Raleighwood Cinema Grill

So surprised to see that Raleighwood has current big movies now! We saw Avengers Endgame and were thrilled to get two tickets for $8!

We arrived very early and were lucky enough to get a close by parking spot plus a great seat in the theatre.

As always, the theatre shows old Warner Bros. cartoons until showtime - the kids always like that.

Our server, Becca, was very friendly and we placed our order right away. Raleighwood lets you know up front that food orders will take about 30 minutes, so expect a wait.

We ordered buffalo wings, onion rings, two drinks, one grilled chicken salad and one mushroom Swiss burger.

The onion rings were so good! Hubby enjoyed the wings. My burger wasn't nearly as good as burgers I've gotten here in the past, not sure if they changed or it was just an off day. My side salad was covered in olives - yukk. Had I known I would have asked for none, but instead was picking olives out of my salad in the dark...

Great movie, food was overall pretty good - $42 before tip.

The food was good, the service was good, the movie was good, and the tickets were cheap! That's a win in my book! I visited with some friends from out of state and they commented on how fancy the theater was. Everyone enjoyed the movie and the food.

Made the big mistake of going there to see The Avengers Endgame on opening week. We arrived very early, got good seats and placed our food order. Place was packed I could hear people breath, chew, gulp on there drinks. Horrid service! I could hear the waitresses saying to customers " if you want another drink you have to tell me now because I can't fit here after the movie starts SMH!! They ran out of wings and pizza Huh! How it's that possible?
Big block buster movie opening week. Then to top the night off everybody was waiting for the finally
The last clip that all there movies give away AND
One employee shouted and said the movie is over go home Lol!!!! Classy place.. go at your own risk.

I am still a fan of this venue for movie-watching, but the food is full of okays and not okays. Husband had the Italian Super Sub recently which he did like. I had the Grilled Chicken Salad (the Cajun Tuna one is sadly gone) recently, and it was okay. LIked that everything was in chopped sizes for easy eating in the dark, but could really do without the crappy canned black olives.

Fast forward to another recent night where we decided to share the "Ultimate Nachos". Uh, never again. These were pretty gross. Thick chips, with what tasted like canned chili and plastic-bag lettuce. Plus more of the crappy canned black olives.

Drinks are just fine...I am still a fan of the Coppola chardonnay for 7.50, and Husband was fine with his Yuengling for 3.95. I probably won't do another unsweetened iced tea...although a big plastic glass, it grated on my tummy. And do know that a plastic glass of water will cost you fifty cents.

Tickets for two, although up to $11, are still reasonable. (Note you still need CASH for the tickets!!!)

Service is just fine. Heads up that if you sit in the back near the kitchen, you have to be able to ignore the comings and goings and sometimes loudness from the kitchen. Other reviewers have complained about the office chairs, but may I say they are much more comfortable than the office chair I sit in every weekday at work!

Besides the movie itself, my favorite part of the experience here is the concert footage they play before the movie . Most recent was Billy Joel.

Will continue to go here for movies that we want to see (it's very close to home), but do wish they would work on the quality of the food!

Didn't go in, just stopped for popcorn. Didn't find any. You have to buy a ticket and be seated. Not what I was expecting, but not bad either. I'm just indifferent, and should I want to eat during my movie, I'd most likely be back to give it a try.

The food is pretty good, but it's a movie theater, not a fine dining establishment. Clean. Comfy chairs. Perfect set up for my wiggly family. Service is nice.

Not my kind of theater, chairs are not comfortable and they are too close together. Did not order anything to eat but 4 dollars was a great deal to watch "The Grinch" at 11:30 I must say that because there were only another 6 people I had no problem lounging but I can't see doing that when there are more people around you, it must be uncomfortable when the place is packed and the smell of food is something I wont get used to in a theater, sorry but that is my opinion but at the same time I dont want to hurt their business, would come back on a slow morning for the same deal

Reviewing Raleighwood is not an easy task because it is a hybred, part restaurant, part movie theater and it does a capable, but not excellent job in either area but the overall experience probably rates 3.5 stars thus the 4 star rating. I ordered a mushroom burger plate and my wife had the chicken with bacon sandwich (both around $10). Both were better than a fast food chain, but not up to a specialty burger place. The movie experience as far as seating is better than the average multplex as you sit in a reclinable swivel chair similar to a good executive desk chair. The screen and audio are similar to a low end multiplex. The bottom is you get a rasonable dinner and movie evening for less than $40 for 2 plus tips.

I really enjoyed my matinee flick at Raleighwood Cinema Grill today. It was a nice treat for my little one and I to get out and go to the movies together. We walked up to the ticket booth and no one was there, so we took it upon ourselves to enter and there was a sign that said seat yourself and your ticket would be added to the tab at the end of the showing.

The theater was nice and clean full of big comfy leather office chairs, tables, and countertops. There were menus, napkin caddies, and salt and pepper shakers strategically placed throughout the theater for your dining and drinking pleasure. A server greets you upon your arrival, nice fella he was, offered us drinks and food then told me a little about the place.

I ordered a half sweet half unsweet tea and we split some mini corndogs. The food was mediocre but the cleanliness and price made up for that. $3.25 per ticket for matinee showings. However, I was a little disappointed that they don't offer candy! They have floats, carrot cake, Dutch brownie, and some other sweet treats. I had Milk Duds on my mind, so I declined.

We will be back. Maybe even start a little mother daughter tradition at the RCG. I saw on their website they show Monday Night Football along with nightly specials. Great place to bring the family during a matinee showing or a cool date night spot. They serve beer and wine and I believe no little ones are allowed after 6.

We came here to see Black Panther as probably the last people on Earth to see the movie and we were impressed with the Raleighwood! It was our first visit and frankly, my husband and I were a little concerned after reading some not-so-great reviews. However, we were pleasantly surprised and overall, had a great time in a different sort of movie theater.
A couple details:
The kids loved the seating arrangements, and we all found it clean and comfortable, if not a little tight in the area where we sat. Our server greeted us very soon after we found our seats, and he was attentive without interrupting us watching the movie.

The cartoons before the movie were a hoot! A cute little perk even with older kids.

The food could have been a little bit better quality and less expensive, but we expected higher prices so we ate beforehand and only indulged in snacks during the movie. The popcorn was pretty good, just a few too many burned pieces -- at least that told me it was homemade and not trucked in! The nachos reminded me of the cheap kind I'd eat at my high school football games a zillion years ago -- y'know, the kind with canned "cheese" and thick, round chips, but with the modern upgrade of an accompanying cup of salsa. The steak fries were nice and hot, and my kids gobbled them up.

The most important thing was the great matinee price of $5.50, making it a nice, affordable afternoon out with the family.
My only issue is that I prepaid online and we still had to stand in line to redeem our online tickets. No one ever checked them, so it didn't save any time or money to pre-purchase. Actually, it cost more because of the online service charge, so we'll just arrive early, stand in line and avoid that fee the next time!
We're looking forward to our next visit here already.
