I don't live far but, Alamo has been my favorite for years. It's small, close, and the service is good. Yesterday, not so much. I came to see Beetlejuice. We were there before the film began and attempted to order with 5 min of seating. It took 20 min to gain a servers attention. The film was at 3:25. We were still sitting after the cleaning crew came which was almost 6pm. No one ever brought us our tab. I said something to three people about the issue and 2 of the three found some humor after I said something. We were literally sitting there with all of the lights on. One person apologized. Upset was an understatement. It shouldn't take almost 30 min to pay. And our food came way before out alcohol which was watered down because it was obviously just sitting. It wasn't a pleasant experience at all. I pass up two theaters to get to Alamo and was excited about it opening again but, after my experience yesterday, I don't know how I feel about visiting again. Those employees need more training. read more

My only major complaint here is about the bar. Went on a Wednesday night so it wasn't busy but I don't think one of the bartenders knew how to make what we ordered (which was on the menu). Took a while to get the drinks but they tasted ok - not sure if what we each ordered was too sweet or if it just wasn't made right. The fandango tickets were really confusing to match up to the theater seating (fandango said 56/57 but theater seats were numbered entirely different). Even when we asked someone it was confusing so we just picked something close. ‍ Food service was good, though they charged everything to my card even though they'd swiped a card from both of us. MY VEGANS! They do have vegan options on the menu! I had the Buffalo cauliflower here and have had the Beyond burger at another location and both are delish. The cauliflower even comes with vegan ranch! read more

Great vibe! Stopped at Vetted Well, above the theater for some beers and food. Definitely grab some loaded fries they were amazing!! Service was great and attentive. We didn't get to see a movie but will be back to check it all out. read more

This is a really fun concept. You buy tickets, and when you get there you go right to your seat, which now has a little cocktail table in front of it. The server will take your tickets then give you a menu. You then order by writing what you want on a little slip of paper and putting it in a little stand on the table and the waiters know to come by and grab it and put your order in. We ordered before and during the movie and all went smoothly and we got food within 10 minutes. We ordered the pretzel and chicken strips for dinner and gummy bears for dessert. The Pretzel was super good and my favorite, the chicken strips had too much breading, and the gummy bears were good, it was $6 for a small Chinese take out container so, definitely movie theater pricing. The staff was super friendly and they have huge bathrooms so likely you're not too wait. Also, it gets a bit crowded in the hallways, I think it might be because there's a bar there that also seems to get quite busy. read more

Overall not impressed. The topping on the popcorn was waaaay to heavy. The servers were non existent. I'll stay home next time

Movies, grub, bar, CRAZY ass pre-preview-retro videos and ads. This place is QUIRKY with all CAPS but I love it. Despite it being the closest theater to my home, I really enjoy the entire experience, the jerk chicken sandwich is yummy af, the fries are good too! So far I've been to the Dallas and NYC locations, my only wish is that dang table wasn't so high because it's hard enough to eat in the dark without feeling like I'm at a high table. Also despite our server totally brain-farting and not realizing my food never came (on my first visit) he did not hesitate to apologize profusely and give me two "rainchecks" so I enjoyed that free movie with more family in Ny and they loved the high octane beers and burgers. The fan art written on the order forms was a cute touch, the nostalgic games and souvenir setup is a fun touch too. See ya soon Alamo! read more

Tried the fried chicken sandwich and chips and queso. I'd re-order both. Helpful staff and polite. It was a little chilly, but wasn't a full theater. read more

Dirty, stinky and run down. The seats are peeling and the service is slow. I took my mother in law here to see the Barbie movie and I was sooo embarrassed. She was so disgusted, she wouldn't even order lunch. We went to get crab legs after. Go to ANY other theatre in town. AMC in northpark mall and at Village on the parkway 9 are soooo much better. read more

I'll happily drive the 42 miles round trip from my house to this theater from now on there's a movie that I want to watch...This place is that good: vintage atmosphere, great food, great service, reasonable prices, comfy seats and great sound.

Alamo Drafthouse Cinema Cedars - First time at this place...I love it! - Cinema Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Top service, respectful audience, FIRE food, the most comfortable chairs, excellent legroom. 10/10 recommend

Great last minute visit to Alamo. Seating chart had some spots blocked out for Covid safety which was cool. The tickets said we wouldn't be let in if we got there late, we have a 2 year old so getting out the door with him settled with grandma is always tough, so we were late but able to get in no problem. Decent amount of parking but not a ton like normal theaters. Food was alright, beer was cold, they forgot our popcorn but took it off the bill. We'd go back read more

Nice place, parking is a little weird but more parking in the back. Staff very friendly.. Food was good. Clean theater and comfy chairs.

