It was announced in January 2021 that Studio Movie Grill had gone out of business and the closure would be permanent.ĪLPHARETTA, GA â€' Studio Movie Grill, Dallas-based pioneer of the highly successful â€œmovie grillâ€ concept, has chosen the edge of Roswell/ Alpharetta, Georgia as the next step in its national expansion. It was closed on March 16, 202 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. They do indeed try hard to minimize the interruptions. There is some disruption to the movie from the wait staff but I expected this as well. The food isn’t anything to write home about, but I kinda expected this. The basic ticket prices for movies are in-line with traditional theaters in Alpharetta.Īll in all, I thought it was a cool theater. You can feel the quality in their projectors and sound system. The staff all carry little hand-held Palm-OS looking things to take orders. We didn’t have to wait long at all when our button was pressed. I found that they have a small army of wait staff in each theater. The servers are very attentive and any of them can wait on you. Pressing this alerts the staff that you need attention. On each table is a little button and a red light. They are comfortable but nothing like traditional theater chairs. You sit on chairs that are a lot like the big chairs in a conference room at work. If you want to avoid seeing the servers, sit at the bar seats. On the other hand, these seats have more obstructions when Quasimodo walks by with drinks. The little tables are perfect for a couple on a date because you have a tiny bit of privacy. On the other side of the isle are little tables big enough for two people. The seats closest to the screen have a long bar-like table. Each horizontal isle has seats on either side. The theaters themselves are different of course. It is almost like a train station or an airport terminal. You wait until they call you to enter the theater. It is more like an upscale waiting room with a bar. Gone are cheesy video games and greasy pop corn stands. Walking into the lobby feels nothing like a typical movie theater. The theater is in an old grocery store, restored beautifully into a modern theater, opening in June 2010.
