Not pretty but best deal. Great concessions. Took.my kids there and now my grandkids. They like it best Because of the goodies they can get.

There was no one to check tickets so we just walked right into the theatre. The seats were fine. There were no sound or projection problems.

Staff is friendly and accommodating. Food and drinks are reasonable for a theater... the building is rundown but things still work. Great place to see a movie at a very cheap price...$2.50 days $3.00 nights... they show movies not in theaters anymore... not the newly released. Great way to check out a movie you missed when it was out in theaters.

I love coming here often with the kids. Ticket prices make it easier to take kids out of house often for a movie anytime of the day. Love how its not so crowded. Ppl working there are so nice, never a problem with them. Been coming here for years. We rarely play the games, as we focus on the movie more. As far as the cash only, not knowing about it, and atm, well...you live and you learn. Once you know, you know. As far as everything else everybody else complains about, I dont see it bcse Im not that picky. I know what I want, which is cheap movies often with the kiddos

If you like the smell of raw sewage you will enjoy seeing a movie here. Truly needs an immediate update and their plumbing fixed. The price is right only three bucks. Bring your nose plugs

Well, you can’t expect much for $3, very dirty place, try not to go to the bathroom (smells like old pee ), friendly staff (even nicer than the expensive movie teathers). So if you want something cheap this is the place.

The ticket prices couldnt be better. They have also always been kind to us. But the place is pretty dirty. When the lights are on in the theater you can see mold growing around the bottoms of the chairs. I love the movies and I love the sound design in the rooms but they could use an extra cleaning.

What a great deal. I would gladly wait for second runs. Even the food is less expensive.

Movie tickets for only $2.50! Not necessarily hottest running movies right now, but still a great choice. Theater is a bit old and worn, but okay. For that price it didnt bother me at all. Note, this place does not accept credit cards so make sure you have cash there is an ATM machine in the lobby if needed

I love this place. best bargain in town. employees are nice and patient. however, bathrooms need attention on a regular basis. like any movie theater, people NEED to turn off phones and NO TEXTING during the movie!!! this has become an epidemic!!

Price is Right for delayed view of recent movies. Agree with some of the other comments that the place looks a bit run down, more so on the inside, is somewhat clean and restrooms do show their age. I was sitting on the left side this time and found the sound from the theater to the left to be a little distracting. It was obviously an action movie with a lot of noise and the one I was watching was Judy, definitely a quiet drama except when she was singing. This was a spur-of-the-moment decision to stop in and see the movie. I find it more convenient just to wait until it shows up on television, usually HBO are some other premier channel that I have. However, it is a cheap afternoon for many seniors just to get out.

Great employees. With that classic vintage movie theater feel. All that nostalgia/warm feeling for under $5 a movie ticket. One of the best going to the movie experience. I have had in a long time and as a member of the cord cutter generation. My long review speaks volumes.............

Update 9/1/19. 13 days please fix the spelling! I thought it was clear in the picture. Great prices. Theatre has seen better days. And dictionaries/Google easy, cheap to use.

Even $3 ticket prices should have clean working urinals and air conditioning3 out of 5 urinals in the mens room dont work. And a few of them have been out of commission for well over a year. The theater I was in last night had several seats that were unusable and draped with the same plastic sheets that the urinals were covered in. Missing ceiling panels and not very clean. And the air conditioning didnt work very well, if at all. They could raise prices by $1 and invest in the building and someone to sweep up the popcorn between shows. Right now, this place is a dump and not worth the price of admission.

My mother in law loved it! She has no sense of smell. Cant beat the Price! Do not use the restrooms if possible.

We come here often; I wish they kept the offered items in stock. Its worth the price and an easy night/afternoon out with the kids. Also right down the plaza from the pet store, so we usually do both.

Ok, the cinema is very old and needs some help, but for a $2.50 matinee and $3.50 evening show with 8 choice movies, I am not complaining.

