Do not come here, overpriced and overrated. Also management cares nothing about their customers. Had a problem with one of the machines not giving credits on a game card. After explaining the situation to the owner they did not understand anything I said and preceded to tell my I was wrong. Good thing is they just saved me a lot of money cuz I won’t be comin back again 🙏🏽
Well Ive been a monthly goer to Zodos for about 20 years now even having my birthdays there. Bowlero is just so expensive. I could drive up to Santa maria go bowl 4 games or even more, drive back and it would still cost the same. Theres just no good deals here. It used to be a hot spot for my folks going at least 4 times a week for food and drinks but no more. Very sad it was such a great family place.
Home town bowling alley with a large bar area, boasting dozens of beers on tap and serving the typical assortment of bar food. Theres an arcade for the kids and party rooms for rent.
We have gotten a few meals from Zodos during quarantine, and everything has been awesome!! Extremely fast, fabulous prices and family deals, and delicious. This local business has also been generous to our medical community during this time, and has donated lots of yummies! Cant wait to go back to normal and come in for more fun.
Its been a long time since Ive gone bowling, definitely alot of fun!
Used to really like going there as a local bowling alley for lunch, beer, sports (and sometime bowling). Not at all a fan of the menu, prices, or vibe since Bowlero took over.
JACK IN THE BOX IS BETTER!!!The food and service is horrible and the price for everything went up. Small plate of tater tots was $8…you can get fries, hamburger and a drink for the same price somewhere else. If it continues like this Zodo’s will be out of business soon.
Better than your average bowling spot... outstanding beers have a Davy Dark!!! Western BBQ Bacon Burger on point... overall happy camper!!!
I went to zodos/bowlero today to watch a football game. I sat at one of the high tops in the bar area. I literally sat there the whole first half of the game and not once was I approached by the staff to take my order or ask If I wanted anything. Literally 2 hours there and not once approached. Oh and they were not very busy. There were plenty of empty tables. I very rarely post reviews but this was so ridiculous I couldn’t help it.
Ive been bowling for years and this is my favorite bowling alley by far. Ill admit, at certain times and on certain days the prices arent great, especially because you pay per person per game.However, if you come when the prices are low then you can have a great bowling experience with clean and oiled lanes. The bar and food are also relatively well priced and high quality.I give four stars because the price system seems a little scummy and I prefer to pay by hour.
Went there with my friends and had a good time! The bowling is a little bit expensive but the atmosphere was nice and the service was great! Our server Julie took good care of us and was super friendly and attentive. I would definitely come back just because of that!
Used to go here all the time for wings and bowling. Apparently theres new ownership and the menu really took a tanking. They have been cutting corners on the food now. The loaded potato skins are better at Jack in the Box now and down to the side of ranch is straight out of the hidden valley bottle now. Ew. Cross off another place I used to eat at. Its sad, zodos down to the last few days of old management always was really good and great vibes.
15 minutes to get a beer. I was the only one there. Thanks new ownership. To be fair, they did comp me the beer. They were super short-staffed. But thats a ownership problem. I hope they fix this. We would often come here on a moments notice. Prices has skyrocketed. $45 for a family of 4 to bowl one game is ridiculous. Also, the not so great but palatable food is no longer good and cost more. Sad face
My previous review was 5 stars but new corporate ownership changed so many of the things that made Zodos great, so I have to drop that down to 1. The staff is spectacular, especially Charity, and Ive always gotten stellar service and became recognizable simply because of how often wed go there for the best pizza and wings in town. We wont be going again now that the menu has changed. New ownership made a terrible decision and has ruined a Santa Barbara staple of great food, great service, great fun.
Love this place would give it 5 star but as a mom Im bummed the arcade has gotten ridiculously expensive
Please read the recent reviews. This place used to be great but apparently they have new ownership and its... not good. Too expensive and unfortunately this is the only bowling place in the SB area. We spent $65 for one four-person game that lasted ~30 minutes. Not worth it at all, getting *severally* overcharged for something takes all the fun away. Nobody was collecting unused balls so they were all over the place and you need to awkwardly go around to every lane looking for the right weight, hoping you didnt steal someone elses.I recommend just making a day trip to LA next time you want to bowl.
