Cobb Village 12 Cinemas

I absolutely love this theater. Fancy, fun, fabulous. Great food, bar, nice shopping and not too crowded. One year my family decided to go to the movies on Christmas and this place was perfect. It’s also great for a nice date.

We live in the Village so the theater is a short walk from our apartment. It’s a beautiful theater with a great atmosphere. But the food and drinks from the restaurant as well as the concession stand are very overpriced.
My family and I (2 adults and 3 of our kids) decided to have dinner before the movie in the restaurant area when it first opened up. Our choices were limited to non-​gourmet offerings such as fish and chips, burgers, etc. all at gourmet prices. Our total bill for dinner came to just over $ 100 for the 5 of us. We’ve paid less for dinners at places like TGIFridays, Sweetwater Tavern, Uncle Julio’s, etc. and received much better food from those places. This was not $ 100 dollar food… not in the least.
As someone with chronic pain in my back, I would love to see Cobb switch over to the reclining chairs that are offered at the theater in Dulles Mall. The reclining seats make it so that I can enjoy a movie without pain.
My biggest issue with the theater, however, is that we escorted our daughters there to purchase tickets to a horror movie that was rated R, and escorted them as far as we could to show that they had our permission to view the movie. They were 15 and 17 at the time.
The attendant told us he could not allow them in without us and that we would have to see the movie with them. We had other plans and our younger daughter with us. We did not want our youngest daughter (age 8 at the time) to see the movie and I myself cannot handle watching horror movies.
We asked to speak to management to explain our situation, fully expecting that they would be reasonable and allow our older daughters in to the movie since they had our permission to see it.
However, the manager refused. We later read up on the ratings systems for movies and the website for the place that creates the ratings system said they are merely *guidelines* and that it is ultimately up to a parent to decide what they feel is appropriate for their child/​ren. It does not say that parents must attend an R-​rated movie with their child in addition to giving them permission to see it.
This completely ruined our plans for the evening and our daughters were very disappointed. We are a blended family so they don’t get to see each other that often and when they do, one of their favorite activities is watching horror movies together.
Cobb completely ruined their excitement and what could have been a great bonding experience for two stepsisters who enjoy sharing a common love of horror movies. Nothing we said or did would change the manager’s mind and I feel he should have been more understanding and flexible.

This place was wonderful! I have never been to a theatre that sells real food! The seats were super comfortable, I love the stadium seating so you don’t have to worry about tall people in front of you. The movie was not too loud or too soft, perfect volume. There was security so I felt safe. The staff that we spoke too were all very kind. I felt like if I was to need any help in any way, the staff would be more that willing to help. I will definitely be back!

I love this theater!!! The area where you can sit and have cocktails waiting for your meal is really nice as is the barstaff. I am a vegetarian and was amazed they offer veggie burgers. They smelled so much like the real thing, I had to ask a few times whether they made a mistake. Absolutely delicious as were the home made fries. The seats are not like the cushy recliner seats in a nearby theater but the staff does a lot of good work keeping everything clean. I would not recommend going to ANY theater at the opening of a new popular movie because you are certain to have a negative experience. We go at off times; always having our pick of prime seats and the experience is always top notch. I highly recommend this theater and maybe a trip across the street for bowling afterwards. Great theater and awesome
little village!

How can I be angry while waiting for the new Star Wars to start? Well, the Cobb managed to pull off quite the feat. All I wanted was a coffee milkshake thing. First, the concessions chick (yup, only one working the stand) had to check the menu and bumbled about «Oh depends on what flavor you get blah blah blah». Just give me a damn coffee milk shake. Then I stood for 15 minutes, watching her take other orders until they finally dumped out the milkshake saying, «Oh I made it wrong, I’ll get the manager to do a refund». The manager, tiny gnome of a woman, didn’t make eye contact and grouchily refunded less than I paid. Never looked at me to say sorry or offer a free soda. I wanted to sock her in her mustached face. Then stormed off before I could say «Eat shit and die». So here I sit. Pissed in the previews… Unilocaling like «that» customer.

Three and a half stars. Reserved seating format, 10 minutes of trailers, not very crowded well after release. The most convenient parking spots are a little competitive. $ 10 for a matinée, reasonable spread of box office options and showtimes. Club membership comparable to Regal’s, I think. Friendly staff, small and heavily air-​conditioned theatres with spacious, comfy seats… some of which are very creaky. Only the crazy tall or slouchy can accidentally kick the seats in front of them, and there’s plenty of armrest to go around. Maybe we’ll try the beef tacos or turkey club panini next time.

