The food was excellent and they actually follow the special instructions that you put in when ordering your food when you purchase the tickets. From what I saw, everyone in the place enjoyed their food and most all played were empty when picked up. The entire staff was very friendly and inviting, the hosts, waitstaff and performers were just the best. The actors perform in the dining room which seats about 70-80 people, it's cozy without being cramped. The show was funny and entertaining, well performed by the cast and had good pacing. The mystery was fairly simple to solve, but we didn't expect a high degree of difficulty to begin with. There's a bit of audience interaction during the show, mostly some mild trading and some jokes, you're not going to be performing. The actors hang out after the show to pose for pictures of you want for no fee, which was nice. I would definitely come again to see the show.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was our first dinner and a show experience. It was wonderful. Walking in we were met by Seth the possum rancher as his possum Petey, which will surprise you. Dinner was tasty and the drinks were flowing. Then production began and laughter filled the entire space, as both the actors and audience interacted throughout the murder mystery dinner theater. Go have a meal and enjoy yourselves. You will not be disappointed.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a wonderful experience! The food is great. I have been to another murder mystery dinner, and so my expectation of how I expected the food to taste was very low. I was surprised at how good it was!  The service was great. The atmosphere is perfect. I went with one other person. Our table had 6 other people sitting at it. They staff is so friendly and are really helpful in getting everyone out of their comfort zone and get everyone talking to each other. The show was hilarious and very entertaining and they definitely keep you  involved!  It was great experience all the way around and I’m planning on going back in a couple weeks with 3 more people!

Oil's Well that Ends Well

at Texas Star Dinner Theater
January 16 - November 14, 2026
816 S Main St, Grapevine, TX 76051

Welcome, dear guests, to the wake of Derrick Von Spindletop...

Our town’s tolerable business investor and oil tycoon was found dead in his study two days ago. As we gather here today, perhaps there may be more to Spindletop’s “natural” death than meets the eye.

Could his wife, Francine, have cashed in early on his life insurance? Or it may have been Seth Poole, who has plodded here all the way from the piney woods of East Texas. Perhaps Seth’s pursuit of a partnership proved deadly? And then there’s the two new Wildcatters in town. Did Wally sink Spindletop’s ship into the depths of Davy Jones’ locker? Or did one of Helga’s manic mechanisms bring Derrick to his demise?
Send an urgent telegram to the Marshal, County Sheriff, and Texas Ranger! The wealthiest man in town has been struck down in this hunt for black gold, and we’re going to need all the help we can get!

Will Crimes of the Past unveil the Truth or will this Murder be forever shrouded in Mystery?

Greedy Granbury Green, the town’s big shot banker, has been bumped off and Marshal Jim Courtright may need a crystal ball to figure out who done it. Could it be Dusty Muddwater, the fastidiously clean and directionally challenged prospector with gold in his future? Or Tatyana, the self-proclaimed Queen of the Gypsies, who read more than Mr. Green’s palms. Then there’s Clarice Green, wife of the dearly departed, who may have taken her horse training skills a bit too far. Or maybe Mortimer Morton, the local undertaker, had an extra casket to fill. All predictions indicate chaos and laughter in the immediate future as you help the Marshal read the signs and solve the crime.
