Movie Tavern Marcus Theater continues to be my favorite theater in Williamsburg, and my experiences over the past couple of years have consistently been pleasant and never disappointing. The theater is always neat and clean, with a bright entrance and interesting movie posters. The café is welcoming, and the staff is a true highlight of the experience. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a genuine smile and a welcoming attitude. The staff is incredibly friendly, polite, and patient, ensuring every step of your visit, from ordering at the café to having your food delivered to your seat, is seamless and pleasant. Their dedication to great service truly sets this theater apart. The food and drinks are a major highlight. There are many delicious choices, and everything is consistently tasty and served hot. The popcorn, in particular, is far superior and fresher than what you get at other theaters. I love the convenience of ordering food and an adult beverage right from my seat and having it delivered hot and quickly. The selection of on-tap beers is also a nice touch. The reclining seats with leg supports are super comfortable, making for a truly relaxing movie-watching experience. Best part is free refills on your popcorn, which is great since I like to take a bucket home with me :) Whether I'm catching a $6 movie on a Tuesday in one of the smaller theaters or a full-price movie in the main auditorium, it's always a great time. If you're looking for a theater with excellent food, comfortable seating, and friendly service, this is the place to go. read more

We were unable to pull up our previously purchased tickets for this movie that we both were looking forward to so much, truthfully I was hooked on this series, "Downton Abbey". Today was the Final episode, but thankfully the manager helped us so very much. She looked at the receipt and helped us to our seats, even bringing us popcorn and drinks for us. I asked her for her name, but I didn't register it into my memory long enough. I think it was Janet, but I could be completely wrong. This showing was booked full! read more

The chairs were comfy but the theatre I was in was So So cold I think that alone makes me wanna go to a different theatre.

I really like this movie theater chain, but I feel like I'm one of the few who feels this way based on the Yelp scores of this place and others we have visited across the country. I'm always a sucker for movie theaters with lounging seats, a full bar and food service. If you're ordering food, you can either order at the bar and have it delivered or order it on your phone inside the theater. There was so confusion on the food delivery, where wrong items kept being delivered to us but the server was very apologetic about it. It was actually kind of funny since I'm sure everyone in the theater thought we were the biggest eaters in the world! Our seats were dirty but the staff quickly came in and helped clean it up. And again, very apologetic. They also jumped immediately into action, which usually isn't the case of when I complain about something in DC where we live! For some reason, we also kept ordering items that were no longer available on the menu -- the ultimate mac & cheese, the spinach artichoke dip, one of the salads. I feel like we basically picked out all of the things they no longer served! I guess I can see why some people rated it lower but overall it was a really nice experience with plenty of free parking and a nice screen and comfy seats. We'll be back! read more

I've been coming to movie tavern for over ten years, but I was inspired to write a review after my last visit as I feel they've made some amazing changes. They have recently updated the seats in all of the theaters to luxurious recliners. So, so comfy! Movies are so long these days, so it's nice to have some cushion on the backside and Movie Tavern definitely did not disappoint! The ticket prices are comparable to other nearby theaters. As far as the food - this definitely isn't a five-star dining experience but it was an enjoyable dinner! The food came just before the movie started and was hot and fresh. Classic American-type fare, reminiscent of a Chili's or similar. The dinner theater novelty is hard to do right, but I'd say Movie Tavern is on the higher end in terms of quality. read more

My wife and I are frequent visitors to Williamsburg and have considered checking out Movie Tavern several times. Finally took the plunge this time, as we've been looking for a chance to see the new Fantastic Four movie and the timing was just right. Very pleasantly surprised! We went on a Wednesday night, so the place was very uncrowded and sparsely staffed. Nonetheless, we were welcomed very warmly and given the help we needed as neophytes. We ordered specialty cocktails and chicken sandwiches, which came surprisingly quickly, and they were better than expected, very good! The movie presentation was perfect, the reclining seats were very comfortable, and overall a wonderful entertainment experience! The menu's not cheap, but it was a special date night, and MT made it memorable! read more

This dine-in theater is great for a date night. When you order, you're able to pick a time and have the food delivered to your seat. When it is delivered, the staff try to be as invisible as possible as to not disturb the other people. The chairs are also plush and comfortable for watching a long movie. It is a very clean theater. I've noticed that the staff are ready to clean as soon as the credits role and the restrooms are always clean as well. My one gripe is how small this theater is. If you are wanting to see a specific movie, it may not be playing here. My advice is to check before you go to make sure the movie you want to see is in this theater vs on the general Marcus Theaters website. read more

The staff is excellent. The food is good. The selection of movies is wide. The experience is great!

