It’s a pretty decent theater. Often they don’t have salt. Right now during COVID they won’t give the usual refills on large popcorn, but still charge the regular price or tell you before hand .

Good theater. Getting your own soft drink is a huge plus for me. Ive tried the flatbread (pizza) and they are really good!Great concept, I just think it can be a bit cleaner. The bathroom smell even though they werent excessively dirty. On a slow day, the tables in the center were all dirty with no one maintaining them.The seats are nice and comfortable. With heated seats the ability to recline and rather spacious.

They are in the process of renovating now that they are under AMC. I came here until I left for college 6 years ago when it was Carmike Cinemas. AMC has definitely stepped up their presentation and style. I hadnt been since last year, so coming gave me a fresh take.The seats are leather(feeling, doubt authentic) reclined with heating which is great when the theatre gets too cold. They have self serve Coca Cola machines now which is a big improvement having gone to many theatres that have this feature.I was able to reserve seats for our movie. Which, being from a city that this feature is a staple, I find so convenient when you are planning outings in advance or have a large group(such as with kids). No more worrying if everyone will be together or not.They gave a good rewards program that is about $15 for the year, but if you go to the movies as frequently as my family can, it is definitely worth the investment. They often get enough points to go several times a year without paying a dime, or, at least, extremely little(my familys experience). They do have a cap on points, Im assuming is 40,000 because we accumulated 37,000 recently and the concession woman explained it would cap soon.Some of the staff I recognize from a year or so ago when I came last, so I know they are very friendly and helpful. The ones I am not familiar with, such as the concession woman, seem to be equally friendly and helpful.Definitely going to be returning here more frequently.

Theater and bathrooms are super clean. Employees and other customers were in compliance. It was a good experience.

We stood in line with one person taking orders and selling tickets. The premier line had about three customers and of course they get preference. There were two other ladies in the background making hot dogs, I guess? Not for anyone who had ordered them but to stock. It wasnt until I said something, that they assisted the young man with the line that was even longer by then. There was no ice in some of the machines. There was no butter for popcorn on one side of the snack station. The theater was very cold. They have seat warmers but my arms were still cold. Take a sweater. The restrooms are poorly lit. There are no lights in some stalls. Overall clean and decently friendly staff.

Serve real food like hot dogs Mac and cheese and burgers besides popcorn and soda. Seats now move so you lay down or sit up and everything in between. Seats heat up as well. Had a great time watching a movie here. Will go again.

If you don’t mind waiting to see a movie, this place is great. You can have date night (movie, popcorn, soda) for two for under $20! If you’re a regular movie goer I suggest getting the rewards card. I was able to save a lot of money with rewards that built up. My last visit costs me under $1 for the movie, popcorn bucket, and large soda. The theatre itself is always clean and the seats are really comfortable.

We loved the theater itself, but there were many disrespectful people in there who did not let us enjoy our movie. They came in and out the theater many times and while they were in the theater they kept on talking, laughing, & were on their phones. The staff was lovely but they should monitor the theaters just so they can make sure people are enjoying the movie without people being disrespectful. Come to a theater to watch the movie not to talk nor laugh.

My first time in this theatre. NICE!!! Lazy boy type recliner seat, very comfortable. Clean restroom, great candy and soda selection. Well stocked bar. What else can you ask for.....? If only people could be less of a pig and not leave seats and floor as if chicken had been eating there.

Overall great theater. I have movie VIP pass- that is a good deal but concession prices are significantly higher than Cinemark. Realllyyyy overpriced on their food. Staff is nice though.

Review №16

Very nice since the recent remodel. Expanded food options, including a surprisingly tasty pizza. Coke Freestyle machine for drinks, so there are a ton of options for beverages. The best part of the remodel is the theaters themselves. Less overall seats, but they are all recliners (electric) with seat warmers. Be careful, if you arent very skinny you may accidentally press the warmer without noting. It seems the recliners on the ends may be slightly larger. Reserved seating. Each row is separated by a small partition wall. This will be fine for most adults, but if you recline the seat all the way it may be hard to see the bottom of the screen. Also children may have some difficulty, but it depends on how you sit. Apparently, they also have a bar now in the lobby. Great place to watch a movie!

Its not every day that a family of seven can goto the movies. With this being said, it was very enjoyable. Tiered seating is nice at any level for viewing pleasure and the reclined/heated seating just adds to the comfortability for everyone.

Review №22

Screens are either dark or (as of my last trip) have a flickering quality that is very distracting. The mens rooms are kind of gross. However, the staff is very friendly, the theaters are clean, the seating is in good shape, and the lobby is nice. All together a mediocre experience though. There are better theaters in town.

The theater has had such a great facelift since changing to and AMC. All the seating is super comfortable and the delivery service to your seat for concessions is outstanding. A theater the offers so much for you to enjoy your theater going experience.

Waited as 1st customers in the refreshment line, while the employees worked behind the counter. After 5 minutes, other customers had gathered in the premier line. When the employee finally was ready to assist customers we were handled was last, though we were there fully 5 minute before anyone else. In total it took greater than 10 minutes to get a popcorn and soda, even though the concession are had 3 total customers, including me.

Review №28

The renovations were nice but recently my experience coming here is sorely lacking. The bar got our drinks wrong and overcharged us. Today I showed up with 15 minutes before my movie only to have to wait in the concession line to have my ticket checked. We were late for the movie because there were only two people staffed in the entire lobby. Im going back to Cinemark even if I like the chairs better here, service is poor and theres never enough staff.

