I LOVED THIS!!!! The whole idea is just super cool. Kids and family would love this. The beer is actually pretty good. The food is actually good as well. The service was nice and the space was clean. The seats and seating area is so comfy. I also didn’t think the prices were that bad. My only complaint is that they were out of a few things and they never came back to get our dirty dishes for us.

Went for dinner and it was empty on a Sunday night. Very nice bar tender and clean atmosphere. You can order movie popcorn and warm cookies, both were great! Good burgers and the kid's pizza had so much pepperoni, my kids said it was the best!

Love places like this. First of all, movie theaters have been through such hard times recently that the majority of them aren't even trying anymore. It's like, here's your chair, your screen, and your terrible corn dog nuggets. What a reward for not illegally watching the movie, huh?
So any place like this that makes the experience at all pleasurable is great. In the middle of the lobby is a bar & grill area. The menu they have is actually pretty expansive. Burgers, pizza, wraps, wings, even fish 'n' chips. Everyone will find something to eat here.
The food was good. I had some wings, I had some pizza, and I had a burger. The wings were hot and crispy, the pizza was thin crust and crispy and good, the burger was juicy and served with fun little cheese curds. Not Michelin star quality, but definitely an ok place to have dinner before, or during, the movie.
The theatre itself was pretty sweet. Stadium seating with foot rests. Tables that swing in or swing away from you. Full services with very sneaky servers that don't affect the movie-watching experience at all. Fine quality picture and audio. I was a fan.
Overall, I'm giving this place five stars because in a world where movie theatres are just so burnt out, this place is striving for success. And I appreciate that greatly.

The theaters and food here are both great. Definitely would choose this place over other traditional types - the total for food, beer, and tickets wasn't that much more than going elsewhere. What is a huge standout is their staff. All of them are working hard while being incredibly welcoming. Our "waiter" was nicer and better at his job than most of the staff we encounter at nice restaurants in the metro.

Tall people beware as it’s not built for us. Food and service is great, but it’s not acceptable for all sizes as I’m 6’ 8”. Very uncomfortable experience to watch the film.

I love Flix and the new seating is great (hence the 2 stars) but the service last time we were there was horrible. i only saw our server once, and could barely hear him speak. he never smiled once and seemed like he didnt want to be there.
our drinks came one at a time. i had to ask twice for water, but because of the lack of communication & service, i also received and was charged for 2 (brought by different people). we received the wrong dinner. then had to return the food a second time because the dressing on the steak & avocado salad rendered it inedible and burned my mouth so badly i had to leave the movie and track someone down for a glass of milk to stop the burn. It still hurts to eat anything (next day). i usually love spicy food, but this should have come with a warning.
nothing was discounted for the trouble, and a 20% gratuity was added automatically for the terrible service & food. i will not eat in theater again.

The staff is great and nice but the new seats are uncomfortable and very tight. And it’s hard to get around the new table style. I preferred the way they used to have it set up. They also now automatically add 18% tip to every bill. You have to let them know if you’ll be giving cash so they won’t charge you automatically
