Circa '21 Dinner Playhouse Reviews

the building is very old, not well ventilated, dark & has an odor to it.

I took my daughter to see Mama Mia for her 17th birthday. The show was fabulous and the food was delicious. The only issue I had was the floor being so uneven and hard to walk on. I recently had knee replacement surgery and the carpet is dark so you can't really tell where all the hills are at. And make sure if you need a handicap toilet you use the unisex one upstairs because they only have low rise toilets with no handicap bars downstairs. If it weren't for the floors and the bathroom issues it would definitely be 5 stars!!

We are long-time subscribers and would never miss a show. Broadway quality shows in the Quad cities

The show's are very well produced and the food is better than most buffet style serving.

Fantastic... Can't wait to see another show...Food was great as well as staff personal...5 Stars from my group of 5..

Food was good entanment was great enjoyed it very much

We were able to see Annie! The kids did amazing! The bootleggers did a wonderful job!

My best friend and our mothers went to see Mamma Mia. We got the dinner and a show package. The wait staff was amazing, and attentive. The selection of food at the buffet was great. The drink and dessert selection with the option to have it served during intermission was perfect since we were so full from the buffet. There didn't seem like there was a bad seat in the house. By the end of the play everybody was on their feet singing and dancing. Great Memory Maker!

This is always a great evening out! The food is great, the service is great and the shows are amazing! I would recommend this to anyone looking for something out of the ordinary to do!

Staff is very helpful and friendly! The Bootleggers( waitstaff who sing and dance) are always entertaining! The food at the matinee was mediocre. The waitstaff is incredibly talented on stage and on the floor. They are so nice and take such care to make sure everyone is comfortable and have anything they need!

I love Circa 21. Entertainment and meals are always excellent.

Had a great time and the performance was good as well as the food.

Why did I just drive a total hour and half to pick up tickets only to find out there are no tickets. They will have my name at the door??? Really...Could have mentioned that in the confirmation email you sent me. Wasted quarter tank of gas and my time. Thanks!

I take my mom here every year for her birthday and we always have a great time and great food!

I love the playhouse I love the actors the chicken fried chicken was a little tough it still tasted good. But most important there was not enough room we sat at a table with six persons in the front row and there's just not near enough room for people to get in and out

Loved it!! Fabulous show! Great service! Good selection of food and yummy desserts

Had a great Birthday gift experience. Thanks Janet and the Bootleggers

Great food, great show! Fun for the whole family! I will be visiting again soon, many great acts upcoming.

The Speakeasy always offers a great time. Love the burlesque shows!! The staff is wonderful and the drinks are reasonable, so stop in and enjoy a show.

One of me and my husbands favourite places. Buffet style dinner and show in stadium style rows. The food offering was wonderful with a nice variety of meats, veggies, and gluten free sides.
We usually wait until intermission to enjoy dessert and coffee. The waitstaff are also performers and do a wonderful job! Never been disappointed.

Fun, fun fun!!!! Catch the LAUGH OUT LOUD COMEDY every 3rd Friday of the month!

For a small dinner theater, Circa has award winning plays and food made to go with each feature. Have been here many, many times over the past 30 years and will always go back.

I've always enjoyed the shows and food here! A fun experience. Be sure to check it our for date night or choose a family friendly show for a family night out!

Had a fantastic time seeing Newsies and celebrating my birthday at Circa 21. Highly enjoyed getting to know our table mates who were fabulous company. Great, friendly and talented service and good food. It is a wholly unique experience that everyone should take the time to enjoy. And the cast was PHENOMENAL! Hats off to all involved!

Always a great time. Food and performance were top notch!

The buffet was very good, offering vegetarian dishes as well as other excellent, flavorful choices. The Bootlegger's PreShow and the main show, Mama Mia, were both fantastic, featuring exceptionally talented singers and dancers. A very enjoyable performance!

