Mystery Café Dinner Theatre San Diego

The Mystery Café Dinner Theatre is considered the longest open dinner theatre in the United States, and San Diego, California. The theater offers an evening out for residents and visitors to the area, with all shows having a murder mystery as part of the menu. Visitors get to participate in the performance, alongside professional actors. For 20 years this location has been a hit and been given the Finest Service Award.

The theater is located at 5638 Lake Murray. They also have shows performed off site at the Imperial House Restaurant, which is at 505 Kalmia Street, San Diego. At the moment they have Shotgun Wedding Anniversary as their regular show, not the murder mystery. However, they do change their shows for both types of productions. Tickets are $59.50 per person with a four course meal, show, and tax included in that cost. Gratuity is not part of the price, thus visitors are encouraged to tip their wait staff. Tickets can be bought online or at their box office.

The menu includes a choice of main entrée such as short rib, chicken cordon bleu, chicken apple almond, or homestyle vegetable lasagna. They also offer appetizer, garden salad, minestrone soup, and dessert.
