My husband and I attended the Broadway Palm last evening to enjoy a terrific dinner and a great show - Mama Mia. I was a little reluctant to go because of COVID but I felt very safe. The tables are spaced widely apart and dinner is served at your table instead of at the buffet. Masks are required except while you are enjoying your dinner and the staff wears masks and gloves. It was a wonderful evening.

Excellent food tonight, the crab stuffed salmon was the best meal I ever had here. Dino and friends was good too, especially Sammy Davis Jr. Brought back old memories.

What can I say except all of the 5-star reviews are accurate. The parking lot is safe, well-lit, free, and easy to get in & out. The facility itself is very clean, attractive, and inviting. The entire staff is friendly and helpful. The food is terrific for kids and adults. All of the shows I have seen have been enjoyable and very professionally performed. Finally, the price is very reasonable. I do not live in The Fort Myers area, but I visit frequently, and I always try to catch a dinner show at the Broadway Palm. Love this place.

We usually come once a week. We were so excited when this location reopened. I appreciate the tasty chicken items and my personal favorite is the Mediterranean Salad with grilled chicken. Its delicious! My husband loves the buffalo blue chicken sandwich and my kids love their kids tenders and fries. Their staff is very friendly and the building is always clean. As a mom, I really appreciate the hand washing station as you first enter the restaurant. My kids are enamored with using the foot pedal to opperate the sink. We love this store and their food--its fast and delicious. (For our family of 4 we typically spend 30.00 with no extras like milk shakes)

A great show with decent food. The menu entrée is definitely better than the buffet.

Show was nice, certainly talented cast. Wait service was first rate. Food quality has declined dramatically over the years. Have been coming here for 17 years and it used to be first rate. Sadly would say its better food at a fast food place. Sad.

My first time here. The show was great, but also the staff. They took great care with the covid and made sure everyone was distanced and safe. The food was excellent with so many choices, and much more than I expected. The service was excellent as well! Will be back for sure!

They were able to have a dinner theater operation here during the covid crisis by careful planning. They normally have a main stage production, usually a musical, which I normally dont care for and a smaller comedy in the smaller theater. They ran the comedy in the much larger theater and there was plenty of room for social distancing.I always really enjoy the comedies; this was Love, Sex and the IRS.and I had a great time. The food was better than in the past, when it was a very good buffet. It was now a plated meal;I had prime rib, which was spot on. Great sides,too. Make sure to opt for the dessert sampler. I am not sure how they are going to do big scale musicals during the pandemic; they just announced that they have cancelled The Sound of Music . Cant wait for more comedies!!!

Went there for a private party - baby shower. It was perfect! The catered meal was delicious, the venue decorated beautifully - loved it! I had now idea you could do a private event there, would definitely consider this venue in the future.

We have been season subscribers since our move to SW Florida 4 years ago. We drive over an hour for each play in our subscription and are never disappointed. The actors are top notch, the productions are amazing, great meals and attentive staff! When they had to cancel some of the productions this season it was a loss to the people who had tickets but the Prather family put the health and safety of everyone in the forefront. In addition to that they donated meals to people who were out of work after they made the decision to close. When they reopened they followed all procedures to keep their staff and guests safe. We were supposed to be there for the first production of the Sound of Music July 8. We received a call the day before informing us that due to the rising numbers of positive cases they made the decision to close. This was again a loss to their team as well as their guests. We feel very comfortable to go there next season. We have 6 productions we are booked for and hope all goes well. They are a class act.

So happy the BP has reopened! Had a wonderful evening with family and friends. The buffet was very good with servers now and fewer tables due to Covid.

Great place to start exposing your children to musical theater. If they can sit and enjoy say local production of Wizard of Oz then ill get out more money for Broadway tickets when we are in NYC next, or Barbara B. Mann. The food is a nice addition to a great local production

This place is GREAT! The parking lot is safe and well maintained, the inside from front to back is very clean, and bathrooms are on point with the rest of the place. Bar prices are very fair and they offer souvenir cups for a couple of extra bucks. The Staff from the bartender, waitress, busboy, host and hostesses are very well trained, polite, and move fast. The actress and actors in the show are very good all around. Great singers, performers, props made it a very enjoyable show. We had the opportunity to see Buddy the Elf in the theatre the day we showed up. They also had a fun place with props to take pictures, which we capitalized on to the fullest extent. The ticket price came with a buffet that was just AWESOME! It had everything you could possible ask for. We went on thanksgiving so the buffet offered all the fixings of a home cooking. Definitely worth checking out.

Review №25

The entire experience reminded me of being on a large cruise ship. There dinner, served buffet style, was...okay. The play was slightly better than okay. A couple of very talented actors and many others in the cast who were....okay. A very large area filled with tables. Im guessing at least 500 diners in the audience. Nothing about the evening felt special, which is always a letdown when seeing a performance.

