We sat in the middle and the reclining seats were fantastic. The sound wasn't too loud or too quiet, and the moviegoers were on their best behavior. The popcorn and drinks are highway robbery. Show me a theater where that's not the case nowadays, and I'll gladly go there instead. The ticket checker was the same older gentleman we have seen on our multiple trips. He is always kind and helpful, providing accurate directions to the theater entrance. He deserves a raise in wages. It's hard to find good help nowadays. I've only been to Byrd Theater outside of this place because Movieland has everything we need in a movie experience. I definitely recommend it.

It was such a great movie--both the kids and the adults really enjoyed it. I purchased our tickets online, so I only needed to scan my phone for entry. However, the self-service kiosks started malfunctioning. I went to the concession stand for assistance, and an employee helped me so I could get our snacks. Once we were seated, my baby accidentally knocked over our brand-new bucket of popcorn. We went back out and explained what happened to a young employee. To my surprise, she kindly replaced the popcorn for us. Before the movie started, we returned to our seats and did our best to clean up the mess. Overall, we had a wonderful time. The staff was friendly and helpful, especially when unexpected issues came up. I do wish Regal would hire more young people for summer jobs, as the self-service machines seemed to be having technical difficulties and additional staff could help assist customers more quickly.

Major downside is that the staff do not duck, walk fast, or communicate properly during the film. I frequent at Alamo and love how discreet their staff are when walking by with and without food on trays. I'd definitely go back here again if there was a film showing here instead of my typical non-delivering theatre. But otherwise I wouldn't go back unless they found better ways to work with the service. Ticket prices are also pretty cheap compared to other theatres, and that is compensated for the cost of their food.

I couldn't type this review fast enough omg Lolol. So I just discovered an interesting policy I…read morehave never heard of (I'm not from Virginia) that does not allow me entry to a showing (Jurassic) if I'm 15 minutes "late". Ironically, I showed up late on PURPOSE to avoid the previews. I asked the reason for this policy, and the black female manager did not tell me the reasons. Her exact response was "we don't let anybody in past a certain time". (Redundant). I don't think it was a difficult question that I asked, nor did I present as nasty or flustered. I asked very plainly the WHY, not the WHAT, and she could barely make eye contact with me. I then asked "well, is it because it interrupts/distracts other patrons?" And she said "yes that's one of many reasons". Lmao Why she couldn't just share the reasons with me, was very unprofessional. Perhaps she's used to disgruntled customers and was prematurely impatient with me?.... But girl.... I am kind and being patient with this very weird theater lmao. Or maybe she actually didn't have the answer for me. Who knows. 1 Since late patrons are being stopped at the ticket booth, does this mean they're not allowed to purchase popcorn if the previews are about to end? 2 By this logic of interrupting other patrons, doesn't that mean we aren't allowed to use the bathroom once the movie has begun? Anyway, I asked for a refund which I could not get due to me purchasing my ticket via Fandango. My other option was to catch the next movie showing , which would be a $3 up charge because it's in 3D. I don't like 3D but at this point... I've already lost the battle I asked the manager..... "so do I pay for the $3 up charge via fandango, Since you guys have nothing to do with my initial payment transaction? " Of course the answer was no. I was obligated to pay them directly. (Capitalism?) My goodness... The inconsistency in conjunction with the weird nonchalant attitude of the manager was an unnecessary annoyance for me. Like... I can't get a refund NOR CAN I GET A CLEAR EXPLANATION?! I'm from NYC and have never heard of this policy before, so an explanation would have actually made things clear for me. But instead I was met with no eye contact and weird body language. I was sincerely confused and not being an asshole. I'm also an actress and therapist, hence my attention to personalities and communication. Anyway I ended up paying the $3 difference, and was then instructed to go inside the theater, 20 minutes early. LMAO !!! I guess she missed the part where I said I don't like previews (may I suggest a customer service course for all staff?) I asked "how much time do I have"? And she said "15 minutes". So I ended up waiting in my car. *sigh* This is why movie theaters are going out of business now . All this trouble, and overpriced movie snacks, when I could just wait for the film to be streamed online, with popcorn that doesn't cost $1,266. Bonus: I was here last week to see Megan 2.0. There was an afternoon showing, that my friend and I were unable to purchase online for some reason (the night before...) So we decided to just purchase tickets here in person, the day of. Turns out, the showing was completely removed as an option. From both the kiosk and the staff operating system. We ended up leaving and driving to regal cinemas near Ashland instead. I prob shouldn't have returned to this place after the Megan 2.0 issue, but I decided to give bow tie a second chance. But honey, I'm not baseball so there won't be any third strike options with me. This is my first (and last time) in RVA. Lord! I am realistic, so I do not expect for other businesses to thrive like the ones we have in NYC, but whew! It's very very very clear why it will never compare. I mean, Jesus... it's a slow Monday afternoon. The theater is VERY empty and this whole thing was so dramatic and avoidable. Maybe consider using this specific policy ONLY during peak hours? I'm no business woman, nor am I an entitled Karen, but im a sincerely confused out of town visitor who wants y'all to do better. Also, Please don't be harsh with that black manager by the way, it's not her fault that these policies exist. But she could definitely use a customer service refresher course.

My first time going we saw Twister but on this visit we saw The Bad Guys and Jurassic World, which was fun They also mix in retro and vintage classics too which really adds to that old school drive in charm. Parking was super easy with no hassle at all, and the staff makes the whole process smooth. One thing to keep in mind: newer cars apparently don't always work the best for drive-ins since mine kept shutting off (maybe I'm slow idk lol) , but they have portable radios that are definitely clutch. Overall, it's an enjoyable time here, and it's fun for a different pace for a summer activity.

However, on Saturday Sept. 12th (2026) there was a huge disconnect with the usual service. We arrived just after 6PM and were seated quickly. We and the couple we were with placed our order shortly after. However, we waited and waited and our server said the kitchen was backed up. That seemed reasonable as the restaurant was somewhat full. But we watched as table after table that arrived after us were served before us. One group of five people who were seated just before us received their dinner, ate, paid their bill and left even before our dinners arrived. The order for the four of us was for the two taco dinner, a cheeseburger, and two flatbread dinners. Not very complicated ! After a hour and 15 minutes I went to the concession counter and looked into the kitchen. The manager and four other employees were in there working. I noticed that what looked like our orders were being placed on a serving tray for bringing out - in fact it was our order. I didn't bother to talk to the manager as I was simply happy that it was finally ready. The apparent explanation, to me, is likely that orders were not being prepared in the sequence of their entry. Very frustrating when hungry ! -Ron D., Kilmarnock

The fried green tomatoes were also rich and indulgent and the peach habanero jelly was a nice bright kick. For entrées we got a couple CMX burgers, the ravioli and the chicken BLT. I usually get the tuna poke bowl, which is always very good but this time I was in the mood for a sandwich so the chicken BLT was a risk, but turned out it paid off. The chicken was cooked perfectly as well as the bacon. Very satisfying. The burgers never disappoint and my son really enjoyed his ravioli with an extra steaks you were on the side.
