Haunted Dinner Theater, Williamsburg, Virginia, A Haunted Show and an Endless Seafood Buffet

There is no question that there is a lot to do in Williamsburg, Virginia. A large majority of the sites and attractions are history related, but not all of them. The Haunted Dinner Theater is one popular attraction that can give you a break from the walking involved in most of Williamsburg's attractions.

The Haunted Dinner Theater, located at 5363 Richmond Road, Route 60 in Williamsburg provides visitors a fun night out that is appropriate for the entire family. Upon hearing the word "haunted'', one visitor from Pennsylvania was unsure that it would be a good idea to bring his 10-year-old daughter, who is easily spooked. He called ahead and learned that there is nothing scary about the show, and that it is more of a fun, mystery, whodunit, type of show.

He said, "They were right. I brought my whole family, and everyone had a blast.''

The theater is located in the back part of Captain George's World Famous Restaurant. Their all you can eat seafood buffet is included in the price of the ticket. With over seventy items on the buffet, there is something for everyone. Some of the items include snow crab legs, prime rib, fried shrimp, seafood casserole, fried chicken, a dozen other entrees and too many side dishes and desserts to list.

One visitor from Boston was also worried about bringing his kids, but for a different reason. He said they are pretty particular about what they will and will not eat. He said that while the show was ok, "the acting wasn't very professional, but it was better than other murder mystery dinners I've been to,'' that the food was great. He said that not only was the buffet huge, but that there was plenty of food to choose from, even for the pickiest of eaters in his family.

The show changes annually and some visitors go back year after year. Once visitors are seated, they are invited to go to the buffet. Then the mystery theater begins. As they eat their dinner, the actors drop clues as to "whodunit'' so the participants can try to solve the mystery.

After the first act, they are invited back to the buffet, and will have other opportunities to visit the buffet throughout the evening. There are special celebration packages available for anniversaries and birthdays.

The Haunted Theater is located near much of the best shopping in Williamsburg and many weary shoppers have found that it is a nice way to end a day spent at the Pottery or the outlet malls.
