Edison’s

My wife and I went here last night, since we had been given the tickets as a gift. My first reaction was, «can I leave?» This was because one of the «actors» thought it was funny to virtually push me back out the front door, and close it, leaving me outside. He apparently believed he was being hilarious. Maybe I am just too old for the mindless humor that is a large part of the show. Wine helped me enjoy the mindless dialogue. Many other people enjoyed the show, but most thought the plot was less mystery and more confusion. Dialogue was sometimes dumb. The food was good. Waiters were very attentive. The neighborhood is sketchy, though the building itself was specious and fine. My conclusions: if you are young and go with a group of college-​type friends, you will jump right in and have fun. Drink early and often. If you are older and want a mentally challenging «who dunnit» type of intriguing plot, definitely pass. If you are in the middle, then wait six months. They will doubtlessly improve the plot and the show over time. Done better, this would be great fun.

If you want to experience something different, try the murder and mystery event. It is very interesting. You are exposed to a storyline that involves a murder and you got to guess who the murderer is. Interesting and entertaining :)

If you’re looking for a venue for your wedding ceremony and/​or reception, try Edison’s!
They have an amazing space that is absolutely beautiful and perfect for a wedding ceremony and reception. Dance floor is large, quality linens and decorations, AV and sound already equipped and staffed pluuuuuus catering from Eddie Deen’s (if you’d like that option).
Their communication was a little slow, but that’s just the «all about me» coming out and while I like quick same day responses, I didn’t always get responses quickly from Edison’s, but again, I’m pretty sure they had other people to tend to and didn’t realize how important I think I am :-)

Like others, I also came for the murder mystery, but will reserve this review for the food/​venue only.
Its a open and spacious place, perfect for the event. Little bar in the corner which served decent drinks.
The wait staff was attentive despite the large audience… the actor at our table stole all our silverware (as part of the show), but only after a bit of confusion, the waiter promptly came to deliver another set for me.
The food was OK. It wasn’t anything special, but filled me up. Chicken was somewhat dry, but the salad ranch sauce & bread rolls were happily homey. The dessert pies were amazing though… not sure what it was but it wasn’t too sweet or dry.
Its a 3.5 at best but bumped it up because the place is very appropriate partner for the show… and for the cheap groupon price. Ample parking too.

My first time at a Murder Mystery Dinner
The theme was Poison Rock and Roll murder. I liked the cast member who played Poison because he was very interactive with the audience. If more of the casts can be this fun, the experience would have been better.
The idea of audience participation is nice, if only it was better executed. Ideally, all of the audience should have a chance to «act», not just one per table. AND, to make it more fun, perhaps there should have been an incentive price for the winning team. Maybe each member should get a surprise gift bag, won’t cost much but will make it fun.
The food was left wanting: buffet style self serve, a little bit more variety would have been nice.
Overall, it was okay if you really get into it, felt a bit long.

I came here for a murder mystery dinner as I’m sure many others have, and had a good time but it felt a bit rushed. They started late and the murder mystery felt really rushed. I don’t know how to put it without writing a novel, but they gave the introduction, let us do our interactive portion, then rushed to the end.
The food wasn’t 5 star quality, but it wasn’t too bad either. I’d say it was a step or two above a place like Furrs or Luby’s, but not too much higher. The lemonade was terrible though, as it was watery and had practically no zing to it.
If you need any indication of how it was then check this out: At our table (there’s eight seats per table), four people left right after the meal which was maybe 30 minutes into the show if that.

We did the Murder Mystery Dinner here and although the venue itself was really cool, the food was horrible. The chicken wasn’t cook properly and although it was all in warmers, it was cold inside. Also, the Murder Mystery Part of it wasn’t that fun.

Had a corporate event at Edison’s. The space itself is really cool, with several connecting rooms, good size dance floor and open patio area. However, bartenders there ruined the night for us by basically proclaiming that one of my friends was «too drunk» and refusing to serve her. They must have been confusing this girl with someone else because she’d had like two beers and the whole situation was very bizarre given that it was a corporate event. They ultimately made her leave the event, all from some horrible bartender who decided to pick on this one girl. Also, isolated location in south dallas makes it extremely hard to get cabs.
