    This was my first time at this SMG location and it was just average. I went to see the New Captain America on a Tuesday night and tickets were only $6- which is a steal with prices being so high nowadays. I did, however, spend $30 on food and drinks. To drink I got the Pain Chiller and it was delicious- highly recommend. To eat, I went with the buffalo chicken tenders. On the menu, it specifically said that items marked 'entree only' do not come with a side. This item did not have that so I asked my server about it and even read the menu back to her and she told me that it doesn't matter, all sides are $3. Really annoying, especially when the menu says something different. Overall, the food and the menu were fine. The seats infront of me were very dirty and mine was actually broken. The foot part of the recliner was missing the middle section which made putting my legs up an uneven experience.

    No one in theater so enjoyed our movie. Wish I could say the same for the food. Craving the Taco Salad but was told no longer offered. So decided to try something new we shared the avocado flatbread and buffalo chips. Both items are cold food items. Avocado pizza was mashed avocado on top of a thick cold premade flatbread (yuck) would have been better if flatbread was cooked so some crispy. Instead a thick cold bread with some arugula smashed avocado and a light drizzle of vinegar and cherry tomatoes, we added chicken for some protein it also was tasteless flavorless chicken cubes. Not one good bite. Buffalo chicken on the potato chips with a blue cheese drizzle and bacon crumbs. Once again chicken cold chips cold and everything was just mushy. Chicken flavor had a nice bite but mushy and very dry. Disappointing since with added 18% at the beginning of order no one comes back to see if they can help if any problems.

    I have to admit that I was a little apprehensive about going back the a theater due to the pandemic. I was fully vaccinated back in January but still take a lot of precautions. Thankfully, there were only about 10 other people in the theater! The chairs are comfy and recline. I ordered fried shrimp, fries and an iced tea. With tip, $22 Goodness, they make the money!! It was good, just not $22 good. The movie was good- The Conjuring The Devil Made Me Do It. I'm always up for a horror flick!

    They work really hard at screwing up. Seriously you can't be that lucky. It takes skill, training, searching high and low sifting through resumes hundreds or even thousands of them to find people who care as little about quality and service as the fine folks at this SMG location. The owners can't be that dense or else they just don't care. How have they not fired the lot of them and started over??? I find that suspect as I know some of the leadership and they are incredible, but this location is so far below sub-par that it baffles me and really makes me question the commitment of leadership. As with many many many of our prior trips to SMG, the food was atrocious. My daughter ordered a bun-less bacon cheeseburger with a side of mayonnaise and a side of honey mustard as she is gluten free I ordered coconut chicken tenders. Both were a joke... When we ordered they alerted us that they weren't doing refills on drinks and asked if that was okay. I asked if I had a choice and he was confused. It's not really okay given the price, but we don't get a vote so we move on. Also, before our food or drinks ever arrived, he came back and informed us it was last call and wanted to know if we wanted to order anything else... It had been over 30 min since we initially ordered and in my mind I was like, how about my food? I just said no thanks. Her burger arrived with my "chicken tenders" after a 20+ min wait and had the bun. She told them when it arrived and the waiter said he would get it fixed. I assumed they would just take it off and give it right back, no harm no foul, but you know what momma says about assuming... 20 MIN later they returned, after I had completely finished eating my meal, and when it arrived, wait for it..., it STILL had the bun. However the waiter caught it a foot before it got to us and sent it back. It was so close. Another 20 minutes and it arrived... no cheese, no mayonnaise or honey mustard and so incredibly well done and burnt that it could have been used in the NHL. My tenders were anemic. They didn't look like any I've had there in the past, as I typically order the coconut tenders, as they were literally the size of the fish sticks we got as kids from the frozen food isle. It was a joke, but they weren't kidding. I kid you not, the fries were bigger. I told the waiter I was less than impressed and he said he would tell the manager to drop by. An hour later, the manager never arrived. All in all. I paid $12 for crappy hockey puck of a bacon cheeseburger that took an hour to arrive and was missing the cheese, $14 for a few tenders the size of fish sticks, $2 for two 12 oz cups of tap water and $0.50 for honey mustard we never got, plus tax and tip. The manager never cared to stop by and we had already complained enough that we threw up our hands in defeat and just paid the full price, tax, tip and left. NEVER AGAIN. That place sucks and isn't worth my time or money. I would rather drive further or just stay home than endure this location. It breaks my heart as I really want to like and support them, but as they say, you can't want it more than they do...

