Such a great show! The crowd is involved and it is absolutely funny! Price is reasonable especially if you are a drinker. Food was good and desert was also good. Make sure to go see this show!

Excellent place to bring the whole family. Food was great and all you can drink rum runners were great and very strong. The show was hilarious and contained a lot of talented numbers. Also the servers have their personality and they are a riot "Bullets" and "Baby Face" had everyone rolling.

The show was entertaining. Kitschy, but entertaining, nonetheless. I also have to applaud the service. Our server was very prompt and attentive. It was also nice that they announced everyone who was celebrating a special occasion (e.g. birthday, anniversary, etc.). However, the food was terrible! I wasn't aware that it was a buffet, which I'm not a fan of anyway. However, the buffet area was rather rundown and nothing really looked appetizing. I got meatballs, roast turkey, sweet potatoes and a roll. I think the roll was the only thing I completely ate. If you're not hungry and want a cheap show, this is the place for you.

To start, the food is awful. It was cold, bland, and cheap; far worse than your average buffet. The venue is out dated, dirty, and much too crowded. And the show was terrible. Some of the actors were okay, but the writing is terrible and several actors forgot lines. I have no idea how this place gets good reviews...I didn't enjoy it even though I expected low brow humor and cheap food.

This was my first time going. I must say the show is hilarious I had such a wonderful time ! But the food I would rate below average. I only ate one plate and you get a small piece of cake for desert which was horrible. But you can't complain with unlimited drinks! I paid for the VIP which probably wasn't any different than regular ticket because I still say in the table with 20 other people It's good to go if it's your first time But don't expect a lot of food there's only one row of buffet food. But the show is great like I said last about 2 hours of nonstop laughing

Ok this place was cute. It's a dinner show with buffet and all you can drink. You get your tickets and knock on a secret wall and give a pw to get into the speakeasy. The all you can drink part is what got me. Plus everywhere offers 50% off(various tour guide boooks provided by hotels ). Check in on yelp to get half off your ticket. The show is kitchy and cute. Nothing elaborate but the acting is decent, food is decent and free (unlimited) alcohol always is a cherry on top! Probably wouldn't go back. [Seen one, seen em all] but I'd recommend to someone in Orlando the first time looking for some entertainment with unlimited dinner.

The show was funny as some others reviewed and said. The fiod wasn't all that good. Kind of bland but the price was outrageous unless you're a big drinker. We had 6 in my party and it was 300+ dollars again good show and drinks not so great food.

The food was good the turkey was nice and moist and the sirloin was cooked to where it should be. The show was funny and very interactive. If you want to have fun and a good meal this is the pkace. The best part a selection of beverages both adult and non adult were continuous flowing.

Patrick B.
Food was good, show was great. Waiters kept the drinks flowing all night. Interactive show was a lot of fun. Went there with my wife and two boys 12 and 8. Everyone had a great time. 1920's speak easy gangster theme. Definitely get the VIP tickets, you get in early and avoid the buffet lines. Highly recommend. Good times.

I cannot express enough, how much fun I had at Capone's Dinner & Show! With a family-friendly atmosphere that sends you back to 1930's gangster-era Chicago, Capone's offers a whimsical music/comedy show, accompanied with home-cooked dishes, a steady flow of spirits and a truly memorable atmosphere! The show at Capone's is top-notch, and includes singing, dancing, and improvisational comedy while interacting with the servers and audience. I particularly loved that before the show, cast members would walk around the theater, dropping wise-cracks and laughs with the guests The dinner buffet offered a wide assortment of delicious options including a full salad bar, homemade lasagna, meatballs, pork, turkey, beef, soups and much more! I particularly loved the lasagna and meatballs, and the pork was fantastic! Overall I would say that Capone's is one of the gems of the Orlando area! You are not going to find a better deal for a night of entertainment and great food! Keep an eye open for an upcoming episode of The Florida Formula Podcast, where I interview the crew of Capone's! floridaformula.com

My wife and I spent a week in Orlando, and Capone's was our favorite thing we did. -- The food: Not horrible, but not fantastic. Except the lasagna: it was one of the best I've had. -- The drinks: All you can drink... really! They don't have some hidden rule about only giving you 1 every hour or whatever... they keep them coming. -- The staff: They were all wonderful. They genuinely care about you and want you to have a great time. It wasn't some cold, amphitheater atmosphere like Medieval Times or Pirates... it was a close, intimate show. -- The show: It was so much fun. From the songs, to the routines, to the improv... it was all fantastic. We were laughing so freaking hard at times. Pay the extra for VIP tickets. The better seats, priority seating and eating, 2 premium-ish drinks before the show, and the included pint glasses more than pay for the show.

Was my first time here and I had an ok time. The show was, eh. I guess it's what you would expect. Funny at times, but most of the time the cheese was way over the top. The singing was painful. But I didn't expect much in this area. The food though was not good. And to make matters worse they told us we couldn't be seated until 7:30 but when we came in everyone was already sat and eating. We got one plate and then the show started. Then they shut down the buffet. I was fine because I got a little of everything but my boyfriend just got a little piece of lasagna expecting that he'd be able to go back. Cause, you know it's all you can eat. But nope. That was all he got. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. Next time I'll try Medieval Times or one of the other more well known dinner shows.

Great times, good food, and good entertainment. You can't be the price considering unlimited drinks too. I will definitely come back.

We were meeting up with relatives in Orlando prior to a one day in an attraction park. Reading some of the reviews and checking the website. We booked the VIP at Capone's the jokes started right away with us looking for the will call window which actually was this guy outside. The VIP area upstairs was kind of a bust there was not enough room at the tables for us to play. We did net our free drink with VIP and it was best drinks we had that whole evening. The VIP granted us very good seats on the show room floor. There was a wide variety of food and tasted good too. Lasagna was dry but they did have sauce to help. The wait staff was very prompt with you drinks, which did not compare with the ones upstairs. I got a sugar headache instead of a buzz from the Rum Runners. The show was funny and entertaining with some audience participation. After the show you could take pictures with the cast. All in all a very good evening and purchasing the ticket on-line makes a good value.

We were here in December of 2014. I can't wait to return. It's basically a gangster-themed dinner show. The buffet offers enough choices to satisfy most tastes, and while nothing really stood out as extraordinary food, everything tasted good. Your dinner price also includes unlimited drinks (beer included) and dessert. Everything about the meal was satisfactory, but Capone's is five stars for the show and the cast. The show integrates the servers into the production quite a bit, which I enjoyed. There is also audience interaction without making said interactions seem clumsy or forced. The players in the show were all very talented, and the male lead was hilarious. We really, really had a good time. If you're passing through Orlando, check it out.

FORK YOU Imagine an Al Capone show running in Kissimmee for the last 20 years. That's longer then most broadway musicals. The show was really cute. We went as a family and the jokes were really funny. I loved how they used jokes that were funny for the adults and the kids too. My favorite was when the gangster grabbed a fork and used it as a weapon by saying, "Fork You!" And Gangster Bugsy Malone comes back with, "No Fork You!" The joke literally brought down the house. As a family, we were surprised at how entertaining the show was. We kept waiting for the lull in the show and it never happen. We arrived at the show at 7:30pm and were given our password to enter Capone's speakeasy. A picture frame of Capone opened and we handed our ticket over. The wall opened and we were immediately put in a lineup and our photo snapped in black and white. It was really cute. The only thing that confused me was that the room was packed on the main floor. Which made no sense to me because I was told on the phone that the dinner started at 7:30 but most people were done eating. In fact, we were the last people to walk in. It was a little uncomfortable as we were squeezed into the middle of an already crowded table. Our drink order was taken and we headed over to the buffet. Now it was all you can eat but do not expect a gourmet meal here. That is understood because the theater has to make money. The soups were really bad and as a home chef I could see it was made with the leftovers from the previous nights buffet like leftover turkey and veggies. The salad bar is probably the safest bet but I'm not a huge iceberg lettuce fan. The London broil was a little tough but the stuffed pork loin was tasty. I stayed away from the mushy pasta that was sitting sauce less, so I can't really review that. I will say the meatballs were good. The lasagna was okay but it was not the best I've ever had. It was just a basic back of the box recipe. I did like the pepperoni pizza. The crust had a nice buttery crispness. Honestly I would put the food at 1 star, so you've been warned. One thing I didn't like was the guy told me on the phone that the food was available for an hour and twenty minutes. I witnessed the cook turning off the warming burners at 8pm which was only 30 minutes since the start time. I asked him how long the food would be out and he told me 8:20. I just didn't like the misinformation I received on the phone. In fact the show started at 8pm while I was grabbing food for my little one, so I kind of missed the opening musical number. Our waiter Knuckles was really good. He kept our drinks full. Now the quality of liquor wasn't great. I stuck with the white wine and the Bud Light. There was a full bar available if you want. I learned from the nice family from Honduras sitting next to me that you could get in early if you bought your own drinks. In fact, they got there at 6pm. This explains why everyone was finished eating when we walked in. It would have been nice to know that info prior to arriving at the show. Knuckles was always there with more alcohol. He also had a few parts in the show. He kept the table clean while acting and serving. The customer service was really good and that's 4 stars to me. The entertainment of the show was also 4 stars. Now none of these actors are going to win an academy award but the cute entertainment value was there. I find it ironic we were watching this show while the academy awards were going on. Just remember when you walk through that hidden door you are in Capone's Speakeasy. There will be singing, dancing and jokes and it is an entertaining ride with a cute story. Some of my favorite lines from the show: Fork You Up Yours Wisconsin Sucks We have a gift shop? So get your zoot suit on and head on over for an entertaining show. There are a bunch of on line discounts including one on yelp. So Fork You Capone! We had a forking fun family time! UP Yours! No up Yours!

