The Big Picture Theater & Cafe

Reviewed By pr650

A comfortable restaurant plus a movie theater and you can take food in to the movie with you! Friendly staff, arrive an hour before the movie to avoid the last minute rush. Hold seats in the movie theater esp. if u plan to eat there.There are about 6 seats with tables in front of them, otherwise grab a folding table.
