This was super fun but more pricey than we had prepared for. The food was actually better than expected and the menu is decent. The chairs were so comfortable. With only 16 chairs in each theater, it was also nice to not feel crowded. The footrest was a must for me being a short person. Without the footrest my feet dangled and didn't hit the floor. The chairs also felt clean. You should buy tickets ahead of time since the theaters are so small. Don't wait on tickets til you get there. Parking was really full but we managed to get a space as someone was leaving. Check-in was easy and the workers were nice. Tickets were about $20 each after tax. So let's get to the food. There are no prices on the website for food, so know it's high. Some entrees were around $16-18. I got a shrimp poboy for $22 that came with a decent sized side. There were quite a few shrimp on the poboy and I enjoyed it. The cookie a la mode was a bit overcooked, but still good. Also liked the shrimp and grits ok. Not the best I've had but not the worst. (I'm looking at you, Dauphins) Honestly the best part is ordering from the iPad and have a nice server bring it to your chair without missing the movie. Total for 2 appetizers, 2 entrees, 2 sodas, and one dessert was around $160. I'd rather Noja for that! If we came back, it would have to be for a special movie. We'd definitely eat somewhere else first to save money. But I like to try places at least once, and if you have the cash, this is the lux way to watch a movie in Mobile. read more

Although they advertise food made to order, the food isn't fresh or hot. I ordered the loaded fries. The queso was warm, but the fries were cold to the touch--almost as cold as my beverage. My opinion, excellent and comfortable movie choice but I'd wait until after I exit the location for a mediocre food choice. read more

I emailed and their response was they working on it! After researching online it seems this has been an ongoing issue AWHILE! Not just now. Meanwhile, the movie we wanted to watch is being filled up. It's bad enough during the movie food being delivered all throughout is distracting. They do try their best to duck but it's a lot especially when they're in and out many times during the movie. Worst part is when you're on the wrong end and they have to go right in front of you to deliver food to the next people and then they order 4 + x's during the movie :( The seating is very comfy and we love the small theater vibe. But be prepared for distractions. Well thought out plan, but needs revamping to have less distractions once the movie starts. Wish they would just set a rule of ordering within 15 minutes of seating and that's that. We went ahead got tickets to AMC since our points aren't currently working out. Also I cont read more

Comfortable seats. Easy to order food from iPads at seat. Nice overall. Only issue was parking was limited.

I would strongly not recommend ever purchasing tickets from this company due to their inflexible and no refund policy. I recently contacted them to get an exchange or refund due to severe inclement weather during a showtime and was told no refund would be issued and if my card credited back the ticket purchase, I would be banned from this theater. read more

Great movie experience with waiters bringing food and drinks to the big recliner chairs. But the grease being used to prepare food is basically rancid. I didn't know you could make fried food taste like shoe leather but the grease there can do it. Get some new grease, folks. read more

First time in this theater after receiving tickets Mission Impossible from a friend. The recliner seats are comfortable and there's enough room between you and your neighbor. The food was OK more like typical bar food. The beer is cold but at $6.00 a pop it better be. Service was good. Now let's talk about the movie Mission Impossible. Tom Cruise usually puts out some great action flicks but this one was drawn out and predictable. We left before the end of it. I hope you have better luck than me. read more

Food was mediocre at best. Prices were insanely high for what you are getting. I would have brought my own food from home if I would have known the food was bad and pricy. The other guests accompanying you are snobby, rude and entitled hence why they even come to this overpriced theater restaurant. The service and staff were great. read more

Best way to watch a movie! Staff was great the menu had a lot of options for dietary restrictions

It was an amazing experience! The movie-watching vibe was cozy and inviting, with comfy seats that made it easy to relax and enjoy the film. The outside might be a bit deceiving, but once you step inside, it's a pleasant surprise that adds to the charm. read more

My family & I have been there and tried the movie aspect of the Nexus and the food aspect of the nexus three times . The first time we weren't aware of the prices and told everyone just order what you want . 250.00 later ouch !! The next time we ordered for each person and it was much better 102.00 still pricy but for a snack /dinner with our movie we loved it ! Our third time it was just me and hubby and we just had popcorn and diet coke ! 30.00 ! greatest yet ! read more

Excellent date night venue. Kick back, place your order and prepare to enjoy yourself. They wait on you hand and foot. Don't forget to trip your server because he or she will definitely take excellent care of you! Need some extra sauce for the freshly cooked & served wing no problem just ask. Want some more tartar sauce for the shrimp. No problem. read more

