For a movie theater that you can eat real food in?! yes please! The food quality can be improved upon, but not bad for a theater! I got their seasonal special (with the release of Wicked), chicken wrap. It was not very flavorful and I struggled to finish it, but the fries that came with them are crispy and fresh - cooked to perfection. My husband got a cobb salad, and he said it wasn't anything too special and a little bland. Service: Overall very good, waiters took our orders right when we sat down and got our food quickly. When you needed anything during the movie, just pop up the card and they will take the order very fast. Some might find the servers walking around to be a little distracting during the movie, but I didn't mind. Ambiance: real food in movie theater. cannot complain!

We ate at Liquid Sunshine taproom Bar inside the theater complex. They have a small menu, but I think you can find something for everyone.Our server was very attentive and quick. He knew we were going to watch a movie soon. We were told we could order from the same menu inside the theater as well.I ordered the Alamo salad bowl with GUINOA , sweet potatoes-were cold-not what I expected, but it worked! Also black beans, tomatoes, cuks, & avocado slices. The Serrano lime dressing, and toasted pecans made it all come together nicely!! Inside the theater, we went to was small, comfortable chairs do not recline, but rock back-and-forth a bit. Sound system is great. I would come back to watch a movie again here.They have cute holiday decor in their lobby and friendly staff service.

Great experience seeing Mean Girls here! Tickets were around $10 on a Sunday afternoon, not too crowded.Food and drink options looked good, popcorn tasted great. The chairs in the theatre I sat in are not automatic, more of a slight lean back like a rocking chair (that doesn't swing back forward). Very comfortable, I would definitely come back!

Went this weekend to the Elf Movie Party and my whole family loved everything about this experience! They had fun props (elf hats, jingle bells, scratch and sniff stickers, fake snow balls)... they did a fun game before the movie. It was fabulous. The theater itself was great. Modern and clean with great service. Only complaint would be that the chairs do not recline.

(NOTE: For full disclosure, I do co-host the monthly movie quiz in the Liquid Sunshine Taproom, but this review is only about the Alamo/in-theater experience, so I am unbiased in that respect )My husband and I are movie people. I *enjoy* movies, but he LOVES them. Not just big blockbusters (he likes those too) and not just art films (again, he likes those too) - but ALL MOVIES. And let me tell you, the Alamo is a place for movie people, BY movie people - and it shows.Alamo cares about entertaining their audience so they do show the big movies of the day. But where they really shine is that they care about promoting classic film appreciation with their retrospective showings, featuring some great movies that many may have never known about or seen.Aside from the schmaltzy film-loving stuff (which I adore, bring on the schmaltz ), they also have a ton of fun stuff to do for movie lovers that isn't just "watch the movie" only - including the lobby, which is the Star Wars Death Star and Emperor's Throne! Their biggest movie-event style (outside of special showings/movies themselves) is movie parties. These include props to play along with different scenes of the movie, contests at the beginning of the movie party sometimes, and most movie parties will have a special themed drink or a food menu, specific for that movie/event. The movie parties are also sometimes "quote-a-longs" where the audience can quote along with a classic film. They really go all out for these parties and make it super enjoyable Oh, and how could I forget, they also do special engagement events where someone from the movie itself will come in and do a Q&A with the audience before/after watching their film. Those do sell out quick in my experience, so if you see one that excites you, don't wait to snag a ticket!Another fun thing Alamo does is themed marathons, showing a mystery assortment of a certain actor, director, or genre. These also will usually have a special menu that goes along with them, and you are there basically for a whole day, so you WILL eat most of that menu And lastly, their normal every-day menu is great too. My favorites are the baked pretzel, the pickle fries, the vegan cauliflower basket, and the pepperoni pizza. They also will have a "special features" section of the menu sometimes with a few added items for a season, and it will change out every once in a while to a new special features menu. So there's a ton to choose from, which is nice.As a side note, I have seen a few reviews with folks complaining about the no talking/no phones policy, but why do you want to go to a theater and chit chat with your friends and look at your phone? Stay home and do that - it's way cheaper, and you're not bothering strangers with your personal conversations/social media scrolling.Like I said earlier, this place is for movie-lovers. If you want to go to a movie in a nice theater atmosphere with comfy seats, no distractions, and have great food and drinks too - The Alamo Drafthouse is for you!

I will definitely give this place another chance but my first visit had quite the mix-up. Went to see Die Hard, got there early as instructed and ordered bottomless popcorn and drinks. Maybe 45 min into the movie we filled out our paper with a request for more popcorn and a few more drinks and food. Someone grabbed the paper promptly. Over 30 minutes went by and nothing. Eventually my bf flagged down the server and she said she didn't have our request, apparently the runner did not give it to her. So not only was there not time to order anything else but we paid for bottomless popcorn and didn't get any refills. Our room was not crowded but perhaps she was also serving the other packed room. Had a great time otherwise and enjoyed our drinks. I hope next time goes more smoothly.

I went and enjoyed the new Inside Out 2 at this theater recently. I didn't look too much into it prior, but it really is more of a dine and eat - than a normal movie theater! No complaints as the experience was different but not bad. The waiters errr very fast service to our seats - we had bottomless popcorn, waters, and the alamo spritz. The ticket prices weren't bad and I would go back to try some more of their dining!

Went here to see the movie Civil War with my boyfriend and it was his first time coming (my first time in years). I absolutely loved their Vegan Buffalo Cauliflower bites with really good Vegan ranch! My Royale with Cheese burger was sadly overcooked and dry, but my fries were really good. We also got some limited time Moon's Eclipse cocktails that were phenomenal! The service was great and did not disrupt the movie. I really had a great date night with my boyfriend here! (Did not take pictures of the food as it was dark and we got them during the movie)

In theory this theater sounds like a great idea- adults only, dine and watch a movie, however there were a few aspects that didn't meet my expectations. The reservation process ahead of time was very easy online- lots of movie options with many times available. Upon arrival to the theater, we sat down and were immediately greeted by servers to take our order. The food came out relatively fast, and the process to order more food seemed seamless. However, I thought the food was not very good. I was disappointed with my spicy buffalo pizza. It seemed overcooked, so the sauce, cheese, and chicken were all so dry. I didn't taste any of the creamy buffalo sauce that was listed on the menu. Additionally, while the seats were large and roomy, there was no option to recline like many other theaters I have been to. After having been in reclining movie theater seats, these did not feel very comfortable.
