame so I kno he did it intentionally (mind you only 6 people were bowling so it wouldn’t have taken long at all) his answer was that “others are waiting”…. Now we are all professionals….nurses,therapists,and social workers, so we always give grace where needed because we understand PEOPLE however this place showed us from the jump they didn’t want and wouldn’t appreciate our business and I wish we would have just left at the first red flag!! NEVER AGAIN!!

My family and I always enjoy going to Forrest View to bowl, it's a very great place to bowl. However you'll have to wave down someone to take your order or go to the bar. I had to go to the bar multiple times for drinks and food because our waitress ignored us and never came to serve us. We even wait until our first game was half way through before going to get drinks ourselves. She even served people around us but never came to us
