    Idk what some of these negative reviews are talking about. Went here to watch the new Bob Dylan movie. First time checking this theater out, as we definitely wanted to find a local theater to check out that served some food and drinks. Theater itself is clean and employees are friendly. You can order food and drinks to be brought to you inside the theater which is really nice. Movie picture quality and sound in here is great as well. We had zero complaints about this movie theater, and we will be back for sure.

    The theaters and bar area here were much nicer than expected. They also had large bathrooms with a ton of stalls, like probably 20 so that was great. We saw Batman here last weekend and, after browsing the menu, decided not to eat here. It's mostly chicken tenders and fried foods. They used to have a hummus platter and a few veggie-friendly items but I don't see those anymore. They do have like two salads which you can add chicken too (tenders not grilled) but it's not very healthy at all so we ate somewhere else and then came for the meal. Last call is right before and while the advertisements are running and the staff were bustling around with food trays and items. Since we didn't eat and show up a half hour early like others, our seats and table had a tray waiting while they dropped off food - right when we walked in the server knocked it over and spilled all the food right in front of our seats (ketchup included). They quickly got it all up minus a bit more and my fiancee had to run and get someone from the lobby to come with a towel to get up the rest of the ketchup so he didn't smell it the entire movie (three long hours). They came in and easily cleaned it up right away. Very good and polite service. Super impressed. Overall, not a bad theater but the food wasn't to my taste and the seats don't recline (so you can eat a table) so I'll stick to the Strawbridge theater but it was nicer than I remembered from years ago and offers a different experience.

    To start, coming up to this theater, like someone else mentioned, it does look abandoned and old. Doesn't look like a theatre at all. Entering, you walk immediately into a bar, the set up is odd, if you keep walking in there's a sign that literally says to turn around to buy the tickets as they are facing into the lobby where front doors would be. Something to note - the chairs DO NOT recline, the theater regardless of actual theater room location- STINKS!!! It smells like body odor, off brand cleaner and mold/mildew. You have until the commercials start to order food/drinks- you cannot order during the film. You also have to pay before they bring your food- they won't bring it until you pay which is so odd. It's humid in the theater, no need for a blanket or typical theater attire. The arms of the chairs are sticky and really hard to pull down to use. The chairs are like old school theater seats but they are leather not velvet which was a plus. Another plus is it gets completely dark in the theater, I feel like theaters are getting brighter and brighter these days. Another plus would be the fries! They are SO good, crispy, hot and they offer old bay seasoning for them- they were very good. Weird thing with the food would be you cannot add cheese to a veggie burger? Not for an up charge or free- they refuse to pick up a slice of cheese and put it on your burger which as a veggie burger, is already plain (no seasoning or condiments- only comes with lettuce, tomato and onion) the bottom bun was soggy- unsure why, so I didn't eat it all. Overall, I won't be coming back or suggesting to anyone to come. I only tried it because my favourite theatre, cinema cafe, was full for this movie- now it makes sense why a brand new movie was EMPTY on a Friday night on opening weekend.

    I'm not really a big movie-goer in the streaming age. I can buy a movie ticket for the same price as a one-month subscription to Netflix/HOB, etc. It just feels like a better value when you're living on a budget. However, it is a fun treat to see something in theaters from time to time, especially when the company is good. We got there early for our showing which allowed us to have a drink at the bar before the show. Prices were on the higher end, but still, what you would expect at The Oceanfront, I got one of the "Star Wars" specialty cocktails - Kylo Ren ($8.50). It was basically an adult cherry coke, and it was delicious. We were able to place our order at the bar. The food was then delivered to our seats in the theater. I always love when theaters have "assigned" seating to make things fair and stress-free. Before I move on to the food and theater experience, I do have to say the bathrooms were pretty gross. There was standing water on the floor, splatter stains on the stall walls. The whole bathroom needed a good wipedown- at least on the women's side. I had to go again after the movie but opted to hold it until I got home. Back to the rest of the experience now that I have gotten that part out of the way... They suggest arriving 30 minutes before your show to place your order. Food came out quickly, and they had a team of servers assisting our theater. Any food or beverage orders placed after the showing starts need to be placed in the lobby, but I think they will still bring it to your table. Seating tip- make sure you are sharing a table with the person you are going with; the tables are indicated on the seating map, so it is easy. Just something to keep in mind. We tried one of the burgers, but I don't think either of us would order it again. It was "just okay." Frozen patty, made much better by chipotle mayo. The fries were better than the burger. We also shared a pepperoni pizza- this was actually really good. The pizza would have been plenty for us to share without the burger, but I was happy to take the leftovers to finish later. The cheese was great, I even enjoyed the crust. You got a nice "cheese pull" from it too. Drool. Next time I'll definitely stick to trying other pizzas and skip the burger section. The theater was a little louder than most movie experiences from people using silverware and a few forgetting it was a movie and being a little chattier than necessary in a theater environment. Not a huge bother, just something worth mentioning, so it doesn't get on your nerves during your visit. Overall, I was impressed with Beach Cinema and will definitely return next time I want to catch dinner and a movie.

    Not a bad way to do lunch on a rainy day

    Fun place for date night or movie night with friends and family. Comfortable seating with tables so you can order food and drinks while you're watching your favorite movie. This theater is easy to get to, runs a good line up of movies even though it's not that big. The menu offered has a wide range of food items from salads, pizzas, burgers, and even seared tuna bites. My family ordered the burgers, salads and I had the tuna bites. No complaints and the portions are perfect. Getting tickets is easy, Fandango is what we use and you just walk in, print them off and you're on your way to a good movie and good food! Honestly, when I first tried this place I wasn't holding my breath on the food and how bad it would be...lets face it, most movie houses that serve food have a menu that seems like it came from the frozen food section of a grocery. This place blew my mind on how good the burgers and onion rings were and the food in general has been tasty and we'll prepared. Swing in, snag a delicious burger and chill in an oversized chair while taking in a movie. You'll love it!

    I believe this place is closing down and that's sad. Great movie place close to the beach. Clean and comfortable chairs.

    How is the seating and tables configured?

    Hello Beth, our seats are standard leather seats. The tables are 18" rounds between and in front of every other seat. Thanks for asking.

    What is the temperature like in the theater?

    Hi Lexy B, we keep the temp right around 70 degrees while we are operating.

    How would you rate the screen quality & seating?

    Seating is a little different and I think the screen quality was good.

Our movie started at 3:30pm and since I bought tix online, we were able to walk right in and have our tix scanned. The concession line was ridiculously long so we decided to return a little later, hoping it would die down a bit. After about an hour, my daughter went out to grab popcorn and drinks and she mentioned that the lines were much less crowded. The popcorn was very fresh and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Thankfully, the seats were comfortable because the movie was over 3 hours long; the sound and movie quality in the theater was great as well. I don't frequent this location often but you can never go wrong seeing a movie here. I highly recommend ordering concessions in advance to avoid the long lines. I also love that this location has restaurants right outside of the theater as well. I'll definitely be back.

Didn't purchase any food so I can't comment on that. I would still return when in the area.
