i'd be ok with only watching movies in this one theater indefinitely. coziest seats i've been in. one time my girlfriend fell asleep watching blackkklansman on me (borderline racist??). only problem is the armrest doesn't push all the way behind u which makes it kinda uncomfortable to cuddle- thankfully me and my baby can squeeze into one seat. saw infinity war with my friend and spider-verse with my hoe both early release here and was the best experience i could have had. dat bitch didn't collect any kisses during spidey though, that shit was too good to even look away for a second. i see most of my movies here or at the silverspot in chapel hill. expensive food but it's like that at every movie theater so whatever and my food is usually really good- it feels like a dedicated restaurant (that u can enjoy in a cozy seat with a good movie). never had someone tell me to not bring bags/drinks from outside and people working here are always really nice. the community is good too- i hardly ever have an annoying crowd, even (especially) at the superhero premieres i attend. also feels really good to be high here. excited 2 come back soon. 5 stars read more

We had one female cashier just tried to start fights with us. Got angry at us. Not like the seats we reserved. And yelled at us. And walked away in the middle of wait on us. To talk to a male customer. And when we asked a refund. She yelled at us"You not like the movie. Do you want a refund?" The seats are leather. And the prices are more expensive for food. Than other movie theaters. And the service not good at all. The theater was dirty and none of the employees would clean it up. The female employees at the food stand. Only nice to male customers. read more

Love the seats and staff is pleasant. My "goto" movie spot!

Since the remodel, this the the ONLY theater I go to. The seats are overstuffed and almost lie flat. The ability to assign specific seats, and see the theater map on line is so amazing. The food choices are great, and actually taste good. The only downside I can think of would be that the amount of seats has dropped due to the larger replacements. If you're going on the weekend, you need to purchase tickets a day before to get good, or any, seats. That does speak to the incredible popularity of this place now. I was a regular before the renovation, due to its practice of showing art house films, but now I don't have the excuse of seeing top 10 movies at other theaters with better seats. This is BY FAR, the best theater in Raleighwood. I've never posted a YELP review and did so just to show my love for Raleigh Grande. read more

Great Food, Great Staff, Great Renovations. The chairs are nice and comfortable. My new theater! Be sure to purchase tickets online in ADVANCE! read more

Awesome renovation!!! Leather recliners with individual tables. Good beer selection.

This is a gamechanger for me when it comes to going to the movies. I have rarely seen movies in theaters in recent years because it just doesn't seem worth the money. But the experience at the Raleigh Grande couldn't have been better. read more

Holy cow! The renovations are amazing. They did such a great job! This is going to be the most comfortable movie destination in raleigh for a long time to come!!! read more

It's stunning to think this is the same move theater I went to growing up. The new renovations were surely pricey but make the experience top notch. I won't go to another theater in the Triangle area. With a modicum of planning, you can snag the perfect seats with electronic reclining and footrests. The food options are a nice touch, too, in case you want something other than popcorn. It's not gourmet grub, but a big step above normal theater food. A+, Grande! read more

Loved the reserved seating tickets and the lounge chair seats are awesome with lots of leg room! Loved the fact I can enjoy a beverage with my movie. The bar prices weren't horrible. read more

I've been twice in two weeks! The recliners are great and you are no longer forced to sit basically on top of complete strangers! Will definitely be back! read more

This place is amazing! I really liked the theater set up with stadium seating reclining leather seats and trays for the food they offer. Food selection is typical popcorn and nachos to pizza. They also have a menu for beer and wine for adults. Sound and picture quality was great too. I can't say as I've ever had this good of a movie theater experience. read more

OMG- Has anyone else had such an experience? I bought tickets and dropped my teenage daughter and her friend off at the Raleigh Grande movie theatre box office early Friday evening and when I picked them up they told me they had had such a horrible experience. Apparently the movie theatre has converted their seats to assigned seating but the girl at the ticket box NEVER told us and the girls were rudely kicked out of seats twice until they figured it out but then there were people in their supposed assigned seats - front row, which they would never have picked - who wouldn't move because the theatre was oversold and they ended up having to sit on each other's lap sharing a single seat!! I was so mad I even drove back to complain and the manager said that as long as they got to see most of the movie that was good enough for him! I am so outraged and will NEVER step foot at the Raleigh Grande again! This type of arrangement is so atypical it should have been clearly advised at the box office. It was the equivalent of paying full price for squalor. read more

Like the other reviewers, Ive been here many times over the years and here is my advice. Show up when the movie is starting when the lights are really dim. The seats are gross. They are disgusting at best. Yes you can hear adjacent movies through the walls. The screen/sound is ok. The place desperately needs a makeover. read more

Love the seats! They fully recline and have a tray for eating. Definitely my preferred place to see a movie!

