Nico was our server and he was fantastic. I really liked how they spotlighted birthdays and provided a free birthday dessert. The building is dated, but still comfortable. I'm sure the new building would be better. I definitely plan to return for another show.

It was an enjoyable experience. Came during a weeknight to see mean girls. I have been in around…read moreHoward County for most of my life and never had an opportunity to go see a show at Toby's dinner theater. Since they are now doing construction for the new building, I figured this would be one of my last opportunities to see a show in the old theater. It was easy to buy the tickets on Ticketmaster. The shows rotate every couple of months. Right now mean girls is the play for most of the summer. The price includes the play buffet and regular fountain drinks. Any specialty drinks or alcohol alcoholic beverages cost extra. Arrival was easy I didn't have physical tickets, but when I gave my name at the front table, they were easily able to locate my reservation. If you have a small group, you will be seated with the strangers that you can make friends with.. It is a very unique place because all of the staff are also the actors. So you will have to place any orders you want at intermission early because they don't have much time since they have to prepare for the second act. Overall, the show was very entertaining. You can tell there is a need for a new theater due to the age of this one, but it was still quaint. I do recommend that you tip based on the original ticket price and not just on the drinks that you get. Speaking of drinks, the prices are very reasonable. If you get the signature show drink you also get to keep the souvenir cup. For this show, it was a cream sickle that you could either get with alcohol or without. I think it was only 1250 for the cocktail that included the souvenir cup. I think I will try to make one more show this year. I know my dad would probably love it so I plan on bringing him before the summer is done.

It's a 1-man show, kept us enthralled with his intelligent, engrossing, thought-provoking dialogue about his relationship with those he loves, and the connection between love, God, spirituality, etc. Outstanding production at the Horowitz Center for the Arts at Howard Community College. Who would've thought that a top tier, certainly as good as anything in DC--was in the burbs, but it is--and well worth seeing. We've also seen a baroque music concert at the same Center for the Arts, and it was first-class as well. Check it out--less crowds, we found an excellent Vietnamese pho restaurant close-by, world class performances!

The theater is inside the school. I have only been there to attend recitals. It has 2 levels, but I…read morehave only been on the first level. The seats are tight - there are arm rests, yes, but you can't really share it with the person sitting next to you. There is not much space between you and the chair in front of you.

Food: bar food, fried, unhealthy but party worthy Lane quality: the one we were originally assigned to #15 was not working and moved to 13 Service: check in and shoe service was great, but the lady at the bar was a little harsh speaking, given it was our first time there, I wasn't aware that WE HAVE TO order all of our drinks through our waiter, so I went to the bar ordered two drink drinks and was harshly told I cannot add it to my tab , so I walked away & ...:-( ... about 20min later the drinks were brought over by our waiter ‍ Price: we paid about $100 for 5 ppl for 1 lane of 2 he with shoes, and over $100 for a mixed platter with 4 drinks, not bad for the bowling part, a bit pricey for the food and drinks. Will return & hope to receive a better servive from the bar side.

We were visiting this location on Sat., 1 August. During our visit, we noted the following…read moresignificant operational and service issues: - Scoring Inaccuracy: The computer system failed to record scores correctly. For example, after an initial roll of eight, the system would display an incorrect pin count for the second roll or prematurely record a spare. - Mechanical Failures: Bowling balls frequently became stuck in the lane, often resulting in all players' balls being trapped simultaneously. This caused significant delays and encroached upon our personal time. - Equipment Damage: When balls were returned through the shaft, they were frequently covered in dark brown or black grease stains. - Staff Professionalism: An employee--a gentleman with braids--behaved in a condescending and snobbish manner toward one of the customers in my party. Please wait until construction or renovations are complete, extremely too many issue. It will be very nice place to bowl after completion.

The wait staff was good, the band was great, and everybody was very friendly. My only complaint is that they should not serve a charcuterie board because it was the worst I've ever had in my life. There was some kind of spamlike food, a few crackers, some hot pickles, a few pepperoni and a little bit of prosciutto. Perhaps try adding some olives, some French bread, and some actual real meat versus whatever that unidentifiable food was. Contrarily the chicken wings look very good.

Found the website for this place and saw they had a Taylor Swift trivia night so I decided to give…read morethem a try! This is connected to The Collective Off Shore, hence the similar name. It's located right on the lake, which is beautiful. I came in by myself and was able to find some friendly people to talk to and sit with. The prices of the drinks and food were a bit high, I spent over $20 for one cocktail plus tip. The trivia experience was a bit confusing and over-complicated, but it wasn't a horrible experience either. If they had another event I was interested in going to, I would definitely come back, but maybe not in my regular rotation of places.

My wife and I went to see Train and Bare Naked Ladies in concert at this venue in July 2026…read more There are approximately several thousand seats under a roof and a lawn area in the back. All told, this venue seats almost twenty thousand people. The seats were comfortable and not too tight. Thankfully, there are large ceiling fans that helped move the air under the roof. The aisles were well staffed with ushers to help you find your seats. Small purses are allowed but they are checked. There are several concession stands to the right and left of the stage. Beer, mixed drinks, soda, water and food are sold at the concession stand. The food includes hot dogs, hamburgers, nachos, French fries, hot pretzels, etc There is a booth for buying merchandise. Parking is free but can be difficult. The garages are large but they are a good ways away from the stage area. Expect a long walk to get back and forth to your car and the seats The bathrooms are right next to the concession stands. The bathrooms were clean but a little on the small side. The acoustics were very good for an outside venue. The crowd was very well behaved. I rank this concert venue over the PNC Arts Center in Holmdel, N.J. The seating area is larger and more comfortable. There is better airflow as well. This a no-cash venue. I am surprised that it has only been given three starts. My wife really enjoyed this venue and recommend it

I'd never been to this venue before, but now I did 2 concerts in 1 week…read more We had lawn tickets to both and even though it was quite crowded (and there were a lot of people who seemed to expect front row seats after they walked in 20 minutes after the headliner started), the view was pretty good, the sound was great, and the jumbo-trons let us see everything. Food/drinks are stadium prices (so fairly outrageous), but actually taste pretty good and there's a nice variety of options. I've seen other complaints about bathrooms, but my experience (with just the ladies rooms) is that there were several different stations and they were all reasonably clean. My only real complaint is the weather policy. I understand it's probably difficult to reschedule artists, and if it's just raining, whatever. But continuing with shows when there are tornado and flood warnings in the area is dangerous and irresponsible. At the very least, there should be an option to trade tickets for a different show when customers don't feel safe.

The props, costumes and sets are all hand made by other people, so there is no stage-crew, focusing mainly on acting. However, there are also voice lessons that have been splendid.

I recognize that the Magic Duel takes huge pride in 5 star reviews on Yelp, which I deeply respect. But I did wish that we had seen the show in a different venue. I am no stage expert, but lights and sound do matter a lot in delivery of a magic show for a skeptic like me, going because the significant other loves magic shows. With better lighting, things would have been more "magical" (thinking bottles.) I was also surprised that a bubble artist, as good as she was in her profession, was considered a magician. After some quick research, you will end up at Magic Duel in this genre, so please go to Dupont or Georgetown.
