★★★★James PayneGreat atmosphere for plays or fashion shows as in my case for the Derby Madness Breakfast Fashion show on May 2 of this year. The catered breakfast was decent and offered an arrangement of delights from biscuits & gravy, turkey bacon, fruit and even champagne.
★★★★★Janet EdlinFirst time visiting. My daughter and I had a fantastic evening. The food was excellent. The show was hilarious. The service was impeccable. All around great experience 💖
★★★Emily LopezI used to love this place! I grew up coming here with my family with season tickets.. I would love to say it was as good as it used to be, but the food was actually gross. They ran out of stuff, burnt the chicken, and the sides were meh.. The actors and actresses were just as good as they always had been, I just didn't care for the plot (but everyone is different so I didn't ding them on that!) I literally loved it as a kid, and only say this, because I would love to see it get better again!
★★★★★Tara Gardner PerryMy family loves Derby Dinner Playhouse. Buffet + a show always puts us in a happy mood. The fried chicken is a must! We miss when the sundaes were served in glass dishes, but other than that, it’s a timeless experience through the decades.
★★★★Susan CuneoMy 1st time coming to the dinner theater. We had a group of 9. My husband and I and his college friend sat at table 37. We had some lovely guests sitting next to us that we pleasantly enjoyed. The only disappointment we had was the pork loin was tough, the chili was watered down and was bland. Otherwise the service was excellent, the show I cannot stop talking about. Loved, loved the show. Definitely will be coming back!!!
