Dont waste your time !!! They said at the door they arent doing Dine -In because of COVID and not mention they dont even sell water or snacks to have in the theater SOOO Lame!!! They said its the citys rule against it but eating in a theatre doesnt have anything to do the virus??? The restaurants are open. Then we decided to get Wetzels Pretzels and eat it at the tables in the lobby and they said no outside food. Then we sat on the stairs and they said its a fire hazard lmaooo!!! I cant believe this.. with Joe Biden this COVOD rule BS will be even worse!! Im so over these rules it doesnt make anything fun!!!
This review is after my third trip to the new AMC Fashion District theater.Very clean and 21st Century look and feel.Employees are well trained and pleasant to customers.You pick your seat at time of purchase in case you order food that has to be brought in to you, the employee can locate you by seat number. Seats are very comfortable with button touch leg raise feature. A well stocked bar is there for those enjoying a beverage stronger than fountain soda.I have not eaten any of the burgers, but they are not cheap at $15.00 and some change. Perhaps it is a combo and comes with soda and a side of fries or onion rings. No idea frankly, but would make the price more understandable.I asked and was told that their hot dogs costs considerable less. Thank the lord for little favors.Tuesday is bargain day with all movies all day long for only $6.30 including tax!Well maybe there is a premium for 3D and other premium film formats on top of the $6.00 basic charge.When paying, you are likely to get a soft sales pitch for one of their paid AMC membership levels above the FREE option. But they are only suggestive, not obnoxious about it.Lastly, it is on the third level of the Fashion District, nestled between 14 lane ROUND1 Bowling Ally and ROUND! Game Room on opposite side.I expect I will be enjoying many bargain Tuesday movies here.Note: Some haters on Yelp. Someone saying this venue is incredibly dirty and horrible service Or something close to this. Not true. I see 150 movies on average yearly and wont attend a theater that is horribly dirty and has horrible service.
This theatre is located on the 3rd level of the newly opened mall on Market Street named, The Fashion District. I never experienced a Dine In movie theatre, so I gave it a try. The auditorium (#8) was large with stadium seating (recliner and heated). The digital projection was clear and sound was crisp. A very good film experience. For dining you go to the left after giving your ticket and place your order. It is then brought to your seat and placed on a swivel table to eat. The food selection is similar to a TGIFs. My Avocado Chicken Grill was tasty. Be prepared the cost is in the typical movie house price range and Philly has a hefty sugar beverage tax added. There are also alcoholic beverages available. I have no idea how they keep the floors clean, with serving food, but everything was clean. Ive included the menu in my photos. All in all, a nice Wednesday 4.30pm experience.
I really like going to the Fashion District the stores are great. I am very disappointed that there is no more indoor doning there . the food court is closed. If all the other restaurants are open in Center City then the Fashion Districts food court should definitely be opened.
Watched 1917 in theater 1 where Dolby digital was available. You can buy beer, wine fun the full bar outside and bring in it and you can also order certain types of food life for nachos to be brought to you during the movie. A large pale Ale will set you back $12 so you may wanna bring your own cans of beer here. Seats are like all AMC retractable with foot rest. Bathrooms clean but small so you may wanna leave asap end of the movie to relieve yourself.
Very mediocre theater. The options for dining in are pretty bad, if youre a vegetarian theres nothing for you and the food is extremely overpriced, just get popcorn.
Love love love love it oh my goodness the AMC is wonderful the only thing I will say is they need to add more food more and more menu they dont really have them its really nice comfortable massage chair big big big big screen comfortable Chill Touch phones go to the bar is really nice
I had a good experience with the AMC in the Fashion District. Customer service was great. The theater was clean and bright. I hope they keep it this way. No complaints with this theater. The seats recline and I had no problem with the movie quality. I waited to go on a Tuesday to get the $5 movie tickets. Popcorn was tasty.
Super comfy reclining heated seats, everything nicely spaced out, I felt comfortable with my safety while seeing the movie great to be back out!
