This place has Recliner seats and serves wine, which is great. Cleanliness is okay. They do military discount which is appreciated! 4 stars though because I highly recommend you bring a blanket or several layers, its almost as cold as the tundras outside.

I tried calling the theater several times, but no one answered which is why Im leaving a review. I went to see Tenant last night at 8 pm. The theater is clean, and staff are following great Covid19 regulations. However, Im frustrated with people not adhering to their reserved seats. My brother and I reserved D7 and D6. We came in and saw a couple in our seats. They looked guilty and told us their recliners didnt work. It bothered us, but we didnt want those seats since we are trying to limit our interactions with people. We took the row behind them. A family of 4 then said we took their seats. We had to ask the couple to give up our seats as we didnt want this to happen again. This could have potentially increased our exposure to COVID19 from the selfish couple. I tried calling the theater to provide them with the recommendation of reminding people to sit in their reserved seats to not cause this butterfly effect of potential contamination and interaction with others.

This theatre is great. Convenient to D.C., parking is easy in the free garage a block away, seats are comfortable, aisles are wide. I wish show times were released further in advance. There needs to be more sound deadening between theatres. Nothing like watching Little Women, with Bad Boys or 1917 explosions being heard.

This is a great place for a date night. You can enjoy all of the many restaurants nearby and then see a movie. This theater offers the comfortable reclining seats but it is a smaller theater so each of the halls are pretty small, which can be a nice thing. It was recently renovated so its quite new. parking can be a bit difficult as this is a popular place, although there are garages nearby they are often full. And the county of Arlington makes sure that you pay for street parking practically all the time.

I’ve been to this movie theater a few times and love the friendly service, quaint atmosphere, convenient location, and free parking. Unfortunately a few weeks ago I saw a little furry guy running under the seats. I originally blew it off thinking it must just be the corner theater which is close to the emergency exit that leads outside. However, I went again this past weekend and once again noticed more mice. It’s such a bummer because I really like everything else about this theater. But it’s hard to truly relax and enjoy a movie sitting in the dark when I know that there are mice running around beneath me. I really wish they would solve this problem. But until then I’m not sure I’ll be back...

Kids and I love it here. One of the smallest theaters weve been to, but so quaint! We enjoy it there and how personable it is. Staff is nice, place is managed well, but they could upkeep the cleanliness of the drink stations a little better.

Comfy seats that you can book ahead of time. Its a bit chilly so bring a light sweater or a scarf. Its in a perfect location across from several diverse bars. Excellent place to take a date.

Got to the theatre in time and went up to buy a ticket for little women and was told they were sold out. Asked about 2 other movies and the staff told me they were sold out as well without checking. Went back to car and saw that seats were available on the amc website. Very poor service!!! Won’t bother taking the trouble next time. Plenty of other theatres that care more about customer’s business.

^_^ BuleStory review for AMC Shirlington 7 The service is good, the food was pretty good, the price was AWESOME if you are sign up as a member of AMC A List (this is definitely worth to try if you are movie lovers) but if you are not a member then, for the tickets usually about $30 for two people. But if you go here on tuesday you might get the $5 movie ticket offer

Very comfortable reclining seats, good food options including healthier snack options. Pretzel bites were tasty and I didnt feel particularly ripped off for the price, which is really all you can ask for in any movie theater.

Review №19

I was thoroughly enjoying the newly released Starwars until I saw a furry friend running past my feet and underneath a few chairs. Later in route to the bathroom, I saw another one scurrying towards the door. Made it a bit uncomfortable to sit there and enjoy the rest of the movie. The manager was nice enough to give me a refund, but the real issue is the mice. It probably doesnt help that this theater is surrounded by a number of restaurants and people who buy popcorn cant keep it off the floor.

One of my favorite places to see movies in the area. They used to do more indie films though

Review №21

The screens are pretty small and dont extend from wall to wall. Bathrooms get pretty dirty. What makes the theater worth going to is the fact that all screens have recliner seats and plenty of room between rows, and that the theater plays a lot of independent movies. Sometimes though it is only playing wide release movies and in those times I wouldnt bother going because the screens are too small.

Review №25

The staff is very helpful and courteous. The theaters are clean and the lounge chairs very comfortable. The bathrooms are proper as well. The only issue was they played the wrong movie. However as soon as the staff was informed they corrected the situation by playing the intended movie. The soda machines are by the entrance and in the middle of the hall used to access the theaters. I found the placing and configuration of these machines rather uncomfortable for the customer.

