The Grand 18 – Winston-Salem

Always great service, movie chairs are so comfy, decent prices especially on Tuesdays

Not great, but miles above the rest of the theaters in Winston-​Salem. We go on Tuesday nights for their Super Saver deal — regular tickets just $ 7 each! There’s no student discount on Tuesday nights, and if Tuesday happens to be opening night for a flick, then the Super Saver deal doesn’t apply. The seats are acceptable. They recline slightly, but not much. There’s plenty of leg room between rows. The theaters are cleaned well between showings. The screen are a bit dim. The ticket sellers are fast, the concessions folks are not, so if you get to your show late, you might want to skip on drinks and popcorn. The bathrooms are well maintained.

My go-​to movie theatre! Lots of screens, and they offer 3D and IMAX as well! All the theaters have stadium seating with comfortable chairs and of course they have all the normal amenities as far as drinks and food. There is also an arcade out in the main lobby. The picture and sound quality in all of their theaters is always top notch. Unfortunately movies are expensive these days, but unless you go to a $ 2 theater, I would say their prices are on par with other similar theaters. I also want to point out that every time I have been, it’s always been very clean (I’ve been to some really gross, «sticky floor» theaters before… never had that experience here). If you want a good movie experience, I always recommend this place, but make sure you bring a decent amount of extra money if you want food and drinks!

I am a HUGE fan of this place! I saw The Big Short here the other week, and again it was a fantastic experience! The theatre is GIGANTIC, and offers a wider variety of movie times for a number of movies which makes it very flexible to go to one depending on your schedule for that day. The ticket prices are more pricy here, as it’s a «you get what you pay for» type of deal here. I try to go around the middle of the afternoon where tickets can be at low as $ 5.50, and if you are in school, you can get a student discount as long as you show the ticket people your student ID card. The place takes credit/​debit cards as well, which is nice and convenient, and will always ask you about your Carmike Rewards card which helps you earn points every time you spend money buying a ticket, or purchasing refreshments. When you get enough points, you can trade them in for a free movie or free refreshments.
The arcade has a variety of things for the kids, and they also have a butter machine by the napkins, where you can put as much butter on your popcorn as you like! I LOVE butter on my popcorn so that’s an all time favorite for me. The screening rooms themselves are very large and comfortable with reclining chairs, it’s like watching the movie in a recliner! The rows of chairs are ascending so no matter where you sit in the theater you can clearly see the movie in a clear fashion.
The customer service here is also very good. Awhile back I went to see Selma, and the power was knocked out in the entire theatre, they could never get it back on, which bummed me since the movie was almost over, and to make up for it, they gave everyone in the theatre free vouchers to see any movie of their choice. All I had to do was bring it to them the next time I wanted to see a movie, and it was free of charge! I ended up seeing Furious 7 some months later which was awesome as well. Overall, this theatre is 5 star quality, it can be pricy at night, but hey what else do you expect from such a nice theater, right?

This theater has the most comfortable seats, but it does cost a bit more so we save it for «fancy» occasions. The food is more expensive but you do get refills if you opt for the large sizes. It’s always clean and well kept and doesn’t smell funky, so that’s a plus.

We’re in Screen 15… Not fancy … Older cloth seats… No recline
Hmmmmmm Missing the Dine n Wine Movie in Atlanta!
At least no one is talking at the screen!

Nice theaters, but slow service, cannot buy tickets at the concession stand, so you have to swipe your card twice. The popcorn usually sucks here, it might be fresh, but the quality of the popcorn is horrible with lots of tough kernel skins. IMAX is great, arcade and party rooms are a nice feature, but the extra concession stands are never open.

Great movie theater. Very large theaters and comfortable seats. It’s got all the major movies in theaters. It was a little further north than what I expected in Winston-​Salem. However, it is probably the best theater in town.

We love this theater. It’s always clean and the atmosphere in the lobby is inviting and fun with lots of color and light. It definitely adds to the experience of a night out at the movies. There is an cool arcade as well.

