  This used to be my favorite movie theater in Austin, but I won’t be returning after my most recent visit :( Staff - We came in early and were the only people in the theater for maybe 10 min. As other parties arrived, someone would come to take their order. After a while, everyone around us had their order taken and food delivered. I eventually pressed the attendant button but no one came to our seats until 15 min into the movie. I completely understand the possibility of being short-staffed and having to wait but this didn’t seem like the case considering everyone who arrived after us had been served. Noise - This has happened nearly every time I have been to iPic - there will be full conversations happening well into the movie. Most times, some people are talking almost full volume nearly 10 minutes after the movie has started. Cleanliness - I feel like this has gotten progressively worse. Over time, I’ve noticed that the chairs have trash and crumbs, the tables are sticky, and there’s trash in the cup holder as well. I really loved the concept of this theater but with the price point of iPic, I think these are pretty big issues :(

  Projector was out of focus (theater 3 - became obvious during the credits), ticket was more expensive than anywhere else in Austin, and the real price on MoviePass was 30% more than advertised, which I found out only once I got there. Seats were fine, sound was fine, but in Austin you can do so much better for a cheaper ticket

  Very disappointing experience. We don’t have an iPic in San Antonio, so we were excited to visit one while in town with family for Valentine’s Day. This used to be a place we loved when we lived here, so the experience was pretty shocking. To start, the chairs were disgusting. There was dried ranch or cheese on the armrest and seat, and the cup holder still had trash and something wet inside that splashed out when it was opened. I understand it’s a fast-paced environment and things happen, but unfortunately that was only the beginning. We were brought the wrong beverages multiple times, received only one set of silverware for both the appetizer and entrée even though there were two of us, and the condiments we asked for never arrived. We also asked three separate times for water, and it didn’t come until the last 10 minutes of the movie—when it was dropped down rather rudely. Overall, the experience was disappointing and unsanitary. It felt like iPic has lost the touch of class and luxury that once made it a fun place to treat yourself. You’re honestly better off going somewhere more affordable that delivers better service. Alamo Drafthouse will be my go-to from now on.

  I usually go to Alamo and Moviehouse and eatery which both also have dine in service at your table and reclining seats. I decided to try this place because i heard it was even more elevated. I was disappointed. The food was expensive and so bad! I didn’t even eat the fillet minion sliders, I took a few bites of one and could t force my self to finish. Meat was chewy and had a rancid taste. The fries were stale too. My husband got a pizza and it tasted like the pizza you buy in the frozen sec and pop in your oven. The seats here and very uncomfortable, I thing they are jus old and worn. I heard they provide blankets so I don’t bring one, it was colder than a theater usually is, and the blankets were so thin that I wish I would have just brought my own. The small divider between booths for privacy is cool, but but I prefer to just go to one of the others I mentioned above w no divder, but good food and comfy seats

  We recently visited IPIC Theaters and had such a great experience. The movie was super comfortable overall, but what really surprised us was the food. I didn’t expect theater dining to be this tasty! The shrimp had a nice spicy kick, the chicken was tender and flavorful, and the tuna salad was absolutely delicious. We also tried a berry dessert that was the perfect sweet finish. Between the comfy seating and surprisingly great food, it made for a really enjoyable night out. For those saying the tix are expensive - well yeah I mean you don't have any neighbors next to you it's comfy and reclining plus you get to order food. So it's a fair price I'd say.