There's not one bad seat in the building! From the barstools to the plush theatre seats, you're good here. Nexus has a great thing going! Aside from the movie-going experience and the stellar surround sound situation, the dining options are great also. I've tried the Asian salad, burger, and hand cut fries. All were pretty great. They also make a mean Bushwacker and Mudslide at the bar! You place your orders and call for service via iPad, and their system is pretty seamless. Yes, it's pricey, but I do believe it's appropriate considering the prices of a standard movie (w/ concessions) experience these days. For me, Nexus challenges status quo, and offers much more than any movie experience I've witnessed near and far. Salud! read more

Nexus Cinema is a much need addition to the entertainment sector of Mobile. I've lived in other places that had cinema dining years ago. Glad that we have one now. Pros: The friendly staff are a huge plus at Nexus. The guy at the ticket was very warm and welcoming. The bar area was neat and clean. A great place to have a drink after work or before a movie. The movie theater seats were plush, comfortable and clean (no smelly feet smells). Lastly, the food was good. Everything we ordered was very tasty. Cons: The food portion sizes were really small. It was ok for me but my guy was hungry after we left the movie. The costs at Nexus are pretty pricey as well. We spent about the exact amount of a night at Ruth's Chris after buying tickets, dinner & drinks. Lastly, NO military discounts. I love places that show the Vets some love. Overall I was very pleased and we will return but we probably will grab dinner before. read more

We just left and it was absolutely pleasant! The experience was so nice and the ordering was easy as pie!! 10 out of 10 would recommend! Everyone in the theater was hella respectful and it just added to the experience!! read more

Unique venue for theater in Mobile. Chairs are adjustable and so comfortable. The food is actually pretty good. Not your standard movie popcorn! A bit pricy but worth it. read more

Awesome concept to put a restaurant, bar & movie theater all in one. Food had mixed reviews from our family of 4 but overall it was good. Wish the reclining seats went back just a little more, was like sitting in. Recliner that couldn't lean all the way back. The delivery system of ordering everything you need from your seat is perfect! Easy day out for us. Price wasn't too bad. Spent about $25-30 each for food & sodas (no alcohol) plus $18 each for the movie. Was very convenient to have it all in one place. Movie screen was in perfect shape and sound system was great. Overall very happy with our visit. Highly recommend for an easy & relaxing night out! read more

Theater sound system excellent. Family of five all ordered different items, all excellent. read more

The food is basic but there are many items to choose from the menu. Staff members direct you to your seat in the theater. The chairs are extremely comfortable since you can recline and prop you feet up as you watch your movie. A little on the expensive side but you are paying for a more elevated movie watching experience. read more

Great place to watch a movie and have dinner at the same time. However, be careful if you are seeing a movie in Theater 3. There are steep steps leading into the theater and NO HANDRAILS! Last night my friend and I went to see a movie there and she fell leaving the theater. Luckily, she was not seriously hurt but she easily could have been. This is definitely negligence on the part of management and leaves Nexus open to litigation as well as leaving their patrons open to injury. read more

The food was good. This place is definitely the way to see a movie. The seating is very comfortable, you order from an iPad and they bring everything to you. I enjoyed the whole experience. A little pricey but you are paying for a better movie experience. I highly recommend. read more

July 2021 Went to go see Jungle Cruise w the family. While watching, the movie projector broke twice. The first time, we patiently waited for about 10 minutes for the staff to fix the problem. The movie restarted at a point several minutes before where we had left off. The second time, we patiently waited a bit longer. Again, we began again at a point earlier than where we left off. Due to the technical difficulties and re-watching portions already seen, a considerable amount of time was added to the overall experience. Indeed, one exiting couple mentioned having to amend/cancel their dinner plans. When the movie was over, a manager of some kind entered the auditorium and began blustering on about how "the power bill for running the projector is expensive" and how "maybe a lizard got up in there or something." What I found most noteworthy about the encounter was his unapologetic nature. He did not address the exiting patrons about how the projector issues effected their experience. He did not address how the time-cost had potentially affected patrons' plans for the rest of the evening. He did not address anything other than making sure the projector became operational again - likely so he could make money from the next movie showing. I sincerely hope there was nothing seriously wrong and the repairs were swift and lasting. Objectively speaking: The technical malfunctions made this an undesirable experience. I'll likely go back to afford Nexus the opportunity to prove this was not a fluke occurrence. Subjectively speaking: I don't see any appeal that is different from any other theater. read more