We attended this as the last show before we headed home from vacation (after attending both the Out of Control Comedy Show, and Sleuths) and unfortunately, I think it suffered a bit in comparison. We upgraded and got VIP service, arrived an hour previous to the show, and were somewhat sorry that we did - the bar/gambling aspect at the lounge wasn't something to really show up early for. They had only one table with blackjack, one with roulette, and not enough seats for everyone that wanted to play, so we would up sitting around and nursing our drink. Though we were "VIP" and supposed to be the first seated, we watched about 15 people already seated. We did get a private table for the VIP charge, though, so that was likely worth it. The food wasn't that bad - to be honest, I almost never expect much out of dinner & show fare having been conditioned by Medieval Times to expect drek, but the salad bar was fresh and the Lasagna wasn't bad at all. We did not try the carving station. Rum Runners. Holy cow, they're pretty good and plentiful. I had to threaten to take back my tip from the waiter if he didn't stop filling my glass. The waitstaff is incredibly on the ball. The show itself is cheesy, almost cartoonish, and we has some pretty boorish heckling jerks just to the right of us that started getting stupidly annoying as the show went on, but the actors held a decent cadence and were pretty funny. If you can get into it, and you get the actors on a good night, it's entertaining if you like silly comedy, wiseguy themed improv, and the occasional old song crooned out. My one major complaint is that they really do kick you to the curb when it was over - my kid wanted to meet and get photos with some of the actors, which was a typical feature at every show that we attended in Orlando on our vacation, and at this place? No dice. There's the door. Use it. Buh-bye. Um. Thanks? The fact that they mill about beforehand doesn't really take the place of that - you have no idea that they're the entertainers, or who their characters are to care about them as anything more then accents to the ambience. It was a bit of a drawback. As an experience on the whole, I think its worth it if you get/use the discounts folks have already outlined, but the presentation really needs to be tightened up a bit as a pseudo-immersion experience. It was good, but not great, and felt a bit unfriendly at the end.

Let me start by breaking this down into 2 categories. Category 1: you want to get drunk category 2: you love crappy dinner theater and chef boyardee tasting spaghetti and meatballs. If you pick option 1 then I highly reccomend. drinking wine only and not wasting your time with the jungle juice or other pink panty droppers. If its option 2 then this is the place for you. Crappy food, waaaaay worse meatballs, And even worse dancing to barely make you keep the food in your stomach. Al capones speak easy will make....your stomach un-easy.

Ok first off wow. Not what I expected. We came here for my dinner birthday and let's just say. I should of went somewhere that had Good food at least. Food here, well it's not good. It says Italian Buffet on the website but buffet at pizzahut is 100 times better. Their pizza is worse then digornio. Pasta is awful and sauce is watery. Their dinner rolls u can throw at someone and knock them out. I'm vegetarian so didn't have any of their meats but for promoting an Italian buffet, it's quite sad. Now drinks, well drinks are good. I think they want you to get drunk and forget how awful everything else is. Seats, please try to get your own table or bio balcony. Now if you end a long row table and have to sit on the end like I did and have every single drunk guest bump into you, well you will be upset like I was. Maybe even have someone bump into you and spill sauce down your back. Oh yeah how great would that be? Because it wasn't. Now. The show. Well the head singer "jewel" is awesome. She is talented and makes you laugh and smile even after an uneventful night at this place. The rest is passable. Some zzzzz times of the show but all in all not bad. Will I return here? No. Will I recommend this place to anyone that asks? No. Not unless the food gets revamped or please Do NOT advertise it as a dinner theater show when it's not s dinner. It's digornio. Ha

Ok let's be honest - if you've never been to "the theatre" without a buffet included in the price than this is probably a good time. My husband and good friend found ourselves in the Orlando area over NYE and thought we'd give this place a chance -- worst idea ever. On entrance the smell of the carpets (spaghetti vomit) hit you as you're ushered to a mugshot photo - actually the highlight of this review. Then upstairs to the "game room" - which is just a balcony area with tables that may have once in the mid 80's had games played (we observed a banged up piece of felt that was being used as a masking tape roll holder). Character Interaction includes your name being screamed in a bad Chicago accent (points though to the actors that tried). The show is bad, the food is worse, our server did not even attempt an accent or a character and kept raving about the cheesecake (which was actually strawberry short cake). Really sloppy stuff. If you want tons of free drinks and 4 hours to question your life choices this is your place. The main reason i am being so honest is the cost - this was NOT cheap!

THE best dinner and show I've even been too. Girls were sexy and the show was hilarious. Free drinks all night and food wasn't half bad. Easily worth the money in the show alone, EASILY. We were table 51 and my family got better service than in any restaurant I've been in. If you're around the area you're missing out if you don't go. Don't believe the "wanna be critics" on the reviews. These people know funny and they care about their show. Loved ever second of it, and loved the pretty blonde girl in the show ;)

Believe it or not the food was great. We travel a lot and attend many dinner shows and usually the show out shines the food but this time it was the opposite. The meatballs were especially good. The drinks were a different issue. The white Zin was served from a plastic pitcher and was watered down. The mixed drinks and draft beer was weak. The only thing real was bottled beer and that you pay extra for. As for the entertainment I was disappointed. I was expecting more of the 1940s type dancing and music but it was more of an acting skit. When they did sing and dance it was good but too little of it. All in all it was ok but disappointing. A one time visit.

My family and I had a lot of fun. Very kitschy. I thought the food was okay. My mom got sick from it though, so if you have a sensitive stomach you are forewarned. The show was funny, and after spending a week on vacation in Florida and eating at restaurants and fast food joints the whole time this was a nice change.

Capone's provided such an entertaining evening for me on my last night in Orlando. I was the last member of my group to leave (I'm from California) and this was the perfect dinner as I was dining alone. The show was on the corny side, which I loved. The buffet dinner was actually pretty good. Waiter was friendly and fun, and refilled my merlot (included in admission price) every time my glass was low. The actors were really great and I would def return next trip to Orlando area.

Cheesy but funny show, food was really nice for a buffet and overall we found the evening good value for money and our 13 & 9 year old children enjoyed it too. Free beverages throughout the evening were a nice touch, along with 4 complimentary Capone souvenir glasses to take home with us.

One word, DECENT. The main stars of the show is the only thing that saved it from being a bad experience. They are good at what they do, the rest of the staff seemed to be unhappy to work there. The people at the ticket booth were grumpy. The waiters half heartily played supporting roles. And their table service was sometimes slacking.The food is generic, the lasagna was the only item all my party truly liked. I downed 4 or 5 rum runners but barely got a buzz, my guess is that they lightly spread the rum around the top to make it smell stronger than it is. I would have ordered wine if I had known. I overall enjoyed it as different entertainment but I don't think it deserves an award. I wouldn't go back unless they improved things. They could get a lot of business from locals if they did.

We had a good time... The show was good.. The unlimited alcohol was even better- I'd give it 3 1/2 stars but its not an option... There were some hiccups. In the beginning of the show after the little video, someone canceled the video and left an open window shining on the curtain... Looked pretty bad considering I used to be an IT... The food was less than great... But for the price ($25 a person after military discount) you can't beat it... I think I drank my fill.. Lol. We have 3 little girls that we left with grandma, and I'm glad we did... They advertise this as a family friendly show and it had a lot of crude humor. Which was good for adults :) At the end of the day... Even though it sounds like a bad review it was worth checking out!!!

Marie B.
The buffet was very bad. Unflavoured lasagna,few salad choices and the pork was over cooked at the carving station. The "theatre" portion was mediocre and we where constantly reminded to leave the suggested tips for the servers. I'm sorry, but I had to leave after dessert was served. Hopefully, the second act was better for the diners.

Jesse R.
Where do I begin? Well, for starters, the whole thing was pretty much what I expected. Which is not a good thing. The Show: Meh. The singers were OK. But there was very little substance, and would bore to tears anyone with all but the shortest of attention spans. Don't expect plot, consistency, or really much of anything. Food: Very meh. I ended up eating the cheese off of a slice of pizza, and the ricotta out of a lasagna square. The rest just was not appetizing to me. A friend who was with me likened it to a school cafeteria during the recession. Cheapest ingredients you can find, and questionable shelf life. The dessert was an insult. It was basically more of the pizza dough with a paper-thin smear of applesauce and dusted with cinnamon and powdered sugar. Like I said, I was not expecting much, so I can't get too disappointed, right? No, son, I was disappoint. I left satisfied only because I didn't have to pay for it. Unless you're a fan of nonsensical childish cabaret and awful food, don't bother. The ONLY reason to go here is for the unlimited 'adult' beverages, and you're going to need them to get through the next 3 hours of your life. For $50 there are TONS better places to go that you could feed TWO people, not just one, AND be entertained.

S M.
Had tickets bought for us and was really looking forward to the experience. It was not what I expected. You can tell the place is run down and hasn't been updated in awhile. The concept is cool...gangster era. The show was cute but nothing special. They really encourage drinking alcohol...and a lot of it. They tell you they want you drunk and they push the drinks heavy. Some drinks are free but they are well brand or cheap beer. The food was OK. The turkey was really good, probably best I've ever had...thick and juicy. We left early at the first intermission as well as others did. In fairness, we left due to some bad news from the family or else might have stayed...might.

