    We really enjoy coming here and honestly consider the pre show film roll part of the movie experience itself, so we usually arrive early to watch it. The new seating is a huge improvement too. The recliners are comfortable, and the tables work well for food and drinks. The online ordering system is also nice because it makes it easy to order exactly what you want, though I do wish there were a few more customization options. Small things like extra ice in a drink, light queso on the fries, or swapping sauces on sandwiches and wraps would go a long way. The fries themselves were great, but the queso made them soggy pretty quickly. I understand keeping the menu streamlined for the kitchen, but at these prices, a little more flexibility would be appreciated. The food overall was good. I was disappointed to learn the cauliflower dish has heat built into the dredge because I had really liked it before, but the wrap I tried this visit was very good. I also miss the rotating special dishes they used to offer since those were always fun to try. The movie experience itself was excellent. Picture and sound quality were great, seating was comfortable, and the overall atmosphere was enjoyable. One thing worth mentioning is that we often debate between coming here or going to Cinemark. Cinemark's membership program is honestly hard to beat because it includes tickets and concession discounts, and we've been members for years. We do not live close enough to really benefit from this theater's subscription program, otherwise we would probably join because we genuinely enjoy the experience here. Overall, we had a great night and will definitely be back.

    I want to start by saying that as far as Austin-based movie theaters go, ALAMO IS THE BEST. (I'd still like you to read my 3-star review below though. I am concerned about everything I mention). I've checked out all of their competitors, and none of them have the variety of films that Alamo offers and their movie pass benefits are poor comparisons to what Alamo offers you. Nowhere else can you find Terror Tuesday or Weird Wednesday, or thematic movie series. These things are uniquely Alamo. These things, while I'm sure they must be nationwide, are very much Austin. Also, management with the Austin chain is very responsive when customers reach out with questions/concerns/complaints. This is unique customer service nowadays.

    This is how well Alamo's WiFi works when you are forced to use mobile ordering. What a massive fail.

    I feel like I have lost a dear old friend. No paper, no pens, no physical menu to peruse while you enjoy the cool pre show footage. The new mobile ordering system is an absolutely terrible idea! Our family has been going to this Alamo since it opened, but no more. So much of their menu items are gone, it takes forever to attempt to customize an order, and better yet their WiFi does not work!!! Oh and btw you must agree to an 18% gratuity, and they try to hit you up for more of a tip when you close out your check. I should be getting the tip since I took my own order! It is impossible to order a refill of a drink, and they installed those lights in your tray table (which are terribly annoying anyway) and now you can only use your phone. They should hire robots to deliver the food. No one even check our tickets! No lovely greeting or human interaction like the old days. One last note, I ordered a burger on a gluten free bun. My order was delivered WITHOUT the top bun!!!! The girl was yelling at me to try and explain that it fell off, and she would bring me the missing top bun. I waited AT LEAST 10 minutes for that top bun. While everything turned to ice... why on gods green earth would someone not turn around and get the bun BEFORE delivering the order?!?!? I guarantee a robot would have been smarter about that scenario. Alamo, I miss what you once were, and as a family of five very loyal customers, we are all heartbroken. A true travesty.

    The lobby is cool as always, I only came by as I bought a ticket for the wrong date on a movie awhile back and needed to refund it as I didn't know when I could make it. The gentleman helping me was great, friendly and fast, the two things I would ask to change it would be that you can refund online even if your not a loyalty member and if they refuse put in the section that you have to go in person then that you need the card you put in on. They can't see or look it up which should also be fixed. But it was pretty painless besides. I had to try 2 or 3 cards but we got the refund. The biggest issue I had was you can buy online as not a member of their club but you can't refund unless you join the cult.

    Been to this alamo drafthouse location a many times and although the space and staff have come and gone, the service has always been consistent. The food on the menu has slowly declined but I feel that's a corporate move of cost and convenience so meh - paired with the cost of what's actually going to be on the menu, I just don't really have options of what we'd want to order, although they're safe choices. I get it. The staff has always been pleasant and if you can order tickets in person, you save on online service fees added. We also used to be their victory members for seeing movies on their membership, but these days it's a rare treat for us to pop into a movie theater. Love the abundant parking and the many restaurants around, good space and place to be for a clean place to enjoy movies with no folks talking and on phones!

    Awesome first timer here. I enjoyed my first experience at this Drafthouse Cinema. Greeted once inside, clean establishment including the restroom. My personal waiter throughout the movie was prompt she gave excellent service. The food was delicious I ordered the buffalo wings which came with ranch and celery. For the drink I had a Long Island. The actual room the movie was playing in was smaller than I imagined but I actually liked that. Oh yes I will definitely be returning!

    Are chairs plus size friendly?

    As of 7/25 they aren't too uncomfortable, but the new seats they are putting in are small. 🤬

    What time do y'all stop serving food?

    Last call is 40 mins before the end of the movie.

    Do the seats recline?

