Alamo Drafthouse Cinema Woodbury

Wow, I shouldn't have waited so long to visit this place. A few things I appreciate: (1) The vibes are immaculate. The hallways are lined with gigantic garish old movie posters. This feels like a place that appreciates movies. (2) The experience is consistent. Nobody will ruin your movie-going experience with their glowing phone screen or talking, as they'll be kicked out. (3) You can order delicious food directly to your seat. I got the chicken with reaper sauce and a big lemonade. (4) The video and audio quality are exactly what you'd expect from a modern movie-going experience. Beautiful clarity! 5) The season pass! I liked my first movie there so much that I bought the season pass for $19.99 a month, which lets you see up to 1 movie every day all month. I will not be seeing that many movies but I can anticipate seeing one a week, which is still a huge savings compared to the full ticket price. The only downside is driving there on busy highway 94 from Saint Paul. But that's not the theater's fault, and it's well worth the trip over.

This is my first time going to the Alamo, and I'll remember it. Looks great inside and out and has classic movie posters lining the halls. The staff was nice and maybe next time I will try dining. They have food and drinks. The seats were comfortable, and the theater was great with phenomenal sound.

A really unique theater experience. Classic movie posters in the hallway when you go in. The sound is phenomenal and they have waiters that bring in food and take orders while you’re watching. They’re owned by Sony apparently - will definitely go back.

Totally outstanding!!! They have a great stout. Excellent bartender!!! Good selection of beers.

Even without the cozy seats and the food service, I endlessly value the no talking/no texting enforcement. I don't know what it's been about the last few years, but my experiences elsewhere with disruptive behavior feels like it's gotten particularly bad. Alamo has a lot of respect for making the movie feel like an *experience*, and it brings me back to my theater-going days as a kid. I love their pre-shows, I love the efficient service, I've been here several times in the last year and I never feel like going anywhere else.

Had a great first experience. It was a little pricey to eat but the food was good. I got the Cobb salad and turned my nose up a little to the price, but it did not disappoint. I would order it again. It had so many toppings on it and a ton of chicken. I could not finish it in one sitting. The bottomless popcorn was so good. Some of the best movie theater popcorn I have had. The seats were very comfortable and I liked how the table was in the middle of your chairs. All the staff we interacted with were friendly and helpful. Would I go again? Definitely

It’s a great theater. Very comfortable. Food was good. But our service was pretty terrible. One waiter was still working about halfway through the movie and didn’t stop at us because he wasn’t our waiter. The rest of the staff were nowhere to be seen until check time, and they had forgotten an item of ours. Since they never came back out, we never received it. They charged but took it off at the end. Just a little frustrating because they also had messed up our drink order at the start.

I really like this place. You should see movies here. Prices are surprisingly reasonable compared to other large theaters (In my experience, late 2024) $10 movie tickets after fees $10 bottomless popcorn $6 bottomless sodas Around $15 for entrees/pizza Let’s talk vegan options: I’ve tried both the Buffalo Cauliflower and the Vegan supreme pizza. Honestly, I go to movies mostly to eat popcorn (their popcorn is vegan if you do not request the butter which contains dairy). If I ate there again I would choose the cauliflower over the pizza. Both options are about $15. The veg pizza had a really good variety of vegetables but for a thin crust I expected it to be a more crispy. Plenty of parking and cool events. Take a peek at their calendar for special release parties for new movies or showings of classics!

Best date night spot hands down! They took going to the movies to another level, adding a luxury experience that makes you want to stay the whole day!

I have a love/ hate for this place. We went and saw Avatar 2 3D and they were running behind (not a big deal as we arrived the recommended 30 min and I'm sure with staffing lows... most were patient). The restaurant had its chairs up and you couldn't order food prior. We were hungry. We sat next to 3 women that were complaining the whole time or talking during the movie. Please don't come to a movie to catch up or chat with friends. Love: - You can purchase tickets ahead of time on their app and pick out seats. You can also cancel (up to an hour prior) if you need and you get your money back minus service fee. - The seats are comfortable and our server was good. - Unlimited truffle popcorn is yummy! - Soft pretzel was really soft and seemed fresh. Dislike: - Expensive! Tickets were around $16-18 with fees. - Food is convenient there, but not that great for the price. We spent $90 for 4 people to eat. Not worth it. - The Margherita pizza was super spicy! I was sharing with my teen and it was definitely a firey roasted sauce (it didn't say this on the menu). Hubby had a burger and said it was ok... we stole a few fries and they were decent. - You have to eat in the dark dark haha. There are lights under the tables that also can help. **Suggestions: it would be amazing to have the ability to pre order on the app (this would also tie to our seat numbers)! Not during the movie, just prior. Overall, we enjoyed the movie and our server was helpful. We plan to eat prior and get the unlimited popcorn for under $10 in the future.