This movie theater is what you typically expect. I think the price is up to $ 10 per ticket now which is ridiculous, but it’s what I’ve come to expect.
The theater is located on the end of town (which can be an inconvenience if you live on the opposite end), the seats are comfy, the food is over priced but it’s always good.
The staff are always nice and the theater always has the latest movies with an assortment of times.

A great theater, clean, friendly staff. I enjoy my experience eveytime. Left my phone in the theater the other, they did not hassle me about returning into theater even though we had already left. I seen other thea t her hassle people about left items.

Awesome theater. Best one in the area. Always clean & always great customer service. I go to this theater frequently.

As far as Winston Salem is concerned I think this is the best theater. It’s a bit of a drive from where I live (Ardmore) but it has an IMAX, and ample seating. They have a discount program you have to buy your way into, but if you go to the theaters a lot, it’s totally worth doing.
In regards to the concessions, I am a popcorn fanatic. Their large (1 free refill) with a drink costed us 14 bucks. YIKES. My only complaint was that they didn’t put butter halfway through when filling up your popcorn. They did provide a butter station, but no salt packets so I had to fill a small cup to salt my popcorn during the show.
Anytime a NEW must see movie comes out, I’ll be here.

Another place in the triad I’ve been coming to for years is The Grand! This is by far the nicest theater in the area. It is always very clean and comfortable! The food selection is great and there is usually some sort of deal so you can get more bang for your buck. The staff is also nice and helpful! It’s never crowded and provides a really nice family atmosphere.

Love this theater. I visit it quite often and every time is great. It’s clean, service is always quick at the concession stands and the best part is its right down the road from my house. Prices are to be expected for a IMAX theater so not to shabby.

This is the theatre I always go to here in Winston-​Salem.
I live a bit closer to the Wynnsong cinema, but the Grand 18 has lots of screens and it’s generally pretty cleaned and well-​staffed. I’ve never been to Wynnsong before, but the Grand is in a less busy area, so it seems like less of a hassle to get there.
Moving here from the East side of Charlotte, I was spoiled by being 5 minutes away from the AMC Concord Mills theatre– which is probably one of the nicest theatres in North Carolina. Grand 18 is a bit older, but beggars can’t be choosers.
It’s never too crowded and the staff is always courteous.
Just one piece of advice: don’t get ice in your drink here. It tastes like the ice machine needs a good cleaning. Other than that, the popcorn has never tasted stale and they have a good snack selection.
I like that they have separate bathrooms for imax customers and all the theatres have nice chairs that lean back.

A nice big theater with 18 screens there are plenty of choices. I saw The Fluffy Movie and it was hilarious. Like most theaters the concessions are where they make their money so eat before or go to dinner afterward.

As others have also said, this is my go to theater in Winston-​Salem. It isn’t the closest to me by far but it is worth the ten minute extra drive to be in an updated theater. The theater is always clean and the seats are comfortable! There can sometimes be long lines at the concession stand which is a touch annoying when you want to hurry in to your movie but overall it is not too bad.
I signed up for the reel rewards last time I was in. It is $ 10 for the year but you get a free small popcorn and soda when you sign up, 10% back from all your purchases, and $ 5 on your birthday. We go to the movies a few times a year and I love some good overpriced concessions so it made sense for us to go for it.

This is my go to movie theater. They have lots of screens so it is easy to find a good time to see the movie you want. The theaters have comfortable seats and the restrooms are pretty clean. I think this is one of the pricier theaters in town but worthwhile because of its location and size.

This is our theater of choice in the area due to the fact it’s newer, they have stadium seating, and IMAX. Unfortunately, it’s rather expensive… our party of four adults dropped $ 58.00 just to get in the door for the 3-​D IMAX showing of the Hobbit last Friday, not to mention the $ 43.00 at the concession stand for the typical movie-​food fare. As a result, we have to REALLY want to see a movie in the theater rather than wait for pay-​per-​view before we come here.
