Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre Review

An Indianapolis classic. Always put on a fantastic buffet. Staff is swift and polite. Perfect for date night or Celebration with your favorite daughter.

Always have a great time but dessert is the best part of the meal.

Food is ok. Entertainment is great. Totally worth the price of admission. I've been there three times this year already. Please go and see for yourself!!

We just saw Buddy Holly at beef and boards and it was the best performance I have seen on stage.

We went to see elf. The show was amazing. Great actors and actresses. We really enjoyed it. The food was just ok. A little bland and some things were lukewarm, but the desserts were delicious. I would definitely go again just for the plays. Give it a try, you wont be disappointed.

The best dinner theatre in the country. Awsome buffet and shows

My boyfriend and I have a VIP membership. We love having it as a built-in date night. So enjoyable. The coffee is SOOOO good and we love the food and theater aspect. Such a great time.

Everything is outstanding, the food the actors and actresses. Great time!

The shows are well executed, but the space is so limited, and all they do are musicals. But the worst is their food bar. My 10 year old granddaughter can't find anything that she likes to eat except rolls and butter and chocolate pudding. Even my husband, who eats anything, can't eat most of it either. AND the BEEF (as in "Beef and Boards") should be prohibited. Dry peices of leather that have no flavor and can't be chewed.

Went to see Into The Woods on my birthday. Very good production (except one character.. but we can't all be perfect..) and excellent dinner. We will definitely be back!

Great theatre, but the buffet has room for improvement. Good service.

Ring of Fire was FANTASTIC!!! The cast was so musical and talented!!!

Have never been disappointed at Beef & Boards. Just watched "Annie" , excellent show, great cast, even the dog did a good job! Food is good, I would not say excellent, but good. Service is very good too! If you can swing the extra money, the two-person booths around the outer edge are worth the extra space

Buddy: The Buddy Holly Show is the best show ever!!!!!! The singers were phenomenal!!!!!!!! It was as good as any Broadway show I've seen.

We LOVE Beef and Boards! We have been members for a couple of years and they have never disappointed. Its a great date night and they have family and kid shows to expose the whole family to the awesomeness of musical theatre.

Great place to go for an evening if you are going down to Indianapolis or already live there. Nice buffet style dinner before the show and waiters and waitresses deliver drinks and desserts during the show intermission....My wife and I go to Indy two or three times a year and we always try to make a performance here. Also great seating, not a bad seat in the house.....plenty of parking!

Good buffet and good live shows.
Good waiters always keep tea glass full.
Enjoy going about once a year on special occasion.

The show was excellent. Everything else was awful. They say is with strangers. The menu on the table was wrong, none of the buffet was labeled. And the waiter was rude and unattentive.
I would NOT recommend this place.

What a lovely place! Beef and boards keeps alive the magic of theatre. It indulges my love for anything upscale, high society, and fancy while keeping it still affordable. I went with two girl friends, and we had a lovely time and enjoyed ourselves. The food was good, but the dessert was better.

We love this place! We try to come every time we are in town. Good food and great service.

Took my two girls (ages 9 and 11) to see the family production of Annie. The doors opened at 6 and we got there about 6:10. Walked right in and ware taken to our table. We were greeted and made to feel very welcome by every staff member. Our waitress came to take our drinks and tell us how things were going to go within 3 minutes of us sitting down.
The buffet was wonderful. There was a great selection for the salad bar w fruit. They served food for both adults and the kids. The food was hot and kept clean. Prices for the special drinks were under $6 and we opted to get dessert for $4.75 at intermission. Delicious!!
The play itself was absolutely wonderful! All the actors were great. The music was right in tune. It kept everyone s attention for the entire show. We will definitely be back!

Great food, great service and great shows. I always lookf forward to going to another show. Definitely recommend this place even if it is on the pricier side. Definitely worth the money.

The board (Mama Mia) was great but the beef (all meat but chicken) was horrible. The veggies & cheesecake were tasteful.

So much fun for our family reunion. Food, service and show were great! Only complaint is was it was freezing!!! I'm sure the temp is cool for the performers. Definitely going back and we'll take a sweater!

Good assortment of food ... food was fresh and plentiful... service was excellent ... 42nd street was fabulous

What a wonderful experience! It started with a quality buffet meal including fish, chicken, pork and roast beef, vegetables and salad then a wonderful show. At intermission coffee and desserts then the completion of Mama Mia. The music and the actors and actresses did a fantastic job! This was the first of many shows that my family and I will be attending. I highly recommend this experience and get the premier package because it is worth it.

