Laurelhurst Theater

This is a cute second run theater. They have tasty food with huge fresh baked cookies for two bucks. The theatre has tables that make it easy to eat your pizza and drink you beer. The staff is considerate and friendly. It's one of the better second run theaters in town.

Me and a friend were super excited to see Jurassic World : The Fallen Kingdom at this theater. We went in, purchased our popcorn, and sat down to get comfy. Alas, ten seconds later an attendant, who watched us come in and assisted our purchase, tells us to leave the establishment because we don’t have a legal guardian. At 3:00 pm on a 95 degree day. I can assure that I will not be returning to this theater, let alone recommending it to anyone else. I hope this review helps others make a decision as to where to see their movies.

Very dissatisfied with service I received from the older man with a vague resemblance to Alec Guinness at the concession stand last night....we bought two slices of pizza without any problem...when we went over to condiment area and I went to open a local habenero sauce they offered, the sauce sprayed out of the container...my suspicion is that the sauce is perishable and needs to be refrigerated or kept on ice because it shot out in a spray (please know that I wasn’t squeezing the bottle in any way so when it shot out I was pretty surprised)...the sauce coated my shirt with numerous blotches of sauce and also rained over the slices of pizza I had just purchased. Decided I should let the gentleman working the stand know about the sauce and replace our slices with new ones so we could avoid the fermenting sauce. Waited in line again to make my request, I let the guy know that I was pretty sure his hot sauce was going off and that we’d like some new slices that didn’t have sauce on them. The disdainful glare I received from the gentleman behind the counter for this information was pretty easy to interpret. He prepared two more slices and tossed them onto the counter at me without any acknowledgement at all. Really sucks when you approach an employee of an establishment with a legitimate concern about their food safety and they treat you with serious “F you” attitude in return. All I can figure is that he was having a tough day or that he was convinced the stains all over my shirt and the pizza slices were self inflicted. Have enjoyed going to LT for over 23 years and think the management has done a fine job overall...but maybe it’s time for some staff reminders about courteous interactions with all patrons, even those who are having a bad experience. Will go back but with the hope that staff attitude improves.

New and improved Laurelhurst Theatre now with first run movies. The Laurelhurst has always been a great place to watch older movies, but they have upgraded for first run movies. Same good selection of food and drinks, the pint and popcorn combo is definitely a winner. My concern was with the actual theaters. But upgraded seats, screen, and sound makes for a great place to watch a movie.

Loved this place. Took me back to my childhood. Old fashioned, no frills movie theater. Great popcorn and they don't skimp on the butter. The admission is fair and the other food looked good. Good movie choices.