Been coming to this place exclusively for about 8 months now. I really enjoy being able to drink while watching a movie in a fancy chair. They advertise having tHe best theater sound in the industry and I would agree. The food selection is slowly changing. I still misss the brisket. Wine selection is nothing compared to Pour Baby. So I hope they get a larger selection with more high end wine choices. Movie selections are limited due to having only 3 screens but they catch most of what I want to see I come about weekly now. Oh. And the service is pretty darn good if you ask me. read more

This is an all around great experience the recliners are comfy and you are allowed to bring blankets. The iPad at your seat allows you to order concessions and a waiter or waitress brings it out to you. read more

Experience, seating facility is great. Cocktails and food are good. Service is polite-- a little slow but it was in fairness a Saturday night. Food is expensive. It's a great now and again treat and fabulous way to see a movie on a date. read more

The food and service was awesome . It's very relaxing when sit in their seating for the movie. They're very quick to get your order out to you! While you're in Mobile and looking for a night out at the movies.. I recommend Nexus! You will not be disappointed!!! read more

We are so spoiled by living near this place! I won't even go to another movie theater! The food is amazing, service is great, seats comfy. Nothing bad to say! read more

This was a great experience & close to home. I have experience a movie and dining experience on a larger scale, so this one was a bit of a culture shock. I must say, the service was great, and I would return again. The pricing was also pretty good. read more

Oh wow what a hidden gem!! Decided to check out Whitney Houston's new movie for 7 o'clock viewing on the first Friday it was out, decided to try the nexus dining cinema! The experience was top-tier. I would never go to a regular movie again I feel pampered and as close to home as I could, the ceiling was comfortable although it was quite chilly in the theater. The food was hot fresh and delicious. The menu offered a variety of foods, beverages, snacks, and alcoholic choices. My husband order the shrimp poboy fries. I ordered the bang, bang shrimp, a side salad, and a Keylime pie. Everything was quite delicious hot and fresh and quick. I will return soon it was a bit on the pricey side but I'll pay for the convenience. I like the fact of the one spot for a date movie dinner and dessert all in one place ideal for the older couples, the theater with intimate, small clean the chairs were comfortable almost to put you to sleep lol if you're not careful but the movie was good we were right up front, but we was not looking up at the screen. It was far enough back where we can relax and just watch it as normal. Great date night spot read more

Very nice intimate theater. Decent menu although the pulled pork was so salty it gave me a headache. Comfortable seats. Nice and efficient waiters. They ask for ID to see if you're 21 when you get your tickets (I prepaid through fandango) but they do not serve alcohol...and there were kids (accompanied by an adult) in the theater so I don't understand why they are carding people. Overall great experience. Edit: after reading the other review, apparently there is a real bar hidden upstairs. So alcohol can be purchased just not from your seat in the theater. read more

If you are in Mobile and seeking an intimate or quality Theater experience, look no further than Nexus Cinema Dining! Today my girlfriends and I viewed Marvel's Black Panther on the theaters main screen and our experience was second to non! From the dining options to the exquisite service provided by the staff, I'm thrilled to know Mobile offers such an establishment. With reclining style ultra plush chairs and individual iPad mini's for viewers to choose menu options, the service is swift and the food is MADE to ORDER. Worth mentioning that it's wise to purchase tickets in advance due to the capacity of the theater. Oh yeah, the popcorn is free. read more

Love it!! You sit in recliners and you have a tablet at your chair and you order through it and a server brings your food or drinks and keeps an eye on you throughout movie. No one is bothered by them walking around and waiting on us. Food was very good and inexpensive. The drinks are reasonably priced. I guess the only expensive thing was the cost to get in and that wasn't terrible. Staff is very nice! read more

So I went to see Infinity War with a friend and we decided to go here as we had never been and heard good things. I'll keep it simple. The good: -great facility -recliners are comfortable -sound and picture quality is fantastic -movie experience is A+ The bad: -every piece of advertising for this place I had come in contact with before going stated that popcorn was free. It's not -you have to pay about $4 for a "large" popcorn and It's actually smaller than AMC's small size popcorn -refills on drinks are not offered and if you want more, you have to buy another -their food is way too small of a portion for the price they are charging Overall, it's not bad, but it's not good either. Unless you just really want to experience the novelty of ordering overpriced food on an iPad in your theater, just go see a movie at a regular theater. read more

