Although it is listed as being on Fourth Street the actual location is now at the Tempo Hotel by Hilton on East Jefferson Street in NuLu. We actually received this as a gift from friends. It's a bit over the top and corny but some parts of it are humorous. It is interactive and you are taxed with solving the murder. There are actors among us who may be the culprit. In fact the murderer was eventually discovered at our table along with the clever young lady who solved the mystery and won the prize. The food was just OK and the dessert was meh. Service was very good and please tip the staff/actors accordingly. Unfortunately we were unaware that the NuLu Bock Fest was going on this weekend so parking at the hotel was a hefty $42(event parking). Ouch. Street parking was nonexistent and other pay lots were just as expensive as the hotel. On the bright side the Tempo Hotel is quite nice, staff friendly, the dinner is on the 6th floor with a view of the NuLu district. read more

The Dinner Detective - You are given a choice between fish, chicken or a vegetarian meal. - Dinner Theater Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

See all

The acting was amateurish, most time was spent talking to people at your table and the food was served cold and over several minutes depending on what you ordered. The first person receiving her entree was 10 minutes earlier than the last. There was a venue change from when we bought the tickets which was far less desirable than the original venue. It was a special occasion and we were very disappointed. read more

I have been to several dinner detective mystery dinners in other cities. This one was nice. I would say it was a 3 compared to others I have attended. The service and actors were nice which I will bump the whole experience to a 4. They even took pictures with us in the end which was cool. I did go with extended family members which helped make it fun. I think it was more of the location and room which made it seem cold, but still ok. It was like going to a conference, not like going to a dinner. I do think it is enjoyable and it's an experience one could enjoy if they haven't already. read more

After the first time going with my wife on Valentine's Day, we decided to have our LMR Christmas Party there. It was a fantastic time and everyone had a great experience. The "Suspect" package is worth the extra bucks if you book early enough to get in on it. You have to go knowing this is supposed to be "campy". It is NOT Shakespeare - more like a mix of a soap opera and 1960's Batman. They are engaging and interactive - and kind of corny - just want you would expect in this type of environment. You will have the MOST fun if you throw caution to the wind, have an awesome code name, create an outrageous occupation for yourself and just play along (I was a cat taxidermist who sold my service exclusively to old ladies on ebay - everyone I talked to knew I was lying but didn't know WHY and that made me a Suspect). If you won't play along, you may as well just do Netflix. The food was better the first time than the 2nd but was always good. Its a little on the pricey side but get a Groupon and make it a date night. You owe it to yourself to try it once. Have fun! We'll be back. read more

Definitely a very unique experience and something my family and I have not done before. Thanks for the great experience Definitely one we will talk about for a while down the road. read more

Great dinner and show event. Great to do for an interactive fun family or date night. Highly recommend

The actors and actresses were fantastic! I got 《《《《《EXACTLY》》》》》what I came for!!! It was delightful and HILARIOUS I'm so happy that art forms like this still exist! If you like live entertainment, you're going to enjoy this! read more

Great time! Audience participation isn't required, but you'll have a lot more fun if you're willing to get into it and play along. I was too busy laughing to solve the mystery (that's more my wife's thing). Food was great. We had a blast! read more

The show was fine....while it lasted. We were at a non profit fundraiser that featured The Dinner Detective as entertainment. The program was running a little behind as people were telling their heartfelt stories to raise money as typical with such event. I guess we hit the time limit and the actors just left in the middle of the show. We were all just sitting there confused and flabbergasted that anyone would do such a thing!! They did not even make anyone aware of their exit, just walked out. We thought it was part of the show but after 30 minutes it was clear we would never find out "who done it!" read more

I had a blast at the show. My husband and I don't get out much since we had our first kid, and this was definitely worth it. I secretly made my husband a suspect, with no prior knowledge of how they would use him. He chose a punny, vulgar name that fit in so perfectly with how they used him in the storyline! I can't wait until I can do it again with a new story! read more

This is such an awesome show and fun experience! A wonderful date idea or just an evening out with friends. The cast is amazing and make you feel like you are part of the show. I will definitely be going back and highly recommend to anyone! read more

So much fun! Really felt immersed in the show. Different than other audience participation shows as they included all of the audience in the show in some way. More like a game of finding out whodunnit. Actors were terrific-funny and great improv to go with the type of audience along with the script. Kept you guessing. Would definitely do again! read more

After reading these reviews on Yelp, we decided to take a chance on this venue, but couldn't have been more disappointed! The acting was horrible - the worst I have seen in a long time - and to top it off we had purchased a "suspect" package and they mistakenly chose another patron at our table who looked nothing like the picture we had given them. One saving grace was the food and the wonderful Embassy Suites staff - top notch. Save your money and enjoy dinner at one of the wonderful restaurants in downtown Louisville instead. read more

The show was very entertaining. I went with a large group for my sister-in-law's birthday and we had a good time. The one star is for the food not the show. The food was horrible. It was cold, tasteless and my chicken parmesan was soggy. I was still in disbelief when I got home so I looked up reviews for the show and seen that there are a couple of reviews on TripAdvisor that say the same. For the $125 my husband and I paid total I'd at least expect a hot meal. I also noticed when I got up to use the restroom that they were dipping the food out of large plastic tubs just sitting on a regular table. It is a shame because the show itself and the night out with my family was great. If they could prepare something edible to serve they could really have a good thing going. read more

Meh. First, the actors try hard, and I thought they did a decent job when acting. However, there wasn't a lot of acting. They pulled a lot of audience members and did random things. The story line and clues MADE ZERO SENSE. Nothing naturally connected. It was so random!!! It was good for a few laughs, but we were ready to go after an hour. Food was really good, surprisingly! read more

Bought a Living Social Voucher that expired Aug, 31st, 2015 after checking this companies website where it stated that 27 seats were still available. For the voucher they sent me to another link where the next couple shows are sold out for the month. Also there were no shows listed as coming up, which means, I pretty much would be giving them $80 of my dollars for nothing. Living Social refunded me, but this is terrible business, which says alot about the company. No longer interested in stepping a foot in that place. read more
