I went with my grandson and the food was terrible. Everything was so cold. I would not be eating there again.

We really love this movie theater! It's super nice to have a full bar and restaurant as well as wait staff to your movie seat! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I wish the seats reclined more but that is my only complaint.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My favorites are the nachos and warm chocolate chip cookies! read more

Studio Movie Grill - Cinema Near Me - Seminole, Florida

This is my second time watching a movie at SMG of Seminole & it was a disappointing experience. Service was decent, but the food was not good. I ordered a sweet tea which was had way too much sugar in it!! We ordered the special "Dinner for 2 Deal" which is listed as $35.00 with the option to add dessert for $5.00 more. The appetizer, pretzel bites came out fine with proper temperature. I ordered the new Southwest Chicken Sub with a side of tots. The tots and entire sandwich were cold!!! My girlfriend ordered the quesadilla with a side of tots as well and her tots also were ice cold! I called for the server and told them about my cold tots & sandwich. They said they would put a rush in to replace my meal. I received a new side of tots and sandwich. The sandwich bread was hot, but the chicken filling was cold!! Not sure why it came out that way, but I lost my appetite by that time!! We received the bill at the end of the movie and I spoke to a manager about my food being cold and the side of tots what were with the other entree. The manager then took my entree (chicken sub) off the bill which was fine. The issue I have after that is since they removed my entree, they said that the Dinner for 2 deal didn't apply anymore so they charged full price for the other entree, appetizer & dessert which in my opinion is not the right thing to do. Because of their poor food handling being not at proper temperature, they stick it to you at the wallet!!! Bad business practices!!! The food already is overpriced for what it is, but this was absolutely ridiculous!! After the 18% automatic tip, the total came to just shy of $60.00!!! I don't recommend dining here at all due to our experience!! Hopefully they will read this and make changes so others don't have to go through the same mistake on their end. read more

I gave Studio Movie Grill two stars. The promo wasn't clearly communicated--we thought something was included, but when it came time to pay, the pricing was way off. The manager tried breaking it down, but it didn't add up. The night ended up costing nearly $100, not even counting tickets. Usually, the staff is great, and I've had better visits since. Still, they need to be crystal clear on what's included before orders are placed! read more

This is a well priced theater with a cool opportunity for dine-in. That being said, it lacks the bells and whistles of most other modern theaters. The staff was super friendly and helpful. It should be noted that you only can enter the theater 20 minutes before showtime. Online, it says it's the recommendation but it's more the rule. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The recliners aren't fully adjustable via buttons. There's one lever to kick the legs up. You can then push back the upper portion. The seats are more of a mild recline than a full recline.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] For the price, you can't beat it. However, I would probably go to other theaters in the future so I could have the full comfort experience even if a full menu and servers weren't available. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The theator was clean and has a good unique atmosphere inside and out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It appears to employ several local workers. But .......... [[HIGHLIGHT]]THE SEATS ARE TERRIBLE! They are not electric, are small, hard, and do not recline enough[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Whoever made this decision at corporate should be terminated. Sitting in these seats through a movie is torturous. What the heck management! For this reason, I will go see movies elsewhere. Total spent for 2 tickets and refreshments was approximately $100. It's too bad because it would have been great if the seats were not so bad. read more

We were in the theater alone for the new Superman movie which was pretty good- great technology being used. The food was actually very good and the service was like having a personal butler. The disturbing part was after the movie watching all the "free kids" 15+ being let in the back door by the theater employees and high fiving each other. A camera system help read more

Love the concept of this place. The service was great and my food and beer came out pretty quickly. Their menu had a variety of pub style food and a surprising amount of beers and cocktails to choose from. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The theater was also extremely clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I'm really glad they've replaced the seats since the last time I was here as the old ones had peeling leather which was my only complaint in the past; However, they're not the electric ones that go all the way back so still a little room for improvement[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. I'll definitely be back when I want to mix it up. read more

