The food and service here were absolutely fantastic. The actors and actresses did a phenomenal job! Our server was very consistent even though the restaurant was super packed. The food came out great and we left stuffed. We made a reservation at 7:30 and was taken to our table at the exact time. We had great seats for the shows they were putting on too and they sang us a happy birthday which was hysterical! The ambiance and the people working there are wonderful. I'd recommend making a reservation here! We paid $180 for two people but we ordered alcoholic drinks. It was worth the experience and I'd come back again read more

We headed up to the city for an early dinner. Reservations and reminders stating to arrive 15 minutes early. However, when we arrived and walked in, we were rudely told "we are not open!" As to which we replied we have a 4pm reservations. Met with give us 15 minutes and were basically pushed back outside. Luckily it wasn't raining cause I definitely would be mad. So, that was a turn off right away and not the best way to start our dinner experience. It is NY so parking is an absolute nightmare. Around the restaurant is all 2 hour street parking. So, you're required to arrive 15 minutes early, everyone in the party has to be there. So time everything accordingly as much as you can. We were not brought inside till 5 after. Host reminded us they are very busy and there's a 90 minute time limit for your reservations. If I wasn't going to be charged for canceling I would left. Tim was our server. Greeted us right away and very pleasant!!! His complimented everyone the same way so it definitely was not authentic. Explained the menu set up. Order was in by 4:12pm. Music was extremely loud to the point you couldn't have a conversation with your table! Had a headache leaving!!!! Appetizers came out at 4: 23pm. I ordered the The Healthy Death and hubby got the Mac and cheese. Mine was just bland. No seasoning what so ever. Didn't even finish. Took two bites and left the rest. However the Mac and cheese was packed with flavor. Very creamy! Pasta was cooked perfect! Main course came out at 4:32pm. I ordered the vegan bolognese and he ordered the filet with the mashed potatoes. Nothing is seasoned at all. Had to ask for salt and pepper. As a vegan dish, was it horrible, no. His steak was cooked to temperature. No seasoning. Mash was dry and again no seasonings what so ever. Dessert was ordered at 4:49pm and came out 4:54pm at I ordered the dread pudding without ice cream and he got Sandy Sweet Dreams. Bread pudding had a very fudge-like texture. Blah. His cookie was horrible! The name fits it with it saying Sandy. The over all ambiance is dark and mysterious. Hold true to the name. However, once inside you see how rundown . Vent was covered in dust. There was splatter on the walls. Literally used my napkin to try and wipe it off. Everyone was sticking to the floor. The prices / menu is fixed at $60. However you can have upgrades and or changes for a small charge, which is nice. There was a short little magic show which was cute and entertaining for the guests. He looked the part of that can make sense. A Wednesday Addams came to the table and was in full blown character as well. Didn't stay long and had the same speech for everyone. So maybe make it more personalized to each table. Over all after waiting for almost two years to finally get here very disappointed. Would not come back. Almost left in tears. read more

We had such a great time at Beetle House! We were able to get a reservation at 8:45 so that we could see the 9pm show. My little one loves Tim Burton movies so i thought she'd really enjoy this. The ambiance was very cool. They let us take pictures all over the restaurant. The characters that night were very interactive. They even took our phone to take a pic of us and then started taking selfies which my little one thought was hilarious! The food was good and didn't take long to arrive. The drinks were also good. We'd definitely be back! read more

Not gonna lie, this place was actually more fun than I thought. A friend and I only did a walk in and so stayed in a bar area, but that huge fish bowl drink (fun, overflowing, filled with the best candy--nerds and Swedish fish) was $15 and was made into a mocktail on request. That's already cheaper than the cheapest mocktail at paradise lost next door. It was almost pure sugar so a bit much for me but also part of the fun. Got a bar seat easily and was attended to by the friendly staff. The references, fanart, and decor all throughout are fun. And the back oddities area smells nice! One standout thing was that jack skellington came around to talk to not just the kids but to us. I usually find that annoying but the guy had the voice down and had a lot of fun in-character banter. read more

The stars are mostly for the entertainment, decor, and vibe. The menu is weird...appetizers are sides, etc. The menu is not extensive, which is fine. Stick to burgers, which were actually juicy and good. SKIP THE MAC at all costs! To be safe, have a burger and a beer and enjoy the entertainment read more

Lots of fun! Food was delicious. Entertainment was very enjoyable. They gave us a private show at our table.

