Discount tickets on Tuesdays. You can buy your tickets online or at the theater (there's a service charge if you buy them online). Staff is very friendly. Concessions are some of the highest-priced in SLO. Theaters are nice with okay sound. Regal has a decent rewards program so I'll go here sometimes on Tuesdays. Close to Trader Joe's and In-n-Out if you like smuggling in your own snacks. read more

Great service and clean auditoriums from an older movie theater. This theater is a great way to beat the summer sun. The kiddos wanted to watch a Toy Story 5 matinee before we hit the beach. It was super easy to reserve the seats online. So, as we arrived in Arroyo Grande from Santa Maria we were able to arrive there, park, and grab some concessions with plenty of time before the show. This theater won't have all the bells and whistles of a newer facility, but it's clean and spacious. We were comfortable and safe and were able to enjoy the adventures of Jessie, Buzz, and Woody to ensure the appropriate rearing and development of Bonnie. Jacob served us our concessions and was very friendly. The popcorn was fresh, and the kids got a concessions package that included a large drink, large popcorn, and candy. Jacob made the kids their custom slushies and was very kind to them. He directed us to our theater. Sound system was nice, and the this theater didn't miss a beat. Recommended. read more

Broooo pictures are soo deceiving online. We traveled hours away on a trip and decided to have a family movie night. The photos looked like a nice theatre and absolutely not. it straight up smelled like feet and was just musky. No nice seating mind you we watched a new movie release, where are the leather seats? The nacho chips were straight up stale with cheese you can tell was not fresh... burnt popcorn and did I mention the stall didn't even close in the bathroom.. I had to basically ask for my 3D glasses.... read more

Where do i begin it was to hot in the theater it was also unbreathable in there the lines were ridiculous so little workers missed the first 20 mins of the movie would not recommend unless you bring your own fan and food read more

Living only minutes away from this theatre was the best thing ever! My partner and I actually got the Regal Unlimited pass and try to go to the movies at least 3 times a week, especially during the holiday season as more Christmas movies come out! I love their popcorn as it's already buttery vs. other Regal theaters that still do the liquid butter (doesn't spread to the entire popcorn bucket). Only thing I wish for is new chairs! I've been at the Regal in Bakersfield and the recliner chairs are super super comfortable! read more

Oh it's god awful. Rats are EVERYWHERE. Crawling up, crawling down the side of the auditorium. I even saw one scurry down the lobby. Not to mention overpriced and now the workers seem unhappy. My family and I also overheard them talking rudely about one of the workers who wasn't seemingly present. Either way we won't be back ! read more

I love Regal, I am a Regal member, visiting in tow I decided to watch the 25th anniversary of Lord of the Rings, entering the theater I noticed it's outdated look almost like a blast from the past, but it did have its charm, the workers were very nice, specifically Morgan. Regal has been renovating theaters and this one needs an upgrade, help them out Regal! I had a great experience. read more

Regal Arroyo Grande - Front of the theater still says Festival Cinemas - Cinema Near Me - Arroyo Grande, California

We love going to movies at the Regal. We especially enjoy the Movie And popcorn. The seating is very nice too. read more

The popcorn was great, but the water cups were literally the smallest things ever -- gone in two seconds. And the seats? Awful. My back was aching the whole time and I'm not even 20. I could not find a comfortable position at all. For the price I paid (almost $50), I expected a way better experience. If anyone knows another movie theater in AG with actually comfortable seats, please let me know because I'm not trying to waste money here again. read more

The people who own are local's great popcorn! The nicest people!Happy hour all the time!!!

Had a great time seeing Barbie, yesterday afternoon. What a fun romp and Ryan Gosling is a hoot! Of course the beautiful Margot Robbie is THE perfect Barbie. We went early at 11 a.m. Just a dozen or so of us at this screening. The theatre was clean, quiet and there were no lines (Wednesday). We ordered a small Pepsi and with our tickets spent less than $20. A good deal when you enjoy the movie! A small popcorn is $8+. Concessionaires we're polite and efficient. Bathrooms, very clean and well supplied. Great afternoon entertainment! read more

The movie was supposed to start at 12:05. We had to sit through 20 commercials before the previews started. I love going to the theater, but my time is valuable to me. Not a good experience. read more

Lately, when I am in the area, I stop here to get a large popcorn and the refill all at one time without seeing a movie. I usually try to get a hotdog as well, but sometimes they don't have any ready. Great popcorn, sodas are OK, but they switched to Pepsi products so I don't like them as much as when they were Coca-Cola. As you can see from the pic their hotdog leaves much to be desired. I like that they are long, but the buns are so hard. They have heated them in the microwave and then they get all hard and crusty when they cool off. I will still come here for popcorn, but not a hotdog. I haven't been here in a while for a movie. Oh, they also shut down their old points card in favor of some sort of online system, perhaps it is an app. I should load it because then I could still earn points when I purchase the popcorn. Another weird thing is that they don't do phone pay, you have to use your credit card. read more

Regal Arroyo Grande - Long dog, but crusty hard bun. - Cinema Near Me - Arroyo Grande, California

Absolute bummer that you have to select a seat before you enter the theater. Are they trying to drive away customers at this point?

