Fantastic movie theater where you can watch a film and your fellow patrons actually have to be quiet.

My favorite cinema because they have rules against talking and mobile phone usage. And the food is decent.

Before the pandemic, I used to come here once a week and rarely had any complaints. I enjoy their chips and queso, Buffalo cauliflower, any of the burgers, and the fried chicken sandwich. The last two times I have been over the past two months or so have been a let down.

Each time my bill has been wrong, something wrong with my food and one of my favorite things to get, cookies a La mode, they’ve been out of ice cream both times. I think they changed the sauce on the Buffalo cauliflower as well, it was more of a vinegary hot sauce vs a Buffalo sauce.

I want to keep coming back and enjoying the food, but it’s hard to shell out $60 (on top of admission) each time with all the difficulties recently.

Went with my friend and would totally go again. Only one thing though, me and my friend were waiting for our soda drink refill for a long time. Then they brought mine over but forgot hers till almost the end. Other than that I enjoyed my time and it was a nice experience. The food was decent. I had the soft pretzel with queso, soda, a cheese burger with fries and a cookie shake. The cookie shake was alright. Wasn't bad, I just had a hard time getting it out through the straw. Maybe it wasn't blended good enough.

This movie theater is great mostly because I like having a drink with my movie. The food options are pretty good. They have vegan/vegetarian options like vegan pizza. Before the pandemic the service was great however post pandemic, I have notice service declining. This is mostly due to staffing issues I think because the staff I did encounter were helpful when they were available. Overall, I still like this place to see movies just need to step up the staffing/service.

Best pre show in any theater. Good service and seats. Always happy to drink and watch a movie without getting up.

That Royale with cheese was the most delicious burger that I've ever had at any restaurant. I wasn't expecting it to be that good, but wow. It's a shame it was dark in the theater because I wanted to get a nice view of it, but then again, thank goodness it was dark in the theater because I made sweet love to it and would've been arrested. If I lived in New York, this would be my go to theater.

Excellent theater for the first time going, compliments to the chef the monster burger was great plus my frozen margarita. The only 2 things not so good the sound levels is way high for a small theater and movie quality not so HD. But I did enjoy everything else.

Would have been great if I was able to see the movie. Side note: if you get there even a few minutes late, you loose your seats. (They refund you)

I absolutely love this place. I love how they don’t give anyone a straw for a no-straw-slurping, quiet theatre space. I wish there were more spots open for Beetlejuice next week. LAMB was real good. Had a lot from the menu here… I recommend anything with the cheese sauce and the fried chicken sandwich.

The ball was dropped today, big time. I've been coming to this alamo for a few years and love it. You guys really brought the movie experience to the top.

Today, not sure if your server was inexperienced or what, but my order didn't come in until almost near the end of the film. At that point it felt like I needed to rush through the meal which I didnt want to do. I wanted to focus on the movie which the mood was already soured since I wasn't sure what was going on and why it took so long.

I speculate that the order was forgot to be put in. I raised an order card asking for the ETA and it took another 35-40 min for it to arrive. We received the order after the checks already started coming which caused more confusion and frustration.

I know for some this might seem like whining but the food is apart of the experience and when I have to stop thinking about the movie to worry about this. The vibe is killed. I also choose to have my first meal here so that takes away because I am now hungry and annoyed.

Mistakes happen, but please try to rectify it sooner rather than later and keep your staff up to date on how to avoid these mistakes in the future and heck, just throw in an apology next time for the mistake. That goes a long way.

Well i'm a visitor. Reason I give 5 stars is the policy of vaccination. No card no entry. Problematic when your have been vaccinated no proof at that moment. Wish I known before i made the trip. Oh well anything became a out door adventure.

Beautiful location and Theatre.
It's located in a mall.
The waiters were kind and patient.
The seats and tables were clean and comfortable. My order was received in a timely fashion. I had the monster burger, it was delicious. The burger comes with a side of fries absolutely delicious.
My only concern was the lighting before show time. It was quit difficult to see the numbers on the chairs for seating and it was also difficult to see the menu.
Overall I had a wonderful visit with the Alamo Theater. I highly recommend.

Absolutely LOVE IT! I've been here a few times and it's definitely worth the experience. If you want a similar experience to iPic but don't want to pay $120+ dollars for the experience COME HERE! I promise you it's worth it and FAR MORE CHEAPER. Food is delicious, some of the burgers needs a little salt but still tasty. Drinks are freshing not too strong, I prefer it too be a little stronger but nonetheless I still enjoy EVERYTHING!

We sat in the front row to try out the recliner, it was great! Arabic movie posters in the hallways were extra special

It's was nice. Tables with servers
Choices of food
The young lady was awesome
Popcorn was ok
Fries great
My son didn't care for chicken sandwich
I had vegan chocolate chip cookies which I enjoyed. 3 stars only because after being seated in our assigned seats I had to again search for tickets to show hostess.

I loved this place pre-COVID and I know they’re gonna put this whole bankruptcy era behind them in short order, but my expectations are so high that it really stood out when the food was severely delayed and/or didn’t show up at all without a reminder and both urinals out of order! Still can’t wait to go back. The Bavarian pretzel pizza was insane get it while it lasts.

Best theater around, more of an experience than a movie viewing. You get waiter service to your table with excellent choices of food and drink. Not to mention free refills on popcorn and soda. Definitely recommend for a date night. Also recommend the Buffalo cauliflower bites. By tickets in advance because they sell out fast.
