Alamo Drafthouse Cinema Richardson

Been coming since it opened. Staff is usually great, theater is clean, food is good. I’m not giving it 5 stars due to the crazy high prices since reopening after Covid. $7.50 for ONE basic drink is bonkers. We should have paid attention to the fine print for drinks before ordering, but it didn’t even occur to me as it’s habit. I would have never expected to pay $15 for a soda and tea. That’s a whole other meal. Other prices are up as well, but that one hits the hardest.

The theater itself was not bad. In fact, it had an odd old school feel to it. I thought I’d walked into something from the 60’s or 70’s. The dated look actually is a pretty cool look for this particular location.We were looking for a place to chill off the side of the highway while a tough rain went through Dallas. The main issue I had with the company itself was prices. One appetizer and two meals ended up costing $70. We paid $30 for a movie (which I must say was the worst ever, “Book Club 2”; terrible, but that’s a different story).The food was not bad, but do think your prices should be re evaluated. In the future, we will probably just have dinner somewhere else before attending a movie.By the way, our waiter was fantastic and helpful.

Visited this past weekend. They were short staffed. Coke Zero tasted like garbage they said it was because the syrup ran out (then why serve it to me? And we only ordered popcorn to eat and it took over an hour to get that (while the gentleman next to ate not only one, but two of the bottomless popcorn before we got ours They did take the coke zero and popcorn off our tab but overall a big disappointment. Makes a good case for bringing in your own snacks.

Came here today for the Barbie movie. Food was good, we had the fried pickles. Got soft drinks and a milkshake. Hubby loves that they use Amy's ice cream for the shakes. Fun props for photo opportunities for the movie. Had a great time.

Popped in to watch a Wes Anderson movie, Asteroid City, with a couple of family members. The ordering system is not high tech, but it works, and the service is okay. The food is good, albeit, a bit on the expensive side. The atmosphere they have is very good for watching movies. Will definitely go back.
