Movie Tavern Willowbrook

It was our first time at this location. It was nice. Employees greeted us and said "thank you" as we left. They made eye contact and were courteous. Food was decent. The buttermilk chicken sandwich needed some seasoning on the chicken but the bread and pickles were good. Out of everything we ordered (family of 5) that was the only issue.

I enjoyed my visit here. I would rate my visit 3 1/2-4 stars. So usually my go to theater is Studio Movie Grill off of Hwy 6. However this theater was the half-way point for meeting a friend for dinner and a movie. We went on a Saturday evening at 3:30 to see the movie "Sleepless" (which I rate a 2 1/2-3 stars out of 5, wait till it comes out on Redbox). The theater appeared to be clean. Upon entering I had to ask for a menu. I sat down with my friend and when we were ready to order we pushed to little button on the table and waited. And waited, and finally I flagged down an employee who proceeded to tell me that the buttons do not work and to order you have to raise your menu on the table. How would someone who has never been there before know that? It would have been nice for the employee at the front who handed me my menu to inform me of that. Anyhow, my friend and I ordered the game day platter and split that. We both also ordered margaritas. We asked the server if we could mix and get strawberry/peach margaritas, though they were not listed on the menu as a swirl. They obliged without issue. The margaritas were fantastic! Some of the best I have had (though I drink very infrequently, so I might not be the best judge). However, I would have rated the margarita even higher if our rims had been salted or sugared, but that option was never given to us. The food was surprising good. I thought it rivaled a restaurant appetizer, though I do have to agree with the majority of the other reviewers here, our food was served lukewarm, verging on cold. I was tempted to send it back, but did not want to have to wait. When the food runner brought us our food, we asked for a couple of limes for our margarita , he acknowledged us, but never returned. Our theater server though was great. I wish I would have gotten his name. He had a cast on his arm and was still hustling and serving the entire theater by himself (maybe 15 people). He was efficient and friendly and had great service. He apologized for the person that delivered our food and never returned with the limes and went and got them immediately, even though I told him to not make a special trip for them. Additionally, there was a lady who brought several small children with her, and they were being loud, talking and distracting from the movie. She then gave her child her cell phone to play on without muting it. I asked the server to please ask them to silence the phone and he did so without any further issues. I appreciated that. I wish that the arms on the chairs were able to be pushed up, I think the design of the chairs with rigid arms is horrible. I would also hope that management makes a real effort to get the food out when it is HOT. I was surprised with how empty this theater was on a Saturday evening. I sure that the reviews have some to do with it. It is nothing that some tweaking and training can't fix. Overall, I would return. I found myself craving the margarita and game day platter the next day. The ticket prices were cheap compared to other theaters, only $6.50. And lastly, I enjoyed myself. I most likely will return here when I want to see another movie over my usual Studio Movie Grill, whose theater is fancy, but whose food is overpriced for the portions and just not that good.

This Movie Tavern is much nicer and better maintained than their Richie Rd and I45 location. The facility is very clean and the staff is friendly. The food is a little on the pricey end but it was fresh and tasty. The only negative part of my experience is that service seemed to stop after the movie began. My table has a light that you turn on to summon the wait staff. I wanted more tea during the movie and my light was on for an hour before someone came by and they were just dropping off my check. I enjoyed the experience compared to other Movie Taverns

Clean!! Huge plus. The theater counters, seats carpet very well kept. The bar was also at the same standard. I've been to a few theaters that are less that inviting, but not movie tavern. The staff was very accommodating and the customer service was great. The food and drink prices seemed to be a little bit high but not too high to not want to come back. All in all the experience was great.

Me and my daughter love Sunday movie dates here. The employees are always great! The one thing I would recommend as for service is that the kitchen staff get it together! Food is often cold when it should be hot and that can sometimes taint the experience! I'm never one to complain, like ever, because I know that they are human too, but I feel like this is just basic! Everything else, great! Keep it up!
