I love coming here. Extremely comfortable, clean, and, you can reserve your seats. I also love that they have a bar, and nice food to order. A bit pricey but I don’t mind.

Beautiful new theater in downtown Memphis TN. The service still needs improvement. Waited a while for order and our entree came out before our appetizer which we thought was funny. So many food items missing from menu that was posted online as available. I believe it will get better so I will return.

Since powerhouse opened, I exclusively come here for new releases. Experience is always easy, their grill has a good menu, and the recliner seating is the best. If you book your seat in the MXT theater, you’ll still have a comfy chair but won’t recline.

This place is recommended. It was nice to get out the house and enjoy a movie with a friend.

Very nice new exciting movie theater ! Awesome way to have a dinner and movie night all in one place! Good food awesome seating great movie theater. We will definitely visit again ! Its so convenient and it wasnt very packed either which was a plus. Also we could eat our dinner in the movie theater right as we watched the movie so it felt like home. Everyone I encountered was awesome great personalities and great customer service! Btw we watched Captain Marvel! Great movie !

What a great addition to Downtown. So glad they are open again! The BEST place to see a movie!

First time visiting last night and I must say I was thoroughly impressed.

It has a restaurant and bar inside. Nice decors and comfy seats.

I enjoyed the comfort and size of this theater. The seats are great and recline comfortably. The staff was nice and the service was good. The one and only thing I wasnt into is how close the bottom row is to the screen, causing the viewer to have to look way up to see the screen at an angle. If you sit in any row that isnt the front row, youre good, BUT they assign seats on your tickets, so if youre banished to the first row, too bad. When I went someone else got my ticket, so Im not sure if you can pick seats or not, but I tried to move and then realized I was sitting in someone elses seat once the movie started, not fun.

Comfortable seating...good surround sound. Great atmosphere. The theaters are small so if going to see a popular movie at a popular time I would recommend buying tickets online so you can pick your seat ahead for time. Front row seats are not the best even when you recline.

I went to see Captain Marvel. Theater is clean & sound is excellent. The seats were spacious & reclined. Restroom was clean as well

Beautiful, modern, Malco movie theater has a restaurant/grill. Its only bar type food. You can order and take food inside theater if you choose. This theater does not deliver food to your seat. Lazy Boy type seats recline if you want to relax, as if home. They have 6 screens and sometimes same movie is showing on 2 or 3 screens. Matinee movie ticket cost almost as much as night time movie ticket. Counter helper says Tuesday is discount day at $7 per ticket. If you live outside of Memphis in the east of Shelby County, keep going to the Collierville or the Olive Branch locations. I will. I wanted to check out the new Malco thinking it was like a big city theater where you can order food and drinks from your movie seat and it be delivered. Memphis got a little short changed in the most modern movie experience department. Still, its a beautiful facility.

Beautiful facility with nice theaters that have adjustable leather seats. Excellent quality projection and sound. Free parking. Tuesday’s are discounted entry day.

Clean, but get your food & drink provisions before the movie because you get to carry your tray from the grill to your seat...handy tray plugs into armrest. Food is good though from the grill which operates as a stand alone restaurant. Good service in the grill.

Wow. The place is BEAUTIFUL but boy do they have work to do. Its PACKED even on Sunday. They arent ready for it. We walked to the restaurant but there was a long line and no direction. I asked if we could order and get it in the theater or if we could get it and take it in the theater and I was told eventually yes, but not right now because the have to figure everything out. However, as I stood in line for popcorn and hotdogs I saw people walking into the theaters with food. When I got to the front of the concessions line they were out of hot dogs... I wish there was a better selection at concessions. How hard is it to have some healthy options like a grilled chicken sandwich or salad. it just seems like a huge opportunity to make money thats just being passed on. There are all kinds of healthy or prepackaged finger foods that could be sold. May be this will be addressed when the food delivery is working correctly. It would also be awesome to be able to order drinks while you watch the movie to be delivered to your seat!I really think it has a ton of potential but they just arent ready yet. Will change my review to a 5 if they get it all right. Right now they just arent delivering on what was promised. I dont think they expected crowds this large. People were just hanging around watching TV and ordering food. It just made it feel like nothing was big enough. Concession lines were long. Restaurant lines were long. Just not enough organization. Employees were nice but overwhelmed.Giving it a 4 because the MXT Screen is boss. Will be a 5 when they get everything worked out. It really is an awesome theater.

