    Great theater experience and an awesome movie! I feel the need for speed!
    Steven B.

    I wrote a review about a terrible experience I had here back in 2015. My oh my have times changed and for the better! Let me tell you what I experienced today. · I had no problems using my Fandango App including snagging reserved seats. · Pricing was awesome especially for Top Gun. As a senior citizen, I paid about $12 bucks for a matinée ticket. · This is a mall theater, so parking was no big deal. Just make sure you drive around to the back of the mall to the main theater entrance. · This joint has received a makeover, so the lobby is spiffy. I passed on the beautiful concession stand as I detest 2ndmortgages! · My electronic ticket was read in about three seconds with no line. · Big, beautiful, spotless, electric recliner seats! · Very nice sound system but this brings up my 1stnegative. During some quiet spots in the movie, sound would bleed over from an adjoining auditorium. Annoying! · My 2nd negative, or maybe half a negative is that they are not IMAX. Overall, a very fine experience! BTW- Top Gun Maverick is summer escapism at it's very best. I had tears running down my cheeks when Val Kilmer appeared. You'll understand if you know what he has been enduring.

    Sitting in Mugs & Movie #8  were you can have a ice cold
    Eddie B.

    Mugs & Movie is great to watch a movie and enjoy a meal. They even have beer. Our Server was really nice and brought out our food real fast. The only negative is the sitting, after awhile the chairs get a little uncomfortable. Also if go between 4-5:30 you will pay matinee price of $5.75 Now thats a great deal!

    I don't write reviews. Not because I don't have anything to say about a place, but because other…read morepeople usually have already said it. In this case though, I'm making an exception because everyone in the Tampa Bay area needs to know about this gem. It's on the second floor of the parking garage at University Mall. Which means you need to navigate around what is left of the mall. There's a separate entrance so you don't have to set foot in the mall itself. The decor is Pee Wee's playhouse and is just as delightful as you would think it would be. They are the top of the game when it comes to special appearances (Kevin Smith was there for two nights, John Waters, Lydia Lunch, Amy Goodman and Todd Solondz have all done Q&As there, just to name a few. Will Oldham has one coming up in September before his performance on the other side of the bay) They show the blockbusters you can see everywhere, but they mix it in with indie films and documentaries that you would have to be in NYC or LA to see otherwise. They also specialize on showing movies on FILM. If you love watching actual film, this is the place that is showing the love! The ticket prices are cheap. The seats are comfortable. The staff is absolutely amazing. The food is far better (and affordable!) than it has any right to be at a movie theater, and they bring it to your seat. There are a TON of vegan options! Which is pretty rare when it comes to going to the movies. It's not just my favorite local movie theater; it's become one of my favorite places in the Tampa Bay region.

    This theater space has Gone Through It over the last 10-20 years. Like most malls, University has…read moremade loads of changes and is practically a ghost town while transitions happen and the theater often suffered. But Sun-Ray moving in definitely pushed it in the right direction. Now there are a few other ''dine-in" restaurants in the Tampa area and they're great, sure, but I don't want to donate plasma to be able to afford a movie and a meal. No worries about that at Sun-Ray! The food is insanely reasonably priced. No, the options aren't "heirloom tomato and burrata on a wagyu burger", but there are some really fun options and a LOT of vegetarian and vegan friendly choices. And the popcorn, man, I'd skip the movie and just come in to buy some popcorn. They have a make-your-own popcorn station for goodness sake. While one of those big chain theaters is charging you $3 for a sampler size of popcorn seasoning you can get at Walmart, Sun-Ray has an entire bar of seasonings, add ons, butters, oils... You can also load your popcorn in yourself so you can even layer the flavorings. It's ALSO super reasonably priced with one free refill included! They do also have cocktails and mocktails to enjoy your movie with a bit of fun, and they do specials to add to the bigger movies. As for inside the theater, I read a few people complain that the seats don't recline. I'm honestly okay with that because, you know...eating. And the chairs are super plush, the kind you just sink in and nestle into. I love that a lot. The spacing was pretty comfortable, lots of room for guests and servers to walk in front of you. I also really liked that instead of Big Corporation Showings before the trailers start, they were showing fun videos and local ads. To be entirely honest, I'm not likely to go back to those big name theaters very often now. I'm hooked. (And not just for the popcorn but honestly, mostly the popcorn)

It was a great experience as it was easy to buy tickets on-line and check in once we got there. The theater was very clean and they have plenty of snacks and drink to offer at a theater price point, but still how can you pass up popcorn with a good movie. Sound and projection of the movie was great. This will be our go to the next time something comes out we want to see in the theater! 5 stars for the staff also! Very friendly and helpful!!! In case you are wondering we went to see Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu.

