Clean theater. Solid food experience. Comfortable chairs. Enjoyed the movie would return to this hidden gem

Why do people go to this theater? You don't sit in reclining movie seats, just stackable chairs at tables. The food is terrible. There are so many kids running around (yes, running) that you can't hear the movie. Seriously, if you really want to WATCH the movie, just stay home! read more

Please put some WD40 in these old chair hinges so I can enjoy Spiderman without the kids in front of me creaking their chairs through out the entire film. Completely ruined my experience. read more

Great seats and service! Friendly staff and quick to bring my tab at the end of the movie

Always fun for our Girlfriend group for lunch and movie. We pick movies that usually make us laugh out loud.

the bar tender at the bar was a complete ass. the movie we say was good and the waiter beth j was amazing!!! the food suck!! i had a wrap they used the knife to cut a buffalo sauce wrap first then cut mine. i am cant eat spicy food. near again read more

I haven't been to the movies in a long time but went the other night and had a great time. Love that you can get drinks and a full meal. The food is your typical bar food but I had the steak and cheese and it was good. I wanted to get popcorn as well and went half way through the movie and the front was shut down. So make sure you get your popcorn early! read more

Great prices, friendly crew that really hustles your drinks and food. The best fries I've eaten in a long time. Others in my party really enjoyed their burgers and monster chicken fingers. Book a cinema for 20 people with all the popcorn and soda you care to consume for $250 with the movie of your choice! Grateful they are still operating during the pandemic. read more

I love Smitty's. My friends Hosts a movie night every October. The chairs are super comfy and when you re t the theater, they provide you with unlimited drinks and popcorn. They have a full menu for people who want more than movie food and the staff is very friendly. I got the nachos grande and a root beer float. Both were oversized and yummy. I'm going to look into renting a night out! read more

Smitty's is just not my favorite place to catch a movie. If I'm going to the movies, it's because there is something coming out that I don't want to wait for and want that theater experience. We went years ago and didn't love it, but thought maybe it was because there was a younger crowd so it was noisy and there was a lot of movement. We've had a gift card for over 5 years that we've never cared to use but decided to this past weekend, hoping that if we went to a scary movie, it'd be a little more calm. I felt terrible for the young girl working the front counter, all by herself. The line was practically out the door and she was doing amazing, but definitely should have had some help. To me, it's very distracting to have lights on and people moving around to get or bring orders. I was less than impressed with the popcorn and the soda was flat but we did order some chicken tenders and fries, which were surprisingly decent. With our gift card used up, I don't think we'll be heading back to Smitty's next time we want to see a movie. read more

Had high hopes for this place. The idea of dining for a theater movie that serves beer is awesome! This place....not so much. Why are we sitting in gaming chairs? Food comes out so fast I'm concerned it's not even cooked to order. I ordered a mushroom Swiss burger. It was out so fast I thought they brought someone else's burger. Mushrooms? Where were they? It's literally in the name of the burger. The meat wasn't even luke warmI'd rather wait 20 min+ for my meal than have it be rushed before the movie starts and not even be cooked. At least the beer is good. It needs a serious remodel and cooks that actually cook before I come back read more

It was great to see a movie again but this felt a little odd walking in and not smelling popcorn. The theater has the same dressing on the walls that Hoyts Cinemas used back in the days but the chairs were mostly gamers or computer chairs. The food and service were okay and the picture was good but the lighting never went fully off which is annoying when you are trying to watch a dark movie. The prices $10 a ticket and with food and drinks we were all in for under and $80 night. So it works out to be a little better price wise than going to a big chain where the prices can be $20 per ticket. read more

Smitty's was a real joy to go to, you sit in a cafeteria type set up, extremely comfortable in business captains chairs. Good can be ordered before or during the movie and is served to you. It's quite the movie experience, would highly recommend Smitty's and will go back again soon! :) You need to come and see and experience it for yourself! read more

Smitty's Cinema - Topsham - A great place to watch a movie, comfortable, relaxing, and a pleasant movie experience. - Cinema Near Me - Topsham, Maine

We enjoy going to Smitty's. We get some food and watch the movie. Staff is polite and efficient.

Love this place! The wait staff is amazing and food is decent. Chairs are comfortable and adjustable.

