    Took the kids to watch the Minions. I think I enjoyed it more than them. I LOVE minions. Upon arrival, the older man at the ticket box was super friendly and helpful. Came back when they started seating and noticed the seats and carpet in the theatre were updated compared to when I came several years before. Service was great and they were on point compared to other Cinema Cafes. Ordered nachos and Ranch pizza. Everything was delicious and came out with extra napkins, plates, and didn't have to even ask for a to go box since they offered. Will start coming to this location from now on!

    While I would expect that dinner and a movie might be a little overpriced, but you've gotta be kidding me. Maybe deliver the entrees as described on the menu and perhaps clean the screen every once and a while. Photo 1 - ordered the southwest bowl, arrived with rice, beans, shrimp, and drenched with "boom boom sauce", no peppers, no onions, no cilantro, no mango pico. The serving size was a joke as well, is this supposed to be French bougie sh!t. Photo 2 - several 2 foot diameter drink splatters on the screen visible throughout the movie. Super distracting and gross! And $6 domestic pints to boot It's for these reasons I'd rather just wait until movies are available to stream from home. Very disappointing cinema cafe.

    I normally don't watch movies at Cinema Cafe - I usually just want to check out the movie while not going overboard with food and drink. Especially since Cinema offers alcohol, I want to avoid that temptation. Plus, Cinema Cafes aren't operated by Regal nor AMC, so I can't use the movie viewer programs those chains offer. But with Bill & Ted Face the Music only playing here (and my desire to see it on a big screen as opposed to watching it at home), I figured it was time to check them out. With businesses adapting their daily operation due to COVID, they offered a convenient way to check-in. First you can purchase your tickets in advance - in my case, I bought my ticket online, upon which I was able to reserve and choose my seat. Like Regal & AMC, certain seats were blocked out to allow for social distancing. After I bought my ticket, a confirmation email was sent to me which included a QR code. At the front entrance, you use the scanner to read your QR code, your ticket is printed out and in you go. When I walked in, I was impressed at this location's cleanliness. When I was a kid, this was just a regular movie theater (I saw Back to the Future here during its original theatrical run - that's how old this theater is, not to mention me), but this place looks much nicer than it did back in the day. I walked into my theater and guests were already being served. If I'm correct, customers can come in early so they can have their meal before the movie, so there won't be any distractions during the movie. I didn't think about this - I arrived about 15 minutes before showtime. My server came to me after helping out those who had arrived beforehand and brought me a menu (I didn't realize there were paper menus located at the entrance for me to take inside), upon which I ordered an appetizer - potato skins. I also ordered 2 beers (not at the same time!) to wash the skins down. The potato skins, much to my surprise, were excellent. They weren't too greasy, just the right size and didn't look to be of the microwave variety. And the beers, which I ordered in bottles, were excellent. On top of that, my server was friendly and moved with a sense of urgency for myself and the other guests. And, since we're living in a different time, she wore a facemask for the duration. I enjoyed my experience here, thanks to the good food and excellent service. If all movie theaters were like this I'd be good to go. Cinema Cafe did well enough to make me consider coming here more often. All they need is a movie viewer program. JV

I've gotten the gyro but it leaks juice all over me as I'm eating and it's super annoying. I've gotten other salads and they just seem super salty and I usually love salty but even that was too much. I've got the coconut shrimp and while I thought those tasted great there were only like 7 small shrimps and I was still very hungry for the price. Pizzas are super hot and greasy. Hawaiian is my favorite if I have to choose. Idk if you can tell but I go to cinema cafe a lot. It would be nice to have a healthier option back like the Julius Caesar salad (with option to make it into a wrap like old times). This time I just ate before I went and got the fried dill pickle spears with a bull rock cider because they were out of my favorite blue moon. The spears should be cut thinner. Giving this place four out of five stars because the service was good and the chairs are comfortable so we keep coming back but please take some of the things that I said about the food and improve.

We normally order tickets online so when we get there, we can just scan the barcode or enter the confirmation number and grab them. The process is always very quick and easy. We've claimed the last row as "our seats" since we enjoy sitting in the back, and thankfully, the views of the movie are still great. As we looked over the menu waiting for the movie to start, we decided on the Mission Impossible Deluxe Nachos and The Fifth Element Supreme Pizza. Our food was served fairly quickly but unfortunately, the nachos lacked cheese and they only added a few, small dollops of chili. The pizza was pretty good though. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our movie night at Cinema Cafe. As many times as we go, we're probably going to try everything on the menu lol! We'll definitely be back.

Rather than assisting us, he simply pointed a finger toward concessions and directed us there to redeem our movie passes. The concessions area was not much better. The first thing you notice is the overwhelming smell of burnt popcorn, and the counters were covered in liquid from spilled or splashed drinks. The only bright spot of the entire experience was the young lady working behind the concession counter, who was polite and kind. We ordered two large drinks and a large popcorn, only to be told they couldn't sell large drinks because they had no lids. Instead, we were offered (and charged for) large ICEE cups. When it came time to pay and redeem our movie ticket vouchers, the employee repeatedly tried to process them without success before finally calling a manager. The manager slowly walked over, then slowly walked back to the ticket counter to retrieve replacement tickets. She eventually returned while we continued waiting, now approximately eight minutes late for our movie. We then had to wait even longer for the employee to finish washing her hands before she could scan the tickets. Once we finally made it to the drink machines, one of them wasn't working. Then we discovered the butter dispenser wasn't working either. My husband, who is handicapped, had to walk to the opposite side of the counter just to get butter for our popcorn. By this point, we were roughly 15 minutes late for the movie we had paid to see. Unfortunately, the problems didn't stop there. When we entered the theater, the trash cans were overflowing and the floors were covered with popcorn and other garbage. We finally reached our seats only to discover that the theater did not have reclining seats. My husband struggled to get comfortable for the first half of the movie. To make matters worse, the auditorium was so warm that we were sweating. I actually had to leave the movie and track down the employee at the ticket counter--the only staff member I could find--to ask if someone could please turn on the air conditioning. This theater appears to be poorly managed, understaffed, and lacking even the most basic attention to cleanliness and customer service. From the dirty concessions area, malfunctioning equipment, and overflowing trash to the lack of urgency from management and uncomfortable theater conditions, nearly every aspect of our visit was frustrating. I will never return to this theater, and after this experience, it's easy to understand why so many movie theaters are struggling to keep customers coming back.
