    Spicy Buffalo Chicken Pizza
    Destinee R.

    Visited for a screening of Sinners and wanted to check out a new theatre. Located in LaCenterra, it is easily accessible from the connected parking garage. The scanner would not pull up my reservation for tickets, but the concierge verified us and showed us to the theatre. I was underwhelmed with the seats due to tattered upholstery on almost all the seats. My boyfriend's seat also was defective and did not recline. Our server- Colton- promptly greeted us and notified a manager quickly regarding the seat. They came over, apologized and gave us new seat options as well as snack coupons which I really appreciated (the seats were sold accidentally). The women's bathroom was a bit untidy- a few stalls were overloaded with toilet paper or inaccessible due to an overflow. To eat we ordered a margarita, whisky sour, buffalo wings and buffalo chicken pizza. The whisky sour and pizza were really good, the marg and wings pretty average. The servers weren't a distraction to the movie and brought our check in a timely manner. This was a nice place to visit but would love to see the seats redone.

    Very nice Alamo Drafthouse location! It is in a shopping center with plenty of parking out front. They have a restaurant/bar area in the front lobby, which features ample happy hour options, even on the weekends! Our theater was in fairly good condition (though the seats were a little worn), but the seats had elevated leg rests, which was really nice! It was a little chilly in the theater (which I appreciate in Houston!), so I used a blanket which really helped. The previews were directly relevant to the movie we were watching, which was really fun too. Food was good but a little salty. We will definitely be back!

    I love this whole concept of relaxing in a comfy chair, kicking your feet up, and having someone bring you food and drinks! My only dissatisfaction was waiting so long for a drink refill. I followed the procedure, waited 20 minutes then went in search of someone to order in person with- that worked out, but would have preferred to stay in my comfy seat.

    I loved this theater before tonight. I pay for the monthly membership which I am about to cancel. Near the end of the movie the mother and daughter sitting on my right left abruptly before the end of the movie...because as it turns out the daughter threw up. I turned on my light to signal someone to come, the first time, they just turned off my light. The second time I said someone's thrown up, and all he said was "we got it." Clearly, you don't got it, if you're going to leave a pile of throw up near patrons and just not do anything about it when everyone nearby can smell it. Just absolutely disgusting. It was left there the last 30 minutes of the movie.

    Went to the Alamo Drafthouse for the first time yesterday to watch the new Michelle Yeoh movie, "Everything, Everywhere, All At Once". The movie was wonderful and the experience was wonderful from the second I ordered my ticket to the moment I left. I booked tickets ahead on their website. Smooth checkout process. $11 plus a couple more dollars for the convenience fees and such made for a nice $14 spent. When I got there, I didn't even have to scan my ticket. Just showed up, asked the attendant where to go, was escorted to my seat, and boom. Simple, no fuss. The seats recline and are very spacious. I got pretty big thighs but had room to scoot left to right. Super comfy. There's a little table with a huge menu of food and beers to choose from built into the seat. I didn't end up getting anything, but prices seemed to be pretty affordable ($10-$15/item) and the servers come quick. It was a bit of a nuisance seeing them dash around throughout the movie, but not too much of a bother. If I took an edible beforehand, I'm sure I'd appreciate the quick service delivering munchies at my beck and call lmao. Overall I had a great time. Easy parking, super efficient operations, great place to watch a movie. I'll be back to catch the new Dr. Strange movie next month.

    Apparently WORTHLESS digital ticket that basically is not good enough to get you the seats you paid for. Ot

