Written by the company
The Dinner Detective is America's largest interactive true crime mystery comedy dinner show! Solve a hilarious and engaging mystery while you feast on a fantastic dinner. Just beware! The killer is hiding somewhere in the room, and you may find yourself as a Prime Suspect! Our show is very different from traditional true crime mystery dinner shows. We will hide non-costumed actors in the audience that are pretending to be part of the crowd. This results in a much more social and interactive evening than with other shows. Our shows are set during the present day and take place in real time. Over the course of the night, our costumed Detectives will uncover clues, interrogate audience members that may or may not be part of the show, and help everyone get closer to solving the mystery.

It's better that having to sit through "CATS"
The show was more entertaining than I expected. I went in with low expectations of the food, cast, and plot. The food was OK. Picture yourself at your cousins' wedding... that's the food.
The cast was way better than I thought they would be. The show is more "Naked Gun" than "Sherlock Holms".
The two male detectives were engaging and really worked to keep the crowd into it. They handled a little heckling fine and in good humor. The host (Carmen) was great.
The plot was just stupid. most of the room had lost interest in the actual plot and was just enjoying the drinks and cast.
So... If you had to choose between "CATS", being stabbed, or seeing this show, go to the Dinner Detective.

Thank you so much for joining us!
Fun Time; Well Done
Good food, good atmosphere! Wonderfully acted by those 'in the know' to throw us off. I talked with someone who ended up 'dead' and I had no idea that they were part of the cast. They did a great job of only calling out people who were okay with being called out - even if they were a paying customer. The food was delicious and the service was professional.