The experience here is immaculate! My biggest annoyance with going to films at the cinema these days is that people talk or are on their phone. Alamo makes it a point to cut down on all of it! The ticket buying experience online is super easy. The theaters are well-maintained. The chairs are comfortable, and I love that you are able to recline AND have a table for drinks/food. The food is okay. Fun assortment of popcorn. Pretty expensive - but I guess that is on par with big box theaters. Also nice not having to wait in a concessions line. Will definitely be returning here more than once!

My very first Alamo experience was fascinating! Such a luxurious concept-- I really felt like a country mouse on a city mouse adventure. The staff was so sweet and explained how everything worked. The way they ran around the film so politely, bringing cinema-goers their orders with no distractions-- it was so entertaining. They are so good at blending in! The emphasis on no phone usage was really nice also. P.S. Black Panther 2 was captivating & emotional, I was weeping into my chicken tenders. Gorgeous film, gorgeous cast! P.P.S. I would skip the side of gravy next time, it was a little bland!

I always have a great time at the Alamo in Woodbury. I have been to multiple movie party nights and they are absolute blast! The food and drinks can get expensive, but the service is great and feel it's worth it for the experience. They have a lot of drink & food options, including many craft beer and cocktails.

All of the above, love the Alamo. Food and drinks are cool, the per-movie clips are wonderful as well.

I absolutely love this theater! The food/drinks are expensive but the 19/month pass is a screaming deal! They have a fantastic range of movies throughout the year both new and old. They also typically play previews to the previews that give a slight history to what you're about to watch. Food is okay, what you would expect for a movie theater, but I've always had great service! Absolutely recommend on a freezing cold Minnesota day!

Cool place. Fun twist to make it an interactive show but I wouldn't call it a "party". I was impressed by their drink and beer menu and they had great food. Definitely something to experience at least once.

My husband is into Alamo but after a couple experiences with very expensive food that was pretty bad, I just can't do it! Last time, we had two entrees (quite greasy and mediocre in my opinion) and a couple drinks and it set us back more than $75. Because eating out had gotten so expensive relative to our budget, we might pay that for good food, but this ain't it. This time, I ordered avocado toast and it was barely edible in addition to being overpriced. The avocado was supposedly vegan but it tasted like a combination of mayonnaise and fish sauce. I wished I could scrape the aftertaste off my tongue. I might go back just for a movie but wouldn't order food.

First time here. More like 2.5 stars. The lights on our table underside were broken so we couldn't see the menu. Busted out the cell phone light, hopefully didn't bother anyone. Ordered the popcorn but it didn't come with napkins. Had salt and oil on my hands for a long time because I didn't get anything to wipe them with. Ordered the monster burger. Didn't care for it. Certainly not for the price. I assumed the waffle fries listed would be on the side not stacked on the burger. Whatever the sauce was, wasn't good and that's all I could taste. I'm not even sure there was actually meat in there. Got a single napkin for a sloppy burger. Had greasy hands the rest of the night. Also ordered the "bottomless" soda but could never get a refill because the server never returned after dropping off the food. As it was my first time I wasn't sure if I was supposed to leave my seat and flag someone down or what. Cool concept, but poorly executed. At least tonight. I'm told by family members that go often because they live nearby that it's usually a good spot. I'd prob go again but wouldn't order food or drink.

