I enjoyed it. We sat in the 3rd row. I wanted to be close to the action but my parents had went previously and gotten on the front row and said that they got dirt in their food. So your fears are somewhat validated! But we were fine in the 3rd row and the food was really good. If you have small children that you don't want to hold in your lap tell them you don't want a boot mug and the ticket is half price.
