Decent movie theater. They do a great job with getting all food on time before movies/ being discreet. You can only order the food online, drinks both online and at bar. The trays for food sits below eye level and has a light that is on during the whole movie. If you want a pitch black theater I don’t recommend this place. They dont buss the tables during the movie so also be mindful how much space you have. On the other hand, I had gotten a cold drink and the theater wasn’t cold so because of that, the glass got wet due to condensation and ended up slipping from the food trays that are in front of the seat. They are very sticky so it makes sense it could get slippery. Ended up getting soaked on my right side and I had went to the bar & they ringed me up another drink but never got it. You could visually see how soaked I got and this happened 20 mins into a 3 hour movie anyways I never received the drink. They understood? Dont know. They could’ve just told me that it couldn’t be replaced and I would’ve understood but saying that it will be replaced and not replacing is another thing. Just be mindful when drinking especially since it’s hot in the theater. I would not come back just because of my experience.

Went today to see Moana 2. Generally I think my expectations were too high. I went having looked at the menu and knew I wanted to order the pizza. For whatever reason, pizzas were not an option to order. We ordered the cheese and caramel popcorn and there was maybe 5% caramel popcorns, maybe... The burger was flavorless but the fries were pretty good. Quality screens and comfortable seats with a cool retro style to the place. Given the quality of the food I ate, the food is deeply overpriced. Tickets affordable. 18% auto gratuity with a policy to auto add an ADDITIONAL 5% if you don't manually close your tab is on the edge of unethical. Unlikely to go back here given the other available options in town.

I absolutely LOVED this theater. I live just 10 mins away and it was pretty much a perfect movie experience. Comfy, quirky, good food and service, and a take-no-prisoners phone and talking policy that really eliminated distractions. Frankly I don't want to know how much money I've spent here since we started going 5 years ago, but I think I'm done. Since they implemented online ordering and got rid of servers and order cards, it's gone way downhill. If folks weren't patrons before the change, they might not really appreciate the decline, because it's still a cool theater, but if you know what it was like before, it's such a bummer. Now you have to be on your phone during the movie, as does everyone around you, and you can't get help with food issues for love or money. The first time we went post-online ordering, they brought out my friend's buffalo cauliflower bites dry with no sauce. She submitted a request in the app to fix it, but no one came by. Three times during the movie she got up, tried to flag someone down, and they kept directing her back to the app saying there's nothing they could do. Finally she went to the lobby bar where someone actually helped her, and she got her food in the last 15 minutes of the movie. Today we gave it another try, hoping it would be different. Their pizza oven was broken, but without a server to tell us that, I had to wander out into the hall to ask why I couldn't order pizza in the app. My husband's food didn't come out, and he had to submit a request to fix it from the app. I guess I should be grateful that it was acknowledged, and his food finally came about 45 minutes after everyone else's. I used two different bathroom stalls before and after the movie, neither of which had any paper towels. We sat in the back row and a speaker behind us was super staticky the whole movie. And at the end, you're charged an 18% service fee (on a $15 wrap, which does not include a side, and a $7 Coke). Don't get me wrong, I was super in favor of a service fee when there were...you know...servers? Maybe the app developers get the 18% now. Sorry, Alamo, we had a great run. I know it's not the fault of the local Raleigh management, who I can only assume are doing their best to keep the magic alive in the face of all the corparate crap since Sony took over. Holler if you get rid of the app!