Came here to see a movie with my mom and sister. I will admit, [[HIGHLIGHT]]walking in for the first time into the theater we were in, the recliners looked awful. They were ripped up, it was surprising how bad they look. They weren't even electric. Side from that, they were still comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service here was wonderful. Our waiter took amazing care of us and was very nice. We ordered some margaritas and to my surprise they were fantastic. Especially for the price of $6. We ordered a bunch of food to share and it was all great too. I was impressed ! We ordered the pepperoni hot honey flat bread , hot chicken sandwhich and the chicken question with queso fries. We loved it all! Not one complaint. And because of this, I can forgive the look of the recliners lol. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Very clean theater with reclining cushy seats![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We went early hoping to get dinner before they turned off the lights but they only let us in 20 mins before the movie started. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The theater wasn't too cold which was nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We got the 2 for $32 and the food was great! Highly recommend the nachos the cheese sauce was so good. I also got the chicken wrap and asked for a side of ranch. I had to ask again for it twice as they didn't bring it. Everyone that ordered their pizza said it was amazing. Then for dessert it was only $5 but why would they serve powered sugar desserts in the dark?! makes no sense but do not get the beignets or the funnel fries, it was alllll over me lol. read more

Ordered four tickets online for a movie at SMG Seminole recently, and unfortunately, all three of my friends had to cancel the day of the movie. So I had to drive over to get my refund and they refused to give me the $2.50 charge per ticket for ordering online. So I lost $10 just because I ordered the tickets online. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Then the next time I went to that theater to see a movie the only seat they had left was a rolling office chair that didn't recline and was extremely uncomfortable, especially since it was in the second row and my neck started hurting immediately from having to look up so far at the screen.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Warning: never buy a ticket at SMG in the first or second rows.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Still good. The seats can use a refresh and just as an fyi, they are now adding 18% gratuities to your bill automatically. They removed the frozen hot chocolate (why?!?!?) but the food is still remarkably good for a movie theater. I wish the food could be paced better. It just comes out too quickly and apparently they can only space out 15 mins apart. Sometimes the food comes out so quickly, you aren't even done with the previews and your appetizers are already there.. followed by the entree 10 mins later. I really wish they'd offer the opportunity to space out the food out. Another pet peeve -- put water in a big cup so we don't have to keep asking for refills. Last time I went, I asked 3 times to have my water refilled because they kept forgetting to bring it out. Still a solid experience. More like a 3.5... needs a bit of updating and tweaks on the dining experience but overall still a fun time. read more

Love this concept..... we arrived about 30 min before, since unfamiliar with area... our ticket staff suggested we wait at the bar ( only open your theater 20 min before) then the bartender was polite, asked what movie we were waiting for, then let us know when we could go in.....[[HIGHLIGHT]]seats were comfortable...[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]the couple beside us was talkative ( not fault of theater, they did announce a couple times on screen to be respectful of your neighbors)[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] food was great we had the "share" and got way to much food... there was a mix up on our pizza and they remade it ( didnt try to give us the wrong version) they offered us free popcorn fir inconvenience....there is an auto 18% fee, but we would of paid that much anyway...great date night! read more

Pros: [[HIGHLIGHT]]Comfy seats as always, great service as far as servers being communicative, front staff is accommodating if you made a mistake on tickets and a diverse menu with plenty of deals.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The flatbreads are really good and the wings are underrated. Cons: Waiting too long for food, portions have gotten smaller, prices have gone up slightly, and if they mess up your order, prepare to wait another 20-40 minutes before getting your food. Burgers unfortunately taste like propane or some weird aftertaste. read more

Update: after revisiting studio movie grill last night, not sure about returning. It was absolutely filthy in the theater. Our seats had popcorn on them. The tables were not even wiped down. The seats are peeling. Cup holders caked with God knows what. We said a prayer and ordered food. It was actually pretty good, I'll given them that much. I really hope the kitchen was not filthy as well. We would consider returning if they make updates to the theater and clean better. read more