Under new management which seems at this point like a HUGE bummer. EVERYTHING went up in price to the point where it just doesnt make sense to go here. None of it seems reasonable. At this cost I may as well take the family to Disneyland. However, it is not even worth going here for beers now. Also, it seems like if you are going to charge premium prices you should at least deliver a premium experience, which they did not. We went on a hot day and we were expecting air conditioning which was not working and our lane was experiencing a comical level of technical difficulty I have never seen before. I guess the old business model must not have been working, but I cant imagine how this will work.
Lots of fun. Good food and drinks. A little bit busy on the weekends but still a great time. They offer great kids party packages here.
Sat down for some food 5 feet from the server and was ignored for 20 minutes until I left. Other servers walked right by too. It was only me and one other couple in the entire restaurant and the server spent the time chatting. Very unprofessional, or maybe they don’t serve my kind?Still left a quarter as a tip.. 10,000%+ tip!!Sucks… this placed used to be great. Was coming here for years but now they won’t even take my money.
This was my favorite place in the Santa Barbara area. New corporate ownership recently took over and gutted the menu, which arguably was the best in town. The cost has gone remarkably up for a considerably worse product. All but a couple of their staff has resigned. The only saving grace is the remaining general manager, Charity, who is awesome. Sadly, what was once a weekly trip for my family, and often large group of friends, is off the table. What a loss for me personally and for the whole community, which already lacked solid food options.
Uhhh food is honestly pretty bad now. Chicken sandwich is just tenders on a piece on a bread. Cheesy bread was something that looked like it came out of the microwave. No flavor at all. 15$ for hot wings. The place used to be great. Why did you give in to the big company.
See below for updated review..We had the z supreme pizza and it was great. However we werent sure if it was to have a sauce under the cheese.Can anyone answer that?UPDATE...7/16/2021SOMETHING BAD HAPPENED3 of us just walked in and were ignored as if we had not taken a shower in weeks.Nice young lady near the door politely said to take any table.30 minutes of nothing after that.No server, no food no beer.So we took our money to the Creekside.All 3 of us agreed Zodos is off the list..
Definitely a fun place to hang out at.They have a bar as well as an arcade with a few games along to make time pass while you wait for the bowling lanes to free up. You will need tokens to play the games, they arent too new so I dont think its worth going here just to play them.Bowling lanes have a tendency to get crowded on weekends, come early if you dont want to wait too long.
Ive grown up in Santa Barbara and Zodos is my favorite thing. Bring friends or family and enjoy the bowling. They have an amazing employee named charity. She just has an amazing spirit and has helped us numerous times, She is part of our bowling family. Tri tip sandwich is my go to when bowling. Make sure you bring friends and family so everyone gets to enjoy the fun.
Same zodos vibe, which is great! 😊 front desk staff friendly & welcoming. prices have increased substantially... (especially food & bar). biggest problem is the FILTH... bathroom looked like it hadnt been cleaned in days....same for sitting area at lanes. yuck! hoping my next visit to zodos will show some improvement.
Amazing place to watch sports. Incredibly organized. So many televisions. Solid grub. And theres Bowling! And BEYOND!Fantastic spot
Definitely DID NOT DISAPPOINT!Ive been going to Zodos for years. My wife and I both bowled on leagues and have tons of love and adoration of how things were several years ago. We moved to another state a few years back and were extremely excited to visit Goleta and as such we scheduled two separate events during our vacation.Our first event was a corporate party with my bosses and their bosses - so the stakes were pretty high. Not only was the food very good but the service was absolutely incredible. Our event manager, Charity, made the whole process a breeze and I didnt have to worry about a thing. My CEO personally took me off to the side and thanked me for all the hard work and planning to make the event happen. It was an amazing experience and every member of my company had a blast.My second event was a pretty small party celebrating our friends wedding. Equally delicious food and experience overall. The only caveat being that our hostess didnt give us as much attention as we had hoped. Didnt bother us much since everything else was amazing.
