    Came on a Thursday night and absolutely loved every bit of it. If you've debated going, do it! Great show and will definitely be back again.

    Our experience at River Oaks Theatre did not start out so great. We had to reschedule our tickets,…read moredid so through a phone call to the theatre a few days prior, then showed up to discover no tickets had been reserved for us at a sold out showing. We were not happy. The ticket agent at the front notified the manager who came to talk to us, get some clarification on what had happened and see what he could do to remedy the situation. He (regretfully we did not get his name) went above and beyond to make us happy. He had seats and a table moved into an available space, provided ticket passes and numerous other compensation for the missed step in ticket rescheduling. We had a wonderful experience watching the movie in comfort with good food and spot on service. We will definitely be returning. Any establishment that provides such high quality service deserves much support!

    I loved the OG River Oaks theater and am happy to patronize the new theater that's taken its place…read more Service is good. It's a beautiful space. The programming has been solid. I have removed 1 star due to the unfortunate experience I had via their expensive hotdog. This is a warning to everyone here.. the banh mi hotdog tastes like a**. omgagod... it literally tastes like evil. I have never had anything like it, and I've eaten at dozens of Vietnamese restaurants in my life. It's not only the pickled veggies on it that seemed to have marinated in something really awful, but it's the weird smoked? flavor given to the hotdog. I considered sending it back but opted to just make the best of the movie. Do you like the hotdog? If so I'd like you to post an opposing review because I can't imagine someone enjoying it. And since I am here... I get the gratuity is included but the wait staff never came back to clear dishes, and maybe it's because they will only come if you press the button? If that's the case it was not communicated to us, and when the wait staff went by us to serve our neighbors maybe it would be a good practice to check in quickly with other people in the row while they're there? That's it. Will return. Will never order hot dog again.

    Shocked... Hubby and…read moreI hadn't been to the movies in a hot minute, so we took advantage of a free night together. Unfortunately... eeek. First, I do want to give credit where it's due. The welcoming team was friendly from the moment we walked in, and the bartender was wonderful. Even though they were out of every wine I asked for (seven different selections!), she really tried her best to find something I'd enjoy. The only wines available were bottles at a much higher price point, which was disappointing. I'm still wondering what happened to their wine selection. Hubby did enjoy a nice cold beer served in a frosty glass, and that was perfect. Dinner was actually pretty good. The steak was cooked perfectly, and the lobster mac and cheese was tasty, although there wasn't much lobster to be found. Now for the theater itself... The seats are definitely showing their age and are getting a little rickety. Service was almost nonexistent. The one bright spot was a food runner who kindly pointed us to the QR code for the menu and even offered to bring us a printed menu. He was great. We ordered our movie snacks, but that's where things really went downhill. The popcorn was as stale as stale can be, the M&M's tasted old and a little funky, and somehow my club soda came with about four ice cubes and wasn't even very refreshing. The movie itself was good, and we still enjoyed having a much-needed date night together. Overall, though, it's sad to see this theater slipping because it used to be the place to go. I really hope they can turn things around. In the meantime, we'll be on the hunt for a new favorite theater. I'd love to hear everyone's recommendations!

The theater was clean and staff were very nice. The food was good and the menu has a good amount of options. You can get parking vouchers when you buy food; however, sometimes like evenings on most weekdays (I am not sure about Friday) parking will be free.

    How much do we have to spend to get the A/C turned on?!…read more I went this past Sunday to see the Devil Wears Prada 2 (for the second time; first time I saw it at iPic). Tickets are cheap: $30 each. Wine was a rip-off at $20 a glass for table wine (cocktails at iPic are $10). We ordered two glasses without realizing it'd be $40. The bartender had already pour our glasses before we could change our mind (and wish she would have alerted us that for $10 more we could have purchased the entire bottle... So almost $100 later, we are in theater 7 where it was stuffy and hot as hell; people were sweating. I had my jeans rolled up to my knees and eventually went to the concession stand for cups of ice water and they gave me cardboard boxes to serve as a fan. That's just ridic. Def can't blame the staff because they're mostly teens. But management, corporate, and even Nicole Kidman--take notice and fix this stat. For now, we're just gonna go to iPic because you spend about the same amount and for a much more enjoyable movie experience.

    This theater is nestled in a sweet spot within the Kirby area. The seats are cozy, the theater is…read morealways clean and it is a spacious location. The only con is that you do have to pay for parking in the garage ($5) versus an open parking lot, but at least you know your vehicle is secured! They offer upstairs and downstairs bars and concessions. It is also attached to an arcade and put put golf area, which makes this a great location for date night, girls night or family fun.

    I like Regal Edwards Greenway Plaza much more than other Regal locations in Houston, especially…read morecompared to Regal MarqE near I-10 and 610. The biggest difference is the seating--here, the seats fully recline and include footrests, so you can stretch out comfortably. The seats also feel wider and more cushioned than at MarqE. The audio quality is solid, and the overall theater feels modern and well maintained. One downside during my visit was that my seat was very dirty--it looked like someone had spilled a drink on it, and the entire front of the seat was sticky and wet. I had to move to a different seat, but there were very limited options left, so I wasn't able to sit next to my partner, which was a big inconvenience. Tickets can be a bit pricey, likely because of the location, but Regal's Tuesday discounts help a lot--you can often get tickets for around $8, especially for matinee showings. Parking is available in the attached garage for $5, which is convenient since there's very limited street parking in the area. Staff were friendly during my visit, and the theater has multiple screens with a good variety of movies. Overall, this is easily one of the best movie theaters inside the loop, and I'd still recommend it.

    Cute drive in, playing the latest movies! Address is now 45…read moreDelano Ave. The experience is heavily based on the weather outside, but the theater operates rain or shine. Bring a fan or chairs to set up outside if you're not watching in your car. Recommend to buy your tickets a head of time: the attendant can help purchase tickets but the way also check for your headlights to turn off during the movie. Tickets don't open until the day or so before movie. Audio comes on a FM radio channel- car battery needs to be on or bring a radio. We arrived @ 7:30 for a 9:00 PM movie, there was already a line for prime spots but it's worth getting there with about 1.5 hours to give to allow for checkin, finding a decent spot, and getting set up/going to the bathroom (porta potties were quite clean). They have a small concessions stand and one food truck when I went. Ground was wet so had to deal with a not so great parking or walking to the porta potty situation. Very barebones place but you get the experience you prepare for!

    AVOID THIS PLACE We've been Moonstruck fans for years, but…read morethis location change turned what was once a great event into a complete joke. Charging $12 a person for a mosquito-infested grass field full of potholes, one filthy porta-potty, no outside food, and a single food truck was nothing but a cash grab. You squeezed every dollar out of people while delivering the bare minimum. Congratulations--you managed to ruin something people actually looked forward to.