Nice atmosphere, a little short on staff. But the employees were great and helpful. Have a good time.

So my husband and I finally had a sitter. We drove the 40 minutes to this theater because it’s shows online they have 47 meters down. Welp after getting there we were informed they must not have updated the website and they do not have it showing. Worker not very sympathetic either. Call before you go!

I went there last night for the first time. I was a little trepidatious at first because in the past I havent had the best of luck finding second showing theaters. Upon arriving I felt an instant blast from the past. This is what theaters are supposed to be. The staff there was amazingly friendly and helpful. The decorations were fun. Could it have been a bit cleaner? Yes, but theaters are supposed to have popcorn on the floor and rambunctious children bouncing around from one arcade to the next. Go to Hollywood 11 if you want to see a movie. Go to Parkway 8 if you want to experience going to the theater. 10/10 I will be a repeat customer.

Nice family place to take everyone in the family. Served by Myra, nice greeting, smile, and service. My guest had aBig BLT, I had Turkey club; both big enough for next day lunch! Both priced under 27.00 bucks with sides. Go there!

Nice to still have a cheap movie theater to go to and enjoy an afternoon matinee. $3, so even if the movie isnt very good its no big deal, you dont feel like you should get your money back :)

Great price for second run movies. Slightly run down but well worth it. I will definitely keep coming back. They have a year long popcorn bucket you can buy for all you can eat each time you go. Concessions close at 8:15, so keep that in mind if you go to the late movies. Drink prices are normal theater pricing.

Great place to see movies at a discounted price. Staff is great, very friendly.

So dirty - Bathrooms were disgusting - Better to charge more and upgrade. Smell was terrible when we were leaving the theatre.

Older theater, as evidenced by the smell + condition of the building, seats, etc. The movie quality & sound were decent. Was a annoyed that I paid an extra $1/ticket when I bought my tickets online... to still have to go through checkout? Whats the point of buying tickets ahead, if not to save time? Its not like the theater is anywhere close to being at maximum capacity. Overall, for $4/ticket, it made for an fairly inexpensive night out with the family. But the online situation is why you guys earned 3 stars vs 4.

Great price for movies. Not very crowded. Bathrooms need work though

This is such a walk down memory lane when going to watch a movie here. It is nostalgic on so many levels. Popcorn is good and love the prices!!!!!!!! My only mild tiff is the bathrooms could definitely use some extra cleaning. The atmosphere is fun and it makes me feel like I have time traveled when I sneak off to see a movie by myself. I hope they never change or renovate anything because you cannot find character like that anywhere these days.

Sound sure is loud enough. Sit further back. Old fashioned movie seats. Cant be at the price. Nice concessions stand. Easy parking.

Movies just recently removed from showing in standard theaters may be seen here for a fraction of the price their tickets cost at standard theaters. A movie experience with recent films at a fraction of the cost.

This place going downhill fast. Its dirty, smelly, only 1 working urinal. The floors are littered with popcorn, wrappers and who knows what. The health department needs to inspect this facility. The theatre was hot. We wont be back, not worth it.

PLEASE update your website. i drove 40 minutes to see zombieland only to find out it’s not playing anymore. the website is still saying its showing!but the cheap prices match the experience

Its old. Its not the cleanest. Many things are broken. I checked to see if there was actually a fire extinguisher behind the curtain where the sign for one was (it was!). BUT, its just like going to movies when you were a kid. Sound was good, picture was good, snacks were the same as the expensive theatres, except the ticket prices are ridiculously low here.

Not a bad spot to catch a good movie before it gets away but, I cant help but notice that the theater seems to be in decline. None of the video games were on, the water feature in the lobby wasnt even running...no one collecting tickets and giving directions. Whats going on???

I love movies and like this place but gotta knock a star or two for that funky odor. Come on yall!! A little bleach and mop water will go a LONG way.

