The only downfall of my visit was that I couldn't get a grilled cheese sandwich after 7pm. No sandwiches are made after 7pm. I had been looking forward to having a grilled cheese and fries all day....but my event started at 8pm. So I just ordered a drink and went hungry. I am a vegetarian so the shrimp and meat dishes were not appealing to me. They did suggest I try a $24 cheese pizza but I said "no thanks" because I didn't need a giant cheese pizza for just me. It's silly they can't grill a couple of pieces of cheese on some bread after 7pm when the kitchen is still open.

We continue to pick Madsen's for our bowling fix. Great customer service, cool retro vibe, cheap…read morekid-friendly food and bowling options. They are also the only bowling alley in Lincoln that participates in Kids Bowl Free, where you can sign children up for 2 free games of bowling per day all summer long! They do not take reservations for Kids Bowl Free and it applies only during specific hours. It's a great, low cost activity that provides access to bowling to more youth. I love it. And when summer is over, Madsen's is honestly a perfect indoor activity for kids during the winter. What about birthday celebrations? Yes! This summer we booked a lane on a Sunday morning to celebrate my son's birthday and it was a wonderful experience. Sara Madsen and I emailed back-and-forth many times to go over the details. We even showed up to a custom sign at our table. They recommend 6 bowlers per lane for timing sake, which usually gets at least 1 game for kids. The whole Madsen's team was prepped and ready to help make the day special. We felt very welcome. I really appreciated that we were able to spread out and decorate the high top bar behind the lane (they even mentioned it, I didn't have to ask) and even when my kids were running around while we setup, I never felt stressed out. Madsen's does offer a birthday rate (not featured on the website) so I recommend reaching out if you're interested. $80 includes 1 lane, 1 pizza, 1 hour of bowling for up to 6 bowlers and shoe rental. If kids bowl in socks and don't need shoe rental, paying the regular rate is actually $15-$20 cheaper than the birthday package. The regular rate for a lane is $40/hour + $3 shoe rental/person. Pizza runs around $20-$25 depending on toppings. The birthday was a Fortnite Birthday Bowling Royale theme so having pizza fit nicely into the setup. We had 5 kids and one pizza was plenty. For adults, I passed around a menu in case they wanted something different. Socks were part of our favors so we brought our own, but they do have some fun bowling socks for $3/person. They also have a bowling pin pin for the guests to sign and the birthday boy can take home? We have those for $20. We were also allowed to bring in desserts and they even stored the ice cream cake until we were ready and provided a knife for cutting. Note: The birthday rate already includes gratuity, which I didn't realize until after I paid. With the birthday rate and food ordered off the menu, the total bill was $155 plus $30ish in gratuity.

How do you mess that up. Well, the sauce on the macaroni and cheese was extremely salty. They were kind enough to let me order a new dish. I ordered a pork dish as a replacement. It was worse than my first dish. I even had my girlfriends taste it so they wouldn't think that I was too picky. So very salty again, not even edible (they agreed). I was so disappointed that I didn't want to seem like I was a bother. I could not eat it. Ruined my evening. They need a new chef. And its not like they have a lot of dishes on their menu. For such a beautiful place they need to FIX the food. Clearly hit and miss!

I'll admit I grew up visiting this place almost as much as my grandma's so the vintage decor not only doesn't phase me but it has a feel of home. Having said that, management does change over time and that's not always a guarantee. We just enjoyed an afternoon with our family this Christmas celebrating my dad's 80th birthday and JEN went out of her way to make everything smooth as silk!!! We reserved lanes in advance, her staff knew we were coming and pulled out all the stops. We had a tab for drinks and the only thing that could have made our day better is a burger by Fred (may he RIP). Thanks Parkway! I hope you continue on in Lincoln for many more years to come!!

I just visited The Escape Room with my wife and four friends, and we had a blast! We all heartily…read morerecommend trying it out. For those not familiar with escape rooms, the premise is simple. You get locked in a room for an hour and work together to solve a variety of puzzles within an hour in order to escape. I don't want to say too much about the puzzles, cause you'll want to experience them for yourself, but there were locks and keys and codes and all sorts of clever devices. There is also a television mounted on the wall that shows how much time you have left, and allows the folks running the show to provide the occasional hint if everyone is totally stumped (a facilitator watches you from behind a one-way window). Having never done an escape room before, this kind of surprised me, but after being in there for 20 minutes it totally made sense to me. It also added some levity. Escape rooms are new to Lincoln, and at the time of this review The Escape Room is less than a month old. There were a few minor kinks in the room, but we had so much fun that it didn't adversely affect our experience. Also, the folks at The Escape Room offered us a free escape experience at a later date, which we gladly accepted. Looking forward to coming back!
