Fun day with a group of girlfriends. Comfortable, clean reclining seats and delicious food. A little awkward to eat a salad in the dark, would opt for more traditional theater food next time!

It suffices to say that there are other AMC locations that will provide a much better experience than this one. I personally recommend 600 North Michigan or River East 21 as a close second.The AMC-B37 auditoriums are serviceable enough. The recliners are on the smaller side, and because of the shared space with the shopping center the screens are a little truncated as well. Still, I had no problems with the experience of viewing the film.Customer service was pretty bad. My dine-in server was beset by a terrible attitude. When I asked him what the ETA would be for my order, he stormed off, apparently angry at his support staff that did not deliver my concessions on time. No apology, no verbal explanation of what had gone wrong.I will not likely return again.

Its a nice place most of the time. You enjoy good service and good food while watching a movie. But Im removing two stars because today I was told when I arrived to the cinema that my movie was cancelled. Im a paid user, and AMC has all my data, but staff decided they would only let people know on arrival. So I basically I wasted time by going to the cinema, and did not get any sort of refund since I paid for my movie with tickets from my paid subscription

Always a great time here. First time grabbing drinks at the bar before a movie recently on Thanksgiving and loved the drinks and service. Nothing bad to say about this place.Getting food delivered to you. Especially that delicious burger. The best. Need to go to this AMC more often.

Nice theater. Just pricey. Which makes sense since each theater is pretty small. Great comfy reclining chairs. Food and drinks delivered to your seat.

Food was good seats super comfortable and environment but the waitress had attitude except one of the helper she was kind, also we paid for parking $17 the ticket machine was out of service, we need to go to another floor to pay our parking ticket. The exit bar was a half way up I don’t even know how my car go through but at the same time I don’t know why I paid $17 if the bar was a half way up? It was very late un the night and they didn’t have a security officer around for situations like this. Bad experience!

This is my go to theater. The servers go right to your seat and offer you some good options while you wait in some good seats to watch your movie. The seats are comfortable, while not fully reclining but it is a clean theater with a great bathroom as well. The seating is limited however, so be aware when making plans, but this is the theater I try to visit when watching movies

Review №15

This is the epitome of a movie going experience. Not only are the seats motorized recliners but you can also order food directly to your seat at any time during the movie. They also serve alcohol that can be delivered directly to your seat as well. They do have a no late entry rule as well so make sure that you plan ahead and get there on time.

Exactly what you would hope for from a dine-in movie theater. Good vibe, comfy seats, good service and all the newest movies. Would recommend

On the plus side, there are very comfortable recliner seats and the staff was very helpful. Its very handy to public transportation - the red line train is literally in the building. It is a bit pricey, even for upscale movie theatres.

Review №18

Block 37 is our go to Dine In Theater. Weve gone to a couple of other dine-in theaters in the city, but they dont compare to block 37. They have more food options and the food is actually just better at this location. You pay a few more dollars but it is worth it in the end. The seats are plush, the food is great, the theaters arent too large, allowing for a more intimate viewing experience, and you are right downtown. No complaints.

The waiters were extremely attentive. The food arrived quickly and it was delicious. The theater itself is very clean and we never have any problems. The food is bit pricey, but its worth it for the movie quality and food quality.

Review №21

My first time going to this movie theater was great but the second time was my last time there. The second time I went I was with a friend and her little sister, we bought our tickets with no problem. We had to wait about an hour for the movie so we left and came back. When we wanted to get in they asked for our ID’s when they saw we weren’t over 21 they didn’t let us in. Turns out you have to be 21 to get in since they sell alcohol, are the workers that stupid that they can’t see when a minor might be trying to buy alcohol??!!

Review №22

Do not go here if you want to get lost in a movie. Expect the constant distraction of hallway and exit sign lighting, wait staff walking buy, the smell of prepared food (like wings & pasta), and people constantly going to the bathroom. Not a traditional theater, its more like an extension of watching a movie in your living room. Might be for some, and good for casual movies, but definitely dont go here to see a movie you are excited about.

Ni
Review №23

The lights are too bright during movies, the screens are very small, and you can often hear other movies playing during yours. I gave it a try many times, and it just isnt worth it if you really value the movie going experience. The food and drinks and large reclining seats are nice, but you cant even buy a small popcorn and drink like normal.

