So, why the low rating, you might ask. Well, as much as I loved the decor and vibe, the service and food just wasn't there. Trust me, I so wanted to walk away with that warm and fuzzy, but instead it was cold and "Meh." It was about 1 p.m. on a Wednesday afternoon. When my group first arrived it was pretty empty. Maybe 6 other people tops in the entire place. There was 8 of us, and we went into the back room where we could eat and also have a meeting. Ideal, right? Well the server (also the bartender), was nice enough, but she really didn't know the menu very well, and it's pretty simple. Nevertheless, we ordered drinks, then we were served said drinks in a timely fashion, and then ordered food. All good so far! The glitch? Our meals were piece mailed to us, if you will. A couple individual appetizers here, then one person would get his burger, then another. At one point about 5 of the 8 of us had completely finished our meals when the last 3 just got theirs. I'm sorry, but that's NOT how it's done. It's not cool! I don't think it was the server's fault, but the cook just didn't know how to multitask I guess. This is common restaurant style cooking, everyone gets their food roughly at the same time. That's why it's referred to as "Sharing a Meal." Now that nice young lady tried, but she could have easily sold me a second bloody marry, and almost all of my eating mates' beers were empty and she never once asked if we wanted another round. In addition to not satisfying the customer, that actually cost the owner money. The food? Pedestrian! I'm sorry, I know, I know. How dare I? Look, I'm new to Wisconsin, so all I have to go buy is what I know. And I know that I recently fell in love with the burger chain Culver's. Those burgers are the bomb! And they're "Fast Food." So surely a cool Sparta sports bar with amazing ambiance can match a fast food burger joint, right? Wa wa wa, wrong! I had a patty melt and it was small and dare I say, boring, and a little dry. Once again, I wanted so badly to love this joint, but they let me down. Maybe it was an off day? I hope so, because if they're enjoying the limited options this cool little town has and just mailing it in, that's not cool either. Nevertheless, you be the judge. Hopefully you'll have a better experience than we did. Cheers!

If you are "wise" to her get ready because it will come back 10x! I have been going to this place for many years but have never written a review. Probably because I looking for the right word to call the waitress. Haha I have ordered the burgers before and they are outstanding! Hand pressed and they are BIG. I made the mistake of order a double yesterday and I had my hands full...literally. Great flavor and very filling! I ordered the fries as well and left plenty behind because I couldn't eat all of them. Good FF The place is very clean and has the same décor it had....well long ago! A MUST stop if you are in the Winona, MN area. It is difficult to get to but don't worry Witoka is in the goggles. The Friday night fish fry is outstanding as you probably read in other reviews. The fish used at the fish fry is not on the regular menu so don't confuse the two!

As we started bowling, the music that was playing was completely uncensored. In one verse we heard "F**k that b***ch and make that p***y wanting more..." Realizing we had small children, the attendant ran and switched the music. It was unfortunate that it happened, but we were happy that the issue was remedied right away. For being the only alley left in town, and bowling alleys falling left and right, it's nice to have it here. However, it would be really nice to see some upgrades here and there. I left Winona as a resident 16 years ago, and it seems like everything is exactly the same as when I left. But, also understandable that COVID is killing recreation and small businesses, so it's not a complaint more than a "hope to see in the future". Kids had a blast and were glad we came!!!

However, I previously called and asked about lane availability and was assured to come right on over-that there would be room for us. I did. They waited till I was there to kick us out in front of everyone bc we "shouldn't even be in [there] if we're not Winona State." I assumed Westgate would be full so I didn't initally even try! After being failed by the smaller guy, Winona Bowl, Westgate was my last hope! I get there, it was packed!! I knew it. But I go up to the counter. The guy, Zach, sees me and says, "Just one second please." I waited and he says, "Hi! Welcome. What can I do for you?" I said, "We just got kicked out of Winona Bowl for no reason bc I'm not a student. I am a law student, but not a WSU student. Please, we just wanted to bowl one game. Do you have ANYTHING available." "Oh. Not at the moment but I can take your name. It might be 10-15 minutes." "Ok, I said, "That's fine. I'll wait." I went to notify my little sister that we'd need to wait but that we could stay. I turned to head back to his counter and he was coming to look for me. "We have a lane for you right over here!!" "Wow," I said, "Already?? That was fast!" "Yup. Here ya go!" We all then went to get shoes turned to head over to bowl. He said "You gals have fun. Anything else we can do for you, please let me know. I'll be right up here." It was so busy he had to yell. lol "Thanks so much, Zach?," I yelled back, as I looked at his name tag. He looked down too but then back up when he heard his name and smiled, "Yea." "Zach,... I'm gonna yelp you. I want everyone on Yelp to know how you saved our night!" "Ok," he smiled politely. (I don't think he believed I would actually review HIM.) My sister yells from the lane, "Come on~what are ya scared. You are so going DOWN." I rolled my eyes at her on my way to go get a ball. ..............(And so, we bowled, laughed, cheered, and I DID go down, she mopped the floor with me.) lol Thanks, Zach. You RoCk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You're kindness changed our night. No wonder you are always busier at Westgate. Your owner probably cares that you actually know how to treat people. You have won my business every time from here on out. Owner of Wesgate, thanks for the GREAT hire. You entrust your business' reputation to ZACH on busy nights that you are not there, as he is the first one people converse with when they go to the counter. He represents you and carries you well. You should be proud.