There is something special in my heart for dinner theaters. It combines two of my favorite things, comedy/acting and food. I think if people go into a dinner theater with a bad attitude, it doesn't matter how amazing it is, people are gonnna hate. Capone's in my eyes, is one of the better dinner theaters in Orlando. Let's break it down kids..... Food: The food is about as standard Italian gets. It is in a buffet. It ain't your momma's homemade pasta, but it holds up to be a decent and filling meal. They also offer pretty much standard Thanksgiving fixings as well, potatoes, gravy, stuffing, turkey, honey ham(mmm). A bit odd for the theme, but I wasn't complaining! Out of other shows I've gone to, it was the second best I've had. We'll say 3 stars Drinks: Man oh man, they don't skimp on the drinks! I nearly had to fight my server off from bringing me a fresh beer everytime he came by, which is a good thing, and I would have fought a lot less if I wasn't driving later. They have wine that was good, mixed cocktails, and some rum punch drink. I didn't get a chance to endluge in the liquors, but other tables were asking for pitchers of the stuff. I'd give the drinks 5 stars. Entertainment: The show is funny. Yes, the show is cheesy, but in a perfectly melted on your Philly cheesesteak cheesy. All the actors were extrememly nice, and even busted my balls for not putting a ring on the gf's finger(had a really good laugh with them). The singing wasn't bad, never a song I wished would hurry up and end. The laughs were constant and the vibe was very lively. I'd gladly give them 4 stars for the show. Bravo! All in all, Capone's is a great change of pace from your everyday dinner and boring conversation with your significant other. It seems you can always get tickets for half off (full price would be a bit rough at $60), so for about $30 you get unlimited Italian and Thanksgiving dinner, More drinks then you could fathom in a 2 hour period, and an entertaining show. Tell me ANYWHERE you could get the same amount of stuff for that price. Seriously, you just spent $30 at a dive bar last night.....Fo-get about it!

We went, we saw, we had a good time. We were greeted by wiseguys in the parking lot and ushered in to the bar. Everyone in the place was an entertainer, the bar tender, the card dealer, everyone. Capone's has been around for at least 20 years. We could verify that because from our seat at the bar we could see the 20 years of grunge on the ceiling, yuk, that needs to be cleaned up. Next we were seated in the dining room and directed to the buffet. I thought the food was good, and a few steps above what you usually get at theme shows. I enjoyed the meatballs and roast Turkey very much. You get unlimited drinks while dining and watching the show, a nice bonus. The show was good, kind of a musical comedy, variety show. Not really too gangster specific. Anyway we had a really nice time, despite being somewhat distracted by staff vacuuming during the show.

The food was discusting. Our server brought out some fresh plates and one of them had a small bug running around on it. At that point we were all done eating. Some of the reviews talk about how their glasses were always kept full but mine was not. And the beer was warm. The show was funny at times, but not appropriate for kids. When a guest said he was from Texas a performer decided to break out the "only steers and queers come from Texas" joke. Nobody laughed. I would not recommend this place, the food really seriously might have been the worst I've ever had anywhere.

David M.
As a restaurant I would give this place 3 stars, but as a Dinner Show I would say 4 stars is good. The show is entertaining, the performers are talented in quick wit, singing, and acting. The food is mediocre at best, but when you consider the price of $30 for a 2 hour show, unlimited beer/wine/drinks, what would you expect? It wasn't terrible. They do try to sell you a picture package, but very low pressure sales. They basically dropped the pictures at your table and left it with the prices. Someone came by later to see if you wanted it or not without asking you to buy anything. Not the best show, not the best food, but it was a great night out for $30 a person so I would definitely say go check it out.

While in Orlando on vacation we tried this place out. Well worth the ticket. Food was decent drinks were kept full and the entertainment was great. I'd recommend getting the Internet special 50% off tickets and VIP was worth the extra to go through the dinner line first

I have gone to Capone's twice in the span of a month. It was just as great the second time round. I went with my friends the first time to try it out and see if it was a great place to take my grandparents for their 46 anniversary. Overall two thumbs up and if I had more there would be. The buffet was had some great choices but the ones they kept getting praise while I was there were the meatballs, lasagna, and at the carving station the pork chops, and the London broil. Everything else that was on the line was great too but those were the highlights. The waiters both times we went were very cheery and you could tell they had fun. The show was overall hilarious and the best part is it was more adult humor but censored for younger children. Overall I would come again and again for the price they offered. It's definitely a gem (ya see what I did there) hidden away but I am glad I decided to check it out.

Excellent Value for $30-$35 (includes dinner & drinks!) For the money all 3 are excellent food, show and drinks. I like to visit this dinner show once a year. Talented and entertaining wait staff & entertainers. Onwners & Management should be proud to offer our area a high quality, reasonably price dinner show. Excellent for visitors who may not be rich.
(5)
Fred W.
This is NOT, I repeat NOT what I would call a family friendly show for kids. The jokes all revolve around sex, drinking, etc and are not appropriate for children even though they advertise this show as family friendly. Alcohol flows freely and creates an environment that kids should not be around. During our show tonight we had one drunk person calling out profanities throughout the show and was not asked to leave by the the staff. If you like this kind of comedy the entertainment is ok and the food is fair but leave your kids at home.

In the interest of full discosure, I was offered tickets to go see Capone's and have dinner on 'the family,' but that said, I'm going to try very hard to review the show, atmosphere, food, and experience as is I had been a paying customer. The regular price for dinner & a show at Capone's is $60 per adult, but you'd be hard pressed to find someone who paid full price, as there are all sorts of discounts and coupons available if you take 30 seconds to google it. Even their website sometimes runs a special for 50% off. I'm not sure if I think the experience and food were worth $60, but I'd definitey be willing to go back again at $30/person. Also, something to consider is that in addition to beer & wine that are generally included in the price at other dinner shows, they also offer a few different mixed drinks and a pretty delicious rum runner punch, so that adds to the value for some people. Normally, seating for dinner is at 7:30pm. If you arrive at least an hour early, instead of waiting in line outside in the heat, you can head inside early and go upstears to the private bar. To do this, you do have to purchase at least one drink per person, even if it's just soda. The bartenders were friendly, and the performers who came up to take us to our tables stayed in character even when they had to delay us a few minutes. Once we were seated downstairs, the table aready had salad (with dressing on the side - awesome for preventing sogginess) and breadsticks, and our server came over to get our drink orders as soon as we sat down. He was awesome, and kept our drinks refilled all night, made sure we got more breadsticks when we wanted some more. He also stayed in character the entire night, and was just a great server in general. Be forewarned, though - they really like to keep you drinking, and might tease you a little bit if you're the DD or you just want some water/soda, though it does go with the whole speakeasy theme. Some people expect that kind of 'interaction' at dinner theater shows, and some don't, so I thought I should mention it. Also, the performers were already out and about, interacting with different tables, which was a nice way to give you something to watch without making you fee rushed to eat. Once we were finished with salad, we were told to go to the buffet whenever we were ready. The buffet isn't huge, but it was sizable, with a good selection of classic Italian food, and an almost equal seection of 'standard' buffet fare - mashed potatoes, stuffing, ham, turkey, roast beef. We loaded our plates up with a variety of options. The best things I had were the pizza (cheese & pepperoni were both available), the meat lasagna (there was also veggie lasagna), and the mashed potatoes. The spaghetti was pretty generic, but not bad, and the same goes for the mac & cheese. We were underwhelmed by the roast beef and the stuffing. I'd say stick to the Italian food. Also, some items could've been hotter - the meatballs seemed kind of lukewarm to me. Your waiter will happily get you a clean plate if you'd like to take another trip. It definitely was not close to the worst food I've had at a local dinner theatre, but it also wasn't super high quality. It was a good dinner, and combined with the show, atmosphere, and drinks, I think it was worth the cost. On to the show! All of the performers were fantastic, and the singing and dancing was great. I believe they've been doing the same show for a few years, but the person who was with me remembered seeing this show two visits ago and then a different one in between, so the might rotate them. The nice thing about this show was that it wasn't a murder mystery, so you didn't really have to do any 'work' as audience members, though there was still enough audience interaction to keep you from feeling like you were just watching a normal play. There were also more adult jokes - nothing offensive - than I expected, which was great. All of the performers worked really well together, even if something threw them off, which was awesome to see. At intermission, they brought out dessert. It would be nice to have 2 or 3options to choose from, but the chocolate cake that was the only option was pretty good, and you could also have coffee if you wanted to. At this point, you also had the option of purchasing souvenir photos. The photos are different from most packages you can get at other similar places, as they're actually themed to the 'criminal' lineup backdrop they shoot the photos in front of, which was fun. After admission, the show finishes up, and that's the end of the night! Overall, it was a lot of fun, the food was alright, and the entertainment is awesome. I would definitely recommend checking it out if you're looking for a different experience from Medieval Times or the other 'murder mystery' dinner theatres in the area, but be sure to check their website (or google) for specials they're running to save some money.

When I went here with friends, I had reservations expecting something else. While campy, I enjoyed the show and entertainment. The servers kept the humor running when the actors were off stage and the food was what I expected. Definitely worth going to see and I do plan to ago again with friends. The actors were a lot of fun and seem to enjoy the roles. I 'm giving 4 stars because there is room for improvement and I did feel a little cramped (I expected dinner tables, not rows, for example). I look forward to my next visit.

* Food was better than some places I've been to in Vegas on recent travel. * Show was entertaining: the staff did well to engage the crowd as foils for their own acts. * Staff used self-depreciation to humorous effect. "You'll want a drink when you try the food!" * They take your picture at entry, then during intermission, they will offer you a chance to buy mementos: came out better than what you're offered over at the Universal rides.

We had an incredible time!!! Yes, the show was a bit cheesy. But the time frame the theatre is set in, 1920's-30's was a very cheesy time. All about laughs and endings where everything works out. The food was good, not over the top amazing but good. In fact, it was better food than the Alahambra dinner theatre in Jacksonville! And it was PACKED on a Saturday night. We loved the acting and the overall interaction of the service staff and cast. Everyone is in character before, during and after the show, and as an actress I LOVED that. Great talent with a good script and so much fun. The reason why I gave four stars instead of five was minor technical things like not all the lights on the stairs working, (Half of the lights out on certain steps, etc). That was the ONLY issue we had. It's fun, and expensive, but you can always find 50% coupons which tells me that their more about bringing people in for a good time than making money, which is awesome. Definitely try it out!!!