The movie Hustler was kind of weird not what I expected. The theater itself, 30 years ago was pretty okay for 99 cents now its two and a half or three and a half dollars and its a shame the place hasnt been cleaned or kept up at all

Theater was completely filthy. Popcorn, trash every were. Had 5 or 6 people at concession stand no one really waiting on customers. Popcorn was old. Too me even if it is a cheaper theater it can still be much cleaner than it was. I will not recommend this place even for the price.

Best prices. Always clean. Wonderful selection of movies. A favorite place of mine to relax and enjoy. Always plenty of parking.

Cheap movies, dirty theatre & restrooms. Missed the beginning of the movie because the screen wouldnt turn on and watched an associate argue with the customer and it and told him if he didnt like it he could get his money refunded.

I love this cinema, worth the money that you pay and it is clean. I dont like the quality of the popcorns butter

Movie was great! Premises were filthy!!! Sticky floors, seats, arm rests. Washrooms were horrible!

Very nice personnel, great price to see a movie! Not fancy but comfortable and cheap!!

The prices are fantastic, but the movie selection is old and the movies are probably available for renting. The theaters themselves are rather large, however there is not much elevation to the seating, if it is packed you might be obstructed by the person in front of you. That said the theater is usually not packed. Overall this is a good value.

Its old and beat, but where are you going to see fairly recent movies for $2 ($2.50 for the 7PM showings)? They keep the place pretty clean. No one can complain about anything for the price.

You get what you pay for. The price is right however the management doesn’t make sure that the restrooms and theater are kept clean. Wondering how much longer this theater will be here. The A/C hasn’t worked the last two times we’ve been here. Humid musty smell throughout. Not a pleasant experience.

The Price is right.. Outdated, hence the price. Very polite staff!!The consession prices great ..Only one complaint. Very warm inside the theatre

Just an old worn out movie theater for $3.00 evening ticket, which cant be beat. The Linda Ronstadt movie was fabulous!!

Cannot beat the prices $2.00 matinee and $2.50 after 7:00 PM. Movies are not first run, but not an issue if you dont mind a wait to see recently released films. The theaters are older. Most attendees seem to be retirees. Food and beverages are somewhat expensive for my taste. Otherwise, a great value.

Service was excellent the price for the representative was cheap

Far from luxurious, but the older-rin films are quite cheap.

Awesome experience at Parkway! Not many other places I can go to with the family for under $20!

I enjoy patronizing here. Very clean and recent movies at a most reasonable price.

Super cheap for matinees. Sound is not so great.

For cheap movies this is a great place. They could use some air freshener though...kind of stinky in there.

Been here several times. It’s a typical dollar theater. You get what you pay for. Hoping it was just an off day but the customer service today was horrible. The audio recording was not updated to reflect the showing had been cancelled. The employee was rude when I told them they should update their recording. It costs nothing to be nice. Have some respect in your profession, regardless of what you do.

Great popcorn great butter machine and the seats are decent just enjoy yourself and no rush to get to any seat theres always plenty of room

Very nice and clean, comfortable too...this is our go to theatre from now on...

Have been here many times - $2 during the day and $2.50 in the evening. They only take cash... great place to catch up with all the movies that cost much more elsewhere. Saw Bohemian Rhapsody, The Wife, Vice, etc. If you go in the afternoon there are usually plenty seats for good viewing.

Have gone to several movies here...great place!!!

Great place to see 2nd run movies. The theater hallway to the theaters was a little smelly, but now the theaters have a/c turned up a little higher, which is nice.

The price was good but the carpet smelled so vad

Cant beat the price, good picture, good sound, good popcorn,... the bathrooms need some work (cleanliness, out of order toilets, etc.)

Fun fun fun and you dont have to buy a bathtub of popcorn

Great for watching inexpensive movies with the family or just a date night

Cheap admission but high on everything else, clean. Would do it again....definitely!

The low price of tickets is truly great.