I love going to Alamo for movies...with one exception. First the positive: Service is usually great. Food is decent - not fantastic but not bad, either. I wish there was a little more variety and that their pizzas were better. Popcorn is out of this world. The fact that it is bottomless AND that you don't have to leave your seat to get a refill is the icing on the cake. Love that it's a quiet theater experience and that they really enforce the no talking policy. Seats are very comfortable and there really isn't a bad seat in the house. Even the first few rows are set back from the screen so you get a good view. Absolutely love the movie assortment and special events they offer. The movie party of Elf is a must-see every year. My only complaint is the tables. They are fixed in place. If you have any sort of mobility issue or are on the larger size it can be difficult to get in and out of the seats. This is especially true when the movie is in progress (since there are no lights) or when the show is sold out and you are sitting next to a stranger. I wish they had the swivel sort of tables so you could move them when you need to get in and out. If their tables were moveable this would be my go-to movie house.

My son and I love coming to this movie theatre. First of all they show a wide variety of movies and even have movie parties featuring the cult classics we all grew up with. They have a bar/restaurant on site for some pre movie food and cocktails. In the theatre you can order food and drinks as well. The bottomless popcorn and sodas are great during the movie. They have a decent food menu, only downside is that you have to eat it in the dark... parking is easy and the theatre is clean and well kept. They have an app to buy tickets and if you join their birthday club you'll enjoy some extra benefits. We'll be back again!!

If you want the best possible experience when it comes to movies, save yourself the agony of visiting any other movie theatre. This is the only one you need to visit. The seemingly perfected online ability to purchase tickets would be a natural 20 which is apt as we went to see the new Dungeons and Dragons movie. You can chose your seat with the click of a button and no hassle. Upon entry, the front desk will is attentive and easily direct you to your movie. Hands down, the most efficient crew ever. I love the style of the old movie posters throughout the hallways. Make the vibe super fun and gets you into the mindset for seeing your fi of choice. Now, I would be doing not only this review a disservice, but the amazing employees of this fine establishment injustice by not mentioning their superior work. They checked our tickets, placed our food and bevvy orders, and processed our payment without us missing a second of previews. Incredible. Lastly, the loaded fries are a must. Soooo good. I didn't take many photos since they are super strict on phone usage which I really appreciate. Nothing is worse than other patrons who are annoying and the Alamo has got that place on lockdown.

I recall when this opened many years ago and really wanted to go...I should have gone then pre-Covid, may have enjoyed it more and paid less. The movie was fun, sound was heavy (almost too loud, but not quite)...good bass, you really feel the action in the films. Food was ok, fresh but the two items we had were over sauced and the flavor profiles just all ran together with nothing standing out about either of them....just a over-sauced mono taste. One was the Glazed & Infused Burger: brisket/sirloin/chuck blend infused with bacon bourbon-glazed caramelized onions, lemon-garlic aioli, pickle spear and ketchup. So...the burger was so buried that that nice blend of meat was just lost, it'd be better to just use a beef patty. The bourbon-glazed onions was too much that the lemon-garlic aioli was completely lost in it...couldn't detect it if even the lights were on. The fries were ok. The other was the Fried Chicken & Asian Slaw: hand breaded chicken breast, sriracha-soy aioli, Brussel sprout & cabbage slaw, seeded bun. The chicken patty was fine, but like the burger all the flavors of the breaded chicken breast and that Brussels sprout slaw was lost in the sriracha-soy aioli and everything tasted as one mono flavor. For drinks we had the Boozy Shakes: a Grasshopper and a Whisky Banana Split Shake. While a decent ice cream drink, they could have been a 'bit' stronger...pretty weak for even a ice cream drink (if you want a good ice cream drink, go to an old school supper club). I even followed that with a Fistful of Bourbon Old Fashioned, and I didn't even catch the hint of a buzz...so kinda weak. And MY GODS the food and drinks are $$$...two of use with the above (not even including the 2-tickets) was $100. I may go again, but man...I'd probably eat first, but then that's the point here...to eat/drink something other than popcorn/soda while watching the movie. I'd recommend ya try it once, but it's costly. (Sorry no pics, to dark)

My friend and I went today for $3 movie day and it was a great experience. First, I hope they make $3 movie an annual thing bc great deal! Anyway, the theatre is right off the highway so very convenient and close to many restaurants and bars within walking distance. They have a huge free parking lot with great lighting. The theatre itself was clean and our experience was good. We got popcorn and sodas. Popcorn was good and I appreciate that both were reusable containers. My only complaint was the price of our soda ... $7 for a fountain soda is a bit ridiculous to me. Otherwise, great experience and will come back!

