A great Theater saw so many movies back in the 80s. well worth the stop

Beautiful! Reminds me of going to the theater when I was a kid. Now I can take my kids there too! Love it and they dont price gouge you either. More memories to come I know

We love going here to watch movies, great popcorn, friendly people and fantastic price!

A great asset to Hickory, Historical old style Theater, thats been well preserved lots of upgrades new comfortable seats... Chance to see movies at a reasonable price in case you misses the first run..A unique and true asset to Downtown and Hickory NC

Most affordable and chill movie theater you can go to.

Hickory is fortunate to have this gem! They have two screens for second run movies and both offer a great viewing experience with good sight lines.Extremely clean - the theaters have been recently renovated with newer seats which are very comfortable. Concessions are very affordable, especially when you take into account the $3 ticket price.Parking is free and plentiful in the downtown area.

Very good way to get out and see a movie at a great price

Carolina Movie Theater is such an iconic part of Hickorys history. When you walk in, you feel as though you have stepped back in time. The atmosphere is one of comfort, coziness and excitement for the children waiting to see a movie. It makes me excited as well. And I have not found a bad seat since I have been visiting.

They updated the inside and it looks great! $3 a ticket and reasonable concessions. Plus other great opportunities if youre interested in finding a space for a birthday party or even church service.

Always have a good time every time we go to the movies.. We like this theater better because the price is good and the movie are great! Plus the food is regular price not outrageous like they are at other places.. Overall a great place to see a good movie and have some popcorn with candy and drink

We regularly go visit this family friendly theater and have been for over 15 years. The place is really comfortable and the movies are more affordable! Plus, they regularly donate to local school fundraisers. They give so much back to the community.We love to visit the Carolina Theater!!!

Ticket prices and concessions are really good. The seats are mostly comfortable. Its just a home town place to hang out with your friends and family that wont break the bank. The only downer is that the movies arent brand new releases but who really cares. Lol. Id rather save some coins.

WOW, REALLY LOVED THE THEATER. WENT HERE WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL. SO NICE AND CLEAN INSIDE. ENJOYED A MOVIE NIGHT OUT. LOVE THE SEATS. SO COMFORTABLE.

Love this movie theater!!$3 movies, Awesome popcorn, great candy selection and an awesome selection of sodas!I would Highly recommend this theater!

I love this theater. Prices are amazing seats are comfortable. Has a great small town atmosphere.

I love being able to take the family here for fun family days. The price is great and even then concessions are a good deal. The only problem I have a personal one that I know they ready cant fix without changing prices to raise the money. Im a paraplegic and I hate that I can only watch the movie showing on screen one because I cant get upstairs.

Great little theater. 3 dollar tickets. Cheap snacks and drinks. Overall great experience.

Place is an older theater but it has charm and they have updated the lower level theater seating. Great pricing for families. Great value

It’s worth all the money you spend and it’s not a lot that you spend!! Never thought a place like this could ever be open and affordable now days!! But guess what it is and the staff are amazing super sweet and even the older gentleman that was behind food counter and that came in to watch scary stories movie!! Popcorn was amazing and place was so nice and well taken care of

The only movie theater Ill willingly visit!

Great theater with atmosphere, not like the big theater that makes you stand in an endless line at the concession stand just to get your ticket so you can then sit through 30 minutes of ads before the movie starts.

Always so much fun at the Carolina Theater. Lots of variety in their movies, great price, of course, at $3 a ticket. Really good popcorn and drinks, too. Love the atmosphere.

A+Its hard for me to give a 5 on anything. When you get the most out of a rating then people think they have nothing to improve on. We should always want to improve on anything that we do. That being said this is one of the best places to watch a real good movie.

This is a great little theater with courteous staff . The prices are really affordable for families too.

Its a great place to see a movie: comfortable seats, reasonable prices, and no musty, moldy odor.

You cant go wrong with $3 dollar movies. The movie we seen was in the upper theatre so it was even better to me. And the movie was good too. Seen Aladdin.

Great, affordable place for the whole family in downtown Hickory, NC. The Crescent Moon Cafe and ‘Hatch’ are on the same street, great food and drink joints.

Went to see A Kids Life ... For me the food was priced a little high .. But that is me... Enjoyed the seats .. Recliners.. Had a lot of room to move ... What I liked best was not Dirty ....

My sister had her sons birthday party at this theater. The owner and his staff were absolutely phenomenal!!!

Good place to save on movie night. Very sweet people. Low prices for a movie theater.