Review №29

We were told that the movie listed on the website was incorrect and shouldve been marked at pm instead of am. Of course this was brought to our attention after purchasing the ticket at the listed time of 930 am. I wouldve given 0 stars but 1 was given to the coke flavor I selected. Wouldnt recommend.

Awesome venue. My mother is on a walker or in a wheelchair and this theater is handicapped accessible. We were in town for a family reunion and I had planned a movie as a beat-the-heat activity that we could all enjoy together. We saw Lion King and young and old enjoyed this outing. The seats are recliner-style and awesome!!!

Review №42

The theater was great. The heated seats really add a good touch. The lobby was a whole other story. The lobby was crowded wich is to be expected, but it was a total mess. Popcorn all over the ground, spilled drinks on the counter and nobody cleaning. It looked like 5 year olds ransacked the concessions. Whats worse is 2 hrs later AFTER the movie, it still wasnt cleaned. Not what Id expect as an avid AMC moviegoer.

Review №43

This has to be one of the best places to watch movies. Very clean and the seating makes the experience personal with electric reclining and heated seats. Makes me feel like Im at home. You dont feel tired after watching a long movie either. (Avengers Endgame was exceptional here!) The sound quality made the movie just come to life. My seat was rumbling during the fight scenes and pinnacle moments. Over all my experience has always been 5 out of 5 here! Good job AMC and I highly recommend this movie theatre...

Review №47

I know a lot of people love the new seating, but as a tall guy (6’6”) the leg rest just digs into the back of my legs & cuts off circulation. I just leave it down rather deal with that “pins & needles” feeling. Carmike used to be much homier & more welcoming. While the AMC re-brand looks slick, it’s just a facade. Service here has gone in the toilet, that awesome military discount just got cut by more than half, and their AMC Stubs system never seems to be working correctly. PLUS, they got rid of all the waiting area seating, so you have to stand there waiting when that awesome seating is full. I think I’m moving on to MoviePass...

Love this theater! The only complaint I have is that no one is ever ready to provide service at the bar, you have to ask a manager. Then, when they finally come, they never have the ingredients to make the featured drinks. So whats the point in heavy marketing if you cant provide?

Great movie. The seats I purchased online one of the heaters DID NOT work. When I talked with manager she had short black hair. As a manager did not provide a solution and was rude. Worst customer service ever. Id rather stay home and wait for new releases then have that experience AGAIN.

Review №64

This AMC is a rather average movie theater, cleanliness varies from visit to visit. During an opening weekend, you can expect their soda dispensers and napkin area to be filthy with spilled drinks and popcorn all over the floor. They serve guest at the concession with AMC Stubs A-list or Premiere members first compared to non-members, at a rate of two A-list or Premiere members then a non-member (2:1). This can make wait time extremely long for non-member guests. They have reclining seats which is nice and you buy tickets with reserved seating. They offer $5 movies on Tuesday which is a plus.

They have really improved everything at the theater. Adding the bar was a great idea! Grabbing a drink before a movie is great. The complaint I have that warrants the 3 stars instead of 5 is that the screen kept glitching during our movie. It was a bit annoying.

I had not been to this movie theater for a couple of years. The improvements are great. The heated seats are nice when it is too cold in the theater because of the a/c. I had a Caribbean Cooler and it was ok but way too much ice. But the screen and sound were good and the seats were fairly comfy.

So I booked my tickets on the AMC app show up and someone is in my seats. I tell them they are in my seats and show them my online email confirmation, he then shows me his confirmation with the same seats, auditorium and movie time. I go to guest services and they tell me they were double booked. Double booked reserved seats by the way. They tell me some seats were available in the row right below so I go back and guess what. Those seats have people in them also. Go back out to guest services and turns out those seats were taken also. I ended up getting a refund for my food and tickets since at this point the movie had been going for 20 minutes. As I look at my refund receipt I notice its not for the full amount. I tell the girl and she says I would have to call corporate since they cant refund fees. I just spoke to corporate and they stated that they dont refund the booking fees per their policy. Seems like an easy way for them to make money. Charge for something and dont give back full refunds per policy. Never going back to theses theaters again.

Review №86

I was home on vacation when I attended this theater, and even though its an AMC now for some time its still has some flaws.. the staff is great though, they were friendly and very courteous. What Im referring to is the set up, the design and build. For example me and my siblings were waiting for the new Spider Man movie to come out. My brother reserves the seats and he picks the ones on the very top, we get into the actual auditorium and we see this wall. One of my brothers is 11 and when he sat down and reclined his seat his view of the screen was very poorly. I tried it myself and I was just able to see the movie and Im 61. It just doesnt make any sense to have that wall as tall as it is (maybe privacy?) and unfortunately my brother had to struggle during the whole movie in order to watch it.

Review №88

I love this movie theater, but always arrive early if you want popcorn or anything because concession stands are always slow for some reason. Make sure you order your tickets online prior to the movie so you dont have to wait in line and you can pick the seating you want. This theater has reclining and heating seats but not all the heating works. And the bar sucks. Over priced drinks, bar tender is the slowest Ive ever seen, cant multi task at all, cant pour drinks. But the theater overall is pretty nice.
