    Reclining seats.
    Wendy K.

    The service here is always good. I got a really good cookie and the seats are always so comfortable. I love the reclining Cher's here.

    Seats seriously need reupholstering

    Comfy seats that have a good recline but seriously need some reupholstering. I like how these seats recline further back and are well padded but with the lights on they look like they like they should be at a junk yard. The theater I was in 1/2 the seating is dbox and the other half is not. The dbox seating is in the back half and the regular recline is in the front half. Popcorn was stale as usual in these multiplexes so might skip and save $10. They have icees which is always a treat. The theater is kept pretty clean and if you go midweek you might get the screen all to yourself.

    My family spent $85 on tickets thinking we were getting seats like the pictures in the reviews. We couldn't have been more deceived. Just look at these seats, so disgusting. I understand basic wear and tear, but this is not worth the $85 we spent. Save your money or at least spend it where the seats aren't falling apart.

    Movie was great! (Deadpool+Wolverine) Popcorn was old. The theater room was warm and we had to tell the staff to turn AC on. (Felt like it wasn't). The staff was arguing in front of us. Not serious but unnecessary for us to hear. Love the seats! Soft leather and the reclining seats were good. Clean restroom.

    The seats here are so comfortable and they recline. I didn't know that before arriving.  And, even sitting in the back row, the view of the screen is great. The theatre is clean and modern and has multiple screens. The concession stand will sell you the pre-requisite over-priced popcorn along with candy and cookies.  But you don't have to settle for soft drinks; beer and wine is available here too. There is a large parking lot, which was great, but it wasn't lit well-enough at night. Also, to note, tickets are purchased inside. The original ticket windows just have notices and the movie times in them.

    Came here for a pre-release screening of A Million Miles Away (which I very highly recommend). But this review is of the theater. It's clean and modern looking. The staff were extremely friendly. The beer was cold (a full point of Electric Jellyfish Hazy IPA). The restrooms were clean. We arrived at noon on a Saturday and the lines were very short. In the theater, the aisles are spacious. There are no bad seats. Each seat has a table and drink holder, and a button that allows you to partially or fully recline. The sound was good. We were happy. I don't know that they offer the latest for cutting edge special effects movies like IMAX 3D, etc. But for most movies this place is perfect. And they also offer classic movie favorites at a great price mid-week, like The Terminator for just $5 :-) In short, this is my kind of theater. Not a place to have dinner. Not a noisy, over-crowded metroplex filled with large crowds and very long lines. There's no bowling alley here. No arcade or pool hall. It's just a really nice place to see a movie in a comfy chair, with some nice popcorn or snacks, coupled with a soda or an alcoholic beverage. Nice!

    Never been here before but got the chance to since we got some guest passes. Please to say i was very much impressed! It wasnt too busy so the theater was not full at all, and no complaint about that! The chairs there are so comfortable i almost fell asleep during my movie. They only have your usual movie snacks, not any full entree meals like other places do but thats okay! Nice and simple. Theater and lobby were very clean as well as the bathrooms. We will be returning for sure!

    This is an OK theater. Not one of those modern ones that has special screen and audio options and also a big set of food and drinks options. It is a smaller theater with standard food options (popcorn, tenders, nachos etc) that gets the job done. Friendly staff.

    At the movie premiere of A Million Miles. Go see it! You'll be glad you did.

It's always clean and the people working there are so nice and it makes a difference in the whole vibe of the place. They have a good drinks menu and food too. The recliners are comfortable, but they do run a little short. My feet hang off the end and I'm only 5'7". Thankfully they offer cozy blankets, which I love and definitely helps. Service is easy and convenient. You can push a button if you need something or just order from your phone without missing anything. The lobby is also a nice place to hang out before or after your movie with a full bar, a pool table, and plenty of family games to play. Prices are pretty comparable to other theaters of the kind, so it doesn't feel like a big splurge. Just a really enjoyable spot for a movie night.

By the time I found my seat, the lights went out right as I settled in. From there, it was much harder than it needed to be to just order a cup of coffee. Three stars is for the design. I could not use my phone to scan the QR code to order the coffee because it was dark. I pressed the button and waited forever for someone to come and take my order. Then my friend arrived and went through the exact same thing. Even when I did finally get a menu on my phone, it was overcomplicated to order. Seems like something that should be easy by now. Considering the number of other theaters that do in seat ordering. I'd go back and perhaps have a better time now that I know the lay the land.

