Studio Movie Grill 225 Merchants Row, Arlington, TX 76018

"I recently visited Studio Movie Grill Highlands and felt compelled to share my experience. Unfortunately, it was far from satisfactory. The house margaritas were a major letdown; they seemed to be filled with excessive simple syrup and lacked any discernible tequila. Additionally, the Crispy Chicken Tenders I ordered were disappointingly hard, almost like rocks, and to my dismay, I woke up this morning with severe stomach pain after consuming them. The only redeeming factor was the movie “Wonka,” which I enjoyed. However, this positive aspect couldn’t outweigh the overall disappointing experience with the food and drinks. Regrettably, based on my encounter, I cannot recommend this location. I hope this feedback contributes to improvements in the future."

"I went to this location and will not be returning. I saw a movie on Sunday afternoon and the theater was dirty. There was trash and food spilled in the seats. I don't think they cleaned up before the next showing with the condition it was in. I asked the waitress if my seat could be cleaned because it was sticky (possibly from a spilled drink), and she was mad. I wouldn't have minded cleaning it myself. I saw that other people were rude to her, so maybe she was having a bad day. But, from then on, it took another 30 minutes for her to come back and take my order. I didn't get my food until an hour or so into the movie and didn't get my drink until towards the end. I ordered the Roze Rita, and it looked like the bottle that was put into the drink had its wrapper ripped off, but it was still closed. Isn't it supposed to be open? (So while you drink it the cup feels up). The food tasted good, but overall I had a bad experience. I just wanted to enjoy a day out because I haven't been to the movies in a long time."

"Came here with my mother and her friends, during the day ($6.00 on Tuesdays), to see the Color Purple. The tickets were self pay and we were able to walk straight to the theater. The theater was pretty packed with people but we were able to find out seats quickly. The overall look of the theater is a little run down and you have to manually push the seat back for it to recline. The workers were efficient and fast with ordering, etc. I ordered a large popcorn ($8.50, no refills) and 2 drinks ($6 a piece) and our total came out to be approximately $23-25 due to the 18% they automatically add. The temperature in the theater was fine and we overall enjoyed the movie. I doubt I’ll come back to this location and only came here due to being invited. By the way, the movie was great!"

"Typical movie theater with super comfortable, reclining seats. The Long Island Iced Tea was not good! It tasted 100% like bottled lemon juice. This location sits in the back of the Highlands shopping area, with plenty of parking."

"Nice theater that you can enjoy a meal and a movie. First, unless it's a new release, don't buy tickets online. Purchase your ticket at the theater. Online, you will pay almost an extra $5 in service fees. Get there about 10 to 15 minutes early so you can look over menu and order before the movie starts. The food and snack prices are quite reasonable compared to most movie theaters. The soda, however, is ridiculously expensive. It's $6.00. Granted you can get free refills but soda is a very inexpensive cost for a business so they are making a ton of money off the price of soda. This coming from someone in the restaurant industry for 30+ years. Seats are comfortable. The screens are high so don't sit towards the front. Overall a good experience. Go to matinee if possible, it will save you money."
