Maverick Productions

Funny and campy. Cheesy in that entertaining silly way. Don't expect your brain to do much, don't expect an awesome meal- but an entertaining dining experience. And there are prizes!! You could stand in line, get a decent dinner, and go home OR you can have a fun little dinner experience. That's what this is. Keep food expectations low. Keep theater expectations medium. Bring your silly, easygoing side and just roll w it. You'll have a good time, get fed and still feel like you laughed. Not bad.

This was my first time going to a murder mystery dinner - something I have been wanting to try forever. TOTALLY disappointed! It wasn't what I imagined. This production was at 259 Granby St in Norfolk, VA, and this venue is NOT suitable for this type of event. It was entirely too small for an interactive show. People were sitting all over each other. It was a 4 hour event and I believe this is only because you spent majority of the time trying to ensure everyone made it to the front to look at the crime scene, evidence, etc. The food was cold and HORRIBLE. Not to mention dinner didn't come with a drink other than tap water. You had to purchase canned soda or juice at inflated prices. We actually left when desert was served. $120+ for 2 tickets WASTED! What a mess!

A group of us went here for St. Patricks Day. We thought we would try something new. There were eight of us. I called and made reservations. Was told that $40 per person hold would be put on my card and charged if any of the parties didn't attend.We all showed up after searching for the location. It is in a room in the "Grill" restaurant. We all manage to get there on time.In this little room were long tables crammed together. Dinner was buffet, which was fine, but every time you got up to get something, you had to squeeze out of your chair while bumping into the person behind you.The food was horrible. I think it was all premade. The show was funny at the end but in the beginning it really just drug on and on. Also, the actors were constantly interrupted by the kitchen staff and had to move out of their way while in the middle of their performance.They serve beer and wine, but they were out of most of what people from our table ordered.Service was pretty good. Actors were funny. Food and facility were terrible.I would never recommend this to anyone!

This was our first Murder Mystery Dinner Theater. And we loved it. The cast was awesome, very funny. We also was apart of the murder mystery High School Reunion we could question each other because everyone was a suspect . The food could have been a little better but was served in three courses. But Had a blast! Very well scripted and they had prizes for the winners. I would have won if I wouldnt have let my hubby change my answer. Lol... but it was fun took lots of pictures also with the cast. Can't wait to go back!

DISAPPOINTED AND DISGUSTED!!!Food was horrible, I see why it was not listed on the event page! It was cold and was definitely not worth the money. Posted the picture at the bottom. This is the actual serving size .The best thing was the store bought dessert that came from Walmart or a food lion. We ended up grabbing burgers down the street. The acting was TRASH and the plot did not match the evidence that was offered. Our group kept waiting for it to get better but it never did. They never announced a motive. The so called comedian insert was got awful. I thought she was being horrible on purpose until the end when they announced that she was a "comedian" in the area, it was so quiet it was pathetic during her set. Everything was bad and this is not a handicap friendly establishment just in case anyone was wondering. To sum this up.... Don't waste the money you would have a better time at an escape room.

Hard to describe how bad this murder mystery production is---but I'll try.seating- they simply packed too many tables in . In some places in entire row had to get up and move to allow someone to pass. With a buffet and no table drink service, this was very annoying.Buffet- the other reviews were right. Reminded me of bad high school cafeteria food.Acting- if this was a group of longtime experienced actors they- should ask for their money back from acting school. Some of the male actors were "slimy and creepy". Some of the female actors were well beyond their time.Comedian used to fill in time- horrible, painfully bad. Subject matter was just not funny.Actual murder mystery part- no real action on the stage , no energy, no real surprises, plot was very vagueClues given could not clearly lead to one person.Almost like Murderer can randomly be changed.To some up- painfully bad theater .

Terrible food. Cold. Chicken was tough to cut. Awful quality all around... including mac & cheese, mash potatoes, green beans, pasta. Mac & cheese was burnt. School cafeteria or hospital food is way better.Acting was horrible. That applies to all so-called actors.For $55 per person, I expected much more.

Such a great night with family and MURDER - thanks Maverick productions for a great show!!!

If I could give this zero stars I would. There was no real show or investigation during this dinner. The acting was the worst I have ever seen, there was nonstop technical problems with the mics and half the show was about the audience looking at "evidence" that did not even make sense to the mystery.The food was absolutely horrific. It was buffet style with no organization so the line was very long and food was not warm at all. We were served raw, red chicken in our meal and when we brought it to the managers attention they denied it being raw, and said "what do you want? Something for free? Just eat the other food." The bartender initially agreed the chicken was raw then after speaking to the manager, said it was not raw despite it being literally red/pink.I think the biggest tell about the food was how much food was thrown away in the trash can from peoples plates.Not even 5 minutes into the show, the couple behind us got up and left, and we should have followed.This was complete waste of a Saturday night and of our money. So unless you enjoy horrible acting, a story line that doesn't make sense, no real show, cold/raw food and a management that gaslights you, stay away!

If I could give 0 stars I would. Please do not waste your good hard earned money on this show. It was so bad that I left before the end.
