The show was amazing! i would recommend to anyone looking for a great show! The food was fai and the drinks were good

Wife and I went for a night out and were surprised at how much fun it was. The team putting this together is really great. A must see.

A TOTAL BLAST! I got a bunch of my friends together for this dinner to celebrate my 31st birthday. This dinner exceeded my expectations. The staff did very well organizing this event and keeping things on schedule. I emailed them ahead to get my party seated at one table. There is a bar available inside that takes cash, card and Apple Pay. The bartender is a staff of APEX. She was a very good bartender. You can go to the bar as much as you want. We even bought bottles of wine. Dinner was delicious but they were small portions. First you start with a salad, appetizer, entree and end off with desserts. The desserts were freshly made cookies and brownies. Sooo... good!!! For the entertainment, I don't want to spoil it but the actors were very good and funny. This is definitely an adult event with some raunchy jokes. It's an interactive dinner so you will get to walk around with your drinks and talk to suspects... Go book this dinner and have fun! I highly recommend bringing a big group but a couples night or girls night is fun too. read more

We did this for a birthday event and it was a blast! The food is not the draw, pretty standard cater-waiter fare but presented in a fun atmosphere. The actors were so engaging and that made all the difference for our group. If you have the ability to bring a bunch of friends it's a good night out. read more

Awsome show..lots of laughter..review needs 85 characters to post so this is all i got........

Absolute amazing experience that everyone should do once in their lifetime! A great night full of fun and laughter as we celebrated my best friend's birthday. She has always wanted to do a "mystery dinner" and I stumbled upon this particular company. Buying tickets was easy and they are prompt when responding to emails to confirm things since we all wanted to sit together, but booked separately. Amazing actors that brought the show to life. Food was good as well at the Wyndham at oceanfront. We were able to take beautiful pictures outside before the show, so that was a big bonus! Can't give away too much of the show, but 10/10 would recommend. This was a night for the books! read more

Absolutely, hands down, amazing! If you want to do something different with friends or spouse I would totally recommend this event. Vipe, diversity, food, comedy, fellowship, all exceeded our expectations. - Jack Bondurant read more

If you want a break from your introvert personality then this event is for you BUT very low threat participation - essentially they coordinate people to kinda mingle with each other. You'll only get to really participate if you opt on the extra $30 suspect package. The show was funny and entertaining (and we like dinner theaters) the baked chicken dinner with mashed potato and green beans was decent but the salmon dinner looks way better. The service was excellent and they were very attentive. The ambiance was great getting to know other people in a fun environment. However, I was expecting the place to be roomier but it all worked out! I highly recommend this place for special occasions like birthdays and anniversaries. And the suspect package is quite worth it. read more

Great service and ambiance. A great show! Actors were entertaining and no hint was too strong to sway votes.

Went with the whole family to celebrate my boyfriend mom's birthday and had so much fun!!!

This show was so fun. Such great comedy and acting. My husband was a suspect and it was so great to see him involved in the show. The food was so good and the bread pudding was to DIE for. Great evening and great show! Perfect way to spend valentine's day and a birthday. I do have one complaint with the show but can't mention it here without giving hints away so I won't say what it is but overall it was a good experience read more

Such a fun night out. Actors were great, location is great. Story line was funny. Food was basic hotel food. Would go again. Price is kinda high in comparison to the food quality. read more

Fun! We went for a birthday and was a good time. A lot more words that are words for a review.

This was a great experience for my family. I was excited when I was called on to be a part of the show. The food could have been better but it was edible and I left full. I would go back again. read more

The Dinner Detective - Dinner Theater Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

The cast was super friendly. This was my first dinner/theatre at Granby. We arrived at the location at approx 615 (6p doors open) and the appetizers were almost gone. The waiters response to the complaint was "there will be more food served during dinner". WE had to waslk around and look at clues...The show was slow and kind of boring. The cast was interactive with the participants and at times, had us laughing. We got bored and stopped listening. Again it was an experience with my friends but I wont be booking this again. read more

The only reason why I'm not giving it 5 starts was because the bread was extremely hard BUT I had a phenomenal time! The show was great and other than the bread the food was surprisingly good. I will definitely go back for another show read more

The Dinner Detective - Murder mystery dinner #HalloweenEdition Great Show!! - Dinner Theater Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

A great time! I had a great time and even won a prize for cracking the case. The entertainment was consistent with plenty of breaks to review the clues, eat and socialized. I was suspicious of the menu but I got the chicken and it was soooo good. I was pleasantly pleased and finished it all followed by coffee and cheesecake for dessert. I'd recommend to anyone looking for a good time. read more

Group participation in a murder mystery show while enjoying a nice meal. Go with friends or family or meet new friends during the performance. read more

It was so much fun! The actors are hilarious, endure the side remarks of the audience and really get the crowd going. The food is pretty good, especially the dessert. Highly recommend if you love murder mystery's. read more

Very fun! Couldn't stop laughing. Would recommend this experience to everyone. The food and company was worth it.

We have been to several dinner theaters over the years, some with audience participation, and this was hands-down the worst. The show was confusing, the acting was amateur to the point people off the street could have presented the story. The actors presumed being overly loud would make up for the lack of talent. The humor was low-brow, appealing to the lowest common denominator. This was not inexpensive either, ($160 for two). The "dress code" was supposed to be dressy casual and that no shorts and/or T-shirts would be permitted; the website said people would be turned away at the door, but there were several there dressed in shorts and T-shirts. No pictures or videos were to be taken so we left our phones in the car, only to find out that they were needed to obtain the clues from QR-codes, and people were taking pictures and (presumably) shooting videos the entire time. On the plus side, the service at the tables was okay and servers were attentive. I would certainly NOT recommend this to anyone expecting a quality evening out, and we had gone out for our wedding anniversary. read more

I'm sorry to say we did not like it. The actors were funny and the best part, except our table felt left out. Food was not great. Service worse. Only drink you receive throughout the night is water, unless you pay for a soda or alcohol. Water not refilled, we had to go get our own pitcher. Later they had a coffee stand where you could go get yourself a coffee. Every table there had someone, or multiple people selected to stand up, participate in some way. Our table was the only one that did not. We honestly felt left out. We brought 6 in our group and it was my sisters birthday, so that was disappointing. The night started with an interrogation, where you went around and asked question of other guests. It was like a mingle, Q&A. Just FYI for others considering going, some hate this kind of thing. This felt like a waste of time. We were glad when the evening was over... and it was not inexpensive. Story line was confusing. I0 at our table and pretty sure none seated with us would recommend. read more

The actors were great and kept us engaged the entire time, definitely recommend! Not a fan of the food though. read more