I was there for the South Main Association meeting and it was a very lovely venue. We got a chance to hear the Manager speak and provide awesome details about the space, as well as watch a few previews in the MXT Extreme Theater. The screen was huge and the seats were so comfortable I could nap lol. It was amazing and the staff was super polite and helpful. Great addition to the city!

I am so glad that we have a theater in the downtown area now and hopefully we could keep it up. Its a nice facility through and through. The theater was breathtaking and I love the recliner seats. I was enjoying the show with my feet kicked up LOL. Tickets are rather pricey but well worth it. The staff went above and beyond, they wished everyone a safe ride home when we were leaving out of the theater. I was a little disappointed there werent many movies to choose from but I still enjoyed myself. I will be back.

Love the whole cinematic experience and the reclining seats take it to a different level of comfort!

I enjoyed watching Bad Boys in MXT..this was my first time at this theater. It was very neat and clean. Beautiful. The restroom was conducive...also very neat and clean. The seats were extremely comfortable.

The only reason I didnt give 5 stars, the hostess in the Bar/Grill. She was not knowledgeable, slightly rude, and not helpful. Otherwise, it was a great experience. Will return and recommend to others.

This is the nicest theater in town. The recliner seats are ridiculously comfortable.

Wow! This is a sharp looking place. Only got a soda for the movie, but this is the slickest looking movie theater Ive seen in a long while. Luxurious recliner style seating. The seating is such that it doesnt look like anyone is sitting in front of you. This is a Memphis jewel, a classy place to see first run movies.

I love this theater! Very nice friendly service. Great safe feeling atmosphere.

Best beyond theater and only theater I will ever go to. Have been twice now.. its amazing. Alot have the new awesome reclining seats.. but beyond 5 stars!

The building is comfortable for patrons waiting for a movie: plush leather sofa and loveseat in the lobby area with a fireplace and TV as well. The dining area is moderate size to get a bite to eat. The actual theater rooms are equipped with plush leather reclining chairs. The restrooms are nice but could use extra cleaning from the staff.

LOVE THIS THEATER ! We live in Ark and it was nice not to have to drive an hour..The Seats are so comfortable! We ate after the movie and the food wasnt over priced and delicious. This theater is definitely worth a couple bucks extra..Thank you Malco

This was our first time going to celebrate my sons birthday, and it was wonderful! We ate at the Bar & Grill. They serve mostly appetizers; however, it was delicious. I also ordered a Sex On The Beach drink. It was to die for. It had the right amount of juice and alcohol in it. We were able to take our food and beverages in the Theater, which was awesome. The manager and employees were very nice. The theater was exceptionally clean. It does have reclining, leather seats. The cup holders were big enough to hold our trays with our food. Its a little pricey, but you can expect that being downtown. Its well worth it. We will be returning.

This is the best theater, hands down. Best seats not only in a theater, but just the best seats in general. Best atmosphere. Wasnt packed when I was there.

Had a chance to visit this theater recently for an early screening of Harriet through the National Civil Rights Museum. I had no idea before this that there was a Malco Theater in the downtown area. It is a nice venue with comfortable recliner style chairs They have a grill so you can get more than just the typical movie accoutrements but they have those too. The real winner for me is the fact that they have a huge free parking lot....almost unheard in for a building this size in downtown Memphis.

