Our small group rented out the screening room upstairs, which was a great size. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. Kriste and her crew made everything so easy and fun. I highly recommend Elks Theatre, and its especially nice to support a local business in downtown Rapid City.

The Elks Theatre has been a great theatre for second run movies at very reasonable prices in Rapid City for over 20 years. The seats are comfortable and the concessions are reasonable.During the pandemic, it has continued to operate, within CDC guidelines, showing third run (and older) movies which Ive enjoyed seeing back on the big screen.Many thanks to the Elks for providing continued great, affordable entertainment at reasonable prices.

The Elks is a wonderful theatre. It has a small surprise too. A Dolby mini-theater that is so charming and posh that it is worth the climb.

We love going to The Elks in general, but we’ve really loved the popcorn delivery during the shutdown. It’s been a great experience every time! Today we tried curbside, and it was just as wonderful. I had to call 3 times due to my own unpreparedness, and the employee who answered each time, Hannah, was so helpful and patient. Despite having to answer all those calls and deal with the multiple disrespect customers we watched come through, Hannah stayed friendly and pleasant. Thanks for another great experience!

A true gem of old Rapid City. Nostalgic theater charm. Great value pricing on movies and food. I think its over 100 years old, however nicely updated. Has the traditional main theater with slightly downward sloping seating and a traditional balcony. A couple of smaller screens are upstairs. There are a good bit of stairs to the lower restrooms, up to the balcony and to the upper screens. There is however a restroom on the main floor for handicap and the elderly. Very nice nostalgic movie theater.

The elks is a wonderful theater with 2 screens. There are plenty comfortable seats and tickets are a decent price. However, I wish there was more staff supervision of the theater during the movie, especially up on the balcony where popcorn likes to rain down onto the people below. Overall, its a wonderful theater. (Best theater popcorn in rapid city.)

I love the Elks Theatre. Great service, awesome movies. Superb prices! Military discount is a plus too! I swore off paying full (over) price for a movie and will only see it at the Elks. Seats are comfortable and popcorn is always yummy!

Elks Theater does not disappoint. Classic movie goers experience with friendly staff and good pricing. I always order a jungle pack with extra butter and a $2 caramel popcorn and slowly add it to my regular popcorn in the jungle pack. Much love for this theater.

Review №32

I love the Elks. The place reverberates with history and harkens to a bygone era. If you prefer ultra-modern theaters, you may not enjoy it as much as I do, but the movie ambiance in the Elks is just awesome. The main screen is huge, with balcony seating - and the upstairs (up a lot of stairs) room has an intimate home theater feel to it. Its neat to sit before the feature starts and think about the fact that performances were taking place in this theater before they even started carving Mt. Rushmore. Cool place!

Review №33

I love the Elks! It is so cute! The prices are so worth it and they have a rewards card that gets a free movie after 9 movies. They staff are so friendly and there are good deals on certain days. They are updating their seats, and still maintain their quality prices.

Updated, historical theater with a small business feel. They are true members of the community. They help with fundraisers, community events, and remember you when you come back. Love the Elks and their kind, friendly, and helpful staff!

The Elks Theater has recently remodeled and still has the best popcorn in RC! Seats are comfortable and there is always a movie that you missed in other theaters. I often take the grandkids there to catch a film they missed or even want to see again. The staff is very friendly and welcoming and can be reached by phone - no kidding, no recording before opening hours. I have attended their film festivals, which are always great. There is also a film series featuring film classics.Their website has all the info.

This is an awesome home town movie theater. Located in downtown Rapid City near the Alex Johnson hotel. It offers several different viewing screen from a large area to a more cozy setting. The rates are only $5 a person per movie and they offer a military discount whether active or retired. Concession stand was very reasonable. They have recently updated their seating to a more comfortable chair. If you would like to visit a nostalgic Hometown theater this would be the one to see. They show modern movies up-to-date.

Review №58

Hands down the best popcorn in Rapid City, in my opinion, & they have some special root beer that is delicious as well. Add to that the friendly staff & historic building & you have the perfect combination to win my business. They also do a Nostalgia Night series every Sunday from January through March where they show old movies from the 30s - 60s which is really fun.I will say that, being a historic building, the seating arrangement is a little different & larger people (such as myself) may find some of the rows lacking in legroom, but if you sit near an aisle it isnt too bad & even when you go to a crowded movie & have to be a little cramped, the positives still outweigh this minor inconvenience for me--but your priorities may differ.

Review №87

Great movie theater. Very cool having the two screen sizes. Some movies we wait to see on the smaller screen for the more intimate setting while love the huge screen for the action flicks! Only reason docked one star is that the movie schedule for the weekend does not come out until the end of the week. By then we have made plans and have missed a couple movies we would have gone to instead.

Review №88

The Elks is a great place for movies. It might not be the newest of shows but it is all fair in price and accommodations. Its a place a person can afford to take their kids or drop them off for some entertainment and not break the bank before entering the doors. I have no complaints at all about this place. Tickets, snack, drinks, ad options are all very reasonable to me based on the cost difference to the mainstream movie theaters that are around.