UPDATE 9/5/21: Met up with friends last night. It took forever to get menus. The server had to go and print more. Drinks took forever to be delivered. They were out of 2 drinks we ordered but were not told for about 20 minutes and we had to order something else. The menu is different, some items like the sliders we used to order are gone. We thought we would stick with our go-tos: wings, potato skins, and garlic fries. Extremely disappointed. The quality of the food was not good. Nowhere near what it used to be. Even the vibe was different. And there was at least one toilet that had a black ring inside like it hadnt been cleaned in a LONG time. Gross. Not likely to go back anytime soon. So sad.2017: My favorite garlic fries!!! Their food is pretty tasty and the bar has great drink choices. The arcade is fun. We spend a lot of time in there! Bowling is also super fun. The only problem is the lack of parking. If it is busy, finding a parking spot is very difficult which is why i am giving 4 stars.
Very fun bowling alley. Very nice people! Great food. Not typical bowling alley food. Did I mention the coin pusher game? I am addicted to it. Small arcade.
It was crowded so it made the lack of space between each lane feel extra tight. The food was good, especially the sliders. Those were awesome. We did have a run in with a couple different groups of people who didnt understand bowling etiquette.
Very bad service not enough staff the food is not good, I was told at the bar I couldn’t get a beer I asked for because they didn’t have enough mugs. These people don’t know how to run a place it is very unfortunate I used to be a regular but since the change of management the place is no longer the same, time to look for another spot.
I love Zodos but it states at the counter $8.99 per game when in fact it’s $8.99 per game per person which is misleading. They need to tell people that. Other than that it’s clean, great lanes, great service.
Fun place with some great bowling deals! Full bar, and their beer selection is awesome! Great parking and Hotels, drugstores and an Albertsons within walking distance. The food there is also very good! They also have a decent little arcade. Great for kids! I would avoid College(Wed)Night But Im old!
Best bowling in Santa Barbara (only bowling in Santa Barbara). But actually a really fun place for people of all ages with a great food menu and unreal beer selection.
Over priced. Horrible service. But fun otherwise.
Bar tender is hard to be happy all the time but some bartender are better at being friends with customers and I know when I am being treated as customers or a friend at almost 60yr old l just leave if lam not happy but great on tap beers....
Really expensive bowling! But theres foods and an arcade.
First time here and had a blast. Staff was very welcoming and helpful. Had a great time with my kids! Definitely recommend it.
I ordered a salad from here & caught them grabbing my salad with their bare hands , I asked them about it and they said they use their bare hands WITHOUT GLOVES to prepare all their food. That’s disgusting & im pretty it’s illegal & that’s the biggest safety hazard in restaurants. Please do not get ur food from this disgusting place you don’t know where people’s hands have been.
Zodo’s is usually a fun time but we were severely disappointed by our experience today. We checked the website for open bowling hours which stated 9am-close for Saturday. We arrived at 10:30am with our 4 year old niece to celebrate her birthday, only to see every lane full because of a bowling competition. The lady at the desk was nice and apologized and told us lanes would likely be open at 12pm. Fair enough, we went to get food and came back at 11:30am, asking to be added to the wait list. They added us to the list and stated it may be just a few minutes after 12pm.We check back in around 12pm and noticed at least 5 lanes open. Yet the front desk staff said no to our request to bowl, as we had to wait until the competition finished. I asked- “Can we play in those open lanes?” A rude lady said “NO. It’ll be 30 more minutes at least.” Confused, we decided to wait 20 more minutes. We waited in the arcade and went back at 12:20pm, noticing now nearly ALL lanes open, (only 2-3 lanes being used by the competitors) but still the rude front desk lady said no. We decided to leave.Overall disappointed as our niece was bummed, and we were confused by the waiting process, when there were clearly lanes open. Several other families came in as well to bowl and ended up leaving, upset. Some signage on the front door or alerts on the website would’ve been appreciated.1/10 experience (only giving a 1 for the arcade -which by the way had multiple broken games) likely won’t come here ever again.
Really fun place to hang out! Ive only been in the evenings, which I wouldnt really recommend for families with small children because of the type of music they play and the college crowd, but for adults, there is an excellent bar with great drinks and a delicious full menu. They also have a great happy hour. The bowling is not super expensive and the system helps make it fun with replays on the screen, etc. Its a fun place to hang out with your buddies for a bit of friendly competition!
Zodos is great. They have a good restaurant and tap room... One of the best beer selections in the area with many of your favorite microbrews and local beers on tap. The staff is friendly and I have a great time every time I come to bowl here. Highly recommended.
