Reviews of North Grand Cinema - Ames Independent Luxury Theatre (Movie Theater)

Jasmin Devitt

The chairs are amazingly comfortable, and this is coming from someone with a bad back, and the whole new look is attractive and inviting! We like to take the kids on Tuesday when less people go.

Jessie Liebenguth

Enjoyed my experience here. Tickets and concessions were similarly priced to the other theater in town and I thought my can of local craft beer was reasonably priced. We arrived about 20 minutes before our show and the only row with seats next to each other was the front, but because the chairs recline, it wasn't too bad. Usually movie theaters are ice cold, but I was pretty warm at our show, however it was also 100 outside. Staff was polite, restrooms were clean.

The seats are good but not the BEST but I enjoy going there

Jeremiah James

You can actually have a adult beverage there.

Vishal Raul

Lot of brands to shop

Devesh Mohan

This place is a gem. I wish they did old film showings and specials, perhaps even a customer poll for a most fan requested film per month. Better than Cinemark with great customer service, cozy, next to the best Mexican restaurant in Ames Carlos' quesadillas, and cheap

Rodri Gueva

Chad Huddleston

Greg Kinzle

Sharon Cuvelier

So comfortable and relaxing. A wonderful theater.

Emily Dux Speltz

Super comfy seats, great popcorn, friendly staff, and one of the managers even came around with mints for everyone after the movie and asked us how we liked it. That was such a great touch!

Mike Huss

Great Place

Jen White

Comfortable chairs, awesome snacks to buy for the movie.

Bob Best

Fun for all

Kaitlyn Maass

Good chairs, nice location. The snacks and beverages seem a little pricey but depending on what you want. Their portions seem normal & have some "delacies" as snacks. Would to try them after they get a little more on their feet. Had some tech issues but worked as fast as they could to fix and notified the audience (at least they were honest). Otherwise the experience was good!

Jacob Sparrey

Very goof

Ashley Young

Super comfy seats!

Evan Engler

Seats are very comfortable. The arm rests do not go up, however they do recline a good amount. There is a tray and they serve alcoholic beverages.

Laura Hansen

Our go to movie theater now. Awesome we can get cocktails at reasonable price and have always had great service from the employees. Best of all though, no processing fee for buying tickets online!!! Absolute heros.

Nicole Mills

Been here many times. Clean, friendly staff, comfortable roomy seating, and you can relax and have an alcoholic beverage. The only thing I'd change is to have more of a variety for snacks. Will always come back to this theater.

Aside from the reclining seats and table to place your various assortment of snacks, i enjoyed going to see a movie here because of the staff. I had never been here before and want used to the choices they have or the ability to select your seat at the register. The people at the counter didn't get annoyed with me, they walked me through my choices setting as i was a little overwhelmed, the they're in my town doesn't have any of this. I was especially surprised that when i had trouble carrying my 'big kid drink' as they called it as well as my coke and popcorn, the guy at the front counter told me he'd carry it in for me. They even offer you a mint after your movie, that's just cool.

Kent Bachman

Excellent experience. Working out a few kinks but will definitely go back. It's the little things. Sharply attired polite staff, not sloppy looking. Mints when your movie is over. Best seats in town.

BREIGHTON Robison Engeman

Locally owned. Great staff. Clean. Better seats than the overpriced, chain 12-plex.

Michael Thompson

Love the remodel! beer and movies thank God back!!!

Luke Maan de Kok

Cool hidden spot in Ames

Travis Yeager

Cheap tickets. Nice chairs

Stefan Hey

Fantastic Movie theater... why aren't there more cinemas like this? The seats in this cinema are just amazing. The best seats are in Row C; seats in the back, will be a little bit far away.

Gary Pencook

Love this theater. Well priced and the seats are really comfortable. I try to go here rather then the movies 12 if I can help it.

Holly Kruger

Love this theatre. Nice to be able to reserve seating, have a drink and the prices are fair.

Ed Hendrickson

I like going to this theater. The seats are comfy and go back a lot further than the ones at the other theaters in Ames. Plus Tuesdays are $5 movies

Sarah Roltgen

Friendly staff, yummy craft sodas, and amazing seats. The remodel looks great and showcases an inviting, cozy lobby area. Definitely my new favorite place to see a movie!

