University Mall Theatres is a hidden gem and locally owned business that has been operating since 1977. It is a small theater with only three screens, offering first-run movies. The atmosphere provides a nostalgic, throwback feeling reminiscent of old mom and pop's theaters. While it may look a little old, the theaters are clean, including the bathrooms and lobby, and the screens and sound are good. The seats are new and comfortable. Prices are outstanding, affordable, and some of the lowest in the area, making it one of the most affordable theaters. Specials like Tuesday discount days and a Date Night popcorn bundle are a bargain. Concession choices are very good, with quality snacks, popcorn, pizza, chicken tenders, mozzarella sticks, and candy. Alcohol is available for purchase. Refills on popcorn cost only one dollar, which is a notable value. The kid's snack box is also a perfect combo. The staff is very friendly, welcoming, funny, extremely accommodating, and nice, with management being very accessible. The business is highly recommended for getting away for a couple of hours. It is a great place for families, and a safe feeling for dropping teens off. A party room is available, and they offer private theater rentals for events like birthdays at a very low price, which includes a movie, popcorn, and soda for every guest. It is a beloved spot that customers return to regularly.
