If you want to take a weekend road trip outside the Philadelphia area, Lancaster County makes an ideal destination to soak up some culture, dining, and entertainment. Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre offers these features and more, all of which earned the theater a spot in USA TODAY's 10Best Readers' Choice awards list for best dinner theaters.

The theater, at 510 Centerville Road just outside Lancaster, clinched the No. 3 spot on the list, just behind Toby's Dinner Theatre in Columbia, Maryland, at No. 2 and Alhambra Theatre & Dining in Jacksonsville, Florida, at No. 1.

Here's what USA TODAY's editors said about the theater:

"Since 1987, the Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre has entertained the people of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The theatre's dining room only seats 320 people at a time and presents shows that range from 'A Chorus Line' to 'Hairspray' and 'The Full Monty.' Buffet-style meals include a wide range of options, and there's a full-service bar on hand as well."

Experience the ambiance at Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre during an upcoming production of "Fiddler On the Roof," which will remain on stage through May 17. The theater will also offer the following productions through 2025:

  • "A Chorus Line"
  • "Irving Berlin's Holiday Inn"
  • "Murder for Two"
  • "The Buddy Holly Story"
  • "The Wizard of Oz"
