   This is the second time we have tried Screamer’s. The first time wasn’t great but I thought maybe it was because they were slow and there was only four other tables. Last night they had the front room almost full so I was hoping for a better experience. My kids were disappointed that every song they requested was shut down and we were told they couldn’t sing it. The breaks between performances was long. The food tastes great but it seems very expensive for the amount of food you get. My assumption is the added price is for the entertainment. Our waiter seemed annoyed every time he came to the table and didn’t check on us very often. Things that I feel like they could do to improve is have an app that has their song list so you know what songs you can request and be able to request the song in the app. I feel like it would also be more worth the price if they only took 5 minute breaks in between songs. We went to celebrate the kids last day of school and they left disappointed that they didn’t even get to request a song.

   Our waiter was so good and SO fun! He even sang our song request which was amazing. Everyone in our group raved that the food was also extremely good - I had the chef’s mac n cheese and I loved it. I will recommend Screamer’s to anyone who is looking for a place to eat in Lincoln!

   We came before a concert so understandably was busy. We ordered our food with our drink order right when we sat down and it took over an hour to get it. People that got there after us got their food before us. We had to flag our waitress down to ask about our food and it ended up coming out in the next 3-5 minutes after we asked about it making me think they forgot to put our order in. A little overpriced for food but it was good - not amazing. Don’t order the chicken strips - looked like Tyson frozen strips for $17. The entertainment from the singing waiters was great - really the only thing that made the experience enjoyable.
   

   Screamers Family RestaurantResponded on May 22, 2023Thank you for dining with us I am sorry things didn't go well. It sounds as if the ball was dropped as can happen us being human and all. We are always happy to make things better if we can. I'm wondering if any allowances were made ie... we paid for the meal?? It is only fair to include the business's response to the problem not just that there was a problem. No excuses but the concert night brings challenges and we did cover the cost of the food. Oh and our chicken strips are quite popular.

   First time we have eaten here.....and our last. Pretty much a noisy place with average food that is a bit overpriced. Waitstaff were all friendly, so an above average rating for that. Entertainment was meh.....some good, some not so good....but overall just noisy. My wife and I found ourselves pretty much yelling at each other through dinner because of the noise level. If you like loud and noisy....this is your place. If you like to hear your table mates.....not so much. Food/presentation was average. Ordered NY strips and they were thin and had some gristle on both of our steaks. Mashed potatoes were served with an ice cream scoop and were otherwise non-noteworthy for texture and taste. Veggies came in a little bowl. Wife commented that the presentation and taste reminded her of our school cafeteria. Overall? People were nice. Food was average and overpriced. Noisy. Lots of great eateries in this area.....you can do better elsewhere.
   

   Screamers Family RestaurantResponded on May 22, 2023Hey Richard, Sorry you did not enjoy your experience at Screamers. We strive to strike a great balance between the live entertainment, which may be a bit louder than background music, with breaks that allow for conversation at the table. This way our guests enjoy a live show without having to sacrifice conversation as you would at a concert or musical production. As for our food we take pride in the quality and taste of our dishes. sorry it wasn't to your liking. Good luck and thanks for coming

   Went on a whim made reservations online and put that it was my husbands birthday. They didn’t say a word when we got there but I knew the host knew. Later the waiter/singer sang happy birthday to him. It was a huge surprise to him. He thoroughly enjoyed himself. Thank you screamers for a birthday he will remember. We may be back before we leave town.
   

   Screamers Family RestaurantResponded on May 22, 2023Thank you for dining with us and letting us be a part of the birthday celebration. So glad you all had a great time. Please remember to stop in on your next visit. Best wishes, Kevin

   Always a fun time at Screamers. The food was good and the service by our guy, Pierce, was exceptional.
   

   Screamers Family RestaurantResponded on May 22, 2023Thank you so very much Pierce is pretty great. Just graduated from college this last weekend so not sure how much longer we will have him. We hope it's a very long time but understand that our little ones must at some point spread their wings and fly. Be sure to come back soon and ask for Pierce's section I know he would love to serve, and sing for you again.

   We went on kids night and to celebrate a birthday. We were there for over 45 mins and they only sung 2 songs. They didn't invite kids on stage to sing either, which they use to do. The food is priced over other restaurants, because they provide entertainment, but we did not feel entertained. We couldn't use our gift card and didn't get my birthday discount since it was kids eat free. Very disappointing.
   

