Seriously, it was so good -- sweet, fruity, and super refreshing. We also ordered pizza for the whole family, and it did not disappoint.

It's one of those places where you could easily spend an afternoon. Highly recommend if you're anywhere near the area

We had reservations for a couple of pizzas. We tasted a couple of flights of wine and when our…read morepizza was brought up to us an unleashed dog got in between us begging for food. Pretty much had to move the chairs closer so it could not get in between us as we were trying to eat our pizza. Just when the dog left I look in front of our table and there is a man with a bag of dog crap right in front of us waiting for his dog to pee in the grass. Wow!! Pretty damn gross. If you want dogs roaming off leash and multiple people walking around with bags of crap waiting for their dog to pee this is a place for you.

Located across the street from my hotel for the week (Hampton Inn)…read more Don't be deceived by its older style and outward appearance...The inside has a kiosk for purchasing tickets yourself, but also a staffed box office as well. Best of all, the seats are modern cushioned recliners. So comfy! You can order tickets in advance online but of course that comes with an online fee too. $5.50 for Tuesday night showings is a steal! All movies, all day, with an additional charge for 3D movies. Also on Tuesdays, get a free 44oz popcorn with the purchase of any drink! Caught a Tuesday evening showing of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse which I would say had the theater more than half full. They were also showing Little Mermaid, Transformers, and Guardians of the Galaxy, and had ads for Elemental. No complaints at all with the movie projection/sound, cleanliness of the place, etc. Must be summer vacation and was also a good way to escape the Canadian wildfire smoke that week.

Snacks during intermission that you could pre-order so you didn't have to stand in line. Design kind of felt like a church or an ark. Tickets are $25 for adults and $23 for seniors and children. Show was: Church basement ladies rise up o men. I didn't realize the actors weren't local, they are from the cities. The show has been running for quite some time this is the sixth version so they know what they're doing. Very funny show, my 13-year-old laughed her head off and Ioved the suggestive humor. The 10-year-old was a little bored. If we're ever in town again we will definitely come again!