How can you beat a $3 movie with comfy seats?

Cheap prices they also have birthday reservations which had came in handy.

Best popcorn in town and affordable.

Great place to see a movie, comfortable setting, great snack selection.

Great place to see a movie good seat and cheap. Love it

Great theater not expensive at all and just what I needed

If you can wait to see blockbuster films, going to Carolina theater is a great option. Enjoy watching movies and getting food at reasonable prices!!!

This is the only place a couple can go and have a wonderful time with a movie popcorn and drinks for 16 bucks. This was our first visit we really enjoyed it and we were going to be coming back very often

Great price for admission. Also great concession stand. Can get tickets, food and drinks for less than admission to regular theatre. Pleasant staff

It is awesome here and we loved the movie overcome we watched their tonight! Awesome popcorn candy and drinks!

Really enjoyed this classic theatre. Pricing on tickets, drinks, popcorn at a saving. Good movie s...relaxed atmosphere. Matinee s.

Great time and good movie. Prices for the snacks and movie are very are very affordable. My 6 year old nephew had a great time.

I just discovered this place, and I was skeptical about how it would be. However, I had a really great time! The theater was clean, comfortable seating, great sound, and clear picture! Furthermore, could not beat the price! Also, the location is really great if you want to grab some food or a beer at Hickory Tap Room before the film.

It is a good place not a lot of people come so it was quit emptey

I prefer gonna here. Great movie and staff. Much less expensive than other theater. Only thing is catching what movie you like playing. For price you cant beat it.

Nice, clean, looks to be recently renovated. Comfortable seats(you can lift the arm rest; to be able to set closer) and very clean restrooms. Family atmosphere. Only 3 bucks each. Worth it. Worth it. Worth it

The Carolina Theater is a classic Hickory business. Great value and experience.

What a wonderful place! I’m so glad it exists. Affordable tickets and snacks and so much personality in the building and staff! I’m an adult but I may just have my birthday party here. A+ job BR!

Great price for the whole family and great staff.

Love this place. Its makes for wonderful little dates. We try to come as often as we can. The showings are usually never crowded. Really good place.

Great place. Kids love the old time feel

Fantastic establishment!Great prices, always clean, and friendly staff!What else could u ask for?!Oh, and coming from a sound guy, the audio has been upgraded a few years ago, and it sounds really good!! So two thumbs up, across the board!!!

Love the old style theater feel but with the benefit of an excellent sound system and super comfy rocking chairs. Tix are far cheaper than other theaters and concessions are a tad cheaper too.

Excellent Service. Affordable price

Nice and clean with awesome ticket prices.

Clean, reasonably priced and quiet theatre. Pleasant staff too.

Great place. Cheap prices. We love it.

Good theater with decent food prices

Cool Lil spot 4 this boring town. Very clean at the time I came 1/22/19 6PM so hopefully it is on busy days. Seats were comfortable no recliner but arm rest goes up 4 fun Just BS. Overall good cheap place 4 the Youngins think it was 12for4

Best movie deal in town. Love this place.

We love this place! Its Its only $3 per ticket. It is clean and welcoming and the staff is great :). We are regulars.

You cant find a better deal in town. Comfortable seats to go along with very cheap movie tickets. Also, the popcorn, etc are very low priced too.

We love this place! Weve gone to see various movies, had a birthday party there too. I love that its affordable. Birthday party was awesome. Theyre super accomdating. The chairs are upgraded and very comfortable.

Been going there since the 70s. Used to be only $1.50, still only $3.00. Prices on food & drink not bad either. A great deal if you are willing to wait for a movie to finish its first run. Two screens, neat and clean, as good as any multiplex. Easy to get to and a free covered parking area across the street if you dont time it right to get a space right in front of the door.

Love this theater! No one beats the price-great environment, friendly staff, very clean bathrooms, comfortable seats, and great sound. Also had my sons birthday party here just a couple months ago! We played mario cart on the big screen! Everyone loves it! “Such an awesome party” “Differnent and fun” “Perfect for the game lover” “I can’t believe what a deal that is!”

A vintage building in the heart of down town Hickory. Take a walk down memory lane, a true gem. Plenty of free curbside parking. Highly recommend.

Love prices. So much cheaper than AMC.

Enjoyed the movie Rocket man. Also like the popcorn and rocking chairs.

Great place to watch a movie. Tickets are only $3.00 and consecions are not expensive. The theatre itself is very nice with very comfortable high back seats that rock.

