I didn’t know what to expect when heading to Ridgeway Cinema Grill tonight but it is the cutest theater. I love the retro feel of it, but they also have done a great job updating the theater to modern taste. The food was delicious (there’s even wine!) and when the staff got our order wrong (one of our entrees was not rung up on the receipt), they gave us our burger for free! The bathrooms were also very clean and updated. I’m impressed and look forward to going back.

The only negative is finding it the first time. Dont believe I can find it a second time without Google navigating me. Great gem of a location. Small and cozy. Alcoholic drinks available at a price. Recommended!!

Small yet clean. Friendly fast service. Snacks are expensive as usual. Seats are comfortable. Though the rows are odd seating is adequate in the small theatres.

Although the screens in this theater are limited in comparison to the IMAX, the huge, cushy seats are quite comfy, and the menu is one of the best in the City. Also, the owners of this theater are a bit more daring than most, meaning you are guaranteed to find at least one local, foreign or otherwise culturally-significant movie screenings in one of the four viewing theaters. Also, you dont have to sneak in your wine. They have a wine and beer bar with decent selections and reasonable pricing.

Love this theaters layout. Stadium seating is comfortable and people do not step on your feet when they get up and come back during the movie. Have yet to have a bad view from any seat. The concession stand has nicer snacks than just popcorn and candy bars.

This movie theater has four screens and generally plays indie movies and foreign films with a few more popular titles thrown in. Concessions has wine and beer as well as a more upscale selection of snacks than the average theater. There is not a huge amount of parking for disabled customers, so come a bit early if you need a good spot. Very comfortable chairs with big armrests and lean back seating. This theater is one of the best in the city.

Very nice, neat, clean and quiet theatre. Seemed like a great place for the late 20s and above age range. The restrooms, well the womens, were very clean. However, I was UPSET that the concession stand closed before I could get a refill on my popcorn and drink. I would have liked to know they were going to close early prior to purchasing and/or leaving with my items. I do understand the workers have to clean up after movies, but let people know!!! Simple as that. They wouldve received 5 stars if it werent for this flaw.

Remains a quality quiet relaxing place to go for many years now. Crowd always mature. Enjoy the service and food.

You will find more Art House type films here and foreign films as opposed to mainstream movie theaters. there is usually a great selection of four or five films playing at any given time

I love this smaller roomed theater with big comfy chairs! That you can order food and they will bring it to you is just the cherry on top. Folks are friendly and helpful. Usually not long lines to stand in and they move them quickly. Great experience!

Love the theatre, but I wont be back until you reconsider your pricing. $12 for a matinee is way off the mark.

My favorite place to see a movie. Hardly ever super crowded. Customer service is great.

Review №14

Always a nice place to catch a flick. They show some of the smaller, more artsy movies, which I prefer over the CGI blockbusters. Great seating.

Review №15

This theatre shows films that seem to fit an older, more cultural genre. It is also safer than many theatres.

Review №16

1st time at this theater but it wont be the last. This theater of also has a bar-and-grill and they will serve you in the theater. The seating Was fantastic with wide rows and very large heavily upholstered recliner style seats. It felt like it was a cut above theater. Would be a great place for a movie date.

This is a very nice cinema in East Memphis. If youve never been, Google the address and let your GPS or phone guide you. This theatre isnt located on a major street. Its located in an office park. In fact, the corporate office for the cinemas ownership group is in the same building as the theatre. This theatre is very small. It only has four screens and the theaters themselves dont have an exorbitant number of seats. This cinema tends to show movies that appeal to an older crowd. In fact, youre likely to see more senior adults at this theatre as opposed to teens. This theatre shows more drama type films and documentaries as opposed to Star Wars, Indiana Jones, etc. For example, last time I was there, I saw Wont You Be My Neighbor? The seats in the theaters are HUGE with plenty of leg room and cup holders for your drink. The theaters are generally very clean. Your shoes wont squeak when you walk in the theaters because of spills, etc. No popcorn boxes and candy wrappers all over the place either. This theater has a bar for those that like a drink with their movie. Additionally, my wife has a movie pass and it worked fine at this theatre.

Quaint, throwback theater serving beer, wine, and an assortment of pub-like foods. Tend to show more artsy and independent films. Most comfortable seating of any theater Ive been to in recent memory.

