""I enjoyed the dinner AND the show. I paid about $30 for the Halloween dinner, got there an hour before the show, and enjoyed a fishbowl cocktail and free appetizers. Based on yelp, my friends and I were expecting really good appetizers, but we got finger food meant for kids. Overly sweet BBQ meatballs and turkey on cold slices of white bread and thin strips of dry overcooked chicken. I'm pretty positive that anyone who looks forward to these appetizers only do so because they come with an empty stomach.
We got there and immediately ordered a fishbowl of alcohol to get warmed up, expecting a horrid show. Once the show started we were fed immediately. Salad was ok. The chicken was really moist and tender. It was a little under seasoned which was fine because the rice was salty. A nice balance. The cobbler was decent but by that time I was so full I couldn't even drink a cup of the coffee they offered at the end of dinner. The show is interactive and audience participation is worked into the storyline. It was a bit difficult to scream with a mouth full of food. Was anyone even eating or was I just eating extremely slow? I guess I can't do two things at once...That was ok though because I'm not much of an audience participator. I don't go far beyond clapping and an occasional scream. You're sitting elbow to elbow with the people next to you, which I didn't mind because the lady next to me gave us her fishbowl of alcohol. SCORE! The pirates almost force you to participate even if you don't want to, which is what happened to my friends. I just think the yellow pirate had the hots for my lady friends. The storyline itself is a p.o.s., the acting isn't too bad, and I got a few chuckles here and there. I'm a very visual person so anything that can catch my attention (like the green pirate) I'll watch. Parking's easy since there's a lot dedicated to just Pirate goers. The show is a bit cheesy but if you don't care I recommend everyone see this at least once. I probably won't be back here until I have kids...which won't be for a loooooong time.