Best place to go if you missed a movie that was playing, or just don’t want to pay full price on movie tickets. Seats are pretty comfortable bit nothing fancy. Make sure to bring cash. The bummer is they don’t allow any outside drink, including coffee, even though they don’t sell coffee. Popcorn was ok

I was pleasantly pleased with the venue. The ticket prices are the lowest I’ve seen in years. The audio sound system is awesome and their snack stand and service was very good.

So good

Little dirty but movie was good

NICE CLEAN OLDER CINEMA. DEFINITELY CANT BEAT THE PRICE.

Awesome dollar movie theatre. Great for kids too.

Terrible experience. Stuck in seats next to rude chatty couple who kept flashing their phone. Had to leave and demand movie pass for another showing. Probably will give them to someone else.

I go there often. Like the price. But the hallways smell gross. I like that I can see first run movies that I missed.

Bad conditions in ladies room. It all is pretty much 2nd class.

Nice prices, the popcorn was pretty good. If you have a sensitive sense of smell be warned. But the screens and sound quality were good for the price of the tickets. Not really a whole lot of staffing but every time I have been in, there hasnt been many people in so there were never any ridiculous waits.

A bit old and run down, but quaint and charming. Love it! Plus who can beat the prices?

Love the great show prices....didnt love the fact that it is cash only. And you dont find out until you go to pay....if it was posted anywhere else, my bank is in the plaza and it wouldve saved me two ATM fees.

A practical of this place Ive been going here since the 90s prices are great always love this place

Tickets are $2 and $2.50 they have senior specials $4.75 for a popcorn and a drink. It was clean and a great inexpensive way to see a movie. Will definitely go again.

Need to turn the air conditioning on. Otherwise it was good...

Theater needs a good cleaning. Staff very friendly.

The price was great but they dont take cards as a form of payment for tickets

Great place to enjoy a movie. Love the price, and the staff is always prompt and friendly. Love the choices of seasonings for the popcorn and the movie choices are always diverse and change often. Will definitely return again and again

The movie prices are great. But the theater was disgustingly filthy. Trash was everywhere, and the floors looked like they havent been mopped in years. There was crud build up where the chairs bolt to the floor. The management and staff should be ashamed of themselves for allowing these filthy conditions to exhist. When I used to take my kids there years ago it wasnt like. I dont plan on returning anytime soon.

We love coming to this older theater. Prices are great, food is the same as anywhere.

Great low prices. Good quality movie and sound. Make sure you bring cash!

Great prices for first run films. For that, we are happy to bring cash and not have seats with headrest comfort. Sound system and picture quality is fine. Before five pm the price is only 2 dollars!

Dirty and $4 bottled water but good movies

Price is great and Movies are really good.

Small old time theater. Looks like it hasnt changed since the 80s which was actually a cool thing compared to all the new theaters nowadays. Movie tickets were super cheap I think like 3 to 5 dollars and snacks and refreshments were also cheap. They had all sorts of different movies not just big blockbusters. We got to see a small indie movie that we never otherwise would have gotten to see in theaters

I felt it needed a good cleaning,mens bathroom my husband said was disgusting and the ladies wasnt the greatest.The movie theaters floor had popcorn and cups everywhere.

Movies maybe a little old, but, still good prices

Great value for the movie tickets. An affordable, good opportunity to see a movie in a theater. The concessions were a different story. Seemed most people were like us about the small variety, and extremely inflated pricing, at their concession counter. More people saw the pricing, skipped confessions of any sort, and just went on to get seated.

Best place in sarasota. Cheap movies good times!

This place is old and tattered. Strong smell of bleach to mask the smell of mildew. Its desperately needs to be updated.

Great. Will definitely go again

Enjoyed the theater but the restrooms should be cleaner.

Pros: Very laid back. And cheap tickets.Cons: Very outdated. I feel like Im in a cinema from the 90s. Lobby carpets look like theyve been there for 20 something years.I guess you get what you pay for.

Good movies. Price for entrance and concession are reasonable.
