Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre Reviews

It was my first time going to Beef and Boards, and I loved it! I hope to see another show soon.

My bestfriend, her daughter and niece's and myself went to see Steele Magnolias. It was wonderful! I've been want to go here for many many years, but it just seemed to happen. We were all greatly impressed with this adaptation. Wonderfully done! The actresses were amazing!Well worth the wait!! Can't wait to go again! The food is ok. It's not a big buffet, but theres enough to fill your belly. Little tip for newbies.. the earlier you get there the earlier you eat. Seating begins at 6 I believe, but you can line up I believe at 5 or 5:30 (not positive) They call you to dine by the time your tickets are received. We were unaware of this little fact lol. The closer you are to the front of the line to be seated, the earlier your table will be called to get in line for the buffet. Enjoy the show... I know we sure did!!

The show was fabulous but the buffet left much to be desired. The food was very mediocre. However, the service was consistent, and our drinks were refilled regularly.

We saw 42nd Street. The cast was fantastic and it was an amazing show!

Still great show, food and atmosphere. This is the first time this year but am coming back for Man of LaMancha

Always a delightful experience. Service and performance staff are always friendly. Annie was a wonderful production. One of many we've enjoyed as a family.

Just a fun night out great people usually great shows

Performance outstanding. Food fair qyality. Seating is tight.

We have gone to several shows this season. Always a fun time and a great meal!

Food was only fair. Actresses couldnt be understood because they were not talking in normal voices. Where i was setting it was cold amd i had to have my jacket on.

Really love the place but this year the show lineup was such that we didnt renew our VIP membership. Also the food menu gets kind of old.

Love the food and the plays. Haven't seen a bad one yet! I would go to every show, if i could! Makes special occasions more special. Love it!

We saw Annie. They did a wonderful job. The food was hot and delicious. I would definitely go to another show.

The buffet is acceptable and the shows are awesome. A lovely way to spend a special evening.

This is perfect if you are a senior. Buffet is horrible though.

Good food (buffet) and good shows. I've turned into my mother.

Awesome buffet, talented actors and actresses! A great date night! Become a VIP member and enjoy all shows!

We really enjoyed the dinner and show. Looking forward to our next play.

The shows are always great just don't come here for the food, it is always not so great.

The play, Christmas Story the Musical, was pretty good. The food was bad, the service was bad as well. Servers never came by with drink refills.

Buffet dinning went quickly. Extra cost for soda and dessert, which was disappointing..show was great, but the cast didnt come out after the show to mingle but maybe it was too late at night. Would definitely go back again.

We go at least two times a year if not more. The show is always good and the food is very good.

Percect place gor a date or the family they are flexible to ater to both and a very talented cast

The Productions are always first-rate! Love the plays! Unfortunately, the food in our opinion is average. Not nearly hot enough, nor very flavorful.

Typical buffet style food, nothing to write home about. The service was very good. The servers were friendly and did a great job. The layout of the theater is very accommodating. The stage show was fantastic! The performers were wonderful and interacted with the audience, making us part of the show and not just observers!

Our family loves going here to watch the shows they put on. The staff is very friendly and inviting. The seating and shows are fair and fun to watch no matter where you are. The food is never ending and filling like its a thanksgiving feast from the heavens. If you haven't went here before, I highly recommend it!

Beef and Boards has gone the extra mile to prevent the spread of covid-19 while still giving a great dining experience and terrific entertainment.
We attended the Beehive play on 7/12/20. When we arrived they took our temperature and insured that everyone wore a mask. They seated us promptly and then served our meal. I thought the whole experience was outstanding. The actors and servers wore face shields. I actually think Beef & Boards is better now than before the pandemic. It is obvious that the management cares about the customers and their staff, by the changes that were made.

The dedicated owners have kept this very nice venue operating as many in the area have not. A big thank you .