Awesome new theater with electric recliners but no tables in the movie for the food. The seats are incredibly close to the screen in the first 3 rows. Experience would incline you to pick seats in the back next time. Must choose seats right next to strangers or system beeps at you. The food looks delicious but seems from frozen. The BBQ sauce was most likely commissary so they earn their star back lol. The manager made me feel like I was the one being managed, it’s a small eating space he needs to take a step back and quit circling. Unless he would like to hear about the disappointing burger patty. But who wants to do that on their anniversary. Make sure you park in the lot, they tow quickly out front. Security is around. No military discount. All in all, still a premium theater in comparison and snack bar was still cheaper than some I’ve seen.

I didnt purchase any refreshments so I cant comment on that aspect but I can on others. The theater was a beautiful place and the fireplace room was great. The movie room we were in was extremely nice... Comfortable and relaxing recliners, with plenty of room for people to pass by, helped to make it an easy transition for late comers and bathroom visitors. Definitely will return and recommend to friends.

Movies are always fun. Of course, I dont know who wouldnt like it. Its such a nice building and provides comfort. Maybe, Ill check out more showings too. I havent been satisfied with the showings Ive seen.

Excellent place to enjoy a movie and a very tasty meal if desired while watching your movie. The staff always provide great customer service. The movie theaters are very comfortable with reclining seats. You get to choose your seats. This is now my favorite place to watch a movie.

Great setup. Cozy inside, and seating. Love the area in which its placed. Whoever had this idea... Thanks! Bad boys for life!

Staff were helpful and polite. Enjoyed the scenery. Great food, excellent restaurant, and great seatings. The best place for dining and movies the best combination there is.

We really enjoyed ourselves The food was delicious!

This new state of the art theatre is contemporary, modern, hip, & SOOOO comfortable! The staff at the ticket counter is Very organized, fast paced & patient at the same time... the restaurant is quaint, & kind of steampunk modern, with nice food- (if youre hungry skip the appetizer section, small portions). The inside of it is Not too big, but Also has many seats around the bar, & theres patio seating.. The assistant manager Leo was accommodating, funny, & attentive. Saw Avengers Endgame in the Extreme Theater, LOVED IT... awesome sound and very cozy seats.. Dont come there if youre already sleepy!

We decided to visit the Malco Powerhouse on its first full day of business to see Captain Marvel. We initially had our doubts due to its location but all fear quickly dissolved.Pulling onto the parking lot we automatically felt safe, from the covered parking to the security cameras and guards the brand new building was a shining jewel in the neighborhood. Waking into the building we were blown away by how nice everything was.To eat our family tried a variety of items, my daughter had the hotdog, my wife had the hamburger on gluten free bun with fries and I had the bbq nachos. Cost was a bit high but exactly what you would expect now a days from movie theaters and everything was delicious.Having assigned seating was a major perk and the seats were super comfortable with plenty of room between aisles. The room we watched our movie in was equipped with the ATMOS surround sound which was one heck of an experience!Overall we cannot recommend visiting the brand new Malco Powerhouse Cinema in downtown Memphis and we can’t wait to go again!

You can get real food there. I had a cheeseburger and I was very relaxed . I didnt have to hold it in my hand. They give you a tray its a great set up.

VERY RUDE STAFF. Did not want to take the time to explain seating. Service was rushed and inconsiderate. It was my first time going and I do not plan on coming back. Employee behind the concession did not even speak, just used head nods and hand gestures as a form of communication. Although the theater is very nice itself the TERRIBLE customer service trumps everything else. I do not plan to spend anymore of my money there AT ALL! Would leave no stars if possible!!

Love the seating. The food was good. Ive had the wine and mixed drinks. Overall a nice theatre.

Great views from anywhere in the theater. Nice surround sound. Reclining chairs are very comfortable and roomy. There is a nice bar, but the food was just OK.

Atmosphere was nice. Screen viewing excellent. Seats very relaxing.

Absolutely love the reclining movie chair. The prices are fair and consistent and below cost of most other places. Nice restaurant and bar inside sometimes you can order food and they will bring it to you while your watching a movie during certain days and hours. ** I would recommend this to anyone **

Yeah I wish I could crank 5 the initial buy9mg tickets/getting food process couldve been better tho

Nice environment. Enjoyed a meal in the restaurant / grill, bar. Watched Ford vs Ferrari and the Sears are really roomy and comfortable.

