It's brought out to you by a server, all at the same time, they said. Since it was our first time experiencing this, we asked how the food is brought to us, because they don't have a concession stand. The first time we came to this theatre, we ordered popcorn and soda. I’ll just wait for movies to hit the streaming services instead. I realize that this is the direction in which theaters in general will probably go. Having servers continually buzzing around during the movie is distracting.

My husband and I agreed that after this experience, we are not fans of the “fork and screen” concept. We took our places in the front row but despite the seats ability to recline, we still had to crick our necks for almost three hours to see all the action on the screen. We made the mistake of going on a Tuesday where ticket prices are slashed so the theater was full of reclining people eating pizza, popcorn, nachos, etc. The actual theater we were in was TINY and only had four rows of reclining seats. This had more of a hotel lobby vibe than a cinema. Since ticket and food sales are only done via app or kiosk, there was not the usual smell of buttered popcorn in the air or movie posters anywhere. The lobby was sleek and modern looking (almost sterile) with a bank of automated ticket kiosks and a bar over on the side. It was our first time at this type of “fork and screen” theater so we really didn’t know what to expect. My husband and I went to Studio Movie Grill yesterday to watch the “Elvis” movie.
