Not only does this theater play the current, popular movies, but it is in a great location with plenty of parking, nearby areas to eat or hang out before and after the movie, and close to the freeway.
The staff is always nice and their concessions has variety and they keep enough staff on hand to minimize the wait time on the long lines (lots of us regulars have loyalty cups and/or tee shirts for excellent pricing on soda and popcorn). Not only do they have matinee pricing for the early shows; they additionally offer discounted tickets with valid ID for seniors and students. The staff works hard to keep both interior and exterior clean and the floor is never sticky or gross (major plus!). Even the restrooms are well kept. Comfortable seating and successful line management for those extremely popular new releases makes the experience here complete.
Extra bonus... I had dropped my wallet in one of the theaters and it was promptly discovered and returned to the customer service by an employee, relieving me from the stress that would have definitely followed. So thankful and appreciative, but I would have written an excellent review of Harkins anyway, based on how awesome this chain in!!