Give It A Try. Brand New Seats. Clean. Friendly, Courteous Staff [[HIGHLIGHT]]Studio Movie Grill Seminole is way nicer than the reviews lead you to believe. I have no doubt that SMG looked bad a few months ago but we went Jan 12, 2025, and the place is immaculate[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The comfortable leather reclining seats are BRAND NEW and very clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The table and cup holder was freshly was washed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] (See attached picture of toilet and seats) [[HIGHLIGHT]]Now I'm not a fan of the concept. It is very annoying to have waiters, waitresses and bussers walking in front of you and talking during the movie but you have to expect that with this entertainment concept[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. The staff is extremely friendly, courteous and attentive. I think that it would behoove the management to stick up for itself here. I will tell you we almost didn't go after reading the reviews. How about telling the public that whatever was wrong before - you have taken steps to correct the past issues and invite them back. read more

Place is a ripoff. Service sucks and doesn't care. Movie theater charges your card twice, once for what you owe and a second time for a "pre authorization" hold, that every single time has taken exactly 6 days to go back into my account.

I am not a huge fan of the movie grill concept, but this was pretty good. The servers were discreet, mostly, and we received our popcorn quickly. We did receive our drink after our popcorn, but that is minor compared to the whole experience. The chairs were comfortable, but the leather was cracked in some places. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was they automatically add 18% gratuity on any order. I want to be able to tip on my own. The other was checks were given with about 20 minutes left in the movie and multiple people turned on their phone flashlight so they could see their checks and pay. That disrupted the movie theater experience. I'm not sure how else to do it, but this is not my favorite. All in all it was a good experience and we will be back. read more

Food was pretty good in comparison to other movie grills I have been to in other states. Many options. Wings took a long time to get to our chair. We were served our first starter and was waiting to eat it with that. So one dish was hot and the other cold. Boozy shake was hugh, flavorful. Not sure there was any alcohol in there. The service was fast in the beginning. They dont check in witj you unless you push your button. Could have used more ranch for 10 wings. Only had 1 small cup. They charge 18% gratuity. Overall best movie grill Ive been to so far. Would come back. Expensive though. $61 for food/tip and $29 for 2 movie. read more

This is one of our favorite places! We're big movie people, and we love the service to our seat both before and during the movie! The staff are like ninjas, dressed all in black and they appear at the touch of a button to bring food and drink. We even have a bartender that recognizes us each time and makes us feel welcome and remembered. The chairs recline and are comfy, the place is clean, and it's just the right amount of feeling upscale and casual. The beers are cold, and the food is tasty. Just a note, there is an 18% gratuity automatically added, so be aware of that when your bill arrives. Further, I'd recommend getting on the rewards program for free movie tickets and other goodies. They do a great job of making going to the movies feel like an event! read more

Studio Movie Grill - Location at mall - Cinema Near Me - Seminole, Florida

The ticket lady is always wearing a mask, so the first message you are greeted with is, "To me you're primarily a disease vector. Have a nice day." Extremely impolite ... nobody who is a greeter or a host/hostess should ever be masked. The first time I went we were in a nearly empty theater but service was good, they came by without us requesting and took food and drink orders that were promptly delivered and pretty good. The second time I went the theater was maybe 1/4 full and I saw that others were being served by folks that seemed put-upon and surly as if they weren't really into being employees at all. Resentful and lackadaisical came to mind. We were never approached for service even after hitting the request button several times. We ended up watching the movie thirsty and hungry. The upholstery on the chairs is just disgusting, cheap material with the fake leather coming off in huge swathes everywhere the body touches the seat and especially the arms. I had to go to the restroom and it took me five minutes to get all the tiny "leather" flakes off my arms. read more

Went here for a private event. First time here, and I was impressed on several levels: Staff: the guy up front. the bartender and the in theater servers were all very friendly, polite and professional. My drink was delicious and I had the beignets which were tasty. The menu looked good but I had already eaten dinner, but look forward to returning and trying some. Theater: sound quality/ acoustics were good, picture quality good and seats were super comfortable: wide ( at least for me) and reclining. Bathrooms were clean, as well as the entire theater. They are showing first run movies, as well as offering private events. Will definitely be back! I joined their rewards program, nominally priced at $10 ( there is also a free one with other options) as I figured it would partially offset the online booking fee and entice me back! read more

