Roadhouse Cinemas - Scottsdale

So much fun! Great staff and great happy hour. The screening rooms are so intimate and service throughout the movie is priceless. Will be back for sure ?

Been coming here for years. Loved this place, key word LOVED. Took the family to see Sound of Freedom and they had “AC failures” just in our theater. They didn’t come in and apologized or say anything. Everyone stayed the entire movie. So proud of them. But this place just lost my business, we go to the movies 8-10 times a year. But they will never see our money again! Manager should of came in and said sorry.

Our family's go to movie theater. Easily because of the popcorn, relaxed seating, dining options, and available show times. Bathrooms are always clean and plentiful. Only issue is that every time we ask for extra bowls for the popcorn we have to ring the staff again because it's most often forgotten. Even then, they are very attentive to coming back. Great customer service!

By pure coincidence, I found my new all-time favorite theatre, Roadhouse Cinemas, which is located about half-a-mile from the staycation resort I was at for the weekend. It was absolutely the most unique-looking, inside/out, theatre and had an absolute awesome feature: “Screening Rooms” which are tiny, 13-person-max auditoriums, as if you were the producers/studio looking at the dailies or final pre-release cut. My ONLY gripe – the movie didn’t fit the whole screen. In fact, it looked kind of small on a very large screen for the room size.But, the sound, seats and full staff were EXCELLENT. Reclining chairs were very nice and it had a moveable try for your food – it’s a dine-in experience. I definitely took advantage of that, but only ordered a big-bowl-of-popcorn and my first sodas in a long while. (I don’t drink the stuff anymore, but I just wanted an old-fashioned movie-theatre-going recollection. And WOOOOW, that was a freaking HUGE bowl of Popcorn. I couldn’t even finish it. PLUS, in addition, with the price tag (of only $10!! they give you another HUGE bag to go. This was another reason I got the popcorn and also because I was planning on pizza for dinner following. They say it’s award-winning popcorn, but I just got the plain kind (they have multiple coatings. I’m an original-popcorn lover. It was very good.My waiter was cute and very friendly. (Also, he was #2 of 3 people that complimented my NES-Jason Voorhees shirt today. ? So, I tipped him pretty good. That said, I sat RIGHT next to 4 elderly women, the only other patrons there. When it came time to tip the guy, one woman said, “Oh, I don’t normally tip them. (She then looked at the bill and with a surprise look, she concluded with Oh, I would leave a dollar for that.” Awww, so sad. Now I’m extra glad I gave like a 33% tip.HIGHLY recommend this place located at 9090 E Indian Bend Rd, Scottsdale, AZ 85250. If you live in the Valley, you absolutely need to travel any distance to go here. Plus, you’re supporting local business people. AMC is absolutely going downhill fast. And I’m glad there is a great alternative to them. Or so they tell me. Their website lists this one in Scottsdale, a second in Tucson, AZ and third in Colorado Springs, CO. Maybe they’re not franchised out and locals run them.

Atmosphere was fun. Service was not great. They forgot part of our order, didn’t respond to our calls, were really noisy in the hallway while bringing in orders, then closed our bill before we could order anything else. Management take note that better training could result in better sales. We were ready to spend more money but were denied the opportunity.