Food just OK, BUT tables arranged so friends could enjoy the wonderful show...talented performers!!

We love Beef & Boards theater. the prices are unbeatable for dinner AND a show. The performances usually knock it out of the park. The four-top tables can be a bit tight on space, so you may find it worth splurging for a two-top. Servers are also excellent.

I have seen several live musicals here, the best being Mamma Mia and Beauty and the Beast. Always entertaining.

We came to watch the "singing in the rain" with my son's high school choir. It was awesome all the kids loved it! If you haven't been to Beef & boards u need to. This was my third time here and making plans to come back already. Everyone was amazing see you soon!

Buddy Holly show was great! Would recommend seeing it!

Far and away the premier place to get the best of Broadway at the best price. The quality of service is second to none, and from the top down is a first-class establishment. Will keep you coming back time and time again!

This theater is knowingly putting everyone's lives at risk but increasing the chance of anyone in this place contracting the virus for no reason. They also ignore and delete the very people speaking out against the issue instead of addressing it. Would not recommend. Very high chance of catching COVID19

Saw ghost. The acting was so good . Very entertaining

The performances here are always top notch. The talent of the actors and the production values for the plays never disappoints. The food is only passable. A lot of the food is of mediocre buffet quality. It can get very expensive here compared to other entertainment options in the city. If there is a show you are interested in here, don't hesitate to go.

It's a great place to come with your date or your family to enjoy a show and have a good meal.

This place is consistently above average. The wait staff is friendly and efficient. We had a table of four for the Buddy Holly Story. Wow!! The play was outstanding! The actors did a superb job. The actor playing Buddy Holly, sang and played better than the originals you can find on line. Beef & Boards consistently does a great job, but this time, I think the production was the best I've ever seen at B&B.

I've been here twice with different plays. The food is really good but seating is a little tight but that is definitely not a deterrent from wanting to go back.

Always a good show and food. If you've never been, you need to check them out and I'm betting you'll return!

Food was delicious, staff was delightful, and the show was very good. I want to go again to see some of there upcoming shows!!

Went to see Cinderella. Great production & very helpful staff.

Love this place. Food is good, and shows are awesome. Decent price for living shows.

I've seen many shows here for years, and I always enjoy it. I got to see The Little Mermaid during their dress rehearsal. It was awesome! It's great fun for the whole family. If you're a fan of the Disney movie, you'll love this play.

We saw Mamma Mia, it was amazing! Wait staff was great. The cast was perfect and the food was delicious! I plan on going back soon!

Great welcoming staff and good food. I always know I'm in for an awesome time.

Wonderful evening, good food, great service, and fantastic show.

I normally like my trips to Beef & Boards but this last trip to see Annie was not up to my expectations. The buffet was pretty decent. The dessert was excellent. BUT this production used profanity at least ten times. My husband and I filter out heavily what we watch and listen to and I was appalled when I heard the relative cussing. It was unnecessary and makes us not want to return.

Steel Magnolias was incredible!! The food was dee-lish and we'll definitely be back.

Every time I go to Beef & Boards it is always a delightful and entertaining experience. Excellent food. Great theater.

Been going here for years and I'm never disappointed. Good food and a great show. Cast and servers are amazing. One of the best dinner theaters I've gone to and you should definitely get tickets months in advance to get a good seat.

I go here for school every year, and I love it everytime.

Superb place , amazing staff and musical was phenomenal

And they have a church service on sundays that start at 915 am

Always a blast to go, enjoy the food and wonderful plays they put on. I've been a few times and every time has been a treat.

Great show!! I saw Hairspray and it was fabulous!! The beef and some of the food was great! Some was not. The show itself was really good and exciting..

Love this place. Love our VIP membership. 7 wonderful dates with my husband.

The buffet is very good with lots if choices, and the shows are top notch. If you can't go to Broadway this is a good substitute.

Nice show but wish the tables weren't so small and crowded together and the chairs were more comfortable.

Best musical theatre show in Indianapolis! The cast for Grease was amazing, the food was delicious and the staff very kind and on it the entire night! Thank you for the wonderful experience on our 13th wedding anniversary!

Such an excellent time at the little shop of horrors!