Sometimes a girl just wants to drink an adult beverage in a big ol' comfy chair while stuffing her face with potato skins and watching some giant blockbuster on an enormous screen without a) having to make said adult beverage or potato skins herself, and b) having to clean up the mess afterwards. So, thanks, Smitty's for the indulgence! I admit, the chow isn't great. It's a bunch of mediocre pub food, and as a true vegetarian my options are SUPREMELY limited. But, you're not necessarily coming here to be wowed by the food though; you're coming here because sometimes it's nice to sit down and have someone wait on you while you watch a movie and not be the person waiting on your family while they're trying to watch a movie (because, let's face it, you're not - you're too busy making and baking the endless rounds of potato skins to bring to them). But where the food falters, everything else doesn't. At this particular Smitty's, for example, the staff - regardless if it's the front counter folks selling you your ticket, or the waiters themselves - have always been friendly, patient, eager to please, and ninja like in their ability to replenish your Coney Island Root Beers and potato skins sans bacon. As a side note, I once came with a sprained knee. Have you ever had a sprained knee? It's AWFUL. The staff went out of the way to help me in the theater and got me an extra big chair to prop my leg on to. Was I capable of doing that all myself? Sure was. But they helped anyway because they're just that customer service focused. Also, the bathrooms here - every time I've come - have been sparkly clean. There's plenty of parking. And the admission isn't any pricer then normal cinemas (I believe as of now they even have some sweet deals, like: movies all day on Tuesday are just $5, after 9pm on Fridays and Saturdays movie's are just $5, and how about FREE admission to watch the Patriots on Sunday's [if you're into that sort of thing]). So - in the words of Donna Meagle - treat yo self. Movies and popcorn, cocktails and potato skins, coffee and cake... whatever you want. Just sit down, relax, and let them take care of you! read more

Smitty's is the go-to for the occasional date night for my boyfriend and I. We thoroughly enjoy going to the movies, but live a ways away from the theatre, so we just don't go often. Smitty's is always clean, and they offer some great food. We always go for the burgers and the mozzarella sticks. Drink prices (alcoholic) are a bit pricey for what you get... a bottle (not draft) of Angry Orchard cider is $5.00. A little steep, when a pint could cost you less some other places. The picture and audio quality of the film is always great. Never too loud or too quiet. I guess my only complaint, and one that I fully accept is that during the film, servers are walking and collecting dishes and drinks and taking care of patrons. This is fabulous; however, as a short person, it becomes a bit of a disappointment when someone stands right in front of you to clear the area. Again, I accept the reality of the situation, but it is something to note. read more

Worst movie theater ever! I do get the concept and it would be great if the chairs would be more comfortable, the waiters/waitresses wouldn't stand front of you meanwhile you trying to watch the movie and on top of that they leave the lights on! Are you kidding me????????!!!!!!! Lights on?! Half the movie you can't see if it darker background. Horrible. We're never coming here! read more

My husband and I came here after hearing our friends talk about it. I personally didn't like the movie, but that's not the theaters fault. I've never been to a theatre that actually has waiters coming to serve you whatever you need. All you have to do is put your menu up and they come and ask you what you want. We got buffalo tenders and waffle fries. The buffalo tenders were HOT but I liked them and the waffle fries are great, but I'm biased to waffle fries. We didn't get any alcohol, but I wanted to try the X-wing, sounded yummy! Our waiter was super friendly and checked up on us just enough to not distract us from the movie. The bathrooms were sparkling clean. I definitely think if they updated the seating to something a little more comfier than office chairs they'd be able to seriously compete with other theaters. There is actual movie theatre seating available, but I would think it's hard to eat food there. They offer great discounts on certain days of the week and give free popcorn to military members. All in all, I'd come check this place out. Prices are reasonable and you won't go bankrupt if you want a box of candy ($3 for snow-caps, I mean seriously!!?? That's cheap!!) read more

Things I like: Good prices, friendly staff. That's it. Things I don't like: The food. This is your typical bar food. Nothing of substantive quality. Not sure what else I expected, but I would stick with the usual popcorn with my movie. Another aspect some people like, but I don't, are the reclining chairs. Are they big and soft? Yes, but we sat at tables, which means they roll around. They're basically big office chairs that you have to stabilize yourself on. I don't mind office chairs, but trying to lean back, eat your food, and watch a movie while balancing is not fun. I know a lot of people like this theater, but I am not a fan. I'll be going somewhere else for my movies. read more

I just left the special showing of "Polar Express" with my family. Overall it was a fun night out. Pros: They only charged $5 for each person. When we went into the theater and were waiting for the movie instead of boring previews they had "The Grinch" cartoon playing. It was definitely a bonus! We ordered dinner and service was the fastest we have ever had and the food was very good! The Santa they had come in for the kiddos was fantastic! We also loved how the kids were given letters to write to Santa. In the hallway they had the cutest little mailbox addressed to Santa and the North Pole. Cons: When we paid for our purchase we specifically asked about the advertised arts and crafts. The two working just smiled and said Santa would be there soon around the corner. Once we sat down we saw kids doing the crafts and come to find out the front staff were supposed to give them to us. Also, parents couldn't join in with their kids. :( Part of the Polar Express movie is having cocca on the train. Smitty's advertised cocca and cookies for the movie as well. I know my family was disappointed as was the family next to us. This is such a great family event that with such a small tweek could be amazing and would sell out every time! It's so hard to get on the Portland polar express train because it's fully family oriented. Please take this into consideration. We will be back and will definitely tell our friends. Can't wait to see what the future holds. read more

