    Super fun and enjoyable, except for the elderly couple (the only other people in our theater) who…read moretalked at full volume the entire movie like they were in their living room. Nothing the employees could do so not their fault :) best time to go is weekday afternoons, there's no one there!! Food is delicious, thank you to another reviewer for suggesting the chicken strips with gravy. Pricey, but it's comparable to other dine-in theaters in the area. Wish there were more accessible restrooms near theaters 7-9, walking across the huge pavilion in the middle of the movie is sort of a bummer. Otherwise, great experience and I'll be back!!

    Updating my review after 6 years - but still five stars!…read more This is a movie theater that also brews beer and serves food. And they have no business making food that good!! Going to a movie here has become a tradition for our family when we're home for holidays. We enjoy the control of picking our seats out in advance, and love that they have nice leather reclining seats. We also love that they do their own fun version of "previews" before the actual previews start - funny video clips, related snippets to the movie, etc. It's so personalized and fun! But what we love most isn't the movies at all. It's not even the chairs. IT'S THE GRAVY. Yes, you read that right. They make this pepper gravy that is simply out of this world. My family and I exclusively order the chicken tenders and fries as a mere vehicle for this deliciousness. Oh, and ask for double gravy - you'll need it. For my true Midwesterners: they have perfect "runny restaurant ranch" too! And their fries are divine. I'm sure other things on their menu are good too - we've been recommended their breakfast pizza (it has that gravy as the sauce) and chicken sandwich (again, with gravy as the dipping sauce) so we may branch out soon. We like their drinks too - we've had good cocktails and my brother and dad like their beers! The service is great - they take orders before the movie/during previews and get it out fast so the food/drink service doesn't disrupt the movie watching. They have an app you can order from and a button to push with any requests too. I know it sounds so weird, but we genuinely look forward to movies together so we can all eat fries and gravy on our little trays in a recliner at Flix. The BEST!

    I'm not going to write a book on this one... It's a movie theater. But it's also my go to movie…read moretheater... Purchasing tickets online is easy enough and I can add the tickets to my Apple Wallet. A plus in this age of electronics. You can still purchase tickets old school at the counter when you arrive too. When you purchase your ticket (either at the counter or online) you select your seat. When you present your QR code at the counter you are given a paper ticket. Sometimes there is an attendant to take the paper ticket and sometimes check in is with the person who gave it to you... Inconsistent...yes. A problem...not really. You can pick from multiple experiences in high definition and audio. I'm cheap and just usually go for the standard format. Concessions are typical. This complex has the lounging recliners in all their theater choices. I enjoy these. The seats are wide so you're not cramped at all and they're pretty comfortable. The one downside that the theater has no control over... People. And people can suck sometimes... - If there are over 3/4 of the seats empty in a theater... Why do people have to pick a seat right next to an already occupied one? Especially when that person is not part of their party... When you pick your seat you can see which seats are already taken. - Why do some people feel the need to remove their shoes and socks in the theater...? That's just gross. smh - And chew with your mouth closed... I shouldn't be able to hear you crunching on your popcorn three rows away. I get it. You paid for your ticket to get in just like I did. You do you buttercup! I don't expect people to be in suits and dresses...but there is such a thing as being TOO comfortable. Well... That turned out to be a little longer than I had initially planned I guess. It is what it is. Lol

    This is an entertainment complex in the heart of Ankeny. It has a 12 screen movie theater, a video…read morearcade, and a bowling alley. They also have a full bar in the front and a patio area outside. They have a large private parking lot and is very clean, updated and trendy. This place is perfect for date night, family night or a gathering with your co-workers. Be on the lookout for the complex's Game Night. I did not visit the movie theater part. I spent my time at the bowling alley and arcade. They also have a private room that can be rented out for special events such as birthdays and corporate parties. The lanes were $30/lane (up to 6 bowlers for an hour), plus $5/per bowler for shoe rental. The lanes were very modern. They have electronic scoring and there are bowling assist tools available. As I mentioned they have a full bar. They also serve food. The menu is light, but would do if you were really hungry. I got a BLT with a side of broccoli. It was good, buit bowling alley food. I would not come here just for the food though. The staff there was very friendly and helpful. The arcade is decent sized and has your typical games were you can earn points towards cheaply made but overpriced toys. The arcade was also very clean. I do know that if you are going to check out a movie, they recommend that you skip the line and purchase your tickets in advance, online. This is a fun spot to be and you can easily spend a few hours here. I highly recommend checking this place out. It will not disappoint.

    It was ok we just went to see a 4d movie it was cool and fun a little boring and super expensiveread more