Always love coming here for food and a movie and their comfy seats. Makes date night so much more!

This particular location reminds me of NY. It has to be the vintage elevator. Every time I frequent it's never a crowd (I don't prefer crowds) but if I owned this baby, it would be lit ! Btw... the lemon drop martinis and food is pretty darn good! read more

I went to see the Bob's Burgers movie here and it was my first time at this theater chain. Definitely got cult following vibes from it lol and it came highly recommended. The person at the ticket counter was very friendly. Honestly, COVID lockdown has spoiled me and now I miss home releases. I think I was the first person to buy a ticket and there was no one else on the back row. When I got there, people had purchased tickets right next to me on both sides, even though there was plenty of room to skip a seat (that's not anything against the theater just a personal pet peeve). The ordering system is weird, you have to write your order on a piece of paper and stick it in a box attached to your tray table. The seats were really worn and the recline switch didn't work. The curated menu was a cute idea but could've been more creative given how sarcastic and punny the show is, especially with all of Bob's Burgers of the Day. I paid $13 for a sangria [shot] filled with ice, I literally finished it in like 4 sips. The pickle fries were really really good and the ranch was top tier, it might be worth it to go back just for those. I had to ask for water multiple times which was frustrating. They do not play about being on your phone, which I guess I can appreciate but the enforcement is a little embarrassing. The people on the right side of the row were being a little obnoxious and the guy right next to me reported them to the waiter. The next thing I know the manager came barreling down the aisle and made a beeline for the girl on the other side of me and told her to get off her phone. The guy tried to explain it wasn't her but the manager barked at him that she saw the girl on her phone. She never even said anything to the other group. Then she just stood against the wall next to the back row like a teacher supervising an assembly. She was more distracting than someone talking or using their phone. Average experience overall. Probably won't go back. read more

Always have a great time here! Good service and the food is really good! Our favorites are the buffalo cauliflower, cheese fries, the brussel sprouts and goat cheese pizza. We also like that they have special menu items depending on what movies are playing. Tuesdays movies are only $5.

This might sound weird, but Alamo Drafthouse is one of the things I miss most about living in Texas (other than my friends and family, obviously). I love going to the movies. And growing up and living in Texas made seeing movies a treat. Texas has such great risk-taking movie theater chains. Austin is responsible for the awesome awesome awesome Alamo Drafthouse (and has Violet Crown now as well). Houston has Sundance and iPic and the River Oaks Theatre. Dallas has the Angelika and the Inwood (and now a couple of Alamo Drafthouses as well). San Antonio has the Bijou and an Alamo Drafthouse or two. Now I live in Nashville, I know how lucky I was to grow up going to all of those wonderful theaters. And Alamo Drafthouse is just the best. Great food, great cocktails, great beers and wine lists. Great events (I've been to singalongs and other events that kind of blew my movie-loving mind). And staff that LOVES movies. I miss Alamo Drafthouse so much that, when visiting my family in Dallas, in September of this year, I told my brother that we had to make time to go to a movie at the Drafthouse. And we did, and it was wonderful. We saw Ingrid Goes West. I ordered a delightful cocktail and some queso and enjoyed the movie in comfy seats. It's everything a movie experience should be! I'm going to be back in Dallas for Christmas this year. I wouldn't be surprised if I end up back at the Drafthouse. I MISS YOU, DRAFTHOUSE. read more

I had a great time here! Tons of parking with security. Next, you enter building and purchase your ticket at a kiosk; you can even decide your seat. Once you enter the theatre, a waiter greets you with a menu and asks for your order. If you'd like to place future orders after the movie starts, there is a way to do that so the waiter will come to you again. The food was very tasty as were the drinks. It was a little odd not being able to see your food as you ate, but it was still such a great experience. I don't think I have any reason to go to another theatre now, I really enjoyed my time here! The seats are huge and the theatre is strict about people being quiet during the show. Excellent entertainment! read more

Need to figure out their parking. I got out of a movie and was trapped in their parking lot for an hour trying to get out because they let people going to a concert park in their lot. read more

This was my first time at an Alamo Draft House. I'll compare my experience to my experiences at Studio Movie Grills. I much preferred my visit to this theater. First off, I like the setup. It's perfect for a date night or a friend date for 2. You share a cocktail table that has two cupholders. Even though we had people sitting next to us, it felt like we were sitting separately. The SMGs I've been too have individual tables which is nice sometimes but I preferred the shared table. Also, our servers were really cool. I feel like people who usually work at movie theaters are teenagers at their first job that hate their lives and don't care. My waiter was older and very attentive. I told him I had never been to ADH and he explained the process very nicely. I wish I could remember his name because he deserves a shout out! This theater is also very clean, nicely decorated, and well-set up. I'll be going to ADH from now on over SMGs. read more