This Amazing dinner show has been around for many years the show is based on gangsters and Al Capone the idea is that you're in a stuffie speakeasy during the Prohibition era the acting is done by professional actors the food quality has come up over the last couple of years and still unlimited alcohol and non beverages if you're looking for a great way to spend an evening a way from the hustle and bustle of the theme park world this is a place to relax and unwind and have a great time.

The show was fantastic but the buffet left some to be desired. The show was witty and entertaining. The wait staff were great and kept the drinks full in front of you. The food was cold and not what I expected.

This has to be the cheesiest dinner show in the area lol. The acting is not even high school level. The food is served buffet style and was already setup prior to anyone being let into the theatre. It consisted of a sad salad some dried out yet mushy pasta and some mushy tasteless canned veggies. The following show was only amusing because it was so overly corney.

My girlfriend and I had a great time. The performers seemed like they were having a lot of fun and the servers were attentive. Further, some places like this offer "unlimited drinks" and don't keep your glass full, this place says it and means it. Look, if you've made it far enough to look this place up on yelp, buy your tickets! We had a blast.

ChyAnn C.
Yes, Capone's is campy, corny and cheesey. And no, don't go for the food. The food (at best) is fair. However, we were looking for laughs, a few drinks and a good time. Capone's fit the need. My husband and I had a great time! Laughed! Dressed the part... and smiled.

Awful, unappetizing food. Extremely cheesy performances. I was uncomfortable throughout. Some talented actors working with a pretty lame script. The place is not well run at all, despite having a great theme and enthusiastic people working there.

Show and food were poor. Some funny parts and friendly staff but overall, I would have skipped this. I'm pretty sure that they always have "half price" tickets for sale in order to lure in more guests. It's not worth it, even it at "half price." Skip this and check out other options in the area.

Food was not great. Had been sitting on a buffet for at least 45 minutes when we got in line. We were the second table at the buffet. Drinks were kept full, but the mixed drinks were very weak. If you order beer or wine you got your fill. Show was cheesy, but I was not overly disappointed in it. The big let down was the quality of the food and the service.

My husband and I went last night for Valentine's Day, since our Valentine's tradition is doing cheesy stuff in tourist town that we'd never otherwise do since we live in Orlando and typically try to steer clear of Kissimmee. We basically chose Capone's because we thought it would be funny to go and because there was a 50% off coupon online, but we both ended up having a great time! The staff was fantastic, they were all in character the whole time and were all friendly, helpful, and attentive. It seemed like they really enjoyed what they were doing and they really helped to keep the overall vibe fun. The show was funny and the acting was good, corny but intentionally so. The food was fine, not unbelievable but nothing to complain about. I feel like some of the other reviewers mistakenly thought they were going to see a realistic rendition of The Godfather complete with entrees from Del Frisco's, which is just ridiculous. It is what it is! And for what it is, it's good. With the coupon on their website it was only $30 each, and for a show, a buffet, and unlimited free booze, I thought it was well worth it. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5: When we arrived, there was a huge line outside. We ended up not having to wait in it at all because we booked tickets online, which was awesome, but we very nearly got in the back of the line because we didn't know what was going on or where we were supposed to be. We just luckily happened to see someone in a costume in the middle of a bunch of people that looked like he was handing out tickets, so we asked him. I don't know if this is how it always is or if it's because it was Valentine's Day. It also took a super long time before everyone was seated and the show began, which wasn't awful for us since we were seated early and were enjoying interacting with the cast inside, but would have probably sucked had we been in that line for well over an hour. We also didn't leave until almost midnight, which I wasn't expecting. But again, maybe this is just because it was Valentine's Day, and it didn't ruin the night.

My family and I came from Chicago to Orlando to see the sights and whatnot for the week of the fourth of July. I only asked to go to Al Capone's Dinner and show. I asked the hotel concierge what he thought of the place and he recommend that I not go to there because it is kind of lame and the other concierge by him also shook his head and said not to, however I decided not to take their advice and go by the good reviews I read. The more I read about it, the more excited I got. So we went there on the fourth of July, our last night there. When we got there the first thing I did was go in to the gift shop. I was looking around for some things to get my parents and decided to get my mom a white headband thing they had, she said it was not for her and she asked me to return it and insisted I buy something for myself for the $7 that the headband costed so I returned the headband, although the woman there wasn't thrilled and told me I can not buy anything there again for the night...rude! The police officer was nice and funny in the line we were waiting in. Once we got in, at 8pm we were greeted by the rest of the amazing staff which included Miss Jewel, our server, and others. We were then called up to the buffet, which for vegetarians like ourselves didn't include much. But, we are an exception since most people eat meat and the buffet should be fine for them. The salad bar and the rest of the food seemed fresh and good to me. Also the Unlimited drinks and food was great. Our server was also amazing and talked to us a lot and made sure our cups were never empty. The show is what killed it for me. Being so excited for CAPONE's Dinner and SHOW, I was severely let down. 90% of the jokes were about people being cheap and how they should pay a good tip...yes you read it correctly 90% of the show is about how people should pay a good tip. Also when you sit down there is a card telling you you should pay $7 in tips per adult and $5 per child. which, our server was great and he probably deserved every penny of it. But seriously, does Capone's not pay their employees that they spend 90% of the show telling their customers to? Also Al Capone is in the show for about 5-10 minutes all together. Wait...no he isn't...He is in a movie in the show...their management was probably too cheap to do that. Yet, the staff had to call a family the cheap family...probably written in their script by management. Also the actors probably had to fill in some of the time with random stand up about the audience, which was amusing for me...much more than the written part, but my father started falling asleep because of boredom. The actors were great however and I could see that they all were very talented even with their script, which for someone who gets easily impressed the script ruined it for me. They did have some jokes (not many) that were funny, and many that were inappropriate for young children and/or awkward for young adults visiting with their parents. If you do go, do yourself a favor and order your tickets online for half price because you will feel like you are getting stolen from for $60 per person full price. I am planning on returning to Orlando, just not Capone's unless they do something to their horrid script. Moral of the story...listen to your hotel concierge. Pros: -Decent unlimited buffet and alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks -Great cast -AMAZING servers Cons: -Terrible script which forces actors to beg for tips -Mean gift shop woman

Went to this show to make my girlfriend happy. seen the clips on you tube and was not to impressed. We get to the building and this this guy in a zoot suit hanging out with the whole line keeping everyone entertained while we all wait for the doors to open. Once it was time to go into the show, it was like you are at the mob hang out spot... secret doors, passwords..... loud cocky Italians just like you would think the mob guys were. the food..... All you can eat Italian food. meatballs, spaghetti, chicken parmigiana, pot roast, ham, mash potatoes/ gravy... bread sticks. All the food was great. Now they do advertise UNLIMITED DRINKS.... beer, couple mixed drink choices, and soda........ the mixed drinks are not watered down, the beer is cold and the soda is soda. and your cup will never be empty.. We had Joey Too Slow as our waiter and he was great, i was drinking beer and my girlfriend was drinking rum and coke. we never looked for the waiter for a refill, our cups were always full or half empty.. GREAT SERVICE!!!!!! The Show ........FUN!!! I was stunned at the whole thing. they really got the act down. never missed a beat!! your cheeks will hurt leaving this place. They have a scripted show they go by, but there was a lot of improv also throughout the show.. which made the show that much better! while on our trip we went to three shows.. Pirates, Arabian nights and this show.. three totally different shows but hands down the Capone Dinner and Show was the best! by the way there is a coupon in one of the tourist guide books that gives you 50% discount on the show/dinner..

While the food is just okay, the show is wonderful! The servers get involved with the show and the cast is of Broadway caliber. The gangsters are funny, the songs are vibrant, and the dancing is phenomenal! It's well worth the money! I am going for my second time this week!

Tabitha P.
Ok, honestly the Original show was much much better, if it were still the same show I would rate this place a 5. People often say the food is horrible, well I have been to plenty of dinner shows in the area and by far Capones has the best food, plus its ayce. The alcohol drinks are watered down, but hey, they are free... and I don't think children would really enjoy this show. BUT for the price (find yourself a coupon, there everywhere) and the food and the show, it's a fun night out.

Tim O.
We live in the Orlando area. When we want to have a fun night out at a dinner theater, we go to Capone's. The staff is awesome, unlimited booze, fun show and service, etc. The food is not the greatest, but don't go for the food. If you want awesome food, don't go to any touristy dinner theater. It's a well-run, fun night out.

Todd H.
Don't know if it's still there or not, but if it is ... pass. Food was absolutely horrible. Almost as if they just poured generic Chef Boyardee into the Sterno tray and served it. Show wasn't even that funny. I guess when you can find 50% off coupons everywhere it must not be that good. Oh well, live and learn.

