My wife and I enjoyed our wedding anniversary on the Halloween Night "Devil's Train" Mystery Train! Food was outstanding (prime rib), the service was first class (Gasparilla Car) and the actors were very entertaining and tried to engage with everyone. WE WILL BE BACK!!! Worth every penny!

It started off bad for us because we are not drinkers. We waited over an hour just to get coffee and water while they served all the tables that ordered alcohol. The actors and actresses did a good job acting but the story plot wasn't very good. The salad we had was awful,the soup was blah but the main entree was delicious & the pumpkin pie was good. Overall the cost is too high so it will only be a one time deal for us.

First time with this theater experience in Florida. Having been to this type type of entertainment around the country, I found the experience long. The same actors/skit is being shared with another train car, causing downtime and long breaks. The setup and food was outstanding. The servers were friendly and very proficient. The 1920's decor was fantastic. The cost is on-pointe.

This was my first time on a dinner train. Well organized. Friendly staff. Clean train.
Food was great. Lots of courses served. Pace yourself.
The performed murder mystery was the best. The actors are enthusiastic, well rehearsed, and very entertaining.
The train ride goes over the River. The train stops to view the sunset over the water.
Overall my grade is A++. I will be back when my family comes to Florida for visits.