Love this theater. Always clean and seats are comfy. The chairs do recline. The staff are attentive and always greets us. The food selection is great. I live their pizzas, fries, and drink selection.

We had a friend who used to work at Alamo Drafthouse, and heard about how there was a strict no talking, no cell phone rule and was intrigued by the restaurant and movie concept so we decided to give it a chance to watch Everything ,Everywhere All at Once since we wanted to get the full, uninterrupted cinematic experience. The food menu was pretty extensive and I ended up getting the margarita pizza and my partner got the Royale with Cheese and both were pretty good. The food was better than we expected it to be for movie food, and there were also cocktails and beers available but we did not order any. The seats also recline and were very comfortable, but the only downside is that there isn't a big arm rest separating you from the seat next to you that other theaters may have. However, the seats were roomy and more spaced out than a regular theatre. Alamo is a little ways from where we live, but we would come back for movies that need the uninterrupted cinematic experience that is hard to get elsewhere. I'm knocking a star off because it's a bit confusing as to what you are supposed to do when you arrive since the theaters aren't blocked off, so you can enter from any entrance and go directly to your movie. They check tickets when you are seated instead of from the front and there are kiosks to buy tickets or you can buy them online. Another star is knocked off because there is an 18% surcharge, but it doesn't go towards tips which was not clear on the receipt and most people don't find out, so don't forget to tip your servers. Also, highly recommend Everything, Everywhere All at Once for those who haven't seen it.

Attended the Rocky Horror watch party on 10/30. Excellent chair side service that did not interfere with the movie, and ample room between rows, made for an enjoyable and comfortable outing. Food offerings are inviting, albeit pricey per movie theatre protocol. Fried pickles were terrific.

Went for the first time last week! Highly recommend the buffalo cauliflower . This is definitely our new date night spot.

Will never go back. Management argumentive! Never want to hear a customers side. Ordered bottomless popcorn. They're trained not to refill popcorn the first 30 mins the manager said to us. Waited 30 minutes for refill for drinks for kids and I. Popcorn was after 30 minutes but helping with other customers order. Spouse had to go to refill our drinks because you will sit a long time waiting. Same for bottomless popcorn. We received a warning for talking when we ask how to order popcorn. I DO NOT RECOMMEND TO BRING KIDS TO THIS THEATER. The only reason two stars is because of seats. I feel offended having a disability going here she's questioning my partner if he's driving because I asked a question and I have a disability with walking. We got a final warning but it was also our first warning . This theater is no text no noise no talk theater. But I sit in the theater listening to others talking and laughing. The restaurant/ bar service was good. * I believe I saw only three handicapped parking spots. Good loading/unloading spots outside of the theater entrance. Bathrooms right inside after purchasing your tickets. I was looking forward to ordering through a movie theater I won't be using that feature again.

Amazing place to take yourself out on a date. Enjoy your own company! Go watch that movie you want, while ordering a cocktail & eating (high quality) food. I watched NOPE and ordered the crispy pork belly pizza. Amazing experience and delicious food. Great service as well. (Bring cash to tip your servers!)

I loved the Alamo pre-COVID and tonight was my first venture back to go see their showing of "Jaws." The food wasn't as good as I remember but it was still decent. the service was great as always. But once the check dropped, I saw their was a mandatory 20% tip fee included. I'm not a bad tipper by any means, but since it was only me and my partner I was confused if that applied to a party of 2. The waiter said that it applied to everyone. I inquired further and found out that the fee wasn't even tips for the waiters, but that it was a "service fee" they didn't even receive as tips! I guess it goes to the HQ, which is a bit confusing since I already paid like $20 for a gross hot dog BEFORE the fee! I still like Alamo and will probably be back, but the fact they surprised a fee on me at the last second, which doesn't even go to the wait staff, left a bad taste in my mouth. especially since all of their food is already extremely overpriced (luckily the drinks are reasonable).

Went to a 3 hour long movie after I ate dinner so the timing on food didn't bother me much, but what really got me this time was HOW COLD I WAS. I was wearing a jacket the whole movie and even caught my teeth chattering. My boyfriend felt this way also, and he's a walking furnace. I really used to enjoy the movie experience here but the last few times have been lacking. I'm glad this time I used a gift card and not my money. Also why have the "bottomless soda/popcorn" if I never see a server ever again.

