So much fun! I love history and thought it might be silly, but the evening was great. I especially liked the joust and sword fights! Dinner was ok, but you’re really there for the experience.

Excellent customer service! Flavorful food with generous portions. Very entertaining show, and loved the fact that the horse's are obviously very well cared for with great affection from their handlers. Highly recommend this venue for all guests, young and old, and everything in between.

"Discrimination at its finest."
TripAdvisor user rating 1.0 out of 5
Reviewed December 15, 2025
I attended Medieval Times on December 14 at the 5:00 PM show, seated at RED Table 7, Seats 5 and 6, with my son. This has been a once-a-year tradition for my birthday, something we always looked forward to and wanted to create good memories around. Unfortunately, this year completely ruined that tradition. Our server was extremely rude and dismissive. When I asked for water, he gave me the runaround and did not bring it until after dinner was already served and I had finished my chicken. When he finally brought the water, his attitude was very poor. What made this experience even worse was that guests who arrived after us were served promptly, while we were repeatedly ignored. When bread was being served, he skipped us completely right in front of us. I had to ask him if we were going to receive bread before he finally came back. The same thing happened again with dessert, making it very clear that this was intentional and not a mistake. The treatment felt discriminatory, and I left feeling disrespected and uncomfortable. This was supposed to be a special birthday tradition, and instead it turned into a very negative experience. To the point that after the dessert was served we left early because I felt discriminated 100% check the cameras so you can see how even my son saw me sad and got up to ask the guy for our dessert since he completely skipped up. What an awful “VIP” experience. Sadly, because of this, we will no longer continue this yearly tradition. The quality of service has gone downhill fast, and Medieval Times has lost loyal guests because of it.