We went an saw Barbi. It was so much fun, surprisingly good , fun movie. What we weren't prepared for a theater saw in need of renovation. Sticky out of date furniture, the arn rest are literally falling part. Reclining chairs which sink in the middle long past their due date for replacement. Bathrooms unattended. The menu was uninspired, bland, no surprises. The theater is so in need of a capital investment to meet basic expectations of comfort. read more

First time trying Alamo or even seeing a movie in at least 5 years. We brought our 6 and 3 year old. The server made it very clear to me that if my kids were loud they would ask us to leave, however since we were in a kids movie I was quite surprised that they would have that attitude towards families. We ordered the popcorn, gummy bears and fish n chips. The food took a long time to come out and was decent. My favorite part of the Alamo experience was when my 6 year old daughter handed me a full flask of alcohol that she found in her seat. Thank goodness she didn't open and drink out of it. Yeah, we won't be going back. read more

For this to be my first experience here it was the worst experience..purchased tickets for a 10:50pm showing, arrived shortly after at 11pm. Door were locked and the host (short Hispanic female) came too the door and blocked the entrance demanding to see tickets for the showing.. After showing her the purchase confirmation, she opened the door and I walked in. She comes to me 2 minutes later while I'm waiting for someone to get out of the car and tells me that the kitchen is closed....WHAT IS THE POINT ??! The reason I purchased the tickets in the first place was for the "movie and dine In experience" complete waste of time and money... DO NOT COME HERE.. 0/0 Recommend read more

I never post negative reviews - and I mean ever. I think it's pointless and often times the person complaining is just being dramatic, but last night I had one of the worst movie going experiences I've had in my 23 years of life. It started out with me sitting next to a drunk guy who was making me HIGHLY uncomfortable. Kept offering to buy my boyfriend and I drinks, and within the first 10 minutes of the movie he had been yelled at by fellow movie goers to shut up four times. He was constantly on his phone and being annoying. I whispered to my boyfriend once that he was annoying me and making me uncomfortable, and another time when my boyfriend asked me a question about one of the characters in the movie. And guess who got in trouble with a female worker who told me if I talked one more time I would be kicked out? Me. When I informed her, very nicely, that I was talking to him about the drunk guy next to me who was making me uncomfortable she said "I don't care, I've seen you talk three times and if it happens again I'm going to have you leave." She then proceeded to stand in the corner of the theater and stare at me for an HOUR like a weirdo. So, the drunk guy next to me didn't get in trouble ONCE , even though everyone in the theater was yelling at him, and the worker watched that happen while she was staring at me. Mind you he also left without paying for any of his food or drinks. But no. I got in trouble and was never apologized to for talking directly into my boyfriends ear about how uncomfortable I was. The food was also horrible, I got a salad and took one bite and refused to touch it. And I also got a vodka redbull that tasted like gasoline. Never coming here again - absolutely infuriated that some teenager on a power trip had to ruin my experience of seeing one Spiderman. read more

Worst one in the metroplex. Assisted the Barbie costume movie party, Barbie being a movie about WOMEN empowerment and calling out misogyny/machismo. The winner was chosen by the host's random ass friends who where 2 MEN that had contestants strut for them. How ironic is that?? They where also allowed to text and talk throughout the whole movie...again for being random friends of a friend for an unknown host. I guess that earns you special privilege to break the "so important" Alamo Drafthouse rules of theatre etiquette. read more

Disappointed.... The food prices were the main reason. I hate spending twice as much just because. Our appetizer was chips n queso. Queso was runny and chips tasted very old. Everything else we ate was average. I didn't like the paper order slips n lack of a button to call a server. My wife n I don't plan to return. read more

This is a nice place, however I've noticed the service is getting bad. It took them 35 plus mins to bring me a coffee. I didn't get it brought to me until I ask the staff person about it. Th person sitting next to me didn't get her pretzel that she ordered after the movie started until 10 before the movie was ending. He gave it to her free, sitting it was his fault. In addition two sinks in the women's bathroom have been out of order for over two weeks. I frequent this place once a week and have noticed. read more

Love their vintage movies and movie parties. Great for adults and kids! It's no wonder their reviews are all positive!