I am so so so sooooo incredibly happy there's an Alamo Drafthouse in the Twin Cities! Coming from Austin TX where really the only theatre a true Austinite goes to is the Alamo and where so many of my memories were made, it is so exciting that we now have a home here! This place brings me comfort because of the drinks, the menu, the great movies, old and new, the fun sing a longs, the reclining chairs and the awesome pre-shows! It's so great to eat and drink at your seat but if you don't want to, there's a bar at the entrance to hang out before the movie. The popcorn is bottomless and my favorite drink is Wise Men. I love the impossible burger and the veggie pizza! Also the fried pickles are delish! Gotta go now! The show's about to start!

The staff was very friendly. The service was amazing. The theater was clean. Had a really great vibe. Loved the pre-movie shows. Drinks were good and the food was decent. Would recommend this to friends.

Delicious real butter popcorn. Free refills on soda and popcorn. Service right to your chair. Was the only one in the movie and good thing because I learned that I cannot sit in a movie I've never seen and NOT ask my companion about the plot. So thankfully , since no one else was in there, I could whisper and not get kicked out. But I wouldn't trust myself again unless it's a cartoon film or one I've already seen. The recliners are the most comfortable ever. Smallest cinema lobby I've ever seen but it has a bar! And has the spacious bathrooms we expect in theaters. No fuss no muss, get in and sit down. Wanted to try the pizza but got too filled on snacks.

Service was horrible. They were out of some food items on the menu, ended up with motz sticks that were just so so.

Love the food and drinks. Very close to our home. There is the distinct smell of feces throughout the theater. The sent a few messages on Facebook to inform the Alama about this. No reply. It is far worse in the Men's room. Had to hold my breath. Can't come back until this is addressed. Beware!!

Rating a movie theater is somewhat tricky. After all, if they play the movie, the chair is comfortable, and the experience meets expectations, then 5 stars is warranted. However, for Alamo, this place is a little different because they serve food right at your seat. Of course, this also means a waiter/waitress is constantly walking the rows of seats all movie long. That in itself forces me to downgrade Alamo. The theater part is fine, but the constant distraction is enough for me to go elsewhere next time.

It's it's important for first-time visitors to an Alamo Drafthouse to understand that it is NOT a regular movie theater! For one thing, all seats have a big honkin' table thing. That's because it's a restaurant. Servers take orders (in different ways), bring food, bus dishes, and transact your payment. But you can go to a movie without taking advantage of any of that. But there is no concession stand; any food you get will be ordered from your seat. So you might be thinking that all that food commerce must cause a bustle that would interfere with the moviegoing experience. And yet, my favorite conceit of theirs is the proud, advertised policy of not tolerating talking or phone use during the movie. The servers' activities go on throughout the screening, but they are trained to do so without interfering with the movie. Seriously, they tiptoe in a crouch through the rows while the movie is playing. It's fine. I've been here twice now, and this is definitely the best experience I've ever had with wait service at a movie seat. Their system allows them to fully tend to your be-served-while-watching-a-movie needs. It takes some getting used to, but I can't imagine this concept working better. The food I've had on my two visits varied from okay to awesome. The chicken tenders I got were really good! They came with a unique, creamy sauce that was somehow both mild and a teeny bit spicy. But only three pieces was, at that entree price, kind of skimpy, even though they came with fries. Great fries! I could just snack on those fries for whole movies and feel quite, quite spoiled. I've also had their Juicy Lucy, which was average, and two different tacos. Those are only available on Tuesday, and are advertised as a special, but I don't think they're quite worth the price. They taste a little bland and don't come with any salsa. Restroom coverage is minimal; I think that will be noticed over the years. The seats are fine, but not as comfortable as the most modern seats at Marcus and Emagine theaters. They are a little less wide and the recline is not as generous. But they do recline, and there is a footrest, so it's still much better than anything you'd get ten years ago. I am very comforted by the pervasive affection for the moviegoing experience which surrounds this facility. And again, I love that they intend to keep everyone respectful when it comes to chatter and phone usage. And yet, the first time I visited, the two people next to me ignored that rule and talked liberally throughout their movie. I was supposed to let someone know, I guess. But they were right next to me! Awkward! Someone else should have done that for me. But no. I hope those two d-bags never return to this theater.

