What parents say
"A pretty-nice, older-style theater. They do have improved recliner-style seats and a good beer selection. Best of all, they show $5 Flashback movies and I've seen some great classics on the big screen because of it."

"Movie was great! (Deadpool+Wolverine) Popcorn was old. The theater room was warm and we had to tell the staff to turn AC on. (Felt like it wasn't). The staff was arguing in front of us. Not serious but unnecessary for us to hear. Love the seats! Soft leather and the reclining seats were good. Clean restroom."

"Wow! Love this place! Super comfortable seats that recline and have trays with cup holders. D-Box seating also. Good selection of beer and wine at the concession stand. My visually impaired friend was able to get descriptive service headphones. Some comfy tables, early/special shows."