    It pains me to give my beloved Alamo Drafthouse a poor review, but they really dropped the ball on our visit. I am an Alamo Drafthouse Victory rewards member and used the Alamo App to purchase my tickets. I received an emailed confirmation of my purchase as well as a digital ticket. We arrived for the show to find a large group taking up the entire row where we were supposed to be seated. The Alamo waiter also happened to be there taking their orders. I explained very politely that I thought they may be seated in our seats and showed them my digital ticket and confirmation. They stated that they had the tickets for the seats and tried to show me via the website, however, that doesn't prove a thing. I asked if I could see their "digital ticket" to confirm and the woman really really looked as if she didn't have it saying..,Here is the website..see? We bought the row. I asked once more, "I understand, however can you show us the ticket? Here is ours showing we purchased these seats." At this point the waited interrupted to say, "Sometimes the system sells the same tickets twice." So I said.."Ok..well can someone please produce a ticket then? Here is ours" At no time did anyone in this group show a ticket. The waiter was a nice kid and seemed really stressed and said he would go get a manager explaining once again that the "system" double sold the ticket again, which in my experience working over 24 years in tech believe is very unlikely, but I didn't want to make trouble for the kid who was basically left out to dry by his manager that never even came over to speak with us. They never produced a ticket or confirmation. We did. They got to keep the seats. Meanwhile, we were left standing in the back to find seats. My husband followed the young man, who was very polite, it wasn't his fault to go speak to the manager. They found some other seats for us much closer to the screen, however, it wasn't where we wanted to sit and no one ever came over to apologize or speak to us. I have worked for a major telecom company for over 20 years and have managed a retail store as a store manager for several years and know that when you are the one in charge, it is up to you to step up, address guests about the problem and how you will resolve and at least apologize. Also- How the hell do these other guests get to keep our seats and never produce a ticket? Seriously? That is total baloney. We have never ever ever had an issue on an Alamo visit before and if we had, someone always made it right., The waiter was a nice kid, but the manager should have definitely have stepped up to intervene or apologize and offered something in my opinion. Some soft drinks, a voucher..something. At bare minimum..an APOLOGY? Lol. Nothing. Zip. It was a total ball drop. Not cool. I didn't know that at this location, people sitting in your seats get to keep them even if you have a confirmed payment email AND can produce the ticket! Nope- you get made to move even though they refuse to produce a ticket if their own and no one apparently cares. We left the waiter a good tip. It wasn't his fault, but just know that if you arrive at this location with proof you purchased the seat, this particular location really doesn't care so good luck! It is musical chairs here and the first person to arrive gets the seats regardless of they can produce a ticket or not. If I had been the manager on duty, I would have come over personally to ask the guests to please produce the tickets as the waiter was clearly not comfortable sue it it being a large group of almost ten people. At the very least, the manager should have come over to our new seats and apologized. I would have said, "I deeply apologize for this inconvenience...this is not what we strive for here at Alamo but we want you to have a great night.~~~~ will take your order and I am going to get you folks vouchers for a future visit and I have some hot buttered popcorn and soft drinks coming on the house. Thank you for being a victory rewards member and we hope you enjoy the show and come back to see us! " That's what I would have done, but, I actually cared about my guests and would be embarrassed if someone had that experience in my business , was a rewards member and it wasn't their fault. It was a really big bummer to not get the seats you paid for in a nearly sold out show, but a sincere apology, or any for that matter would have helped and the hot buttered popcorn and soft drinks would have made my husband happy and feel acknowledged and it would have made ME happy because my husband wouldn't have been complaining to me and quietly seething in his seat all night pissed off these other people basically stole our seats. Boo to you Alamo La Centerra. You need to do better.

He did a phenomenal job, and was patient in explaining how to make it fun and fair for everyone. There were about 12 of us, so everyone got to have an interactive part and work on solving the mystery. It would be a ton of fun for any size group, and probably could get a lot more challenging too. The mystery wasn't easy to solve, either - so don't think that it's boring or a giveaway! The props that were used helped really make it easy to identify each character, and there was also a good amount of time to stop and figure out what you had learned as you investigated the murder. Our event was at a great local restaurant that had a private room, which was ideal: everyone is laughing and super silly, so it's essential to know that you can have fun and not be annoying other patrons nearby. I would recommend this for ANY age group. I read their website, and they can easily accommodate children if needed. Also, they even offer a non-murder option theme!! They've thought of everything. I loved it and hope they continue to make a killing here in Houston!! ;-)

We started with a few drinks in their Took Took lounge before the movie. Drinks were moderately priced (aperol spritz) priced at ~$10. I know that's a lot to some, but I feel like drinks are $12-$15 these days (and not even craft cocktails). I'll also point out that I went to an outdated movie theater recently (AMC 8 downtown), and their wines were $20 a glass. So what you pay for in premium movie tickets at iPic, the food/drink options are better quality and probably cheaper compared to other basic movie theaters.

We headed to the restroom first, but an employee followed us and told us we couldn't use it. I politely asked if we could buy the tickets first and then use the restroom, but the whole interaction felt unnecessary and frustrating. Because of that, we ended up buying tickets much earlier than the time our movie actually started. When we got to our seats, they weren't clean, so my boyfriend had to ask if someone could wipe them down, which was also irritating. Overall, it was a very underwhelming experience. We tried to give this place a chance, but next time we'll probably just go to Cinemark.
