I want to love this local establishment in a historic building, but have been surprised by the poor service twice now. The first time we ever went there we were mocked for not knowing how it worked. We were there for my son's 6th birthday, but luckily kids are oblivious to that. We tried again and had a much better experience checking in as it was with a different gentleman, but unfortunately, we had a negative experience leaving. Our child accidentally spilled some food and we apologized to a different guy as we were leaving and he rolled his eyes at us and said "Jesus." We felt awful. I work with the public and if I spoke to someone like that, I would be fired. Anyway- I want to love it, and the building was beautiful and felt clean, but we can't justify going back. read more

Great food quaint atmosphere and. Ice theaters. Great beers on tap too. Service was fairly quick as well.

All the above are great ! Wonderful place for a movie and meal and a drink if you want!!

All the other reviews lay it out pretty clearly. Theres a lot of hatred in this establishment. Only a very specific clientele will feel welcome here and anyone else is treated with disdain. Unfortunate because this is a beautiful historic building. read more

Love odem!!! It's a gem! Getting to have dinner or real food while seeing a great movie in an intimate theater. It's my favorite place to watch a movie and grab a bite in Central Oregon. read more

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND The Odem theater and pub is my absolute favorite place to go in Central Oregon!! They serve local raised grass fed beef (no grains). Vegan options and excellent service! They bring your food into the theater so you can eat dinner while watching the movie and have flip up tables at every seat for ease of eating in the theater, or eating in the dining room is a great atmosphere also. The theater seats are SUPER comfortable! They have a full bar, and GREAT prices on food, drinks, popcorn and movie tickets. You can reserve movie tickets on line also. The service is outstanding, comfortable and has a great atmosphere. The people who work there are very accommodating like family. They're a family owned, and operated business, that is hands down the best in the area! read more

Weird out-of-place rude owner and son make the experience pretty awful to be honest. A not all that clean place but passable I guess. Not a diverse place and seemed from our one time visit to be unwelcoming to strangers of color or certain backgrounds. Half the clientele looked like they'd spent at least one tour in rehab. There's no question that some people will find that Odem Theater Pub to be a toxic atmosphere. read more

It is always a great experience to watch a movie and have a good meal. Can't wait to see the remodel completed.

Not even the first minute in the building the man talks with no respect. Didn't even start the movie and we didn't get our money back "56$" down the drain on some horrible people. read more

Odem Theater Pub - This man is rude and probably raciest! - Cinema Near Me - Redmond, Oregon

I love these guys, we've been going for years and it's our favorite theater on the planet. It's a small town MeMenamins. They're characters, and we love it. Totally fits the Redmond vibe and we feel like part of the family. If they are showing it, don't go anywhere else. Good food and great drinks. They serve Barley Brown's for Godsake! read more

Absolutely unhinged owner and son, the kind whose entire personality is supporting Trump. This is basically a theater catering the extreme MAGA crowd. They're super in your face about it, with hats and shirts really letting you know what they think. The place is grimy and old, one of the digital screens is bad. Seating is uncomfortable, there is little redeeming this local spot. They do sell beer which is nice. Attached are screenshots from their newsletter, so you know I'm not exaggerating anything here. read more

See all

the service was the worst me and my friend and our girlfriends went out to watch a movie and writhing the first couple of minutes of being there the guy was freaking out on me and my friend because he thought it was just me and my friend because our girlfriends were in the bathroom he asked if we wanted 2 tickets and my friend so actually can we do four and then the guy started bitching about having to do his job correctly and then after we spent 56$ he sat us in office chairs absolutely diabolical and not what we spent 56$ to do read more

Odem Theater Pub - the son of the owner that treats everyone like they are below him - Cinema Near Me - Redmond, Oregon

such a fun piece of history in downtown Redmond! my partner and I went here for the first time and we're all around very pleased with the experience. the small, quaint theatre made for a cozy feeling experience as it was - then you can order actual food (not just snacks) to be brought to your seat! The tickets for the show were very fairly priced and the staff really made the place feel warm and welcoming, would absolutely choose a place like this over a regular movie theater any day! read more

I love to support local and I was very excited to spend our first date night in nearly a year at a new (to us) local business. Unfortunately, the moment we made contact with the owner and his son (I'm gathering that's who he is from the previous reviews I failed to read before going), we felt like we weren't welcome. We ordered four fountain drinks but not before the son made every single one of us feel like we were a burden for even being there, let alone asking for a beverage. I regret coming here and I will tell everyone I know how terrible the service is. That's not even mentioning the disgusting condition this theater is in. The bathrooms, floors, walls, overall ambiance and smell, were all beyond gross. Avoid avoid avoid. read more

