    The Rialto is a jewel that our town is lucky to have. The art deco building is unique to this part…read moreof Arkansas and adds charm to the town's main square. 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. Seats, sound, and projection are all top notch and updated. The theater is now owned by the city and provides an affordable and enjoyable service to the community. 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. Movies a special in this kind of environment and not in some nondescript cineplex.

    The staff that worked our screening last night were absolutely top notch! I wish I could've seen…read moresomething or done a movie marathon here on my own time. 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.

    While the seats are nice & adjustable. Walkways spacious in…read morebetween... Should cleaning crews be cleaning the theatre or you have to wait for a show. There are only two benches to sit on. 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.

    Wow. In town for a night and decided to see a movie Visited this place and what a huge mistake…read more How do they stay open? 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.
