Nice crispy fryer fries, melty cheese on top of a tasty patty, with buttered flattop grilled bun. Don't want to sit at the bar, no problem. There are a couple tables to sit at. Couple of tap beers available along with bottles and cans not to mention the nice selection of full alcohol.

I LOVE THIS PLACE…read more This place is awesome. It's got a bunch of activities for kids of all ages. There is an area specifically for 4 and under so they don't get trampled by the big kids. The bigger kids have access to an array of HUGE bouncy houses, an obstacle course, and arcade games. In the back, there are even two bowling lanes. If you get hungry, there's a snack bar that offers everything from coffee to burgers, to Mac n cheese, to corn dogs, to popcorn. The staff members are super nice and when I was there, I saw them cleaning machines, tables, and even the trash cans. The prices are very reasonable, in fact, they are a lot cheaper than expected. Wrist bands are $4 for the kids to use the bouncy houses and obstacle courses. For $1 you get four tokens for the arcade games and most of them are one or two tokens. I highly recommend this place.

We attended there because a friend invited my kids to join them,…read moreFirst, it would have been nice to know that you DO NOT need to purchase bounce house tickets for kids not wanting to bounce. They only have something like 3 bounce houses. $36 for 2 kids, and one not to jump was pricey. It is $18 per person (4 and older) on the weekends, cheaper if you go on a weekday. The Arcade... So, apparently, a good deal, 100 tokens for $20. So, we split the tokens 50/50. I was shocked when my child was frustrated because a ticket based arcade did not work, and we realized it required 4 tokens! The number of machines that required 4 tokens seemed to be in the majority. Most places we have been to, the higher token machines were typically the race car driving machines, where machines that give tickets typically range in the 1-2 token family group. Now, I saw that someone mentioned that the arcade accepted 1-4 tokens, I did not find (on 4/25/2025 any that accepted only 1 token. Not saying that they were not there... I just did not find them. I did find a few that accepted 2 tokens or 3 tokens though. They do have some sort of bowling game that required 8 tokens in the back corner. While we were there yesterday, on a Saturday afternoon, it was really quite empty, we did not see anyone working the concession area at all. Thankfully, we brought water bottles. While there I did see a frustrated parent who paid $14 (children 3 and under rate), because the bounce houses were geared toward that age group. Overall - over priced.

I cannot believe I haven't reviewed Viking yet!…read more This was the first place we tried for fish fry when we moved to town, and it was delicious. They have a unique breading that really feels like you're eating somewhere fancy. Then we purchased their summer family bowling pass! It gives up to four people unlimited bowling for up to two hours each time you come form Memorial Day through Labor Day. It was only $50 and included shoes. The first time we came we save d that much alone! Such a great deal. They didn't do it this year, and I'm sure it had something to do with covid. We also LOVE their food in general. During quarantine we have been ordering from there lots! Sometimes we just get burgers and a few apps because they are so good! Their burgers, cheese curds, potato munchers and onion rings are the best! Hahah!

Date of visit: January 24, 2026…read more What else is there to do on a ridiculously cold day in Madison before a show that evening besides hanging out at an arcade? For just $15, you can play as much as you'd like, with a wide variety of games from classics that are even older than me (if you can believe that) to things that are quite a bit newer. Games are mostly organized by type, so all of your racing games are together, shooters, etc., which is nice for the most part, but can make mounting and dismounting some of the racers a bit tricky or have you slightly closer to a stranger than you would prefer. Most games were in good repair, though a few were not so good, such as House of the Dead 4. Would have preferred a bit more in terms of snacks and beverages to allow me to stay longer and play a bit more, but I'll just prepare better next time!

The bowling kiosk had a lot of games on it to change up the bowling experience. The venue has a restaurant and a full bar. The bartender wasn't the nicest. My friend tried to get her attention that the water ran out and she didn't give him the time of day. I ordered a beer during happy hour but didn't get the 1$ off for the happy hour. When our groups time was up, the employees were very fast in turning over the lane for the next group. Overall, mixed experience but would probably come back.

Always a good time rollin'…read more The Suger River lanes is a nice personable bowling alley. The bartenders are always friendly and attentive to the lanes if help is needed. Sometimes the bartenders are stretched a little thin, trying to do both, which happens in a small bowling alley. Good food and drink specials. Our family enjoys the "Buddy Fries". These are french fries covered with melted cheese, and bacon, seasoned and served with ranch dressing. Definitely not healthy, but the kiddos like them. The bar area has both hightops and standard tables and is kid friendly. They often host family gatherings, bands, and special fund raising events. In addition to bowling leagues, they host volleyball and bag leagues in the summer. Overall, a good addition to small community. It's nice to have the Sugar River Lanes in town.