Best movie theater in town. Huge, comfortable seats. Upscale refreshments. You can order lunch or dinner and theyll serve you in the theater while you watch the movie. Always clean. Rarely very crowded. They tend to cater to the adult crowd.

My favorite theater in Memphis! Comfortable padded seats. They offer real food, beer and wine, in addition to the standard movie theater items. If a popular movie is playing, be sure to arrive early!

Our favorite place for those movies critics like. Comfy comfy chairs. There is a full menu and some wine and cheese type options. The theater rooms are a little long and narrow but that doesn’t bother me. Older people are regulars here.

Review №33

This is one of the most comfortable theatres Ive been too. The seats are very large and you have ample leg room and elbow space. They only have four screens so not everything will be playing here. They do serve wine and beer along with some small plates such as a sausage and cheese plate and small pizza. They do have your normal theatre food such as candy, popcorn, and soda if you prefer.

Best theatre in Memphis. Total hidden gem! Make sure to order dinner and beer and wait to be served!!

Review №35

This is the coolest movie theater. The movies are very unique and small budget, typically indie films, and the food is very good too. Its nice being able to get an adult beverage while seeing a film as well. This is a great place for date night and its right across the street from Benihanas if youd like to have a decent dinner prior to your movie!

My favorite movie theater. Great seating with room to move around. They pick good movies to show. Grill has good food to enjoy while watching the movie. We drive from Hernando to go to the Ridgeway, about 25 miles. Worth the drive.

All the staff were polite and fun. Great selection of independent movies with roomy, extra.comfortavle chairs. I love the fact there is a full bar to upgrade the movie experience. I will make this my choice movie theater.

Review №42

Spent $27 for 1 ticket, maybe 4oz glass of wine, a cheese plate that had rotten blueberries, and a pretzel. (All way over priced but thats movie theaters now) I asked for a cup of ice because I have medical condition that causes my throat to get very dry. I am not allowed to bring my own water. I was told that they have to charge for everything. Since when do you prefer to loose the sale albeit only $27 than allow your customers something as simple a water? Excluding my $8 ticket you made $19 for less than $5 worth of goods.

Review №43

Cosy, quiet four screen theater that caters to the independent and niche film crowd. Comfortable leather seats. Standard movie snacks like popcorn and sodas are available; as are options such as lemon meringue pie, grilled chicken salad, & a fruit and cheese sampler. Several beer and wine options to choose from. The theater isnt swarming with teens and children. Ridgeway draws a more mature audience.

Favorite theater in Memphis! Comfortable seating and friendly staff! The crowd is usually older and respect others by not talking during the movie, which is nice. The gem of all Malco theaters in Memphis for sure!

Review №48

Really nice, comfortable seats. Screen 4 (only one Ive been in) is shaped weirdly long, so the screen does feel smaller than it is. And they left the lights on dim through the entire movie, which was distracting.Nice enough place to see movies that arent playing anywhere else nearby, but the lighting thing was very off-putting.

Great film selections that arent always mainstream blockbusters, super clean, great concessions, easy to get to with no lines, and THE SEATS are awesome! Its my favorite Malco location.

Review №50

This theater has 4 movie screens and it is a pretty small place. Sometimes the timing of the movies arent perfect so you gave large groups of people waiting with no where to stand. Also, the screens arent that big and there really isnt a good seat. The seats are very big and comfortable though.

Review №53

I went and saw the newest Mission Impossible movie here and honestly I kept asking myself why I hadnt been there before. Its sort of hidden on Ridgeway...dont ask me specifics. Im directionally challenged! Thank goodness for GPS. Its in an office park type complex and doesnt look like a movie theatre at all.After you buy a ticket, theres a concession stand. You can get your standard concessions OR they have the grill menu there as well. Pretty standard...hamburger, salad, wings, pizza, etc. You get a number and tell them what movie youll be seeing.Theres four screens only here. The seats are AMAZING. Big, plush leather chairs. When your food is ready they bring it in to you. My ONLY complaint is that there were no tables to eat off of. But I will say, the food was better than I thought it would be.Its definitely an enjoyable experience. Its a theater that tends to mix it up with indies and blockbuster movies. A great movie going experience!