The new fashion district is all that! I was very impressed with all it has to offer. AMC is wonderful. You can dine and watch a movie. For you adults there is alcoholic beverages. The game room is also impressive. Bowling allies. Large pool tables. Pinball machines. With food counters. A great place for making it a day of fun. A must visit on a off day. See you there.
One of the best movie experiences ever!! Attentive staff and clean environment!
The movie theater is on the top floor of a major downtown mall that is surrounded by bowling alley and a giant arcade so it is a nice place to spend some time with your family. The movie theater like most things downtown are not cheap and I even went to the matinee and the tickets were still incredibly high. The seats inside are heated, comfortable, and recliners so you are able to watch your movie in peace. Their is plenty of room in between the isles so you are not cramped and they it was one of the only places that I could watch a movie that all other theaters got ride of.
On the third floor of the new fashion district, this movie theater is incredible. Super comfy seats that recline, with personal tables for food/drinks. Big selection of food and drinks to get before the movie starts. Burgers, beers, etc. A large beer (20 oz) was $11.29 and burgers are $15ish but come with fries. The best part is it’s new, and there is an awesome bowling alley/bar/pool tables/arcade on the same floor of the theater that is also available. Very cool spot.
A great addition in the historic downtown of Philadelphia! Known as The Gallery before and some still calls it that. This place is a blessing for us who works downtown. I can go watch a movie in a neat environment and fairly priced ticket without having to drive or commute too far. The reclining seats are awesome. The screen and sound system is as good as it can get. An amusement place just outside of the theater is there if you want to just chill.
We saw 1917 in the Dolby theater a couple of days ago. Definitely the nicest theater in the area and we usually go to Plymouth Meeting. We both had burgers which came quickly and were passable. Theater was spotless although there was spilled popcorn all over by the soda machines.Get the Stubs Premiere membership; its $15 a year and allows you to go in the quicker line for food, gets rid of fees when you buy tickets, and you get points for your purchases. Well worth it!Hopefully Philly doesnt screw this up.
I’m a Philadelphia local who enjoys going to the movies. After AMC Broadstreet 7 no longer became a great option, due to a lack of comfort and cleanliness, I was hopeful for this theater. It’s located in a brand new, large shopping mall called the Fashion District- replacing The Gallery from years ago.My first few experiences at AMC Dine-in Fashion District 8 were pretty standard. Food was decent, service was decent, and theater was clean and comfortable with working reclining chairs. Now, after just a few short months, I’m back for my third experience. It’s awful to say the least. The staff seems uninterested and distracted. There is popcorn everywhere, and people waiting over 20 minutes to get into a movie that starts in 10 minutes.I understand that not everything, and not every theater, can be perfect. I’m not expecting perfection, just friendly staff who remotely cares, and a semi-clean theater. I am hoping this is just one experience. I’ll give them another shot, but after that- three strikes and you’re outta here.
Good movies right in the center city. Seats are not that comfy though.
Formerly known as the gallery, it cleaned up really well. The addition of a theater was surprising. The Theater boasts a bar and lounging area for you to hang while waiting for friends or for your movie to start. The concession is pricey (like any theater quite frankly). The food is okay at best. You may be better just grabbing popcorn and some candy as opposed to their heavier plates as theyre lack luster (at least in my eyes). Ive had wings and they were terrible in all honesty and there milkshakes are nothing to call home about. Having food delivered while seated though is nice and the chairs do recline all the way back. The IMAX experience is impressive. Final gripe, the kiosks do not take cash and I dont know if I was an isolated incident but AMC charged my card a near 2 weeks later after my purchase which is incredibly inconvenient.
If you are expecting a waiter to take your order at your seat or even to be able to use the AMC to place a food order, it aint gonna happen.That said, you can expect to wait on line at the concession stand to order that cheeseburger and THEN have it delivered to your seat. And apparently the Premiere line makes no difference here as the concession line was a free for all.Other than that, food was fine, movie worked and bathrooms were clean. So that.
