The reclining seats alone are worth the price of admission

Not a bad place to watch a movie, but food is basically dog food-grade.

Basically Chillis Grade. Like the poster above said, the seating is worth the extra dollar alone.

like above poster said...the seats alone are worth the $10 movie tickets.

The food taste like chilis and you basically have to get there early to order or else you will wait nearly 45 minutes to get it. Drink service has always been pretty quick for me (I usually only order beer)

We have Alamo Draft House here. Same concept. Limited but chilis quality menu. But they sell beer!!! And over priced cocktails, but still u can have a cocktail. Or go to the regular movies and pay too much for a coke.

As mentioned though, that are quick to cut you off. A movie is only two hours so the clock is running. And they settle up Nd give last call 20-30 min before the movie ends. So don't expect to pound 6-8 beers. They aren't having it. But 3-4 is not a problem. Just keep your mouth shut. Start getting chatty they will shut you down. It's a movie they don't want people getting chatty anyway.

The wife and I watched The Martian there a few weeks ago. As stated before, the chairs alone are worth going for.

We had a group of 5 with us, we all got our drinks quickly and four of us got our food in a decent amount of time. The 5th one never got her food (so they had to credit her back that charge).

The wife and I got the sliders, they were damned good.

Get there about 30-45 minutes before the movie starts so you are sure to get your order before the movie begins.

The place spoiled me on going to movies at other places.