Pretty darn good as far as bowling alleys go. There are a decent number of beers on tap. It can get a little crazy/busy on Friday and Saturday night with the wait lasting as long as an hour. But whats nice is that theyve gone automated so you can check in and wait at the bar during late night happy hour from 9-11 while youre waiting on a Lane and then receive a text once its ready.
Took our group here for an excursion and it was awesome. Super friendly staff and a great experience all around. I would highly recommend for any group or individual.
Welcome to California. This is it. This should be your first stop the day after a long trip, to get a grip on where you are. Santa Barbara lacks in down to earth places. So, if you are tired of paying $30 for scallop tacos, come on over.Ball caps are flat. Shorts are long. Suns out = guns out. Lots of ink. Everyones friendly, but that theres that California distance...The place is clean. Its loud, but not as bowling alleys go. Food was what you would expect, but with better variety and presentation than most places. Easily over 30 beers on draft. Theres a pretty respectable arcade, but nor enough proper pinball for my tastes.
Love this bowling alley. We used to go here all the time when we lived in Goleta/ Santa Barbara. The food is actually really good and the beer options are plentiful. I used to play in league bowling here and it was a great time. Now that we have a 2 year old and live out of state this place is still a blast. I would highly recommend trying Zodos if you are in the area and like bowling, or food, or beer, or fun!
Great place to hang out with friends! They have a full bar, small arcade, and great service. Everyone is friendly. The place itself is large and clean. Felt a little cramped bowling next to other people with little/not enough seating for everyone. The food is good, but nothing special.
The new management has really amped up the quality of this place! They have amazing service and really yummy food & drinks. I recommend the pizza! Also, the bar is awesome to hang out at even if you don’t bowl.
Awesome birthday party for a 5-year old! Love Zodos!
The Zodos burger was amazing!!! The bacon was incredible, the mushrooms and cheese melted in my mouth, the burger was cooked perfectly, the top of the brioche bun was picturesque, because of all the fixings/garnish, the bottom of the bun was mush... no problem, I used my fork and knife and cleaned my plate... service/Jess.. top notch.. thank you for a wonderful meal/dining experience... !
Ordered from this place and they forgot my wings and drinks. The calzones were gross, idk what kind of rubbery cheese they are using because it is disgusting. Very disappointing and Ill never order food from this place again.
The place was wonderful and even your server Niyah she was the best she gave us everything we asked for there was no problems you guys should give her a raise.
I wish I could say how nice Zodos was, but I couldnt do anything once I got there. I arrived on a weeknight at around 6 without any sort of special promotion or anything going on to find that every single lane of the place was reserved for another 2 hours. There was no sign or anything telling us this or on their website, and when I was there (to make matters worse) NONE of the lanes were being used at all. I didnt want to wait two hours just to bowl, and because they rented out the entire place I had to take my money elsewhere. I will not be returning to Zodos.
Unfamiliar with the area and needed some time to kill. From my search results, Zodos looked like a fun place to visit. The staff at the main counter helped with my newbie questions with setting me up for a bowling lane and shoe rental. I played a couple games and the atmosphere is very clean and fun. The arcade was fun but due to the 101 shutdown, there wasnt any ticket payouts. I personally liked the Jurassic Park shooter game. I will definitely come back with my family and make an afternoon of it!
As far as bowling goes, the place is fine. The bowling balls are greasy and it smells wierd. The lanes are fine and the prices are acceptable. This is a good place to bring kids though. But the arcade isnt the best. The prizes arent good and the machines are all broken except a few. Basically the arcade was run down and broken. But it still is a place to have a lot of fun.
Used to be amazing but they got bought out by a big corporation. Food is horrible and no longer the place to come to for food, drinks and family fun.
Great spot to watch the games! Beers are reasonably priced, and when its happy hour, it gets better! Finger food is good too, and the bar tenders are cool. Bowling is also a plus when youre out on a date or with family.
Excellent place to go bowling and hang out have some drinks and watch sports out doors!
Great place to go and hang out. You have the option to bowl or watch sports in the bar. They have one of the largest selections of beers on tap in Goleta. I wouldnt call the food great but it is decent. Overall a great place to go with friends.
