AMC DINE-IN Montclair Place 12 - Montclair, California

First time here, came during the week during the day, 1:30 show, and tons of parking, not marked well outside, but was easy to find. Pricey, but paying for the extra experience. Highly recommend. Will definitely return and recommend. Friendly, helpful staff from the ticket counter to the snack bar. Very clean from the outside to our seats. Clean restrooms. Full bar and huge menu, also had tons of souvenirs for sale as well. Cannot say enough good things about this place. Will return!

Bought tickets in line to see Becoming Led Zeppelin movie. Very generous with their popcorn and not too salty like some theaters. Recliners could use some repairs. Easy parking

I am ALWAYS here... due to my A-list membership. I believe in patronizing these locations so that they may stay open and people remain employed.

Now having said all that let me remark about how the chairs are inconsistent... some have warmers others don't. If you want to see your movie on Dolby or IMAX you pretty much need to see it the first week a movie premieres after that the showtimes alternate with what ever new movie was released.

As far as food goes... I used to love the sampler here but recently they changed the menu so that is no longer my fave. I'm bummed because it doesn't look like they added anything tasty. Removed the Habanero Mango Wings and the Onion Rings. In fact they have really minimalized their menu, which is a downer because now I will have to go get something to eat before my movie.

Note to moviegoers ordering food... TIP the delivery person. I can't tell you how often I watch these young people hustling into the theater to drop off food and I NEVER see anyone hand them anything. Parking is ample on the side facing the freeway. If you choose to park where Sear's used to be just be mindful that in the evening you are probably walking out alone with very little lighting.

"I'm giving The American Movie Classics at Montclair Mall a well-deserved 5 stars! The employees were absolutely amazing - so friendly, helpful, and genuinely nice. They went above and beyond to ensure a fantastic experience, even offering a free refund and inviting me to stop by if I had any other questions. Their dedication to customer satisfaction is truly impressive. The store itself is a treasure trove of movie memorabilia, with a vast selection of classic films and knowledgeable staff to guide you. I loved browsing the shelves and discovering new titles to add to my collection. The overall atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it a must-visit destination for any film enthusiast. Five stars isn't enough - I'd give it ten stars if I could! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

First time at this location, booked tickets for Dine in. Note that this isn’t the kind of place where dine in means that you can order when you’re sitting in your seat. You will either have to order your food at the counter 30 to 45 minutes prior to your movie time or you can do it through the AMC app 30 to 45 minutes in advance. Their bar is also located in the lobby, you can only order at the bar you cannot order in the theater through dine in. Food was roughly around $20 per person if you’re ordering a meal overall good experience.

This is my favorite theater within a 30 mile-radius. It's clean and upscale. The seating is comfortable recliners with an unobstructed view (some of the AMC's have a wall between each row that is just high enough to obstruct your view once you recline your seat).
The kids popcorn combo is my go-to choice and didn't disappoint.
The Dolby 3D theater had magnificent sound and the 3D glasses fit nicely. Unfortunately this theater has the recliners but not the heated seats. But the temperature in the theater was not too cold so it worked out.

Service was great at the concession stand.
Parking lot is huge (it's at the mall), and plenty of parking.
The restrooms were clean.
Great location to do some shopping before or after a movie.

We saw the Red One movie here recently, and my family had a blast. We ordered food ahead of time, and they delivered it just as the movie was getting ready to start, which was a cool, unique experience. The only downside was the high prices for tickets and food, as well as a noisy kid next to us throughout the entire movie, which made it a less enjoyable experience. The parents wouldn't take the kid outside either, so yeah. It's usually other people who ruin the movie-going experience anyway.

My first time at this location and I actually enjoyed my whole experience. Parking was easy, as this location is inside a mall.

No line to get in. Our tickets were purchased in advanced through the AMC app. The concession stand had a line, so we quickly opted for the bar.

Today they offered two signature cocktails. One was the Tea Rex and the other was Thunderstruck. We chose Thunderstruck which consisted of orange juice, strawberry punch, a shot of Makers Mark Whiskey, over ice and topped with Blue Moon beer for $14. This drink was actually tasty and satisfied a quench on a hot day. Or choose from their signature cocktail menu of Boozy Lemonades or Top Shelf Tequila drinks.

The main lobby consists of the concession stand, the bar, and rather large seating area with a TV, restrooms and a large glass window with a fantastic view of the freeway and city.

The theater had comfy, reclining seats with a moveable food tray and drink holder. The trays were not wiped down and sticky. (My only complaint). The trays also might be cumbersome to some patrons as their flexibility in moving around is limited. The sound was right on and the crisp image on screen got you in the mood to delve 100% into your movie.

The theater offers several restrooms, which were clean and stocked of supplies.

The employees were friendly and helpful. I made mention how the drinks when the bartender was making them had too much ice. He immediately removed some ice to an accommodating level without discussion.

I actually can't wait to see another movie here!

Four Stars due to the less than clean table tops in the theater (bring your own wipies) and I am not apt to give five stars to a place on only one visit.
