    Older movie theater at historic downtown. Prices are good compared to the bigger theaters in San Antonio.

    - Mixed Experience…read more Went to see a movie here recently and the overall experience was disappointing, but I do want to give credit where it's due because the staff was actually outstanding and very friendly. That said, the theater itself needs major improvement. The building had an unpleasant smell when we walked in. The hot dog bread was old, hard, and tasted like it had been sitting under a heat lamp for days. My Doritos nachos were stale, and the ICEE tasted like straight syrup with barely any carbonation. The seats also felt cramped and uncomfortable, which made it hard to fully enjoy the movie. The employees were easily the best part of the experience, so this review isn't directed at them at all. Management just really needs to improve the food quality and overall theater upkeep.

    I am writing from my reclining seat at Santikos Cibolo which was less than a 10m drive from this…read moretheater. This theater is really outdated and dinghy. The staff were unhelpful. We walked in circles three times looking for the ticket kiosk. The person who was meant to give us 3d glasses let us walk past him two more times without addressing us. Once we sat down, I was bummed that the theaters lack recliners. The ancient seats were uncomfortable and dirty. Once the movie started, the speakers were only working on one side of the theater. Yvonne (manager) refunded our tickets (because none of the employees knew how). However, Yvonne rudely told me I was wrong about the sound and offered no apology for the poor overall experience; no leadership whatsoever from this person. I highly recommend Santikos Cibolo. The theater is modern, the sound works and our tickets, drinks and popcorn were several dollars less expensive. I don't see any reason to visit Regal Live Oak again. They don't do a single thing right.

    Okay, if you're a theater connoisseur my rating will have you laughing, but if you just like a…read moremovie and popcorn, this is a wonderful 4-screen theater (for me, it's only 8-9 minutes from my front door) with acres of parking (literally). Admission is dirt cheap (compared to San Antonio theaters) and the Manager's Special is an extra-large popcorn with all the refills you want and 2 medium drinks for a reasonable price. When I go alone, I have them fill one drink (placed inside the second cup) and butter the popcorn. For action movies I usually ask the snack bar personnel if there is a slow spot where I can get a popcorn and drink refill and they always tell me where there is one or just say you don't want to miss a minute. No problem there, as I just get my second drink and a popcorn refill on the way out at the end of the movie. At home, I share the popcorn with my dog, who does every trick I've taught her for more and I'm sure she gives the popcorn 5 stars. Very friendly staff. You can't get more "hometown" than this.

    There are four things that make this place what it is. One, the popcorn is superior to most and…read morethey're not stingy with butter. Two, the prices for tickets are unbeatable. Third, the concession is very affordable, much more so than AMC/Cinemark. Lastly, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The 5th and elusive star is missing due to the unbelievably sticky floors in the theaters. Please mop this last issue.

    Was able to catch an early afternoon Rom-Com movie, "Solo Mio" on a Saturday. We entered the lobby…read moreand you have to have a bag-check. It's been awhile since I've been to this theater and remembered that the reclining seats weren't as comfortable as Alamo Drafthouse's. Well I think they had a remodel since then because the seats were very cushiony, seemed newer as the seats weren't worn down and the width of the seats and spacing between seats seemed ample enough that you're not going to bump your neighbor. The tray tables are also well-placed so that your table isn't impeding your view. I think it was well-designed. It was a smaller theater with only 5 rows but the terraced rows were low enough that someone walking in the lower row won't impede your view as well. The theater wasn't super cold as some places are where I'm using a hoodie and jacket in the middle of summer. Folks in line and around us still brought their blankets, LOL! To note, there's a $5 Santikos ticket deal where you can buy these tickets during the last few showings of a featured movie. They're only available for purchase at the theater according to the onscreen ad. Concession stands are downstairs and there's a bar. The screen showed a clip where you can order your food and have it brought to you for a small service fee. There was also a message of knowing where to exit and being vigilant with your surroundings or something to that effect. It's always good to be street-smart these days. After the movie, we exited and there was a Sheriff's Deputy that was outside and looking at his phone. I figured he was going to be on guard today or perhaps the weekend since a major world event occurred today that I expected ramped up security in public places.

We had popcorn, extra butter, and a freestyle soda, diet cherry vanilla Dr Pepper. The ticket taker was super nice and understood we had a larger group coming in. The concession stand gentleman was super quick. The clean up crew was very quiet entering the movie towards the end and I enjoyed this theatre.

    The food and entertainment were spot on. Our group ended up with pizza and wings. I expected it to…read morebe average food you receive at these type of places. But it was way better. The bar selection is quite full as well, with all types of wine, beer, and cocktails. We ended up doing axe throwing (a great stress reliever) and playing a lot of the games. This place has the system where your winning points are stored to a card, like Dave and Busters, and one guy in our group had a good 10,000 points on it. Some of the points were from an awesome victory of knocking over a coin tower on that game that takes more patience than I have to get all the coins at the edge. Sadly, he left his card behind on accident, which ended up getting stolen. The great news is the staff handled it quickly. They were able to transfer his points to another card before it was used and gave him free movie and food vouchers. What outstanding customer service! I will have to return for some bowling, and it looks like they have virtual reality activities as well. The prices seem pretty reasonable compared to several of the competitors. I can't wait to come back for great food and customer service!

    I visited this location on June 5th. Upon entering my bag was thoroughly checked at the first…read morecheckpoint using a drumstick to poke around through the bag. I proceeded to the concession stand to purchase snacks and beverages and then to the theater entrance. At this point, they asked to check my bag a SECOND time. So, balancing my popcorn and beverage, I had to unzip my purse again for another bag check. At this check, the teenager barely glanced in the bag. I was quite annoyed at this inconvenience and cursory second check. My issue is that the bag checks seemed haphazard, not consistent (every bag, every time), nor thorough ( the teenager at the second check was bored and going through the motions). I've since been in contact with Santikos Guest Services as well as the manager at the Cibolo location. Guest Services shared that it is corporate policy to check all bags upon entry, but the second bag check is location-specific and not part of the whole corporate policy. The manager at that location stated that they need to recheck bags because all the doors into the theater do not have checkpoints - the bar area, for example, does not have a checkpoint at that door. She shared that they will be setting up a checkpoint there at some time in the future. At this point, however, there is not one there, so were you to enter through that door and not go to the theater, but rather the arcade or bowling, you would not have your bag checked at all. This is a HUGE safety risk if that is their true intention. If this were truly a safety concern, and they ARE aware of the unchecked door, then I have a serious issue with them keeping their patrons safe. If this is more to protect their bottom line of not bringing your own outside snacks, etc. in, then I am greatly disappointed in their customer service. Either way, I won't be returning to this location after the poor customer service. A night at the movies has become too expensive to deal with these issues. I will gladly drive elsewhere to have a better experience, and I suggest you do the same.