Review №28

Great moving watching experience! Make sure that you reserve well enough in advance so that you can get a good seat.I still havent quite gotten used to the idea of laying down in a chair next to strangers in the movie theater, but if thats your jam, then youll love this place.The staff is also super helpful and friendly. We had bought tickets ahead of time and my friend was late, so I wrote his name on the back of the ticket and left it with the staff at the front. They were extremely courteous and accommodating.

Review №31

The theatre is smallish, the individual screening rooms are small and intimate. We watched a movie in theatre 2 which is one of the smaller rooms, it has 6 rows. The seats are assigned when you purchase your ticket and are very comfortable. They recline back as well as they have leg rests that can be lifted. A tall person would be comfortable with the seat fully reclined. Staff is friendly, bathrooms are clean. Just an FYI for individuals with peanut allergies, they do have an option for peanut topping on popcorn as well as sell peanut products so walk with wipes to clean your seat.

Review №33

The theater was about 50 degrees. I guess I could have complained while I was there but i was with my family including two young kids.I live about 20 min away.The staff did not care when I said how cold it was.I called when I got home and spoke with Nicole the manager. She offered free movie tickets. But she cannot mail or email them. No refunds. And they can only do the movie passes same-day so now it’s rush hour.So now I have t drive back 20 min (or more)each way.If they had offered the tickets when I initially complained that would have solved everything.Awful customer service.

My husband and I are AMC A-List members so we visit an AMC each time we take a trip. This was the best AMC theater we have been to. Our phone app wasnt working properly. No worries. We were able to use pull up our account on screens right at the register. Friendly helpful staff. We definitely need an AMC with reserved seating and recliners in Mobile, AL. Highly recommend this place.

Best theater in the area with big, comfortable, reclining seats. All seats reserved and adult beverages to boot. The only negative is that parking can sometimes be a challenge.

Review №39

Although they have fewer shows because of their size, their reclining seats are quite nice. There are no bad seats in the theaters! The line for the concessions is often slow because they only have 1 or 2 people total working the registers and food prep. If you are an AMC Stubs Premiere Member, take advantage of the membership line and Discount Tuesday tickets at this theater. Reclining seat tickets for $6 on Tuesdays are an awesome deal!

I went to go get snacks before movie starts tonight and my girlfriend runs out and says we have to leave I say why. She says there is a rat crawling across the seats. So we go to the front and say something to the young lady, and she was very kind, gave our money back and 2 vouchers to see any movie at any AMC. Will not be this amc though. They are truly understaffed. Only 3 employees through the whole movie theater. Please for the sake of costumers take care of the rat problem. I wish I got my money back for the food I just purchased as she was running out to tell me we had to leave.

The staff on Sunday afternoon were unfriendly. Three employees just standing behind the self-service ticket counter were running their mouths. One of the self-service machines was out of paper. The woman at the concession stand did not say one word and scratched at her scalp a lot. She also handed out the drink cups with her dirty fingers inside the rim.

This is a smaller theater so they dont have as many movies going but so have more indie showings. A big plus for me is the reclining seats. Although I found them slightly uncomfortable.Bathrooms have these cute stickers everywhere too.If you get there too early, you may not have anywhere to sit and wait so be congnizant of that. Overall though, this is am AMC location I like to go to

Very comfortable seats that recline. Great deals for Tues showtimes ($5) if you join their AMC members club at no charge. Only complaint is the volume. Really loud. I will bring earplugs my next visit. Great location for a movie/dinner date night. Free parking everywhere after 5 pm.

Review №48

I go to this theater every so often, not because its my preference but because of geographical convenience. The parking is never really good as the lot always seems full forcing me to park much further away, but that really isnt the fault of the movie theater. The inside is nice enough, a bit on the smaller side, and the food is consistently mediocre. Last time I was there it took me 15 minutes to get an order of chicken tenders. The staff wouldnt call out orders by ticket number, but rather shouting out the food item itself, this makes it hard to tell whose order is up. The Popcorn also tastes stale, which is just the result of someone not caring enough to making a fresh batch when needed. My biggest gripe is the staff seems to be complacent and doesnt really put much effort into the job. It shows and it takes away from the experience.

