    Extended footrests (limited back recline) with cooling or heated seats!
    Raymond C.

    Dolby Theater 7 remodel is incredible! Extending foot rests and cool or heated seats! A little more expensive but definitely a worthwhile upgrade.

    This is my "go to" movie theatre as it is the closest theater to my home. Plus, I'm an AMC A-Lister! There's nothing that I can complain about regarding this AMC. The staff is very friendly. Oh wait, one complaint: I wish they would show an "art house" movie from time to time.

    AMC theatre's has come a long way. The theater was clean, the seats were super comfy and the sound was crisp and loud..just the way I like it ;) Staff were friendly. Macguffins Bar had good drinks but pricey which is typical for a theater, but hey, nothing beats that freshly made cocktail, fresh popcorn and ICEE combo. Perfect spot for a family night and so close to home!

    Balgarian pretzel- very good & huge

    Clean movie theaters and bathrooms, friendly staff, fresh popcorn, variety of snacks and beverages, a bar located inside, and stadium style seating. Only downside about this location is they do not have reclining seats. This theater is located on the northeast end of the mall. There is plenty of free parking available on both side. You're able to pre order your tickets and select your seats online or in person. I recommend their AMC app, makes it easy and convenient to select a movie and even order food/beverages to have ready. I've seen this location really busy a handful of times, but for the most part it's been nice. Theaters are clean and spacious. Food and popcorn has been fresh and good quality. The bar ,Mac Guffins, located inside serves cocktails and beers. The staff is always helpful and friendly. The prices are average and there are discounts for early weekday showings. Overall, great location and nice to watch movies at.

    I've been to many AMC movies and this one so so convenient because I can walk to it in minutes!!! There is ample parking. If you choose to eat before you go there are so many options. It's clean, from what I saw. The concession has the common options like others but this one has a bar!!! The seat are comfortable however if giving the choice and maybe one day they will upgrade to the recliner type chairs. One of the best features is you get to pick your own seat!! Like I always say try if you're in the Otay Ranch area, you may just like it.

    The area is beautiful with plenty of parking. Lots of dining areas before the movie. The staff is friendly and willing to assist. The movie theatre is clean. The chairs are so comfy. I would highly recommend OT Ranch!

    Buttered popcorn!

Hahaha! The drink choices were also really good. The staff had good drink recommendations for us and were friendly. I can't wait until summer to have them open those side windows and sit outside. I was also here on my own a few weeks back and had the burger. Holy mole, it was amazing! My heart was so happy and full! I love coming here and look forward to my next visit.

    We visited on Sunday, July 12, around 5:30 p.m. to watch the line dancing. The place wasn't busy,…read moreso we sat at the bar. Unfortunately, the bartenders completely ignored us. A server who happened to be walking by finally took our drink order and brought us menus. She recommended the carne asada fries, so we ordered those along with chips, salsa, guacamole, a Coke, and a Long Island Iced Tea. Even though it wasn't busy, it took about 15 minutes to get our drinks. The guacamole was the star of the meal--fresh, flavorful, and honestly some of the best I've had. It was absolutely delicious! The carne asada fries, however, were a huge disappointment. For $24.99, there was barely any carne asada on them. They were mostly French fries with cheese, guacamole, pico de gallo, cilantro, and sour cream, with very little meat. They also lacked flavor and definitely weren't worth the price. The fresh guacamole saved the meal, but the slow service, being ignored at the bar, and the overpriced carne asada fries made for a disappointing experience

We'll definitely be back and highly recommend Karina's to anyone looking for a great meal.

So I don't go as often as I used to as the location on Birch is quite a drive. But Friday the 20th my wife and I decided to make the drive because we had a rare day off together and I was craving. We were seated quickly and the staff was friendly. GG was our server and I asked her about the shrimp burrito in ranchero sauce because I didn't see it on the menu to which I was given the very sad news that they no longer served it. I'm a creature of habit, and I've been coming to this chain since my early 20s and I always get that burrito with rice and beans. Was very disappointed to find it's no longer a menu item, it was literally what made me make the drive from lakeside. Once getting that news I had to actually look at the menu and find something else. I ordered tha carne asada plate and my wife had the Green enchiladas. I also ordered the ceviche tostada. I was a little worried the carne asada might be thin and dry but it was actually a nice thickness and super tender. I had a bite of the enchiladas too, also really good. Another new thing I noticed is that now chips and salsa are not complimentary, sad. But unfortunately not something new to the restaurant scene as of late.

The service was fast and friendly, the prices were reasonable, the food was good, and it wasn't too busy. There is outdoor seating, bar seating, and various tables and booths inside. As nice as it looked outside, we chose to eat inside. We were seated at a booth, provided with water and menus right away. It was quiet and peaceful, and allowed us to peacefully look at the brunch menu. We orders the special- chilaquiles, soufflé pancakes, a caramel latte, and a green drink.

We did have some issues with the service though. We were seated about an hour after our reservation time and even though we requested outdoor seating, we still ended up inside. Since it was Mother's Day, we tried to be understanding because the restaurant was obviously busy. Our waitress was nice enough, but we did notice other tables around us were getting checked on more often. Again, it seemed like she may have been handling larger parties, so we didn't make a big deal out of it. The food honestly saved the night. My Italian wife said the short rib lasagna was easily one of the top 3 lasagnas she's ever had. That says a lot. My wife got the steak frites and while the steak itself was good, the potato chunks were undercooked. The tiramisu was fantastic too. We didn't mention the potatoes to the server because everything else was going smoothly enough. Overall, despite some service issues, we still enjoyed ourselves and would probably come back again for the food alone.

We got sat down within 10 minutes of arriving but the person assigned to be our waiter forgot about us, lol. No big deal, it's beyond busy so we didn't complain. Eventually someone came to help us order our food and as expected, drinks and food came out slow but still hot! Place was very tidy despite the huge crowds as well as the restroom! I was shocked the staff was able to keep up a tidy appearance given the circumstances. The manager kept doing his rounds and making sure everyone was good - hard to see at most places! I'd definitely come back on a slower day because if the service was good on an extremely busy day, I can just imagine how great it'll be when there's no crowd.