Such a great show! The crowd is involved and it is absolutely funny! Price is reasonable especially if you are a drinker. Food was good and desert was also good. Make sure to go see this show!
(5)Faustino C.
Excellent place to bring the whole family. Food was great and all you can drink rum runners were great and very strong. The show was hilarious and contained a lot of talented numbers. Also the servers have their personality and they are a riot "Bullets" and "Baby Face" had everyone rolling.
(5)Stephanie B.
The show was entertaining. Kitschy, but entertaining, nonetheless. I also have to applaud the service. Our server was very prompt and attentive. It was also nice that they announced everyone who was celebrating a special occasion (e.g. birthday, anniversary, etc.). However, the food was terrible! I wasn't aware that it was a buffet, which I'm not a fan of anyway. However, the buffet area was rather rundown and nothing really looked appetizing. I got meatballs, roast turkey, sweet potatoes and a roll. I think the roll was the only thing I completely ate. If you're not hungry and want a cheap show, this is the place for you.
(3)Ben M.
To start, the food is awful. It was cold, bland, and cheap; far worse than your average buffet. The venue is out dated, dirty, and much too crowded. And the show was terrible. Some of the actors were okay, but the writing is terrible and several actors forgot lines. I have no idea how this place gets good reviews...I didn't enjoy it even though I expected low brow humor and cheap food.
(1)Sarah C.
This was my first time going. I must say the show is hilarious I had such a wonderful time ! But the food I would rate below average. I only ate one plate and you get a small piece of cake for desert which was horrible. But you can't complain with unlimited drinks! I paid for the VIP which probably wasn't any different than regular ticket because I still say in the table with 20 other people It's good to go if it's your first time But don't expect a lot of food there's only one row of buffet food. But the show is great like I said last about 2 hours of nonstop laughing
(3)Carletta B.
Ok this place was cute. It's a dinner show with buffet and all you can drink. You get your tickets and knock on a secret wall and give a pw to get into the speakeasy. The all you can drink part is what got me. Plus everywhere offers 50% off(various tour guide boooks provided by hotels ). Check in on yelp to get half off your ticket. The show is kitchy and cute. Nothing elaborate but the acting is decent, food is decent and free (unlimited) alcohol always is a cherry on top! Probably wouldn't go back. [Seen one, seen em all] but I'd recommend to someone in Orlando the first time looking for some entertainment with unlimited dinner.
(4)Dorian E.
The show was funny as some others reviewed and said. The fiod wasn't all that good. Kind of bland but the price was outrageous unless you're a big drinker. We had 6 in my party and it was 300+ dollars again good show and drinks not so great food.
(3)David H.
The food was good the turkey was nice and moist and the sirloin was cooked to where it should be. The show was funny and very interactive. If you want to have fun and a good meal this is the pkace. The best part a selection of beverages both adult and non adult were continuous flowing.
(5)Patrick B.
Food was good, show was great. Waiters kept the drinks flowing all night. Interactive show was a lot of fun. Went there with my wife and two boys 12 and 8. Everyone had a great time. 1920's speak easy gangster theme. Definitely get the VIP tickets, you get in early and avoid the buffet lines. Highly recommend. Good times.

I cannot express enough, how much fun I had at Capone's Dinner & Show! With a family-friendly atmosphere that sends you back to 1930's gangster-era Chicago, Capone's offers a whimsical music/comedy show, accompanied with home-cooked dishes, a steady flow of spirits and a truly memorable atmosphere! The show at Capone's is top-notch, and includes singing, dancing, and improvisational comedy while interacting with the servers and audience. I particularly loved that before the show, cast members would walk around the theater, dropping wise-cracks and laughs with the guests The dinner buffet offered a wide assortment of delicious options including a full salad bar, homemade lasagna, meatballs, pork, turkey, beef, soups and much more! I particularly loved the lasagna and meatballs, and the pork was fantastic! Overall I would say that Capone's is one of the gems of the Orlando area! You are not going to find a better deal for a night of entertainment and great food! Keep an eye open for an upcoming episode of The Florida Formula Podcast, where I interview the crew of Capone's! floridaformula.com

My wife and I spent a week in Orlando, and Capone's was our favorite thing we did. -- The food: Not horrible, but not fantastic. Except the lasagna: it was one of the best I've had. -- The drinks: All you can drink... really! They don't have some hidden rule about only giving you 1 every hour or whatever... they keep them coming. -- The staff: They were all wonderful. They genuinely care about you and want you to have a great time. It wasn't some cold, amphitheater atmosphere like Medieval Times or Pirates... it was a close, intimate show. -- The show: It was so much fun. From the songs, to the routines, to the improv... it was all fantastic. We were laughing so freaking hard at times. Pay the extra for VIP tickets. The better seats, priority seating and eating, 2 premium-ish drinks before the show, and the included pint glasses more than pay for the show.
(5)Eve D.
Was my first time here and I had an ok time. The show was, eh. I guess it's what you would expect. Funny at times, but most of the time the cheese was way over the top. The singing was painful. But I didn't expect much in this area. The food though was not good. And to make matters worse they told us we couldn't be seated until 7:30 but when we came in everyone was already sat and eating. We got one plate and then the show started. Then they shut down the buffet. I was fine because I got a little of everything but my boyfriend just got a little piece of lasagna expecting that he'd be able to go back. Cause, you know it's all you can eat. But nope. That was all he got. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. Next time I'll try Medieval Times or one of the other more well known dinner shows.
(2)Jason W.
Great times, good food, and good entertainment. You can't be the price considering unlimited drinks too. I will definitely come back.

We were meeting up with relatives in Orlando prior to a one day in an attraction park. Reading some of the reviews and checking the website. We booked the VIP at Capone's the jokes started right away with us looking for the will call window which actually was this guy outside. The VIP area upstairs was kind of a bust there was not enough room at the tables for us to play. We did net our free drink with VIP and it was best drinks we had that whole evening. The VIP granted us very good seats on the show room floor. There was a wide variety of food and tasted good too. Lasagna was dry but they did have sauce to help. The wait staff was very prompt with you drinks, which did not compare with the ones upstairs. I got a sugar headache instead of a buzz from the Rum Runners. The show was funny and entertaining with some audience participation. After the show you could take pictures with the cast. All in all a very good evening and purchasing the ticket on-line makes a good value.
(4)Adam D.
We were here in December of 2014. I can't wait to return. It's basically a gangster-themed dinner show. The buffet offers enough choices to satisfy most tastes, and while nothing really stood out as extraordinary food, everything tasted good. Your dinner price also includes unlimited drinks (beer included) and dessert. Everything about the meal was satisfactory, but Capone's is five stars for the show and the cast. The show integrates the servers into the production quite a bit, which I enjoyed. There is also audience interaction without making said interactions seem clumsy or forced. The players in the show were all very talented, and the male lead was hilarious. We really, really had a good time. If you're passing through Orlando, check it out.

FORK YOU Imagine an Al Capone show running in Kissimmee for the last 20 years. That's longer then most broadway musicals. The show was really cute. We went as a family and the jokes were really funny. I loved how they used jokes that were funny for the adults and the kids too. My favorite was when the gangster grabbed a fork and used it as a weapon by saying, "Fork You!" And Gangster Bugsy Malone comes back with, "No Fork You!" The joke literally brought down the house. As a family, we were surprised at how entertaining the show was. We kept waiting for the lull in the show and it never happen. We arrived at the show at 7:30pm and were given our password to enter Capone's speakeasy. A picture frame of Capone opened and we handed our ticket over. The wall opened and we were immediately put in a lineup and our photo snapped in black and white. It was really cute. The only thing that confused me was that the room was packed on the main floor. Which made no sense to me because I was told on the phone that the dinner started at 7:30 but most people were done eating. In fact, we were the last people to walk in. It was a little uncomfortable as we were squeezed into the middle of an already crowded table. Our drink order was taken and we headed over to the buffet. Now it was all you can eat but do not expect a gourmet meal here. That is understood because the theater has to make money. The soups were really bad and as a home chef I could see it was made with the leftovers from the previous nights buffet like leftover turkey and veggies. The salad bar is probably the safest bet but I'm not a huge iceberg lettuce fan. The London broil was a little tough but the stuffed pork loin was tasty. I stayed away from the mushy pasta that was sitting sauce less, so I can't really review that. I will say the meatballs were good. The lasagna was okay but it was not the best I've ever had. It was just a basic back of the box recipe. I did like the pepperoni pizza. The crust had a nice buttery crispness. Honestly I would put the food at 1 star, so you've been warned. One thing I didn't like was the guy told me on the phone that the food was available for an hour and twenty minutes. I witnessed the cook turning off the warming burners at 8pm which was only 30 minutes since the start time. I asked him how long the food would be out and he told me 8:20. I just didn't like the misinformation I received on the phone. In fact the show started at 8pm while I was grabbing food for my little one, so I kind of missed the opening musical number. Our waiter Knuckles was really good. He kept our drinks full. Now the quality of liquor wasn't great. I stuck with the white wine and the Bud Light. There was a full bar available if you want. I learned from the nice family from Honduras sitting next to me that you could get in early if you bought your own drinks. In fact, they got there at 6pm. This explains why everyone was finished eating when we walked in. It would have been nice to know that info prior to arriving at the show. Knuckles was always there with more alcohol. He also had a few parts in the show. He kept the table clean while acting and serving. The customer service was really good and that's 4 stars to me. The entertainment of the show was also 4 stars. Now none of these actors are going to win an academy award but the cute entertainment value was there. I find it ironic we were watching this show while the academy awards were going on. Just remember when you walk through that hidden door you are in Capone's Speakeasy. There will be singing, dancing and jokes and it is an entertaining ride with a cute story. Some of my favorite lines from the show: Fork You Up Yours Wisconsin Sucks We have a gift shop? So get your zoot suit on and head on over for an entertaining show. There are a bunch of on line discounts including one on yelp. So Fork You Capone! We had a forking fun family time! UP Yours! No up Yours!