This was so amazing! The show was great! Food was delicious! The service was so friendly, and from start to finish it is a full experience. When you walk in they've got the foyer decorated according to the show, and the gift shop has the shows theme as well. We had a full range of ages in our group as well, an eight year old, a fifteen year old, a twenty-three, forty-two, and a sixty-five year old and all of us just loved it! People get really into the theme, if you want to be a little dressed up (we saw the little mermaid and wore mermaid themed outfits) people wear themed clothes so you won't stand out. All in all the atmosphere was great and positive, the bathrooms were amazingly clean, and the staff were very accommodating and friendly. I suggest this to all ages of people!

Man I really wish I liked this place more . Honestly the plays are very well done but the food is just OK and the seats SUCK! The last time we went we figured out how to set so that we were not super uncomfortable but still not good. I would definitely recommend buying the seats that face the stage if you can. I have never been so lucky they sell out fast. We went for New years eve party and had a fantastic time! There band for dancing was fun. I wish they would figure out better seating I would go more often.

I love The Garden meeting here. I have yet to dine here. I would love to though.

Took my mother and sister for their first experience at Beef & Boards. They had a blast as we watched Elf The Musical after dining on an excellent buffet. The desserts were awesome as well. Planning on attending frequently from this point on!

Saw Elf on 12/18/2018 which we assumed would be no worse than a PG film. Was very disappointed after the Lord's name was used in vain over 4 times. Other swear words were also used that weren't necessary for a kids' show. We have been to other shows including Grinch that Stole Christmas and Christmas Carol where this was not done. May not be coming back.

A wonderful place to take your wife or a date good food great atmosphere all while you are watching a show i highly recommend it

Always an excellent performance, and good value for the price of admission.

It's always a lot of fun. Decent food and a good show. I highly recommend the VIP program, it's well worth the $.

Dinner and a show has never been so entertaining. The actors are very friendly, the food is wonderful. If you have the time and money you have to come here.

Wrnt with my daughter on a field trip. Seating was stadium style with tables of four except for on the floor where they had larger tables. I thought the show was cute and the performers did an excellent job. There were several times they included the audience in the performance. All in all enjoyed the show. Trying to attend an adult show which I hope is longer than 1 hour.

We enjoyed the show. The food was not good. All the food was bland and the pasta tasted like it was microwaved too long. It really should be a cheaper ticket which we opt out of eating there.

Ring of Fire. One of the best performances I have seen anywhere in years!!

Beef & Boards is beautiful and very well run. There are not any bad seats in the House even those farthest away are close enough. The food is fantastic, the service professional and right on the spot! They only have good shows, they hire a great cast, accomplished musicians, and create imaginative sets. I've been to Beef & Boards many times and never had a bad experience, not once. Even the parking is extremely convenient.

Performances are amazing. We have gone twice now and both times the show blew us away. Food is mediocre and they cram too many people into the place to be comfortable.

Management went above and beyond to accommodate for our peculiar circumstances. Thank you! Dinner was great. Show was enjoyable. Performers had really good voices.

I loved beef and boards if you get there on time you will have just the right amount of time to eat the show was amazing and kid friendly. Amazing effects and views.

Happy 45th Anniversary Beef and Boards Dinner Theatre! It's an amazing experience each and every time I have an opportunity to come. The entire staff is so friendly and the entertainment is top notch!!!

The buffet was mediocre at best. Golden corral was better. Yeah, I said it. BUT.... the performance was out of this world. Hats off to the performers. They worked so hard they were sweating, in a good way, like a prize fighter. The table staff was also on high performance mode. All in all, the show was perfect. The food was perfectly blah.

Hairspray was fantastic. Everyone did a Fabulous job

Great virus protection systems in place. Beehive was a very fun show.

The best staff ever..great food...fantastic talent!!!

Great food and great entertainment make for an enjoyable and relaxing evening.

Great place!! Buffet always awesome! Management is great! Was Soo good I bought VIP package

Loved the show (Church Basement Ladies), and the food, servers, and service were all excellent, exceeding our expectations, and at a very reasonable price. BBDT is a local Indianapolis treasure.

The food is very good high quality. Most everyone attending is dressed nicely but blue jeans will still get you in the door. The plays are quality and well put together. Fun for the whole family or date night.
