Harlow's Food & Fun

Solid enough for a pre-movie bite, but definitely not a restaurant I would go to otherwise.  The convenience factor makes it a win-win situation.  

For $39.99 you get a 3-course dinner for two.  That comes with one appetizer, two entrees and one dessert.  It also includes the "big bang" of two unrestricted movie tickets.  Depending on what you order, you are paying about $2 to $6 for one of the tickets and getting the other one free.  Tonight was the first time we tried this.  After eating, we used the two tickets to see a newly released movie and everything went off without a hitch.  You also pay only $2 for valet parking on the Weslayan side of the building with your Harlow's receipt.  It's $3 just to park yourself in the attached garage.  

The food isn't anything spectacular, but it's not bad.  It's on the good side of OK.  We had the spinach artichoke dip, cheese pizza and a reuben sandwich and chocolate cake.  I'd recommend trying something other than the pizza.  It reminded me of frozen pizza you can make at home.  The appetizer was pretty good and the fries that came with the sandwich were really tasty.  

Again, it's nothing I am recommending unless you are going to catch a movie.  It's worth a shot to see if you like it.

If you're planning on making a night of it at Edwards Grand Palace Stadium 24, you might want to grab dinner at Harlow's before your movie.  I mean, you're already paying for parking in the garage so you should definitely make the most of it.  The only time you can get your parking for free is lunch on the weekdays with validation.

Harlow's isn't someplace you would make a point to go unless you were already headed over here to see a movie.  While you're there you can get typical food and decent service.  Check their website for specials as they often offer a dinner and a movie for two deal that would be worth picking up if there's something you want to see.

If you have a little extra time before your flick, Harlow's has a large game room where you can spend a lot of time and money in the arcade.  Also, the bathrooms over in this area are cleaner than the ones in the cinema so go here before you head in to your screening.

Harlow's is fine but it certainly isn't a destination unto itself.  There are plenty of other places that offer more amusements that are a little more accessible and do what they do on a much larger scale.
