It's a super clean nice theater, but what i really loved was the attitude of every worker! Usually I like to single out a person but literally every encounter was amazing. The employees here are so happy and helpful. The attitude of someone that makes a million dollars an hour. I bet management is pretty amazing to have a great team like that! This was already my go to theater but if it wasn't already it would be now!

We came to see Masters fo the Universe today and I left during the movie to get another beer and the clerk lady continued to have her conversation with a boy when I asked another clerk to help me. The radio was sitting on the counter and I could hear the staff trying to get someone to the bar for service but it didn't happen for over 6 minutes. I missed parts of my movie because Betts or Petts (her name tag was stylized and hard tobread) but a red headed, short haired lady who preferred to chat with a prospective boyfriend than to serve customers. The woman whose place she was covering from break returned to complete our order. Thank you to her because I don't think I would have been served if not.

Honestly has gone downhill so hard. So many staff members sitting around talking and doing nothing while only 1 person is behind concessions and they only have 1 person who can work the front counter with drinks and some of the other options. So when they go on break at 5pm right when people starting wanting to get drinks for their movie no one can help because some BS that only 1 person can do it. Why is there 5 employees doing nothing but 1 person behind the counter and none for drinks. Management is lazy and has no idea how to staff a place...and the lazy attitude rolls down to the employees. I used to love this theater but I think im going to start going somewhere else. Theaters are also only partially cleaned. So much shoved under seats and sticky surfaces. I guess the bathrooms are clean at least.

Parking was easy, a short walk from the theater. Concessions staff were all very friendly. Seating was well marked and the reclining seats were comfortable. I glad I took a jacket the theater was cool. All in all it was a memorable experience!

I had an 8 year old's birthday party here, with about 15 kids coming. Party room for an hour for $50 and then a regular showing of Hoppers. I had no idea what I would do with the kids for the hour, but turns out my concerns were misplaced - kids loved just running around the theatre, etc., and did not really have to be entertained at all. Combo Floor is lava/tag youre it was all they needed and wanted; I think they thought it really cool to be able to just run around in the auditorium. Great deals on the concessions and we had a wonderful party host. Great time, great value. Some constructive criticism generally, which I think relates to how the movie theatre chain does their thing, and not related to our theatre itself (which gets the 5 stars): I booked up about a month in advance, but they can't tell for sure what movies will be playing and at what exact times when you book (and send out invites). I understand why. But I wish there was an option to also add your movie, or at least a promise of "a" recently-released age-appropriate movie at the time you book the party, because of the extra stress of worrying about whether a movie will start right afterwards or what time (and what time to tell the parents to come get their kids afterwards), but the location manager said shed get us an 11 am showing of Hoppers - and that is exactly what she did, no problem. But I still did not know for sure it would be right at 11 am until the week of the party. Also would be cool to have a private showing so the kids could move around and be a little more rowdy during the movie if they wanted to do so (without the cost of a full, private showing at 10 or 11 am when not many people are there otherwise; there were only a couple of other people in our 11 am showing, and another one that started 20 minutes afterwards; they could have funneled the people in our showing to the 11:20 and I would have been happy to pay some extra money for that - not the amount to book the whole theatre, but the place could have gotten a few extra bucks and still had happy (two) non-party customers, I think), but that's OK, too. Would have probably been a really cool experience for the kids, but maybe a little logistically difficult. But as to the location, our people and our experience: A+. the manager and staff were awesome, they created a wonderful time and the kids had a blast. The theatre is great, lots of room. I would 100% do this again, at this location. My son thought it one of the best birthday parties he has had or been to. Thanks to Sarah and crew!
