Toby's Dinner Theatre

Food was tasty, show was excellent. Actors did double duty as waitstaff and dining managers. Unbelievably smooth and well planned. 300 people ate well and were staged so nobody felt rushed--I'm a slow eater, and was in one of the final groups. Food never ran out, and it was always fresh and hot. I'm struggling to find a complaint. The very worst thing I can say is that the parking lot was difficult. Can't wait to return for another show.

Toby's is a gem in Columbia Maryland. This place opened up in about 40 years ago and is the only dinner theater in the local area. You can expect a great buffet style dinner so you can get what you want. The food is seasoned and is great. While I am an adventurous eater I love the reliability of the food here and it's always good. At least I haven't had a time where I had any issues. I come here at least once a year, sometimes two, three, or four times depending on the plays. The actors serve you so it's awesome when you see them performing out there on stage. My kids nornally get excited to see their server on stage. The actors make a good wage through tips, so prepare to tip on the full amount of the bill. That enables us to enjoy excellent acting and excellent service. If you're looking for a great experience then go here. If your local get the season package. Support your local theater.

The show was great, Beauty and the Beast. The food was below average. The service was slow and it seemed like they knew who paid for 'extras' and took care of them. They did not remember to serve us dessert, we dropped a drink on the table and they took their time to help us clean up. Overall, I wish you could go for just the show and pass on the food and service.

Not sure why there are some negative reviews about this place. We went for an evening show and enjoyed ourselves. The food was so much better than expected in both quantity and quality. The staff was extremely friendly and the show was fantastic. I look forward to going again for another show.

Great food, great servers, incredible performance....a wonderful evening !!!

Toby's is such a gem!

I've been going to Toby's for over 20 years. Wonderful theater in the round, great performances, fun drinks, great themed buffet. This is an excellent family night or date night in the DC area. Tickets include meal and play.

Great shows. Great food. Will be back a third time and more.
