This is a first-rate, high-quality movie theater. The concessions and food are excellent, with an efficient staff that delivers food orders to you at your seat. In the new reality of Covid19, some changes have been made, such as seat distribution to allow for social distancing a d online ordering of food prior to arrival (food is served in pre-prepared packaging). Still, the venues offer large, high-quality screens and excellent sound systems. Highly recommended!

Practiced social distancing but saw a movie. We attended Casablanca. The mozzarella cheese sticks were delicious. Especially with the beer!

I loved this unique place. It is a theater, restuarant and draft house all in one. Watch a movie, eat lunch or dinner and have a brew. Countless special brews in their selection. A muct visit.Camp Gladiator of Corpus Christi works out there in the parking lot at 5:30 AM. This is how I found this great place.

It seems like it was cool before covid but now there’s a ton of procedures to follow and there aren’t a bunch of options for food or drinks anymore. I appreciate that they are taking covid seriously but it’s just not working. If I was that worried I’d just watch a movie at home. Wasn’t a very good experience. You can tell that other people are thinking the same since the parking lot was pretty empty.

Nice service, good food a little on the pricey side but its definitely worth it! The staff is very spirited and the theatres are a good size with fun commercials/ mini shows before every movie.

I used to love coming here. I understand the need for safety but we had to leave because we hadnt pre purchased our tickets or our snacks!!!

Be prepared to have a gun shaped object pointed at your forehead. If you object and ask them to point it elsewhere you will be verbally assaulted and denied entry. When expressing my concern with the manager she was belligerent and adamant that pointing a gun shaped object at my head was the only way for her to keep the two other people who had prepurchased seats in a large theater safe. We won’t be back. You’d think they’d treat the few customers they have with more respect.

Went to see a movie during Covid-19 times. We were the only ones there. The food is still good, and it came in individual boxes. I felt the prices went up a bit and portions slightly down. Certainly true for the $8 milkshake that came in a small cup. The food and drink selection is minimal which is sad. Hopefully they will be back to normal soon, and at time Ill adjust my review.

Excellent food, not just for a movie theater but to take home! Awesome idea being able to eat and drink alcohol while watching.

Food was dried out like it had been sat under a heat lamp. Plus once you order, you cant order more. They closed my tab after our appetizers. Said i couldnt get anything but drink refills. Wouldnt recomend at all!

Overall a good place and the movie sound rivals most anything out there. Service was good. Theater seating is comfortable. They need to update seating chart online to match theaters actual seating arrangement. Mens room was not clean, 1 of 2 faucets worked, 1 of 3 urinals out of order. Im not real picky but would have given 4 stars if restroom situation was better.

I used to love Alamo and visit frequently. For a family of five we would spend a lot of money to see a movie and eat. Now they changed their age policy for rated R movies and I can’t see most movies because I want to take my children. How are you going to tell me what my child can see and cannot see? I know my children and when it comes to scary movies I leave one at home because he cannot handle scary movies, but my other two love them. I make my own judgement off of the movies content. Now I go to the other theaters that allow me as a parent to make those decisions. I get the under 13 policy for late night movie times, but to ban it completely is ridiculous. I guess I will not be visiting this facility too often.

First time at a Alamo theater and I was impressed. The service is good the seats are comfortable with plenty of room but I think the best part is the food. I am use to popcorn and soda at theater but this has a big selection that changes dependent on the film viewing at that time of visit. The food is really good and you can tell that it is made with care. There is a large drink menu and great bar as you enter, be sure to come early.

First time here. I was impressed. Liked how you take your seats and someone comes to take your order. Only issue I had was theater 4 lighting didnt work well before the movie started and it was hard to see.

I love this place and cant wait for it to reopen after this virus is over. I recommend the grilled chicken mushroom sandwich, or if watching a movie in the morning order the French toast brulee.

Review №20

Fun place to watch a movie and enjoy food and drinks! My biggest complaint would be how they seating chart is arranged when you purchase tickets online...for some reason you think you pick two seats at one table, and when you get there you find out that you arent even sharing a table with your companion, so its a little awkward. The food and drinks are delicious.Update: service has improved tremendously! They now open a tab at the beginning so you are able to order as you please, without feeling rushed to get everything in one go before barely getting into the movie. Makes the whole process much smoother.

