First time this theater and it was an incredible experience. Movies for $4. They have 3 theaters and the seats are very comfortable. Its set up with tables in front of the chairs with lots of leg room. You can order a variety of food and drinks and they bring your food to you before the movie starts and they clean up when you leave. Best movie experience Ive ever had. Definitely will be going there again.
I have always ejenjoy going here to see movies and I hope that you will be able to return
Northern Lights is awesome! They have affordable tickets, tasty food, and a decent beer selection! It’s a great place for a date night! Once all of this COVID chaos calms down, I cannot wait to come back for another movie night!
I have nothing but good things to say about Northern Lights. Went there to watch the Super Bowl, go KC. Northern lights rocks. The food is really good. The prices are very reasonable. And the staff is always friendly and helpful. Me and my girlfriend have been going for years,and always have a good time. From movies to stand up comedy and sporting events. Theres no other place in Salem that can really compare.
Fantastic date night and the prices are afordable for delicious food. Check out the light greek wrap or taco salad. If you order a large youll want to share because the portions are enormous. Staff is friendly, welcoming and funny. One time, we arrived and there were not two seats available together, they have us generous complimentary tickets to another show.
This theater is hidden behind the Panda Express and Chipotle building on Commercial. One picture is coming from the north and the other the south (Id say which ones, but Google keeps changing the order).This a great second run movie theater. Decent meals are available, as well as dessert. The plus is the beer, wine, and cider; however - unfortunately - that is not served at the earlier movies (before 4).
If you want to dine at the Ritz dont go here but if you want a nice movie and meal at a very reasonable price then this is the place to go.Good food that isnt way over priced. Inexpensive films. Comfortable seats. Friendly service. What else is there to say? Try it out for yourself and see how you like it.
Ive had less than stellar experiences at Northern Lights before, but nothing ever malicious... Always because of so many people attending. Todays visit was exemplary. The staff was friendly, no wait times in lines, the food was excellent as always, and the movies were good. I cant wait to go back again.
Cheap ticket prices for slightly older movies, good food, beer, & service. I was pleased with my visit, would definitely return hopefully after Covid19
One of our favorites! Great price, good food and beverages to consume during the show, clean facility! A really nice alternative to first run theatres if you either miss a film or can wait a couple months to see it.
Dont go to the movies often but we had wanted to try this for awhile. We went with another couple. I enjoyed it! It was clean and the staff were polite and helpful. The cost for the movie was very reasonable, $4.00. The food was as you would expect a bit high but not exorbitant. My hamburger and garlic parmesan fries was about $12 and quite good. Be careful of the desserts. My wife had a half sunday and it was almost more than she could eat. My hot apple crisp and ice cream was fantastic and I had to share it with 2 other people! There was plenty of room to enjoy your meal and the staggered starts of the movies keep the lobby from being to crowded. Check their website for the menu and tips on when to show up and how things work. We had a good time and will be back.
We just had a birthday party here and it was so much fun. Everything was perfect and Brandi was amazing coordinating everything for us! We had a kids party but this would also be a great adult gathering/party spot.
Beautiful place, very unique. The staff is friendly, and the watching experience is superb. The sound quality is spot on, and the visuals are really good. The only way the experience would be better is if the seats would recline back a little bit.
Ive been coming to Northern lights since their opening. The food is consistently good with reasonable prices and good portions. The theater is always clean and the movies sound and look good and are easily viewed from anywhere in the room. Employees are always quick, friendly and helpful. The only complaints I have are the theater seats are kind of odd, if I sat all the way back in the seat, my butt went further than the edge of the seat cushion at the back so there was a little bit of empty space at the back of my chair and the back edge of the seat cushion dug into me. The last few times Ive gone, the theater has also been pretty crowded and theres been almost no parking and Ive had to park around the corner at the very back of the lot and walk. Its not a very long walk but I feel uncomfortable walking back to my car alone in the dark to an area that no one can see so to those walking to their cars alone be cautious.
Great staff. Amazing price on tickets. Lots of food choices. And tables for you to eat at while you watch your movie. They do some great things for the community.
Went for the first time.. Amazing
Great place to catch a movie. Small, cozy theaters, with tables in front of each row. Very reasonable prices on tickets and food. Super friendly service.
I had a great time. Staff was helpful.. Food overall, not bad.. Just like any movie theater, food prices are going to be higher than normal at other establishments. I myself didnt let this discourage me from ordering any food to eat while I watched my show. And yes they do have alcohol there as well..
Honestly, we gave this a try and wont be going back. In theory the idea of a pub movie theater sounds like a great idea. But if the food is terrible, youd be better off ordering delivery, and watching the movie in the comfort of your own home. This one of these places an entrepreneur should buy, completely give it a make over, hire actual cooks and really make something of it.
This is a childhood place for me and its never let me down!! I love this place its not to expensive but its still amazing!!
Had a wonderful time at the Valentine Dinner & movie. Great service and the meal was delicious. I will definitely come again and tell all my friends what a wonderful place !!!!!
