Since 1958, Parkway Social has been an icon of St Catherines, providing an entertainment destination with a little something for everyone. From bowling and laser tag, to dining in the rooftop lounge, Parkway Social means never having to choose between a fun night out – and an elegant one.
The cavernous venue, located just minutes from Niagara Falls, features a convention center, 30 bowling lanes, a large arcade and a full-service restaurant that’s so popular it’s impossible to get a table on a weekend if you haven’t booked well in advance. It’s called Ostin’s, and that’s where you’ll find the venue’s fanciest fare.
Its delectable delights run from pan-seared pickerel to classic New York steak. But there’s plenty to keep the venue’s more casual guests happy as well, like Wednesday’s all-you-can-eat wings. Each week, the kitchen serves over 4,000 wings – all thanks to a RATIONAL iCombi Pro that simplifies cooking at both ends of the spectrum.
“The RATIONAL changed how everything works,“ says general manager Tom Nitsopoulos. “Breakfast has never been easier,“ adds the GM, who says they can now knock out a breakfast buffet in as little as 10 minutes.
Time isn’t the only thing they’ve saved. With the RATIONAL’s efficiency, the restaurant is able to get an extra two or three portions out of every 300 prime meals that they serve – and that add up. “Saving 10% on a $40,000 food cost is a big deal,“ says Nitsopoulus.