    This is our new favorite movie theater. We have seen a few movies here so far and every experience…read morehas been wonderful. The theatre is always very presentable and clean. You cannot reserve a seat, it's first come first serve. However I will say this theatre is never too busy and we have always found a great seat. You can buy your tickets in advance online or in person at concessions. They also have a rewards program with all purchases. Ticket prices are pretty standard but they do have really great specials, such as $5 tickets on Tuesday's. The concessions are similar to any other theatre. One thing that makes this theatre stand out is the nice seasoning station including nacho cheese, white cheddar and kettle corn. Comfort wise the theatres are very classically decorated with velvet walls. I feel it models a more old fashion look which is charming. The seats do not recline but they are comfortable. Apparently in the future they are having recliner chairs installed. That's very exciting. Overall we really like this theater and despite living in Cocoa and having a little drive, we really enjoy coming here. Can't wait for our next family movie.

However, I could not. give five stars because I think when you get food delivered to your seat, you should also have napkins and silverware delivered.

If our food came with napkins and plastic forks and knives, then I could've given a five.

Not to mention, the movie screen was yellowed out and the speaker quality was beyond horrible. Everything was way too expensive and the service was absolutely terrible. The theaters were not clean, popcorn bags scattered all over the floor, the seats and floors were sticky, the pillows were stained, and there were bugs EVERYWHERE! The food tasted like baby puke and rotting garbage and everyone was so rude! Your supposed "friendly" staff was laughing at me and my friend and actively avoiding us and not taking our orders. The atmosphere in the theater was absolutely horrid, what you call "luxury" is laughable. Are roaches luxury? Maybe the disgusting, dirty bathrooms? I don't think so. I think this establishment should be shut down and demolished. This fills me with so much rage I cannot even express how angry I am. This theater is as disappointing as it looks, I wouldn't be surprised if I caught some sort of incurable disease from your nasty, disgusting, revolting, gross, sickening, nauseating, and repulsive "establishment". This was not a "luxury" experience by any stretch. Poor service, poorly trained staff, and cheap presentation. No one would notice or care if this place shut down, it's better hidden where it belongs. Outdated is an understatement, it was like I was walking back in time to the 1800's. My advice? Do NOT come here, you are better off watching paint dry than coming to this NIGHTMARE of a "movie theater", you can't even call it a movie theater. A better word for it is "mistake". Only come here if you want to be disappointed and upset.

    This was our first visit as a family of four (two adults and two children), and we were genuinely…read moreexcited to make Touchstar our new family theater. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing from beginning to end. First, your website advertised that on Wednesdays you could "bring a bucket" and receive up to 84 oz. of free popcorn. We brought our popcorn buckets based on that advertisement, only to be handed a small bag of popcorn that was nowhere near what was advertised. We ended up taking our buckets back out to the car because they served no purpose. Next, after getting settled into our seats, a theater attendant came through handing out menus. Two members of our family have severe food allergies and gluten intolerance, so we routinely bring allergy-safe snacks with us everywhere, including restaurants. When the attendant told us outside food wasn't allowed, I explained our medical dietary restrictions and asked whether there was a gluten-free menu or a certified gluten-free kitchen. His response was simply that he didn't know. He then informed us that we were not allowed to order using the QR code at our seats and that we had to order through him only. When it came time to pay, he handed me the credit card terminal with a 20% tip already selected. I was never given the opportunity to choose my own tip amount. I felt extremely uncomfortable that a gratuity was effectively chosen for me without my consent. The interaction itself also left a lot to be desired. The attendant was abrupt, rushed us through ordering, and spoke so sternly that it actually frightened my 11-year-old daughter. We left the interaction feeling more like an inconvenience than valued customers. Unfortunately, the food was even more disappointing. I ordered the chicken tacos, which were advertised as including chicken, cilantro, onion, cheese, salsa, and a lime wedge. Instead, I received tacos with very little chicken and missing almost every advertised topping. There was no cilantro, no salsa, no lime wedge, and I didn't receive the sour cream I requested. (I'll attach a photo.) When I asked whether I had accidentally been given someone else's order, I was told they were simply out of cilantro, salsa, and limes. Rather than offering an alternative or notifying me before serving the meal, I was brought back the exact same plate with only a side of sour cream. For $13.99, the portion of chicken was also extremely small. I honestly felt misled by what was advertised versus what was served. To make matters worse, the attendant walked through the entire theater telling every customer they could not go to the front counter to order food and that all orders had to go through him because he was getting off shift and no one else would be available to take orders. That seemed like an operational issue that shouldn't have been passed on to customers. Overall, this experience was disappointing enough that we're questioning whether we'll return. I would appreciate being contacted by a member of management to discuss what happened, especially the misleading popcorn promotion, the forced ordering process, the automatically selected 20% tip, and the poor quality and inaccurate food order. We truly wanted this to become our family's regular theater, but our first experience fell far short of expectations.