Visited this theatre for an evening with my boyfriend. We stayed in Portland, and had free tickets. I was extremely pleased with the service of the staff working that night. We ate before arriving, as I read the reviews before going. Others in the theatre had food, and seemed to enjoy it. The drinks were delicious! I had a margarita, which is $2.00 cheaper on Monday's. Overall, the experience was incredible, far above my expectations , and above any theatre we have in Atlantic Canada. My only recommendation: the sound could be turned up a few notches, we missed hearing the first 15 minutes of the movie, due to surrounding couples talking. We were not that close, 6 seats away, but it was disturbing. Food for thought. Will defiantly check out other Smitty's cinemas in the future, as I enjoy travelling to ME and NH often. read more

Smitty's Cinema - Topsham - Cinema Near Me - Topsham, Maine

So came here after a lot of mixed suggestions from friends at work, some said it's a no go and some said it's the best thing since sliced bread, so I finally decided to try it out for myself. I'm a huge movie buff and it's awesome cause I love food and more specifically my movie snacks even more. I've honestly never seen anything like this place anywhere before, definitely not back home in MD, but I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed my experience to the upmost, the staff was beyond friendly and accommodating and there's a lot to do here if you come with a group of friends or bring the kids. The food and drink selection is very broad, pretty much anything you're in the mood for you can have lol. But the wife and I stuck with a large popcorn, some bomb waffle fries and buffalo tenders and of course I had to get my snow caps and some diet Coke's. Don't expect this food to be top notch 5 star quality but I'll tell ya it hits the spot for sure haha. Only reason I won't give it a 5 star is it's a little outdated and the seating isn't the comfiest for movie viewing but hey I highly recommend it and it's kind of apart of there thing and the experience they offer so I loved it....side note we saw the movie glass, pretty good if you care haha read more

Smitty's is one of the best movie theaters around. I definitely recommend getting your dinner there - pub-like meals, appetizers, etc. - and their selection of beer is pretty great. I've only ever ordered the Cosmo for a cocktail, but I enjoyed that, too. There is a variety of seating in each theater: your typical movie theater style seating, bar seating, and table & chair seating. The typical seats are quite comfortable, and while I do wish the other chairs weren't wheeled, they are pretty comfortable too so it works for me. And don't worry popcorn lovers, you can still get standard movie theater snacks if you don't want to order off the menu. I recommend following them on Facebook, because they usually run special deals, promotions, and pricing, and even ask for suggestions for throwback movies to show. During football season they show Patriots games in one of the theaters (free admission), and while I can't attest to their party/group services, those are available as well. read more

I went in to see 1917. Great movie I give 5 stars to. Popcorn and soda are reasonably priced for a movie theater. The seating in Theatre #1 is simply high backed, office desk chairs, albeit with limited recline ability. The chairs move around on the tile floor and I could never get comfortable at all. In fact, it was very uncomfortable to me. Also, the overhead lights were never fully dim and a waitress serving food was trying to be quiet, but still very distracting for a movie theatre. read more

love smitty's but when will they fix the milkshake machine!?!? the people are waiting (topsham, specifically)

I was definitely ecstatic when this popped up near me! I've seen countless movies here, and I absolutely love the experience. The chairs are very comfortable, and way more accessible than a regular theater. The only criticism I'd give is the quality of the food, which could be slightly increased, but overall it's very good. read more

Watched IT and ordered here food last pm - Friday night. The theater is clean and the food was pretty good - better than expected. Seating is very comfortable and the service was fast and helpful. Will return for sure! read more

This place can be hit or miss for me...it really depends on who's on staff for the night. This weekend I went out for the first time in a long time for a movie, dinner, and drinks with my honey. At first apprehensive about the whole experience, what with a global pandemic and all, it was soon turned around by our exceptional waitress, Savanna. She was full of suggestions which is a blessing for those of us cursed by indecision. Despite having other tables, it felt like she was there just for us - she was that quick and attentive. Thank you for your heartwarming smiles and your excellent customer service! This place is great for an easy night out and a friendly serving staff takes the cake! I won't worry about coming here again, I look forward to it! read more

