We did not get any food but concessions had a good variety of offerings. I will say I did notice that the bathroom and floors were a little dirty for it being so early in the morning but hey, no big deal. The screen flickered a few times during the movie. The individual who checked us in and pointed us to our theater was very friendly and seemed enthusiastic. We bought our tickets online and the process was easy. For two "discounted price" adult tickets, the total came out to $26 due to a service fee being added on.

What stood out was the self serve popcorn! I had never seen that at a movie theater before! It was so cool! You buy the popcorn bucket and then go get your own popcorn and you can add butter as well. There is NON STOP POPCORN! You can just go back and refill. The popcorn prices were typical, in my opinion. They have hot food as well but it stops at 10pm. They also sell beer and wine. I got lucky and the staff let me get good. I ordered boneless garlic parm wings and fries. You can come back to get it or have it brought to your seat, shin is what I did. I received the food in 9 mins. The fries were HOT! The wings were an appropriate temperature And they tasted decent. I like my wings saucy and wasn't that. The prices for the hot food is actually affordable! The movie started about 10 mins after showtime, which is quick ! Left to go to the restroom as I'm used to 30 min previews. My friend told me the movie started as soon as I left. I love the promptness! I wish this type of movie theater was in the city where I live! The seats were clean and they reclined. They have little trays with cup holders for your food, which was awesome! When I was booking the tickets, I saw they even have love seat type seating on the bottom row for couples. That is so awesome and cool. When I'm in town visiting again, I would most definitely stop by here if there's a movie playing I want to see! I will note that we looked at 2 different movies and the other move cost $5 more which was confusing. It wasn't a 3D or specialty type of movie showing.

The employees worked efficiently to complete our food orders before we headed into the movie. The theater was impressive with reclining seats and a great sound system (even though I thought it was a bit too high volume). My only negative comments are - the louder movie in the theater next door overshadowed the quieter movie I was watching. The other comment was the same commercials repeated over and over before the movie began.

As you approach the storefront, you see the entire front painted in a Star Wars theme (2nd day of Mandalorian and Grogu). As you enter, a Mandalorian-dressed employee(?) was standing near the entrance. The lobby is set up like an old style video rental store combined with a mini restaurant/bar. The line leading up to the check-in counter (you can buy tickets and reserve seating online or purchase at check-in) is lined with video selections and the ceilings had various movie posters hanging from them. On the other side of the video "store" is the dining area for the restaurant. The check-in counter is shared with the food counter, then further down is the wine/beer/drinks counter. As you enter the back to get to the theaters (apparently 15 of them), there is an entire hallway of doors leading to restrooms/urinals. I can't speak to all of them but the one used was definitely not serviced as the paper towel roll was out of the dispeser and standing up on the wet counter so the towels were sucking up water. The theater is small in comparison to most theaters in the pre-COVID era, but had reclining seats with enough legroom to allow servers to walk in front of you when bringing your orders. The recliners recline at both the feet and head but the head doesn't got back as much as you'd expect so seats nearest to the screen (didn't have a choice but to sit up front) will still have you craning your neck to look up. Each seat also has a small (sticky) table with plenty of space to place your order. Then below the table, at armrest level, is a light pointing down to see the QR code for ordering. Plus there's a cupholder big enough to sit a large drink inside. Overall, it was pretty comfortable and didn't feel as crowded as it was which was almost 100% full for the 2nd day of the movie. The food was surprisingly decent but the pizza had burnt edges. The fries were salted well and were thick enough to retain the potato-y taste. The popcorn tasted fresh and was lightly buttered as requested. It comes in a large metal bowl, enough for 2 people. Overall, the experience was a good one, but definitely needs some cleaning of the tables at the recliners and the bathrooms. The food was pricey as you'd expect from a theater, so no change there from pre-COVID :-) I'd recommend it for the comfort of watching a movie on the big screen.