Review №21

Alamo is still our go-to movie theater, but this one lacks some of the normal luster. May just be because theyre new. Smaller overall, with somewhat higher prices. Individual recliners for seats - good to spread out strangers, but harder to hold hands with a spouse. Dont miss the movie-specific clips that start when the doors open!

Best movie experience money can buy. Samantha is the best host. Within the minute I placed down a order card she was on it. This is the only place I go and watch a movie. The table seats two so I recommend bringing a date. From snacks to full meals. They got you covered on the beer and wine too. Also mixed and specialty drinks.

Review №23

We will never go back to this place. John the Manager is very unprofessional with a big chip on his shoulder. After asking a question about why they were playing commercials in a language we did not understand and we also inquired about our movie not starting on time, We were asked to leave and we were told that we had no right to Inquire about their commercials after having paid our money. He did not refund our money back and stated thatwe broke the code of conduct by asking questions.

Always a great experience! My boyfriend and I always come here on date night. Tonight the manager informed us the A/C was out and gave us options! Amazing service! We truly appreciate it! We were able to watch a different movie and still enjoy our night! Highly recommend!

COVID UPDATE: THEYRE BACK! THEYRE BADA**!So, the experience is modified and still the greatest way to watch a movie. You preorder now online. YOU CANNOT ORDER ANYTHING IN THE THEATER! To avoid taking payment in theater and reduce interaction, food and beverages are all ordered ahead of time. Refills on soda and water are free and brought to you on request as before.No more pints, no more bowls. It is all sealed cans and bottles, boxes and containers. Beer is brought in a bucket of ice! Upside, its all already packed if you want to take the rest of your popcorn or pizza to go. Also, remember, you can take leftover beer HOME now? So order what you think youll want. Carnivore pizza even better than before. Popcorn as great as always. Service as friendly as ever. So great to see big screen movies again done right. Presentation and sound on point as ever.The Drafthouse is consistently my favorite place to see a movie in CC. They care about presentation and keep things about the movie. Oh and food and drinks rock as well!

I absolutely love this place!!! The staff and service are top notch. ...we ordered off the menu and the food they serve there is restaurant quality! They serve alcohol...wine, cocktails, mixed drinks, and beer also ! We were happy with the whole experience...this is like a movie theatre but think of it as upscaled! Ticket prices are not bad @$11.00, but if you plan to order food and drinks beside popcorn and regular things that you would get @ a concession stand make sure you bring a good amount of money as if you were going to a restaurant! All and all we were very satisfied with everything!

If it had 0 stars I would give it a 0! We purchased tickets on my Fandango app for Jumanji. We were excited to go! We showed up at the Theater and the lady said there is a policy of 6 and up. My daughter is 4 and they would not seat us. It is PG movies which is parental guidance to me. We are her parents and where fine if she watched it. My daughter started crying and just ruined her day. We where so looking forward to watching the movie and enjoying family time with my family. But it was ruined by that ridiculous policy!! I understand but for a kids movie to kick a kid out is terrible!!!!

I am not big on movie theaters, however, the pizzas are good,and the truffle popcorn is delicious. Excellent wait staff. Drinks are a little pricey.

Review №35

Food was not that great. Ordered Chicken tenders that were hard, asked for honey mustard to dip and they gave me regular mustard, ketchup container was about half filled and it was all over side of container (when its dark you dont want to grab your ketchup container and end up with it all over your fingers!). Stick to the popcorn...

Had a great time! We bought tickets for a family night out. We got to Alamo and their policy does not allow children into R movies. We didnt argue with policy but stepped aside to make a plan. A manager took an adult and the child and invited them to see the kids movie currently playing. The rest of us saw the scary one. FANTASTIC customer service. Thank you Alamo Drafthouse! We had a great time.

Review №43

This place is ok. I like to see what Im eating and the seats are so close to each other. I like my space and at the last movie, which was packed, I sat uncomfortably because I was nearly on top of the person next to me. My fiancee and I had to figure out how to cross our arms and take turns eating so that we wouldnt disturb our neighbors. Aside from that the food is good. I wish they had more non spicy dishes too.

