Mystery Cafe, San Diego

Avoid at all costs. I went to this show last night with a group of family members. I had read the reviews but went anyway, hoping that the reviewers were just poor sports or grumpy. Now having seen the show I can tell you that they went easy on it. The show was terrible and boring, the food was bland, and cost of the ticket does not match the value of what you acually get. The show was a lot like an elementary school play. You can tell that the actors put some work into it but you really have no idea what is going on. You try to keep up with it for 15 minutes and then you realize that it never is going to make any sense, and that even if it did, it wasn't going anywhere interesting. Then the waiting begins. And like an elementary school play, if you are there with or for family you can't walk out no matter how much you desperately want to.

I really do not understand what all of these bad reviews are about. I have seen multiple shows here and think it is great. It is more about the comedy than the mystery, and definately more about the show than the food (which is okay but not great). You have to go in with an open mind and ready to have a good time. The actors are very talented and the improvisation is fantastic (I love it when the actors break character - but I have to say I think it may be staged because I have seen the same show more than once and they broke character in the same spot). Some shows are better than others, but I have never seen one that is bad. This is not Broadway, and not a movie. It is dinner theater. Lighten up, enjoy it for what it is and have a good time!

DON'T DO IT!!!!! The food was horrible, the acting was worst than pre-school. I was sitting at a table near the middle stage and I was bumped and asked to move my chair like 10 times. Not woth $10 let alone $60. Go to McDonald's then home and do a family play, you'll save money and have a lot more fun!!!!

After reading these reviews, I was worried. But I loved it. The show is called The Good The Bad and the Udderly Ridiculous. It's all about having fun. And the actors were REALLY funny. Can't remember laughing that hard in a long time. Go see it.

I Looooved every show I've been two.. gone to two different shows and had a blast. The food, though not the highest quality was FINE.. it's about the entertainment.. you're paying to see people have fun.. and I've spent far more on boring meals.. definitely go.. am aiming for my third show in the next few weeks and am still just as excited.

Decided to go as a birthday adventure with my chickfriend and had a wonderful time! (Though slightly awkward because everybody else at our table were couples celebrating anniversaries.) It's definitely not 'high quality' or 'upscale' but it was very entertaining and silly. The actors were all very friendly and seemed to be having a good time, nobody seemed to take themselves too seriously which is good because I think part of the point is to make everbody feel and be a little ridiculous. I can't wait to go again.
