Chunky’s Cinema Pub

I misplaced my phone after watching the Star Wars reboot last week. I thought I’d left it in the theater (I hadn’t — it slipped down between the seats in the car I rode in to the movie) Tom, the manager and all the employees could not have been more diligent and helpful in trying to help me find it, in spite of the fact that I’d never left it there in the first place! We will be going to Chunky’s Haverhill a LOT more often to see flicks in the future! It’s clean, the food is good solid straight-​ahead pub fare, the service is somewhere between excellent and stellar, and the seating arrangement /​elbow room is superb. THANKS, ‘CHUNKY’S’!

We have been to Chunky’s on numerous occasions and enjoy being able to have food and drink while watching a movie. At our last visit we felt as though the theater has gone downhill. Examples are: the theatre was not as clean as in the past, chairs are in rough shape and the most glaring change was in the food. We always order the Robert Dinero Burger with onion rings. This visit the burger was at least 25% smaller than usual, the bun was the same and was not of the usual quality and the onion ring still good however we received few in comparison with past orders. Overall it feels like Chunky’s has taken a cost cutting approach, which unfortunately has hurt quality. Sad

Horrible service! The young waiter waited until the kitchen was closed and never took our order so he wouldn’t has to go through the trouble of serving is food. That’s the price the client pays for coming to a place that hires young people who are not well trained… very disappointed!

If you’re looking for the bare basics, you’ve found it here. The food is gross, the seats are comfortable but covered with food left from the previous patron and many are broken. One positive — the servers were pleasant and efficient. I’m sure they won’t be there for long. Worst part of the experience — some idiot in a wife beater at the next table vaping! Seriously, you can’t hold off fake smoking for an hour and a half? Not much fun watching a movie through a fog. I guess I should have known better. Never again! My advice — stay at home on your couch with a glass of good wine and no degenerates in sight.

This theater might have been a great place to see a movie several years ago but it isn’t anymore. I just returned from seeing a movie at this theater and it felt like I was stepping back in time. The outside of the building is quite dated and the inside isn’t much better. The movie sound and picture quality were awful and it is difficult to see the entire screen if someone is sitting in front of you. The urinals in the restroom also don’t have enough water pressure to flush completely. Fortunately, most theaters in the area now have plush reclining seats and so I’ll stick to going to AMC or Showcase.

We love Chunkys! Great prices, great food, awesome service! The seats are super comfy!
They run some great specials, which really make it a great value! Also, love their special viewings of classics, kids movies and holiday movies!
The one thing that drives me nuts about Chunky’s though is that you have to arrive super early to get a seat especially if you have little ones who need a good seat to see. If there were some way to reserve seats ahead, this would be a 5 star for me!

So I spoke with a manager named Tom and explained all this to him and he took all my info to send me free passes. Tom told me this stuff happens when we get heavy rain. Here is an idea! Fix the problem so this won’t happen. Well needless to say I never received anything from them. Honestly not that I really wanted the tickets anyway. But it’s just the fact of the matter. I will never go back to this place ever again, nor will I ever recommend this place to anyone. Years ago I would have. Anyway, I just want to say a big thanks to the manager Tom.

Had a date here and it unfortunately was to a late show. Therefore, ordering was impossible. I did like the friendly cashier and atmosphere in the theater. The menu seemed excellent in variety of foods or drinks. I do plan to try it again and I’m sure my experience will be better.

The ticket prices are very cheap. However the food still lacks flavor. I got the chicken parm sandwich it was too big to even bit into that I had to take one piece of the bread off. It had like no flavor. Also the waitress don’t check up often I had my light on for about 25 minutes and no came up to me.

Cheap prices for movie tickets. It’s a cool experience the first few times you go because of the Lincoln Navigator seats and being able to eat during/​before the movie.
But let’s be honest, the food is subpar especially for the price. Unless you get there super early, it’s tough to find good seats where someone’s head isn’t in the way and the screen is small with below average surround sound.
Will I go back? Yes because of ticket prices and convenience, but I’ll continue to grumble about it every time.

Chunky’s is what it is, Dinner & a Movie.
I wouldn’t come here for something you are dying to see, but good for the kids and groups. You eat before the movie so come about 20 – 30 before showtime. The downfall is they clear plates during the movie, hence the good for kids and not something you really want to watch; as clearing plates gets distracting and noisy.
I will say Pelham is much nicer and the food tastes way better.

The past few times I went to Chunky’s — including last night — employees bussed tables during the movie. Twice, it was during the movie’s climax. I contacted Chunky’s, reported the above, and asked if staff could wait until the movie is over to bus tables.
This was the response:
«Thanks for your feedback. I’m sorry that our staff disturbed you on your visit. We do ask the server to bus tables during the movie, as most of our customers don’t want the plates left in front of them. However, you can ask your server to wait until the end of the movie to bus your table. Thanks for your suggestion and your patronage.
Sincerely, Al Coburn»
My rating has changed. I’ve experienced better — at this particular Chunky’s location. Waitstaff walking around during the movie is disruptive, but even moreso when people are pushing past seats carrying plates during the movie. And I don’t think anyone would rather have their plates cleared than watch the end of the movie uninterrupted.

This place is pretty damn cool. Jason B. introduced me to Chunky’s for a midnight showing of The Hobbit. While the movie left something to be desired, the service did not.
They have 3-​D theaters, great junk/​pub food and no mice. FTW!
