“ Loved our experience at this dinner theatre! Supposedly this is the only dinner theater left in the DMV area and I can see why! When you arrive, someone escorts you to your table that you are sharing with others. You are invited to the buffet and then share a meal together with your table. Then, the show begins! It was very well executed and I loved being "on the floor" right next to all the activity! The props were solid and the singing was fantastic. It was such a fun night! ”
“ I've been here a few times and always had wonderful experiences! I've seen Cats, Pirates of Penzance, Shrek, and most recently, we celebrate our anniversary watching The Chorus Line! Buffet is always served first, which comes with bread, salad, and hot meal options of carved turkey, beef roast, chicken, fish, and vegetables. My favorite is the beef roast, and cheesy spinach casserole. I also like that they have alcohol and mock tails served in a souvenir glass with the play's logo, very fun to collect! The service is amazing! The performers bring out the drinks, and the pre show host recognizes guesses celebrating birthdays and anniversaries. The plays are in the middle of the stage, so there are no bad seats. This is a great place to see a great show and have a nice dinner. Especially for special celebrations. We look forward to come back soon, in March to see The Beauty and the Beast! ”
“ We had a GREAT time here watching Grease. It reminds me of the 80s in a positive way when buffets were popular. They have a simple salad bar for starters and then a hot bar and dessert bar. The hot bar had two meats and a fish and I think shrimp. They had several veggies and pasta dishes, so something for everyone. My favorite was the white rice and fish along with the green beans and spinach and cheese. I passed on the desert but did but their signature mocktale, pink lady. It was sooo good! ”
“ Great shows and perfect lay-out. No bad seats in the house. Delicious food with lots of variety. Easy parking ”
“ What an amazing experience - AGAIN! This was my 3rd time at Toby's. Tonight we saw 9-5 and it was awesome. The buffet was good, lots of options - try the house special spinach dish, it was my favorite thing on the menu! The signature cocktail was the Sweet & Sassy which was kind of a boozy milkshake in a commemorative glass to take home. Service was excellent - I think Mark took care of us, but it is really a team effort. The whole process is perfectly coordinated. Looking forward to the new space and what's next for this gem. ”
“ I love Toby's! My husband and I have seen around 30 shows there over the last 20 years. The acting, dancing, singing, costumes, and props have always been top notch. The dinner buffet is also quite tasty with a large variety of food. It's extra fun to have your table service provided by one of the performers in the show. Oh, and the drinks are delicious! Some are even served in a souvenir glass you can take home. If you are looking for a great way to spend an evening with family or friends, Toby's is a perfect option! ”
“ My wife and I absolutely love Toby's. How fortunate we are to live near one of the few remaining dinner theatres that run musicals instead of some kind of cheesy fixed show. Their talent works hard to wait on tables, as well as performing their hearts out. The talent is excellent and while production values are strong given their resources. The food...well, it's good. The adult drinks are well-mixed and generous. And of course, we enjoy seeing theatre-in-the-round. Being around fellow theatre-goers is fun, too. Thank you for being there. ”
“ Jersey Boys was incredible! Broadway quality for the acting and singing. There's so much food. The earlier you get there the earlier you can get called for the buffet. There an once cream buffet and cake as well. Coffee and water are included. Bring cash to tip. The waiters are the actors and they are so nice. ”
“ Absolutely LOVE Toby's! The food is always wonderful (nothing fancy but wonderful comfort food options that are filling). I also love getting the signature drink every time we go (they are always tasty and the take home glass is the best!) The shows are also phenomenal. As a theater lover, it's so fun to see the shows up close and in an intimate setting. It's fun to see new and returning cast members for each new show. It's a truly a family feeling experience! I also can't speak highly enough of the talent staff who also serve as the waiters! They are so diligent with both roles. Always a wonderful experience! ”
