CW Bar & Grill

Another stop for the Burger Blowout! Caught a movie and figured we’d shoot over here.
All these reviews, talking about poor service had me worried. The first impression looked like it was going to be true, as we walked in and stood at the empty host’s stand, waiting for someone to address us. I walked a bit past the bar and the host noticed us and got us a seat and menus.
After that first misstep, everything else went really well. Our waitress, Brenda, was excellent. Very attentive and polite. As said above, we came here with our Burger Blowout coupons. Unlike most of the other participating restaurants, the coupons didn’t have any restrictions. They covered a full-​sized burger and fries, just as seen on the menu, which ended up being great value!
As for the food, I’d say it was pretty average. Fries were very crispy and tasty. Burger was cooked well, but could have used a little more seasoning. Nice variety of choices and toppings though.
Overall positive experience. Likely not going out of my way to go here, but I’d say it’s not a bad place to grab a bite around some movie or bowling time.

If I could give negative stars I would. I came in on a Thursday night and it was dead. I sat at the table near the bar for 15 minutes until I had to go up to the bar an ask if I ordered there or not. I ordered the buffalo chicken nachos. Was so hungry so I kept eating. Noticed there’s was a funny taste and our chicken looked grey. It is the only time I’ve never tipped at a place. I’ll never ever go back again.

Waited over 10 minutes just to be acknowledged. Watched a different group of people come in and get served drinks before I got a menu. Unbelievably poor service. They redeemed themselves from being a 1-​star with decent food on their new menu. Had the veggie burger and it was pretty good.

First and LAST Time i will eat or even Come to this establishment. The waiter is a total moron (Young kid short brown hair) and has a crappy attitude. He would be fired if he was my employee and giving customers this type of service /​experience. The food was subpar at best and really nothing good. Also, we waited about 20 min to even get seated. What a Circus show this place was and a bunch of Clowns running the show!
STAY AWAY!!!

The food is decent. But the service is never good. I am not sure why they cannot get this

Food is amazing! Service is slow but worth it since the food is made fresh! So happy to find a friendly gluten free place!

Just went to the CW Bar and grill. Definitely would recommend this restaurant. There were 4 in our party and everyone enjoyed their dinner. The choices were quite extensive. We had the waffle nachos, a cuban, chili, and a chicken salad wrap. My daughter was especially thrilled with all the glutten free options. She had the clam chowder and it was very good and then she had a breaded chicken wrap which was also great. Our waitress was very pleasant and helpful. It was especially nice to be able to go out and have everyone including my glutten intolerant daughter enjoy a meal.

Food is not good. At all. Cold, meh. Selection is awful too. It’s like the chef is trying to be an upscale resturant… but it’s not the right place at all.
Two stars only because the bartender was awesome.
Go to five guys or papa Gino’s before a movie.

Last Friday (¹²⁄₁₁) night my SO and I were at the bar and were being helped by Lori. She had a sort of attitude that gave off a (hurry up and get out) vibe. She wasn’t very aware and seemed to always space out. Later on in the night we saw her pour an alcoholic drink into a kiddie cup and drink it while on the clock. Overall the food was good but seeing as the bar tender is drinking on the job it makes it seem very unprofessional. Especially in the food industry a lot of slip ups can occur.

«Meh, I’ve experienced better» is actually the perfect way to sum this place up. I admittedly didn’t have high expectations as I believe a friend of mine had mentioned it was overpriced blah food but again, it was so close to the arcade that my daughter wanted to go to, so I thought I’d give it a shot. We ordered the hot dog kids meal for my daughter and the BBQ wrap for myself.
The place was empty. One family when we got there and no one else, so we figured that the food would come pretty quickly. After 10 minutes of waiting, they came out to tell us that there were no hot dogs available. I found this odd considering again, this place was dead. My daughter said she spotted the kitchen staff just talking and talking, so that could have been part of the problem. Roughly 20 – 25 minutes later, we received our food. Seemed like quite a long wait for basic food items and no real queue.
The wrap was mediocre at best, as were the fries. The mac and cheese was OK too. Nothing bad but … OK. It took a while to get our check and then once we received it, I noticed that I had been charged for that pesky non-​existent hot dog. The woman at the front counter was very nice and changed it for us right away but all in all, the prices were very high for «blah» food. Will likely return to play at the mini arcade and go bowling but will pass on the food here for sure.

