Our experience at River Oaks Theatre did not start out so great. We had to reschedule our tickets,…read moredid so through a phone call to the theatre a few days prior, then showed up to discover no tickets had been reserved for us at a sold out showing. We were not happy. The ticket agent at the front notified the manager who came to talk to us, get some clarification on what had happened and see what he could do to remedy the situation. He (regretfully we did not get his name) went above and beyond to make us happy. He had seats and a table moved into an available space, provided ticket passes and numerous other compensation for the missed step in ticket rescheduling. We had a wonderful experience watching the movie in comfort with good food and spot on service. We will definitely be returning. Any establishment that provides such high quality service deserves much support!

Tickets were on the pricier end especially since it was a Thursday night, but not a big deal. The workers were friendly, and the seats were EXTREMELY comfortable & cushy... I still think about them to this day... I also thought it was nice how movie viewers could order food and the workers would come serve it on a platter! I'm not too familiar with any deals or memberships that the River Oaks Theatre may have compared to its big name competitors, but I highly recommend everyone to experience a film here at least once! Also there is ample parking nearby, but can't speak on it too much since I was dropped off.

Unfortunately, the food and drinks didn't match the experience. Everything felt overpriced for the quality. I paid $10 for a tiny brownie that tasted store-bought and was so dry it literally stuck to the roof of my mouth. I'd definitely recommend eating beforehand, because the food just isn't worth it. That said, I still had a great time overall thanks to the entertainment. If you're going for the laughs, it's worth it--just don't go for the food.

I love that you can order your drinks from your phone. I was in VIP which is the closest seating from the stage(but didn't give much else). I will say save yourself some money & get general admission or reserved seating the talent did work the room rather than just VIP for crowd work time. The show was funny most of the comedians were hilarious We may return but maybe on a less packed day.

I'm not sure if I'm just reviewing the physical theatre or everything about the experience, but it was all 5-stars across the board. The actors were excellent, the production quality was very high and the theatre was nice, new and comfortable. I guess the only gripe is that getting out of the parking garage was not efficient at all with the extremely slow machines, but everything other than that was great. We found it funny that no one even ever scanned our tickets - this was purely on the honor system, which seems like a really weird choice. I hope this place is definitely making the money needed to pay these actors for doing such a great job!

Since then I've gone on to see The ripple, the wave that carried me home, and the latest show, The Lehman Trilogy. Each show Ive watched here has been wonderfully well crafted in storytelling, acting, and have been very immersive to the audience. You can definitely feel the love that was put into each production. I've been enjoying going to opening preview night of each of these shows, there's something really different about seeing the first live performance for each production. Seeing the directors and producers all watching their hard work come to life, the roaring standing ovation. It's a great place to be at! I fully recommend people to check out their productions as they're never a disappointment to me!

I had great seats right in center,but really the venue is so intimate there is not a bad seat in the house. The play Plumshuga: The Rise of Lauren Anderson. I believe this was the last performance of the show. Shes a Houston icon. It was a story of her life, told thru Houston Ballet dancers and other amazing actors. It was authentic, and showed a black woman's plight of becoming one of the best dancers in the US, her perilious journey through addiction, and her life now. It was centered and focused on her voice, and it was beautiful story that should be heard by many Americans, not just the black community. Bravo Lauren Anderson!
