So fun! I would definitely recommend it. They have different shows almost every night. The Queens are super funny and gorge. I loved the host, Cher. Her jokes were hilar. Tips: #1 Go early so u can finish your food. The show started a few mins after I received my so so dish so I was more interested in laughing... More

This place is classic. A bunch of over-the-top drag queens who make you laugh nonstop. If you aren't comfortable with that thought of men in ladies clothing, don't go. They will spot you immediately and then you are in BIG trouble...LOL! The food isn't great, but that's not why you go. Be open minded, and have fun!

I was brought here by a friend who assured me we'd have a good time. Though not exactly my cup of tea (it's a drag show/dinner theater) I totally agree with her after the show.

The food is only fair, but the acts are great--unless you object to female impersonators. These are some of the prettiest, well filled out men. Go and enjoy.

The show was awesome. "Cher" was a great MC for the night. We went on a Saturday night and had a ball!! Food was good, not great but actually better than expected. Biggest complaint were the $9 drinks that contained no alcohol. We ordered one of their strongest, according to the manager, and it sure didn't taste like there was... More

I was not at all disappointed. It just was poor. The lighting, the entertainment. I guess it is just not the place for me.
