Stay away from their expensive nachos. There was very little meat hardly any cheese but a lot if diluted sour cream that made the chips soggy.

She gave lots of great recommendations! The comics were really funny. Pat and Ronnie specifically had me cackling, and the MC did a great job keeping the crowd engaged.

We will be back for more laughs!

It was our very first visit to the New Theatre & Restaurant, and we attended a December 2025…read moreevening performance of Nobody's Perfect starring the talented Jim O'Heir. He was so gracious after the show, chatting with everyone who stopped by the backstage door. We felt lucky to say hello and even snap a photo with him! The evening begins with garlic bread and salad, followed by a trip to the buffet line. There's a variety of proteins, including steak, pork, fried fish, and fried chicken, along with sides like vegetables, mashed potatoes, and mac and cheese. I wouldn't say the food is the highlight, but the overall experience and the venue itself are fantastic. Drinks and desserts (served during intermission) cost extra, though they're very reasonably priced. The audience tends to be older folks. I feel like like this is a hidden gem in Kansas City. It would be great to see them bring in some younger actors and actresses for added publicity so more people can discover what a special place this is.

We enjoyed the show Cactus Flower with Marilu Henner and the incredible John Rensenhouse. They were magical. The food tasted OK, but it was not super warm. Sometimes it's hard to keep buffet style food warm, and that was the case here. The salad brought to the table was very lovely as were the drinks and our server. It's probably not the theater experience that we usually have and I'm not sure we would return, but it was a fun time. The room is absolutely enormous, and it was nearly packed full so they are doing a great business and are recognized as the top dinner theater in the country, so it's definitely worth a visit!