Nice and clean. Of course its new so we will see as time goes on. Parking is accessible to be downtown. Parking is directly behind the theater with plenty of space and some spaces have covered parking. The sit down restaurant food was pretty good. Nice menu selection. Staff was friendly. They dont play all movies but if they have what you want to see playing I would give it a try. Its a small theater but cozy and not cramped.

This place is AWESOME! I dont even know where to start. The place looks amazing! The sound is unbelievable. The staff is really nice and enthusiastic. I cant wait to try pretty much all the food on the menu. Oh, and if you are meeting friends there and just happen to arrive early, you can sip an Old Dominicks whiskey, distilled right down the street, while you wait on the leather couch by the fireplace. Yes, you read that correctly! Malco Powerhouse Cinema, you just single-handedly bumped Memphis TWO points up the cosmopolitan scale. I love Memphis fantastic new cinema!Update: Several people have asked about parking so I posted a photo of the clean, safe, well lighted, partially covered parking area! Seriously, this place is awesome! Come see for yourself!

This place is great! Awesome service and phenomenal prices. The seats are super comfy

Honestly the best theatre in Memphis. They have a bar and grill. The food is actually pretty darn good. You can take your drinks to the theater and enjoy your movie with your favorite drink. The house drinks brewed there in Memphis are excellent. They sell many kinds but the home beer is great. The ghost river gold is sold in a bottle which I prefer in a draft but was still really good. The theatre is pretty new and the seats recline and are leathered up. I highly recommend this place.

Slick environment, and a decent restaurant/bar, but theyve never implemented in-seat service, so plan ahead if want to eat and drink. It could take a while, and you have to wait in the restaurant and carry your things to your theater, so you dont really get the premium experience youre paying for. Most seats are full recliners, but beware that theater #6 is not, and there is no way to know that ahead of time. Those seats are new and wide, but a little too high for short people to be comfortable.

Went twice. Both times order was wrong. Waitress didnt skip a beat when it came to chastising me before she checked the receipt and the menu. When she found out she was wrong.....she tried to push the meal off on me as if it was my fault. I did not get a resounding apology. She talked to me as if i was bothering her. The place was empty at lunch time. I paid for my food and only ate three bites......not worth lack of customer service. I feel that if i was a different color o of a certain affluence, my sandwich would have been taken back or not even charged to me. Poor service and even less empathy. Not coming here again.

The service was exceptional, the seating is comfortable and the sound/video is crisp. I highly recommend to come if only to experience downtown Memphis

Wonderful service from the time I entered the place.

My first time visiting I think this place is overrated. We went to see bad boys ll. Overall my experience was ok. I missed parts of the movie waiting on the food which took about 25-30 min. I could not understand what took so long when it was a wednesday, and it wasnt very busy. I had a chicken panini and it was just ok.

This theater looks really nice and has potential . My son and I visited on opening weekend of The Avengers Endgame. We arrived at 12 noon, and was told that the 12:20 showing was sold out, which was understandable. We were also told that the 12:50 showing was also sold out and that the only seats available for the 1:30 and 2:00 showing would be on the front row. I agreed and purchased the tickets. My son and I decided that we would enjoy some items from the grill area. We waited to be seated like the sign said. No one came to greet us or seat us. I happened to see the general manager walk past and asked how do we go about being served. He replied that they were not selling food, only drinks. I look around and every one is eating. I asked how they could get food and we couldnt. He told me that they were really behind on orders and they couldnt serve any more food until they were caught up. He was polite and refunded my money. Overall this experience was a waste of time and gas.

A great addition to downtown! We went to the bar/restaurant before the movie and the BBQ pizza was actually very good. The theaters are very nice and the chairs are very comfy compared to what I am used to in other local theaters. Definitely will make this the one we come to every time!

I love this movie theater and the seats recline. Great place for a date or just hanging out with the children watching a good movie.