Ive been here multiple times but this one unfortunately stands out because our waiter/server seemed to be ignoring us. If it wasnt for a different person we never would have gotten a refill on our drinks. Will still go back but Ill be hesitant and hopeful that I dont get the same guy.

Ive only tried their crunchy beef tacos and the fish and chips, but both plates were hot and fresh, and were very tasty! Ive also had the chocolate chip cookie shake and boy it is out of this world and worth every penny. The staff at this location is also very friendly and helpful, and Ive had only positive things happen here and it has been quite pleasant. Thank you Alamo Drafthouse, for coming to Corpus! :)

Review №48

Reserved tickets online prior to the showing; I showed up 10 minutes after the movie was scheduled to play. They told me I couldn’t see that showing because it had already started. Me and my girlfriend had the very top row seats and only payed 16$. They changed us to the next showing at 6:15 and then charged me an extra 7$. Just to be seated 4 rows below the one I had already bought. I DON’T appreciate being downgrading and up charged. I go to Century 16 and have been even later and still got to see my movie. completely lost my service.

Review №53

I used to love this place, a couple of years ago. Unfortunately the service and food quality has gone down significantly. My order is always messed up. On one visit, I ordered a pizza and they messed it up. I asked them to please make the one I asked for, and they literally took off the toppings, added new ones, and re-baked the pizza. The crust was so burnt, I couldn’t eat it. Not good when you spent around $12-14 on a personal sized pizza.On other occasions our order has been messed up, as well.The last time we went, the waiter never came to get our order card. My husband finally got up and took it to them (we were over 20 minimum into the movie). We ordered pizza and popcorn. We never got the popcorn we ordered. The pizza was hard to get down. I had really high hopes for this place, especially since they used to be really good.

Review №56

Not a great representation of this chains brand. In each screening it is made clear a major code of conduct is no talking during the movie. This is not enforced at this location so if you dont mind people talking then this is the theater for you. Food was okay and service so-so. Also if a guest is sitting watching the credits it is simple courtesy to quietly clean the theatre not brag about big tippers loudly.

I’ve been going to ADC for years, even before they opened in CC. I’ve always enjoyed the service. The CC location is great. Friendly, good service. Their rule about arriving late, talking etc. is great. Plus, no crying children! Just because of this, I go to ADC, instead of Century (which is literally a walking distance away). Can’t beat the food either.

Dinner and a movie? Why not? The food is hot and the drinks are cold. Oh yeah, theres a movie too. I recommend showing up early to find your seat while the lights are on. You can also read the menu much easier. And youll want too. There is a variety of choices, from popcorn to full entrees.

This place is really nice.You can find old replays and new movies here.Seating is around 20 minutes ahead of showing. You can order your food during the previews.

Review №74

Love the concept, and some of the design. The wait staff, while quick, seems to be always running in and out. This was very distracting from my focus on the movie. Prices are very reasonable, but for a rookie, its hard to know how to order. (until you watch the wait staff over and over(more distractions from the movie)). The seats werent comfortable and I couldnt figure out how to lower the arm rest. Also it was muggy in there, I know Im in Texas, but its May. They could turn the ac down, the employees have to be hot with all the running they do.

Review №76

Customer service was awful! We were told that we were five minutes late to the movie and we could not sit down. I asked if we would be refunded, the employee said of course. We went to the cashier told her what happened and said they dont do refunds once the movie has started, only rainchecks. We asked if the rainchecks expire, she said they DONT expire. The manager came to give us the raincheck tickets and they had an expiration date. We went back in to tell them yet again we had been misinformed from the employees. Manager was being rude and snarky. Didnt care that his employees gave us wrong information twice! Every time we go to the Alamo draft house we have a bad experience so I really dont recommend it. We went to AMC instead, paid $9 dollars for two tickets as opposed to $25 at the Alamo draft house. We went to go see the same movie that we tried to watch earlier. Turns out the movie was not five minutes in. It was less than 30 seconds in when we had arrives to the Alamo drafthouse. Overall bad experience. Save your money and go to a different movie theater!
