Some are broken and almost disconnect from the floor, the beverage holders have no bottom, and some of the seats are dirty (the wife got a grease stain on her pants). On the positive side, the pitch is good so that you can see the screen without problem. The screen and sound were fine. We encountered problems with operations. First there was no sound, picture only, and later, there was video but no audio. Funny how people will sit and sit and sit waiting for someone else to get up and go tell someone.

It's a Hard No! Avoid the Waco Hippodrome theater if you desire to do a performance here…read more Our non-profit was going to be doing a performance sometime this summer 2025 and I reached out to this venue right after the holidays sometime in February I believe. I wasn't asking for much just to be able to come by and see the possible space that we would be using and get the particulars on how much it would cost us or if it would take a percentage of the ticket sales that kind of thing. Several days went by without a response. So I actually called and got The Lovable Miss Congeniality herself Michelle who was about as helpful as a snake bite in the desert with no medical. She explained to me there's only one person that can help me and that's aaron. Turns out it took another several days to total an exact week before he got back to me. I responded by both Facebook Messenger phone text email and it was still another 4 days. After that I gave him a few Choice words and said I would be looking elsewhere which I did. So I narrowed it down to a couple in the area but did not like the pricing from those other venues so I thought it would go back to Hippodrome one more time and give them a second chance...bad idea. This second time when I emailed unfortunately Aaron was up to his old tricks and after hours and hours from an email that I sent which I know we got cuz he's a younger guy he's younger people get their texts and emails instantly they look at them and then decide whether to respond or not. I'm quite certain he looked at it and decided again like he did back in February not to respond in a timely manner and thus we're pulling the plug on any hope with the hippodrome theater and leaving them this well-deserved bad review. As far as a spectator I saw the Eagles wanna group a few years ago... it's like a tribute group to the Eagles and we were up in the balcony and it wasn't very comfortable and you had to kind of see through either the beams or some of the hand railing. It wasn't a very pleasant experience up there in the balcony. Other reviews have said that the food really sucks and is horrible. I don't know about that I cannot comment on that. The physical location seems cool because its historic it is right downtown Waco but they're giving this Historic Landmark a huge black eye by having p*ss poor customer service, ...actually nonexistent customer service.

Clean, well set up theatre for movie watching, convenient for Temple area. Comfortable reclining…read moreseats, able to pick seats buying tickets in advance, also check out how crowded the theatre will be for your show. Reason for the lower rating, for a system that emphasizes/pushes you to purchase tickets in advance/online, the actual "getting to your seat" thing needs some work. Before, you could just walk to the kiosk going back to the screens, show the QR code on your phone, and that's it. This last time, no one on duty at the kiosk, all employees were working the concession stand, and you had to stand in line with the snack/popcorn/drink buyers to get into the theatre. Even had a sign saying check in at the concession counter. Sort of, "what's the point of advance tickets", if you have to wait behind all the snackers? The person checking me in had to physically leave the concession stand to go to the kiosk to let me in. Another reason to wait for things to stream.

Last…read moretime I was here was over 10 years ago for the drive in and my friends and I always enjoyed the experience. Returning now with my family for a matinee, I was surprised to see they have maintained the charm and affordability of this theater. It was $10.50 for the three of us plus another $10 for sodas and popcorn. Seating was comfortable and the sound and temperature were perfect. There are a few single seat bathrooms, inside, so recommend you don't come on a full bladder, but I give this five out of five for providing families and affordable movie experience with new releases. I will certainly return next time I'm in the area.

It was Twisters and A Quiet Zone Day one. We didn't make it to see QZ, it was 11pm, and got sleepy. The wind outside gave it a 4d Effect lol. Also, there was a major fire just on the other side of the highway with major smoke and flames. It took firefighters nearly half an hour to arrive, making us a little nervous as you can see it just to the right of the picture. Everything is just a little weird when there's a full moon out!

I went once with my entire family to see 101 Dalmatians and the whole theater smelled like pee. Like 10/10 walk into a room where kids must have been peeing on each other and everything else in the room. It's a funny story we tell at Christmas because for some reason we stayed and watched the whole movie anyway. Anyway... it's hard to give the Cliftex 5 stars... but life wouldn't be the same without it.

I've gone to small local theaters and the sits are sticky and floor is dirty, but this theater was very clean.