Title: "A Not-So-Quiet Disaster: My Frustrating Experience with 'A Quiet Place: Day One'" Rating: (1 out of 5 stars) I've been eagerly anticipating the release of "A Quiet Place: Day One" ever since I saw the trailer. The premise of exploring the initial chaos of the alien invasion that set the stage for the original films had me on the edge of my seat. So, when I finally found a gap in my hectic work and school schedule, I decided to use my long-dormant Regal Unlimited membership to catch a showing. Little did I know that my excitement would quickly turn to disappointment and frustration. As soon as I settled into my seat, popcorn in hand and ready for an evening of suspenseful entertainment, the unthinkable happened - the entire theater went dark. And I don't mean the usual dimming of lights before a movie starts. No, this was a complete power outage that plunged the cinema into total darkness. At first, we all thought it was part of some immersive pre-show experience. After all, the movie is about a world where making noise can get you killed, right? But as minutes ticked by and theater staff started fumbling around with flashlights, it became clear that this was no planned event. Here's where things get even more bizarre. As we were being ushered out of the theater, I overheard some staff members whispering about a "sabotage." Apparently, someone had deliberately cut the power to the entire cinema complex. The police were already on their way, and from what I gathered, this wasn't an isolated incident. It turns out that a group of misguided "silent cinema enthusiasts" had taken it upon themselves to "enhance" the viewing experience of "A Quiet Place: Day One." Their twisted logic? By cutting the power, they believed they were creating the perfect, noise-free environment to watch the film. Of course, they failed to realize that without electricity, there would be no movie at all. The police investigation revealed a meticulously planned operation. These "enthusiasts" had studied the theater's electrical system for weeks, identifying the perfect moment to strike. They even left behind a manifesto of sorts, arguing for the return of silent films and denouncing modern cinema's reliance on sound. It was a surreal turn of events that felt like it could have been part of the movie's plot - if we had actually gotten to see it. While I appreciate dedication to art, this level of misguided fanaticism is both dangerous and inconsiderate. Not only did it ruin the evening for everyone in the theater, but it also caused significant financial damage to the cinema and disrupted the schedules of hundreds of moviegoers. As for me, this experience was the final straw in a series of unfortunate attempts to enjoy a night at the movies. Over the past few months, every time I've tried to use my Regal Unlimited membership, something has gone wrong. From sold-out showings to unexpected theater closures for renovations, it seemed like the universe was conspiring against my movie-watching plans. I had such high hopes when I finally managed to carve out time from my packed schedule to see "A Quiet Place: Day One." After months of not being able to use my subscription due to work and school commitments, this was supposed to be my triumphant return to cinema. Instead, it turned into yet another disappointment. Now, faced with the reality of my demanding schedule, I realize that I probably won't have another chance to see this movie in theaters. The window of opportunity is closing fast, and with my luck, I'd probably end up in another sabotaged showing anyway. I understand that the power outage and the bizarre circumstances surrounding it aren't directly the fault of the movie or even the theater chain. However, as a paying customer who has faced numerous obstacles in trying to enjoy the services I'm paying for, I can't help but feel frustrated and let down. The one-star rating I'm giving isn't for the movie itself - which I still haven't seen - but for the entire experience and the culmination of repeated disappointments. It's a reflection of my frustration with the theater-going experience as a whole, which seems to have become increasingly unreliable and prone to unforeseen issues. To the creators of "A Quiet Place: Day One," I apologize that I couldn't experience your work as intended. To Regal Cinemas, I implore you to take a serious look at improving the reliability of your services and the security of your venues. And to my fellow moviegoers, beware of overzealous silent film enthusiasts with electrical engineering skills - they might just pull the plug on your evening plans. In conclusion, while I can't comment on the quality of "A Quiet Place: Day One," I can say that my attempt to watch it was anything but a quiet, enjoyable experience. It was a loud, chaotic reminder of why sometimes, it's just easier to stay home and stream.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

Regal Arroyo Grande - A thumbnail related to the movie - Cinema Near Me - Arroyo Grande, California

