We came here today (8-30-20) not knowing they had JUST opened back up on Friday. We were greeted by the manager, served excellent food (truly and honestly, excellent), felt very safe and secure and clean. We were honored to be some of your first guests upon reopening weekend for you. The customer service was ON POINT. We will return for our next weekend getaway to Williamsburg

When staying in Williamsburg this place is a must. Staff is very friendly and and knowledgeable. This is a movie order system, so while your watching your movie you can order from there menu and they will serve it to you. It is very open and I would completely recommend it!

Eh. The seats are comfortable but there are a few things this place needs to fix.1) Temperature control. It’s always way too warm inside. I’ve never seen so many people sleep through movies, the warm temps put them to sleep. Despite sitting through each movie, I leave sweating every time.2) Consistency with food quality. Sometimes the food is delicious, sometimes it’s disgusting. It’s really hit or miss. A friend just got food poisoning.3) The overhead lights are too bright. I’ve tried to avoid sitting directly under the lights but it’s virtually impossible because there are so many. It’s hard to enjoy the movies when you’re straining to see because the light from above is so bright.None of these are huge deals- but together it’s enough that I usually go somewhere else if I can.

Best place EVER, good beer and snacks and the attendants is always friendly too. Great atmosphere. Recommend!!!

I don’t often leave reviews, as I work in the service industry, but I do have to say I was not impressed with this theater! I was promptly greeted when buying my ticket, which was off to a nice start. Being early in the day there weren’t very many workers her, which I understand. I was early to the movie about 20 minutes. I wasn’t expecting an attendant to come right way, but you would think they would have stopped by at some point before the movie started. I finally went up to the bar and asked what was going on and the bartender, even though nice, informed me that they had one attendant on. Really? By the time I got back to the theater she was there, so yes I just missed her, but at this point it was one minute before start of movie. Cutting it close. She was nice, but short and quick. Probably because she was the only one working. I ordered popcorn and a drink, it was promptly delivered, so that was a plus. Then the move didn’t start on time. The movie theaters concept is not new, but when executed right can be awesome. I go to a similar concept back home and it’s my preferred venue for many reasons. Maybe it was an off day I recognize that, so for that I’ll won’t be to low on the rankings.Update: Got my bill and I knew something wasn’t right. I asked for an itemized receipt and she charged me three times for butter at $1.50 each. I think it’s strange they charge for butter, but I saw it on the menu and cool, I’ll pay for it. So even if I said extra butter I could understand one charge and one additional charge for extra but to charge three times, not say anything about the exuberant cost, process my card and not provide an itemized receipt. That’s just plain theft. She did remove two of the charges, which for that I will say thank you, I was only expecting one to be removed. I’ve changed my rating to one star. I just feel I will not be back anytime soon.

Great movie theater. Clean and very spacious! Wait staff was fantastic. Friendly and knowledgeable! Food was good... A little pricey and it took ALONG time to get our food and drinks. Overall good experience!

It was nice experience, if Im in the area Id attend again

My wife and I had a good experience, however, the volume of the movie was incredibly low and hard to hear. They need to fix that.

Wait staff Jody was GREAT! Food was good. Venue is cool and sounds and looks great! It was dirty when we arrived at our seats but Jody quickly cleared things and we sat comfortably. The seats didnt recline is the only downside.

Simply put, this theater is a different experience. The staff were all very nice and kudos to the gentlemen talking the Capitals up with me.There is a full bar and even more, a full dinner menu. Unfortunately I had just eaten. So for me, the experience I was looking for was a comfortable chair and a good movie. This was definitely accomplished although I prefer theaters with recliners. Due to the physical limitations this would impose upon the servers bringing food directly to your chair during the movie, I can see why its not available.Thats right. Servers bring you your order directly to your chair. They even TAKE your order from your chair.So yes. A different experience. A welcomed experience.

Its a nice theater. Definitely worth a visit if youre in the area. Good food too! You can order right from your seat. Only thing I wish it had would be recliners. Other than that, no complaints.

Ive never had a full service movie experience and this was a great time. The ability to order snacks and drinks (even alcohol) from your seat is such a great touch. The staff was very friendly and we enjoyed the movie.

