Went to an event and LOVED it! The dialogue was hilarious and very interactive. The show crew were great at throwing in some improv jokes here and there keeping it really fun. The format of the "mystery investigation" allowed for a lot of good laughs from everyone including the show crew. The food was delicious, both the chicken and prime rib I had were cooked spot on. If you have a group you want to have some major laughs/delicious food with I'd definitely recommend The Mystery Cafe for your event!

What a great show! We had Mystery Cafe for a company party (36 people). The cast did a great job playing the parts and getting people to interact. They had us laughing the whole time. Would definitely do it again. The food as well as the wait staff of Majestic Oaks was all awesome. Everyone loved it, thank you!

What a great experience! If you get a chance to experience this show it's total worth it! The cast is great, food is exceptional! Dan Rooney stole the show! We met Dan a few years back and he said if we were ever in the area we should stop by and check out the mystery cafe. We have a couple of college kid so we thought we could try and do something different with them. It was fantastic. If your like us and wondering what to do with high school or college kids. Check this out! So funny!

It was fun to see the boss get killed. I thought the performances were all humorously executed by the actors. Everyone at our table enjoyed it thoroughly. The food was tasty too!

My husband and I enjoyed our date night out at the Mystery Cafe, the cast was fun and engaging and we really enjoyed trying to figure out who the murderer was. The cast was a very talented group of people who both put on an entertaining show, and served our dinner too!

It was a delightful evening, complete with a nice meal served by the actors with a dose of humor & clever ad lib comebacks. It was fun to play along & try to solve the mystery. Acting was top-notch & audience participation was a bonus!