I don't know where to being with this movie theater. The seat that I sat in was very uncomfortable. It felt like I was sitting a piece of wood with no padding. The person next to me was vaping during the movie. I definitely won't be returning to this movie theater. read more

The movie twisters was great. Our theater area had shut down so the theater moved us to another area. The gentle man that took our order was amazing. The food was delicious. The service was great. The waiters kept bringing us other food. Not that we ordered it but the kept offering it. read more

How fitting that I went to a tavern to watch D&D, where all great campaigns start! I've been to theatres where they have gourmet food, I've been to theatres where they've had luxury seating, and I've been to theatres where they bring your food to you in your seat. But I haven't been to one where you get all of that together at a reasonable price! Wife and I took the kids to catch a Sunday matinee with tickets under $10 each. We ordered the food and got to our seats in minutes. Food came around before the trailers started and the seats were very comfortable. The service was quick, the atmosphere was relaxing, and the experience was quite enjoyable. If you're looking to catch a movie that's not from your couch, hit up Movie Tavern! read more

Love the reclining leather seats. BUT THE CONCESSION COUNTER SYSTEM IS AWFUL!!! Super slow service and the majority of the time there is only one worker. Their concession stand is the bar (alcohol) counter and is very small so they are not able to accommodate more than one (or 2 at most) order at a time. And whenever people order alcoholic drinks it takes even longer and super slow in making the alcoholic drinks because they make those right there WHILE the customers wait therefore making everyone else wait too. Whenever we go, we are in line for about 20 minutes. Such a waste of time. To top it off, you do not get your order right then and there but the kitchen staff has to bring it out to your theater seat, which takes about 20 minutes to get. Regal Theater down the street is so much better with their concessions system and they don't have an "Add Tip" line on the receipt like at Marcus/Tavern theater which pressures you to give a tip and so you end up spending even more in addition to the inflated concession prices. PLEASE IMPROVE YOUR CONCESSIONS SYSTEM! read more

We had a great experience at this movie theater. The staff was friendly and helpful. The theater was a good size and set up to social distance. The screen was big and surround sound was crisp. We had big comfy chairs. Although they didn't recline they did lean back. We ordered a few different snack and it was all yummy. $2 pretzel bites were more than worth it and my $1 large soda was a great deal. If you're looking for something sweet go with churros. You won't be disappointed. My only issue was ordering through the app because it did not allow me to put my theater and seat number in anywhere so I spent extra time going back and forth trying to delete and download again to make it work. Ultimately we gave up and just placed the order. We did get a text asking for our seat so it all worked out. read more

It's movie time!! Movie Tavern theatre in Williamsburg offers the latest movies. The staff is friendly and accommodating. You can order food from your seat, and they'll deliver it to you. The food prices are fair. My friends and I especially love $5 Tuesdays. All movies are $5 and include free popcorn. You also can ask the staff for a free cup of water, and it's huge! The theater is clean and parking is easy. Sign up for the rewards program--it's also free--and accrue points for discounts. I highly recommend! read more

Movie Tavern Williamsburg - Movie Tavern Theater before the show begins. Free popcorn on $5 Tuesdays! - Cinema Near Me - Williamsburg, Virginia

Went to window to purchase tickets only seats available were row f seats 4&5. No problem. We were 15 minutes early. People were arriving and finding their seats. Previews were playing, people still arriving and being served their food. Movie starts playing, people still arriving and being served their food. Second half of movie people are still moving about, maybe going to the restroom. Some are even moving to sit towards the back of the theater and I would just like to point out there are many unoccupied seats in the theater so, row f seats 4&5 weren't the only seats available. So my only complaint is if you're going to the movies and would like to be served, get there early enough so other people can enjoy the movie. The theater was clean, the seats were comfortable and the people working were great! read more

I love this theater. The seats are great and the food is excellent. I'm glad that they don't have 15 to 20 minutes of commercials prior to the previews read more

Post COVID the menu changed and the food is soso, and priced too high. Bring back the pre COVID menu and the red button to order food and I may return. The lines at the bar are too slow, and hate ordering from my phone! read more

I had a bad experience tonight at Movie Tavern Williamsburg. I was late for my movie and meeting my friends and I was not allowed in. I was told I would be a distraction but yet people get up and use the bathroom all the time. I just wanted to join my friends and was not allowed. They lost business tonight. read more

We really enjoyed this experience! Dinner and a movie...was so much fun! The food was good, staff was friendly, and the theater was clean. I would definitely recommend a visit. read more

On 8-2-24, my wife and I attempted to see a movie and had to leave just after the movie started due to a power outage. We ordered food which never arrived but was paid for. We were told we would get phone call to help facilitate a refund. They took my information, name and phone number. I called back on 8-15-24, and was told a manager would be in contact. It's 8-19-24, and still no call. They were perfectly nice and helpful the night of the incident and gave me two free passes but as for refunding the cost of the food they have been less than helpful. read more

Loved my experience here! I would've posted pictures of the amazing spinach and onion flatbread I had for dinner, but it was too dark to take pictures (and flash would've ruined the movie). I also had delicious mozzarella sticks that were perfectly cooked. I was very impressed with how well this location is run. It was so easy to buy tickets online, show up and get seated immediately, and order food (scheduled ahead of time via the app for it to arrive right after previews). I'll definitely come back when I'm in town again! read more

Kids enjoyed it but only recommend for special occasions. If you want food delivered to your seat, be prepared to pay a hefty price for it.