The style and design is great for a good time, but then service can be better. We were told it would be an hour wait and an hour and a half past and our spot was taken and they only offered 30 minutes to bowl. Did not even get to bowl since they were closing.
So FUN. Family friendly, they help with setting up with our 7 year old.BAR is GREAT, LOT OF PINTS to choose from. 16 or 23 oz?...Happy Hour 23oz was only 2$ more. DONE!Use axxess card for Game tokens, kids love it. But $40 in tokens got my 2 kids a couple erasers as prizes.Bowling is reasonable but the shoes are pricy, fam of 4 x 2 games and shoes = $48.My kids love it.
Great place to eat, bowl, and drink! Havent had a bad experience yet. The bars drink selection is on point from beer to cocktails to wine, and I will definitely be coming back.
Its a nice bowling alley, and the food is better than youd expect from a bowling alley, but its expensive. If youre on a date or taking your kids after work, after renting shoes, youre looking at around $40 for just an hour of bowling. Its like theme-park pricing. I find it somewhat offensive.
Great for kids. Lanes are well.maintained and easy to operate. The line for counting up the arcade tickets is insane. Where are people getting thousands of tickets? Took 45 minutes to ultimately get my sons tickets counted and for him to then get get a pixie stick and plastic plane. Never again.
Overpriced, packed, and the arcade is a cramped and miserable experience. At least they have a halfway decent notification system so you dont have to sit around for 3 hours while you wait for a lane. Its the only bowling alley in Santa Barbara or Goleta area, so they have no competition.
Recently-added projection screens create reflections that make it nearly impossible to see the lane markings. Very frustrating.
Since new management Zodos is no longer the same unfortunately.Previously I rated it 5 stars, but had to update to only 2 stars
Best bowling in town, the bar is great and has reasonable prices. Food is lackluster but not less than expected. The arcade is small and falling apart.
Great service. Great atmosphere. Great place to watch a ballgame and enjoy a beer on tap. Good Eats. Oh and did I mention, you can bowl if you want to.
Zodos is always a great place to visit and have fun either w/ family or friends. The price to bowl is great in addition w/ the food which is tasty. They have a small arcade, a bar, and a dinner.
My experience has varied wildly by the day. First time I went I had great service and the food was great. I got the meatlover pizza and loved it. The second time I went I sat for 20 minutes after I asked for a menu and ended up leaving and going to rustys across the street.
The bar and restaurant are good. Lots of craft beer choices and the menu is expansive. The food is very good and the service is usually good. Decent happy hour drink specials as well.
The hostesses in the bar was not customer service oriented and didnt offer any solution when we approached her asking about seating, except there could be a spot low Its a little sad when your own employee dont know how to handle customers or even know how to do their job. Everyone seemed like a they worked in a morgue.
A bit on the more costly side. The shoes for bowling show obvious wear and have an, what Id say, outdated style. Some friends of mine that also went bowling had some technical issues as well. Its also worth noting that the whole process of being and having fun at Zodos could be confusing to many if theyre not accompanied by someone whos gone to Zodos many time.
Zodos is a really fun atmosphere for everyone , kids and adults. 😉
Fun for all ages! A great place for birthday parties, too! The food is really good and they have abundant beer on tap.
Love this place, great atmosphere, good food, games & TVs. Cant wait to bowl!
The prices are ok, the prizes in the arcade are sucky and the service is decent. The food is not that great and the staff in the kitchen seem to not want to deal with you. But the kids always have fun so ill be back for that one reason.
It was a blast .they have a great kids or family thing for free lanes. Only down side was had to go to bar to order food and sodas and I wasnt comfortable with having grandkids in bar area.
Bowling is forever a good time.😃
Great beer selection with a solid menu with meal or appetizer options. Good lunch or happy hour spot even if youre not bowling.
Fun place to bowl with friends also has a full bar and food
It was amazing good food, amazing games for the arcade didnt do bowling but bowling is always fun the only problem was parking but it was Monday night so I totally know why.
What happened to this place? Food and service use to be great!! Even during the pandemic. Very disappointed with their food and service now!
Friendly staff and good prices for bowling.
Great college nights on Wednesdays. Lively and fun bowling place
This place kicks ass - bowling with food and tons of beer on tap. The lane was a bit crooked (very slightly and could only be noticed when using the little kids bowling ramp) and we had to end a bit early due to league games which take up all lanes - that sucks.
