Miracle Hills Plaza (NW Corner 114 & Dodge)

[zippy]

I remember getting a New Year's Eve dinner at Luigi's. And a vague recollection of a restaurant staffed by Metro students, that later became the first incarnation of Ryan's Bistro. Was this the space that that Stoke's eventually got?

[ChadJK]

Is there a list of tenants for the newly renovated Miracle Hills Park?

OMG that brought back an ancient memory. My mother and I used to dine at that intimate little Luigi’s I’m guessing in the 1980s.

Only The Funny Bone and Arcade have been announced for the Plaza itself. Hawaiian Brothers was announced for the old Boston Market.

Remodel turned out really nice.

It's so much nicer! I wonder if any of the tenants across the street will move over.

[FishFighter92]

Maybe we could score a new Blockbuster Video!

Apparently Guitars and Cadillacs is going in here. The previous version predates me and I don't know if it is the same people involved with it.

Ooooh... do you think we could get another Grisanti's to open (without the food inspection issues)? We loved their food.

[nativeomahan]

Grisanti’s was a wonderful restaurant, but not located in either of these strip malls north of W. Dodge Rd. It went the way of the dinosaurs a long time ago.

Oh, I agree... it was never there. However, it was basically a next door neighbor to Guitars back in the day. Would love to see that place brought back (Grisanti's, not Guitars LOL).

Grisanti's was my favorite restaurant growing up.

And more pertinent to Miracle Hills, Cub Foods was my favorite grocery store growing up. I'd love a grocery store at 114 & Dodge.

During the Grow Omaha Lightning Round this week, Jeff mentioned big announcements coming soon for Miracle Hills Plaza.

Grisanti’s was really good. We used to go there several times a year. Seems like a long time ago that it closed.

I didnt have "Ronnie and Kix save 20 year abandoned strip mall in omaha" on my '24 bingo card

[BD PC Omaha]

Heard that the Guitars and Cadillacs deal is a no go.

[S.O.Boy]

There was work going on the old Boston Market location.

I believe the old Boston Market in Miracle Hills Park is being converted to a Hawaiian Bros Island Grill and set to open by September 2025.

Family and I went to the Draftcade here over the weekend. Pay $10 per person and you can play unlimited classic games. Most of their pinball games work currently and are really good machines. Some other classics in here that are worth your time.

We only snacked here on chips and queso and fries, but the beer options are great. They just need to make sure they have someone that can service their machines regularly because it's disappointing that their fairly newer TNMT pinball machine already stopped working.

Wonder if it died due to customer abuse or normal wear and tear? Sad thing is, new pinballs are pushing $15-$20k... they put some much tech inside of them now that it's almost inevitable they are going to break.

I could see some drunken abuse going on or even a kid tilting it. I tried to get this one to reset using the switch on the bottom, but no luck. None of the pinball machines are brand new, but they still have some excellent ones. The Super Mario Bros Pinball is great as well as Attack from Mars and Twilight Zone. I looked them up just now and am kind of shocked that these are all from the early to mid 90s. Does Stern still make brand new machines?

Stern does still make pins - Williams went out of business some time ago.

Definitely would love to have more than I do - I have one machine from the 80's. Played it at Godfather's on 75th & Pacific when I was a kid.

I actually was looking at a Mario Bros, but it was $$$$ so I passed.

[zippy]

I've got Road Show in the basement. It's a 1994 widebody from Williams with talking heads, moving bulldozer blade, and many mini-games, some of which are not very polite today. It's a good table.

Now where can I go to play new pinball machines?

The best place in town for pinball is big John’s billiards 98 and M have to take the frontage road.. they have all the newest stern releases within weeks of release.

As an added bonus, since people haven't been able to smoke inside public places in years, it no longer wreaks! However, you do get to enjoy the unchanged decor from 30-40 years ago.

Tee Box coming to Miracle Hills Plaza

Another indoor golf franchise is coming to Omaha. Tee Box will open its first location outside the mountain west in Miracle Hills Plaza, joining Funny Bone, Draftcade and Hawaiian Bros Island Grill in the revitalized shopping center at 114th & West Dodge Road.

The Utah-based company has 10 locations in Utah and Idaho.

Went to draftcade last weekend.

This entire strip mall was dead at 9pm on a Friday night.

Not a good omen if your business plan is selling drinks.

I've been there a few times and while not crazy busy, it had a fair number of people there. And there always tends to have a bunch of people go there after shows get out at the Funny Bone.

I wonder if the snow from the previous day kept people home in general.

Most of their business comes from the Funny Bone before and after shows. I pick a lot of people up there, but have never dropped anyone off there.

Miracle Hills Welcomes New Businesses & Signs Lease with National Sports Retailer

https://growomaha.com/miracle-hills-wel ... -retailer/

The big news is that Perkins has signed a lease for the former Kohll’s pharmacy corner space at the shopping center’s south entrance.

ERIK’S Bike Board and Ski, a national sporting goods and sporting apparel retailer, will occupy 10,000 sq. ft. for its first Nebraska store. Perkins said ERIK’S prides itself on being the “number one, largest independent retailer of specialized brand bikes.”

Moving forward, Perkins said he is targeting several businesses for the remaining open spaces, including boutiques, local coffee shops, a yoga studio, med spa, beauty salon, fitness center and restaurants. He’s especially interested in BBQ restaurants that could take advantage of the center’s outside patio space that features roll-up doors, a fire pit and outdoor fireplace.
