Not so good experience for my wife and I at Star Cinema in South Barrington. First of all I paid for VIP tickets which include blanket, and complimentary popcorn. Well we got there and had to buz for service. Waitress came to take our order. 1st of all they had no strawberry lemonade nor regular lemonade available, had no choice but to just order water. We ordered our main entree and appetizer. Waitress left, did not ask if we wanted popcorn. We had to ask another employee if popcorn is no longer complimentary, worker said yes and we asked her to please bring us our popcorn. Well they ended up bringing all our food out at once. So entrée, appetizer, popcorn was brought all at once. The whole point of ordering popcorn and appetizer is to snack on before the main entree. Another big issue is that the food was nasty. I ordered nachos and paid extra for skirt steak to be added. They threw a few pieces of meat, nachos were salty and just not worth for what I paid for. I liked this theater better when it was IPIC. I feel like the service and food was alot better when it was IPIC. At this point we won't be going back, we work to hard for our money and all we expect is quality food and good service. I strongly encourage that they change the menu every few months because they have the same menu since they reopened and it's a real turn off.

Every time we go we are so happy with the experience. Great food, popcorn, and drinks--all brought out quickly and without disturbing the movie experience. The movies are at movie theater volume and we appreciate that: if you're going to be dining during a movie, you still need to be able to hear it! My husband loves the frozen jack and coke, chicken wings, and fries. I love the classic burger, fries, and bavarian pretzels. We always have a good time there.

So so, probably won't go back. The place has changed hands since I was there last.

My friends and I recently went to this location. When we went first of all, they took forever to kick out some douchebags. It took half the movie for them to be kicked out. On top of that me and my friends got some of their food. I asked for their "Chicken Run" sandwich, which is basically just a chicken sandwich. I had asked for fried, and I got grilled. I brushed that off, but the worst part was the fact that my friend's "Classic Burger" caused him to get food poisoning. I enjoy their gimmick, but their service and chefs are terrible. My friends and I will not be going there again.

This was maybe the best movie experience I've had. And certainly the best in a long time.The seats put you and your partner close, and puts some distance between you and others. They also have privacy seating that is even more distanced.The staff waits on you right there in the theater. It was great. And the food was good, too. Especially if you want dinner and a movie, this is the way to do it.The only downside is, obviously, once the movie starts, you really can't talk to your partner much. So not a great solution if you want to talk with someone like you might at a normal restaurant.

I really love this movie theater. They have the best cheeseburgers, fries, and bbq wings. The menu is filled with delicious food to choose from. The seats are so comfortable. The theater is always clean. And the staff is always so nice and welcoming. My family and I really enjoy going here to see movies.

Went for the first time on Valentines Day. Arrived early enough to scope out the place. Loved the Art on the wall and pretty cool it has 2 pool tables. However, when it came time to walk in the actual theater to our seats, nothing had been cleaned in the whole auditorium. we had to walk back out and wait for the staff to clean all the food still left out. It's like they forgot about that one. So we had to wait and ordered some drinks outside at the bar while we waited. We saw another couple get frustrated and demand their money back and left. They rushed and finally cleaned it as best they could to allow us back in. Movie finally starts later than original time. we didn't leave the theater until 12:30 am. Anyways we finally sit and take a little bit to see the menu. We finally hit the button to order. Took them about 25-30 minutes to attend to us. I was even hitting the button next to my seat to see if that would help. by the time we got our food and drinks the movie was almost over. The sound was awesome until the quieter parts were on. Then you can hear the sounds and rumbling from the movie playing in the next room. Somewhat of a distraction. The end of the movie was ruined as she came and gave us our bill because she said they were closing. she walked away and the movie was over... didn't even know exactly how the movie ended?? Seems like they were very underprepared for Valentines day. even though there were only like 5 couples at our showing. Left with a bad taste in mouth.... not sure if we'll go back for terrible service. I'll just go to a regular theater and spend way less.

This place is awesome ?.Eat and drink during your movie.Service is excellent. Everyone friendly and helpfulYou can pay extra and get a alcove seating arrangement just for two with a blanket and free popcorn. And when you're done with the movie there's a large bar there's also a couple of pool tables that you can play pool for free.

The first time I went with my son to watch and have dinner in the cinema and they charged me 2 times for 2 dinners it was a total of 48.00 and they charged me two times additional charges and I gave her a $20 cash tip. Soonest when I went from Cinema I got from my bank information statement SMS messages and I tried to talk to the manager but wasn't there. Not so much great experience.

Saw the new Dune movie and speakers were so loud I felt as if I was a paid actor in the movie. The volume controll is a huge issue. Just a few months ago I went to see I another movie and the Taylor swift movie was showing in the next theater. Let's just say I saw two movies that night because Taylor sang over the movie I was watching. We ask the host if see could turn down the volume (for the Dune movie) and she gave us the old "ill ask my manager". Only to return and tell us we could move further back. It made no difference because the speakers sit right above the seats in the private sitting area so it got even worse. When a movie is so loud that your head starts to pound... it's a big problem.

I don’t know where to start. We gave them a second chance. The previous experience was so bad, I don’t want to mention all the details but in a nutshell , service, food and no ‘Free’ popcorn. We asked 3 times, never got it. Management gave us free passes for another try.Went back Friday 2/24/24. Nothing has changed. Bartender Lily was great but we never got our ‘Free’ popcorn….. AGAIN. This time we hit the button, waited about 15 minutes for the young waiter to come to us, asked for popcorn, he never came back! We wanted to order more items but that red light stayed on until the end of the movie. I stopped the young man after the show. I told him to tell Tony the manager that he failed. I did this because who would believe this happened again!? Anyway, I’m done. Nice place but needs lots of help. It’s no wonder there were only 7 people watching a great movie on a Friday night at 8:00pm.I don’t like posting bad reviews but that’s how bad this experience was.
