I would love to give it 5 stars, but service means a lot to me! I stepped inside and I was in awe! I absolutely loved the lights and entertainment. I can see the arcade, bowling alley, the bar, and screening area as soon as I walked in. This place was so alive. I love how they have happy hour and the all in summer pass ! I sat down and ordered my food about 15 minutes before the previews started. I ordered a Frito pie and a drink. My Frito pie came out first. I asked the employee about my drink and he was clueless. He said he guess it will come out later. So if I choke mid bite because of thirst and food stuck in my throat, I GUESS you will be calling the ambulance. Clearly I need a drink with my food if I ordered it. My food was gone by time my drink came. This is totally unacceptable. I ordered popcorn too, it was cold when I got it. Hooky, please do better with your service. There is no reason why my drink wasn't with my food and i ordered it at the same exact time. My Frito pie was just okay. If you are going to try something different with your frito pie recipe please nail it. Otherwise, make it the traditional way. My popcorn was soooo good, I just wish it was warmer. Also, you have to order from a QR code to toast vs someone coming to take your order. I enjoyed the theater experience overall . It was comfortable and clean! I want to give this place a 5 stars so badly, but I can't give credit for bad service.

Hooky Entertainment is a fun spot here in Hutto. The game room is not big, which I appreciate because it's not overwhelming for little kids. If you like a big variety of games you may feel limited in what games they have. They have a movie theater and bowling as well. I can't speak for the movie theater side since I haven't used it yet, but I can say the snack area is super convenient. You fill up your own popcorn and add your own butter, which is great. They offer a big bucket or a kid-size popcorn. Thankfully we all share the popcorn. It's a lot of popcorn. I've heard the food is good, but I haven't tried it myself. I mainly come for the games and my favorite is the little kids' game where the balls come down. We enjoy it for a fun time.

This was my 2nd visit at Hooky. Since it was spring break week, it was a little crowded but wasn't too crazy. My 5 yr old enjoyed the arcade games especially the racing ones. All games are in very good condition and maintained very well. The bowling alley was full so couldn't do that but we enjoyed the arcade and the food. There is a happy hour from 5-7pm on weekdays with shareable being half off. We availed that offer for the dynamite shrimp and elote fritters. Honestly, I enjoyed the shareables much more during my 1st visit. This time they didnt taste as good. But the Texas melt was absolutely amazing. Juicy and tasty. Hope the taste is consistent when I visit next.

I visited the place for the first time for the early premiere of Wicked: For Good. The establishment itself is very nice. The chairs are comfy, and the theatre is spacious. Now, the food was not great in my opinion. I had the elote fritters and a shrimp Caesar salad. The elote fritters were fried too hard and dry, so I wasn't a fan. The Caesar salad with grilled shrimp was not good at all. I believe they waited too long to bring it out, so the lettuce was extra soggy (like cooked spinach) and warm. Warm salads are not my thing. Anywho, Wicked: For Good was amazing!

I went and had such a great time here, instructions, staff and food were great. We also had a good time at the arcade, a little bit pricey but everything is brand new, from the seats to the arcade machines.

Review is specifically about the theatre experience, we did not try the bowling or arcade. But, Omgosh IMO HOOKY movie theatre suuuuuuuucks. Never again!!! I'll come back for bowling, but not movies. It's so weird how they did the theaters and the seats don't actually recline, they like sink but don't go back, it's all so awkward. Moviehouse remains number 1 in our house even with the drive . Things we liked, the unlimited refills on sodas and popcorn, the food was pretty good for a movie theatre we liked the crispy pepperonis for sure. We also like that everyone was super nice! No one really explained how anything worked but if I asked a question everyone was super helpful. We were even able to love our seats. So the seats are elevated, it's basically a flat room with rows of chairs. If you look closely there is a very slight incline but in the further back rows for the kids the backs of the chairs in front were blocking the bottom of the screen. The brand new smell also gave me a terrible headache. Only mentioning as there may be others that are also sensitive to smells, maybe avoid this place for a few months until the offgassing ends idk. 2.5 stars because it's really nice and new, a good addition to Hutto but personally will not see another movie here. It's just so awkward