    No they don't

It's always clean and the people working there are so nice and it makes a difference in the whole vibe of the place. They have a good drinks menu and food too. The recliners are comfortable, but they do run a little short. My feet hang off the end and I'm only 5'7". Thankfully they offer cozy blankets, which I love and definitely helps. Service is easy and convenient. You can push a button if you need something or just order from your phone without missing anything. The lobby is also a nice place to hang out before or after your movie with a full bar, a pool table, and plenty of family games to play. Prices are pretty comparable to other theaters of the kind, so it doesn't feel like a big splurge. Just a really enjoyable spot for a movie night.

By the time I found my seat, the lights went out right as I settled in. From there, it was much harder than it needed to be to just order a cup of coffee. Three stars is for the design. I could not use my phone to scan the QR code to order the coffee because it was dark. I pressed the button and waited forever for someone to come and take my order. Then my friend arrived and went through the exact same thing. Even when I did finally get a menu on my phone, it was overcomplicated to order. Seems like something that should be easy by now. Considering the number of other theaters that do in seat ordering. I'd go back and perhaps have a better time now that I know the lay the land.

We laughed, we clapped, we sang, we booed, "we" as in the whole audience participated in this interactive show. The kids that decided to sit on the floor in the front that night made the show so entertaining with their cheering and chanting... oh their parents taught them well! Legends of the West Dinner Theater is located just north of New Braunfels and just a few miles west of IH 35 off FM 306 & Hoffman Lane, take a left on Rolling Oaks Dr., pass by a few residences all the way down to the end of the road... then you drive right into Triple R Ranch. You pass by the rodeo arena, the stables, the plantation house, to the airport runway for parking. Once parked, you will be directed to the former airplane hanger which has since turned into a dinner theater. We checked in at the door, then stopped by the bar (as of now only beer and wine available), then proceeded to find a table to sit at (seating for 200!). We were told the brave ones sit in the front, so we did! I definitely suggest sitting as close as you can... just do it! Our meal was catered by Harmon's BBQ out of Cibolo which included brisket, chicken, beans, potato salad, all the fixins and iced tea. We walked through the line, then back to or table. The acoustic cowboy sang to us for about an hour for their preshow entertainment. This evening started out beautifully. The show we saw was their seasonal Halloween Spectacular which included a gang of Vampire Old West Outlaws which included my great uncle, the infamous John Wesley Hardin! One of the song and dance numbers was Michael Jackson's Thriller which started the show... it was very well done! Bravo! Ladies were called up to help play a game. Children were called up to become a part of the Vampire gang which also included story telling. The cast really gets the crowd involved in the story line.. we loved every minute of our time at the theater. The producer and main actors have all arrived in the Texas Hill Country after spending many years in California, and around the world, in the entertainment industry. Their long time friendship brought them back together to build this amazing adventure for all of us. We spent some time with them after the show and all are amazing people. Hubby and I are looking forward to seeing their annual Christmas show in Dec as well as their year around shows and events in the future... Hollywood comes to New Braunfels! *Note* my phone died big time, wouldn't charge and wouldn't turn on, so my apologies for the lack on photos at this event.

Needless to say a lot has changed since our last review of this Alamo location from 2017! Even though we hadn't written updated reviews, we nonetheless noticed (of course) that Alamo had consistently gotten worse over the years. However, our experience last week has confirmed that we will never ever be back here again. This place is the pits. The only reason we went is because someone got us a gift card. We bought our tickets, and there was a $7 "convenience fee" like we are in 1998. But then, we get to the theatre, and--JOKE'S ON US because we had no idea that this had happened--you do everything through a QR now. Are you kidding??? How much soul can you suction out of a business!?! The whole point of this whole enterprise was to use the fun little pencils, write your order down, and have the charming experience of HUMAN INTERACTION. Now, you have your phone out--yes, haha that they mention the irony after the bazillion ads we had to sit through!--and there is an automatic 18% tip included. Wowza! We were so disgusted that we only ordered beers. Our daughter had to get TWO kids pizzas because the portions were so small. The menu is way more limited and even more overpriced than one could imagine. Hope you liked Toy Story 5! Oh, AND FYI, if you forget to close out your tab, they add a 5% ADDITIONAL tip within 20 minutes of the movie closing. I mean, this place truly, truly hates its customers. And what greets you at the main desk? A Gen Z'er on her phone the entire time who can't be bothered to look up when folks come and go. We hate this place so much and we are SO excited for the day that we hear that they will have to shutter their doors because, honestly, no business deserves to go under more than this one. 1 star only because we can't give zero.

Online booking is very simplistic. You can select seats. As far as I can tell, if you purchased online, you can go in and scan the barcode that's located in the confirmation email with one of the people at the concession stand. For theater setup, it's not stadium seating. But there is a subtle slope downwards. Lighting is a bit dark. Identifying your seat requires you to look at the small unilluminated letter on the side of the seat next to the aisle, and then to look for the number printed part way down the arm rest. The screen is slightly elevated, views seem to be fine no matter where you sit. The seats recline. I was a bit confused at first about the controls, but the controls for your seat are on your right, two sets of "open" and "close". Sound and visuals were totally fine, and tickets are affordable. They also seem to host film festival events here.