From the welcoming lady at the ticket booth, Kip taking our food and drink order, the friendly ticket taker, and the kind gentleman who dropped off our food it was a FIRST CLASS EXPERIENCE. My boyfriend and I were very pleased for this Wednesday rainy date night! Definitely my favorite theater I've ever been to! Look forward to more fun memories here! read more

Once again, the theater is top notch. Friendly, efficient service. Always clean outside and inside theater. You can order your tickets at the box or online. If you order table concession service, they will bring it to your seating while watching the movie. My go to place for entertainment. read more

This is a nice movie theater in a great location. Though they serve their own food, I love that they're close by several good restaurants. Advantages include reserved seating, conveniently accessible food service, and friendly staff. The light and movement from people being served food during the movie is a distraction, but they minimize it as much as possible. It's definitely worth it on Tuesdays for $5 movies. They even provide free popcorn! $6 Thursday tickets for students is also a nice deal. They're usually a dollar cheaper than your other option in town regardless. The menu itself is mainly bar/diner food. After sampling a few things, I haven't developed a strong feeling about it either way. The chicken tenders and mozzarella sticks are my favorites for a meal, but I like to go for a milkshake as a snack. The popcorn & milkshake combo is an addictive salty/sweet matchup. If you're trying to eat during your movie, they got you. read more

We had an excellent experience! Everyone working was so nice and seemed to truly enjoy their job. The guy taking the tickets was dressed as Spider-Man. Everyone loved it! Lots of people stopped to get selfies with him. It was Christmas Day and certainly it would have been easy to be frustrated working but if anyone was, we didn't see it. A+ read more

Strange not having a concession counter in a theater. Sound system was very good. Seats were okay. In my opinion there is no reason to return. read more

The place is completely empty and it is taking more than 30 minutes for my order. They told me 5 minutes, and came back out 20 minutes later to tell me 5 minutes again. I'm still sitting here waiting for an empty restaurant make an order. This is every time I come here there is always something wrong. read more

I do like the concept. I do like that you pick your seats...always a bonus. I don't like that the seats do not recline and since the food is waiter served it's expensive. The wait staff was nice but I do not need this with my movies. Otherwise no complaints. Clean theatre and plenty of parking. read more

The movie theater where we watched Inside Out 2 had a rat run around the front rows along with multiple cockroaches. Probably won't be back. Once we notified the staff the manager gave us complimentary tickets and told us they would be fixing it tomorrow. read more

Got our tickets through fandango and picked it up from the kiosk located inside the theater. I kinda wished that there was an option to have the tickets sent to my phone like other theaters do but that's ok! This theater is awesome because it's dine -in and there's not a lot of dine-in theaters in the areas I've been at. The menu is limited however which is understandable because the kitchen is smaller. The food was mediocre tho and definitely overpriced for its quality. We ordered the Hawaiian pizza which was like $10+ then it's $1 for every topping---that's crazy expensive. I ordered a margarita on the rocks and ordered the guava flavor because it was on the menu but the waiters were so baffled that the guava flavor wasn't on their little iPad thing...get it together.. The drink was ok, I got strawberry cause I felt bad they couldn't find guava. My fiancé ordered a cherry coke and got a second refill and it was NOT free because it ended up being $4.95. If I were you, I'd eat before coming to this theater because you'd get more bang for your bucks somewhere else. The seats were great but does not recline and the waiters were kinda annoying when they kept walking through the aisles and people ordering were kinda loud. read more

The space between the seats and being able to dine in the movie was good but I've been to several movie taverns. One in Pennsylvania and one in Houston. This one had a lot of struggles when it came to the food. We spent almost 79 dollars and the food was not worth the wait. I think i could have eaten better elsewhere. The fried pickles were good but everything else was just blah. read more

Saw Elvis! It would have been a great movie experience except for the row of women in aisle F, theatre 6. Friday June 24. A group of 11 came in late talking and on their phones. They stayed on their phones through the entire movie. We complained to the managers but after telling them they weren't allowed on their phones, as soon as manager left they were right back on their phones and talking. read more

We tried the movie tavern in Williamsburg for the first time tonight. The staff working there we're good with us and friendly. The cleanliness of the theater itself, the bathrooms, the seats, was absolutely disgusting. I would love to go back, but I honestly couldn't even eat my popcorn after I visited the bathroom. I Would love to hear that it was cleaned up inside and sanitized. read more

The seats are way more comfortable than their competitors at Regal Cinema. As one would expect at a movie theatre the food is mediocre and over priced. I would have been shocked if it was anything else. read more

Good theater with marvelous popcorn. I've seen all the great movies here such as Morbius, Spider-Man, and Minions: The Rise of Gru!

Seats are amazingly comfortable and the staff were all very friendly. Great experience at the movies

We loved Movie Tavern before COVID and went there often. I have been twice since and its gotten worse each time. We had to wait in line at the bar to order. One person waiting on everyone, took forever and only 3 people in front of us. Popcorn sizes are baby and mondo only. They have removed the buttons at the seats completely, only an empty hole there... very sad. Theater was very cold. We wish someone would make this dinner movie theater good again. Until then, I will go somewhere else. Sad read more
