| - Our Town Cinemas definitely has a "hometown" vibe. I dig it. Came here for the first time 2 weeks ago to see a movie that came out 2 days prior. Thinking it would be sold out, I purchased tickets in advance online. I paid $3 extra online, so $20 total for 2 tickets to a matinee show. Saw people purchase tickets the day of with no issue. No line either. Oh well. Now, I know I don't need to purchase in advance. Showed my email confirmation to the lady at the booth and she handed me my tickets.
Just like other reviewers said, this place is nothing like your typical movie theatre. It's a lot smaller. They only have four movie screens. Each theatre has office-like leather, rolling seats and bistro tables. Surprisingly, they do have a kitchen and offer more food items than AMC or Regal. OTC's extensive menu consists of hot and fresh items such as dinner baskets (sandwiches, burgers, wraps, chicken tenders, etc) pizzas, snacks (mozarella sticks, veggie & hummus, fries, etc) and of course popcorn and candy. Their drink menu includes beer, wine, and specialty drinks. However, specialty drinks do not contain liquor. It's more like malt beverages. My S.O. ordered a local beer and I ordered a glass of riesling as well as funnel cake fries. Our total was around $14. The lady at the counter handed us our drink orders and a flameless LED light candle with a number on it. That's how they know where to bring your food. Neat idea. My funnel cake fries arrived within minutes and were still hot. They were crispy and sweet, just like funnel cake at the fair but in a different shape.
To be honest, I was a bit turned off when I found out about the seats, but to my surprise, the chairs were actually pretty comfy. I still prefer leather, reclining seats but these office chairs were adjustable and didn't give us any issues during the movie.
The staff was friendly and helpful. They answered all our questions and even gave us samples of drinks when we were trying to decide. Movie ticket prices are comparable to big chains. Plenty of parking. Would I return? Definitely.
