Malco Ridgeway Cinema Grill

I've been here several times and only realized today I hadn't reviewed this location. It's tucked into the back of Ridgeway loop, which makes it easier for some to miss. Ample parking which is a plus. I love that Malco allows pre-selection of seats when purchased online. This is great if you're running late. I walked up to kiosk and retrieved my ticket. I ordered food and moved right into the theater. Smaller than other locations but had a really great layout that I love. They often show more indie, limited release and international films at this location along with big box office movies. Generally a clean and quiet location which ensures a good movie experience. I love the recliner seats at the other malco theaters. However, the rocker seats here are still comfortable.

Ridgeway Cinema Grill has endured & improved through the years. Employees are consistently pleasant & helpful, seats are comfy, legroom is ample ~ What more could one want? Well, the Gourmet Grill adds the 5th*My Optometry Appointment was on Ridge Lake on opening day of the excellent romantic comedy Crazy Rich Asians. So after my dilated vision returned to normal, I treated myself to a Matinee, Food & Drink, & great entertainment!

A theater with an adult focus. Not many big run films but films we might not find at any other theater.

Ridgeway Cinema Grill is a lovely way to enjoy a cozy evening out. They place mainstream movies, as well as more unique movies / documentaries. They have a full service menu & bar. The theatre is clean. The staff is friendly. Once your order you receive a number and they bring your food to you - talk about awesome service. Pricing is fair, for a movie theatre. It's an all around awesome experience for a casual date night / family night / friend night. It's good to switch things up! Enjoy a movie @Ridgeway Cinema Grill

Ridgeway Cinema Grille, Yelp. It's been renamed! Those aren't the only updates. New seats, including loveseats with flippable arms, updated touchless restrooms, upgraded food and booze menu and more entice the middle aged moviegoers of East Memphis and Germantown back into the theater.If you don't want to stop for dinner on the way to your movie, it's okay. They have the best fish & chips! Pizzas from Ciao Bella with a sour chewy crust, beer and wine, and lots of the usual movie favorites, too. The hummus is touch-and-go, sometimes entirely too garlicky, so be warned. Please don't tell anyone about this place.This is where you go to see Indie films and guaranteed Oscar nominees play. You won't always leave laughing, but you will be comfy and relaxed when you leave! Rarely will you find teenagers in this place, so consider it a respite from all the ill-mannered kids, though the 60-year-olds are just as bad about leaving their phones on and Facebooking mid-movie as the kids are!

My favorite movie theater in Memphis. They show intelligent films. The crowds are more mature. The food is excellent (you can butter your own popcorn - as much as you want). The outside doesn't really look like a movie theater (so it is less likely to be overcrowded). Love the retro Malco lighting and the old movie star collage (it's been there since the 1980's).One review stated that the chairs are too large. I would also like to complain they are much too comfortable. The wide arms rests and cup holders are too convenient for me as well. All kidding aside, this is your best bet for a great movie experience in Memphis.

For years, the Ridgeway Four has been the place to go to see the smaller, independent movies, foreign films and documentaries that aren't likely to play anywhere else in town. It's one of the city's stealthiest theaters, set back on a corporate street, blending in with the office buildings. And for years, it's been sort of the dive bar equivallent of a movie theater - quirky and beloved, but in need of some repair.I'm happy to report that the Ridgeway Four is getting those repairs.In the past, the Four's theaters had a bizarre bowl-shaped seating arrangement where the seats in the middle of the room were set lower than the ones in the front and the back. There were no fancy cupholder arm rests. As a part of the upgrades, the theaters are being upgraded. The new stadium seating set up means fewer chairs that are way more comfortable. The new chairs are deep and recliner cozy, and they've got cup holders and huge arm rests that mean the end of arm rest wars with strangers.The huge arm rests also serve as little tables for the theater's new menu. In the past, getting food for a movie at the Ridgeway Four meant skipping the concession stand and sneaking in some gas station sushi. Now, the theater has a menu of fresh Italian food from Ciao Bella. The menu has pizzas, pasta and appetizers, and just about everything on it is less than $10. In true art house fashion, the Ridgeway Four now has a decent selection of beer and wine that you can take into the theater.If you're one of those people who's completely terrified of change, don't worry - the Ridgeway Four's film selection is staying the same (if anything, they're more commited than ever to showing films you won't find anywhere else in town). Also, the old movie mural that you've been staring at since your childhood isn't going anywhere.

It's the nicest cinema in town in terms of comfort and amenities. They don't have the electric reclining chairs as the really nice theatres in some cities have. And you can't reserve a specific seat as I've seen in some places, BUT the seats here are large and very comfortable, and there is plenty of space between the rows. The grill has a pretty decent selection of food. It's in a very nice commercial part of East Memphis. Parking is plentiful and easy.

This is my favorite movie theater in Memphis!!!! The seats are huge and my feet are off the ground. I can sit Indian style in the seats and that is baller to me!!!! I would go here over all the other ones here in Memphis. It's super comfortable and that means everything.

Our movie was surprisingly well attended for a Monday. But we didn't feel crowded in any way. The seats & AC were welcoming & comfortable. What was strange was upon a request for popcorn salt, we waited while an associate said she'd be right back, then headed for an employee's only area, then reappeared with a small serving cup with about a tablespoon of table salt. Seriously?I understand that dealing with the public in our modern pandemic era presents challenges, but table salt?Fortunately the popcorn had a nearly sufficient amount of seasoning, so we used only a tiny bit. But this was strange. Everyone was very kind & helpful, public spaces were neat & clean, and we thoroughly enjoyed the movie! We'll look forward to our next visit.