Review №24

First favorite AMC theater in Downtown Chicago with dine-in experience and reclining seat! Another good thing, exactly in front of Block 37 building, there is a bus stop and in the back of this building, there is blue L line. Easy to access before and after movie!

Ca
Review №25

Its a fine establishment and has great reclining chairs and service throughout the movie. My issue with the venue (and I think this is due to the in-movie service) is that the lights are much too bright and remove you a bit from the hot medium that is a movie theater. While I like the amenities, I ultimately go to a theater to feel more enveloped than I would idly watching a movie on my television at home. Also, there were available seats in the center left unlisted on the website.

Al
Review №26

It was very nice and well kept. I love the fact that its got its own floor of the mall. I would have expected the seats to be a little nicer, I think a little swing out plastic tray is low quality for a luxury dine in movie experience but it was good.

Excellent accommodations and a wonderfully helpful staff. We saved a great deal on the purchase price for our tickets by signing up for the reward program too! If Im ever in Chi-town again, I know where Im heading to watch the next great film!

Who said the dine-in stopped in Bedrock? AMC Block 37 has recreated the imagery to perfection. There is a restaurant/bar perfect to meet your party in.The seats recline, which only adds to 3-D effects. In-between each set of seats are all the condiments you need, menus, and your call-service button. Slide out trays are attach to the arms of the chair so you dont have to worry about any spills. This is how you watch a movie in comfort.

Review №30

Movie theater is great and amazing quality. The recliners make a huge difference in experiencing a movie in comfortable seating. I cant really make any complaint about the movie theater at all. The food however, could use a bit of quality change specially for the price. So it I order a chicken tender for 17.99, I expect that to be very good. I cant justify the prices, just because they are feeding people inside a theatre, food should be more expensive. I bet if they had more reasonable prices, they would get more orders, its just how economy works. I also am giving them 4.5 stars but I cant choose that.

I absolutely love this theater. I prefer the smaller size with the concession delivery available to my seat. The only downside here is that the bartenders are not very knowledgeable with drinks. I ordered a Bloody Mary at my last visit and it was awful. The popcorn was not fresh and over salted so, there are definitely areas that could use improvements, especially when youre located in such a great location! The cons will not keep me away from this location but I would love for them to address these simple fixes to provide better quality to guests.

Everyone around us who ordered after us had their food while we had to get up and inquire about our food. The food was ok but cool. The seats were clean and comfortable. They also mistakenly gave us the wrong credit card.

Love this place. Every time I come here its always clean, the waitresses and waiters do their job well. Reclining seats, little table, menu right next to your seat your waitress takes your order before your movie starts. We come here all the time. Good food, good drinks, good service, and comfy.

Review №38

Great place. It doesn’t have the biggest screen, and the food menu isn’t really big. But at least the tastes are consistently good. It’s not perfect, but I definitely give it a 5 star. Edited: now I find their seats are bigger than N 600 Michigan, and their service feels more premium.

Review №39

Service quality depends on the amount of food you order. Please come to this theatre only if you are hungry and ready to watch a movie. If not be ready for the weird behavior and look from the service. I did not feel comfortable being a A-List customer there as they asked for an Id proof but not for the other guy behind me. Was my favorite for the past 2 years but not anymore. Poor service overall with food and experience.

Review №40

I ordered 2 drinks, a soda, and an entree. I went to the bathroom when I was halfway through my entree. When I came back, they had cleared my place, so half of a sandwich and my untouched tots(which I paid extra for) were gone. The bill was in its place, and had a smiley face on it. Everything else was fine - just dont leave food unattended! It was a big bummer.

Review №41

Went to see Joker and the movie itself was good and the theater was clean. Staff seemed friendly although we didnt order. Im giving a 4 star because after purchasing the tickets no one even scanned them or stopped us so we literally spend money that we didnt have to since no one was checking.

The food is good but I think they need more choices for the popcorn box sizes overall most of them that take your order and bring your food arel friendly and patience. I had a bad experience with one of the servers before, she was super mean which caused me not to wanted buy anything and I patronize this AMC very often on Tuesdays.

My Daughter and I visited on 11/2/2019 When we made our order I was asked to pay immediately. While the other patrons in our section got there checks at the end of the show. I felt that was because we are African American the other customers were white. Not cool

Great movie theater, dinner is always good and the theaters are big enough to not be too loud. Tickets are quite pricey, but the reclining chairs and in theater service makes it not too bad. Now if they could have blankets or lower the ac a little, it would be amazing.

