Audience Reviews

"It was wonderful to visit your theater again in September and to meet with Tony Curtis…..it is fantastic that he is doing so well. It was a great event and my wife and I hope to attend more special screenings at your theater in the future as we are avid classic movie fans.  We first attended your theater last year at your Hitchcock screening and it was such an honor and pleasure to meet Tippi Hedren and Veronica Cartwright. Wish we lived closer though!!! But the trips have been more than worth it…the memories will last a lifetime!"

"I visited the new Muvico in Rosemont and Movie Tavern in Houston and they are NOT as nice as Hollywood. Your food is better, the seats are better and there is better flow. Your staff is always great."

I just wanted to say that it is like pulling teeth to get my
husband to go to a show and after coming to your theatre last week he wants
to go back this week. It is very comfortable and nice to be waited on
and we really had a great time!

The movie and the food were awesome. My waiter was super cool and super nice.  Your theater is a little far for me to drive to see every movie there, but I am willing to drive the 45 min because the atmosphere is so wonderful. I will continue to go to this theater as much as I can.

I just wanted to say what a wonderful experience my family and I had at the Dantes Inferno Game Launch Party.  I just recently moved here from California and a coworker of mine got me hooked on your cinema, the servers are always very friendly and efficient, not to mention the food is good.  We look forward to many more events with your cinema.  Thank you so much and keep up the good work!!

"Hi, I was informed that the owners of Hollywood would read this letter and I wanted to inform the owners that I love your theater. I adore the concept of comfortable furniture, a wider variety of food, FRIENDLY employees, and a clean theater. I also love the concept of free previews to the general public. What better way to enjoy an upcoming movie with my sweetie and having a wonderful and tasty meal to accompany us! "

"Just a note of thanks for making my
daughters wedding shower The Best!
All of my friends and family really enjoyed
themselves. You made a nervous mom
really at ease. I will as well as my family, tell
everyone about the best food, service and
clean place you have."
P.S. Tell your staff they were great too!"

"WOW! This theater is amazing. First, I have to comment on
cleanliness. You would think a theater with so much food would be a
mess, but it was spotless. The waiters were more fun than most restaurant
personnel, and helped us make our decisions. The best thing about them was
that we didn't feel rushed. Even though it must have been chaos taking
orders, they were great about it (and they never blocked the view)! The
food was reasonably priced...and pretty good. I liked it so much, I
called my family to see the same movie in the following showing. We are
going back with friends next week, hoping they enjoy it as much as we did."

"Hollywood and its entire staff holds a special place in our hearts. There is no other movie-going experience that can rival it! It's great to have a place where a true cinemaphile can enjoy movies close to home and in such high style."

"I love you guys! Great food and great movies!"

 I just wanted to take a minute to say thank you to the folks!

Last Saturday, January 9, my wife and I took another couple to Hollywood to see "It's Complicated".  We thoroughly enjoyed the film. LMAO funny!! But that's not the reason for this e mail.

We came there for our 5 or 6th time and enjoyed our meal with a few beers as we laughed at Alec Baldwin, Steve Martin and the incomparable Meryl Streep. Our server was great and the food was perfect. On our way out of the show someone who appeared to be a manager was asking how the show was etc which we all agreed was a nice touch. We walked down the boulevard and took a look at the museum - you've got some cool stuff in there!  On our way back out I saw the woman who originally spoke to us on the way out and I asked her how many theaters there were. Instead of the curt blow off answer I expected she took the time to tell me that there were nine theaters, that you were expanding and were probably going to take over the whole strip mall. The other thing that impressed me was that she continued to walk with us as she was telling me about the improvements, thereby not impeding me as we were exiting. I told her and I want to tell the rest of you that your theaters are a great value for the price and we totally enjoyed our experience.

Finally to wrap up, we have made 5 or 6 trips on various nights and each time the staff was friendly, courteous and efficient, the drinks were tasty, food delicious (reasonably priced I might add) and the place was very clean especially for being so busy. It's great when the staff from managers down to servers and ticket takers are friendly, helpful and efficient!

Thanks a bunch and I'll be back to make use of my 30 day 2 for 1 coupon!