Local fun spot to hit up in Goleta. More popular than I remember it being in prior years
Great place to hang out for a drink. Good food too. Lots of sports and sports fans. Im sure the bowling is good too...
Great Environment, with a helpful staff. High quality bowling alley, definitely recommend for everyone. Great price range too!
Imagine if there was a bowling alley at Burning Man or EDC. Now you dont have to because this is that place! Santa Barbaras hottest party is at Zodos. This place has everything. Neon lights on the bowling lanes, glow in the dark balls, pizza, beer, a midget luchador named Steve, and an arcade that could pass as a Chuck E Cheese run by Willy Wonka. (Ok there actually arent any midgets.) Wednesday nights are college nights and you can rent a lane by the hour. Its a pretty good deal.
The food is truly bad quality and expensive. My impossible burger was raw, soggy and cold.
Such a gem for the Santa Barbara and Goleta community. Great for all ages. They have new owners and I truly hope they dont change it up too much.
Good bowling alley with friendly staff and fair pricing (very cheap on quiet nights like Sunday). Great range of beers too.
Great bowling alley. Friendly, helpful staff. Well maintained. Decent food and a large variety of beers on tap.
Not very affordable and not very nice people. Been a while since Ive been bowling, but Im not used to being charged for the shoes, the games, and the amount of time. Seems ridiculous to me.
Love bowling but unfortunately i was charged twice for my time there
LOVE bowling here! Come join a league, its fun even if you cant bowl very well - You get a handicap that will even things out.
Great place for a good hangout with co-workers. I just needed to wait a long time for the more experience host to book three lines for my party.
Great food, fun arcade and bowling, nice and friendly staff. Overall a great place to have fun with friends.
Super cool bowling alley great bar loved it!
I was there last year, and oh boy did I have FUN. Best night ever.
Its fun entertainment place for you and your family and friends. Happy birthday parties to. . I definitely recommend zodos bowling
It took our server roughly 20 minutes to even ask us what we wanted to drink. Food was ok, wish I could say it was great
Bowling and lunch for 19 bucks!! Not to shabby. Food was good and place was clean! Ill definitely go back agian
9 dollars per game, per person. If you come alone youll be here for a few minutes.
A great place for kids and teens-a little too loud for me but I had fun bowling and when the counter messed up the staff gave us extra time to finish our game.
I really liked this place it is very fun they have a bar and a arcade but I suggest that you go late at night to get a better experience
Place to have fun and eat. Kids frendly place.
Awesome food and service. Bowlings pretty awesome too
ZODOS, WHAT CAN I SAY...GREAT PLACE TO CELEBRATE A KIDS B-DAY PARTY. KIDS CAN RUN AROUND AND BE THEMSELVES. WHILE AT THE SAME TIME BECOME EXHAUSTED (WINK, WINK)PARENTS CAN UNWIND A LITTLE. HAVING A GLASS OF YOUR FAVORITE BEER WHILE CHASING AFTER YOUR LITTLE ONES OR HANG OUT AT THE BAR. ATMOSPHERE SEEMS TO BE FULL OF HAPPY BUZZ PEOPLE WITH AND W/OUT KIDS/BABYS HAHAHA (TRUE STORY)HUNGRY?! ORDER SOMETHING OFF HE MENU. FOOD IS OKAY. (ORDER AS SOON AS GET THAT HUNGER FEELING. CAN TAKE SOME TIME). SOMETHING TO TEMPORARILY FILL YOUR BELLY WITH.
We were visiting from Las Vegas and I was able to sign my little one up to bowl free games or very inexpensive food is awesome I love this place
We Love our Zodos miss not living in the area so when we are in Goleta we love to have lunch here Great service
The food is pretty good, with decent prices, service is consistently good adding fun to the overall bowling experience.
A go to spot for locals and tourist. Relaxing and a cool staff.
Web and Google shows open. Got there and they are closed until 6/18 for ownership change. Disappointed they weren’t very nice about the communication.
Who doesnt like bowling . Great atmosphere good food and fun for the whole family.
Decent bowling alley and a decent tap house. Came here mid day with some coworkers for a team outing and has a good time.