It's soft opening this week so the Alamo Drafthouse is offering $5 tickets and 25% off all food orders. My friend spoke highly of his experience at another Alamo location in another state so we grabbed a group of friends to check out movie & dinner here. Initial impression walking into main lobby - it's an open space that would benefit from some benches so people can sit and wait for friends. Otherwise it's kind of awkward standing around yet you don't want to block other people/doorways, etc. The hallways are decorated with large framed vintage movie posters. Works nicely with the black wallpaper. Each theatre is outfitted with cozy seating that is meant for people to show up in pairs as it's 1 table per 2 people. The servers were very nice and walked through Alamo's protocol - no phones no talking no disruptions of any kind once the movie starts. They explained the logistics of ordering and how they'll shuffle between rows to deliver anything you want. Our server offered great insight into the menu. We ordered the squash pizza, vegetarian pizza, chicken ricotta meatballs, fried cauliflower with vegan ranch dressing (absolute amazingness), a burger, and chocolate shake. There were zero complaints. We enjoyed all of the food. Alamo has a Taco Tuesday special that caught our eye so looking forward to coming back and experiencing dinner & a movie again.

I had been eagerly awaiting an Alamo Drafthouse to make its way to the Cities, and that time has come. The experience at Alamo is different than any other theater. You take out your order card, write what you want, and place it in its slot. Your server then comes and takes care of business and your order will make its way to your table. Throughout the show, if you find yourself wanting something else or a refill, just write it on a card and they'll bring it to you. One of the things I like about Alamo is that they have a strict policy against cellphones and talking. If your phone is out you're removed from the theater with no refund. Finally, I can watch a movie without the annoyance of someone else's screen in my face! The food prices are what you would pay at a restaurant. $14 for a burger and fries. Some of the other items lean toward the pricier side. The popcorn is $9, but it's bottomless. Also, it doesn't come with butter, you need to specify if you want it on your order. The burger was pretty good, but the shake I got was killer. There are tables at your seats (which are the recliner seats). You'll end up sharing a table unless you get a single seat, there are a few of those around. They're still working the serving kinks out, but they try to be as unobtrusive as possible when they bring orders by. About 45 min. left in the show, they'll bring your bill to your table.

Outstanding! This is a true cinema experience! I love the old Hollywood finishes and the food selection is I'm vegan and they have a whole vegan menu! Their drink menu is also superb; everything from wine, beer, liquor and specialty drinks! The seats are comfortable, clean and cozy. Wishlist: more movies to choose from, took almost 15-20 to order a coke mid movie, the prices are a tad steep.

Alamo had its vibe at one time, but there is nothing special about them anymore. The main issue are the hidden charges and ongoing sewer smell in the hallway. They raised their prices on everything, which is expected post-COVID, but they are sneaky with other charges. For example, they did away with the popcorn refills. Nowhere on the menu was it clear that they no longer do refills on any type of popcorn. When we asked for a refill, instead of checking with us, they charged us for another popcorn. Who wants to dispute a charge in the middle of a movie? Alamo has the advantage here and most likely gets away with a lot of extra charges. They also now charge a 18% fee to your bill to comply with "Minnesota Statute Section 117.23, subdivision 9." Of course, they hide this at the bottom of the last page where no one can see it, especially in low light during a movie. It really isn't surprising considering how many restaurants are fee shaming customers, but the worst part is they apparently don't pass the extra fee to the server! Our server made a point to highlight the portion of the bill explaining the extra fee is not gratuity. This is strange because we went to a local brewpub that also charged 18%, but they didn't require an extra tip and they actually DO pay their servers a living wage. Finally, they have an ongoing problem with sewer gas wafting into the hallway. Looking at the other Yelp reviews it has been an ongoing issue for almost a year. I am sure the Minnesota Department of Health will need to look into this because there is no way the gas is safe. I just don't understand why Alamo management is letting this happen. Overall, we really have no interest to go back. They are pricing themselves out of the market for trivial gains and the Alamo experience is no longer unique. Next time, we'll just go to AMC or wait till something is streaming just to avoid the extra fees and sewer gas.

