    Studio Movie Grill (SMG) in Duluth is a fantastic spot for both movie lovers and foodies alike. SMG has revolutionized the movie-going experience by offering an in-theater dining experience with a full menu and drink options, making it more than just a place to watch movies. Founded in 2000, Studio Movie Grill has grown into a popular chain, with locations across the country. They're known for their relaxed, yet upscale, vibe, allowing guests to enjoy a movie while indulging in a meal and drinks delivered straight to their seats. The Duluth location is a great example of their high-quality service and comfortable atmosphere. The reclining seats are perfect for kicking back while you enjoy the movie, and the food selection is impressive--ranging from burgers to salads, plus delicious snacks and desserts. They also offer great deals, including discounted tickets during the week, making it an affordable option for a night out. I've had a great experience here each time, and I'll definitely be back! Whether you're watching the latest blockbuster or an indie flick, Studio Movie Grill is a solid choice for a fun night out. This SMG location has gotten much better. More security, more servers, more managers. I can definitely tell that they're under new management or just wanted to make some changes. Things are much better and I personally appreciate it. Better food options as well.

    I got here early yesterday and I didn't have an issue waiting, I understand it can take time to clean a theater that also has food in it. So the 20 mins before rule didn't bother me. What did bother me was the fact that it took over 20 minutes to give me a water with lemon. That should take seconds. There's no reason why my food should be coming out before my drink. Not to mention, I came at 6:15 on a THURSDAY. There weren't many people in the theater at all, so it just seems like the service here is slow overall and people aren't paying attention. I was also disappointed to find that the buttons don't work on majority of the seats. If you're going to serve food, the ONLY way to contact a server should be working at every seat. Having to get out of my seat and walk down to a button that works is unpleasant. This SMG has been here for years, it's BEEN time for a renovation or make over, there aren't even reclining seats & you're charging people more than 12 bucks for a movie... insane to me. This is silly. Maybe they need to transition to ordering online. The only highlight here was the Ballpark Chicken Nachos, I really enjoyed them. I got the Meat Eater Pizza trying to be safe and unfortunately it tasted sort of rubbery and fake. The meat didn't even have flavor really. I was very disappointed. I really used to like SMG's food, I used to work there as a teenager , so it's sad to watch it go down hill in this way. Idk if i'll be back after that experience.

    I'm not sure if the workers are all teenagers or what, but they sure all act like it. They were very disruptive. I genuinely thought they were patrons; I even heard one cussing. That's unprofessional. I could understand that behavior from amc but from smg? This place is supposed to be a nicer location, and as of late it's not. I wouldn't spend my money here, another thing: the service fee. I have no problem paying for it, I always tip. We ordered drinks, we had to reminds the worker three times and even then she didn't bring our drinks. Three times is ridiculous. Especially considering it wasn't busy. We reminded her each time she came to check up on us. Another weird thing is they took a random dance break ? They were dancing to the movie ? That's really weird , instead of getting our drinks that were due over 15 minutes she's dancing ? That is definitely not 18% tip quality. The movie went along smoothly, and the place was clean. The food tasted good.

    Studio Movie Grill gets a 0/5 star rating in my book. Let me explain - When you purchase tickets, a QR code is included in the confirmation (simple, right?) Not so, I'm afraid. You must then go manually print your tickets with no customer service. It gets worse folks. The restroom ... dark to the point where you sit in someone's piss left on the seat. Then, the soap is out in 2/3 dispensers. So yeah. Did I mention the entire theatre is in semi darkness and smells like stale BO, overcooked food and spilled alcohol? The most important part: theatre. The seats are easily the most uncomfortable I've ever sat in (and do not recline). The attached tables are coated in residual food grime and the seats' leather coverings are cracked to hell. Anyway, I strongly advise you to pick a different theatre. The higher price is worth it. P.S. not safe to leave your belongings in your car (even if covered). This is NOT a safe area.

    Smells musty and dirty when you walk in. Seats are the most uncomfortable seats I've ever sat in at a movie theater.

    They had a full bar, ample space for mingling, they could literally just add some music and it'll be a mini-bar scene that I bet would go quite well.

    So this is a pretty low-key but still very well-kept movie theater. I feel like it's a place that…read moreyou wouldn't know you were going to unless you knew what you were going to. If that makes sense lol. It's a large shopping area on the front of it so you probably wouldn't even think to go around to the back but that's where the theater is. I've been there multiple times and the service is always great. Everybody's super warm and friendly and getting tickets is quick and easy. A lot of times I just go on Fandango but when I have gotten it at the actual theater, all you really do is go to the kiosk so it's very simple . It's usually decorated with something so they are big on themes but it's always very well kept and very clean so that's a plus for sure . I haven't really eaten a lot there but what I have had has been light bites, like tater tots or something like that. Nothing major but they do have actual food and not just wings and fries. Just keep those expectations in mind because it's not like it's a full menu. If you're sitting for an hour and a half in a movie theater, you don't need a pork roast LOL. They do have food and it's more than just popcorn there, like other theaters. Just keep that in your head if you go and decide to eat there versus eating elsewhere . All in all because I'm not too far from it, it's a really good theater and it's a really good choice if you're looking for something that's kinda tucked away .

    This movie theater is really nice and I was really surprised how busy it was for a Sunday…read moreafternoon. There was everyone from kids, families, singles to seniors just enjoying a good movie. When you walk in there's a bar and a counter to order concessions and food. They have a nice sized cocktail and food menu. You can even order food/drinks to be delivered to your seats once the movie begins. I love that they carry alot of movie merchandise like popcorn buckets, cups and blankets. They also have the movie themed backdrops for photo opps. I really enjoyed the seats, they reclined and were very comfortable. This place is somewhat hidden, but there's tons of available parking. The drinks and food were really good. I loved the movie themed drinks. I will definitely return. Customer service was also good.