Review №26

A great unique place that we will definitely go back to. We didnt know what to expect but loved it. The food was amazing, the people very kind, and the play (Kinky Boots) greatly exceeded our expectations. The only thing I would change is the amount of space each person is allotted. It is very tight yet understandable since they try to get as many tables and seats in the space given.

Always phenomenal! Good parking system, efficient to get in and out. Friendly and professional staff. Most times people dress formal to business casual depending on the event/play, and its a good atmosphere. Drinks available before showtime, good selection. Water and light snacks available for a higher price, but still within reason.

I have been to the Broadway Palm Dinner Theater several times over the years. The quality of their shows has vastly improved recently. Its a nice evening out for theater fans. Its a decent value for the price considering you get a good selection at the dinner buffet and an entertaining production afterwards. I highly recommend it.

What a beautiful place and delicious Buffet probably the best in Florida. And if you havent seen Kinky Boots you need to go there. Such an awesome play!Only one complaint and it wasnt about the venue. While waiting in one of the bathrooms one of the workers was in line and we explain to her that two of the three bathrooms were not working. Her, was not my job!

I have been going here with family for over 20 years. Generally the shows are awesome and the food is terrific. This time around the show, Finding Never land made me almost want to walk out! The singers were outstanding, just the play was a bad play. Then the food this time around was like hospital food. I went home hungry. The service this time was better than ever before!!!!! Sadly I cant remember our servers name but he was a sweet, friendly and funny older black man. Great guy! I think his helpers name was Jennifer. She was equally as awesome. Together they made the evening worth it.

Really good dinner theatre! The buffet has decent food, with really good desserts and coffee. The shows have been excellent, the acting and singing always above average. They have a cozy bar and nice souvenir shop. We have had many enjoyable nights at the Broadway Palm. Tonight we saw “Grumpy Old Men”, which was fun, and the singing and harmonies were terrific. The servers work well in tandem, making the whole operation go smoothly. We have never been disappointed here

I absolutely love the Broadway Palm. My first show was Grease back in 1999 and I have been hooked ever since. I recommend it to many people and have even given tickets to some as gifts. Every year, I eagerly await my new subscription to arrive so I can see what awesome shows are coming next.

Review №54

Up to now I really enjoyed Broadway Palm. But when Covid hit and they had to cancel everything instead of returning our money they gave us a gift certificate. The gift certificate is for $48 because we had a group rate but when we use it we must pay an extra nine dollars to get the single rate. I find this offensive that they make out because of Covid. We had a contract for a group but now we are penalized because they canceled. I would’ve expected my money back I did not expect to have to pay more money because of all this it has happened.

I just saw the Beauty and the Beast performance and it was phenomenal! Every actor portrayed their character flawlessly! It was truly amazing watching the movie come to life on stage! Lumiere and Cogsworth couldnt of been casted any better! Belles voice was outstanding and sounded just like the original song in the Disney film. Truly a wonderful experience, I was smiling the whole time!Apart from the play the dining experience was just as wonderful! The management team really tries to provide you with an enjoyable experience along with their gracious wait staff! I cannot wait to go back again!

The show we saw Beauty and the Beast was excellent! The makeup and the stage props were so good. The food was mostly delicious. As were the salads and desserts. The staff is very friendly and helpful. If you order soda, that is an extra charge after the price of your dinner tickets. Stay far away from the fried chicken pieces. Way over warmed into leather.

The dinner is buffet style and the food is not good. The dessert was good (sort of hard to screw that up) and it was nice to get a souvenir glass with a cocktail purchase. Its a shame the food isnt better because we actually really enjoyed the show (Beauty and the Beast). Probably wont go back.

Review №96

I wasnt really expecting much since this was a mature dinner theater venue setting and with Kinky Boots as the performance, my wife and I were prepared to leave at intermission if necessary. Having seen Kinky twice on Broadway (we have lived in NJ forever and been Broadway, NJ, and Phila theater regulars since the 60s) our expectations for the Palm production werent very high, especially after seeing the very meager set design - just a door off to the right with a Price&Sons sign.But once the show started we were blown away! First, the sound system was outstanding. A few weeks earlier we attending two shows at the Barbara Mann center (Jersey Boys, Cats) and found their sound system abysmal. Palms sound system was as good NYCs New World Stage, Sondheim, Marqui, etc etc. The performers could easily be Broadway caliber. The girl who played Lauren was just outstanding.Just be prepared to see lots of mature folk, a reasonable buffet, and pretty good seating.We plan on returning next year and hopefully theyll be performing the new West Side story which we will see in June on Broadway.........:-)

Loved the Off Broadway Sex Please cute funny. buffet awkward had to travel to main for the hot food when there was obviously a set up for the hot in the room we were eating in. When you enter the main the isle is crowded with people coming and going with their food plates. Im surprised they dont have mishaps.Food fair, it has been better other visits