If this place wasn’t run by a awful management like CW bar and grille I don’t know what is. Started off with a party of 7 and we had to wait about 20 – 30 minutes so playing at arcade killed off the time. Got sat and took about 10 minutes for a waitress to come over to our table to take order’s for drinks. After we ordered drinks we started off with appetizers and they took about 15 minutes to come out. French fries, Fried Pickles and mozzarella sticks. Fries and Sticks were good but the pickles were not impressive. Tasted more like grease than pickles. Waited another 25 minutes for the food to come out and me and my mother split a small buffalo chicken pizza. Waiter comes out with a plain chicken pizza. Also was stone cold as well. We told him we ordered Buffalo Chicken and the waiter said «I’ll put more chicken and buffalo on the pizza» comes back 1 minute later with drizzles of Buffalo Sauce and still plain chicken. Took it back again because they forgot blue cheese crumbles. Took my first few bites and found a piece of long hair in my pizza. Are you kidding me? Now we took it back and we said no pizza and to take the pizza off the bill. One of the people in our party got a reuben sandwich and it was pulled pork. What a mess. Manager comes out and apologizes and takes the pizza off the bill and gave us a $ 25 gift card for the bowling alley, arcade and food. These waiters/​waitress are so slow a blind person could pick up the speed. Chefs in the back cooking look slow as well. I want to eat here again because the food was decent but with the recent encounter with slow waiters/​waitress and hair in food I don’t know whether I will eat here again. I recommend coming here for bowling night and few drinks not a full blown dinner. Also the food was Expensive as well.

Came here with my son to play at the arcade and grab some dinner. Service was ok. I ordered the steak salad and a Mac and Cheese for my son. The portion size was pretty big, but most surprisingly this was no bowling alley food. It was pretty tasty! The salad was fresh and the steak was tender enough and cooked to the temperature I requested. The fried onion ring gave the salad a nice texture. I even stole a few bites of Mac and cheese from my son! No liquor this time around but the menu had a lot of options to choose from.

Enjoyed absolutely fabulous food with hubby. Chef Joe makes the best food and is such an awesome guy, makes you feel like family! Can’t wait for the Taste of the World event next week. 5 course menu, food from 5 different countries, wine paring, unique beers, and a private movie screening. Should be a great time!

Above average, reasonably-​priced burgers, fries and chili, especially for mall fare, with a surreal atmosphere that toes the line somewhere between retro and hip. (OK… it’s Lincoln. Let’s go with hip.) For entertainment, the CW offers über-​cool bowling alleys — featuring comprehensive sensory overload — and arcade-​style games kids will love. And though they were rockin’ on the afternoon we visited, the bar and dining area were nearly deserted. Here’s hoping the menu catches on.

Awful
This review is only about the bar, but I can’t see the rest being any better.
Listen, this place was created for younger people who only goto chain restaurants and just don’t know any better. It’s the Applebee’s of bowling alleys.
We went in around 4pm after shopping and grabbed a beer at the bar. Let’s see, the draft beer was flat and I had to endure listening to 5 Hootie and Blowfish (so-​called) songs. Besides this they charge 5 bucks for a Yuengling draft.
So if you like over priced bad draft beer or drinks, Applebee’s atmosphere, and listening to lame music like Hootie and Blowshits. Then you might like this place.
Tip:
Try the Breaktime Bowl in Pawtucket, duck pins, great music, cheap drinks. The alley was built in 1920.
Thanks

Came here with a group of 9. We couldn’t all fit into one lane so we need to have two. They told us that the wait would be 1 hour and 15 minutes. We waited 1 hour and 45 minutes. The management here is incompetent and need to undergo further training so that they can re-​train their employees. The bathrooms were disgusting, there was no hot water and garbage all over the place. I could not even find a manager to tell them about this. The prices aren’t that bad if you have a bigger group, being that it’s per hour. We paid for 1.5 hours and it was just the perfect amount of time to get two games in. The food wasn’t bad either. They have a server come to your lane with menus, so you can order food and alcohol right from the lane. The bar is well stocked to support even the sophisticated drinker. I will return because I think it’s one of the better looking bowling alleys in the area

Cw bar, grill and bowling is one of my favorite new places to go. They have something for everyone. Full arcade with laser tag arena, bar with full restraunt. Then on top of that a big bowling alley with a lounge and giant screens above the lanes. Can’t go wrong coming here.