This place is great. Wife and I went here for her birthday movie. She is visually impaired. The headphones with descriptive videos were not working properly, we spoke with management, he tried to fix it but was unsuccessful. The time he put into trying to fix the earphones is appreciated. There was not a lot of people in the tavern so I was able to try and whisper softly to my wife what was going on in the movie. We went to this particular place because of the advertisement for the descriptive video services. Although we could not use that particular service we had a good time. I was a little tired after the event of all the talking I had to do but overall we had a great time. 4 stars because of the problem with the headphones. We did get free tickets to an upcoming movie from the manager, so that was a plus.

We are kinda new to the area and my family and I went on a Tuesday,which is $5 and because we signed up for their VIP program we get free popcorn everytime we go. The food was great,the service was even better!! I would recommend ANYONE who visits Williamsburg to stop by for great food, wonderful customer service and an awesome movie.

Great movie, great food, nicely loaded adult beverages. Had a great time. I was a little concerned about some of the recent food reviews, but the steak and shrimp were amazingly awesome. The drinks were very yummy and well taken care of for their price. The Vietnamese bowl was also good. The food prices are a bit high for the amount that you get. The servers were very conscious about serving and removing dishes during the movie. They were barely noticeable. We had an enjoyable time. The seats were comfy too. They are leather and lean back a little. No foot rest, but understandable for serving.

How cool! Press the button, chair side snack service! Not as intrusive as you might think.Best theatre seats!! Well managed, 5 dollah Tuesdays. Very good concept well done.

The Movie Tavern is an amazing place! The staff are always smiling and extremely helpful. The prices are to shabby but definitely worth it. The food is here awesome, the beer is nice and cold and the drinks keep you refreshed. Definitely a must try experience if you have never ate while watching a movie at a theater.

Great place, nice seating. Servers come to your seats and take your orders and bring you what you need. Bathrooms are from what I could see are single and clean. Staff is super nice and helpful. Maybe more training on mixed drinks. Overall Great theater. Would recommend for anyone. Seating is comfy and not a hard computer chair.

My husband and I enjoyed Movie Tavern the firstbtimebthat we came back for our 22nd Anniversary. The staff were eager to inform us of their favorite menu items and everyone was polite and eager to provide great customer service. We enjoyed the menu items we had, some of which were the favorites of the staff. All was great. We enjoy the coziness of the smaller theaters that are at Movie Tavern. Well Done.

If you are going to see a Blockbuster, dont order food/drinks. You may get them before the movie is over, you may not. I had to go hunt down my receipt after the money was over.Loved the concept of being able to eat/drink/relax while watching a movie, BUT with most businesses nowadays, they dont properly staff!!!

The food was good, the service was good and.. those fries were BOMB My girlfriend said when I asked how she liked it. The service was truly perfect and the food was surprisingly outstanding. The chairs were comfortable and laid back a fair amount. Movie quality was good and the speakers were great.

It was to order your food and they bring to you. I have never been to a theater that did that. The theater was clean and staff friendly. Great place. Will come back.

We saw The Adams Family and loved it ♡ havent seen a late show in forever, might have fallen asleep a little lol but totally enjoyed it! $5 Tuesday and $1 popcorn refills, do it

Theaters are stadium with swivel style desk tables over them for eating. The seats are pretty comfy but want to recline the whole time, which doesnt offer much support when youre eating. Prices are a bit steep for the food, as one might expect in a movie theater. Although the food is pretty good. Service is average. Weve been going since they opened and will keep going. Its nice to be able to feed the kids while theyre being entertained.

The facility is nice, staff friendly...but the prices are too high for my family. I would definitely recommend the Regal first. Extra $1.50 for butter (dont care if its real) is not worth it. The wait on drinks was too long as well.

This is my favorite movie Theater in the Peninsula! The nice ladies at the ticket window are extremely helpful and pleasant to everyone! The prices are the most affordable. The food is really good for a movie theater. The have Vegatarian options. The customer service is always on point even when they are busy. The theater is always clean. They have specials on Tuesdays $5 movies and $3 popcorn. Also on Thursdays there us a student special. They offer Military discounts.

