    I finally made it back to this theater because it was the only Alamo location showing Coyote vs. Acme. The movie was at 6:20, and it was summer. It was SO HOT upstairs outside of the theaters. I wanted to sneak into a movie to cool down. Also, I realized that the individual theaters don't indicate what movies are showing. I hadn't realized how disappointing that could be. On top of this, the welcome at the service counter was lukewarm. I was clearly just another number heading upstairs.

    New theatre name: Matthew McConaughey Cinema & I'm here for it! Still enjoy seeing movies here even though the Alamo chain business practices with employees is questionable. Let's hope they get their sh*t together and do right by their workers. Especially now that MM's name graces the venue.

    This was my first time watching a movie at Alamo Drafthouse Mueller. While this was one of the smaller theatres I have frequented, it felt cozy and intimate. 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. Amazing movie with many salient themes... as a side note, I know every single line of the original Devil Wears Prada. Definitely will be watching this movie again...

    I've always enjoyed coming to Alamo Drafthouse Mueller, but my most recent visit left me pretty disappointed. 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.

    We had an amazing time at Alamo Drafthouse!! We saw the new Michael Jackson movie it was fantastic. Our server was friendly and quick when we needed drink refills. The margarita was very tasty. The little cartoon warning us to turn our phones off was hilarious. We had a great time!

    Love the concept as for me saves time to do dinner with the movie. Alamo Drafthouse is great. The the tater provided validated parking at the garage for 3.5 hours which is nice. This gives plenty of time before and after the movie. I've been several times typically buying my ticket day of in the Alamo app. Super easy to walk up the stairs to the theaters once you arrive and head straight to your seat. Tickets are checked once sat and be ready to provide a card for payment. Ordering is easy and for the most part comes out quick. I'm in love with their popcorn! The clarified butter really makes a difference. Pepperoni pizza is a fav as well all though sometimes the crust can't be hit or miss in the middle. Chicken sandwich also good and the soft baked pretzel. Sweet tea all the way! Tickets are dropped during the last 15-20 min. Sign and then you're on you way.

    As a theater itself, this place is fine. The food here is kind of sub par. The mozzarella sticks were just okay and the fish tacos were not that great. It had too much pickled onions and lotta lime. The breaded fish was kind of thin and not great breading. I won't order the tacos again. They also seemed to have forgotten our food 58 mins into the movie and we had to press the button to chase the order. The slushies though, were really good. Whiskey and banana chocolate go together really well. Best thing to do is eat before or after the movie. Cause there are a lot of better food places a walk away......unless the company event is paying for everything.

    I like going to Alamo for their strict no phones, no distractions, and no small kids policies. The fact that you can order actual food and drinks is great too, I like their boozy shakes. While watching F1 movie today, we had Whiskey Banana Split Shake and Cold Brew Turbo Shake. Taking one star off because we didn't get our food order for a little over an hour since ordering. Had to remind a service staff member about our food. Mozzarella sticks were just okay, arrived warm, not hot. Fish tacos were pretty good but a little overload on onions.

    Catch-22 Movie Poster

    An always great theatre with amazing atmosphere and staff. That being said, I want to highlight, particularly, how genius the new QR ordering system is. Although my phone has trouble picking up the dimly lit code, it's simple enough to ask a nearby patron to shine their phone light for me. Easy peasy! The exposition doesn't matter to most of us anyway. There is, however, a new problem unique to the Mueller location! The cell service is abysmal in Mueller, and Alamo Drafthouse's elegant solution is to graciously funnel guests onto their unencrypted public wifi network. To me, this shows a indominable commitment to helping the tech-savvy less fortunate. It's now easier than ever for some of the more determined patrons to access the financial information of anyone ordering this way (so everyone!). As someone who loves to donate but hates receiving praise for it, I really appreciate a system that may allow people more deserving than me to benefit from my bank card details anonymously. Another thing, I LOVE the new layer of audience participation Alamo has introduced by inviting patrons to police one another with their cell phones during the movie. It's nice when everyone gets to be both the problem and the solution. Finally, nothing completes the premium experience like getting a text from Alamo in the third act reminding me to close my tab. I've always felt the emotional climax of a film could use a small, administrative, interruption. 10 billion stars if I could. Ps. I got a great idea I'm willing to share... We should fully replace the pre-show anti-talking & texting warning with a live customer satisfaction survey everyone has to complete on their phones before the movie even starts. Feedback is invaluable.

    Is there enough room around the seats to get up and go to the bathroom without disturbing others in the row?

    Yes there's plenty! The servers have to walk up and down the aisle in front of the seats to deliver food/ take orders for perspective

We laughed, we clapped, we sang, we booed, "we" as in the whole audience participated in this interactive show. The kids that decided to sit on the floor in the front that night made the show so entertaining with their cheering and chanting... oh their parents taught them well! Legends of the West Dinner Theater is located just north of New Braunfels and just a few miles west of IH 35 off FM 306 & Hoffman Lane, take a left on Rolling Oaks Dr., pass by a few residences all the way down to the end of the road... then you drive right into Triple R Ranch. You pass by the rodeo arena, the stables, the plantation house, to the airport runway for parking. Once parked, you will be directed to the former airplane hanger which has since turned into a dinner theater. We checked in at the door, then stopped by the bar (as of now only beer and wine available), then proceeded to find a table to sit at (seating for 200!). We were told the brave ones sit in the front, so we did! I definitely suggest sitting as close as you can... just do it! Our meal was catered by Harmon's BBQ out of Cibolo which included brisket, chicken, beans, potato salad, all the fixins and iced tea. We walked through the line, then back to or table. The acoustic cowboy sang to us for about an hour for their preshow entertainment. This evening started out beautifully. The show we saw was their seasonal Halloween Spectacular which included a gang of Vampire Old West Outlaws which included my great uncle, the infamous John Wesley Hardin! One of the song and dance numbers was Michael Jackson's Thriller which started the show... it was very well done! Bravo! Ladies were called up to help play a game. Children were called up to become a part of the Vampire gang which also included story telling. The cast really gets the crowd involved in the story line.. we loved every minute of our time at the theater. The producer and main actors have all arrived in the Texas Hill Country after spending many years in California, and around the world, in the entertainment industry. Their long time friendship brought them back together to build this amazing adventure for all of us. We spent some time with them after the show and all are amazing people. Hubby and I are looking forward to seeing their annual Christmas show in Dec as well as their year around shows and events in the future... Hollywood comes to New Braunfels! *Note* my phone died big time, wouldn't charge and wouldn't turn on, so my apologies for the lack on photos at this event.

They told us they'd be right with us and were never right with us. We got to try our beers ultimately, but it was not efficient. I just wanted to make the right choice before ordering 20oz of it! As for the theater itself, the theater was clean, the movie was nice and clear, and the seats were comfortable recliners, which sometimes makes me feel like a fat chud when I recline, but I was cozy. We ordered two beers and a bowl of popcorn, and I just felt like they weren't as snappy as the San Antonio location. The majority of the popcorn was the tiny pieces at the bottom too. The beers were great. I got their Brewhaus while my girlfriend got their Coffee Porter. It was an overall good experience, though. The popcorn came out, the drinks were good, and the movie was great and started shortly after the advertised time. It's one of the better theaters in Williamson County.