I go to regal all the time and I've always been treated with respect and it's a fantastic movie theater with a very, very good selection of treats read more

Bought a ticket online, through the Regal App. Went to the theater. Got my seat. Ordered snacks through the App. Paid with ApplePay. Went to the concessions stand to pick-up my stuff. They didn't have one of the items, so they cancelled my whole order. Got a substituted item. Went to pay, then they told me they don't take ApplePay. So I didn't get anything, and they wasted the popcorn & Iced! ‍ Great business model you idiots! I'm not happy, and you wasted product!!! ‍ Guess I'll stick to streaming services at home, and stop wasting time driving here! read more

Big theater with lots of options to watch. Great snacks as well. Customer service amazing.

No frills theater with all the latest hits. Friendly staff and clean restrooms. Can't really knock on this place as I have not had any issues. read more

So far we have sat through 30 minutes of friggin commercials. This getting old. WTF we paid to see a movie!

It's been a while since I've gone to the theatres and I heard the seats were redone and we had to check it out! Shoutout to Audrey for being very awesome and helpful! We accidentally booked tickets for the wrong theatre and she made the stressful situation much easier to take care of!! The rest of the staff was very kind too. Will definitely come back sooner than I thought! read more

Our tickets reflected a 7:20 movie start. I know to expect movie previews, but at 7:20 we got over nine minutes of commercials after we watched on the other commercials. Then the previews came. The actual movie didn't start until after 7:45. Plan accordingly. Incredibly frustrating. read more

Regal Arroyo Grande - 7:20 Showing - Cinema Near Me - Arroyo Grande, California

Sold out showing of Wicked and the temperature in the theater must have reached 85°. I missed part of the movie to go out and ask them to turn up the air. It didn't become more comfortable and I spoke to the manager after the show, who condescendingly tried to explain to me how air conditioning worked, that it takes an hour to cool down and how they're not used to full theaters. What? There is a thermostat that should do that work and, if that's not working - or even if it is - check the theater temperatures periodically. Your job is to make sure the customers are comfortable. read more

The real reason movie theatres are struggling. We went to see Dune last night. Pretty good movie, the movie theatre was clean and well maintained and the employees were helpful. So far, so good. Unfortunately, the cons outweigh the pros and make it unlikely we will be frequenting movie theaters at the same rate we did pre-pandemic. We used to go every 1-2 weeks. Now the seats are $16 each so for four of us it was $64. Then for two buckets of popcorn and three sodas the cost was $50 and two of those sodas were just soda water. Even the employees looked embarrassed when they told us the price. $114 for four people to see a movie is just ridiculous. They then proceeded to show us 30 minutes of trailers and commercials so a 2 1/2 movie that was supposed to start at 7 pm didn't start until 7:32. Way to rip off your customers and then make them sit through half an hour of advertising so you can make as much money as possible off them. Movies used to be the great date night experience but I can't image many teenagers or college kids can afford them these days. There is something very rewarding about experiencing a movie on a big screen surrounded by a ton of other fans enjoying it along with you, but not at those prices. Movie theaters need to rethink their business model. They are driving away their most valuable customers by trying to wring every last cent out of them. read more

Zachary and Audry deserve a round of applause for helping my daughter track down her phone in the movie theater. It was not easy they had to review security cameras and do a little interrogation so to speak but stuck with it and I actually got my daughter's phone back I also want to compliment the organization of the movie theater in general. I always have a good experience going to the theater, and they have very attentive employees that always make you feel welcome. Bravo, Zachary and Audry ! Thanks again read more

Sunday, 10/22/23 my husband & I went to the 12:10pm showing of "Killers of the Flower Moon". Staff was great, Movie was great, however, the theater movie house, not so much. The online movie schedule showed a 12:10pm start time. 12:10pm arrived, showing commercial, after commercial, after commercial. And then movie preview after movie preview - with commercials mixed in. 25 minutes later, or 12:35pm, the Movie FINALLY started. All during the movie, the LOUD bass booming sounds from the movie next door penetrated the walls into our movie house, thus taking away from the movie experience we paid for. This will be the LAST TIME we will be seeing a movie at the Regal Arroyo Grande Movie Theater. read more

A good local mutiplex. Nicely maintained. A bit overwhelmed at the early shows, one line for both concessions and tickets. I was late to my movie. People are friendly and helpful. Popcorn needs some love. Maybe a different brand. Small size and lots of debris. read more