We really loved Alamo! It was so fun to be served at your seat during a movie. The buffalo chicken pizzas was great and so was the flavored popcorn. They also have an awesome cocktail list to choose from. Had to dock a star because of how horrible the hallway smells. Luckily it isn't as bad in the theater. It was also spendy. Tickets + food + drinks adds up quicker than expected.

This place is so overpriced it is ridiculous! $12 for a Jack and coke??? In a 1cup glass. The fried pickles were cold when they came out, and if you can find a pickle among all the fried breading. There was an 18% service charge, which we figured was the waiters, only to in's after reading the reviews, it was not a tip for the servers. I feel bad we left him no tip. Save your money, this was an $83 dollar night, and that does not include a tip for the server.

This Alamo is not worth remembering. After years of great times at Austin's Alamo Drafthouses, I was stoked to come across one in Minnesota, of all places. But this is not the Alamo I know and love. The Alamo I know has smart, friendly service - not an absentee waitress who brings cold food, forgets orders, and checks in a grand total of once after the movie started. The food was also not to the standard I've come to expect; portions were small, shriveled, and - as mentioned - lukewarm at best. Bummer service. Bummer experience. Can someone from Texas come up here and teach 'em how it's done?

Clearly understaffed by the hit-or-miss service, their food is WAY too expensive to literally forget orders and charge people for things, anyway. Comfy seats that recline, otherwise its just another movie theater. Eat before you go, since there's no guarantee what you order will arrive.

I went to the Alamo and when I called they said I could bring candy so I did and the took it and don't give it back at the end like they said they would and me and my sister ordered water because there popcorn is so dry and we never even got water 0 stars from me

Be quiet, assholes! Also put your phones away. Be considerate. I have been dying to check out Alamo ever since I first heard about it. They have a very strict no talking and no cellphone use policy during the showing of the movie. I think they may have loosened it up a bit. Now they say they will give you one warning before they kick you out. I think the warning onscreen right before the movie starts is above and beyond what should be required. Maybe the ticket takers should just be the ones laying down the law. It should just be common sense. Nobody wants to hear your commentary, nobody wants to see any light from your cell phone. You can get a mixed drink. You can get a full meal at the Alamo. My one less than a five is that the food and drink servers sometimes get in the way of the movie. I think they should only do food and drink service up until the movie starts or very shortly thereafter. The movie I saw - Midsommar. Disturbing and unsettling to say the least. Kind of movie that lots of people would be talking throughout with no consideration for any of their fellow moviegoers. Heard not a peep other than a cough or two throughout. After the movie, did see a Goth chick crying outside being comforted by her Goth friends. True story!

I found this place because I'd won passes to a few movies. We've been here a couple times in the past month. This is a cinema grill. It's a 21st century cinema grill. You can get just about anything to eat here, and the staff are polite, friendly, and efficient. Yes, you can get alcohol, if you drink. The sodas are bottomless, as is the popcorn. The popcorn in the only thing about which I have a complaint. It was SUPER SALTY!!!! So, we ate only one bowl of it. "That's the only thing we haven't liked here. We got the cheese curds and the queso while there. Both were pretty good. We're kind of spoiled on cheese curds from Shamrock's so, it takes a lot for us to like other versions. During the movie, they come to bring whatever you want in silence. You have to use paper and pen to indicate when you're placing an order. It's actually pretty smooth and doesn't really interrupt the enjoyment of the film. The only downside to the location is that they don't have a large lobby. This is only problematic when you're waiting in line for a screening. A small inconvenience when the weather's nice, because you have to wait outside. Not sure how they'll handle it in rain and winter. We do plan on coming back on our own and have told a few people about how great it is. I don't usually go to Woodbury for ANYTHING, so...

Favorite place to watch movies. Popcorn is the best! Seat are comfortable and the service is always great. It is worth the money.