One of the best movie theaters in Memphis hands down. Great atmosphere with a nice fireplace.

Honestly one of my new favorite places in Memphis. Not only is the building itself beautiful, the tech dedicated to an awesome audio visual experience is impressive. There was no line for concessions, bathrooms and facilities were clean, parking was easy, and the employees were friendly. Love it! Well worth the drive downtown.

The theater and food were great, the service wasnt. Reclining chairs it the theater itself, the thickest bacon Ive ever seen, but we never saw our waitress after we placed our order until we chased her down to get our bill.

Very nice clean place great food and the theater seats just swallow you up

People working the concessions were more worried about goofing around than helping customers, when they finally did take my order they continued to clown around and talk to their coworkers, not a nice experience. Seems like a management issue. The bathroom garbage was over flowing, is there not someone assigned that job. Someone needs to keep a better eye on the kids who are working. That being said, the theater is super nice and comfortable

It was my first time there with my two boys and it was a good time with them. We will be back.

Theatre is great and seats are comfy. I do not recommend trying to get a drink or concessions here. The bar is so understaffed the wait time at 7PM on a Tuesday is around 20 minutes for a drink. Do yourself a favor and dont try to get a beer or wine here.

Wins BEST seats in town ! Great theater, very good parking. Highly recommend.

Nice place to grab a few drinks and movies! Nice little classy lobby and atmosphere.

Great sound and picture and the seats!! So comfy. This is my new favorite choice for the movies. Also the bar is quite good.The place is just opening and it is expected that a few things wont run perfectly the first few days. They will catch up and Ill be there any moment soon.

Great place to see a movie dressed as a unicorn. The staff is incredibly professional and the theater is immaculate. 10/10 will be back.

Super comfortable reclining seats.Good sound system.I like the idea of assigned seatsWould have given 5 stars but the bar / Grill is super slow.I just wanted to refresh my drink not take a 20-minute break from the movie

The best theater in Memphis probably next to the imax. The architecture is amazing the lighting is good. They also have reclining seats which is always a plus. The attendants show you to your seats during big block busters which helps during those big films. Make sure you buy your tickets in advance however. A lot of people like to go to this one.

Theater is pretty, and seats/audio/screens are very nice, industry premium. Assigned seating so make sure you buy tickets online.Terrible service when it comes to food and drink from the bar/grill. No takeout orders or delivery service to your seats, you must be seated in a restaurant chair before you can order, but they are slow and ignore impatient customers. No system for letting them know you want to make movie on time. You can take food and drink into theater, after its arrived.Make sure you get there one hour before showtime if you want anything to drink/eat from the bar/grill - thats everything on the menu posted online, beer, wine, liquor.

I don’t have enough nice things to say! Beautifully designed, wonderful customer service, DELICIOUS food, the recliner seats were extremely comfy. Even the bathroom was impressive with its glowy lighting, beautiful tile work and very clean everything. The only negative thing I could say is that it is pricey, but for all that we got/experienced, I believe every penny was well spent. This will be our new home theatre from now on. Keep up the good work Malco.

Honestly the worst service I’ve ever had at a dine in theater. When you go to a theater that has a full menu and reserved seating, what is suppose to happen is you order your food and the staff will bring it to your seat so you don’t have to wait around. Here you have to be sitting at one of the tables in the bar area to order the food to then take to your seats. You can’t even place a to go order at the bar at an order window. But you can easily go order a drink at the bar and then walk away with it. Don’t waste your time trying to do dinner and a movie. I’m honestly not the type to complain and write reviews, but each time we’ve had a worse experience than the last. And every time the wait staff gets ruder and ruder. They need to adopt the system of bringing your food to your seat. If not, then why have reserved seating and why have a restaurant that lets you bring the food into the theater. Other than that the theaters are nice and the seating is nice and I love having reserved seating, but the poor service and lack of organization with the restaurant ruins the experience. Please fix this soon.