We've been here a couple of times and the food has always been decent. Their hummus is large with fresh vegetables. We went today to watch Trolls and our server was AMAZING! I didn't catch his name but we were there at 1:40pm and he had a beard. Theatre was nice and clean too. Why 3 Stars, you may ask..... we entered and waited around forever. We had pre purchased our tickets through Fandango and I didn't have a bar code to use their self check in system. Greg was on the phone but after 5 minutes of standing there, please acknowledge me. I ended up just walking in and no scanned my code. read more

It's not that bad. It is also not that great. Ticket prices are almost the same as any other movie theater. But at this one you can eat dinner while watching the movie. After the show is over, you'll find yourself asking if it was really necessary to eat while simultaneously watching a show. The food is better than you would expect at a theater but is it as good as the other places you frequently dine at? They mention some chef next to a few of the menu items. If you're thinking that there's an actual chef anywhere near the theater, you'd be mistaken. I got the distinct impression that the guy taking our order frequently murders people. His voice was sing-song nice and seemed to be hiding something sinister beneath. His friendliness seemed so manufactured that you might think you were being pranked. We ordered the pretzel app and our pysco killer server said he highly recommends it. It came, via food runner, literally seconds later. The pretzels, while probably previously frozen, were pretty good. The jalapeño flavored "Queso" they come with absolutely came out of a can. This cheese product would not stick to the pretzels. I ordered a burger and fries. It was OK. The fries were delicious. My girl ordered the Strawberry Avocado salad. She exclaimed how delicious it was immediately. When we got in the car to leave, she mentioned it again and I asked her if she would make a trip here only for a salad and she answered probably not but that it was just way better than she expected at a movie theater. We also ordered the beignets. They were excellent. They were so good that if I could run down and grab an order on Sunday mornings, I occasionally would. Most of the order takers and food runners were cordial. The service is not great, tho. This has less to do with the employees' efforts and a lot more to do with how things are set up. I mentioned earlier that we got our pretzel app super fast. What I didn't mention was that our drinks didn't show up until long after we finished the pretzels. Psyco-server came back to take the rest of our order and we mentioned that we never got our drinks. He smiled and robotically informed us that drinks come from a different station. Neither my girl nor myself have any care about stations and, apparently, an order taker's responsibilities end at taking orders and in no way includes making sure what you ordered makes it to you in any reasonable amount of time. So, pro tip, If you plan on ordering a spicy app, make sure you've already received your beverages before placing that order. Food runners will carry away your empty plates and glasses but ONLY if you ask. And absolutely no one at any time will stop by to ask if everything is satisfactory. There are buttons affixed to the trays. If you do need something, that button will get them to you eventually. Just don't expect anyone working there to seem concerned that your visit is a good one. There is a mandatory 18% gratuity added to all orders. I usually tip 20% or more if the service is above the usual. Here, 18% seems a good enough guarantee that no one will try harder. I did notice that a few of the seats were starting to peel but I wouldn't deduct points for that. The seats recline but they're the manual recliners with no in-between settings. Like most things here, they are not great but are not horrible, either. So here is how it adds up: Theater: same as your favorite movie place but maybe a tiny bit more run-down inside. Food: similar to an Applebee's in price but not quite a good. Service: inefficient and clumsy. But...., you can stuff yourself in the dark while watching a movie. read more

We love this theater and will choose this theater over others. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We feel that it is cleaner than other theater and they just had new recliner chairs put in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I have to to say I'm not a fan of the new chair because to actually have your backchair lean back, you have to push it ( my kids were not tall enough/heavy enough to lean back for the back to go back). When you pull the lever, the leg will go up but the back stays stationary unless someone leans on it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Other than that, we love the fact that they serve a full menu during the movies. FYI Large Popcorns are Not refillable, and any service to your seat has an automatic 18% gratuity added. Overall, we do recommend this theater! read more
