My fiance and I went to see Sister Act today. The show was very well executed, and the performers were very good. Our service was about average. It wasnt bad, but it wasnt spectacular either. The food, on the other had was not the best. It was very bland! We had to add quite a bit of salt, even to the ham. The fish was probably the best thing on the buffet. Overall it was pretty good, but a little over priced. There is a place in southern Indiana that has great shows and the food is amazing. Their prices are nearly half of this establishment as well. It is almost to Louisville, so it may be too far for those up here.

I give a 5 star applaud for the actors and plays they show. We look so forward to going (we are VIPs for 2 yrs now) to see each show and the actors are like family to us. The buffet food is getting much better with the flavor of the fish tonight absolutely outstanding. Even the fruit didnt have the worn out taste it usually has. However, I dont look forward to using the bathroom. For anyone who goes there, please help bring up the issue of them cleaning the rest rooms. There is low lighting in there so its hard to tell. Dirt is piling up, literally piling up in the corners. No excuse. Carpets need vacummed including corners.

I don’t understand the negative reviews. My family and I have been going here for years and feel that it has only gotten better with age. Yeah, it’s a little pricey, but it’s a dinner theater. If you go to any dinner theater in any big city it’s going to be just as expensive if not more so. I’ll admit that the food can be hit and miss, but I’ve never had a meal that I thought was bad. The acting has always been above average and every show we have seen here has been enjoyable. Of course it’s not going to be on the same level as a venue in NYC or Chicago, but it’s still a good place to go for dinner and a show.

Great place to go for an entire evening to be fed and entertained. We have been here several times and have always enjoyed it each time. Some shows are better than others, but it is always a good time. You get a buffet style dinner with as many trips as you like. Desert is extra, but their offerings are tasty. The entire seating area is designed for everyone to have a great view. The wait staff is always extremely friendly and ready to make sure that you are happy. The shows are good quality and have always had a lot of energy. I recommend trying it at least once.

Took my sister and 2 sons to Beef & Boards for the Xmas play and must admitt I had not been there for about 2 years. I liked it when the stars of the show were your waiters &/or waitresses. The food was tasteful, could have been hotter and the plays of course are wonderful. I feel the owners of the establishment though are letting the facilities slack. Appears updating is in order, bathrooms and a good cleaning in general and replacing worn chairs. I will go back of course but if I am seeing this - others might as well and decide to choose a play and dinner elsewhere

The service staff are attentive and totally unobtrusive during the production. Our meal was simple but delicious. And the production! Wow! We came to see Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. This is our favorite and have seen many versions in various places. The talent on stage was certainly commendable but the Narrator, performed by Andrea Fleming, was flawless, awesome, gifted, fun to watch... We could go on. I can promise that I would happily travel and pay to see any production Andrea was featured in. A star.

Man I really wish I liked this place more . Honestly the plays are very well done but the food is just OK and the seats SUCK! The last time we went we figured out how to set so that we were not super uncomfortable but still not good. I would definitely recommend buying the seats that face the stage if you can. I have never been so lucky they sell out fast. We went for New years eve party and had a fantastic time! There band for dancing was fun. I wish they would figure out better seating I would go more often.

We went to the Ring of Fire show. The folks in the show were talented and the wait staff was world class! The buffet was mediocre, the entrance to the buffet and seating were both extremely tight and awkward. The seats are not square with respect to the stage, so you are looking 90 degrees to the side. 2 hours of this is hard on your neck. I highly recommend the box seats. There are only a few, they are in the very back, but they look straight at the stage. Value for the money is fair.

Things we liked: Beautiful table set up, love the dim lights and little lamps at the table. The performance was good. Love the way the rows curve so everyone has a good view of the stage. Things that kinda disappointed me: The food, it wasnt as good as I thought it would be. Seemed kinda dry or on the cheap side, bland. I told my waitress she could keep the change if she brought me a refill of coke. The change was $9. She kept the change and never brought me a refill.

I have had a VIP membership at Beef& Boards for at least 6 years and thoroughly enjoy the food and entertainment. After attending for a while you get to know alot of the regular performers and you can appreciate the great variety of parts that they play. We enjoy the food but the performances are the real draw for us, especially the shows with live music. Ive never left the theater sorry that I spent an evening there.

First the good things: Stage view is amazing. Sitting a couple feet away from the stage offers a great experience. The actors where amazing. The bad: Food sucks. I means SUCKS. Why they even bother with food when it as bad as this is honestly a mystery. Sound system. It could use an upgrade. Overall.. its a dinner theater with good theater and horrible horrible dinner.

Wrnt with my daughter on a field trip. Seating was stadium style with tables of four except for on the floor where they had larger tables. I thought the show was cute and the performers did an excellent job. There were several times they included the audience in the performance. All in all enjoyed the show. Trying to attend an adult show which I hope is longer than 1 hour.

The performances here are always top notch. The talent of the actors and the production values for the plays never disappoints. The food is only passable. A lot of the food is of mediocre buffet quality. It can get very expensive here compared to other entertainment options in the city. If there is a show you are interested in here, dont hesitate to go.

Saw Shrek there and had a wonderful time with the family! Food was good and the chef helped with our odd allergies. The show was well produced, but our seats in the corner werent that good. I would suggest a video monitor on the side of the band box to show a front view of stage when all action is there.