Review №49

My favorite theater in the city. They always have all the showings I want to see. I enjoy the seats a lot, very spacious. This theater influenced me to get A-List membership, since the location is close to my job and convenient for me. Had to take away a star cus I’ve noticed the food go down in quality lately. Which was unfortunate. I also notice that when they get super busy, they’re too busy to stay attentive, so keep that in mind if you’re expecting good service on an opening night. You’re not gonna get it. But other than that it’s a nice place to catch a movie and some popcorn.

We love going to the AMC Block 37. They have good food and friendly service. The seats are LaZBoys and for the most part have been clean. The screens are clear and the sound is also great quality. The only complaint that I have is the theaters get quite warm. I wish they would turn the A/C on higher because it is difficult to relax in a leather recliner when you feel hot and stuffy.

Service was first class! Food was hot and fresh, I actually was amazing how fast it came out. The employees were very attentive .Both my wife and I had the fish and chips. I want to say I had about 6 Cod filets an okay amount of fries 2 yummy biscuits and some red coleslaw that was....okay (yes, I ate it) but continuing on.....The chairs recline and do everything you would want them to so not much to say there. Bye for now folks.

The theater was very clean and very well maintained. The waitstaff we had were all great as well. I used the button to get the attention of our waitress. She came right away. We did come during the afternoon, so it wasnt super busy. The seats were very comfortable and the tables were just the right size. I would come back here again. Note: we did not order any entrees, just popcorn and soda. So, I cannot review their food options. Although, the menu looked like they had a decent selection and the prices seems reasonable.

Went to the movies to see a movie and eat lunch. I hot a hamburger and fries, and a chicken sandwich and fries. My hamburger was good, but the frys were room temperature.

A very comfortable, convenient experience. But pretty pricey. Could just be movies downtown, in general. A $19 movie and $44 for mac n cheese, loaded tots and a brownie Sundae (split between 2). All of which were tasty! Esp the sundae. Decent portions.

I love coming here whenever I visit Chicago, which is a few times a year. The chairs are large, fully reclining, and comfortable. The staff is excellent, as is the service they provide. The food is really good, which many might find surprising coming from a movie theater. Tonight I had the fresh pretzel bites with two cheddar dips (forget the honey dijon), the bacon ranch burger (ranch and royal sauce on the side), and the brownie sundae. Id recommend any movie going person check this place out if youve never been to one before. The theaters are very small. The one I was in only seats 25.

Saw Halloween in October here and the overall experience was great so we came back last night. A complete 180 this time. Our burger came to us wrong. The 2nd time the burger was correct, but cold. The meat was completely overcooked and flavorless. We ordered well done fries and those were wrong both times. Got tired of the slow service so we powered through the overpriced $17 meal. Then we wanted refills on our waters and it took a visit from a manager and a waitress 30 minutes to bring us WATER! And we were right across from the kitchen! Needless to say, a utterly horrible experience this time around. Not sure well be back. Very disappointed

Decent theater but had a not so great experience with the food order. Ordered buffalo wings, got chicken tenders and absolutely no kind of sauce. Then we ask if these were buffalo wings, they said no, they were out of buffalo, and the. Also offered to bring us the sauces that should come with the standard order. We were super confused. They essentially told us take it or leave it. We got a refund but it couldve been handled significantly better.

I dislike having to not only wait for a server to order popcorn, but also the expectation that I will tip on popcorn when it is already very expensive and frankly overpriced. Also, this theater does not do a good job of ensuring guests remain quiet. When I saw Shazam, someone blasted trap music on their phone for the entire third act, and no employees bothered to ask them to turn it off.

Very clean theaters and smaller crowd for a better viewing experience. Reclining chairs with moveable food tray is great. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable.

First time at AMC Dine-In Style. Was late 10 minutes for my 10:30 show. But they still let me in. Ended up being the only person with three staff members. Seats are comfy and lay basically flat. I ordered a bear $6 and southwest chicken $13. I wanted sushi but no rice and this was their other Asian alternative. portion was good and food tasted good. Staff were nice too. My only issue was finding a way into the theater after malls closing hour. Very confusing. took me like 10 minutes. And exiting the theater. Circled the entire theater, to then be told to use the EXIT ONLY door.
