If so, this is the place for you! I saw this at the corner of 86th and Douglas and just had to stop and check it out because who can resist the incredible combination of Go Karts, Salads, and Games? Oh, and according to the other side of the building they also have a buffet.

Anyways, the place is called America's Incredible Pizza Co and it looks like it must be a Showbiz/Chuck E. Cheese type place. Not a very big building so I doubt the go kart track will be very big unfortunately. I just thought it was an odd combination of attractions to advertise on the front of the building...

I know my cousin loves the one in Council Bluffs I think he is around 7 or 8. From what I get is it is just like a more up to date Chuck E Cheese with better games. Not sure about the Karts but I think some may have putt putt and bowling.

Sorry, I think I mixed it up with the Amazing Pizza Machine in Omaha, but they used to live in St. Louis so I am sure I got them mixed up. They seem pretty similar however.

Is this on the SE corner of 86th & Douglas? The old Albertsons grocery store I believe...if so its bigger inside than it looks. We need a Dave & Busters and we get this?

Who's up for the official Cyclone Fanatic Go Kart race off at WhiteWater off of East University?? It's a pretty nice figure 8 track.

So has anyone here been to this place yet? We're wanting to go karting and hit some games up there but I just found out you have to buy a buffet in order to get access to any of that other stuff.

If you've been....how are the karts? Good or suck? How about the video games? Their website lists them as being all G rated, are we talking about weaksauce ticket games all around or what?

I took my 8-yr-old son last week. I had to buy a $10 buffet for me and an $8 buffet for him just to get in. At the front door I also put $10 in credits on a swipe card so with tax it was approx. $30 for the 2 of us just to enter.

The food was ok, not great, not bad. The buffet had salads of course along with everything else from pizza to chicken to ice cream.

My son thought the gokarts went way too slow and the track was tiny. But, he has a pretty darn fast gokart at home here along with a Honda 70 dirt bike so slow to him may be ok for other 8-yr-olds. The miniature golf was fun. The games are definately G rated as my son only really found 2 or 3 games he wanted to play.

We ate at the bufett when we first got there, played games for awhile, then ate again on our way out but I still don't think we got our $18 worth. Although I only put $10 in credits on the swipe card, my son struggled to use it all since the games didn't appeal to him. The gokarts were $4.50 a pop and he spend the other $5.50 on the same 3 games.

We didn't have a bad experience at all, but I doubt we'll be rushing back there anytime soon.

Thanks for the information. Did you see any of the "faster" karts out on the track? Their site says you have to be 14+ to ride those.

Not too keen on the G rated only video games. Hmm.

Is this like Chuck E Cheese where if another adult looks at you the wrong way, you can just throw down and start a fight right there and the employees always look the other way. Its like the beginning of the movie Roadhouse, but with Salads and Go Karts.
