Though its simple diner / dive bar type of food, everything was yummy. Someone called out so they were short staffed but it was worth the wait . We tried just about everything .

Though they were bearable it could've been a little cleaner .

Parking nearby in the public lot was convenient as was buying tickets online. $15 total for 3 matinee tickets was affordable in today's economy.

That is fine to us as everything else is worth it. Friendly and helpful staff. Refills on popcorn and drinks. They have all of the white cheddar, caramel, etc popcorn flavors in individual packets so you can still enjoy them if you ask. Consessions include candy, nachos, pretzels, hotdogs, etc. Bathrooms are always clean. Two big on side and one small behind inside theatre entry. Screen and sound incredible!. Removable arms to seats if needed. I saved the most important detail for last - affordable ticket prices! (Reward program in points if you buy a card for trancations. You have to ask about that on the inside. Photo Booth also available if you need to save the moment for $5.)

I paid $9 for my ticket on a Saturday evening and $9 for popcorn and a fountain drink - fair. Right after the previews the screen paused and we had to call the attendant to start it again, but it was smooth sailing after that. I had the same experience the last time I went to a theater in Pineville, not quite sure why this keeps happening to me. Lol

Compared to Birkdale, this theater is amazing and feels much more updated. The theaters have comfortable reclining chairs, and they have a great selection of food, drinks, and even spirits, which I rarely see offered at movie theaters around here.

Offering better amenities & cheaper admission prices. I really enjoy coming to this AmStar by Santikos Mooresville location and have been for many years. The staff are always very kind & helpful, & the reclining chairs in the auditorium are the best in the area. There's plenty of room to get in & out of the aisles also. I adore the well lit & vivid colors of the lobby, white & lime green (my favorite color)! This theater has been properly kept up with & reasonably updated over the last 5-6 years. Earlier this year, they finally got the Coca-Cola Free-Style machines & they also now have super cool self serve popcorn machines. Popcorn, Soda, and ICEES are ALL REFILLABLE regardless of the size you order. The ticket prices are also reasonable given the updates made recently (and still less expensive than Regal Birkdale). Just saying! There could be some better "real-food" options, but other than that AmStar by Santikos Mooresville is currently the best theater for a movie going experience (aside from the AMC's at the malls) in the Lake Norman area! (Note: Photos of the lobby & auditoriums are from Halloween 2025 & the photos of the Coca-Cola Freestyle machines & self serve popcorn machine are from February 2026).

How I managed to live in North Carolina this long and not know we had a Cheerwine Festival is mind…read moreboggling to me. This was my first year attending the event. It was advertised that you could take a train to Salisbury, NC and then the festival was in walking distance. If you drove, you'd have to look for parking in the area and walk to the event. My friend and I arrived around noon. This. Was a good time, but in the fire I'd ago In my opinion they spaced out the different vendors well so it wasn't too crowded. You were able to move through the areas easily. At times, you would have to wait for people to move, but this is expected with any festival. I liked that their website listed the vendor participating and if the vendor created a Cheerwine themed item/dish. I believe it would've ben helpful it their website also included a map of where each vendor was so you could head to the vendor you wanted immediately. There was a main location at the festival that sold Cheerwine merchandise such as: beach towels, stickers, hats, t-shirts, and displays. They had a cash and card line. Some vendors took cash, but not all so it is good to have both on you. There were live performances occurring in their center city park. I was not prepared well for the event as I literally decided to go day of. In the future I'll make sure to pack a lawn towel or small chair to sit in the park and come earlier in the day when the event first starts so it's not as hot outside.

Bottom line: The Cheerwine Festival in Salisbury is a busy and popular street festival to celebrate…read morethe regional soft drink favorite. Saw lots of Cheerwine merch/logos everywhere but not Cheerwine itself. This festival is extremely crowded and there are long lines for absolutely everything, do know that going into this one. Bring cash, you'll need it. The Deets: My friends and I made plans to hit the The Cheerwine Festival in Salisbury, NC this year. Cheerwine is a local/regional soft drink favorite, a black cherry flavored soda. Cheerwine has been made since 1917 and has been produced by the same family in North Carolina for all those years (big accomplishment in the food/beverage industry). I've been a Cheerwine fan since childhood so I was up for going to a festival bearing its name. We went down and back on Amtrak as there is a train station near to the downtown area the festival is held. I recommend going by train if possible as finding parking is not that easy for this event. Salisbury is not a huge town so you would expect that to be so. If you are not a fan of big crowds and long lines, then this festival is not for you. This festival is very "people-y" and there are long lines for EVERYTHING...food, beer/beverages, merchandise, craft/art/novelty items, cash machines (bring cash, most things here are not cheap)...everything. Of course the sound stage had a crowd around it as well. We even ducked into a local bottle shop to find some peace (see my prior review for this business) which we indeed found. My pics I took are from a pocket of peace I found outside of the crowded area. Of note, I did see that there were plenty of port-a-potties everywhere, even down alleys between buildings. While I saw Cheerwine logos and merchandise a-plenty at the festival, I really can't recall seeing any actual Cheerwine itself. Sad face. Lots of beer opportunities...not Cheerwine though. If you love those crowded street festivals, this event is your golden ticket. I found it was great to visit and experience but I'm not sure I would go out of my way to come back again.

I also had an issue with the seat. The lights on my seat controls did not stay on, which made it difficult to lower the seat when other customers needed to get to their seats. In addition, the seat does not retract quickly enough to provide easy walking access for people passing by. Overall, the seating design could be improved to make it easier and more convenient for customers to get to and from their seats.
