alamo drafthouse cinema

They have very strict no cell phone use , no talking etc policys and their design is better for servers no disturbing other patrons like they do in other similar types of these cinemas. Bottomless popcorn and soft drinks are a much better deal than their competitors. Well run and their strict policies will keep me coming back.

We love going to Alamo. We buy Groupons every time they become available. My husband's favorite thing is the bottomless popcorn. I love the quest with avocado, chorizo, and tomato. I also live the warm cookies The service is hit or miss. We have had more than one experience when we felt abandoned. Our positive experiences outweigh the bad ones though.

You have to go to Alamo Drafthouse. Even if you've been to studio movie grill or somewhere else and you didn't like it.... this is WAY better. I've been going to the Austin locations for years, so I was really excited to see one pop up near me in Richardson. It is a whole different experience. The menu selection is huge, and the food is actually very tasty and fresh. The drinks are great too. And they have it set up so that there is no talking and nobody walking in front of you constantly. They have perfected the concept of dinner and a movie.

Book your tickets in advance to take advantage of the assigned seating.Arrive early to watch the custom preshows that they make for the big movies. Food and drinks are great and reasonabley priced. Weve been to two Alamo locations and always have a blast.

Not many places serve this quality food in a movie theater. The folks at Alamo definitely do a great job with the food. But that is not the best part. Take a look at their beer selection and you will be blown.

This was our first visit. There were 4 adults and 1 child (age 3). I reserved my tickets online for the noon showing of penguins of Madagascar. Once we arrived at the theater, we were greeted immediately and received our tickets. The girl did a quick overview of how it worked and the rules. Once in the theater, which was very clean, our awesome waitress greeted us and showed us the ordering process. All the food we ordered was great, slightly pricey- but that is expected when going to the movies. Our food came quickly, drinks refilled when requested and ticket arrived before the credits. I look forward to returning on a date night, as I love the idea of kid free movies in the evening :)

Alamo Drafthouse. Several reasons I see it as the quintessential move-going experience. First, they have the major current movies showing, but they also consistently show old movies, classics, having sing/quote-alongs, and have comedy events where comedians make fun of certain movies. Furthermore, during certain premieres, Alamo goes the extra mile with decoration, photo-opps, etc. Showing up early is a treat as they will have various related cartoons, videos, and old commercials playing. Their food selections and quality are impressive for an in-theater experience. Adult-milkshakes are excellent, and they even serve a local coffee brew. Excellent.

Was in town for business and had the chance to travel with my wife for a change. Decided to check out the Alamo for the "Action Pack: Elf Quote-Along". Glad we did. You can read about the event on the web page. The entertainment before the movie was enjoyable and put the crowd in the right frame of mind to participate during the movie. Screen/picture quality wasn't as good as other theaters but we weren't there for that. The food and beverage service was prompt and the food/drink menu was quite varied. We ordered wings and a hot dog dish that were good, not great. I don't care for breaded buffalo wings, but that's just me. The drinks were tasty although a bit pricey. Not horribly so but don't expect cheap drinks. It was the fun atmosphere that made the visit worthwhile. The employees we talked with at the theatre before and while at the venue were friendly and helpful. We'd go back. Especially for one of the Action Pack events. Worth a try if you haven't been. Be aware that it was almost sold out on a Thursday night. I strongly recommend buying tickets in advance.

Food served to you while watching a movie...what more can one ask for. They also have a no cell phone policy which is nice. Movie for two, medium sized pizza, pitcher of beer and chips w/ queso...came to about 60 dollars.

Pros:1) Fun environment2) Good and wheelchair accessible seating, accessible entrance3) Clean restrooms4) Food & Beverage service as you watch the show5) Reasonable pricingCons:1) I have to try another movie to comment but I felt the picture quality not so great as in the Cinemark theatres

Not what I expected. Alamo is a food and movie concept that really works.The atmosphere is like a old downtown theater from when i was young. Dark, good seats, table service, a mostly snack menu with beer and wine.They specialize in old period movies and its great watching them on the big screen.We will be back, they also have a nice sports type bar that is very comfortable.

This place is so friendly, good movies, great bar, and food is pretty good for a movie place. We have been several times and have enjoyed each moment.

We went and saw a movie in the afternoon and had a great experience. The service was good, the seating was comfortable, the food was tasty and there is a great selection of beer.

Love the Alamo in the afternoon; not too crowded. The movie was good (The Butler), and the snacks were very good. Their popcorn is better than most, and free if I remember right. Not as comfy as I-Pic but not as tight as Studio Grill on Spring Valley.

What a great way to watch a movie. It was the 30th anniversary of Ghost Busters and the place was sold out. They played commercials from the 80's that were hilarious. Write down your drink and food order and they pick up the card and deliver it very quickly. Great fun!
