This could be a problem should you need to sit for a prolonged wait. Also the lobby was very cold. Also Matthew at the ticket buying stand, needs to hide the attitude just a bit more. Why? A person who is not familiar with the theatre may need to ask specific questions for clarification of what they are seeing on the seating screen. Talking down to someone is a bit of an insult, especially if they are a very educated senior couple. Also, the concession stand person selling the popcorn, needs to change to the full popcorn canister; so you are not getting the dregs of the batch. When I made him change my bucket to the full batch; he did apologize; "his bad" and he was pleasant. I thanked him for the pleasant attitude & that he did change my popcorn without a hassle. They had "Cats" & "Star Wars". We did a back to back movie afternoon. Really good. Sound system excellent.

It can't be because they aren't making money almost $8 on a paper bag and 30 cents of popcorn. I get they have labor costs, but obviously no money left over for maintenance or cleaning. My "seat" was deficit of any padding and the entire place was disgustingly dirty. Carpets that have never seen a cleaning were the most obvious reason for the stench. Do yourself a favor and wait for it to come out on streaming.

They play second run movies for only $3, matinees and Tuesdays $1. Popcorn and drinks are downright cheap and you won't have to take out a second mortgage to have a snack to enjoy with the movie.

I hope everyone in Searcy will support The Rialto and get out there and enjoy a night out at the movies that won't break the bank.

I barely had enough time to get to know this courteous and down to earth people. The confederate flag waving across the street was a bit appalling to see waving in 2019, but what kind of American would I be if I didn't let my love of historic theater restoration and movies themselves and get to know these people and share the commonality that we do have. Hey, they might not be down with the statue of the confederate general too. That's their antiquated past. However, the young gentleman with the beard and cap behind the concession stand suggested a great cafe in its own right for a comfy sit down. And as I walked through this small town's serene streets back to the theater, I fantasized of how profoundly cool it would be to see my favorite cult classic movies on a summer night with a refreshing soda and warm, golden popcorn. But I had to keep to the road and the $10 shirt that I baught to help raise money to restore the seats was well with it.

But once we arrived we were told that "the film is not working" and it didn't look good, soon after we was told that we couldn't watch it because it is PG-13, and we are all 13, and we were forced to watch The Super Mario Bros. Movie instead, it was just ruined that trip, but worse of all was when I came across a sign that had Michael playing again later that day, and we were not allowed to watch it, I thought that was unfair, because a lot of people were allowed to watch Michael, when we weren't.

When you walk in, you can see the ticket desk & movies showings. If you purchased your ticket online, you can redeem them at kiosk next to or at the desk. There is usually someone there to greet you. This location does have a bar so you grab you something for your movie or sit & eat. I like from time to time that they do themed drinks. When i went to see scary movies - I had a wazup drink which was yummy. Lately, i've been on the strawberry daiquiris slushies. Depending if the theater is packed, you can redeem your ticket at the concession stand. They have the typical snacks, drinks & popcorn. Seats recline while the rows are well spaced out. I always enjoy going to see movies here. Plenty of parking.

My husband and I came here on a Friday evening to see the Michael Jackson movie. We arrived early…read morebecause we had heard this location had a bar, and we thought it would be nice to grab a drink and some food before the movie. It was our first time visiting this downtown location, so we were excited to give it a try. Unfortunately, our first impression wasn't great. When we walked in, there were two employees at the front ticket desk, both with their heads down on their phones. Neither acknowledged us with a hello, welcome, or even looked up as we entered. We eventually found the bar toward the back. The menu was actually a decent size, offering both food and alcoholic beverages. We ordered the fish and chips, nachos, and a couple of drinks. One small issue was that the bartender never asked what type of meat we wanted on the nachos (pork or chicken), and the menu didn't indicate there was a choice. As for the drinks, they were just okay. Mine tasted more like a Sweet Tart than an actual cocktail and wasn't particularly memorable. Our food was packaged for us to take into the theater, which was convenient. We also noticed a wood-fired oven that I assume is used for their pizzas, which looked promising. The next hiccup came when it was time to have our tickets scanned. There was one older employee handling the line, and the process moved incredibly slowly. Something that should have taken seconds ended up taking close to ten minutes due to the pace of the line. The theater itself was nice. It was spacious, the reclining seats were comfortable, and the sound quality during the movie was very good. Unfortunately, the food was the biggest disappointment of the night. The nachos were, honestly, a complete miss--covered in excessive nacho cheese with what tasted like mystery BBQ meat. We each took one bite and threw the rest away because we knew we weren't going to enjoy it. The fish seemed fresh, but it had absolutely no seasoning or flavor whatsoever. The fries, however, were fresh and ended up being the only part of the meal I actually ate. We ended up buying popcorn and candy instead. Overall, the theater itself was comfortable, and the sound quality was great, but nothing about the overall experience really stood out enough to make me want to drive all the way downtown again. With improvements in customer service and food quality, I think this place has potential, but based on this visit, it just wasn't worth the trip for

As of the time of this review it contains four haunts, one stand alone and the other is a three in one. ALL are fantastic! For $30 you get admission to one haunt but for a mere $5 more you get all four, so why wouldn't you do that? In fact for $15 more you get VIP line access to all four, which on a busy night would be totally with it! They make a conscious effort to distribute patrons between the two cues so wait time is minimized but of course on a busy night you could wait for a bit if you choose GA. Regardless, these are worth the wait. These are theater quality sets, with well trained acting staff, and professional makeup. We chose the behind the scenes tour for $70 per ticket which included VIP access to all four haunts, once we finished and the lights went out. I didn't know what to expect, but Ethan, who is the creative director, gave us our tour and it was also fantastic! We arrived about two hours prior to lights out with the tour start time scheduled to start at around 1.5 hours prior to lights out. Ethan started early and went long! We toured the main haunt and were shown things like how the scare boxes worked, the lighting, how the sets were built, he talked about the mechanics behind the sets, we saw makeup and costuming as the actors were getting ready as well as the workshop. He also walked us through the other three haunts albeit with less detail as opening was approaching! I'd been through professional haunts before so I knew they were high quality but I had absolutely no idea how much went into producing and running one! Very impressive. The tour is well worth it but at the very least you need to experience their work. Parking is good, well lit, monitored by MPD, security is employed starting in the parking lot so, while we went in the back door and bypassed all that, I could tell it was super safe.
