Movie Tavern is another movie-viewing-plus-dining experience. If you can’t afford one of the high-end places, but still want to experience being able to order and eat your dinner during your movie, this is the place to try. They are significantly cheaper than most other places of a similar setup, but the food quality and service reflect that. It’s a great option if you want to give this type of experience a try before spending higher amounts on a more upscale theater.
