| - I've only been to Studio Movie Grill once, and it was after I bought MoviePass.
All I knew going in was that this was the closest place to my apartment in Noda so I had no preconceived notions about it at all. When we got inside the theater, it was super easy to get confirmed with our MoviePass tickets, and we headed upstairs to the theaters.
We weren't exactly sure where to go to get popcorn or drinks, but we passed a bar heading to the theaters and thought THAT was pretty cool. Who wouldn't want to get a little sloshed before seeing a movie?
After showing our ticket to the appropriate person, we were given a menu and directed to the correct theater. I didn't even know that SMG was one of those theaters that let you order food and drinks and stuff so THAT was a surprise.
They had a pretty good deal going of an appetizer and 2 entrees for $25 so my girlfriend and I did that. We got the pretzels with the queso - delicious - and both got the chicken tenders and fries. I was expecting a big ole plate of MEH on the tenders and fries but I thought both were actually really good.
I'm not exactly sure what other experiences other patrons have had, but I thought the serving staff did a good job of not making noise, not being distracting, and not getting in the way during the movie when fielding requests, getting drinks and food, and cleaning up the occasional broken glass.
All in all, I thought this was a really fun experience and definitely a nice change of pace for my movie-going experience. It had the "fun night out" vibe to it. I don't think I'll want to come here every time I go see a movie just because it's sort of a process, but we'll definitely be back sometime soon!
