I finally came this summer, when they were playing Barbie. We purchased tickets earlier in the day and ate dinner next door to make sure we got good seats. That turned out to be unnecessary, but they did mention that some showings had sold out recently. I recommend getting tickets earlier rather than later! You can purchase tickets online or in person. I loved the ambiance in the theater - from the gorgeous velvet curtains to the stars in the ceiling designed by an astronomy professor. So much history has been maintained while adding modern comfort. The popcorn is also tasty and they carry local soda.

The snack shack has a decent variety, and was manned by friendly staff. They also sell Cherry Bowl t-shirts in nice color options. Good: Pepperoni pizza, giant pretzel, huge pickles, cotton candy, and regular candy options. Could be better: Slushies are WAY too sweet! Next time I'll ask for only one pump of the syrup. The bathrooms were clean. Yay! Overall, it was a fun night. Even though I spent too much on food and t-shirts, it was sweet to share the retro drive-in experience with our child.

I thought their prices would be a bit more reasonable but was disappointed. Concessions were as expected, popcorn was cold and drinks somewhat warm. I had very high expectations from this place and was let down, unfortunately. Kids enjoyed the small playground they have, was glad for that. Still debating if my family and I should visit here again, we'll see.

Very clean theater, young but helpful staff, comfortable seats in the IMAX theater, very clean and…read moreproperly placed restrooms, and a good program for soft drinks (free refills). We are 'premier' AMC members, which is worthwhile. You get a 'special' line which bypass the non-premier members, although you have to more/less self-administrate being noticed at the head of the premier line. Discounts are generous, and the perks are worth the small fee to join. We purchase tickets in advance online, which allows a nice seat selection. I don't know how well the combined concession / ticket line works for those who do not do so. I suspect for those who do not purchase concessions, the resultant wait time might be longer....but it beats standing in two different lines. All told, Traverse is lucky to have a theater like this....it has 'big city' amenities in what really is just a small town.

Not only was the movie so loud my ears were ringing when we left, the dialog was drowned out by the volume.

The stage and acoustics were a delight, too. Thank you for being this seasonally appropriate, Celtic band, for the week before St. Patrick's day. Those of us who are 50%, or 100% Irish- we celebrate this holiday all week or all month! The band, Kennedy's Kitchen, said it was their third time at this venue. The attendance was pretty decent- the band joked that there must not have been any good basketball games on. Lol. Good mix of jokes, stories, songs with and w/out lyrics. Haunting melodies and lively jigs etc. Plus, this band played in the gym today for the students at the school where I work, and they played a luncheon time concert at our local community college. Way to spread goodwill!!! :)

The Cabbage Shed is a must visit!…read more I've been to Frankfort a few times but I was introduced to The Cabbage Shed during this recent visit. I was surprised it took so long to learn about this place! I visited during the warmer months so the outdoor patio was open. They have a DJ on the patio that allows you to request a song via submitting a song from the available vinyls. It was fun to look through the vinyls he had available and playing throwback songs. The Cabbage Shed is extremely popular so I highly recommend making a reservation, if possible. The outdoor sitting goes fast but they have ample indoor tables. My group was able to at least sit next to a window even though we were inside. The view on the patio is breathtaking! Even if you cannot sit outside, they'll let you step out to take a photo from the second floor if it's not too busy inside. I'm not sure if it's a requirement but every place in this area pour heavy handed. No complaints! I ordered the baked penne with sausage and it was unbelievable. I ordered this dish months ago and I still mention it anytime I reflect on my trip. The dish was flavorful and the ingredients tasted fresh. This was a relief because that's not the case for a lot of places nearby. I was easily able to get a a second meal out of my order. If I'm able to get at minimum two meals from my order it's always worth the price. I will definitely visit The Cabbage Shed during my future visits.
