The wait staff were nice, even when we sent back a vegetarian pizza that had hamburger on it. When I got the right pizza, I was satisfied. It was deep dish. I wouldn't go out of my way for it but it was very good in the environment. The drinks were also good and the bartender was very kind. I'm looking forward to my next visit.

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!!

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.
