Showtime Lanes Family Fun Center

Looooovvvvee this place

Took my wife and daughter here to eat. Had an appetizer and three meals, two breakfast and one dinner. Nothing was hot, and my wife's wasn't right! The only good thing was the corn nuggets and breaded cauliflower! Wont be back!

This place is awesome! Good food, service & super affordable for a family fun day. We will return for sure, the drive from Springfield is worth it.

Always good food and service. Small town atmosphere as well.nnUPDATED APRIL 13, 2021nnI needed to update this old review as I thought I had years ago...nnI eat here as often as I can for their Dailey specials are not only reasonable but tasty!nnOne of my favorites besides Wednesday and Saturday buffets (the chicken is most excellent) are the nights they serve Meatloaf (Tuesday), chicken fried steak (Monday) and spaghetti (Thursday)!nnNot that the remaining nights are bad or poor but these five nights (buffets too) are especially great.nnI sit at the counter and enjoy my meals, and sometimes visit with the other patrons. One older gentleman, Tommy Coambs(?), passed away during the recent pandemic. He would sit at the counter almost every night and watch his YouTube videos and I now learn he was an excellent basketball player, among other sports, in his day.nnBut I digress.nnSo if you're ever in Virden, Illinois, you ought to plan on having a lunch or dinner special here at Showtimes Lanes!nnPS.. TRY their soups, especially the STUFFED PEPPER SOUP.nnThe fourth picture below is of their cabbage soup which is also most excellent. The other picture is of the cook (first) and order pickup. The third is of their daily special board.nnBut the Piece de La resistance is their STUFFED PEPPER SOUP (second picture). I love it!!!nnEnjoy.

Super family friendly place! Staff are so friendly and quick to help. Worth the drive from Springfield!