The Carolina Theater is a true Hickory GEM! Great theater, good food, comfortable seats...all for $3! How lucky are we!

Friendly staff and great prices

We love the Carolina!!! Where else can you take a party of 11 people pay for tickets and concessions for $100? It is clean and the staff friendly. The owner is always helping out local schools and community organizations.

Love this place. Just needs ac in there. It gets too hot.

The prices are great here. You can get tickets at a very cheap price also. My grandson and I go to the movies and get refreshments all for around twenty bucks.

This was a fun outing, this theatre is older and as such it had a very retro feel in its avvomodations.

Wonderful theater, great seats and cheap tickets.

Awesome prices! Enough said!

Absolutely peaceful, great staff, clean, I will definitely be going back soon

Just $3 for movies. Love this place.

Good place.to go on a night out

Ive had a great and awesome experience here, they always have awesome movies to watch every weekend something new.. I love how it is only $3 bucks very cheap and reasonable.. I recommend coming here, if you have not been here yet. And the staff are very sweet people and very welcoming.

Nice local theater. Great prices.

I love going to this movie theater, because of the cheap ticket and concession prices

I dont give many 5 star ratings. However, Carolina Theater is a great alternative to the mainstream movie theaters. If there is a movie that you have been wanting to see, or simply see again, the ticket prices and concession prices are very low. The movies have normally just left bigger theaters, and they play all of the hottest movies. Its a great place for a date night.

The gaming birthday for my son was a success. He and the boys loved it!

Had a great time watching Ready Player One with some friends. I like the design of this theatre, such as its 20th century look from the outside. I could care less if it was like the 3D, 4D or Big Screen. It felt like going to the movies, not a overpriced theatre thats crowded. This place keeps the lights on for three dollars a movie and makes it just fine from what I see, and the staff was kind and courteous. Helping a old man who was asleep outside earned us free tickets, we left more than satisfied.

An outting with my Grand Daughter. We really enjoyed ourselves.

Lovely theater with little past release movies. Great bargain $5 movies and wonderfully nice employees. Upstairs theater puts you amazingly close to the action. Downstairs theater has somewhat new seats. Great family theater.

The only thing I dont like is certain people who have no respect for others, like talking normal on cell phones just because its cheaper than other theaters. I enjoy going here, doesnt break the bank. Me and my wife have seen many movies here in the past. My children are starting to behave now, hopefully this will be something we will all enjoy together.

Older theatre but great price on tickets.

Me and my Grandson enjoyed ourselves! Loved the movie and popcorn!!!

Awesome theatre and cheap admission! My only complaint is the price of concessions.

Friendly Staff and great price on concessions and price of movie is the best in the Catawba Valley! I love going to see a movie at the Carolina in Downtown Hickory NC.

I used to like this place, but the last time I visited I discovered that they have an unofficial policy against selling a ticket earlier than 15 minutes prior to the show. I was not actually trying to enter the building early, I just wanted to purchase my ticket before dinner like I have done at many other theaters.The policy is not posted because apparently its only enforced when they feel like its necessary. I am not sure why a person quietly standing in front of their box office by themselves warranted this concern, but it is what it is.The cashier made it seem like I was acting suspicious and unreasonable. I felt like a kid whod been dropped off by my parents. Im 35. I did not appreciate being gaslighted by an actual young person, who pretended like every movie theater has this policy and why would I ever think otherwise? The only reason he would give was some ridiculous statement about how a ticket is admission to their building and theyd had problems. No further explanation forthcoming. I asked why the policy wasnt posted and he told me it was because it wasnt something they advertised.It left a very sour taste in my mouth and colored my entire perception of the place.

I love this place! Very clean, pleasant restrooms, $3 movies, and we paid only $4.75 for as an extra large buttered popcorn. (refills are half price) Theres parking on the street in front of the theater, and a parking deck across the street.

Good prices for movies and refreshments.

Played an oldie .

I love this place! (I may be a bit biased, because my aunt used to work here!) The films are not first-run, but affordable and they really have good snack and rental deals for parties. Loved coming here as a kid and now enjoy coming as an adult. (Especially considering the prices!!)

Decent ticket price and food price!! Reccomend waiting another month or two to save your money and go here. The seats are even more comfortable than the AMC theater! Friendly staff as well!

Older is Better! Best rocking chair Movie Theater around and the prices are reasonable for both tickets and concessions. I personally like going there to see a movie on the full size downstairs screen. Been going here since I was a child. Its the REAL Deal!