I’m glad to have a movie theater in this location, but this place is not a true dine-in. You don’t order at your seat like at the Studio Movie Grill at 69th st. You have to go early to wait in line and order at the concession stand. The menu offerings are pretty limited (not what’s shown for their website) and they said no to our request to have the chicken for the tacos on a separate plate. The mozzarella sticks at Round 1 next door were tastier and cheaper than at the AMC and the theater burger and nachos were also mediocre and over-priced. We go to the movies a lot and will not add this place into our rotation despite the good location. It wasn’t horrible, just nothing to look forward to.
One of the best theaters around for watching movies but the food was a tragic. Even with expectations of overpriced so/so theater food...this was bad. Fries were good, but the chicken sandwich had...without hyperbole...the worst piece of chicken Ive ever put in my mouth. Stringy, tough, and the strangest texture that can only be described as somehow chalky. It was actually mildly challenging to eat it without gagging from physical interference, not taste. Taste wasnt horrible, but the piece of meat was so bad it pretty much made flavor a moot point. The privilege of this meal and a drink set me back $24For the rest of the theater the staff was kind, the seats were amazing, the sound and picture were, again, top tier. Just eat someplace else.
A welcomed addition to Center City! Its brand new, so the quality and cleanliness of the theaters are top notch. The staff is very friendly and eager to help.The only complaint I have is that sometimes the ticket taker is after the concession stand, so if you are an A-List member its awkward and challenging to hold your popcorn and your drink and also try to fish out your phone for your ticket and pull out your ID for them to verify. Maybe put a surface there so we can put down our snacks?Besides all that, this movie-going experience is perfect.
THIS THEATRE WAS AWESOME!!! THE CONCESSION GUY NAME JAY IS SO GREAT AND AWESOME AND AMAZING AND DESERVES A RAISE!.....and Angel too I guess. LOVE MY EXPERIENCE EVERYONE PLEASE GO THERE GET THE WESTERN BURGER AND PRETZEL BITES
I absolutely LOVE this theater. Always so clean. The theaters are spacious with super comfortable reclining AND HEATED!!! seats. Decent customer service and easy to navigate. My go-to theater!
LOVE our new theater in our amazing new mall! You order (real) food and they deliver it to your seat. I usually get the buffalo chicken sandwich and fries. milkshakes are good, too. they even have a bar. the Dolby theater has insane sound. and the premium theater has heated seats! This theater is baller. Come Patron this theater and mall to help them succeed.
Center City is in desperate need of a better theater experience. The theater itself was fine, I saw a film in their Dolby auditorium and the sound was awesome but the service here is anything but. I live just outside of walking distance so I called here the morning of my prepaid showing to see if they validate parking and they confirmed that they did.Upon leaving the theater after my movie was done, I felt like a detective trying to figure out which employee validates parking while committing the cardinal sin of distracting them from their phones. Then Im told that they dont validate past 6 PM, which was never mentioned when I called. Long story short, I had to bite the bullet on $24 for parking at the convention center garage. Im an AMC stubs member so I typically go to the movies multiple times a week but Ill be eliminating this location from my rotation. Do better AMC!
Nice addition for city-dwellers...most comfortable seating for any movie theater in the area. I really enjoyed the ability to recline and the seats were very cushy. I wasnt aware ahead of time that we would have to select specific seats on our ticket - it worked out ok, but I would advise people who want to come to this theater to reserve in advance so they are able to get seats together with their group.I didnt have any of the food or drinks so I cant comment on that. The staff at concessions were efficient and pleasant. However, the one area of failure was that the floors had food on them and the food tray on my seat and several others around me were dirty and had obviously not been cleaned between showings. For a place thats only been open for a couple of weeks, this was pretty disheartening.Ill keep going back for movies as I think its the best option in the city, but I hope that the cleaning is kept up.