Such a cool movies theater! Come early to spend time at the bar. The tickets were less than most other places, but the concretions are priced a bit higher, and drinks/food were ridiculously high, but youre getting the experience and you dont have to buy anything. You can order right before the movie and have stuff delivered during previews so you dont miss anything. The chairs were comfy, and tilt back a little, but dont full recline. They had a large staff that was nice and seemed to all be friends, much different atmosphere than the larger chain theaters. Give it a try!

Great movie theater. Comfortable with good seating. They have good food and drinks, only downfall is a little pricy,but overall very good place $

As locals for over 35 years this is our go to place to watch the latest movie releases. Comfortable chairs with a great sound system.

I loved going to this movie theater. My sons and I truly enjoyed going here. So much so that Id spend almost 200 dollars every visit. Unfortunately, I wont be returning. I had bought 4 movie tickets to watch a movie. Didnt see it due to a family emergency. I called to see if I could get an exchange, or raincheck tickets. Was told I couldnt. Which is so dissapointing. From now Ill be taking my business to Newport News.

We were allowed into the theater 20 minutes before the movie time. We sat down and and figured out what we wanted. Just me and my 9 year old. Within 5 minutes we pressed the button for service. We were the only ones in the theater. We waited. ..and waited. Others came in. Others began having their orders taken. While we waited... we turned our buttons off and turned them on again. Finally 5 minutes into the movie someone came and took our orders. An hour later, my food and appetizers arrived. My teriyaki steak meal was ICE COLD. It took me 15 minutes to let someone know. 5 minutes before the end of the movie I received my replacement burger and my sons popcorn.... I was eating when the credits rolled up.We had looked forward to this so much that it was one of the events we placed on our winter vacation itinerary very disappointed..our last experience here was amazing. .

It was a great experience. Food is moderately priced. There is an extra food tax that may he standard for this area. Drinks are expensive but thats to be expected for a movie theater. My son loved it. I recommend arriving earlier than 30 minutes if possible for ordering food and eating before movie starts.

Great seating and good food..friendly service

What an amazing establishment! Professionalism of the staff, their attention to details from purchasing your tickets to ordering food. The food was absolutely delicious! The drinks superb! Excellent movie theater! Some of the bigger theaters should take a cue from Movie Tavern! Dinner and a movie done right! Highly recommend

Dont come in here looking for a quick or reasonably priced meal. Didnt get my meal until half way through the movie. Cleanliness of dubious quality. Didnt even get my glass of water. I asked to talk to o the manager. Never got to talk to them either. Not going back either.

Everything! The Staff is Amazing ... Drink Selections are Very Impressive... Menu is creative and verrrry appealing, and delicious. Great Atmosphere and very reasonable pricing.

One of the best theatres in the area! They have a great bar, food is good and they are in a nice location which is accessible near I-64.

My wife and I went so see bad boys last night . The movie was great, but the the food and service was at its worst.we come about once a month and I have noticed that the service has been getting worse. We love the idea. Of dinner and a movie .the food was slow getting to us which would be ok if was good .so the food was slow, cold, and not worth the money,even the popcorn was even cold and no butter.so it was close to a total fail.

Nice relaxing environment. They forgot part of my order but the staff was super nice.

Seating is different. Lounge chairs. Nice arm rests. Pretty comfortable for couple of hours. No hostess on duty so took our menus and theres a button you push for service. Fair service and slow and had to get our own napkins. Had to wait for my box of over priced milk duds. Anyway if you want to eat real food and have drinks like beer then youll probably like it a lot. Picking your own seats in advance before entering theater is weird too. Guess thats to let the servers know where you are? Not sure. Guess you could move once movie starts if you didnt like your seats.

Nice theater. Food prices and quality are on par for similar styled theaters (IE: Cinema Cafe, CinéBistro and others). Staff and overall service was very good.

The food prices are a little high, but it is good food. I love the seating !

First time Ive been here and it was very nice. Very comfortable seats, nice atmosphere, good experience.

Excellent venue. Food was above average for what I expected. Servers werent really in and out too much so our movie was rarely interrupted and for my wife and I we were able to get dinner and a movie for less than we expected!Great value and experience!