We had a great time at this dinner show. Good value with discount coupon considering all you can eat buffet and all you can drink ( bottom shelf). OK for families.
(4)Jen L.
We attended this as the last show before we headed home from vacation (after attending both the Out of Control Comedy Show, and Sleuths) and unfortunately, I think it suffered a bit in comparison. We upgraded and got VIP service, arrived an hour previous to the show, and were somewhat sorry that we did - the bar/gambling aspect at the lounge wasn't something to really show up early for. They had only one table with blackjack, one with roulette, and not enough seats for everyone that wanted to play, so we would up sitting around and nursing our drink. Though we were "VIP" and supposed to be the first seated, we watched about 15 people already seated. We did get a private table for the VIP charge, though, so that was likely worth it. The food wasn't that bad - to be honest, I almost never expect much out of dinner & show fare having been conditioned by Medieval Times to expect drek, but the salad bar was fresh and the Lasagna wasn't bad at all. We did not try the carving station. Rum Runners. Holy cow, they're pretty good and plentiful. I had to threaten to take back my tip from the waiter if he didn't stop filling my glass. The waitstaff is incredibly on the ball. The show itself is cheesy, almost cartoonish, and we has some pretty boorish heckling jerks just to the right of us that started getting stupidly annoying as the show went on, but the actors held a decent cadence and were pretty funny. If you can get into it, and you get the actors on a good night, it's entertaining if you like silly comedy, wiseguy themed improv, and the occasional old song crooned out. My one major complaint is that they really do kick you to the curb when it was over - my kid wanted to meet and get photos with some of the actors, which was a typical feature at every show that we attended in Orlando on our vacation, and at this place? No dice. There's the door. Use it. Buh-bye. Um. Thanks? The fact that they mill about beforehand doesn't really take the place of that - you have no idea that they're the entertainers, or who their characters are to care about them as anything more then accents to the ambience. It was a bit of a drawback. As an experience on the whole, I think its worth it if you get/use the discounts folks have already outlined, but the presentation really needs to be tightened up a bit as a pseudo-immersion experience. It was good, but not great, and felt a bit unfriendly at the end.

Let me start by breaking this down into 2 categories. Category 1: you want to get drunk category 2: you love crappy dinner theater and chef boyardee tasting spaghetti and meatballs. If you pick option 1 then I highly reccomend. drinking wine only and not wasting your time with the jungle juice or other pink panty droppers. If its option 2 then this is the place for you. Crappy food, waaaaay worse meatballs, And even worse dancing to barely make you keep the food in your stomach. Al capones speak easy will make....your stomach un-easy.

Ok first off wow. Not what I expected. We came here for my dinner birthday and let's just say. I should of went somewhere that had Good food at least. Food here, well it's not good. It says Italian Buffet on the website but buffet at pizzahut is 100 times better. Their pizza is worse then digornio. Pasta is awful and sauce is watery. Their dinner rolls u can throw at someone and knock them out. I'm vegetarian so didn't have any of their meats but for promoting an Italian buffet, it's quite sad. Now drinks, well drinks are good. I think they want you to get drunk and forget how awful everything else is. Seats, please try to get your own table or bio balcony. Now if you end a long row table and have to sit on the end like I did and have every single drunk guest bump into you, well you will be upset like I was. Maybe even have someone bump into you and spill sauce down your back. Oh yeah how great would that be? Because it wasn't. Now. The show. Well the head singer "jewel" is awesome. She is talented and makes you laugh and smile even after an uneventful night at this place. The rest is passable. Some zzzzz times of the show but all in all not bad. Will I return here? No. Will I recommend this place to anyone that asks? No. Not unless the food gets revamped or please Do NOT advertise it as a dinner theater show when it's not s dinner. It's digornio. Ha

Ok let's be honest - if you've never been to "the theatre" without a buffet included in the price than this is probably a good time. My husband and good friend found ourselves in the Orlando area over NYE and thought we'd give this place a chance -- worst idea ever. On entrance the smell of the carpets (spaghetti vomit) hit you as you're ushered to a mugshot photo - actually the highlight of this review. Then upstairs to the "game room" - which is just a balcony area with tables that may have once in the mid 80's had games played (we observed a banged up piece of felt that was being used as a masking tape roll holder). Character Interaction includes your name being screamed in a bad Chicago accent (points though to the actors that tried). The show is bad, the food is worse, our server did not even attempt an accent or a character and kept raving about the cheesecake (which was actually strawberry short cake). Really sloppy stuff. If you want tons of free drinks and 4 hours to question your life choices this is your place. The main reason i am being so honest is the cost - this was NOT cheap!