This is by far the best theater in Memphis. It is small and cozy with the best theater seats ever. They serve great food and my personal favorite... WINE!!! The crowd is an older and calmer crowd so you dont have to worry about rambunctious teens beating you down after the movie.I love this theater.

Review №59

You sometimes forget its there but you will not forget when you go. Seats are soft and spacious. They serve wine and food. Beware - matinee ends at 4:00 after that the tickets are $9.00. Overall, I wasnt too upset that I missed the matinee by 10 minutes because the ambiance was 1st class.

Grown up movie theatre. Great SEATs. Also Makes you feel young to go there because everyone is older than you. But seats are great. Food is okay but I prefer to cross or get out on poplar where there are good options.Those seats! I drive out of my way to go there.

Review №65

Ridgeway is a low key 4 screen theater with the best seating in town. Even when the theater is full you dont feel surrounded by people. Some seats even have a small ledge or surface to set food and items on. The screens are smaller, but they play movies you cant usually find around town so youll catch a fair share of indie and foreign films. They serve alcohol and have actual desserts which makes for a good date night.

Fantastic movie theater. I just wish the seats were taller. I feel my hips coming off their natural position every time I try to sit down or get up. The seats feel like toddler seats.

Great place to go. I never saw this in any other malco theatre, and that there is a restaurant when your in the movie and recliners which both are really good

Review №74

I cannot say enough good things about this movie theater. I just competitively priced which shocked me a lot because of how nice it is. They have wine and cheese available at the concession stand instead of in addition to the regular soda and popcorn. The seats are extremely nice, they recline and they are well cushioned and very comfortable. The theater in my experience has been great. I went to see Three Billboards Outside of Ebbing Missouri and when I went they were very few people in the theater in the theater was quiet and it was a very relaxing very enjoyable movie for the same price that I would pay to go to another theater somewhere else and have a worse experience. It appears from the other movies at this place was offering at the time that I went that they play a lot of movies that the main theaters are not carrying which I love. I love being able to come and see more low-key or independent films in a wonderful setting like this and I highly recommend this theater for a date night.

Review №81

Tucked away within the i-240 office parks, this 4 theatre venue plays smaller films and attracts a more mature crowd. Prices are pretty standard. One awesome and subtle aspect is the concession offerings. This place sells beer/wine and gourmet snacks. These items are not hawked very loudly but do carry a monopolized price tag ($6-8 beers). Very comfortable atmosphere.

Te
Review №82

Smaller venue. Popcorn and drink are quite pricy.

Ji
Review №83

Being the home office, it does not necessarily cater, to the younger generation, which is a big plus. More adult oriented atmosphere. The grill is nice.The studios have first class type spacious leather seats with ample space between them. However, the seats are starting to show their age and most are in need of general maintenance.We had to move locations three times in order to find a seat that did not lean too far back, (ie weakened springs). Otherwise would have given 5stars.

Great selection of films not available anywhere else in town. Older audience and friendly staff. Great food and adult beverages, only downside is the price and quantity. Overall good theater, especially for a date night.

This is my favorite movie theater in the Memphis area. It is a small theater with only 4 screens. The seats are so comfortable. If you are hungry for more than popcorn and candy they have you covered. They will even bring your food when it is ready.

Review №86

I love this theaters seats, but the screens are small, and its a good place to see a movie if youre frustrated with peoples constant need to be on their phones at full luminosity during a movie. The crowd is usually older, much, much older, and they dont seem to screen movies that attract a younger crowd. Also Ive been to several film fests of different varieties and had a great time. The seats are wide and have a tray table built in for their food service. Also beer and wine is served here. Ive never had any food except popcorn and a soda. Their prices have gone up on concessions which is outta sight to begin with!

The parent of the Forest Hill Irene location, its always a leisure to watch a movie at Ridgeway Cinema.Unfortunately, when I went, they were not serving anything from the grill, and the popcorn was a tad bit too salty (typical, right?). But all in all, it is one of my favorite places to go.

I love catching an independent movie here! This movie theater is small (4 screens), but so comfy. It was recently renovated so the seats are plush and larger than the average movie theater seat. The concession stand features a selection of wine and beer in addition to meals cooked in their kitchen, which you can eat while you watch your movie. Its wonderful!