I remember regal was the theater to go to. But now with downtown movie experiences slo and those huge, squishy recliners, it makes these regal seats seem like the palm. The arm rests are so worn out there's barely any padding in them. The chairs hardly recline, and the seats are so close together that the person behind you constantly kicks the back of your seat. And a movie at 4pm is $13 lolwhat. Small popcorn $7. $20 for a movie and a small popcorn in a terribly uncomfortable chair. My advice? Start selling alcohol and maybe it wouldn't feel so uncomfortable. read more

We enjoy theatre because it's comfy, air conditioned, and concessions has a yummy variety of treats. Ample parking. We always get good service. If you have a Regal Crown card use it when purchasing tickets, goodies. You get to wrack up points to get free tickets or concessions. I love using mine. If you don't have Regal card, please get one. You'll find points wrack up quickly and you can starting using at theatre. read more

Great spacious theater. Plenty of screens and seating. Friendly staff and good popcorn.

Clean theater :) Just like any other generic movie theater, the only thing that is a bummer is that theres no chairs that recline

Definitely an older theater. The theater reeks of old popcorn and the concession/snack bar is underwhelming and expensive...$5.99 for a small Coke! That's robbery!! That being said, there is good sound from the movie speakers. The seats were comfortable but old. read more

Came to see Maverick. Great experience! Friendly, fast team managing crowd control. Only thing negative to comment is I wish the Icee machine (cherry) was functioning. Other than that, I had a great time and I look forward to returning. read more

This used to be one of the nicest movie theaters in the area. After going there today I would not recommend this theater. First of all, no one was at the front door to take tickets. You had to go through the snack bar lane to show your printed ticket. One person at the cash register, another occasionally dropped by and one not really knowing what she was suppose to do or how to do it. Along the way I ordered 2 hot dogs for my husband and myself which were not ready but the time we got up to the register. I also got some butterfingers in a box. Also I got earned a free popcorn from a prior time maybe a while ago. When we got to our seats I gave my husband his food. Let me explain what we tried to eat. We specifically skipped lunch because we thought it would be fun to have lunch and a movie. The bun my hot dog was in was so hard we could have used it as a brick. The hot dog was cooked so long it was hard to take a bite. My husband was so hungry he weathered through and finished it. I did not. Next the candy. The box of butterfingers had only ten in the box and we're hard as a rock, not soft and flaky. So we did not eat that. Onto the free small bag of popcorn. Was it made yesterday? I don't even think the birds would want it. Onto the women's restroom. Disgrace! Paper all over the floor, no paper to wipe our wet hands dry. I was glad I could get some soap out of the dispenser to was my hands. I will never go to this movie theater in the future. Big mistake! I will stay up here in the north country to go to the movies. read more

Please fix the volume on your movies, I was barely able to hear the voices of dr strange last night. I asked people around me after the movie and everyone I spoke too said it was way too quiet. I'm going to have to spend money to watch the movie again because whenever the characters spoke I could barely hear yet all the action sounds were at the perfect volume. read more

We arrived from the bay area at 1pm and went directly to the theater. Our movie didn't start until 1:50. I asked if there was something else we could watch for a few minutes until our movie started. The ladies behind the counter were fine with it but when we went in a guy came up and said we weren't supposed to be in there. I said fine and he said "no it's not". I asked him what the hostility was for and he tried to backtrack. I don't know if it was my skin color or if he was a natural a-hole. His actions were way over the top. I will do everything I can to make sure no one of color visits this theater. read more

Definitely our last movie at Regal! How pathetic is it to wait in line (which took forever) while people pick their seat!!! How do you know if you're by a baby, kid's party, or behind a super tall person. To top it off we get inside and the theatre is open! They want you to use an app that 1. Takes away from jobs, 2. Costs a convenience fee! Boo Regal. What happens if you accidentally sit in the wrong seat? Does a fight break out? read more

This is an old theater. It looks and feels old, but that's ok. The staff is always really friendly and I don't have to drive all the way to San Luis or Santa Maria. The concession stand is over priced like every other theater but that's just part of the whole move experience. Bonus: this is a Regal theater so it's a great little program to earn points for free tickets! :) read more

ABSOLUTELY fantastic theater! They always have qthe latest and greatest films and a wide variety so that there is something for everyone! The location is great; conveniently right off the 101 freeway and surrounded by other shops, restaurants and businesses! Lines don't ever seem to get too crazy and I love that you can easily preorder tickets online! Since it's a Regal Cinema you can collect points and get deals on snacks etc. if you're an avid moviegoer like myself lol! Also worth mentioning, they keep a tidy ladies room with numerous stalls to accommodate the masses! Only thing missing here is the BIG recliner seating...mabey in the future!? read more