Super fun!!!Must add maybe add more games or something like pool for adults. Other than that super fun great environment !!
Lots of people so I thought it would be too loud and crowded but it made it fun. Kids played with each other and it was over all fun
Such a fun family place..but with great food and a great bar..i think the new remodel is a bit cold..but..its nice
Very clean and they have a cute little arcade for the kids. Awesome bar and food.
Good place to grab a drink or food or take the family to have some fun bowling & kid games or meet a friend for lunch or watch some sports with the gang or coworkers
The staff at Zodos have always been awesome, and still in these uncertain time may even be better than before. Thank you guys for going above and beyond.
Amazing gaming arcade and bowling space
Good experience, I went with a group and it was paid for. Pretty clean environment, bowling balls and shoes are in decent condition.
A large chunk of the arcade was out of service, but otherwise a good place for group fun
The kids love the arcade and the bowling. Its a very kid friendly place.
Sliders were delicious perfect for kidsto run around and bowl arcade go NOW😄
When do you guys open for bowling again?Your voicemail references outdated information
Lots of lanes, a nice bar on the side and an arcade to top it off. Entertainment for the entire family!
Best place to bowl, reasonable prices, fun atmosphere for families, college students, people of all ages
If you like to bowl and drink (alcohol) and have some good, inexpensive good then this place is for you!
Nice little arcade. Didn’t bowl or eat at the restaurant so can’t comment on those
Nice place to bowl, have a drink and some food. Most importantly, it has Table Tennis!
Food and service as always, top marks.Especially.... Jess & Ali in the bar!Thank you for great energy.
Great atmosphere with the bowling but need a bigger game area
Been waiting on order for literally half an hour. I completely understand, if there short on staff especial when theres a holiday.
Great, bowling equipment, great food and bar, but expensive to bowl.
Its a nice, clean bowling alley. Kid-friendly place.
Great atmosphere and food service. Bowling and a whole lot more.
Really fun bowling alley PLUS they have an awesome bar! Whats better than that!?
Bad service at bar area i was waiting for service and bartender was too busy watching the game then he lies says i was never at the bar when I was standing and made eye contact and still didnt approach me to at least say I will be right with you nothing bad service
Great food and nice taproot. Very cool bowling alley.
Fun for the whole family. Kids had a blast
Take your family and friends or just roll in solo.. games bowling and sports on t.v this place is fun for everyone..
The menu is awesome this place is great fun for the whole family.
I had amazing time. They actually took care of me, catch me hitting strikes and drinking booch!
Super fun place!! Gorgeous bowling, arcade, food and more.
A bit pricy, but still good fun
Zodos I axx fun night out but staff if food place not attached to bar very rude.
I have been in this bowling place several times and it pretty good over here.
Great beers on tap (over 40!), and a great lunch and bowl deal.
This place rocks, I wouldnt think I would have so much fun but its amazing
A good place to hang out with friends but it’s a little crowded with less space to go around.
Lots of beer choices, good food. Great place to watch sports
Great place for the family, bowling, arcade and the food is good too!!
Zodos is the best ever!! best lanes and bar in SB/Goleta! staff is basically family
Super fun for kids and parents. Good food and games for all.
The service is great the beer is excellent and I love the sound system
Foods not bad but arcade and bowling is a big disappointment

2022-02-10We went on a Wednesday afternoon, just after they opened at 2pm. Service was great, and friendly. There were quite a few open lanes, which filled while we were there. Fees on this day were per person per game. No happy hour, but they had afew drink specials. We got a pizza and some chicken strips. No complaints. Gaming arcade is no longer token and paper ticket based. Its all via a Bowlero rechargeable card. The arcade card costs $2, so dont toss it if you think youll be back for more arcade gaming. Money and tickets all get loaded on to the card. Overall a good time. 👍👍

2022-02-14Bowling side is fine. Restaurant side has much to be desired. So hard to get an order in. Employees not doing much including the manager even tho it wasnt that busy. You will have to chase them down. Theyre busy watching TV or on their phones. Food came out cold. Only had one young waitress who seemed to be running everywhere getting everyones orders. This is not fair for her. And I know the manager saw me trying to get her attention so to be ignored and have to constantly wait says alot about her management style. The waitress will be getting a good tip but I dont think Ill be returning.