Apps & drinks are delicious and you can't beat the view in this relaxed atmosphere! Great place to chill after works!

This was my first visit to this location. So parking was easy which was a plus. Then when we walked in it was a beautiful relaxing atmosphere. We had a few minuets to waste so we when upstairs. Upstairs we was met by the staff. We sat at the bar and they when over the drink selection. It was a great atmosphere. We talked to the people at the bar and enjoy the drinks. The movie theater was small but perfect for us. The chairs was so comfortable. This place is a must visit. read more

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here. It was probably the best combination and service and movie watching I've had in this type of setting so far. It's part of the new trend of ordering and eating food while you watch a movie. I've been to one other besides this that was cheaper, but the seats were literally cheap computer chairs. There is plenty of parking outside of the theatre on multiple sides. Where we parked, then walked into the theater was more like an exit. There was no ticket window, just an electronic kiosk to purchase tickets. We walked further inside, passed a couple theaters and found the main entrance. It kind of makes me wonder if people sneak in and watch movies free? The employee at the main entrance was pleasant. He smiled and welcomed us. We were meeting up with a group of friends, and asked to sit by our friends, he immediately recognized us as our friends told them we were coming. Picked up the tickets and found our friends. The chairs are so comfy! It's some sort of leather and the back reclines. There is no foot rest that reclines, but I think that is to leave space for people and servers to walk by. I ordered a fish and chips and a baileys milk shake. Both were tasty, and the price was decent considering it was a theater. Our server was excellent and on point. The sounds system and picture were as expected in a movie theater. read more

We were here for Top Gun: Maverick - half-filled theater on a Monday. We sat down and saw the servers walking past with drinks and order slips, so we filled out our order slip and placed it standing up in the slot at the front of our table. Eventually, we got through the previews and the movie started... 30 minutes in, and the servers had not noticed our slip, even though they kept walking up and down the stairs. Eventually, my friend got up to ask one of the servers during the movie. They just told us to wait. We then flagged down a waiter who was passing by behind us. We had ordered 1 chardonnay and 1 beer... But instead, we got a cider and beer, and it took another 30 minutes for the drinks to get back to us after they took our order slip. I didn't feel like complaining (or waiting another hour), so I stuck with the cider, it wasn't too bad after all. But by this point, we were almost halfway through the movie already, so we were pretty annoyed. Once we had gotten our drinks and started enjoying the movie again, we started hearing vacuuming in the theater next to us... Very loud and disruptive, even over the movie in our theater. I understand they need to clean between showings, but they also need to make sure they soundproof the doors/walls between the theaters! We came here thinking we'd enjoy a cold drink during the movie, but instead, we were a little frustrated with the ordering process. Regardless, loved the movie, but I don't recommend coming here for movies. read more

Way cool place to see a movie. The added bonus is that the food and drinks here are better than at other theaters that sell meals and drinks. The theaters are small and have comfy chairs that recline! The sound system is good and I have never had a problem seeing the screen. The only problem I have with this theater is their food/drink ordering system. You write your order on a slip of paper, put it in a stand, and a waiter is supposed to stop by and pick it up. That system has a lot of fail points: it takes a waiter a long time to notice a slip of paper in a dark theater; it's difficult to see well enough to write down your order; if you are seated on a full row, the wait staff is constantly walking in front of you. Obviously, I experienced all of these issues But, I still gave 'em 4 starts because food & drink items are a little better than your basic movie fare. read more

The food is always phenomenal and the staff is friendly and attentive with our orders.

I would also prefer the recline that Lake Highlands offers but I like the convenience of this location for me. I recommend the margarita pizza and a cookie shake. read more

We love going to Alamo Drafthouse and have been to several locations. Good food for a movie theatre and great beer selection. The only critique I have is the drink service in the theatre is pretty slow and the menus don't have updated draft lists from the bar, so I usually resort to leaving the movie and going to get a beer myself at the bar where the menu is updated. Not a huge deal but could be improved. read more

This place smelled like cheese and feet. I had to cover my nose just to sit through the movie. Really old chairs that don't recline, I felt so dirty after leaving. The service was okay though. Would not recommend, SERIOUSLY! read more

The worst service and the rudest guests. Food was way too spicy and overpriced as well as having hair in my food. The oldest chairs and the most inconvenient table tops. I will never visit again. A disgrace to Dallas city life. As it was located in downtown Dallas. read more

Seriously our favorite movie theater! The Shining themed carpet. John Carpenter posters at the location off of... John Carpenter freeway. The pre-shows and previews (you actually want to show up early to catch these). The food, adult shakes, and draft beer selection are all great too!