    The Alamo Drafthouse is a groovy little theater located in Richardson. They have a bar and…read morerestaurant where you can go hangout or you can indulge in a meal and a drink while watching a show on one of their big screens. We recently saw Project Hail Mary here on a Tuesday night. My husband bought the tickets in advance on Fandango so he could reserve our seats. He said it was surprisingly cheap, and my husband NEVER says that! LOL! The strip mall has a lot of parking, so you are bound to find something close. Check-in is just inside the door. The different screening rooms wrap around the hall. The aisles are wide so that you and a server can get through without bumping into the recliner chairs. The chairs are decently comfortable, but the middle seats get used a bit more than others, so you might notice that they aren't as supportive nowadays. There is a swing table with a QR code to access the menu. WiFi is free. ADH is really strict about phone use during movies and with unnecessary talking. They will not hesitate to boot you, but they have softened their stance a bit now that the menus are accessible by phone. I ordered everything online. The process was super easy to add drinks and food. I didn't like having to pull out my credit card and try to enter that in the dark. I really wish they had offered payments through PayPal and Apple Pay. We had margaritas, bottomless popcorn, and a pizza, but NO NAPKINS! My popcorn was given to the guy next to me, but he was nice and said, "This must be yours.". I handed it to my husband. The servers cane and went several times bringing food and drinks to various people. The movie started and still no pizza. I was not happy about this. We got there early so I wouldn't have to eat in the dark. It finally arrived, but I was not impressed. I ordered the Margherita. It was soggy, so the crust didn't hold the ingredients. I had to fold each slice NY style to prevent myself from wearing it. The mozzarella rounds on top were not really melted. They were still thick circle slices. I would not order this again. The popcorn was good, but I wasn't sure how to get seconds for our bottomless order. The QR code did have something that said seconds, but I didn't dare turn on my phone to put in a request during the film for fear of being booted. Maybe next time I will just get a standard popcorn. It's cheaper. Film was loud! Too loud for my hubby. He had his fingers in his ears the entire time. I was okay with it, but you definitely wouldn't want to make a habit of coming to see films here and risk your hearing longterm. ADH has some fun old films that they show each month. These special events often include props related to the film. It looks like fun. We will have to check it out eventually. We usually come here for new screenings that aren't available on streaming yet. They also have a monthly membership that allows you to see multiple films each month without the hassle of paying each time. That's a great idea for the movie aficionado or someone who likes to go out regularly. I do love the movie experience and try to support this local film house whenever I get a chance.

Instead of trying to help or politely explaining the policy, he spoke to me aggressively and simply told me they were closed. I understand that theaters may have policies about admitting guests after a movie has started, but customer service still matters. The combination of the ticketing issue and the way I was treated was disappointing. Because of this experience, I won't be returning.

Inside are two screens, both quite sizeable, with ample seating. From what I understand, this theater is not open year-round. It opens during summer blockbuster season, and when highly anticipated movies come about. I suppose that's why when we showed up, the guy thought we were there to see the new Mission Impossible movie. We were actually there to see The Muppets. When we got there, I was feeling a mixture of both excitement, and nerves. I looked around, and it looked like the Movie Theater That Time Forgot. The concession stand was dimly lit and looked like it hadn't been used in ages. There were movie posters rolled up in a corner, the marquees still used removable letters...it was OLD SCHOOL. The theater is owned/operated by an Indian man, who was the only person running everything. He was the concession stand clerk, box office clerk, and projectionist. Tickets are the cheapest anywhere for new flicks. $5 for adults, $3 for kids, all the time. The movie-watching experience was pretty nice...although about 2/3 of the way through the movie, the sound had some hiccups, which the man explained was due to the way he had everything set up. He apologized for that, and we didn't really mind, since he was so incredibly nice to us. He also REALLY loves and is proud of his surround sound, which he gave us a demo of (we watched a 20 minute segment from XXX, and the explosions, car crashes, ect. sounded really great), and he was really anxious to show it to us the entire night. I have to give him credit...he may not be running a sparkling, shiny new theater, but I liked his enthusiasm for what he did have to offer, and sometimes, that's all you really need. We will most definitely be back for an action flick to make use of his sound system.
