Studio Movie Grill- The Colony

For a movie theater I rate this place pretty high. Went here for a field trip for an "educational" movie. I was impressed with the comfort of the seats. And, I loved being served a meal. Can't go wrong with a burger. It's not gourmet food. But, the place is clean! I left relaxed and not hungry.

This is a great location and I come here over all the other locations. They keep the facility clean and handle orders very quickly. Sometimes the bathrooms can be lacking a little bit but with the amount of influx of people they see at those times it's normal. Food is always good and fresh at this location compared to others. drink orders can be a little slow getting out to you and you can get your items before your drink arrives. They also need to try and work on parking and get a little bit more parking in the front especially handicap. They do have accessible parking and ramps. There's also accessible seating inside the theater. Purchasing tickets is easy and they are great about providing discount options both in person and on their website which is something most theaters lack. Usually in order to get a discount a lot of times you have to go in person to a theater this is something studio movie grill does right.getting parking can be somewhat difficult at this location and gaining access can be a little difficult because they are on an access road for a highway. This is also one of the few places that still has a paper towel dispenser versus just air dryers which is great. the paper towel dispensers do you need to be adjusted a little bit because the paper towels of dangling in the trash. The first paper towel that stays out ends up dangling in the trash so you end up having to throw it away before getting a clean one. They also keep the audio adjusted in the theaters just right so you're not going deaf trying to watch the movie. Something a lot of local theaters need to work on.

The food was great, but the service that started out great quickly feel apart. The server that took our order prior to the film was awesome. Great guy and very helpful. But once the film started and 30 minutes in we needed refills on our drinks (a root beer and a water) it took forever. We pushed the button, a different server came we ordered drink refills, waited 20 minutes, no drinks. Pushed button again, different server arrived, we ordered refills, waited 20 minutes, no drinks. Pushed button again when a different server arrived, we explained we never received our refills that we've ordered twice already, reordered refills a 3rd time, finally got our refills. It was a little ridiculous to have to wait almost 50 minutes for a refill on a root beer and a water. Luckily it was a longer movie and we had time to drink them before it was time to go. Food was good but service after the first Waiter was sub par at best.

The theater inside is clean and looks more expensive than the ticket prices would have you think. I did just move from Colorado so it may be that ticket prices here are just cheaper overall. The food is good. Much better than what you would get from a regular theater that sells nachos and a few other food items. It is overpriced, but coming from a movie theater, it's really not that bad. The only thing I wish the theater had is recliners throughout. The recliners seem to only be in the front rows, and the back of the theater with stadium seating is regular seats. I prefer to sit near the back, but also prefer recliners; so I usually sit in the last row of the front section, if that makes sense. Overall it's always been a good experience coming here.

I wish it were easier to find what kind of seats are in each theater. Are they all the same? Are there some with recliners? I've enjoyed it every time I've been there. The food is good, the drinks are good, the prices are reasonable, the theater was a little warm this time but nothing terrible. I will drive to this one over the one closer to my home because it's newer, fancier, more comfortable seats.