Friendly service and a great place to enjoy a bite of food.
If you cant afford the prices of the other movie houses in Salem, and you dont mind waiting awhile, you get to see top notch movies at a much reduced price....good for my wallet. Seating is cool with tables to hold your food orders...and its great food. I like the relaxed atmosphere.
Amazing value, excellent customer services and decent food. See a movie and have dinner for the price you would pay to see a movie at another theater! $4 normal Admission when I went yesterday. So throw in a burger for maybe $8-10. Dinner and a movie date for about $30, good luck finding that somewhere else. And the theaters are comfortable and clean, abundant parking, bathrooms are nice. The only choke point is ordering food if they get a rush but even there they have plenty of help and after you order you can wait in the theater, they bring it to you. Highly recommend! Also, watch for special activities on weekends etc, including for children.
Great place for families to watch movies! Huge menu to order food from and great customer service skills to boot!!! Could it be possible to offer popcorn deals for LARGE families? Thank you for the wonderful experience.
Watched Downtown Abbey movie here while on vacation. You sit in regular theater style seats ... but there is a dining table in front of you. Prices are great. Loved it !!
Tight space. Soda prices too high. 32oz for $4.25. Might as well sneak you own soda in. Candy prices good. Overall great bang for your buck.
For the price, Northern Lights cant be beat!! The theater seems a bit run down, but I noticed they had new chairs last time I was there which was a great upgrade! Comfy seating, decently priced snack type food and $4 for a movie - awesome in my book!
Food is great! Movie options always keep you on your toes and its a nice alternative to your standard theatre.
Awesome place for a date night on a budget. I would love to see more comfortable seating, but overall a great experience!
Came to the venue because they put on some comedy shows. The theater worked great for the event. The menu looks really impressive but all I had was popcorn, which was popping as they sold it.
Fabulous venue! Very comfortable and I like small theatre feel. First time we were there; 1 adult, freshman, and an 8th grader. Will be back!!!
Whats not to love?! I honestly enjoy coming here over the big theatres. Keep it up yall! I appreciate it.
Great food, comfortable setting, friendly service with amazing prices! Especially for large familys! It gives me the chance to take everyone out way more then just once a month or so. Any outing, birthday, family event or even date night is now affordable an in the budget! Lol thank you for being there for us!
Would have been a lot more enjoyable if the a)c wasnt full blast ! We were all soooppp cold by the end of the movie I couldnt wait to leave !
Love the $4 price of admission, food & drinks are way cheaper than a regal cinema!! Love the popcorn, I even go in on my way home sometimes & just buy a large popcorn! Seats can definitely use some work, but hey what do you expect for $4. You want a nice comfy, seat/reclinerc, watch a movie from home or go pay $14 at a regal cinema!
Good place to check out comedy. Havent seen a movie. Food is plentiful just not high quality.
Took two of our grandbabies we really enjoyed the experience the help were very attentive extra helpful and kind will definitely doing it again
This is a great place to go see movies for a reasonable price and also have a pretty good meals, also for a reasonable price. Staff at Northern Lights are attentive and helpful and give great customer service. I just wish they could start showing the UFC again which I enjoyed going to see, but I understand the fact that the fights cost so much to get now, it has priced everybody out from watching them.
Great place for the family to visit. Good beer. Inexpensive admission prices for movies
Awesome for a cheaper movie experience or if you just wanted to see something you missed on its initial run in the theater. The food could be better but overall its not enough to deter you from enjoying a movie here. Excellent for kids also.
Always fun watching movies here. Great prices on food and beverages.
Ive been here too many times to count! And I always have a great experience :) The movies are great quality, food is great, the staff is nice, and the new seats are amazing! The chicken strips are my favorite and way better than any restaurant Ive been to!
Wonderful place. Super good. Saw Midway today. Really good movie.
Weve always loved coming here, we moved recently & we werent able to make it back here for a few mo tha & we finally were able to a couple weeks ago & they have updated their tables & seating with more comfortable reclining seats!
Awesome place food is good prices are good too. Staff are great and its a clean theater. Highly recommend
Ive been going here as long as I can remember, and each time, without fail they deliver! I absolutely love their prices for everything, and the food there is delicious. Also, my experience watching the movie itself is also great every time. I highly recommend going there at least once.
Great place to see a movie. Good price and good food.
Its ticket is quite cheap and reasonable. However, it seems quite old facilities and design. I wish it can be invested more in the future.
Very great prices and the food tastes great! I did get sick that night, but its way more likely its from the sheer volume I consumed in the darkness than it was because of any other problems with the food!
Saw Zombie land 2, Tried a Pineapple Cider, it was good.. Whats better than Food, a Drink, & a Movie?
I love this place you can watch a second run movie for only $4 can actual dinner and a beer best place in town and its a great place to bring a date spot and you will not be disappointed at all and I mention its also locally owned
I enjoyed the movie and food tremendously. The only thing that keeps me from giving 5 stars is that it was so cold in the theater I had to get my coat. It still didnt keep me warm.
