Cinema Cafe - Riverdale

Place looks old and is outdated but it is a nice movie theatre. It's quieter than the huge theatres in the area and the food is awesome. Hidden gem for sure. The chicken nachos were great!

Although this location isn’t updated with the new style chairs. I love the Old School chair vibes. They play good classic music as you’re walking the hallways. Customer service was great. I didn’t get freshly popped popcorn after I requested it, but it was a slow day, so understandable, I guess.

I am leaving this 5-Star review strictly for the staff at this place! I bought the wrong day tickets and was unaware and nearly had a complete melt-down at the check in counter yes, I'm that much of an emotional wreck and called myself a dumb idiot. The WONDERFUL lady working the ticket counter immediately spoke with her manager and fixed us up with 2 of the same tickets for that day. Without me having to ask her because at that point I had stepped to the side to take some deep breaths. After the movie I thanked her again and she walked me out while giving me a pep talk, hugging me, and telling me to never call myself dumb again. I haven't experienced kindness like in this I'm not sure how long! I was absolutely touched and honored to have met her - what a sweet, amazing woman. Talk about going above and beyond!

4 stars cause the customer service was great and the food was decent. But this place literally STINKSSSSS. It needs a deep cleaning, and the smell stays on you when you leave. Took a shower immediately when I got home.

Good movie theater overall. Sound quality was great and so was the food. Looks a bit outdated, guessing Cinema Cafe corporate hasnt gotten to this one yet. It took over 25 minutes for a server to get our food orders red button was pushed. I wound up having to go find a server since one wasn't assigned to our theater. They were very apologetic and the food came out very fast. Would go to again though.

The servers took a really really long time to take our order. Food came out relatively fast, we got that before we got our drinks. Which took way too long for a pitcher of soda and a couple cups. The theatre room itself smelt like pee to be honest. Probably won’t be going back.

The person working the ticket counter had a nasty attitude towards me and everyone else. The person taking the order acted like he didn’t want to be doing his job. Overall the food was okay, bonus points for it being hot. The portions and prices were not it. We payed 7.99 for 9 funnel fries with barely any powdered sugar. The seats are also very uncomfortable. The large popcorn is way overpriced for what you get. I could pay that same amount at regal and get 10x more.

Firstly, the concept of a cinema cafe is intriguing and sets the stage for a unique movie-watching experience. The idea of being able to enjoy a meal while watching a film is appealing, and it is an aspect of The Cinema Cafe that initially drew me in. Unfortunately, my visit to The Hampton Cinema Cafe left much to be desired. The tables were placed in such proximity that it was rather difficult to navigate through the dining area comfortably. This lack of space made the overall experience feel cramped and somewhat uncomfortable. Moreover, the service at The Cinema Cafe was inconsistent. While some staff members were friendly and prompt in attending to guests, others seemed disinterested and inattentive. This inconsistency in service detracted from the overall enjoyment of the visit. Another area of concern was the quality and variety of the menu items. While the concept of enjoying a meal while watching a movie is intriguing, the execution fell flat. The food options at The Cinema Cafe were limited and lacked diversity. Additionally, the quality of the food was mediocre at best, leaving much to be desired in terms of taste and presentation. One positive aspect of The Cinema Cafe was the selection of movies available. They showcased a decent range of movies, catering to various genres and tastes. This was a redeeming factor, as it provided an opportunity to enjoy a film that suited individual preferences. In summary, while The Cinema Cafe has an intriguing concept and a decent movie selection, there were several areas in which it fell short. The crowded seating area, inconsistent service, and mediocre menu options detracted from the overall experience. Should improvements be made in these areas, The Cinema Cafe may regain its potential and offer a more enjoyable movie-watching experience.

Staff very friendly came midday with kiddos, disappointed with long wait time for waiter to arrive. I actually had to walk out the theatre to find staff to ask if anyone was coming. The theatre was empty besides us but still if the button is pushed it should be answered timely especially since not packed at all. They were very apologetic but it makes me understand more why I go to the Edinburgh location but unfortunately the movie we wanted to see wasn’t showing at that particular location.. the waiter just told me that the buttons don’t work so they have to check in regularly. This seems like a simple maintenance fix. Please fix it. Respectfully! Thank the lord for your amazing staff or this could have took another turn for the worst!

This place is absolutely! Phenomenal! The food was great! The customer service was incredible! All around a great experience for us all. Thank you, cinema cafe