The nostalgia of the small town theater is lost, due to the terrible service. The owners son/bartender is rude and unpleasant. The place wasn't busy but he acted like we were bothering him. He makes people feel uncomfortable. The movie was good, the theater is fine, but i can't go back knowing that guy is profiting off of it. Certain jobs can allow for a rude attitude, running a movie theater is not one. People go there for a night out or time with their family, and hope to be treated kindly. Especially by ownership. This is not directed at the father, he was cool. If things change we would go back, we love to support local and enjoy dinner/movie. read more

I absolutely love the Odem and it's Owner! Great food, great atmosphere, and an owner that is awesome! Any time you can support a local businesses instead of a national corporation- do it! And, I can honestly say that Ted serves some of the best burgers that you can find- anywhere! There's a great beer selection too and a full bar. What more could you ask for? read more

Their online ticket app charged me even though i was never sent a email for a ticket.Go to the one in Sisters. It is far better.

The movie was great! The guy behind the counter was very short with me and rude. The place needs a good cleaning & my wife and I thought the drinks were watered down. read more

An excellent place to go with excellent food. This place is provided many of my best movie theater experiences ever. My extended family loves it as well as my wife and kids. I've seen people talk about politics and although I am not an enthusiastic Trump supporter I feel that you don't have to bash someone or give negative reviews of the place just because someone's political views are different. If you look at the negative reviews it seems that someone influential was bent out of shape politically. I don't know the owners so I can't vouch for them but if you look at the negative reviews they appear to be politically motivated read more

Ew! Filthy and smells like despair and bad decisions. The owner was incredibly self righteous and rude. He, and I think his son?, made the experience the dumpster fire that it was. The ambiance begins with his "cybertruck" parked outside the front door that has a huge sticker of an elderly man tied up and gagged on the back of it! It gets better as it continues inside with outdated and dusty decor, sticky floors and a bathroom that looks and smells like it has been neglected for months. Food was reheated, frozen in the middle and overpriced. If you want to experience going to a theater, do not waste your time or money at this joke of a place. There are plenty of places to spend your money in the area. Don't encourage this dump! read more

It is the only theater we go to. The owner and workers have ALWAYS! been great. Great food and drinks. It is a conservative vibe, welcome to Redmond, Oregon, but nothing that makes you feel unwelcome. If you are that insecure of yourself and lifestyle, then that is your problem. Do not ruin or bad mouth a business because it doesn't fit your agenda. People are people. Get over yourself and selfish ways. I fully recommend this place. read more

I get that employees need to deliver food to the guests, but it's a small theater. Every time that door opens it's very distracting. They probably came in 6 or 7 times during the movie, talking with the guests to deliver food. Also, the walls are thin. I could hear crying babies and foot stomping on the other side of the walls the entire movie. All of this would be fine if the theater was cheap, but $14 for a movie ticket only to be constantly distracted is terrible. Won't be coming back here. read more

Me and my family were there last weekend and really enjoyed the place, when I asked for management I told him the same thing but voiced my concern about the cleanliness of the bathroom I had just used, the owner in his own words became very irate and in his own words told me "I needed to piss the shit off the back of the toilet if I didn't like it" very unprofessional and my family and I won't be going back. Disgusting read more

This place needs serious cleaning. Hair, lint, dust, food on seats and under the seats. Bathrooms have pink rings in the toilets finger print's everywhere. It could be a cool place. Not going back til I hear it's been professionally cleaned. We use to be in weekly not sure what happened. read more

it was dumb gross and over all embarrassing establishment . dirty , awful conversations and just an uncomfortable place to be

Right minded folks who are pleasant, accommodating and professional (if you're not an entitled wokie). Thanks for keeping the spirit of a terrific small town theater alive and well. Good beer and snacks. Enjoy! read more

Love the changes they are making. It's clean, the service is excellent, and the food is outstanding. Had a burger and fries and it was a delicious meal. They have new drinks and different kinds of popcorn like cheddar cheese and caramel corn, along with the classic movie theater stuff. And Robert is the best. He served everyone with a smile and answered all of our questions. So pleased with the positive changes! Saw a good movie, too! read more