Dinner and a show all-in-one! I am super stoked that we have a movie house on the east side! While it by no means has an exclusive showing of classic movies like the Trylon, I love that I can catch a classic and a new release at the same place. The food menu is also excellent. Their Juicy Lucy is pretty great if you're looking for a no frills, great standard, and their fries are just the right amount of crisp. Lest I forget, you have to check out the adult shakes - they are delicious!! Next, the staff are super friendly, and yes, the wait time is a wee bit longer, but all things considered, it's worth it. You are paying for dinner and a show, so yes, that means restaurant prices (but at least you won't have to worry about running late from one to the other). Last but not least, THE REWARDS PROGRAM IS WORTH IT. First off, unlike some rewards programs, you don't have to pay in, it's completely free (I'm looking at you, AMC). Second, they run $5 Tuesdays, and they also have Buy One Get One Free deals on tix for members. Third, you get a free movie ticket for your birthday - not a soda, not a popcorn, a ticket! Needless to say, I'm in for the long run with Alamo.

Yep! Food bar food! The pretzel with mustard is ridiculously tasty! Queso was also delish. Get in early and order your dinner! We had pizza this eve, but have also enjoyed a lot of other things. There is always a movie-themed cocktail/malt. Get it!! Seats are very comfy, service is great. I'm not telling you my fav seats.. cuz I don't want you booking my space! Enjoy! Really great fun to be had!!

Best place to see a movie in the Twin Cities. No doubt about it. Great screens, great sound, great staff.

The quiet policy is one of the best aspects. The food and drinks are great too. Good place for an evening with my wife or a fun activity for the kids at a kid friendly showing.

Never going here again. Hidden 18% tax. Put your operating costs in your prices. Horrible business practice to sell your overpriced food and then surprise people with an actual higher cost. Quote whatever MN statue you'd like. Poor wait staff suffer when people don't tip them because of your idiocy.

I stopped going to the theaters a while ago due to loud patrons (and way too many previews) ruining the experience, (not to mention most movies nowadays are unoriginal repeats) so when I heard about Alamo drafthouse coming to Minnesota, I was eager to finally see a movie without the many distractions that accompany the typical showing. I arrived at the ticket box at exactly 4:00 o'clock for the 4:00 showing of "Once Upon a Time in Hollyweird," and was worried I would be late, as I read beforehand you aren't let in after the feature begins, (but do get your money refunded for a different time). I had also heard the movies start right at the showtime, and without the usual 20 minutes of previews. I read right, but heard wrong. The guy at the ticket desk said I'd still be okay to make the showing, and I bought the ticket and walked in, thinking my timing was perfect as the movie seemed to be just starting. Unfortunately, it was just a preview, and I had to sit through a few more previews (about 10 minutes total, which isn't great, but still seems to be about half the preview torture of most theaters.) As the previews were ending, a staff ninja snuck by and asked if I had been to an Alamo (I hadn't) and then informed me of the ordering process should I get hungry, or thirsty. Though I didn't order anything, the options looked really good, and the staff was friendly. I know the people sitting to the right of me were really enjoying the food (and drink) as they seemed to be constantly eating and drinking the entire movie. It wasn't distracting visually or auditorily, (mmkay maybe the sloshing ice was a bit) as the staff ninja always whisked by without affecting the vision, but it was offensive that someone could eat that much food without some semblance of shame (for contributing so generously to the obesity epidemic). The experience (and movie) was great overall (minus 1 star for ten minutes of previews) and it will be definitely the theater of choice in the future as the sound of the picture was just right (not too loud) and the sound of the theater (mostly noiseless) was also ideal.

I'd come back here again for the comfy reclining seats, but the food is horrendous! I had the fish and chips and it had a weird sour taste and the fries weren't fully cooked. My husband had the chicken tenders and he said they weren't very good. He agreed the fries weren't good either. The popcorn wasn't like normal movie theater popcorn, it was bland and barely any butter. The service was pretty good and we didn't get any odd smells in the place like other reviews.

I've been driving passed this place more times than I can count and finally went to see a movie here. It is awesome! I want to see every movie here from now on. There's a restaurant/bar in the front and it's just adorable on the inside. Inside the theatre are desks attached to the comfortable reclining seats. There's a note pad and pen with light under your desk so you can write your order down, a waitress or waiter comes to pick it up and then comes back with your order. We ate lunch somewhere else before hand so I was totally bummed to see we could've had lunch here - it was a huge menu. We ordered the movie must haves popcorn and gummy bears. I can't wait to go back!
