My husband and I took our teen and preteen here and we all loved it! Everyone really loved what they got for food. We ordered cheese curds for an appetizer and they were super good! I loved the onion straws that were on my burger, and they also have great ranch. The staff here is unmatched! Everyone was beyond friendly! The ones who sung had phenomenal voices!

I admit; I never been to Screamers before today and I’ve lived in Neb. close to 10 years now, and I am kicking myself about it as I type. It was fantastic, and I couldn’t have asked for a better birthday meal and experience. From the moment I walked in to when I left I was looking around finding new stuff to look at and gawk over. Like the wall of their resident singing staff over the decades. My server Hattie was awesome. I manage a restaurant and Hattie and all the Screamers staff tonight carried themselves so well and so professionally I was blown away. I even noticed the bartender deep cleaning some shelving, and she was the first to clap for servers who finished singing. What a great coworker. All the servers I could hear giving suggestions, asking questions, and connecting with guests about what brought them out and what they were in the mood for, and also took song requests at the table! How cool is that. I ordered a medium well steak but it came out a little more pink to my liking but you know what, maybe I should start order more rare steaks because it was delicious. The Mac and cheese was to die for, and I love that my meal came with bread. Being from the south I think EVERY meal should come with a roll or cornbread, personally! I declined dessert but the fact that they have a dessert tray with all their offerings being shown during dinner service made me feel like I was in first class! The music was on point, every server did amazing, and the owner even sang a few hits - notably he was there on a day off he said and couldn’t resist - and you could tell he loves what he does and what he offers to Lincoln. I ate and paid, but the cherry on top was being told I didn’t have to leave and I could enjoy all the music I wanted, and was even offered more water and taken care of after paying. Anyways. Thanks for making my birthday special. I wish Screamers - soon to be Show Stoppers all the success in the world.

We had a wonderful time here celebrating a birthday party here for a teenager. Great atmosphere and service. Britt was wonderful! I’m interested to explore the menu a little more to find a favorite. We’ll definitely be back!

Went for the first time and loved it! The food is great and they were very kind about allergies. The portions are big and awesome flavors and variety. We really enjoyed the all the servers we had Hattie and she was so welcoming. We tried a few of the drinks that were super fun and well worth it. Over the Rainbow is so good! The performances were so fun and well timed. We will be back. This is a unique and genuine experience that needs to be talked about more! We will be back.

I had an amazing time at the Women of Broadway show tonight and already can't wait to return to Screamers for another show! The performance was absolutely incredible, the food was delicious and the staff was so warm and welcoming. Thank you for an unforgettable evening! I’ll definitely be back soon!

I found this place last night, and it was totally worth it. I took my family out for a late birthday dinner. The food was hot, had good flavor, the drinks were strong, I couldn’t recommend it more!