We'd been here a couple times to watch movies and really liked it. It's a nice atmosphere. Very chill. The staff is very friendly. We went there today and for the first time ordered food, and OMG I'm still thinking about that burger!! We just wanted something small so we shared the Odem burger. It was sooooo good!!! We're going back tomorrow to watch Free Guy and I'm having another one of those burgers! read more

I have been going to this establishment for years and I absolutely loved it. Last weekend I decided to take my mom out to enjoy a funny movie and have some food. The person behind the counter (Evan from what I understand from previous reviews, but cannot be too sure) rudely called us over stating "if you want to order food, you have to do it here!" as if we weren't moving quick enough to get the order placed. I reacted impulsively by telling him "sorry" very abruptly. I apologize for my part in that. But he then proceeded to ask me "did I strike a nerve!?" I was flabbergasted. He was very short with us and I had the feeling that he just wanted to argue and continue to treat us with no respect. This was the worst customer service I've received in a very long time from anyone. The other owner, Ted , saw the entire thing and did not say anything about the behavior. I was actually somewhat frightened. I stopped the interaction and ordered some beverages. I was scared to order the food I wanted, so I didn't. I was afraid to ask for a refund or I wouldn't have ordered anything at all. I was humiliated by the server. Everyone in the waiting area was staring at my mother and I (I think in disbelief). The state of the establishment seems to have gone way downhill as well. It was very dirty. I enjoyed the movie, but I will not be returning to this movie theater. That makes me very sad to say because I frequented this spot a lot. I hope things turn around and that the people who own it make some positive changes. read more

I really want to like this place but they seriously need help with their food. The pizza is super salty and flimsy, burgers are always over cooked, lacking flavor and variety of texture, fries are NEVER crunchy and always soft, and to top it off the son of the owner is kind of a jerk to customers sometimes. It's cool to have a dine in theater in Redmond but they could do so much better. If they improve I would be happy to remove/ improve my rating. read more

My wife and I love the experience of going to this special little old movie theater in downtown Redmond. The food is great, and they have drinks, and they bring it to you at your seat in the theater. The high-back theater seats are very comfortable. Supporting this business in downtown Redmond feels good and a good experience. read more

Was excited to go visit Odem for the first time. Unfortunately we won't be back. My $20 Philly cheesesteak was inedible... tasted like the meat was bad. Place is very dirty. Took young kids to a PG movie but all the previews had graphic sex, drugs & violence/killing. read more

Yay!!! Saw out first movie here and loved the experience. Nice and clean dining area, friendly informative staff and delicious snacks, meals and beverages on the menu. They host movies from a wide variety of genres and keep the scene current and happenin'. The theater was clean and well taken care of. Psst... you can eat and drink in the theater! The movie was fantastic, it even had that old school "let's all go to the lobby" sing and dance commercial before the movie. Bathrooms we're neat and tidy and the decor was spot on! Get your butt down here and see a movie, have a drink or get a meal. Odem is a great addition to Redmond and the downtown scene. Plus it is another reason to stay out past 10:00 PM even on a school night! Watch out McMenimans, Odem theater is in town. read more

Odem Theater Pub - Time for a flick! - Cinema Near Me - Redmond, Oregon

Great little theatre, comfortable clean chairs, and the food is usually great. Full bar even! And doing it as well as they do, with a skeleton crew most days, is impressive. They bring the food right to your seat and even supply sturdy metal tables for food and drink. Thanks for being a great neighborhood experience! read more

Good food, nice theater. I just wish I never signed up for the dude's email list, because boy does he love to get political.

My family went to this theater to celebrate my husband and son's birthday. My son has Down Syndrome and we were told this was a great small theater to try. The show was great, the the seats were awesome, however the horrific customer service ,including my son being Yelled at by the guy taking our food order, and the theft is why we will never return. The guy that helped us was Beyond rude and a thief. He added a $5 dollar tip for himself on my card that I now have to fight. Receipt shows I signed for $29 but my bank paid out $34. Check your receipts and bank statements to make sure they match!! If you have kids with special needs I would say never take them here! read more

We love coming to your theater, the conversations with the owners and look forward to the 2024 lineup for our monthly visits to our favorite little dinner and movie hub! read more

They have a sign on the door that says something like "No masks required. They are worthless." Such a public disregard for safety and ignorance is disgusting and disrespectful to people affected by COVID. Our family just moved here and they told me if I don't like the policy to go back to where we came from. WTF?? read more

Food is amazing. Staff is fabulous. They even gave gluten free options. Highly recommend.

Great find, Watched a movie and had dinner A+ service, and very affordable Thanks again, Jeff read more
