It's better than sitting in a standard movie theater because it is more comfortable. It stays pretty busy and if a movie is rated high, the possibility of it being sold out if you don't buy in advance is great. Save your money when it comes to food. The food is really nasty. The servers are prompt, but the food is disgusting. Order popcorn. It's hard to ruin that.

This place is decent, but I would have driven a few extra miles to the one in Hampton instead. I say this because it is crowded, I think they should sell their tickets by how many tables they have and not by how many chairs they include. Me and my boyfriend had some random ghetto couple sitting in front of us randomly at our table, and I felt like I had no privacy.

You can see movies for a great price - the Pembroke location has somewhat older movies, and Kemps River has first runs. It's nice to be able to order a real meal -- or just a dessert -- with your movie, rather than being stuck with junk food.

It does not matter if you go on a date night or family fun night this is a fun place. You can even take the kids for cheap to the Greenbrier and Pembroke locations. Movies are older at these locations but for a cold rainy day $20 movie trip (including popcorn and soda) you can not go wrong.