We had a great time last night at the bar. Let me break it into sections for easier reading:
Food:
We had the following items: Fried pickles, buffalo chicken wrap, and the signature CW burger. I love fried pickles. These were long quartered spears dipped in beer batter and fried. Served with a spicy aioli which was amazing! I really enjoyed these although the app was enough for 5 people, we brought some home. My boyfriend didn’t like the excess batter which built up due to the shape of the pickles but I didn’t mind it. (Warning, I’m pretty sure they aren’t dairy free.) My boyfriend enjoyed his wrap but didn’t say much about it. I’ll press for more info later and report back. The signature CW burger… well, if you haven’t had it, I suggest you do. It’s a dried porcini and peppercorn seasoned burger with pulled pork on it. I got it because of the pulled pork and I’m glad I did. When I bit into it, I immediately smelled smoke. I proceeded to talk with my mouth full as I asked if they had a wood oven or something. THEY HAVE A SMOKER ON SITE. The chef was apparently sent to Texas to one of those amazing hole in the walls which everyone lines up for the meat. He studied there and came back. Woah! I found out the chef’s name is Joe and he makes everything from scratch which I truly appreciate. You can definitely tell when you eat. This is not crappy bowling food.
Beer:
Surprisingly the first thing we noticed was that they had Dogfish Head 60 minute IPA on tap. They have a pretty good craft beer selection and it rotates often I hear. I had the Ommegang Abbey Ale which was wonderful. Full bar too!
Service:
We had great bar service with Jess (?) and Cara is the one who gave me all the info on the kitchen. She’s the bar manager, I believe. Everyone was friendly and nice.
Atmosphere:
With a beautiful view of Subway, there is no doubt you are inside the mall. The place itself has plenty of space, high ceilings, and new shiny modern décor. You can see and hear people bowling off to the side and the video games whirling on the other side. But who cares, you’re probably out to have a good time anyway so these things don’t bother you.
All in all, I enjoyed my time there and was able to bring my leftovers into the theater since it’s owned by the same people. I would definitely go again for dinner before a movie. Maybe next time we’ll go bowling. Enjoy!
The kitchen serves 11am-​11pm.

For being open for less than two weeks, this place has got it all figured out! To start the bartender provided great service and even better drinks. I had the «Sex and the City» which is a Martini with Ciroc Berry, champagne, pomegranate juice, and the glass was rimmed with POP ROCKS! It was sweet but with a kick at the end-​delicious! The food also far surpassed our expectations. The loaded baked potato is phenomenal– we got ours with cheddar cheese, pepper jack, sour cream, bacon, and pulled pork! The serving was huge! We also ordered the buffalo tenders which were right on par.
On top of all that they have bowling, arcade games, and laser tag for the kids (and those of us that are just grown-​up children)!
Overall a wonderful experience and we will definitely be coming back! I highly recommend!

Hidden gem. Tucked in the Lincoln Mall, this place is part of the Cinema World complex. We came strictly for the food and drink and we’re not disappointed. At first glance you would think: typical amusement food. Nope! The food is right on. The staff knows their stuff. And the drinks are obviously hand picked. They have Sierra on tap and Delerium in a 22oz bottle. If you want a real treat, go ahead and order the Monster Stuffed Potato. Don’t be afraid to load it up with stuff, cuz the thing is ridiculous.
My 1 complaint is they need boneless buffs on the menu. They have regular wings with different sauces, but ain’t nobody got time fo dat. Nowadays, you gotta do your own boneless. That said, we order boneless anyway and she let us know they didn’t have them but they would make it happen anyways. And I tell you what, these things were nuts. They also came with a bowl of blue cheese.
Don’t be shy. Get in here and find out for yourself. Did I mention they have bowling, lazer tag, and games? Come for the quality, not for the deals.
