Party presentations are judged in three categories: food & drink, design & décor, and entertainment & overall vibe. Each team benefits from Handy Helpers during the competition. Winners of a trivia question receive advice from resident chef David Burtka, while the other team receives "help" from Burtka's "aunt," Sue Chef.

Kevin Fallon of The Daily Beast called Drag Me to Dinner the "perfect idea" of what a Pride Month program should embody, saying it highlights important characteristics of the month of celebrating LGBTQ culture, saying, it exemples the "permission to be absolutely ridiculous, joke around with your community, and celebrate the fun of LGBT culture." Ty'Kira Smalls of Common Sense Media gave Drag Me to Dinner a grade of three out of five stars, calling the show entertaining and noting the diversity of the contestants.