THE best dinner and show I've even been too. Girls were sexy and the show was hilarious. Free drinks all night and food wasn't half bad. Easily worth the money in the show alone, EASILY. We were table 51 and my family got better service than in any restaurant I've been in. If you're around the area you're missing out if you don't go. Don't believe the "wanna be critics" on the reviews. These people know funny and they care about their show. Loved ever second of it, and loved the pretty blonde girl in the show ;)
(5)Cheryl M.
This place is Awesome. The food is okay. The service s great. The show is a riot. Laughed so hard my throat hurts. Not to mention my chest is aching. The unlimited drinks (alcohol) is fabulous.
(4)Roger E.
Believe it or not the food was great. We travel a lot and attend many dinner shows and usually the show out shines the food but this time it was the opposite. The meatballs were especially good. The drinks were a different issue. The white Zin was served from a plastic pitcher and was watered down. The mixed drinks and draft beer was weak. The only thing real was bottled beer and that you pay extra for. As for the entertainment I was disappointed. I was expecting more of the 1940s type dancing and music but it was more of an acting skit. When they did sing and dance it was good but too little of it. All in all it was ok but disappointing. A one time visit.
(3)Tracey S.
The show was great but the food was terrible, it was dirty and the food was not well labeled .
(2)Randy J.
This is a return visit for us. The buffet is really good food. Dena-Gena whatever is a pain of a waitress ( you will love her). The show had great audience participation. We will return whenever we are in the town.Rum Runners drink up.
(5)Laura C.
My family and I had a lot of fun. Very kitschy. I thought the food was okay. My mom got sick from it though, so if you have a sensitive stomach you are forewarned. The show was funny, and after spending a week on vacation in Florida and eating at restaurants and fast food joints the whole time this was a nice change.
(3)Gretchen R.
Capone's provided such an entertaining evening for me on my last night in Orlando. I was the last member of my group to leave (I'm from California) and this was the perfect dinner as I was dining alone. The show was on the corny side, which I loved. The buffet dinner was actually pretty good. Waiter was friendly and fun, and refilled my merlot (included in admission price) every time my glass was low. The actors were really great and I would def return next trip to Orlando area.
(5)Freddy a.
So so
(3)Scott B.
Cheesy but funny show, food was really nice for a buffet and overall we found the evening good value for money and our 13 & 9 year old children enjoyed it too. Free beverages throughout the evening were a nice touch, along with 4 complimentary Capone souvenir glasses to take home with us.
(4)J D.
One word, DECENT. The main stars of the show is the only thing that saved it from being a bad experience. They are good at what they do, the rest of the staff seemed to be unhappy to work there. The people at the ticket booth were grumpy. The waiters half heartily played supporting roles. And their table service was sometimes slacking.The food is generic, the lasagna was the only item all my party truly liked. I downed 4 or 5 rum runners but barely got a buzz, my guess is that they lightly spread the rum around the top to make it smell stronger than it is. I would have ordered wine if I had known. I overall enjoyed it as different entertainment but I don't think it deserves an award. I wouldn't go back unless they improved things. They could get a lot of business from locals if they did.
(3)Kaycee H.
We had a good time... The show was good.. The unlimited alcohol was even better- I'd give it 3 1/2 stars but its not an option... There were some hiccups. In the beginning of the show after the little video, someone canceled the video and left an open window shining on the curtain... Looked pretty bad considering I used to be an IT... The food was less than great... But for the price ($25 a person after military discount) you can't beat it... I think I drank my fill.. Lol. We have 3 little girls that we left with grandma, and I'm glad we did... They advertise this as a family friendly show and it had a lot of crude humor. Which was good for adults :) At the end of the day... Even though it sounds like a bad review it was worth checking out!!!
(4)Marie B.
The buffet was very bad. Unflavoured lasagna,few salad choices and the pork was over cooked at the carving station. The "theatre" portion was mediocre and we where constantly reminded to leave the suggested tips for the servers. I'm sorry, but I had to leave after dessert was served. Hopefully, the second act was better for the diners.
(1)Jesse R.
Where do I begin? Well, for starters, the whole thing was pretty much what I expected. Which is not a good thing. The Show: Meh. The singers were OK. But there was very little substance, and would bore to tears anyone with all but the shortest of attention spans. Don't expect plot, consistency, or really much of anything. Food: Very meh. I ended up eating the cheese off of a slice of pizza, and the ricotta out of a lasagna square. The rest just was not appetizing to me. A friend who was with me likened it to a school cafeteria during the recession. Cheapest ingredients you can find, and questionable shelf life. The dessert was an insult. It was basically more of the pizza dough with a paper-thin smear of applesauce and dusted with cinnamon and powdered sugar. Like I said, I was not expecting much, so I can't get too disappointed, right? No, son, I was disappoint. I left satisfied only because I didn't have to pay for it. Unless you're a fan of nonsensical childish cabaret and awful food, don't bother. The ONLY reason to go here is for the unlimited 'adult' beverages, and you're going to need them to get through the next 3 hours of your life. For $50 there are TONS better places to go that you could feed TWO people, not just one, AND be entertained.
(1)S M.
Had tickets bought for us and was really looking forward to the experience. It was not what I expected. You can tell the place is run down and hasn't been updated in awhile. The concept is cool...gangster era. The show was cute but nothing special. They really encourage drinking alcohol...and a lot of it. They tell you they want you drunk and they push the drinks heavy. Some drinks are free but they are well brand or cheap beer. The food was OK. The turkey was really good, probably best I've ever had...thick and juicy. We left early at the first intermission as well as others did. In fairness, we left due to some bad news from the family or else might have stayed...might.
(2)Mike S.
There is something special in my heart for dinner theaters. It combines two of my favorite things, comedy/acting and food. I think if people go into a dinner theater with a bad attitude, it doesn't matter how amazing it is, people are gonnna hate. Capone's in my eyes, is one of the better dinner theaters in Orlando. Let's break it down kids..... Food: The food is about as standard Italian gets. It is in a buffet. It ain't your momma's homemade pasta, but it holds up to be a decent and filling meal. They also offer pretty much standard Thanksgiving fixings as well, potatoes, gravy, stuffing, turkey, honey ham(mmm). A bit odd for the theme, but I wasn't complaining! Out of other shows I've gone to, it was the second best I've had. We'll say 3 stars Drinks: Man oh man, they don't skimp on the drinks! I nearly had to fight my server off from bringing me a fresh beer everytime he came by, which is a good thing, and I would have fought a lot less if I wasn't driving later. They have wine that was good, mixed cocktails, and some rum punch drink. I didn't get a chance to endluge in the liquors, but other tables were asking for pitchers of the stuff. I'd give the drinks 5 stars. Entertainment: The show is funny. Yes, the show is cheesy, but in a perfectly melted on your Philly cheesesteak cheesy. All the actors were extrememly nice, and even busted my balls for not putting a ring on the gf's finger(had a really good laugh with them). The singing wasn't bad, never a song I wished would hurry up and end. The laughs were constant and the vibe was very lively. I'd gladly give them 4 stars for the show. Bravo! All in all, Capone's is a great change of pace from your everyday dinner and boring conversation with your significant other. It seems you can always get tickets for half off (full price would be a bit rough at $60), so for about $30 you get unlimited Italian and Thanksgiving dinner, More drinks then you could fathom in a 2 hour period, and an entertaining show. Tell me ANYWHERE you could get the same amount of stuff for that price. Seriously, you just spent $30 at a dive bar last night.....Fo-get about it!
(4)Rob W.
We went, we saw, we had a good time. We were greeted by wiseguys in the parking lot and ushered in to the bar. Everyone in the place was an entertainer, the bar tender, the card dealer, everyone. Capone's has been around for at least 20 years. We could verify that because from our seat at the bar we could see the 20 years of grunge on the ceiling, yuk, that needs to be cleaned up. Next we were seated in the dining room and directed to the buffet. I thought the food was good, and a few steps above what you usually get at theme shows. I enjoyed the meatballs and roast Turkey very much. You get unlimited drinks while dining and watching the show, a nice bonus. The show was good, kind of a musical comedy, variety show. Not really too gangster specific. Anyway we had a really nice time, despite being somewhat distracted by staff vacuuming during the show.
(4)Damian W.
This is a great night out with the family! Very talented actors and wait staff. The food was obviously made for the masses, but you're paying for the entertainment. Drinks are ok, but again...family night! Drive safely!
(4)Tricia A.
I would definitely go back! The food was better that expected. Service was good, very attentive.
(4)Josh H.
The food was discusting. Our server brought out some fresh plates and one of them had a small bug running around on it. At that point we were all done eating. Some of the reviews talk about how their glasses were always kept full but mine was not. And the beer was warm. The show was funny at times, but not appropriate for kids. When a guest said he was from Texas a performer decided to break out the "only steers and queers come from Texas" joke. Nobody laughed. I would not recommend this place, the food really seriously might have been the worst I've ever had anywhere.
(1)David M.
As a restaurant I would give this place 3 stars, but as a Dinner Show I would say 4 stars is good. The show is entertaining, the performers are talented in quick wit, singing, and acting. The food is mediocre at best, but when you consider the price of $30 for a 2 hour show, unlimited beer/wine/drinks, what would you expect? It wasn't terrible. They do try to sell you a picture package, but very low pressure sales. They basically dropped the pictures at your table and left it with the prices. Someone came by later to see if you wanted it or not without asking you to buy anything. Not the best show, not the best food, but it was a great night out for $30 a person so I would definitely say go check it out.
(4)Joshua S.
So much fun! I would definitely recommend this to anyone my whole group loved it. Slim was our waiter. He was funny and kept the drinks full. Best deal in Orlando all week as far as I'm concerned.
(5)Justin R.
While in Orlando on vacation we tried this place out. Well worth the ticket. Food was decent drinks were kept full and the entertainment was great. I'd recommend getting the Internet special 50% off tickets and VIP was worth the extra to go through the dinner line first
(4)Michelle F.
I have gone to Capone's twice in the span of a month. It was just as great the second time round. I went with my friends the first time to try it out and see if it was a great place to take my grandparents for their 46 anniversary. Overall two thumbs up and if I had more there would be. The buffet was had some great choices but the ones they kept getting praise while I was there were the meatballs, lasagna, and at the carving station the pork chops, and the London broil. Everything else that was on the line was great too but those were the highlights. The waiters both times we went were very cheery and you could tell they had fun. The show was overall hilarious and the best part is it was more adult humor but censored for younger children. Overall I would come again and again for the price they offered. It's definitely a gem (ya see what I did there) hidden away but I am glad I decided to check it out.
(5)Rob A.
Excellent Value for $30-$35 (includes dinner & drinks!) For the money all 3 are excellent food, show and drinks. I like to visit this dinner show once a year. Talented and entertaining wait staff & entertainers. Onwners & Management should be proud to offer our area a high quality, reasonably price dinner show. Excellent for visitors who may not be rich.
(5)Fred W.
This is NOT, I repeat NOT what I would call a family friendly show for kids. The jokes all revolve around sex, drinking, etc and are not appropriate for children even though they advertise this show as family friendly. Alcohol flows freely and creates an environment that kids should not be around. During our show tonight we had one drunk person calling out profanities throughout the show and was not asked to leave by the the staff. If you like this kind of comedy the entertainment is ok and the food is fair but leave your kids at home.
(2)Emily G.
In the interest of full discosure, I was offered tickets to go see Capone's and have dinner on 'the family,' but that said, I'm going to try very hard to review the show, atmosphere, food, and experience as is I had been a paying customer. The regular price for dinner & a show at Capone's is $60 per adult, but you'd be hard pressed to find someone who paid full price, as there are all sorts of discounts and coupons available if you take 30 seconds to google it. Even their website sometimes runs a special for 50% off. I'm not sure if I think the experience and food were worth $60, but I'd definitey be willing to go back again at $30/person. Also, something to consider is that in addition to beer & wine that are generally included in the price at other dinner shows, they also offer a few different mixed drinks and a pretty delicious rum runner punch, so that adds to the value for some people. Normally, seating for dinner is at 7:30pm. If you arrive at least an hour early, instead of waiting in line outside in the heat, you can head inside early and go upstears to the private bar. To do this, you do have to purchase at least one drink per person, even if it's just soda. The bartenders were friendly, and the performers who came up to take us to our tables stayed in character even when they had to delay us a few minutes. Once we were seated downstairs, the table aready had salad (with dressing on the side - awesome for preventing sogginess) and breadsticks, and our server came over to get our drink orders as soon as we sat down. He was awesome, and kept our drinks refilled all night, made sure we got more breadsticks when we wanted some more. He also stayed in character the entire night, and was just a great server in general. Be forewarned, though - they really like to keep you drinking, and might tease you a little bit if you're the DD or you just want some water/soda, though it does go with the whole speakeasy theme. Some people expect that kind of 'interaction' at dinner theater shows, and some don't, so I thought I should mention it. Also, the performers were already out and about, interacting with different tables, which was a nice way to give you something to watch without making you fee rushed to eat. Once we were finished with salad, we were told to go to the buffet whenever we were ready. The buffet isn't huge, but it was sizable, with a good selection of classic Italian food, and an almost equal seection of 'standard' buffet fare - mashed potatoes, stuffing, ham, turkey, roast beef. We loaded our plates up with a variety of options. The best things I had were the pizza (cheese & pepperoni were both available), the meat lasagna (there was also veggie lasagna), and the mashed potatoes. The spaghetti was pretty generic, but not bad, and the same goes for the mac & cheese. We were underwhelmed by the roast beef and the stuffing. I'd say stick to the Italian food. Also, some items could've been hotter - the meatballs seemed kind of lukewarm to me. Your waiter will happily get you a clean plate if you'd like to take another trip. It definitely was not close to the worst food I've had at a local dinner theatre, but it also wasn't super high quality. It was a good dinner, and combined with the show, atmosphere, and drinks, I think it was worth the cost. On to the show! All of the performers were fantastic, and the singing and dancing was great. I believe they've been doing the same show for a few years, but the person who was with me remembered seeing this show two visits ago and then a different one in between, so the might rotate them. The nice thing about this show was that it wasn't a murder mystery, so you didn't really have to do any 'work' as audience members, though there was still enough audience interaction to keep you from feeling like you were just watching a normal play. There were also more adult jokes - nothing offensive - than I expected, which was great. All of the performers worked really well together, even if something threw them off, which was awesome to see. At intermission, they brought out dessert. It would be nice to have 2 or 3options to choose from, but the chocolate cake that was the only option was pretty good, and you could also have coffee if you wanted to. At this point, you also had the option of purchasing souvenir photos. The photos are different from most packages you can get at other similar places, as they're actually themed to the 'criminal' lineup backdrop they shoot the photos in front of, which was fun. After admission, the show finishes up, and that's the end of the night! Overall, it was a lot of fun, the food was alright, and the entertainment is awesome. I would definitely recommend checking it out if you're looking for a different experience from Medieval Times or the other 'murder mystery' dinner theatres in the area, but be sure to check their website (or google) for specials they're running to save some money.
(3)Les G.
When I went here with friends, I had reservations expecting something else. While campy, I enjoyed the show and entertainment. The servers kept the humor running when the actors were off stage and the food was what I expected. Definitely worth going to see and I do plan to ago again with friends. The actors were a lot of fun and seem to enjoy the roles. I 'm giving 4 stars because there is room for improvement and I did feel a little cramped (I expected dinner tables, not rows, for example). I look forward to my next visit.
(4)Michael A.
* Food was better than some places I've been to in Vegas on recent travel. * Show was entertaining: the staff did well to engage the crowd as foils for their own acts. * Staff used self-depreciation to humorous effect. "You'll want a drink when you try the food!" * They take your picture at entry, then during intermission, they will offer you a chance to buy mementos: came out better than what you're offered over at the Universal rides.
(4)Angelica C.
We had an incredible time!!! Yes, the show was a bit cheesy. But the time frame the theatre is set in, 1920's-30's was a very cheesy time. All about laughs and endings where everything works out. The food was good, not over the top amazing but good. In fact, it was better food than the Alahambra dinner theatre in Jacksonville! And it was PACKED on a Saturday night. We loved the acting and the overall interaction of the service staff and cast. Everyone is in character before, during and after the show, and as an actress I LOVED that. Great talent with a good script and so much fun. The reason why I gave four stars instead of five was minor technical things like not all the lights on the stairs working, (Half of the lights out on certain steps, etc). That was the ONLY issue we had. It's fun, and expensive, but you can always find 50% coupons which tells me that their more about bringing people in for a good time than making money, which is awesome. Definitely try it out!!!
(4)James B.
Great show great buffet and all you can drink which is amazing. Best dinner show. Honestly love going to this place.
(5)Chad R.
This Amazing dinner show has been around for many years the show is based on gangsters and Al Capone the idea is that you're in a stuffie speakeasy during the Prohibition era the acting is done by professional actors the food quality has come up over the last couple of years and still unlimited alcohol and non beverages if you're looking for a great way to spend an evening a way from the hustle and bustle of the theme park world this is a place to relax and unwind and have a great time.
(5)Carlee R.
The show was fantastic but the buffet left some to be desired. The show was witty and entertaining. The wait staff were great and kept the drinks full in front of you. The food was cold and not what I expected.
(3)Sabrina B.
This has to be the cheesiest dinner show in the area lol. The acting is not even high school level. The food is served buffet style and was already setup prior to anyone being let into the theatre. It consisted of a sad salad some dried out yet mushy pasta and some mushy tasteless canned veggies. The following show was only amusing because it was so overly corney.
(2)J. R.
My girlfriend and I had a great time. The performers seemed like they were having a lot of fun and the servers were attentive. Further, some places like this offer "unlimited drinks" and don't keep your glass full, this place says it and means it. Look, if you've made it far enough to look this place up on yelp, buy your tickets! We had a blast.
(4)ChyAnn C.
Yes, Capone's is campy, corny and cheesey. And no, don't go for the food. The food (at best) is fair. However, we were looking for laughs, a few drinks and a good time. Capone's fit the need. My husband and I had a great time! Laughed! Dressed the part... and smiled.
(3)Stewart R.
Awful, unappetizing food. Extremely cheesy performances. I was uncomfortable throughout. Some talented actors working with a pretty lame script. The place is not well run at all, despite having a great theme and enthusiastic people working there.
(1)Ruth D.
Show and food were poor. Some funny parts and friendly staff but overall, I would have skipped this. I'm pretty sure that they always have "half price" tickets for sale in order to lure in more guests. It's not worth it, even it at "half price." Skip this and check out other options in the area.
(1)Jay N.
Food was not great. Had been sitting on a buffet for at least 45 minutes when we got in line. We were the second table at the buffet. Drinks were kept full, but the mixed drinks were very weak. If you order beer or wine you got your fill. Show was cheesy, but I was not overly disappointed in it. The big let down was the quality of the food and the service.
(2)Kathryn W.
My husband and I went last night for Valentine's Day, since our Valentine's tradition is doing cheesy stuff in tourist town that we'd never otherwise do since we live in Orlando and typically try to steer clear of Kissimmee. We basically chose Capone's because we thought it would be funny to go and because there was a 50% off coupon online, but we both ended up having a great time! The staff was fantastic, they were all in character the whole time and were all friendly, helpful, and attentive. It seemed like they really enjoyed what they were doing and they really helped to keep the overall vibe fun. The show was funny and the acting was good, corny but intentionally so. The food was fine, not unbelievable but nothing to complain about. I feel like some of the other reviewers mistakenly thought they were going to see a realistic rendition of The Godfather complete with entrees from Del Frisco's, which is just ridiculous. It is what it is! And for what it is, it's good. With the coupon on their website it was only $30 each, and for a show, a buffet, and unlimited free booze, I thought it was well worth it. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5: When we arrived, there was a huge line outside. We ended up not having to wait in it at all because we booked tickets online, which was awesome, but we very nearly got in the back of the line because we didn't know what was going on or where we were supposed to be. We just luckily happened to see someone in a costume in the middle of a bunch of people that looked like he was handing out tickets, so we asked him. I don't know if this is how it always is or if it's because it was Valentine's Day. It also took a super long time before everyone was seated and the show began, which wasn't awful for us since we were seated early and were enjoying interacting with the cast inside, but would have probably sucked had we been in that line for well over an hour. We also didn't leave until almost midnight, which I wasn't expecting. But again, maybe this is just because it was Valentine's Day, and it didn't ruin the night.