The food is delicious, The Bootleggers did a great job serving and entertaining. They were doing Annie when we went, all of the Actors and Actresses were amazing, but the children were incredible!!! We can't wait to go back for Newsies.

Didn't care for the Elvis impersonator, but the food was great

Have been here multiple times and thoroughly enjoyed the experience each time. The service has always been great and never disappointed in the shows. Highly recommend.

Bridges of Madison County-it was a great production.

The music and dancing and singing is so catching. It certainly lifts your spirits! The boot leggers are friendly and the whole experience is wonderful.

Always an amazing experience here great shows,great wait staff, and bar staff always a good night

This was my very first time to experience Circa. I thought the actors were awesome in Pinocchio! I will be back soon!

Great to fun to take out-of-town friends to...!!!

The show was really good and the bootleggers are always awesome! We had a great time.

Food was ok, needed more servers, dessert should be included in price. Acting was fantastic though. Great entertainment.

always a great show with good food and awesome staff

Loved the Johnny Cash program. Very talented. Sunshine added so much to the program. She is great. Food and service wonderful.

That was so nice, my husband took me to celebrate our anniversary, and I have to say was pretty good, the service was excellent! Simply I loved it!!

Kind of expensive for the food, but the performers do a fantastic job.

Wonderful evening with a great meal and entertaining show.

Some great talent and food is great as well definitely recommend.

Wonderful show great service. Food could use some love.

Had a very enjoyable evening. The staff, the entertainers and customers were all nice. I hope to go back soon for another enjoyable time.

Momma Mia! Excellent production and cast! Very good dinner, Thank You Chef Tony! Bootleggers preshow was a lot of fun, our Bootlegger Amber was amazing!

Great atmosphere, great talent on stage, great shows. A great community offering.

Such a great attraction that has been in the Quad Cities for a long time. Awesome kids shows during the day. Outstanding night shows with a fantastic menu. You won't regret catching a dinner musical here!

The interior is very unique, service is great, food comes so quickly & is good, the play Mama Mia was superduper!

Great. Place. To. Go to get entertained. And. Eat great. Food. My. Husband. Are. Regulars. The servers .are wonderful. Especially. Jennifer.

Trivia nights once a month on Thursdays in the winter months.

Nice venue but I think the starters could be done away with and dessert included in ticket price

Very good food, service was excellent, and the show was well done.

We are frequent flyers at Circa 21. The last few times the food has been horrible. We love the performances so we continue to come, sad thing we prepare ourselves to be starving until after the show, then we can eat at a restaurant. Food quality is cafeteria style. This last time takes the cake, the food was the worst. I'm hoping this review will get into the right hands to fix this issue. We love coming here besides the food. Google please help!!!

Awesome evening! Food with excellent service was outstanding the whole evening couldn't have been more impeccable with quality. And I won't mention their names because this is public but what really made the evening amazing was singing who were the Bootleggers waitresses who you can tell we're just totally loving their employment. And say enough it's got to be a 10 on a 5-point scale. You don't know what you're missing if you don't go there.

I absolutely love this place. Can't wait for the next trip :)

Bad service. Took forever to get our drinks and salad. Even the buffet was scant.
Show was great!!

If you have never been to the Speakeasy, you need to go and experience it! We just saw Rocky Horror Show, and it was FABULOUS! Unique quality entertainment in various genres at reasonable prices!

We went here for the Jingle Argh the Way and it was great! The kids loved it and so did I honestly. The building is older but is well maintained. We did not go to a dinner show so I can't vouch for the food but we will definitely go again.

Food is mediocre, and seating is uncomfortable. The show was great!

Great staff, wonderful show, perfect for a date night!

Singin in the Rain play. Wonderful, great singing and acting. Dancing and good fun. The meal was delicious.

Dinner was great and play was outstanding. Loved it.

Saw Momma Mia. The cast was fantastic! The food was fabulous!

Awesome production...as usual! And yummy food, great bootleggers, fun atmosphere!