Only problem I had is staff is learning, but that is to be expected with a new location. I had a burger and fries and soda, which I ordered about 5 ten minutes before my film and they brought it right to my seat before the feature started. Theater its had reclining seats with sliding tray which makes eating your food easier. The theater is a decent size compared to AMC on Broad Street. The sound quality is excellent, especially because you dont hear other theaters movies while watching yours. The location in the fashion district makes easy to get too because it right next Jefferson Station and Market Frankford line is not to far. As AMC A list member I am so thrilled to have a high quality movie experience in the city. So overall food is excellent, theater very comfortable and location awesome.
I love film and going to the movies. AMC is a huge part of the reason why. Their theaters are always well maintained, their staff is friendly, and their reclining seats are super comfortable. The new AMC at the fashion district is no exception. Ive been to Dine-In theaters before and I really like AMCs take on the concept. Also, I love that theres a Dolby theater located 10 minutes away from where I work. Looking forward to making this theater a regular hangout.
The food was delicious. It was served hot and it didnt take long after we ordered it for them to bring it. Over all a great experience. We will be going again.
Despite boasting heated seats, they are not available in their premium Prime theater. The food ordering was a bit annoying. Despite being able to order in advance at other theaters for seat delivery, you just do everything in person at the theater with a cashier. Then they only deliver you part of your order, and you have to carry everything else. The food was ok but not worth the price, but thats movie snacks for you. Its also completely dark when the movie starts, unlike Painters crossing (another dine in theater) that featured small lights at the seats to eat.
I loved the experience. Now I dont want to go to Amc Broad street, because its so nice n peaceful on Tuesday for seniors. Thank u for bringing this movie here.
The food service was great as well as the food. The recliners were super comfortable they heat up and everything. Very spacious, I didnt have to step on anyones toes to get pass them.
I was truly amazed on how much luv they put into this section of the mall. Philly has truly stepped there game up with this.! Fast food, Tons of new & remade classics arcade games, bowling, pool table adult bar & the Cherryon top is the AMC movie theater.... Dave & Busters who?
Zero zero zero clue how that business should be ran; covid-19 considerations ... They arent doing any food and yet absurdly reinforcing their no outside food policy
Actually had to change my rating from a 2 star to a 1 Star...This place NEEDS better Bartenders who can actually mix drinks. I asked for 2 non complicated drinks and each time the bartender messed up the drink order Only After I got passed up by other patrons who got to the bar area minutes after I’ve been sitting calmly there. It got to the point where I changed my mind about the drink order and canceled. Too bad I didn’t feel like working and coming across the counter and making the drink myself....AMC hiring department do better
Comfortable chairs that work. Dine in service is quick. They deliver near the beginning of the movie. Clean areas. Healthier food selection than most fast food things at theaters.
A little pricey but very well constructed comfortable theater. Menu options are great and they do in fact deliver to your seat. Thumbs up for Philly movie theaters.
Very nice theater. Very nice management. Good food also thats delivered to your seat. No complaints here. Heated seats also in their prime theater!
Seats were okay. But the quality of the food was laughably poor. Nothing like it was advertised. We weren’t expecting restaurant quality cuisine, but the fries were cold, the chicken tasted like it had been made hours earlier and left out, and the Mac and cheese tasted like it came out of a box. We essentially paid 50 dollars for fast food that was barely edible
Beautiful, brand new theater in Center City (downtown) Philadelphia. Wow! The heated, adjustable seats are amazing, as well as the armrests on both sides of the seat. If the theater is going to be a long-term success, they will need proactive ushers to watch the room and enforce no talking policies, etc.
Comfortable and clean. The milkshake and burger were delicious as well. Just lovely
The movie theater very nice. Pleather recliner seats you can order food or drinks and there bring it to your seat. Its a little more expensive than a regular theater but worth it every now and then.
The new movie theater is awesome! I had food the brussel sprouts were also awesome! Hopefully it will stay that way because it is in Center City Philadelphia.
