Literally... Dinner & A Movie

Among many of the words or phrases that go hand in hand-
dinner & a movie is one of them.  
You know when you're planning to catch a flick and your food at the restaurant is taking
FOR-EVERR to come out and you keep looking at the time  to make sure you will
make the movie at least by the time the previews are running.
WELL...  if you don't know about it yet...  you can actually do dinner and a movie.
All at the same place.   You can do it at the MOVIE TAVERN
There are about 15 theaters so far but the closest one to me was the one in Collegeville.
140 Market Street  Collegeville, PA- in the Providence Town Shopping Center.


So you walk in, purchase your tickets and you can order a drink while you wait...
or you can  eat at a table.  We wanted the full experience so we decided to get
a drink and get in line. The movie Real Steal was to start at 9:30pm so at 9:00
they started to seat us.  You walk into a small and intimate theater and there
are really big and comfy seats with swinging table tops.


A server comes to you and takes your food and drink order from a pretty simple
but decent menu. American food mixed with a little flair.
We ordered fried pickles and the Game Day Platter.



The food overall was pretty good. The buffalo wings were quite tasty and the fries were good 
(could of used a little more bacon though) and the Mini Me burgers come from 1 regular
sized burger cut into 4 pieces...all were ok.  
The best of the night was the hot (temperature) deep fried pickles with chilled
ranch dressing. The overall experience was great.  The theater wasn't too busy
but being able to eat before and during the movie was pretty sweet.
You might think it would be distracting because the server comes in here and there but
after the first 5 minutes or so... it's no big deal! (there is also a button
that you can press that allows the servers you need them for something)
I would recommend The Movie Tavern!  I would also recommend watching Real Steel.