We got a movie theater in Hutto before McAlister's. Ain't that crazy. I wanted to go to Hooky a few times before formulating my thoughts on it. Originally planned to be an EVO Entertainment, through some sort of way, the brand of Hooky Entertainment was born out of the rubble with the inaugural location in Hutto, a city yearning for more. An entertainment destination within our city limits is a huge upgrade to the city's energy. No longer shall we have to drive to Austin. No longer shall we have to drive to Pflugerville. No longer shall we have to drive to Round Rock. Right? Something I think Hooky does really well is cultivating a place that is not "a theater and..." and instead being "... and a theater." That may not click, but let me break it down. Many times, I've gone to a movie theater that has a bar, dining space, or arcade. Those always feel like an afterthought. Hooky wants to be an entertainment destination. Bowling without the need to see a movie. Hanging out at the bar without needing to see a movie. Playing some intense games of Skee-Ball without needing to see a movie. Some places try this, but they still feel like destinations only for movies, with extras tacked on. Hooky feels far more welcoming as a place to hang out and leave without ever thinking about a movie. Here are a few experiences I've had so far: The arcade I love a quality arcade, and Hooky has a pretty good-sized one balanced with ticket games and standard arcade games. I don't always want to win a prize. Sometimes I just want to play NBA Jam. Hooky has plenty of both. The bar From what I've had, their full-scale bar is great. They have plenty of drinks and options. I also love their projector dartboards. I can best compare them to Topgolf for darts, with different minigames while also allowing for standard dart play. The bowling I haven't bowled at Hooky yet, but I hope to soon. I really like their huge projection screen that hangs over the bowling alley. Floating sporting events and graphics make the space feel modern and dynamic. The concessions Hooky has your standard sodas, ICEEs, and more, but their self-serve popcorn machine is incredible. I went in one night and just bought a bucket of popcorn, filled it up, and left. The American Dream. You can layer your butter, and it works very well. I'm a fan. The food At the bar and in the theaters, it's easy to order food via QR code. Honestly, the food feels a little more "elevated" than other full-dining concepts like Studio Movie Grill, Flix, or even Alamo Drafthouse. You're not coming here just for the food, but it's well done for what it is. The movies Hooky's IMAX theater is incredible. Plenty of space, a huge screen, and immersive sound. It rocks. The other theaters are alright. When I saw The Materialists, the room had no stadium seating but did have plenty of space in front of you, so the chairs ahead didn't block the view. I'm not the biggest fan of that setup, but it's not an overnight fix. The chairs were standard leather recliners. I rock with it. If Hooky is reading this review, I want one point to come across. If you want me, a Hutto resident, to rely on your theater instead of the many established theaters in Austin, you need a bigger pool of films. Hosting all the big blockbusters like F1, Mission: Impossible, or Superman is awesome, but we've reached a point where smaller movies by studios or distributors like A24, Neon, Focus, and Searchlight are just as important to see in a theater. Me and plenty of other Hutto residents are willing to make that drive to see those movies, and the Hooky in Hutto hasn't offered them, besides The Materialists. I wanted to put my money where my mouth is, so I saw The Materialists at your theater. I want to stay in my city and support my local economy, but you gotta help me out in return. Other Hooky locations like Waxahachie are already offering these kinds of screenings. Allocate a theater in Hutto for them and I promise you, I will cancel my Alamo Season Pass for the convenience you can offer. Older movies too. Don't hesitate to do limited-run showings. I'd love to see Dirty Dancing on the big screen in Hutto. Don't be afraid of the smaller screenings. Don't be afraid to show The Phoenician Scheme by Wes Anderson. Let Hooky be THE theater of Williamson County. Hooky has potential. It's already a great family-driven space, but there's room to become a true one-stop shop for entertainment in Hutto. Hutto deserves a centerpiece for entertainment. Hooky can be that if it takes the chance.

Very nice, family friendly or date night facility. We only did bowling, however there's a ton of other stuff to do. We ordered pizza and wings, both was pretty good. We were so hungry I forgot to get a good before picture of the food, however the small pizza could feed about 3-4 people. My only complaint is how long it took our waiter to get back to us for everything. We waited 20 mins after our bowling time was up just looking around for the waiter. It was nowhere close to busy, he was just simply walking around talking and laughing with colleagues. Overall it was a good time and will be back.

Fast, friendly service! Full bar and food menu including square style pizza. Brand new bowling lanes, balls, shoes, etc -- Fun games that are a twist on typical bowling while still offering the OG. Reasonable bowling rates if you are looking for a group / hourly rate. Ample parking!

Today we watched a movie in an IMAX theater. The movie theater was clean, seating numbers/letters were a little off (we were in theater one and the last row is labeled J but online it's I which was confusing). The food was actually very good. We had the Eloties Fritters and the Texas Melt. I was very pleased with both of them. Husband had bottomless popcorn and a bottomless ICEE. This movie theater is very close to our house and we will definitely be going back. The only things we have tried yet are the alcoholic drinks and the bowling alley so that'll be on the next visit.

I went to Hookey to watch Final Destination and the experience was a bit underwhelming. Unlike most theaters, there were no trailers or previews before the movie, so my friend and I sat in awkward silence with just a few other people in the room. We arrived around 9:50 PM and got some popcorn, but when we went back for a refill, we were told they weren't doing any more -- even though the last showing was at midnight. That was disappointing. The seats were recliners, which was a nice touch, but the theater floor wasn't elevated, so all the seats were on the same level. I found myself having to look up at the screen the entire time, which wasn't the most comfortable viewing experience. I think i'll stick with the Round Rock cinemark in the outlets.