A movie theatre was much needed downtown so I am glad that the Powerhouse Cinema is finally open! Its brand spanking new so its quite clean but also has some kinks to work out. There are reclining seats in the theatres and at some point in the future, patrons will be able to order food & drink to their seat! So far, so good.

Great time. The actual theater was clean. The mens room couldve have used a cleaning but overall...not an issue!!

Great service and food. Cant wait to go back.

Have a couple of drinks before you see your movie, thats great! I love to go to the bar area 1st before the movie starts

We had a great time.It was only 9 of us in the movie tonight but the food was great and the movie was awesome

We had tickets reserved and couldn’t make it due to unfortunate circumstances but I called them and Tameko (hope I spelled her name right) changed our date for us so we didn’t lose our money! She was an absolute pleasure on the phone and completely understood our changes! Thank you ma’am for helping us out! ️️

Great theatre comfy seating and great food in restaurant

Love the seats they are nice. The overall theater is really nice and a beautiful addition to downtown Memphis. I suggest buying tickets in advance so you can choose your seating. Otherwise on a busy night you might get stuck with whatever is left. In which if your on a date like I was we were not able to sit together so we had to pick another movie.

The restaurant is overpriced but the seating is amazing and comfortable with the reclining chairs!

Place was a very nice theater. They have a restaurant/bar located in the theater that has cool movie themed cocktails, draft beer, and good food. We got movie tickets, a few drinks, and food to enjoy our movie. Also the theaters are very nice, clean, and comfy.

Comfy assigned seating so buy your tickets early! The new theater is beautiful and they seem to have Clean Teams that maje sure each audience has a fresh experience. Admission is a few dollars more but worth it for the comfort. Well-lit and widely-lined parking is on the site of the Farmers Market.

Honey this is the best Ive ever seen but dont take your kids though just a date night type thing.

The best movie theater in Memphis

It felt pretty clean and a great place to watch movies with friends and family. And it has security inside and outside the theater.

This theatre is very nice! I love that they have some covered parking. While it is a little small, when you walk into the movie it doesnt have a small feel. The chairs are oh so plush and comfy! Have yet to try out the menu, will do that next time.

The sound is great and the seats are comfortable. The lady beside me really enjoyed her nachos, so I guess theyre great, too.

First time going to this particular theater. Its very nice

A new place and new experience! The Bar & Grill area was decent but it seems like it dont get many visits or I just didnt go at to see a film during the Bar & Grill poplar times. The recliner chairs is a great thoughtful change for years normal. Many ways to sit and cuddle yourself in them. Id make this my main theatre to visit for films.

Just ok. Nice ambiance. Wontons were...ok. Strawberry margarita was good. Please know you will pay $10 for much less than what a shot glass holds so never again.

Its nice. The reclining chair are cool as well.

Great location. Nice and quaint. Great seating

My boyfriend and I came here on a Thursday at 12 oclock. We walked in and got out tickets for the 12:30 showing of captain Marvel. We looked around and asked about where we can get food from. The guy pointed us in the direction. We got the the grill area to get food and the guy informed us that they are not doing the run it to theater at this time but you are more than welcome to order it, pay for it, and take it yourselves. We ordered our food I got the Memphis burger and my boyfriend got the chicken strips. After ordering the food I decided I wanted a drink. The bartender told me they didnt have an full bar they only had draft beers at the moment. I was a little upset but it was fine. Our food got to us pretty quick. Everything was hot but my burger was not worth $9. The fries with the burger was good but the bacon on it tasted like jerky there was no barbecue on the burger I had to ask for it. After getting everything we headed to the theater. The chairs were great and the quality of the movie and sound were great. No complaints there only complaint was with the grill part of it. Needless to say we will be eating before we go again because the food is not worth it.

The seats are worth everything but the establishment was exquisite, as far as movie theaters go.

Great new small theater, be prepared for a long wait in the concession line or trying to get anything from the restaurant.

Great place for a Date night. And free parking!

I go there for the food. Excellent service, my food is always hot and good.