Tim Shea

Yes. Plush seats that recline pretty close to a flat 180. Bar with local brews and wine (full bar coming soon). Craft sodas and fresh popcorn. Drinks are 6.00...if they had $4-5 beers I would be here for happy hour.

Kunal Das

Great experience

austin woodin

Great place to see a movie, best theater in Ames.

Rob stirle

Said b4 and still the same love everything here seats prices service with a smile

Devin Sloan

This is a good theater. I hope it stays open for a long time. Parking lot is usually full so I hope its doing well. I like the service staff here, and the seats are comfortable.

Daniel Cordero

Very good theatre. Could definitely tell it's brand new. Smaller size theatre rooms which means you have a good seat almost anywhere. Acoustics in the room were good with clear audio. They sell beer and craft sodas not to mention the popcorn of course. The seats recline pretty far back which is also nice. It's also priced well! Highly recommend.

Scott Kath

North Grand Cinema Ames newest theatre offers luxury reserve seating, and a premium movie experience! In the north grand mall, you can see a new movie, and then get a burrito afterwards at the new Mexican restaurant!

Grant Golden

Love this cinema. Spectacular customer service. Their closed caption devices are state of the art. Their snack selection is amazing. Will go here whenever I see a movie in northern Iowa!

Jeffrey McDowell

Nice theatre! Great seating.

Jason

This is the nicest movie theater in Ames with good food options like hamburger that is good. Alcohol is also available.

Brandy Gordon

Love this theater. Amazing seats and it's not as pricey as I thought it would be but we did go to the matinee. You can also buy adult beverages.

Annie L

The new seats are very nice, but the leather makes them hot, and so the whole theater stank of sweat. It was rank, and through the whole movie I never got used to it.

Jon Rounds

Nice and updated.

Barbara Marvick

Always love this theater, family feel, mints and comfort. Plus the no extra fee for online tickets is a major plus!

Scott Brause

Good value, comfortable seats.

Andrew Westlake

Much prefer this locally owned Cinema to the chain in town. Smaller but cheaper and better in so many ways!

Jing Li

Seats are comfortable.

Todd Safly

Best seats in town

Nathaniel H

We love this theater. Great amenities and concession.

connie c

Great movie theater with luxury seats that lay back. They have concessions that can be somewhat pricey, but that's how movie theaters work. Depending on where you're sitting, and if there are people in front of you, you may need to lean back the seats in front of you to get a better view, but only if there's no one sitting there. They also accept moviepass cards. You choose your seats there on a screen with an employee. I think this place is great!

Mike Abrams

Renovated theater with assigned reclining seats. The various theater rooms are smaller, and the concessions are reasonable priced.

Dave Olson

Friendly staff that is happy to help. The most comfortable reclining seats I have even seen in a theater.

Mark Mehl

Clean place with comfortable reclining seats and wide aisles. Plenty of seating.

Michael Abele

My new movie place

Jeff Hedlund

Edward Fulk

Very much improved from the last time I went there... Five years ago.

Robert Kite

Nice little modern theater, always comfy and they serve alcohol which is awesome.

Kate Weeks

Great recliners seats, easy to buy tickets online, they serve alcohol if that's your thing, and even had breath mints when we left the theater:)

Edward Burke

Very nice and helpful staff

Shrawan Ram

Great theater

Baba Agbaje

Most comfortable seats in a 100 miles radius as far as I know. My 2nd favorite theatre but my favorite seating. Feels very posh and high end. Add Kettle Corn and a more experienced and better organized staff and you have a perfect 10. Glad to support a locally owned and operated establishment.

Curious Traveler

Amazing seats, Friendly staff, good snacks.

Alex Rogers

Best seats ever!

Tim Morrison

Great shows with great seating. Plus refills on large items.

sarah winters

Very nice theater with the comfiest chairs in town. Staff is very nice and helpful. Everything is clean and the renovations make it look so much better. Hoping they get some hot dogs or something more to eat but the candy selection is amazing.

migate no gokui abarado

Nice good sound goos seats

Jennifer Naeve

Most comfy theater I have ever been to.

Austin M

By far the most comfortable seats I've sat in at a movie! Great concession selection they even have adult beverages! The staff if always helpful, and courteous.

Anik

A decent cinema with really comfortable seating arrangement. However, the walls are not padded properly and you can occasionally hear noises from adjacent halls.