    I rarely go to the movies these days because "the way my bank account is set up..." (in my Kevin…read moreHart voice)! So when I got invited to a screening last Tuesday for a movie I'd been wanting to see, I jumped at the chance. I was surprised and genuinely impressed by the recent renovations at Regal Gateway. The new reclining seats are super comfortable and fully recline. Each seat also has a rotating lap table with a cup holder, which made it easy to snack without balancing everything in my lap. I also appreciated being able to get in and out of my seat without shimmying past a fixed table. The updated layout gives every seat a great view of the screen too. If you're a Regal Crown Club member, Tuesdays have additional perks. Members get 50% off popcorn, and yes, I absolutely took advantage of that and grabbed a large popcorn. Don't forget the free refills. The only thing missing for me is clarified butter for the popcorn. That would absolutely elevate the experience. There's plenty of parking, the restrooms were clean, and they have a really good adult beverage selection. The staff has consistently been helpful about sharing specials, discounts, and upgrades I can use with my Regal Crown Club credits. Overall, this was a really enjoyable experience, and I'm looking forward to returning.

The seats are incredibly comfortable and recline farther than any others I've used at a theater. They go almost dangerously far back. If you're tired, you might actually fall asleep. The whole place feels clean, updated, and well maintained. If you wrote this theater off a while ago, it's worth giving it another shot. If you've never been, it's definitely worth checking out. Update: In my previous review, I mentioned some minor clutter issues around the concession area. The last time I went, it looked like they had cleaned that up.

I purchased movie tickets through my account as a gift for my brother and his girlfriend to celebrate something special. When they arrived, they were stopped at the concession stand and accused of committing fraud because the tickets were purchased on someone else's account. To be clear, I bought the tickets myself and sent them to them. There was absolutely nothing fraudulent about it. The employee who confronted them handled the situation in a very aggressive and unnecessary way. As an A-List member, I've never been questioned or harassed like this at the front concession stand. It felt like the situation was blown completely out of proportion. Instead of focusing on real issues, my family members were put in an uncomfortable and embarrassing position over tickets that were legitimately purchased. They did speak with the manager, Miguel, who was polite and tried to help, and I appreciate that. However, the situation still wasn't fully resolved and the tickets were not refunded despite the negative experience. AMC needs to make sure employees understand that tickets purchased through an account can be shared with friends or family. Customers shouldn't be accused of fraud for using tickets that were legitimately purchased. This was very disappointing, especially as a loyal A-List member.

You can order food and drinks via a QR code at your seat, which is a nice perk. I chose our seats and in retrospect, I should have selected seats in a higher row. The auditorium did not have a steep incline as I anticipated, however, the seats were fine. Unfortunately, I am not a fan of the communal bathrooms, which is the design at the Alamo Drafthouse. The good news is that you have a urinal or restroom option with associated signage. Like all movie theatres, the food and drinks are overpriced. In addition, you have pay a 18% service charge along with a tip. I ordered bottomless popcorn and unsweet tea and paid over $20. Interestingly, the popcorn came in a metal bowl...perhaps a sustainability measure. The popcorn was fresh and buttery. Now for the best part...we went to see the Devil Wear Prada 2.

I have had some really amazing experiences here coming to movie screenings over the years. You can order the tickets on the Alamo app but they charge a service fee that was nearly $7 for 3 tickets. So I waited until I got to the theater to purchase the tickets for our group. We went on Tuesday for $7 movie tickets. When someone in our party inadvertently bought an extra ticket, the staff quickly refunded my purchase and transferred the seat. The customer service here is great! The theaters are all upstairs and they have reclining seats. The seats do not recline back as far as I would like, but they are comfortable. We got to pick out our seats when purchasing the tickets. The new phone-based ordering system really takes away from the experience. One of the things that made Alamo special was the easy, low-disruption way of ordering during the movie. Now, having to use your phone feels distracting and honestly a bit inconvenient especially in a dark theater where you're trying to stay immersed in the film. On top of that, the added 18% service charge feels excessive, especially since the level of service has shifted more onto the customer with the new system. It doesn't quite add up. To make matters worse, the food prices have noticeably gone up. I don't mind paying for quality, but with the higher prices, added fees, and a less seamless experience, it just doesn't feel like the same value anymore. I spent nearly $40 for a Parmesan herb popcorn and a watermelon mezcal margarita. That is dinner pricing for movie concessions. I really hope they reconsider some of these changes, because this used to be one of my go-to theaters in Austin. Now I feel like I am being nicked and dimed for every little thing. If you don't close out your bill within 20 minutes, they auto close your tab and add 5% tip on top of the 18% service charge. This is really getting ridiculous and pricing people out.

This was the blue drink that's supposed to come with a black salt rim, but they no longer offer it, so regular salt was used instead.

The smallest popcorn they had was $9 and other food options were not very healthy and ranged from $12-18. I didn't end up ordering any food so cannot provide any feedback about that. I noticed they did have a bar area with some cocktails that looked appealing, but I didn't see a price point. The theater was very small and could not accommodate many people for a movie screening. However the seats were reclining and they did have a heating option which I have not seen at other theaters. I did see the option where you could order food and drink from the app and have it delivered to your seat. The seats were comfortable and I ended up sitting on the top row. The seats also have a rotating table that you can use to eat your concessions. Overall had a comfortable movie viewing experience, but I was just disappointed in the food price point.