Visited the Beetle House while in NYC for Thanksgiving and it was WICKED good! My teenage daughter loves theater and Beetle House was perfect with select staff in full character from Sweeney Todd! The food was fantastic as well! With each of us having a different 3-course entree! If everyday is Halloween for you this is your place! read more

Staff was impolite. My drinks tasted off. Place was not clean. Ambiance could've definitely been better

I loved the theming of this bar, especially for Halloween! The decor is super fun and they even had live performers dressed up as Jack and Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas while we were there! We just sat at the bar, but you can get reservations for tables that I think is a pre-fix menu. The negative was definitely the quality of the drinks. For the price, they were pretty sub-par. You can get much better craft cocktails for this price at other places in the city. The presentation with the fog was fun so all the drinks looked like they were smoking, but it didn't make up for the artificial tasting drinks. We split the fish bowl and I had the apple cider drink. Out of the two, I prefered the fish bowl. This is a fun spot to go if you like Beetlejuice and spooky vibes, but I would only stay for a drink and then go elsewhere. read more

The food here is surprisingly delicious for a themed restaurant. Just check out their menu and trust that you will want to come here. The service is amazing AND entertaining to boot. The entire staff stays in character as you take in the world of Tim Burton. We came to celebrate a birthday and did the whole cosplay Victorian steam punk thing which delighted the staff. Walking in, you're greeted by Wednesday Adams--and so the dinner show begins! Our server was Mrs. Lovett (from Sweeney Todd) and she was wonderful! She serenaded us with "By The Sea," chatted up our 12 year old and gave her a mini rolling pin--a nod to London'd worst pies. There is a set price of $60 per person over the age of 12 for The Poltergeist Feast. This includes your appetizer, entree, and a dessert. I ordered Boogie's (as in ANBC's Oogie Boogie) Braised Bacon over grits, the Sweeney (as in Sweeney Todd!) Beef complete with a barber's razor on top, and a Willy Wonka Vanilla Sundae. I had to take that dessert home because I didn't have room after my appetizer & entree. I took pictures but it was hard because lighting inside was so dim. The flash just ruins how entertaining the plating is. Reservations are preferable so go to their website and find a group of friends to go with and experience this dinner theater for yourself. Good Times are ahead! Maybe I'll see you there because we're definitely coming back. read more

I went with low to no expectations and was pleasantly surprised! The menu was creative and every dish was flavorful. They also hold little shows while you eat, so you receive entertainment from performers dressed like characters we all know and love. I went with a group of three and we all tried different dishes so we could share. I would definitely return. We paid $69 each for an appetizer, entree, and dessert; we were beyond full! The customer service was amazing and accommodating. We were running late and the hostess call to verify if we were still coming and prolonged the show for us to be able to enjoy, which was great since it was our first time here. read more

They have a lot of really interesting drinks here. Some of them are definitely strong like the Edward's Lemonade so be aware of that. That's a good thing though because I've been to many other NYC restaurants or bars that served less boozy drinks for the same price or even more. The prix fixe menu dinner was also good and the nightmare before Christmas characters were very entertaining and super friendly. Would definitely recommend if you're in the East Village. read more

So my husband was stalking their reservation list and was lucky enough to get us in on 10/28 at 5:15pm. Soon as we got in the halloween spirit was definitely in the air. The details of decorating this restaurant is beyond spectacular! The place needless to say was a packed house. We got seated within a few minutes by this lovely hostess. We got to sit in the back room which was very nice as well. This is definitely dinner with a show. The staff were in my opinion like professional actors and actresses! Beetle juice and Wednesday were the best, great dance moves and totally in character. Wednesday was definitely channeling her inner Wednesday lol. The mock tails and food were good and the set up for the food was very well thought out! This whole restaurant is a vibe and I'll definitely be back next October! Thank you all for the amazing night out and delicious food and drinks! read more

Came here during the Halloween month of October and it was so busy, we got a reservation from a wait list. The line for check in was pretty long, Alize made it painless with her great customer service, even though we were seated 30 mins after our reservation time. I recommend coming in earlier than the time you would be hungry. We ordered from a prefixed menu. For appetizers we tried the Boogie's Braised Bacon which is a small piece of Braised Smokey Pork Belly on a unique Bed of Cheesy Grits with a Maple Glaze. We also tried the Cheshire Mac & Cheese. For entrees we had the flavorful Edward Burger Hands, Topped with melted pepper Jack cheese, smoked bacon, a sunny egg, avocado, roasted red peppers, lettuce, tomato, drizzled with sriracha aioli, and finished with a pair of beetle house scissors which we got to keep. We also had the tender Sweeney Beef, an 8oz filet mignon served with garlic mash potatoes, finished with a razor we got to keep. These are the only two entrees that come with keepsakes. For dessert we had chocolate cake and an elderberry tart served with raspberry sorbet. All the food was surprisingly more delicious and I could have imagined. I also enjoyed several drinks. While we were eating there were great performances going on from actors portraying characters from a few Tim Burton films. This was overall a truly great experience I recommend you try! read more