   Screamers Family RestaurantResponded on May 22, 2023Hey there, I'm so sorry your experience wasn't Amazing this visit. It sounds as if there were some misunderstandings about the discount policies, I will address this with the staff so it won't happen again. I can't imagine what could have happened with the music there is never a time where only 2 songs were played in a 45 min span. We love to sing. Please come back and ask for Kevin so that I can make this right for you. Thank you.

    Screamers Family RestaurantResponded on May 22, 2023Hey there Suzie, So sorry that your order took long. Our kitchen works very hard to send quality dishes to the table in reasonable time and the majority of the time the hit the mark. On rare occasions we miss. We appreciate your understanding and hope you will give us a chance to earn that 5th star in the near future. Best wishes, Kevin

    Had a week long reservation for a small family birthday gathering. Upon arrival was advised a church group had reserved most of the space for a religious service. No advance alert or warning was provided. With a heads up we might have changed plans. Too late to change by that time so had to sit through the lengthy service for most of our meal. Awkward and uncomfortable. Short staffing affected service. Might return again but not without some wariness.

    Some of the food was cold. Quality of some food such as the cordon blue was great while the prime rib was not. Excellent entertainment.
    

    Screamers Family RestaurantResponded on April 11, 2023So sorry you didn't enjoy the prime rib. We served over 250 guests and went through at least 4 large primes with almost no complaints. I would love to hear what you found wrong with the Prime Rib as we offer it every Fri and Sat night. We're very proud of the food we serve at Screamers. We strive to not price anyone out of the experience and feel that the quality, portions and flavor more than worth the cost. along with everything else you get at Screamers that you can't get anywhere else.

    Screamers Family RestaurantResponded on April 11, 2023Reviews such as this always leaves me wondering if anonymous is a disgruntled ex-employee or someone who thinks they have an axe to grind. We have probable the most responsive staff anywhere if there is a complaint or they spring into action to address. We know by the overwhelming "other" reviews that our food is not "terrible" if there is a particular dish you didn't care for we will replace and you won't pay for the dish. call to discuss if you'd like. Kevin 5315002550. Happy to make it right.

    Overall the place is cool, with decent food but not the quality you expect for the price. We had prime rib dinner and the seafood medley pasta. Both were lacking a little flavor but were decent. The singing was fine, just seemed more like a karaoke staff. We also had a great bottle of wine and the lemon lavender cheesecake was amazing.
    

    Screamers Family RestaurantResponded on April 6, 2023Thank you for the 4 stars. I'm sorry you weren't impressed to the point of 5 stars. I'm not sure exactly what is meant by "A karaoke staff". If you are referring to the fact that we use pre-recorded tracks I assure you that this is the only similarity to karaoke. Our singers are talented vocalists who memorize a variety of tunes in order to give a full performance that doesn't require reading words from a screen ala karaoke. Thanks again for the stars.

    We have ate at screamers family restaurant many times. Until today we have never had bad food or service! Today our food was delivered to another table and then picked up and brought to our table when the waiter realized it was wrong. Then one of our plates came with raw shrimp on it that had to be sent back! and then three of the other dishes were very bland without the normal great taste that we have had in the past! We were informed that the cook seen no point in remaking the bland dishes, because they would just come out the same way! Unfortunately, after today, this is not food that I would recommend! I did ask if they had a new cook, and was informed yes!
    

    Screamers Family RestaurantResponded on March 31, 2023Hello Kortney, Kevin here. I hate to hear that you did not receive the standard of care we strive to provide all of our guests, all the time. We've had a new Chef for some time now and have maintained our outstanding level of service and quality of food. I'm not sure where the breakdown occurred but I would love the opportunity to make it right for you. Please feel free to call me at your convenience at 531-500-2550. Thanks again for your visit and I hope to hear from you. Best, Kevin

    Food could be better. Too pricey for the quality. Prime rib was just ok. Masked potatoes were ok. Gravy was not good. Corn was not good. Salad bar was ok. Chicken strips and burger were good. Cheese curds were good. Kids meals should have regular fries. Children don’t want fancy fries. Music was good though. Service was also good.

    The burgers are huge, the salad bar is complete. The salmon is good, the steaks are done just right. The crab cakes were less than delightful, odd taste and texture. The chicken/waffle appetizer was raw in spots on the first try. A do-over got it nicely crisp, but then they charged us for both and had to adjust the final ticket when we pointed it out. A bit pricey overall, but you are paying for dinner AND a show. The server/performers are great and also very friendly. The noise level in a packed house is a bit beyond tolerable, but everyone was having a good time. I'd go back now that I know what to expect. Our server, Jordan, was great.