Best movie theatre in the area. Perfectly located across from Lynnwood Grill. Perfect casual date night location with beer, wine, and comfortable reclining seats. Word of the wise- order tickets in advance if going in a large group. Seats are assigned and there are fewer of them since they upgraded to the recliners. read more

I have been spoiled by this theater. I love the recliners, adult beverages, and food options. I think what I enjoy most about this place is that no one is kicking your seat and you are not right on top of anyone else. I went to another theater recently and I felt like a sardine. You also have room to move in the aisle should you need to go to the bathroom or get an additional drink or food item. I also like that you can reserve your seat online, huge plus. We go on Tuesday nights because they run a $6 ticket special. You cannot beat that price for all the amenities. I know that they recently were bought out so I hope the new owners continue this special. I will echo that the customer service should be picked up a little. A smile goes a long way as well as being friendly. I haven't experienced any downright rudeness, just a little bit of I really don't care that much. However, overall 4 to 4.5 stars for this place. read more

I used to go to the movies maybe twice a year. In the past 2 months, i've been here maybe six or seven times. The new setup with the electric recliners is outstanding! Mohammed is great help. The snack bar is a bit pricy, but it is all worth it. read more

Holy Cow!!! I can't believe we've never been to this movie theater. We'll never go anywhere else. Great seats, great food, and great service. And great prices. I easily would have paid more for the service and quality we got. We liked it so much, we saw our first movie there last night and ended up going back twice today. GREAT JOB!!! read more

The screens are old and the movies show up dark, especially in 3D. The manager said they knew and she was very nice but it did not seem like they had a plan to fix the dark movie problem. Too bad we will not be back. The theater is great other than the movies are hard to see. read more

Hello all! You may want to rethink your choice of venue before going to the Raleigh Grande. On July 12, 2016 my husband and I visited this theatre and someone from the isle in front of us threw a used condom in the air, it landed on the lady next me. The manager James Wagner sent someone in with a bottle of water in to clean the used condom's contents off the seat. I couldn't believe it. The Management didn't ask the couple that threw it to leave, but let them stay and enjoy the rest of the movie :( Additionally, my husband and I were there June 14th and I lost my burgundy FITBIT. I spoke to an employee Robert Hughes, he told me that he had it but it was at his house in storage and that I could contact them Thursday or Friday when he was back in so I could pick it up. I contacted the Raleigh Grande Friday to find out if it was there so I could pick it up but the manager James Wagner told me that Mr. Hughes was mistaken and they gave my FITBIT to someone else. Mr Wagner basically lied to me to cover their a!! because they gave my burgundy FITBIT to someone else :( I will never go to that theatre again, horrible experience both times. If you're looking for reclining seats there are other theatres Frank's and Cinebistro in Cary that will provide a better movie experience. Take care read more

can't beat this place! great location within walking distance from awesome food and they serve BEER! all of the concessions are very well priced compared to other theaters. read more

The newly renovated seating is excellent! Excited to see what the rest of the renovations will bring!

I really enjoy this theater. It is older building, so there are a few problems sometimes. But the staff is always helpful with any concerns you might have. I like the fact that it is locally owned. But because of this they don't have the huge budget to make repairs on little things...such as cleaning the stains out of some of their seats. I was in the lobby when I heard another customer ask for his money back because the seats were stained. Ummm...it is a movie theater, and people spill their food and drinks all the time. Not really fair to expect them to spend thousands of dollars on that, when they are such a small company. They are not on Fandango, but they are on Movietickets.com. So you are able to buy your tickets online. They aren't however in the newspaper anymore. Which for some is a con, but I never use the paper anymore. Sometimes I do hear another movie through the walls, but I have told the staff at the concession stand, and the problem was fixed. Like I said earlier the staff are very helpful. Their beer and wine selection is also pretty impressive, considering it's the only theater in Raleigh to offer beer and wine. I would recommend going here if you enjoy a more laid back experience. A place where you don't have to worry about long lines and rude people. If you don't mind an older theater with minor problems at time. If you are expecting Regal...don't go to the Raleigh Grande. They are not a corporation and are not run like a corporation. read more

This is the only theater in town I will attend unless there are extenuating circumstances forcing me to do otherwise .The one time there was a problem with the sound the manager refunded our money and gave us tickets for another movie . Yes , many of the seats are dirty--dress accordingly . Friends who eat popcorn as a separate food group buy gallon size buckets at the Raleigh Grande and have had no complaints ( popcorn is not my thing ). The reason I LOVE the Raleigh Grande is that it has true stadium seating . Which means you have the luxury of not being kicked in the back of the seat or having someone's feet up next to your head all through a movie . If its scary you can put the arm up and hide in your honey's lap . ( And by extension if you are a larger size person you can sit on two seats easily to accommodate your girth ). If you are vertically challenged there are seats that give one a good view . SO--if you are truly think other theater's communal seats are that much less covered in germs , like feeling like sardine packed into a can or the person who is always kicking other people's seats then by all means go to another theater in town ! read more

I've been in Raleigh about 3 years, but I've never been to this theater until recently. Before going to the movie of my choice I checked online for showtimes and saw an option to sign up for the email club, within a minutes, I received an email for free popcorn which I thought was rather cool. Upon walking in, I see they are renovating so I gave them the benefit of the doubt. I stopped by the concession stand to redeem my free popcorn. My printer is out of ink, but I figured, since the email is on my smartphone, and we are in the digital age, I can just show it to them on my phone, how wrong was I? The girl who helped me stated that I had to have a physical copy. That was very disappointing that my coupon wasn't honored. When I finally went to find my seat, I didn't want to sit down, I tried to find the seat that was the least stained. I saw there are efforts being made to renovate the place, but I'll wait until they are complete before I return. One more thing, PLEASE start accepting coupons on smartphone, not everyone has access to printers. read more
