What diners say — our read

There is no middle ground in these 18 reviews. Reviewers who mention the state of the room rate this place 4.8 on average — it is working in the restaurant’s favour.

More reviewers landed on 5 stars than any other score — 11 of 18. 15 of 18 rated reviews are four stars or higher; 3 are two or lower.

The health record runs ahead of the reviews. The last DBPR inspection returned an A (97/100) with 1 intermediate violations. That result dates from April 6, 2026. Ranked against Lake County, it is safer than 89% of the restaurants we score. What the inspector actually wrote up: dishwashing facilities.

With both signals pointing the same way, there is little to argue about on this listing. The reviews themselves follow, unedited and newest first.

    As always workers were pleasent, seating was nice ..they did however start the movie 15 minutes late but that's ok

    Went here with my wife for date night and the theater is surprisingly well kept. I was worried based on my past experience with movie theaters in malls. But this one was amazing and the seats even reclined and were so comfy.

    The theater is located inside of an old shopping mall, I did not know that there was a Food Court before visiting or we would’ve had lunch there before our movie. This is not the closest theater to me, but we had a gift card so we went anyway. The theater itself is very clean and nice.

    Great place for movie viewing and comfortable reclining seats. Never have to watch to watch a movie

    Staff friendly and theatre clean.

    Great theater. Recliners for everyone. Very enjoyable.

    Workers are always present, and usually very knowledgeable where things are located.

    Interesting set up. They’re inside a mall and the theater is split into 2 sides. Both have concessions stand. Visited during the opening week for the collectibles, which they did not hand out when you scan your tickets. Strange. Luckily we remember to ask before leaving. Seats are pretty nice. Concessions have plenty of options. They have the specialty popcorn buckets and sippers in their own display. Fabulous.

    Now it takes over 20 minutes of waiting to go online to buy tickets. And they still charge a convenice fee! Well never mind that.

    This was my first time to this theater in years and it's a nice theater inside a mall. The sound was excellent and there is plenty of leg room. The seats are actually recliners, which is a plus and a minus. A plus because it's almost as comfortable as home, a minus because it's easy to fall a sleep if you get too comfy. The prices are very low too. I don't know if it was because I was at an early showing or not, but it was less than $11 for a standard movie, a small icee and a small popcorn. I just hope the decline of American malls does not force it to shut down. Update: I went back another day. My last visit was on a Tuesday and they have a $5 special on Tuesdays. Normally the ticket price for standard is about $7 during the day, which is still a good price. I do have one complaint, but it does not effect my star rating, the control for the recliner could be better placed. Sometimes when I shifted in my seat I accidently bumped the controls and the seat moved. Also an added note, both sides of the theater are great, both have superior sound (I could really feel the rumble and hear the separation of the sound from left to right) and both have recliner seats, but only the newer section of the theater, theaters 7 through 12, has stadium seating. UPDATE: We purchased our tickets for The Mandalorian and Grogu in advance. We purchased our usual favorite seats. Turns out when we got to the theater our seats were apparently being removed for updates. However, the employees handled…

    Clean and comfortable reclining seats. Snacks and drinks available.

    SO LOUD IT WAS UNBEARABLE! And 2 waters for $12.18 is ridiculous. I won’t be back!

    There is nobody answering the phones at the Leesburg AMC Theatre, this is why your theaters are failing. Try to do a little customer in interaction. It would go a long way.

    Really enjoyed our visit to see the Devil wears Prada 2. Very comfortable theater! I just wish the consession prices weren't so excessive! 😔.

    Great theater to go an enjoy some time away from things. Staff & theater are always very nice

    We were surprised with our visit here to this theater. We had heard horror stories about this place. Only complaint was possibly the 🍿. Seemed a little stale and cold.
