Let's be clear, the food is absolutely horrendous but the show is amazing. We paid for VIP tickets which are just above $80 each and include a printed photo of you and your group, early entry for seats, your meal, drink, dessert, and coffee. I was amazed at how crowded it was because the only other time I came here was during on of our senior nights in high school many moons ago, so I'm happy they're still generating so much business. It was rather crowded inside but staff kept everyone organized and checked in quickly. There are not many seats in the waiting area, just a few tables and chairs so expect to be standing. There is an opportunity to order drinks at the bar but many of the margaritas and mixed drinks are pre-made and poured out of a machine so they are super sweet! They weren't my cup of tea but they have some beer options if that's more your jam.
Upon check in you're assigned a table and house color. They'll call you in by groups for the show. The VIP tickets were worth it because we sat in one of the front rows so we had an excellent view of everything. Our server, Marco, was great. He got our drink orders in right away and manned the whole front row of a few sections the whole night. The drinks options I remember are water, Pepsi, lemonade, Sprite, and Sierra Mist. During this time, another staff delivers your printed photo of your group and it comes in a very sturdy holder, which is a cool keepsake to take home with you.
The menu is prefixed and you start off with a tomato bisque soup served hot, but will get cold rather quickly, with a side of garlic bread. Following the soups is the driest chicken you'll ever have in your life, the most amazing buttery corn, and a semi undercooked potato. Again, the food is not it, but it's part of the experience of eating with no silverware.
The show happened concurrently with dinner and the vibes were amazing. The crowd was hyped and the performers were excellent, you can tell they put a lot of work into giving us a great show. We went for my mother-in-law's birthday so I loved that one of the knights threw her a flower, it made her night. We were thoroughly impressed by the falcon that flew around the entire room! The knights gave such an impressive show so we were very happy with our purchase. During the last part of the show, they serve dessert, which is an eclair and I love that they give you the option to pair it with coffee. The whole time you're cheering for your house color to win, but ultimately there can only be one winner.
Since the tickets are paid for in advance, you have the opportunity to tip your server at the end of the night by cash, Venmo, or cash app. They hand you a form with their QR code or handle in the back. It's recommended to tip them $5 to $10 per person, which is reasonable because they're serving you food and drinks throughout the entire 2-hour show.
This isn't something you do frequently but it's definitely a fun experience worth looking into if you want to do something different.