My family and I came from Chicago to Orlando to see the sights and whatnot for the week of the fourth of July. I only asked to go to Al Capone's Dinner and show. I asked the hotel concierge what he thought of the place and he recommend that I not go to there because it is kind of lame and the other concierge by him also shook his head and said not to, however I decided not to take their advice and go by the good reviews I read. The more I read about it, the more excited I got. So we went there on the fourth of July, our last night there. When we got there the first thing I did was go in to the gift shop. I was looking around for some things to get my parents and decided to get my mom a white headband thing they had, she said it was not for her and she asked me to return it and insisted I buy something for myself for the $7 that the headband costed so I returned the headband, although the woman there wasn't thrilled and told me I can not buy anything there again for the night...rude! The police officer was nice and funny in the line we were waiting in. Once we got in, at 8pm we were greeted by the rest of the amazing staff which included Miss Jewel, our server, and others. We were then called up to the buffet, which for vegetarians like ourselves didn't include much. But, we are an exception since most people eat meat and the buffet should be fine for them. The salad bar and the rest of the food seemed fresh and good to me. Also the Unlimited drinks and food was great. Our server was also amazing and talked to us a lot and made sure our cups were never empty. The show is what killed it for me. Being so excited for CAPONE's Dinner and SHOW, I was severely let down. 90% of the jokes were about people being cheap and how they should pay a good tip...yes you read it correctly 90% of the show is about how people should pay a good tip. Also when you sit down there is a card telling you you should pay $7 in tips per adult and $5 per child. which, our server was great and he probably deserved every penny of it. But seriously, does Capone's not pay their employees that they spend 90% of the show telling their customers to? Also Al Capone is in the show for about 5-10 minutes all together. Wait...no he isn't...He is in a movie in the show...their management was probably too cheap to do that. Yet, the staff had to call a family the cheap family...probably written in their script by management. Also the actors probably had to fill in some of the time with random stand up about the audience, which was amusing for me...much more than the written part, but my father started falling asleep because of boredom. The actors were great however and I could see that they all were very talented even with their script, which for someone who gets easily impressed the script ruined it for me. They did have some jokes (not many) that were funny, and many that were inappropriate for young children and/or awkward for young adults visiting with their parents. If you do go, do yourself a favor and order your tickets online for half price because you will feel like you are getting stolen from for $60 per person full price. I am planning on returning to Orlando, just not Capone's unless they do something to their horrid script. Moral of the story...listen to your hotel concierge. Pros: -Decent unlimited buffet and alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks -Great cast -AMAZING servers Cons: -Terrible script which forces actors to beg for tips -Mean gift shop woman

Went to this show to make my girlfriend happy. seen the clips on you tube and was not to impressed. We get to the building and this this guy in a zoot suit hanging out with the whole line keeping everyone entertained while we all wait for the doors to open. Once it was time to go into the show, it was like you are at the mob hang out spot... secret doors, passwords..... loud cocky Italians just like you would think the mob guys were. the food..... All you can eat Italian food. meatballs, spaghetti, chicken parmigiana, pot roast, ham, mash potatoes/ gravy... bread sticks. All the food was great. Now they do advertise UNLIMITED DRINKS.... beer, couple mixed drink choices, and soda........ the mixed drinks are not watered down, the beer is cold and the soda is soda. and your cup will never be empty.. We had Joey Too Slow as our waiter and he was great, i was drinking beer and my girlfriend was drinking rum and coke. we never looked for the waiter for a refill, our cups were always full or half empty.. GREAT SERVICE!!!!!! The Show ........FUN!!! I was stunned at the whole thing. they really got the act down. never missed a beat!! your cheeks will hurt leaving this place. They have a scripted show they go by, but there was a lot of improv also throughout the show.. which made the show that much better! while on our trip we went to three shows.. Pirates, Arabian nights and this show.. three totally different shows but hands down the Capone Dinner and Show was the best! by the way there is a coupon in one of the tourist guide books that gives you 50% discount on the show/dinner..

While the food is just okay, the show is wonderful! The servers get involved with the show and the cast is of Broadway caliber. The gangsters are funny, the songs are vibrant, and the dancing is phenomenal! It's well worth the money! I am going for my second time this week!

Ok, honestly the Original show was much much better, if it were still the same show I would rate this place a 5. People often say the food is horrible, well I have been to plenty of dinner shows in the area and by far Capones has the best food, plus its ayce. The alcohol drinks are watered down, but hey, they are free... and I don't think children would really enjoy this show. BUT for the price (find yourself a coupon, there everywhere) and the food and the show, it's a fun night out.

We live in the Orlando area. When we want to have a fun night out at a dinner theater, we go to Capone's. The staff is awesome, unlimited booze, fun show and service, etc. The food is not the greatest, but don't go for the food. If you want awesome food, don't go to any touristy dinner theater. It's a well-run, fun night out.

Don't know if it's still there or not, but if it is ... pass. Food was absolutely horrible. Almost as if they just poured generic Chef Boyardee into the Sterno tray and served it. Show wasn't even that funny. I guess when you can find 50% off coupons everywhere it must not be that good. Oh well, live and learn.