2022-04-30Zodo’s USED to be the best. It was so fun to be there, the atmosphere was great, the arcade was fun, but NOW… well. After it was bought out, the prices are crazy. It’s not longer a place you can just casually go to have some fun, it’s a splurge. Even the arcade prices are insane, it’s like $2 per game. I mean WHAT??? My friend and I played 3 bowling rounds, totaling probably 30 minutes overall, and it cost about $65.Just really disappointing overall given how great it used to be.

2022-02-14Zodos has been around for as long as I can remember - its a staple in this town. Theyve grown tremendously over the years and Ive never been more impressed than I am now! The new, high-tech screens, way better food and drinks and they are seriously improving the arcade as they focus more on entertainment. One thing that hasnt changed is the customer service. The people who work there really take the time to make sure youre having fun!I remember a party I planned for my daughter a few years ago and it was totally last minute! The manager Charity and the other employees moved things around and made it happen for us. It was a huge success!Now that my daughter is in high school at DP, I am the co-chair for the After Prom Party committee. Each year we host a blow out bash at Zodos so our kids have somewhere safe to go after prom. Charity has worked hand and hand with each new chairperson to ensure that every single detail is taken care of, and these kids leave (at 4 am ) having had the BEST evening of their lives! I was nervous about being In charge of such a big, important event, but after meeting with Charity and seeing how professional and confident she was about everything I am really excited! I honestly hope she never leaves! Last year was my first experience with the after prom party and I have to say, I was thoroughly impressed! Its the perfect place to host an epic event or spend a Saturday night with friends and family! Santa Barbara is woefully lacking in fun things for kids (and adults) to do, so Im thrilled Zodos made it through the pandemic and is thriving!

2022-04-14A friend and I used to visit Zodos for lunch every few weeks over a period of years. Then Covid intervened. We went back for the first time in two years today.The bar was empty with no serving staff. I went to the front desk where a very helpful lady explained that Zodos doesnt usually open until later in the afternoon but that she would get us anything from the menu that we wanted.She was as good as her word and arranged for sandwiches and beer.The food and beer was good, if not exceptional, but the atmosphere of an empty bar was a little surreal.

2022-05-07We are a local family, and have been Zodos customers for a long time.We always loved the place, but now that its under new management its so expensive that we decided not go back again! We noticed the place was really quiet for a Friday night, and after spending a small fortune for mediocre food and bowling for 5 people for an hour I understand why the place is empty.Its too bad! The place used to be packed, and it was affordable but not anymore.Wont be returning!

2022-06-05If I got nothing to do and I need some activity I go bowling. I am trying at least once a week and if possible more. Zodosis affordable and the equipment is very good.

2021-11-12We had a Great time with our Lil Family. The Arcade was Super fun. The food was tasty honey BBQ flavored boneless hot wings. Lemonade taste like real lemons were incorporated. My 6 year young BabyGurl Angelinah Forever loved her side of fries and pizza. Momma was happy BabyGurls as well. God is good and All is well. The Staff were Really friendly and professional. Security was there and very Nice and Professional. Overall we had a Great Experience first time since the Pandemic that we came here at Zodos. Blessings Yall from Abel Dupuy Cardoza and Fam....

2022-02-15I am a Goleta local and zodos has always been my go-to! Recently under new management I’ve seen drastic changes (some good and some different) one thing remains impeccable and that’s the service! The other night a lovely manager named “Charity” was very helpful. She heard our concerns and took immediate action to ensure our visit was nothing short of perfect! Her kind demeanor and welcoming nature makes you feel like you’re at home! The communication to patrons and her staff speaks volumes to her management and leadership skills! She is quick yo resolve issues and provide the highest levels of customer service! Charity is a person centered and costumer-centric individual who will bring the greatest change to bowlero! Great asset to the team. Also kudos to Darrien and Lance who keep the bar pumping with good vibes and positive attitudes! They bring the fun, energy, and amazing drinks to all who visit! Highly recommend this establishment whether you’re looking for a family outing, solo sports night, or fellowship with friends and family! Thank you to the amazing team who shows up everyday to provide excellence and community to Goleta, Ca!