It is nice to go to a movie place that - delivers your hot meals or beverages. Comfy chairs and very nice staff

This place was the worst part of my family’s vacation this weekend. I can’t express enough how horrible the experience was. We ordered food and drinks before the movie even started. My nachos were cold and disgusting. Whatever “beef” they used tasted like it came from a can and they didn’t even bother to heat it. About halfway through the movie I had to go out and find my server just to get drinks for my family. When I saw her, she seemed annoyed that I was even concerned about my drinks. But I mean with the horrible after taste of the “beef” tacos, you’d definitely need something to drink as well. Server had a nasty attitude when I asked for drinks halfway through. Movie theatre was full of screaming kids and people who talked through the entire movie. Bad service to top it all off. I’d never return.

Theater itself was clean. Family bathroom was horrible. Poorly laid out. Had to carry my spouse from her wheelchair to the commode. Doesnt look like it is policed much either as same toilet paper was on the floor 3 hours later. Food is overpriced and mediocre at best. Had to remind wait staff that I hadnt gotten my drink after an hour. We sat in the handicap section. Easy to get into. Chairs were not comfortable. They should be able to recline. Lighting and sound were excellent.

Went on Tuesday, when the movies are only $5.00 and you get a free popcorn. Staff and servers courteous and popcorn good. Enjoyed movie on a large screen. Have been several times. Nice.

The food and drinks are delicious! This is a unique experience and perfect for date night

Great place to watch a movie. Helpful staff, good image and sound quality, comfortable seat, good food and drink.

One cup of soda is $5.00 and it didnt taste what was order and for the number of ten frieds and the side of chicken tenders with cheese sticks which was $18. 00 and you had to pay for it first befor your order was put in. Cinema Cafe is hand down better in this field.

So the old lady with oxygen at the front whos name tag indicates she is a Certified Trainer is the reason this a 2 star review instead of 5. She was extremely rude, stated I dont have time for this when asked to provide me a movie membership card, blew out of her mouth with an attitude because she said she couldnt read my penmanship, answered the phone while I was writing and told the person on the phone, Im real busy right now and have a line but when I turned around, there was no one behind me. Just when you thought her shenanigans were over, she gestured to hand me the movie card, I reached out to grab it, she then intentionally laid the card on the counter and slid the card to me, like I was a dog,-with my hand still dangling in the air. That woman should not represent such a great place to watch a movie! Marcus theaters should refrain from hiring people who trains staff to act with such distasteful attitudes! Once these spoiled apples have been identified, they should be tossed out! We watched a movie but my mind was still stuck on how rude the “Certified Trainer” was, that I didnt enjoy my experience.Theater Review:Now that I got that out, the theater was very nice!The sound was unmatched, crisp and loud! Just what you want in a theater experience. The picture was bright and clear as well. The staff in the theater were kind and brought popcorn and beverage as requested. One thing that needs attention are the restrooms, they were not cleaned appropriately. Like I said this would be a five star review but I cant get past the rudeness from the start, other than those points youll have a great time.

Overpriced! I ordered nachos ( supposedly a starter) and my daughter their tavern starter combo and each of us a drink our bill was almost $50! Love the atmosphere but not leaving there with 2 people for much less than $75 including movie tickets.

Great staff. Love have a full menu to order from

Service can be slow at times, but I like this theatre because of the prices. My girlfriend and I prefer this one over the other ones near me because we can something healthier than popcorn if wed like.The best day to go is Tuesday because its cheaper and you get a free small popcorn, but the popcorn took forever to come out last time we went. However, its a theatre so I understand why service can be slower.Overall would recommend but not 5 stars!

Throughly clean, wonderful service

Breakfast burrito was pretty good. Hot cup of coffee wasnt bad. Price also not bad

Just saw The Rise of Skywalker. The preview for Top Gun 2 froze for several minutes right in the middle. The most anticipated movie of the year froze just after the crawl and twice more. One of the speakers in the theater was blown. The popcorn was stale. My wife says the womens room was in terrible condition. At least the employees were nice. We will be seeing movies in New Town in the future.

Of all the movie theaters in Williamsburg, this is the best. Great seating, endless fresh popcorn refills. This is the way to see a movie.

Would recieved 5 stars if they had LandShark beer.