Sincerely,

Ralph

 

"In 2002 I got my husband to see the movie version of "Chicago" at Hollywood... He hates musicals, but I figured if he could get some REAL food and an adult beverage; I could get to see the movie! And boy did we get hooked! Ever since then, we always choose Hollywood Blvd. Movie prices are the same as all the other theaters, but the experience and service at Hollywood Blvd make it an outstanding value for a night out. This theater, not only shows movies, but lives the movies. The events are great and the dedication to the film industry amazing. Thanks spearheading getting the Munchkins a star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame. After all, "there is no place like home". Thanks for bringing this to our town."

My family and I regularly attend movies at Hollywood.  We have been there 16 times this year alone.  I love this place and just wanted to let you know what an awesome job your staff does at handling all the customers that you receive on a daily basis.  We never go to other theaters!!!

For a group of 100 people, the food, drinkls and everything else went smoother than any other venues we have tried."

"Hollywood is the best movie theater I've ever been to. I loved seeing X Men 3 at your theater. It's a fun place for me and my father to go to. I love the buffalo wings, the hamburgers, and the crab rangoon. I love all the old stuff you added to your theater, like the James Bond pictures, the Indiana Jones picture, the Godfather picture, and the statues. Your workers are very polite. It's cool that the hallway wall has black and white pictures. It's cool to make the hall a street. I hope to keep going to your movie theater as long as I can."

"My family and I visited your theater this weekend and saw Star Wars. We all had a great time and it was especially nice for the kids; Darth Vader was in the lobby to greet us on the way in and a few Storm Troopers and Boba Fett were in the theater lobby on the way out. The kids had a chance to say hello and have pictures taken. Everyone did enjoy the movie as well and the theater is nice too. I have always liked the concept of dinner (not just popcorn and candy) at the movies. The Hollywood Blvd. is much more comfortable, cleaner, has a better choice of food and is less noisy."

"My wife and I love your place! A great way to see a film. Best Wishes..."

"Since we've been going to Hollywood, we can't go anywhere else to see a movie. We love it. Love the new menu, too. Keep up the good work!!! It's really hard to see a movie anywhere else."
Lizabeth G. Elkin

"Food is always excellent; recent menu changes make it even better. Good deal for the money."

"Great place to watch a movie and dine, especially, when you are limited by time. Recommended this place to at least 20 people. Enjoy the fact that its 18 and over."

"Last night my wife and I saw Shrek at Hollywood. We had a great time as usual. Over the past year we have been going to Hollywood we have noticed a significant improvement in the movie going experience. Our server last night Ray C did an excellent job. We have not been back to a regular theater since we first went to Hollywood. Keep up the good work!"
Dan R

"I had such a great time! I never had an experience like that. Talk about having dinner and a movie! The food was great and the service was excellent! I will definitely come back every time I want to see a movie. Great idea!!!!"
Jeff

"Just wanted to let you know how much we enjoy your theater. Your concept saves driving time by not having to look for a place for dinner and then driving to the movies. Your staff is very good at staying out of the way of the screen while the movie is playing. We will continue to keep your theater a weekly event. Thanks for the good time."
The Pizano's

"We had a great time! The service was excellent, everyone was very nice and professional and the theater is beautiful! The food prices were very reasonable (the Bubba Gump shrimp is EXCELLENT for a finger food). This will be my first choice of theaters if the movie I want is playing there."
Anthony

"To whom it may concern,
I am no longer living in the Illinois area and can no longer take advantage of your (Great!!!) theater facility. I am Sad!" :-( "
Janice

"I was talking to someone who was at your theater last night and reported that the place was packed and that she had the best hamburger she had ever had. She really enjoyed the experience and can't wait to return."
Pat

"Best popcorn I have ever had. It's awesome how you can sit and watch a movie and they'll serve you right to your seat!! Great service and good idea."
Lori

"Finally a theater where you can enjoy a nice drink, great appetizers and first run movies. Hollywood is now my first choice for movie going."
Shirley

"We had a nice time! Atmosphere great. The bartenders give big portions of appetizers and tasteful drinks. Great ambiance. Will definitely go back!!"