Really tasty food, milkshakes are amazing, and the seats Are very comfy, wish there was more ideal parking but since its such a prime city location its expected, probably my favorite close by theater.
Great movie theater, went to see sonic movie there and if you order online you get 5$ drink and popcorn but this location doesn’t participate even though it doesn’t say it on the site
Had a lot of fun enjoyed myself with my nephews and my fiance went out downtown play pool it only takes a moment to make a moment have fun while you can dont let no one steal your joy
Beautiful space but they charge $1.00 to deliver food to your seat. No one knew where to get my parking validation. No scanners were available to scan the tickets from the phone, had to have them printed at guest services and the movie screen went black twice!
Center City of Philadelphia needed this so badly and this theatre is wonderful. The seats are so comfortable and you can order food and booze to your chair. It makes a great movie amazing, and a terrible movie still worth it!
It’s a pretty good theater, and not crowded on a Friday afternoon, which was pretty cool! I hope it stays like this, but since the place is new, maybe not. Either way, everything is clean, neat, and be patience because the staff is still learning. They’re very sweet people. (:
Fantastic movie viewing experience.
Food was good. Movie seats were great, and a nice upgrade! Rumble in the seats.
The front desk staff lack customer service skills and professionalism. I will not be returning. There were two positives polite server at seat and clean facility.
The arcade and bowling alley was great, a little pricey but i had a wonderful time, great for children parties and adults
This place is just another disappointment in the new “Fashion district” a pathetically empty, poorly designed redo of the failed gallery and gallery II. Our seats still had the residue from their last tenants. The girl who checked us in spoke so quietly couldn’t understand a thing she said. Little did we know that the film names were not on the theater. And don’t ask anyone because they don’t know. Only one concession clerk who didn’t know how to run the register and looked stoned. And by the way after hours you have to enter off Filbert St. but no signs to tell you that. Hope they improve everything or they will out of business like everything that’s been in that space before it. Oh and unlike other movie taverns you have to stand in the concession line then wait for your food to be delivered halfway into the film. Overall here twice, not going back.
Made it just in time for our movie, so the quick line at concessions and chairside delivery ensured we didnt miss any of our movie!
It was nice to eat and watch a movie. The food was good. However, the tables on the chairs were not cleaned properly and the concession stand and drink machine was filthy.
Me and my kids went to this place my kids had fun at a lot of games it was a fun place to be Ill go again it wasnt expensive its just that you didnt know what to play for there was so much to play but it was fun Econo is a little budget David Busters
The food was basic, nothing special about the chicken fingers. The roasted brussels sprouts were impressive as a side, with nice texture and great mix of spices and parmesan. The seats were the real plus - roomy, comfortable, and spacious legroom!
Great audio and video. Spectacular Archie tire. Dirty as hell from food and the visitors though.
The price isnt bad at all for what you are getting. Very comfortable chairs, loud, clear audio. Table service is great and the food is good enough.
Center City has been in need of a nice movie theater for a long time, however, we didnt need a dine-in theater. Good article in recent issue of Philadelphia Magazine that discusses what is wrong with dine-in concept.Theater patrons are often obnoxious enough, the dine in part only makes it worse.
A Brand New Mall self contained with the trendiest list of eateries, clothing stores and entertainment venues family friendly parking! In my travels..I think its 2nd only to the Mall of America in Bloomington, MN
Its kind of messy (needs to be cleaned better). Needs better management in my opinion.
The whole seat reclines, not just the back rest. Seats vibrates with the sound. Its impressive.
The new movie theatre is nice. Comfortable seats and can order food
Reclining seats and reasonably priced matinee tickets where you can pick your own seat.Drinks and Food are priced just like any other concessions (ie. Expensive)
I will be attending this theater on a more regular basis. Great Kitchen and Bar.
Nice theatre. The seats are great, and the place is very clean. The only downside is the price. Tickets arent cheap.
