I also thought that the inside decor and ambiance offered great scenery to create the very appealing "movie" feeling that we have come to love over the years... "Song Sung Blue" is a "must see!" Overall experience was "AMAZING."

Everything about this place makes you aware that the Fleur and its staff give a damn about their product in every way. Excellent customer service, three terrific theatres with great screens and sound, clean restrooms, a fun and colorful lobby, incredible artwork, and superb popcorn! All of this makes for a good overall experience. It's a movie lover's venue. Get there early for their trailers highlighting local events, causes, and films, and get on their mailing list for upcoming highlights. Film pricing is cheaper than most, and vast indie film offerings exist. Shout-out to Mallory and Dev for their attention to detail and kindness. It made a huge difference and impacted us after a long, cold day.

We've been here a couple times for the movies but today was the first time we ordered food. I was…read morepleasantly surprised by how good our food was. My husband and I both had the chicken club sandwich. The bun was homemade. Everything was hot, the chicken, the bacon in it, the French fries. The service was good and the ordering process was easy. Ultimately I thought it was a little expensive because you pay for movie tickets in addition to your food order so we probably won't make it a regular thing.

Updating my review after 6 years - but still five stars!…read more This is a movie theater that also brews beer and serves food. And they have no business making food that good!! Going to a movie here has become a tradition for our family when we're home for holidays. We enjoy the control of picking our seats out in advance, and love that they have nice leather reclining seats. We also love that they do their own fun version of "previews" before the actual previews start - funny video clips, related snippets to the movie, etc. It's so personalized and fun! But what we love most isn't the movies at all. It's not even the chairs. IT'S THE GRAVY. Yes, you read that right. They make this pepper gravy that is simply out of this world. My family and I exclusively order the chicken tenders and fries as a mere vehicle for this deliciousness. Oh, and ask for double gravy - you'll need it. For my true Midwesterners: they have perfect "runny restaurant ranch" too! And their fries are divine. I'm sure other things on their menu are good too - we've been recommended their breakfast pizza (it has that gravy as the sauce) and chicken sandwich (again, with gravy as the dipping sauce) so we may branch out soon. We like their drinks too - we've had good cocktails and my brother and dad like their beers! The service is great - they take orders before the movie/during previews and get it out fast so the food/drink service doesn't disrupt the movie watching. They have an app you can order from and a button to push with any requests too. I know it sounds so weird, but we genuinely look forward to movies together so we can all eat fries and gravy on our little trays in a recliner at Flix. The BEST!

Our anniversary is the week after New Years, so we were grateful to see ANY live theatre to celebrate.