Not my favorite place to go and defiantly not a great place to take a date. The food in fast food quality, Im not even sure why they asked me how I wanted my burger cooked because it came cooked like any other frozen burger. If you are going you might as well eat because there is no standard theater seating. Just be sure to get there early so you don't have to wait to get your food half way through the movie. The chairs are surprisingly comfortable though. And they are pretty clean. It's not my favorite but it's not the worst place either I'm sure I'll be back. read more

Smitty's Cinema - Topsham - Hawkeye burger - Cinema Near Me - Topsham, Maine

I had no high expectations for this food, since its a movie chain establishment. My husband got one of the burgers and said it was forgettable and my friend got the steak bomb and stated "it was ok". I got the chicken sandwich and could taste the generic, mass produced, previously frozen slab that it really was. I added pepper and ketchup to try to kick it up a notch, but this lukewarm chicken patty was not about to be saved. The sweet potato fries were also a previously frozen and fairly soggy. Did I eat it all? Yeah, I was hungry. So was it edible? Sure. Would I eat any of their meals again? Not by choice. Would I give their drinks and desserts a try? Sure, game on, they looked interesting...and involved chocolate. The service was great, polite, quiet, and prompt. The chairs were comfy as heck and I liked that there were more than one option for seating styles. I know the lights had to be on a bit for food service but I personally would have enjoyed a slightly darker atmosphere. read more

My family & I love the relaxing atmosphere & tasty food, all while enjoying a movie! The service is great! We also had the extra large popcorn to share (family of 5). Instead of all 5 leaning & competing to eat from one container, I asked for and the staff graciously gave us "fry baskets" to use so we each could have an individual amount of popcorn right in front of us! read more

I'll give it 3 stars for the movie, seating and fun. Food is not worth the price at all. I ordered a milk shake and had to send it back, all watery and ice crystals. Mediocre potato skins. Kids portions are okay but not tasty. Go for desert, drinks or just comfortable seats. read more

Smitty's Cinema - Topsham - What to eat? - Cinema Near Me - Topsham, Maine

This place is over priced and the food is cold and inaccurate. I ordered ranch and got bluecheese.My grandson wanted BBQ chicken and got BUFFALO. That he couldn't eat. I say my fries are cold and I get a second order of cold ones. The seats are dirty. Trash is in the cup holders at 11am. We won't be wasting our money on visiting this place again. Since I can't give 0 stars I will give 1. read more

A unique movie experience and especially fun with kids. You get to eat and drink, including beer, while you watch the movie. Seats are comfortable, and movable for a good view. The food is focused on things that kids like. It is good, if not the most healthy. Although they have some good salads. Try it, you will be glad you did. read more

Our favorite place for dinner and a flick. Love being able to recline and relax while we watch a great movie.

Nice layed back atmosphere, but the food didn't knock my socks off. Also the volume of the action movie next door blead loudly into our RomCom read more

So sad, they expect you to buy their water and high priced sodas. Went to a matinee with my husband who is diabetic and has trouble with his kidneys. He had water with him since he needs to drink and cannot do sodas nor chlorinated water. A Lady walked over and rudely stated" you can't bring that in here". Now know that we have been going there for years, not anymore! read more

Loved the movie and the food was good. But the thing that ruined it all is the woman who took my money must have assumed the change was hers because she didn't even ask me if I wanted change back or if I was leaving a tip. I am disgusted and will never come back if this is how I'll be treated. read more

I took my daughter tonight to smittys for the first time. We were pretty excited to check out a movie theater that also serves dinner! Unfortunately we never received our dinner but I'll get to that. The lobby was clean and welcoming. The front counter staff was friendly, and fast! Our movie tickets were VERY reasonably priced. We ordered popcorn of course it was delicious. For me you can't really mess up any starch loaded with butter! The chairs are super comfy and the theater itself very clean. Before we came I was a bit nervous about the idea of people taking a delivering orders all around us interrupting our movie. I was wrong, the staff was stealth! I hardly noticed them moving around the theater. The aroma of food all around we decided to try it out. After ordering we waited... And waited... And waited some more. The check was dropped off 20 minutes into our wait. ??? The waitress came back 30 minutes later and asked me if the check was all set. I informed her we never received our food. With no explanation nor anything further she walked away, I presumed to get the food. An hour passed from the time we ordered and the movie credits began rolling. We left the theater and I handed the check back to the waitress and another woman. I explained the situation and was promptly given two free movie passes for the inconvenience. I completely understand mistakes happen. It's unfortunate however I'm glad they recognized it and tried to make it right. We will most likely be returning to use the passes. Stay tuned... read more