The guy taking tickets was absolutely rude when checking mine and my boyfriends IDs and the food made me puke. I have always loved this theatre and will probably return but Im not ordering food there again.
Nice experience and inexpensive movies. I felt the food prices were a little high but overall good place to watch a movie.
Awsome deserts.freindly people.great atmosphere
I enjoyed watching the Joker. Morbid and I loved it.
Great food, great beer, good family atmosphere. They have second movies but inexpensive tickets.
Love this place. Affordable movie tickets, excellent nachos and grapefruit cider
I love this theater. What great prices for movies!!!
Did not expect the quality of the picture! Just as good as watching it during the actual release! The sound is very good as well! Would highly recommend!
I love coming here. It is comfortable, relaxed and a wicked bargain!!
I love this place. I get a piece of pie and a beer every time. It is great the prices the staff. The place is super clean and comfortable without the crazy pricing.
The best place to eat, drink and be entertained.
Love this place! Decent food, great prices. Okay drink selection.
Its a great place to watch a movie if you have kids. Very cheap tickets, movie screens are in a good quality, sound is just fine, the kids wont know the difference from those over expensive theaters.
Fun and cheap second run cinema
Love this place needs more verity of movies like family Movies
Its great when the chamber of commerce has their greeters meetings at northern lights food is marvelous nice selection comfortable seating you dont feel crowded and a table in front of you so that you dont have to try to hold the plate on your lap. What more could you ask for when youre listening to a lot of people talking? Great acoustics for hearing the speakers. Im glad when business is go ahead and have the meeting at northern lights its easy to get to and its very comfortable to be there.
Love this place. Friendly staff, yummy food and it’s great to know you can still go out to a movie and not flat-line your bank account! My thanks to the owners! I appreciate Northern lights! Every city should have one!
Good place to watch a movie at an inexpensive price. Not fancy but clean, cool on a hot day. I thought good sound.
We love this theatre! The tickets are reasonably priced and its very clean inside. The staff is friendly and the menu has a large variety. I did not enjoy the taco salad I ordered though, and remember the good being higher quality; Im glad they gave me a fork to eat it with, because it was filled with bottom of the bag chips impossible to scoop with.
The movie was good. The movie prives are good. The food, not so much. Especially for how expensive it was.
Great affordable outing for the family. Good selection of beer and food. Been here at least 30 times now - always a positive experience.
Great place to watch a movie and have dinner brought right to you in the theater. Great date night.
They definitely make their money on the food! Movie and atmosphere wise, this place is very worth it!
Its so affordable you just cant beat the price
Awesome theatre. The seats are a bit flat and worn but the food is great the prices are excellent and even the theatres themselves have spaciousness, nice big tables for your food and drink. The screens are good. Great date night place
Fun, inexpensive, with tables in front of the seats so you can eat while watching a movie. They have a menu with burgers, etc.
You have to wait a little longer for the good movies to get here, but the prices are Sooo worth the wait! The set up is nice for multiple kids too. Snacks are decently priced. Nothing fancy but the kids dont notice the difference :)Also you can usually get a buy one get one free coupon for tickets in the coupon books that are mailed out. I think they are in the Janco Saver..?
My husband and I love coming here for date nights - dinner and movie. The theater has fewer seats so they can have tables in front of you for your food. The menu isnt fancy (sandwiches, wraps, salad, pizza), but its good. Great desserts too, and the prices are very reasonable (even for popcorn and soda), especially compared to the Regal Cinema theaters. They also have beer and wine, with evening shows restricted to adults. At $4 a ticket, this is the best bargain in town!
Friendly staff, very clean facilities and good prices.
Comfy atmosphere and dont feel all compacted in
$4 movies/good food/good drinks so no more!
Food & affordable movies - whats not to love?
Great deal ... food, beverages and movies ...AWESOME!
Absolutely love this place! Just wish it wasnt so far away. Well worth the trip though! Excellent for family or a date night! Highly recommended!
If you dont want to spend a ton of money on a movie and like junk food, this is a good place to go.
Great for movies! The food is a bit more reasonably priced than most theaters. Still $$$.
Great place to see discounted movies prices and relax with dinner at your seat.
Love this Dinner and a movie concept. Food is good. The prices are reasonably low. The only thing that would make it five star would be the reclining chairs.
Good experience every time we have gone there. The prices are right and they have a great menu for both food and adult drinks. Only complaint is it could be a bit cleaner in the individual theaters themselves.
Love this place, environment, food, seating arrangements and shows and costs!!
Fun place to see movies and eat good food.
Weird but good I guess
Took my 11yr old to the movies, had a great time. Long food / drink line but we couldve gotten there a little earlier. Great staff. Cleanliness was good food is tasty
You can order food and beer and then watch the movie in comfortable seats.
Always a wonderful treat when we go here.