Upon arriving, we got a bit nervous due to the line out the door. With that said, we had reservations and went inside and looked for the host, gave our reservation time, and had to wait a bit to be seated. But the performances kept us engaged while we waited. The place was bustling, especially due to holloween. So, definitely make a reservation. We sat and had what we wanted to order pre meditated. We enjoyed everything we had here, and the drinks are creative! The plates are picture worthy. The Sweeney beef and the Edward burger hands we can say are to die for lol. I would definitely keep my eye on beetle juice around your lady he's a trickster, lol. The staff and performers did a great job. No complaints here. The restaurant is very florescent in color or should I say black lighting and energetic! I would definitely come again. It was a fun and interesting night. read more

Such a unique and fun place! The ambiance is some of the best I've seen if your looking for something whimsical and spooky. The actors were all so great and interacted with the customers a lot! They all clearly loved they're jobs and you could tell. The food wasn't anything to write home about but was pretty good, a little pricy though. There's also an automatic 18% gratuity that's added to the bill that doesn't act as a tip to the server but to the entire staff. This isn't mentioned anywhere else other then when you actually sit in the restaurant which felt a little icky. But other then that who doesn't love Halloween year round! Great place overall read more

Went here for Halloween dinner and it was my first time being there. Love the spooky decor that is all Beetlejuice themed. Some light entertainment from the ghost with the most himself as your host. Ordered the peach salad for starters, was tasty and fresh. Followed by the main course, Sweeny Beef, it was cooked medium rare as requested served in a fun dish with blood splatter (radish dressing). Dessert was amazing too, the bread pudding topped with pistachio icecream. The drinks were all fun and very well prepared. No watered down drinks served there for sure. read more

The bad reviews are false! I've been wanting to come to this place for a very long time. I booked reservations to go on Oct 13 (Friday the 13th) about 2 months ago. I was nervous after reading bad reviews but The server was hands on, the actors were in character at all times, the food was surprisingly soooo good! We had the 3 course meal-Mac & cheese, i had the steak; my friend had the burger, and we both had the willy wanka ice cream dessert. We both also had cokes. Bill was $171 for 2 with taxes and gratuity. Our server was super friendly and the service was great. Highly recommend read more

we came in tonight , greeted by an unpleasant hostess, some how our reservation got messed up and she made it seem like i was a massive project to fix. Her hosting skills were lacking. We sat had Amanda as our waitress she was the only saving grace. I spilled somethin on my shirt and used one of the cheaply dyed napkins to try to get it out when in turn the cheap crappy nakin turned my white shirt black ruining it. Not to management get better napkins people use then to wipe up things including drips on clothing. I called amanda over explained to her what happened. She brought me a white cloth napkin and some seltzer. I tried my best to get the stain out, but my shirt was ruined. Disappoint it was a brand new shirt. The food was subpar best and the drinks were lacking. everything But amanda was horrible. wouldnt return ever. read more

BEWARE!! Myself and three others came here for our friends birthday. We arrived a bit early for our reservation so we sat at the bar and ordered a round of drinks. The bartender was very kind and even did magic tricks for us which was awesome. When it was time to sit down for dinner we closed out at the bar and the bartender handed me the tablet with the total cost presented. There was no mention of an 18% gratuity already tacked on, so i unknowingly tipped an additional 20%. I didn't realize this until the morning after when I checked my email for the itemized receipt. As fun of an experience as it was, I was not looking to tip 38% on already overpriced drinks that were extremely weak. We did the $65 fixed 3 course option, the food was surprisingly good and the performers were wonderful. When it was time to pay for dinner, same thing as the bartender, the waitress presented us the total cost on the tablet. She said she was going to "break down" what that number included, she mentioned tax, the 3 courses, and our second round of drinks but no mention of the automatic gratuity added on. In total , my group ended up being deceived into tipping 38% on both drinks and food. Upon this discovery, i looked on their website which includes in small easy to miss print that an 18% tip is added on to every bill. I understand that this may be used to tip the performers as well, but i believe this is scammy business practice to not fill in guests on the auto gratuity. I worked as a waitress for over 5 years and always informed guests when tips were automatically included. The ambiance was great, the food was great, and the performers were awesome but this deceptive practice really retroactively ruined the experience for us. I like to believe i'm a good tipper but in this economy being tricked into tipping 38% on an already high bill feels really crappy. read more
