Smitty’s Cinema – Topsham

Last week we caught a free showing of The Big Lebowski for their «Way Back Wednesday» night. Ordered a round of white Russians. It was a blast!

A unique movie experience and especially fun with kids. You get to eat and drink, including beer, while you want him the movie. Seats are comfortable, and movable for a good view. The food is focused on things that kids like. It is good, if not the most healthy. Although they have some good salads. Try it, you will be glad you did.

I LOVE this place!!! Great food and fast and friendly service :) :) highly recommend!

Visited this theatre for an evening with my boyfriend. We stayed in Portland, and had free tickets. I was extremely pleased with the service of the staff working that night. We ate before arriving, as I read the reviews before going. Others in the theatre had food, and seemed to enjoy it. The drinks were delicious! I had a margarita, which is $ 2.00 cheaper on Monday’s.
Overall, the experience was incredible, far above my expectations, and above any theatre we have in Atlantic Canada.
My only recommendation: the sound could be turned up a few notches, we missed hearing the first 15 minutes of the movie, due to surrounding couples talking. We were not that close, 6 seats away, but it was disturbing. Food for thought.
Will defiantly check out other Smitty’s cinemas in the future, as I enjoy travelling to ME and NH often.

I took my daughter tonight to smittys for the first time. We were pretty excited to check out a movie theater that also serves dinner! Unfortunately we never received our dinner but I’ll get to that.
The lobby was clean and welcoming. The front counter staff was friendly, and fast! Our movie tickets were VERY reasonably priced. We ordered popcorn of course it was delicious. For me you can’t really mess up any starch loaded with butter!
The chairs are super comfy and the theater itself very clean.
Before we came I was a bit nervous about the idea of people taking a delivering orders all around us interrupting our movie. I was wrong, the staff was stealth! I hardly noticed them moving around the theater. The aroma of food all around we decided to try it out. After ordering we waited… And waited… And waited some more. The check was dropped off 20 minutes into our wait. ??? The waitress came back 30 minutes later and asked me if the check was all set. I informed her we never received our food. With no explanation nor anything further she walked away, I presumed to get the food. An hour passed from the time we ordered and the movie credits began rolling. We left the theater and I handed the check back to the waitress and another woman. I explained the situation and was promptly given two free movie passes for the inconvenience. I completely understand mistakes happen. It’s unfortunate however I’m glad they recognized it and tried to make it right.
We will most likely be returning to use the passes. Stay tuned…

I’ll give it 3 stars for the movie, seating and fun. Food is not worth the price at all. I ordered a milk shake and had to send it back, all watery and ice crystals. Mediocre potato skins. Kids portions are okay but not tasty. Go for desert, drinks or just comfortable seats.

Clean theater, fun atmosphere and the food is great! Who’s expecting gourmet at a movie theater, anyway? I’ve been several time with my kids and brought friends too. Everyone loves it!

Not my favorite place to go and defiantly not a great place to take a date. The food in fast food quality, Im not even sure why they asked me how I wanted my burger cooked because it came cooked like any other frozen burger. If you are going you might as well eat because there is no standard theater seating. Just be sure to get there early so you don’t have to wait to get your food half way through the movie. The chairs are surprisingly comfortable though. And they are pretty clean. It’s not my favorite but it’s not the worst place either I’m sure I’ll be back.

The food was exactly as I had predicted, generic and previously frozen. The prices are rather high in comparison to the portions. It’s a movie theatre so I do understand the high prices but we were expecting a larger portion. 10.49 for 4 chicken small frozen chicken fingers and a handful of fries… not enough for my husband. I was also disappointed that the only row of seating that reclines is the very front. The lightening never dimmed and the movie was so loud! Like I had to cover my ears during certain parts because the volume was ear piercing. The 3 stars is because the theatre is extremely clean and the wait staff prompt and very friendly. It would be a fun place to take kids. However, on a date night I’d probably suggest going to dinner at a separate restaurant as the food will leave you hungry and not impressed.

I had no high expectations for this food, since its a movie chain establishment. My husband got one of the burgers and said it was forgettable and my friend got the steak bomb and stated «it was ok». I got the chicken sandwich and could taste the generic, mass produced, previously frozen slab that it really was. I added pepper and ketchup to try to kick it up a notch, but this lukewarm chicken patty was not about to be saved. The sweet potato fries were also a previously frozen and fairly soggy. Did I eat it all? Yeah, I was hungry. So was it edible? Sure. Would I eat any of their meals again? Not by choice. Would I give their drinks and desserts a try? Sure, game on, they looked interesting… and involved chocolate.
The service was great, polite, quiet, and prompt.
The chairs were comfy as heck and I liked that there were more than one option for seating styles.
I know the lights had to be on a bit for food service but I personally would have enjoyed a slightly darker atmosphere.

Brought my 10 year old grandson to see «Minions» on a Tuesday for the first show at 11:45. He chose the front row of comfy recliner seats and after reading the menu’s children’s choices, he chose the chicken finger dinner with fries. He LOVED the food and he is a very picky eater. We sat back with our feet up, like at home, and watched the movie in comfort. The service was unobtrusive and polite. I tasted his chicken and fries and was pleasantly surprised NOT to find your typical fast food. I thought the price for the movie and food was excellent. His dinner, with drink and dessert, was $ 7.99 Popcorn alone costs more than that at other theaters. The theater, as I expected, was immaculate and the air conditioning was perfectly set to be comfortable, not freezing. Now, have to return with my husband to enjoy a ‘grownup’ movie!

Smitty’s was a real joy to go to, you sit in a cafeteria type set up, extremely comfortable in business captains chairs. Good can be ordered before or during the movie and is served to you. It’s quite the movie experience, would highly recommend Smitty’s and will go back again soon! :)
You need to come and see and experience it for yourself!
