Such a unique experience that I was thrilled to enjoy again. My earlier review below from 4/30/11 still holds -- wouldn't change a word. This drive-in is a MUST DO. Food at the snack bar is fresh cooked and great. The counter staff moves you through quickly so you have your food in hand in plenty of time to enjoy it in your car before the show starts. $8 is the best price anywhere for 2 first run double features. Sound through the radio is perfect every time. Grass is lush and better than mine at home in the yard! As good as the movie experience is, the management and the way the drive-in is run is just as good. The place is clean and well kept. This is a great value for dates AND families and I hope it stays in business until I'm too old to drive.

A night to remember!…read more I was overjoyed by ever aspect of my first visit to the theatre. From the people at the door, to those at the concession stand, everyone was so nice. They had adult frozen drinks, such a cool option. And not extremely overpriced. We attended the screening of the cult classic The Lost Boys. The quality was great, as was the sound. We enjoyed the whole experience. We arrived early to get the "good seats". So we got screens showing the history of the theatre and information about the renovations. The place looks great and they put on a bunch of cool events. I highly recommend the Egyptian Theatre.

Unfortunately, for the final two weeks of this year I've suffered from a sprain ankle and a sinus…read moreinfection. So I've been pretty bedridden. However, the other day I was feeling much better and mustered up the energy to finally see Wicked For Good. I always drive past this theatre when I'm running errands, and it's actually the closest theatre to my house. So, I figured it was time to test this place out. I came without purchasing a ticket in advance. First thing I like about this theatre is you can purchase your ticket on the kiosk. You select your movie, then you select what type of seat you want- a standard recliner or a cuddlier seat. It was just me so I selected the recliner which was $7.95. I do like the idea of the cuddlier sofa though, that's super cute for couples. However, when I tried to pick where I wanted to sit only one seat was available to book. Which was very surprising to me because the theater wasn't that full and the movie has been out for months now. Thinking it was a glitch of the kiosk, I went to the counter to purchase tickets. Then I saw the screen where I could pick my seat and again there was only one seat I could pick. So I picked that seat thinking the theater wasn't going to be jammed packed (spoiler it wasn't). So, that's the only thing I was confused about. Why were seats block off when the theater wasn't full. Other than this mishap I really enjoyed my experience here. Luckily my seat ended up being a decent seat and it was exceptionally comfortable. There was a red button you could push which I assumed was a seat warmer, I pushed it but I didn't notice any changes in the temperature of my seat. For food I got a medium sprite and a large popcorn. It costs me about $18. Which is typical. I will say next time I'll order a medium popcorn, the large was so big I wasn't able to finish it before the movie was over! All in all this is a very solid theater. Very friendly employees, seats are comfortable and clean, oh and I forgot to mention they have a bar. So that's pretty cool. I can definitely see myself returning here again!

I do not recommend buying tickets in advance on Fandango as there is a service charge for really no reason. The auditorium are clean and the seats are comfortable with the ability to rock back-and-forth a little bit. The theater is equipped with those fancy multi drink machine see you can really help yourself to whatever you want. It also has the popcorn at a counter but you add your own butter and seasonings and they have a very large selection. Refills are available at no extra charge.

I had a really disappointing experience at this movie theater. Because of a mistake on the…read moretheater's end, my group and I were asked to leave even though we had done nothing wrong. We tried to explain the situation and show that there had been a misunderstanding, but instead of looking into it, the staff immediately kicked us out. It was embarrassing and frustrating to be treated that way. What made the experience even worse was how poorly the situation was handled. A simple conversation or double-checking the mistake could have solved everything, but instead we were inconvenienced and lost the chance to enjoy the movie we paid to see. Customer service should be about fixing problems, not making them worse. I definitely won't be returning, and I can't recommend this theater based on how this situation was handled.

On the ground level, there are intangibles, such as for the past several years, he has always had personnel regularly check on patrons in darkened theaters and is not beyond walking and assisting patrons to their seats, when there is not a rush for tickets and concessions. This is a sign of a manager always willing to go the extra mile. Further, the main auditorium is spectacular, one of a kind, and is frequently recognized as one of the most beautiful showpieces in the country, with a flawless restoration under the direction of the general manager, but wit one twist, beautifully comfortable recliner seats that are easy to maintain, and hygein friendly. What a wonderful experience it has been to attend this lovely theatre that is a treasure of McHenry County. I often purchase tickets for children to see a lovely film for only 2.00 in the summer, and all reports are the same, clean theater, spotless and high quality concessions and an attentive and safe environment for people of all ages. I have witnessed many staff members over the years, when the sudden rush is over, assisting patrons in theters, to insure their saftey abd well being. I especially am a fan of the mystery series, and the fun surprise movies. What a beautifully managed theater!
