Flippers II

Update 7:39pm:
After sitting in an empty theater for 25 minutes past showtime, I grew extremely agitated and told the guy outside I needed to speak to management. As it turns out, since we purchased our tickets in advance, theater number and times had been changed. The manager, Jim, was extremely accommodating as I was very angry about this. He set us up in the theater playing the show in 15 minutes, upgraded our tickets to 3D, and refreshed our concession purchases as the pop corn and drinks were cold and watered down an hour after purchasing them. In all, the experience was not great. However, the manager is the only thing that set our night around. Waiting for our movie to begin now. Thanks Jim. Christmas night could have been better but it also could have been worse.
Purchased tickets to a showing at 7. Was not let into my theater until 7:02. That is absolutely ridiculous. 7:19 movie is still not on.

Went to see Creed, it was a fantastic movie from beginning to end, the theater was ok, clean and pretty empty beside employees the tickets for two came out to be $ 15. This place is definitely the place for all the movie fanatics to go without ending up broke. I would recommend to all. I will definitely be going. Back.

My family and I have been patronizing this place for years with no extreme customer service issues until today. I waited 20 minutes for hot wings to which no one offered an apology, my kids missed the previews and intro while waiting, therefore staying was pointless. The manager had no remorse and offered no incentive when I complained. She simply issued me a refund and stated that we could not watch the movie, since she refunded the tickets. We stood there speechless, with cold popcorn and melting soda. I went to the box office and told my story, the employee understood but said there was nothing she could do. I went back inside and requested a refund for the concession snacks too. To which she turns to the staff and says, «throw this out.» Smh. They lost 31.50 today, and a long time customer. I’d rather drive to Sawgrass than submit myself to an establishment that can hire a manager with poor customer service and management skills. She is a prime example of someone put into a position without the appropriate qualifications. Go elsewhere.

My girlfriend and I absolutely love this place. It is a very low key movie theatre which sells tickets for several dollars cheaper than most. I am used to paying at LEAST $ 10-​$ 13 for a ticket. The theatre has an extensive arcade which was very reminiscent of my childhood, most upscale theatres don’t have those anymore. We don’t go to this theatre for a luxury experience. We go for the authenticity. It has a very local business feel. Now that we’ve found this theatre we won’t go anywhere else.

This place doesn’t even deserve a star. I would never let my child hangout there, even if it is a, «teenage hangout spot.» It is VERY ghetto, overrun by obnoxious RUDE children, who don’t even have the common decency to respect those who pay to watch the movie & keep it down. Many, many underage children without supervision OR home training! The fact that anyone gave this place over 1 star is beyond me!!! Before the movie began, my fiancé and I were already annoyed by the rude kids flooding the theatre. We walked out and the 1^st thing an employee said was, «Its that bad already?!» So this is obviously a regular thing for them. We asked for our money back and the manager was very nice about it and completely understood our issue. Wouldn’t recommend this place to ANYONE!!!

Okay, it’s old and old school. The place could use a re-​do BUT it is a movie theater, Xbox play room, food, and video arcade all in one and the movie ticket prices are cheap. Last time I went we did the theater and arcade and had a great time. You can go only for the video games, or just for the movie, or just for the Xbox play room but why not enjoy all of them when you go?

Cheap place to watch a movie. If you want a fancy place then pay more! Lol, it’s around $ 6 or $ 7 for a movie ticket and there is a mini arcade inside.

Can’t go wrong for the price! Let me start by saying if you are a theater snob, you will hate this place. This theater is obviously old and is in desperate need of many upgrades, however $ 14 covers a movie ticket, soda, and popcorn.
The screen is pretty standard. The sound system is okay. My least favorite part of the theater is the seats. There are a lot of seats that auto-​recline — In other words, you sit in the seat and almost fall backwards. Lol. Other seats have lost just about all their comfort.
Overall, you get what you pay for but its not the worst option out there.

Definitely not fancy, but I love this place. I’ve only been here like after 5pm on a weekday. This is where I go when there is a movie I want to see and I don’t want anyone to talk through it. No one was really in the theatre, just 3 other people and it was like I was home watching on a huge screen TV.
It probably gets crazy full of kids Friday nights through the weekends, but it’s the movie theaters after all!

I just moved here from Miami where we normally pay $ 13 for a movie.
The food was ok for theatre food. Prices are great and I saw lots of kids playing game. No disturbances during the movie.
For the price you pay its a great night out.
If you want fancy… Not the place to go.
Not ghetto… not ratchet… It’s a low budget local place with new releases where you pay almost ½ of what you would pay at AMC for tickets and food. Loved it.
Also really cool that they have sooooo many games. It’s not AMC or Dave and Busters…

This place is ghetto, good thing there were a lot of cops outside. Inside is dirty, don’t expect it to be a regular theater, its like a budget theater and very low quality. The teenagers outside were talking about having guns. Will never go back.

