I have been there once and my kids (12 & 7) have been there once
(seperately). They seemed to enjoy it much more than I did. When I was
there, the place was packed (weeknight). While the majority of the crowd
seemed to be involved in the action, about 70%, the rest of us just sat
there like we were watching television during dinner. The players were
doing there best to get everyone envolved but it just wasn't happening.
There were also some players (King & Queen) trying to get their lines
heard above the rumble of the crowd but were unsuccessful.

The food was moderately good, started with a beef-based soup that I
didn't finish. Then the main course was Cornish Game Hen. It was tasteful
but difficult to eat without utensils. Drink was hard to come by. The
price of admission includes 2 drink refils and a charge after that. The
wenches come by regularily and try to sell you something or another. 

I think one visit is enough. Go when you have a coupon. It is not worth
full price, which I believe is at about $40 per person.

I don't know if Wild Bills is the same or not.