We have been patrons of the Movie Tavern a few times and the last two times have not impressed. Both times our order was delayed and today, I had to go and check on our order (popcorn and soda drinks) for two only to find they had forgotten us!!! Folks that ordered after us received their orders before we did. Normally we don’t mind and aren’t sticklers fir that type. But they brought the wrong size popcorn and when they did correct that it was cold!Also - The place was dirty and needed cleaning. Unsat!We are done with this place - we won’t be back

It was a marvelous experience. Food was excellent and the service was great

Wow......is all i can say ....just go enjoy urself its great

First time going to this theatre. Movie prices were cheap.Really enjoyed the setting. First time ordering food and drinks while watching a movie loved the experience looking forward to going back when im in the area again.

To the manager. You should rethink your career choice. You should be fired. We sat in the theatre for 2 hours without getting our order. I saw another guest having a very heated conversation with you in the lobby and all you said was “we are very busy”. That is unacceptable. You are suppose to be in charge and have proven you are not up to the task. Having guests wait 2+ hours for food is ridiculous.

A good example of the dinner-and-a-movie place. The food was pretty good. The facility was clean. The staff could have been a little more attentive. The seats also didnt recline, like many do. Either of those things would have bumped me to 5 stars. Would visit again if Im in town.

Decent food and drink. Great service.

Nice establishment. Food is pricey, but we didnt eat a meal. They have $5 tickets on Tuesday, so thats when we went. Staff was nice and helpful.

Great place. Not recliner seats but reserved seating as well as dinning service at your chair. Ill go back.

Used to be great. This was are third time in a row the service was horrible!! Waited 38 min for a beer. Our food was mush I wouldn’t feed to my dogs and both me and my husband got very very sick before the movie was even over. There was already vomit in the women’s bathroom they had not cleaned up and half the toilets were clogged. I’ve nevwr been more disgusted in my life. And our server just never brought our checks. We had to ask the lady at the stand up front to please find out why our checks never came along with 10 other people!

Great as always good service cold beer.

My grandson and I arrived at 2:45 for a 3:20 showing of Spies Like Us on Dec. 29, 2019. We pushed the button for food service and did not have a server come take our order for 50 minutes. It took another 20 minutes for the food to arrive. The server was apologetic and explained there was an issue but said we cannot go order food for ourselves. We have to place the order in the theatre. She also explained that she wasn’t our server and would have to get orders from all her aisles before she could come back to us. We did eventually get our food halfway through the movie. The movie was good, the server was polite but the service was HORRENDOUS.

I love Movie tavern cuz they have that Tuesday deal. Its awesome. Its a family thing now.Thank you Marcus theaters!!

Kind of nice the movie and dinner idea. The dinner I got was 90% salt but my husband liked his burger. I wont waste my money here again.

We love coming here with the kids or even just the wife and myself. The chairs are very comfortable and the food is outstanding as well. Being a vegan family, the menu is great for us. Theres something there that we all like. The mushroom burger and hummus are both amazing options.

They tell you to turn off your phone so you won’t disturb others yet the staff kept walking in front of my view throughout the movie delivering food and talking while they delivered. Good movie but not a pleasant movie experience.

Movie was great, food was as to be expected (popcorn and soda) wait staff service however was horrendous. Theater was about half full, button was pushed for 30 minutes, no service, left to the bar to order drinks. Hour later pushed button for refill, wait staff came 20 minutes later. Very poor service. We saw them servicing the entire rest of the theatre but never once came near our row or to two approximate to us.

Very much enjoyed my experience! The staff was very friendly, the food and drinks were excellent and I enjoyed the comfort of the theater! Will have to visit again in the near future!

Very nice experience! You can order your food and drinks from your seat. The staff were nice and quick.

Easily my favorite place in Williamsburg. Great place to see the newest movies, and the food is really good. Id particularly recommend the nachos.The one and only problem is that the theater does dont have lightlocks, so sometimes the screen in the largest theater can be washed out momentarily when people come in and out during daytime showings.

My favorite movie theater. Drinks are expensive. Pleasant staff. Great atmosphere!

Fun, but a little dirty (sticky tables, crumbs around). Service was nice and helpful, and I cant be mad at a movie theater that lets you order beer straight to your seat.

Being able to have a real meal and watch a movie.

