While I certainly respect the fact that everyone can have a differing opinion, I certainly hope you'll give HDD a try and judge for yourself. My family and friends and I have probably enjoyed the show more than a dozen times (yes, that's why I love being old...I forget the jokes and laugh at them all over again) and while the food certainly isn't gourmet, we've always found it to be more than palatable. I find the show to be good and corny, knee slapping fun. Hope you'll give it a try! I like being seated downstairs the best, although all of the hall is included in the action. I was told by a couple of cast members that the earlier you make your reservation the better your chances of preferable seating.
