Insider tips
- Always **check your bill carefully for extra charges**, particularly for sodas, as customers frequently report being incorrectly charged for refills.
- **Be prepared for very high concession prices** (e.g., $9 sodas, expensive food) or consider skipping food/beverages if budget is a primary concern.
- If you are a senior, **inquire about senior ticket pricing directly at the counter**, as online prices may be the same as regular adult tickets.
- **Be proactive about service**; if you haven't received your drinks, flag down an attendant as orders are frequently forgotten or delayed.
- **Manage expectations for food quality**, as it can be highly inconsistent across visits.
Good to know before you go
- If your family is on a strict budget for entertainment, especially for food and drinks.
- If you expect consistently high-quality food and attentive service with every visit.
- If you have low tolerance for billing errors or anticipate needing responsive customer support for issues.
- If you are sensitive to hygiene concerns (due to reported roaches).
- Very high prices for tickets and especially concessions (e.g., $9 for sodas, expensive food).
- Value
- Tickets are expensive, and senior tickets online are the same price as adult tickets. Concessions are considered 'atrocious' (e.g., $9 for a soda) and food is 'very expensive' with inconsistent quality. While soda refills are complimentary, customers are frequently incorrectly charged for them, requiring vigilance to avoid overpayment. The new reward points system offers only a $10 credit, which does not cover a full ticket price, leading to perceived unfairness. Overall value is highly inconsistent, with some finding it worth the cost for comfort and occasional 'divine' food, while others find the high prices, poor service, and billing issues unacceptable.
- Food
- Offers in-theater dining with a menu that includes appetizers, entrees, and typical theater snacks.
- Safety
- Concerns were raised about potential hygiene issues due to friends reportedly seeing roaches in the theater.
What parents say
"The seats are comfortable and the theatre is usually pretty clean. I’m happy to have this theatre as an option close to my home. However, the prices are atrocious. When purchasing tickets online, there is a Senior option, but the price is the same as a regular adult ticket. The sodas are $9. Nine…dollars. The food is fine but nothing special and very expensive. Their salsa is more like a sweet, tangy Asian sauce? I want this place to survive, but I will certainly think twice about purchasing food and beverages here next time."

"The seats are incredibly comfortable, making it easy to fully enjoy the movie. The food is divine, way beyond typical theater snacks, and the drinks are just as impressive. Service is friendly and attentive, adding to the overall great experience. I’ve been here multiple times, and it never disappoints. Definitely my go-to spot for a perfect movie night!🤍"

"Decent experience, but the service was lacking. We’ve been here multiple times, and they consistently forget to bring our drinks until we ask—by the time they arrive, the movie is already halfway through. My salad was okay, but the meat in it was a bit off. My husband’s sandwich was dry and not enjoyable. The theater itself is nice, but for the price, the service and food quality should be better."