After reading some of the reviews of all the complaints I felt compelled to write a review. I live in the area I have a teenage daughter who loves going there on Saturday; YES because it is a teenage hang out on Saturdays. Keeps kids out of trouble. They can hang out with friends, eat, watch a movie, play some games all for $ 20. Tell me that’s not awesome especially for parents of a teenager these days! If you don’t like teenagers stay away but mainly on Saturday nights. I go there often, family from Miami meet me there for a fun budget day out, matinees on Saturdays are also pretty quite. Flippers by no means is fancy or upscale, if you’re looking for new fancy stadium style seating then go else ware but be ready to pay more than double the price. It is a family BUDGET friendly theater so you get what you pay for BUT by NO means is it a dump, filthy, waste of money, disgusting, or getto as I read other reviews say. The «itchy» girl with the Fabreeze commercial reference; come on, give me a break! Flipper’s is old but they do try to keep the place clean. Maybe on Saturday nights it might get messy but everyone knows teenagers can be pigs. It will be messy, loud, and crowded so avoid it then but any other night or day is a great place to go. The game room, the food, the prices: win win win.
I know I didnt give it 5 stars, is it is old and of course it is not «As good as it gets» theather wise but «Yay, Im a fan» 4 stars sounds just right. When I want to get dressed up for fancy date night, movie and dinner at a nice restaurant, I wont head to Flippers but otherwise I go there.

The arcade is ok but you’ll waste your money on the food and movie.
The food is really bad quality and very little. The people serving it aren’t very welcoming either, maybe because they have to work.
You can’t watch a movie in this place because people are always monkeying around and hollering like wild animals while the movie is playing. Most of the people who get in didn’t pay for their tickets either way so what do they care.
There is always and I mean always a problem in this place and the cops are always called. Whether they steal your car, windshield whippers, or there’s a stabbing or gun fight. This place has a bad element. That’s not to say that everyone that goes there is a bad element. Only the bad sort but there are many bad sorts here, people decent people shouldn’t be around.

I Usually come to this theater when I want something local and the movie I want to see is not playing at Ridge. Yes, it is OLD. There is no stadium seating (but oddly enough I think the seats are rather comfy!). Yes, on weekend evenings it is overrun with sometimes loud, unruly teenagers. That is not the time I would really want to attend this theater unless I really had no other option.
But on a Saturday afternoon it was quiet, and the perfect place for an outing for me and my 10 year old son. A cheesy movie and then some games with one of my best guys — what an awesome day!
The place seems to have been cleaned up quite a bit since the last time I was there. A couple of guys were also always attending to the games. If you lost a token, there was someone there to immediately help you. Dave & Buster’s it’s not but honestly, the games section is a step up from Kaboom’s (cleaner & probably fewer «claw» games)
The prices for the movie & food are cheaper than the chain movies. There is also a variety of food to eat & tables to eat at. There are burgers, chicken sandwiches, and pizza, among the usual concession fare. In the past I have tried the pizza and I was pretty impressed. It seemed like pizzeria pizza and not like frozen microwave pizza.
You almost feel like you are stepping back in time when you enter this theater. Would I frequent it all the time? No. But I do hope independent movie theaters remain open. This one is great if you want to give the kiddies an extra treat.

The only reason this place gets three stars is cause it was open when we decided to check out Hangover III, and really really surprising in its low prices compared to the local regular theaters. Otherwise, yeah, it’s definitely old school, reminds me what theaters were like when I was growing up. No fancy stadium seating, nothing of the sort. Sticky floors that look like nobody’s cleaned them in weeks. It doesn’t have to be like this. I’m sure that if they put a little TLC into it, although older in style, it wouldn’t be as bad.

I actual liked this placed really not upscale but as far as I’m concern the chairs were comfy and the movie was great quality. Best part was it wasn’t over crowded got to watch my movie in peace. Because the movie theater is so close to my house this will prolly be my regular spot.

My kids love to come here! Happy kids happy life!

Disclaimer: I am writing a review for a place that I have never been to. My hubby took the kids to a movie here two years ago. Yes, two years. Since then, I have heard, no less than a dozen times, how disgusting the place was. If we drive by, they go into the story again. Yes, sticking to the floors, yes overflowing disgusting garbage cans, didn’t want to touch anything… yes, I remember. You’ve told me a few times before! For two pre-​teen boys who are not all that concerned about the cleanliness of places to be so grossed out to this degree, tells me something. Poor dad, not going to live this down any time soon.

So I’ve actually been coming here since I was a kid and all the reviews who say this place is gross… well you’re right. But it used to be A LOT worse. It’s a cool place for middle school and high school kids to hang out. A lot of parents drop thier kids off there and pick them up later. It’s a safe place. Yeah, the floors are sticky. But they redid the arcade, and they have air hockey and pool tables now. You can get a slice of pizza and some pop corn and a soda for a very reasonable price, not like the other movie theaters that way over charge. About the same price for the concession as you would get at the mall. Movies run from $ 5.75 — $ 6.75. Lot of kids hang out here. It’s a good place for teens and pre-​teens to kill summer time. Better than having them get in to trouble else where, I guess.
The theaters aren’t so nice and up to date as the more main stream ones, but I always say if you’re there to watch a movie, then you’re there to watch a movie, not sit in a Lay-​Z-​Boy.
They used to have a weekly Rocky Horror Picture Show, every Friday at Midnight but I’m not sure of they do that anymore.
They also have a space set aside if you want to have a birthday party there.
If you don’t do in expecting a huge amazing movie theater, then you won’t be disappointed.

Came here many years ago during a slow weekend now its over run by kids.
At first I din’t seem to notice all the kids maybe because I still was one and at times still can be. They have a lot of games but they’re old. Employees are pretty patient and show little emotion the only emotion they may ever show is anger towards the immature crowd. Hard to watch a movie in here there’s so much talking, texting and a few other things that shouldn’t be done in a theatre.
A positive is the price they are very, very well priced I’d say $ 20 will do for a family of 3 or 4. Maybe some people don’t like the police hanging around but aren’t people less likely to cause trouble with their presence?
I say come in and check it out. I’ll more then likely be back.
