I can tell you that the Capone Show was so bad that we left really early.

Guess that takes care of Skull Kingdom!

We saw "Kim & Scott Tie the Knott" at Mystery Sleuths in October - we found it very long and drawn out and not that funny. And the food was certainly not anything special. It was terribly overpriced.

We thoroughly enjoyed Capones in 2005 and the price was about 1/3 of Mystery Sleuths.

Sleuths was so bad, we went about 3 years ago and still joke about it to this day.

I have heard that Dixie Stampede is a lot of fun, we loved Medieval Times when we did it, but that was a while ago.

I have eaten at the Luau,Dixie Stampede,Mid times ,Arabin ,And Pirates.The worst show to us was the Pirates,the show was bla and the food was worse! The best 3 Luau ,Dixie stampede,Mid Times.We are going back to Dixie Stampede for the Christmas show this year Thanks to Great ticket prices i got thru AAA south. It would be hard for me to rank the top 3 because we like them all.I mean you have to understand they are feeding hundreds of people at the same time and the food is only going to be so good.But show wise all of my top 3 put on a really good show.

We liked Arabian Nights and you can get a good deal on the tickets at this site.

I was a bit nervous using an unknown ticket agency but we just got the tickets as walk in customers and called Arabian Nights to schedule our visit.

The food was ok, the horses were gorgeous.

Totally agree about Pirates.... and to us the Arabian Nights was even worse

I call these shows "dinnertainment".

* Pirates has a great set, but the show is dull and I didn't care for the anti-woman elements in it. Not what I want my son seeing.
* Dixie Stampede has high production standards, but I also wasn't crazy about the messages in it. It seemed to be making light of the Civil War (the audience separates itself into "North" and "South" and then roots for their teams as they play games), which, as a war about human bondage, doesn't strike me as appropriate. I also didn't like having to eat my dinner without any cutlery. They literally hand you a roast chicken and a napkin and leave you to it. I don't like eating meat off bones, and I know I'm not the only one who feels that way.
* I must have caught Sleuths on a great night. The cast was terrific and I liked its intimacy. We laughed a lot and didn't feel like cattle being crammed into a stadium.
* Arabian Nights was torturously slow and the plot was so stupid my jaw went slack. The food was awful. If you like horses, though, you could probably see past all that, because the animals are gorgeous.
* The Wantilan Luau at Universal's Royal Pacific Resort (which isn't on the poll for some reason) is very good, and a lot more authentic than you'd expect. They roast a whole pig over a pit! I also like the one thrown at SeaWorld--the food is delicious there and you can feel the drums in your bones. These two probably have the best food of all the shows, too, but the shows have less of a plot than the others.
* Medieval Times is, well, what it is. Because there are so many other shows, and this one has locations across America, I'd pick another one.
* Outta Control Magic: This is the one I haven't seen. It serves pizza and sodas, so it seems designed to please kids who don't need a fuss.
* Capone's. Just plain scary. I didn't find the cast talented, and the authenticity (both food and entertainment) was in the basement. No wonder it's the cheapest one.

bump

This is a topic that keeps coming up. Anyone else have opinions to offer?

 

[earthfaries]

I didn't vote since I have only been to one dinner show. Arabian Nights which was good, but not super wonderful. The food was totally crappy

We are going to the WonderWorks magic show in 4 weeks so I am hoping that is great! I've heard good things about it
