Station Dinner Theatre in Erie

The time on the advertisement was 7pm-10pm and we didn't get out until 11.  We saw Canterbury which was fun.  The waiter/waitress was part of the play.  Some were better than others.  We had to eat the food with our hands (soup/bread/whole chicken). After spending $200 for a party of 5 we had to pay extra for drinks which only comes in pitchers. So everyone at the table had to agree or you got...

Great place for a dinner theater, at a reasonable price located close to the Millcreek Mall. The location is in an old railroad car, that is suprisingly larger of a venue then it apears outside. Their is a bar to order drinks in prior to doors opening for the show, the drinks are geared toward the show. The meal starts with salad, bread, soup followed by main entree, watch some of the play then their is a break for dessert.

The play recently saw was Four Old Broads, was hillarous and very well casted and performed. The Station Dinner Theater offers different plays geared for everyone.

This review was hard to do because there are really two separate things to review. As for the entertainment, I'd give it a solid 5 stars. The play was great and entertaining. The actors did a wonderful job. That said, everything went down from there... and fast. The place smelled like an old camp that hasn't been maintained. There was mildew and mold everywhere. Honestly, I'm surprised they don't get cited. The food was absolutely terrible! It was basically the equivalent to microwave dinners, just not that good. Everything was served family style in beat up tin pots. The chicken Parmesan was basically cheap chicken fingers with bad sauce. The Salisbury steak or Swiss steak or whatever they called it, crumbled and was so dry I barely could get it down without drinking something. Now what gets me is this: when you get there, after you've paid a steep price for your admission, you find out the only thing that the actors/waiters make is what you tip them. They deserved good tips and we did. However, after I asked my wife, what the heck were we paying $40 a ticket for? The place was a dump and they pro...