My first time in a movie theater in 30 years. What fun!!

Great experience! There were problems with the projector in our movie, we were moved to the next movie time and given free drinks and an appetizer while we waited. The assistant manager Ms Brittany Kirby did an excellent job of making everything right. I will definitely be back!!!

This particular Movie Tavern I believe has some management issues of how to properly disperse the right number of servers in each of the playing theaters. Service always seems to be a challenge, for example, on during a 80% filled showing of Frozen II there was not a single server taking orders. To make matters more frustrating food is slow to come out (sometimes if at all) and response time for a customer request for a refill on a drink is unsatisfactory. The quality of the food is hit and miss. I think there is a lot of potential given the area and the theme of the cinema, but I think maybe someone from Marcus Theaters needs to come and visit the Williamsburg location and conduct a quality assurance/quality control inspection. Maybe a corporate secret shopper or someone to properly assess performance of this location. I would recommend Regal Theaters in New Town or a location outside Williamsburg. Multiple occasions of poor performance of achieving customer satisfaction is a trend here and I can see the frustrations of other guests as well. I would be happy to provide other issues from multiple visits, yet then again maybe I have given this location too many chances to prove its ability to deliver on its goal of providing a quality movie experience.

I in joy going to movie taverin for it is my day off. A place where I can relax and have a good time as well people are friendly and the staff is to.

The food is pretty good yet expensive depending on your budget, especially the alcoholic beverages. The seating is great though, love the dinner and a movie style of this place. I plan on making many more trips to this location.

Omg my new go to spot for a movie and dinner. We tried the quesadillas, mac nCheese and pepperoni pizza. All was served fresh and tasty. Service was very friendly and quick. Enjoyed myself immensely as did the twins. Only bad thing is they were out of the ingredients for the advertised Jumanji juice and the blue slushy was not frozen so we had to get cherry. Will definitely go there again in the future.

Decor, seat comfort, food selection, and the quality of the food was great, but a little pricey for what you get. The sound system was quite subpar and disappointing. It may be better if you are perfectly seated in the middle, but we were pretty close and the timing of the speakers, and the volume levels were off. When you first get there, the waiters are all over...but good luck getting a soda or popcorn refill before the end of the movie, as all the staff are most likely in another room. Yes, the popcorn was good.

It has gone downhill since my last visit. They didnt have the theater ready until 1:50 for a 2:00 showing. Tried to order food about halfway through the movie. It took at least 20 minutes for someone to come take the order and the food didnt come until the credits were rolling. The stadium seating in the theater I was in was anything but that. It was an old regular theater with fancy seats. I at 510 had trouble seeing over the people in front of me. The menu has changed and isnt nearly as good as before Marcus took over.

Please tell your food runners to check if people have silverware, napkins, or need anything when they literally drop food.I had a food runner sprint to me and push my nachos into my arms. I didn’t have silverware and my guests didn’t have napkins.You guys say you want us to have a great experience — the two old men in the previews — and yet I can’t even get a napkin.Hire decent people and train them — get rid of the lazy people who just do exactly what they are told.The chairs and atmosphere is nice. Too bad the service is unprofessional and sometimes just rude.

Really hot in theater. Told employees and they said it was because there were too many people in the theater.... Oddly the air seemed to start working just fine with 20 minutes left of the 3 hour movie. Hard to enjoy anything in a sweat box

Really good experience every time I go! They bring the food out to you and you get access to a server at any point in your movie. A little bit pricey but definitely worth it.

Food was cold but other than that it was great

Nice place to see a movie and can eat there too.

Brunch and big screen movies with mimosas and one of the best bloody Marys Ive ever had?!?! Ill be back!

Saw the new Star Wars movie. They had people in costumes portraying the main characters in the movie. We got a picture with them. It was fun.

Great service and greet food. I would recommend this place to all my friends and Family.

The staff was rude and disrespectful to me and several members of my party. I felt uncomfortable and disrespected. As a conjoined twin sufferer, it is considered a blessing and a curse. At this movie theatre, they harmed my feelings and caused me great sadness. also, the food was gross and made me severely nauseous. The ketchup had a stinky smell to it, and the milkshake was thick and chunky. I am boycotting this place until I die!