Review №49

I have 3 words to say: MOTORIZED ADJUSTABLE RECLINERS! I saw Avengers Endgame in 3D here. We had assigned seats so no jockeying for them. They were comfy for the entire 3 hours. Good sound system. Not painfully loud like some establishments, but enough to let you experience some measure of the impacts shown on screen. So immersive that it was jarring when we had a momentary neighborhood power failure. I will revisit this place time and time again. MOTORIZED ADJUSTABLE RECLINERS!!!

Review №53

Been going to this theater for 3+ years.Its my favorite one in the area as it is in a dog-friendly area with plenty of restaurants and stores.Recliners are great. Reserved seating is great.The movie theater actually thought out how to level the seats so peoples giant heads do not block half the screen.The sound doesnt make me more deaf than I already am.Its a small location.Only issue Ive ever had here is an employee burnt popcorn and the fire alarm went off...conveniently when the lantern tips over and catches fire in the movie I was seeing, A Quiet Place. Had to get refunded in the form of a voucher and come back.I think Ive seen a mouse here once, but it was like two years ago. Squeakers like movies too.Park in the Randolph Square Parking Garage when you come here. Its free. Sh#t...the secret is out.Best AMC for A-List members locally.

Comfortable chairs you can lie on, eating your giant sized popcorn and watching a movie. Always a pleasant experience going to AMC Shirlington. Plus when u step out after the movie there are several nice restaurants and a Harris Teeter for some grocery shopping before going home.

Ordered tickets online and presented tickets on phone. Theaters were small with large reclining chairs. Spirits available. Free parking lot across from AMC. Many restaurants in the area. Shirlington exit off 395 puts you right at AMC. Staff were friendly, talkative and great salesman for the A List program. Im premium Stubb, going A list. Its worth it.

Review №66

This theater has really comfortable reclined and reserved seating. The really great thing about how their theater is set up is that there is not a bad seat to watch the movie from. You can sit in the very front or back and be able to comfortably watch the movie. They also have a bar that serves beer and wine and the bar staff are always very quick and friendly.Where it lost a star:I would recommend not ordering food from here unless you are just getting popcorn or candy. I have tried to order food 2 different times and both times the fries alone took at least 20 minutes. I dont know if its their system that is at fault or lack of training for the staff, but it ruins the entire experience.

Review №75

I used to go to Shirlington AMC quite a lot, but I don’t go anymore. Last year (September) when I was there at a movie, I was sitting in the last row. Ten minutes into the movie, 2 mice ran across my feet! I jumped up and ran out. When I told the manager he apologized and said they would call pest control. Only after I asked, did he refund my money. I have never returned to the theater. But they must still have a problem there because a couple of weeks ago, when I drove by, there was a Pest Control van out front of the theater.

Review №76

Im an AMC Stubs member and AMC is a good chain, but Shillington has gone downhill. The sound insulation between theaters is bad and you can hear the action movies from the bathrooms, hallways and in whatever movie youre trying to watch. Ive told the staff, but the staff at this particular AMC just doesnt care. For arthouse movies, go to Fair City, Landmark or Angelika. AMC doesnt care about giving independent films a decent venue currently.

We love this theater! The theaters are pretty small, so it never feels too crowded. The seats are super comfortable & its just an all-around great movie-going experience. I do recommend getting your tickets online ahead of time to get seats you want. The small theaters mean that its tough to get several seats together if you buy the tickets at the theater right before show time.

Great neighborhood, but the theater itself feels like it was just thrown into an empty warehouse. Hardly any room to buy tickets, get concessions and move about. I could hear the movie next door over my movie. Been to much more spacious, open, more comfortable theaters in the area. Might be back for a restaurant, but not for this theater.

A ticket provider at this theatre ask me and I quote.. If anyone has ever told me I look like Whoopi Goldberg...i love Whoopi, but we do not look alike. I mentioned it to the manager. I felt uncomfortable because her job is to sell movie tickets for AMC not to inform black people who they look like and yes she was white... ..will never return to that AMC...

There are mice running all over the theatre. The first two movies i saw there, i could see mice running under the seats during the movie. I told management and they said they would take care of it. I went back today and i saw another mice in my movie and when i walked out the theatre I saw another mouse running past the concession stand. This is a nice theatre but management has not done anything to get rid of the mice problem.

I am so tempted to give this theater one star because I don’t want it to get too popular, but that’s just wrong. I live about a mile from this theater, and it is super convenient. The prices are high, but that’s every single theater nowadays, so I can’t really knock them for that. It’s like gas stations. I can gripe about the prices, but it’s not typically the fault of that particular location. Anyway, good theater, friendly staff, and it’s not usually crowded.