Nexus Cinema Dining - The "large" popcorn - Cinema Near Me - Mobile, Alabama

I will never watch a movie in another theater than this one again. If only I could give Nexus 6 stars because 5 is simply not enough. The prices are incredible, the same as you would spend at a regular theater and you get so much bang for your buck. Such a small, accommodating, intimate movie experience from the parking lot throughout. This is our second visit. We literally will go watch a movie we don't even care to see just to have a date night here. I order the crab cakes and Gouda grits. They are the absolute best crab cakes I've ever had. The food is reasonably priced, you never wait long at all for your order. The sound is impeccable in the theater and there isn't a bad seat in the house. We can watch movies for free at home but Nexus makes us want to get out again simply for the experience. I love love love this place. read more

Nexus is an experience that Mobile needed! The food was good and it's just fun to order off of an iPad. Pretty much all their food options don't make sounds when you chew. The best part of Nexus is having drinks delivered to you during the movie. It's a game changer for the movie experience. After watching a movie at nexus, it's hard to go back to normal movie theater. The price is so worth it for special occasions. It's barely more expensive than the AMC at night. read more

Decided to go on a date and take hubby out! Wanted to do something different so I heard about this movie theater called Nexus! I looked them up online and purchased tickets. First, ordering online was very easy, you get to pick your seats ahead of time so you already know where you should be seated. You have your choice of recliners or table tops. Once you get in you go to the ticket counter, show them your ID (because you get to eat and drink here they must know that your old enough to partake in the ordering), once then you live on to the movie floor of which ever studio you booked (there is only two). From there you find your seats or an assistant helps you find your seats. Once seated after the start time, a short ten minute segment comes on screen showing you how to order food and drinks and what kind of sound experience you will be having. After then the movie starts. Let me TELL YA!!! This was the BEST MOVIE EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE! We sat and when the movie started we ordered drinks first, they came immediately from our own personal server (they have many servers to make you feel like you have your very own waitress), we ordered food( appetizers and an entree...... bbq sliders and then Filet Mignon tips with sides) , then we ordered desert! When I tell you, WE ENJOYED ourselves to the fullest! It was for hubbys birthday and he said he had an amazing experience! By the time we left there we were so full, sleepy and yeh a little tipsy too cause the drinks are not meant for the weak! Lol,.... So if your looking for a different date night experience, a night to get out of the house with kids (I suggest feeding kids first cause it could get pricey with multiple kids) or just need to see a good movie this is the place to go. Price wise it was reasonable for us... the tickets were $16.50 and our food ( appetizers, entrees, desert and 2 alcohol drinks and 2 regular teas) our ticket was $80. And IT WAS WORTH IT!!!! Of course you can have a smaller ticket but it was hubby birthday so I splurged and let him try everything. Two weeks after that we went again and the ticket was only $26 for both of us with two alcohol drinks an appetizer and popcorn, so the ticket is what you make it. This is one of the best places in Mobile, whoever the owner is GOT IT RIGHT for this area! Awesome time! I was so excited I forgot to take pics! read more

I love this place, the appetizers are wonderful and the smaller size theaters make it very comfortable.

The service is great! The atmosphere is great! The food is just ok. But it is the only place you can drink a cocktail and watch a movie, so definitely will go back! read more

The customer service is non existent. Can't reach anybody, can't call them, and they don't update their website often so you end up getting screwed. The hours of operation is confusing and they don't open until right before the movie starts. And no refunds. It's a great theater but wow their customer service really lacks and caused me grief when I'm trying to plan out a movie but their website isnt kept up to date so wasted a ticket and lost $20. They need to explain their scheduling and movie times Better on the website. Good but could be great! read more

We went to Nexus to watch Napoleon, which is close to a 3 hour film. We were hoping it would be more comfortable for such a long movie, but my husband has back issues and the chair really made him uncomfortable and actually in pain. Yes, you can lean back in them and that's nice, but there isn't support otherwise as it's a cheaper chair. The projector is smaller too and the sound was not as nice. We ordered two drinks (one small), a small popcorn, and a slice of cake and it was $50. Food is always expensive at theaters but it is extra so here because of the service fee and then you need to tip. Drinks weren't that great and the cake was ok. I saw what other members of my family ordered and it didn't look great either. My husband & I both agreed we probably wouldn't care to come back. The concept is good but the main drawback was just how expensive it was, I don't need to pay $100 for sub-par food while I'm watching a movie. All of the employees were nice though. read more