Comfortable seats, dine-in food and high quality film options make for a premium moviegoing experience. My new favorite AMC.
Food is middling. Go early to get your food—you order near where you get your popcorn. They serve you at your seat so you need your ticket.
Great first time here! It you want a chill vibes with good prices included them check this spot out.
Comfortable theater and seatsLarge selection food and full bar
Ordered food and drinks at the bar before my show. There was only 1 bar tender who was terrific but it took over a hour and half for my food to arrive to the bar area. The food was mediocre. I advised the Manager of my wait time and in turn offered me a free soda. When it came time for my Movie to start the theater was still being cleaned by staff. No to mention the womens bathroom was dirty.
First time here and will never return! I sat down instantly and I mean instantly the guy sitting behind my child and I gets up and aggressively and demanding me to shut my phone screen off. Frightened both my son and I by being so harsh. He then gets Ryan an employee. He came over and asked me not to go on my phome with no hesitation I said no proprob then tried to explain how frightened my child and I was by the man and his harshness. Ryan over talking me after I agreed to stay off my phone proceeds to antagonize how he will have no problem throwing my child and I out. Completely disgraceful to threaten my child and I after I agreed from the beginning. I guess this happens when you have nothing but children working. Also the words during the movie were all cutoff ar the bottom couldnt read subtitles
Very nice theater, the guy making drinks knew just how to make a LONG ISLAND ICE TEA. Movie was great and food was even better. JUST GET THE YOUNG KIDS IN CONTROL OR THE FASHION DISTRICT WILL LOSE BUSINESS.
Excellent dine in cinema venue! Very good food and drink options, full bar, stadium seating and adjustable seating make for a great experience!
The seat warmer is about the only plus. The drink area on a Sunday afternoon was nothing short of a disaster. 30 minutes to order popcorn that wasnt even good. I ate it anyway because I was starving but felt sick after. Also the napkins may just be toilet paper??
New..and fresh. Pray it stays like this. Movies,arcade, and today saw the bowling alleyMore stores have opened.
Nice and new. Have to go outside of theater to order food. Cant order from your seat.
Food was great and the service was great. The seats and sound in the theater was great!
Very good but to much money for chicken wings they gave me 8 wings for 22,50 ridicules but good plays to see a movie
Love everything about this place except the fact you still need to use paper tickets. I dont know why you cant just use the AMC app or your phone like Fandango to scan your tickets
Very nice next time no kids. Fun
First time coming to this theater since they reopened the mall.... all I have to say one of the cleanest, dopest AMC movie theater I been to so far
The seating here is so comfy in such a prominent location dont mess this one up!
Need more mature staff. Starting to get sloppy but overall I luv it here.
Very warm atmosphere and very comfortable seating.
I was highly disappointed in the fact that I was asked for my seat number but my food never came after 30 mins in an empty theater. I had to miss the beginning of my movie to go back out to inquire about my food. Some of the staff were on their phones which was a distraction and 1 even had in airpods when taking my order and I had to keep repeating the order to him.
The bartenders (NACIR)VERY SLOW HE NEVER FIX MY DRINK.ALL HE WAS FOCUSING ON IS THATING POEPLE MONEY. I ask for the money .back.I
The tickets here are way too expensive. It cost $37.77 for two people to see a movie. Obviously we didnt get any snacks. The experience isnt any better than other theaters in the area. I will not be coming back and would never recommend this as a place to see a movie.
I have not used the dine in feature, but the Dolby cinema has great sound and picture. Felt like being in an IMAX theater.
Movie theater is great only thing I don’t like is the cheers that they don’t recline alway back That’s why I giving it 4 stars they a lil uncomfortable other then that they sale real food they bring ur food to ur seat great place for a dinner movie date and now I don’t have to go alway out to the movie tavern I like what they going to downtown Philly
Its a great idea, but theres no sitdown to rest yourself areas close enough to the escalators.
