I used to really love Studio Movie Grill. The Groupon deals, combined with getting to eat dinner during the movie, made this place my number one place for seeing most movies. If the food was only slightly better than adequate, well, it was still better than eating nachos and a soft pretzel for dinner at AMC. \n\nThe last two times I've been to SMG, the food has gotten progressively worse, to the point where I received a hamburger so burned that I could smell the charred meat immediately after they set it in front of me. Not wanting to interrupt my movie, I smothered it in mustard and choked it down, but my husband later told me the people next to us sent their food back. And there were only 5 of us in the theater, so that means they pretty much ruined everyone's food.\n\nThe seats are just okay. Having finally experienced the recliners at Arrowhead AMC (yes, I know I'm behind the times), I can't say they are all that special. \n\nThe bathrooms are continually very messy and I noted 4 unflushed toilets in a row. Apparently they don't check the bathrooms very often, because I have noted this from the beginning. \n\nSo unless I hear from someone that they've gotten their act together and made this place worth the drive (I live in Peoria), I'm not going to bother. Even at Groupon prices, I think I'd rather go to AMC or Harkins instead.