This is the first time I have order food, i.e., food cook to order. I order just some chicken tenders and it came with fires and coleslaw. The food was horrible. The fries were cold and the tenders taste like they had been batter in the wrong flour. But what made it worse, when my wife try the coleslaw, and spit it out right away. She asked me to taste it and I was like, no. No need to tried it. I believe I was the only order being processed at 10:30 at night. It took longer than I expected and then to get what I got. So bad, I will stick to popcorn when I go there again.

My first time at this Theater — my review is limited to the Theater itself as we did not order any food.
I love how spacious the rows are! Lots of room so if someone gets up to exit the row to hit the restroom or concessions — they are not tripping over you! And there is additional space between seats so you don’t feel like you are elbowing the person next to you!
We went to see Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation. My brother bought the tickets ahead of time. We did not encounter an issue with someone sitting in our seats — I will say that the showing was sparsely attended.
Overall, I enjoyed the experience and look forward to other opportunities to see movies here!

So nice that this place is not crowded, but it was freezing inside. Remind me to bring a coat next time. For such a new complex was surprised for them not to have the comfy reclining chair. DBoX was cool, but I’ll take comfy over it any day.

Take it from someone who goes to the Movies every Thursday for opening nights, this is one of the top theaters in Loudoun County. The only down side is they don’t have recliner seats like Regal at Dulles Mall.
Pros– Seats still comfy, BEST FOOD I’ve ever had at a theatre, always good service.
–Cookies, make sure you find a soft one.
–Clean
–Large Theatres
Cons– Don’t waste your money on the seats that move, done it twice now and regretted spending so much the second time, use that money on the food, you’ll be much happier.
Order of my theaters for Loudoun County:
–Regal Dulles Mall (only because recliners)
–Cobb Village 12
–Regal Fox brambleton
–The Alamo, nothing wrong, just doesn’t feel like a true movie theatre to me, just prefer the others.
–tie for last Regal countryside (old) and Starplex (seats don’t lean back, so stiff)

Favorite movie theatre ever! The theatre itself is in a very charming location, and the inside of the theatre is clean and the décor is modern and very nice. Drinks and food from the restaurant are always on point (their Lemon Drop cocktail is the best). I have only ever had one mishap there when a flatbread my mother ordered came out of the kitchen horribly spicy (it usually was not spicy at all), but the waitress was understanding and apologetic. She graciously offered my mom another entrée if she so chose. Obviously, the theatre is quite expensive due to all of its additional accommodations, but it’s worth it! Awesome place, great food, great service, and (of course) great movie-​going!

This is a really nice theater! The seats are comfortable and it’s very clean. The screen and sound is awesome as well. It’s a great place to catch a movie and is the same price as the other theaters in the area.

Not a fan, nice establishment but wouldn’t go back. They don’t bring you food or drinks like other movie theaters, and nobody respects reserved seating. We had bought our tickets ahead of time to make sure we get the seats we wanted but when we got there, people were seating there … like uhm what’s the point of choosing your seats if they aren’t going to enforce everyone seating in their reserved seats.
Not happy at all, I had to watch the movie front seats –_​_​_​_​_​–

Would give it a zero if I could. On recent visit ordered two meals and proceeded to watch the staff use their bare hands (unclean of course) to prepare the meals. Next watched a staff member drop an item on the floor reach down and put it back on the plate (disgusting). Of course we ended the preparation immediately and demanded to speak to the manager. No one got the manager, so I found him myself. Had to demand a refund on the food (was not offered). No real apology or even a comp for the movie… will not attend this theater again. Many other better choices in the area. Stay away!

My all time favorite theatre to go to. My girlfriend and I travel about an hour to get there but it’s well worth it. Their food is very good! Nachos, bacon cheeseburgers, and ice cream are the best. You can chose your own seats on a computer screen before you buy the tickets in the front, upstairs is a bar to the left (the alcohol limit is 12 ounces), food and movies to the right. I love coming here and I’d recommend it to everyone.

Cobb doesn’t stay open late enough during the week the last shows are like in the 7pm hour.
To top it off,
2 weeks ago on a Sat their system was down and over 100 people in the lobby were made to wait over 45 mins for the first showing of SpongeBob movie. No manager in sight, no free tickets for the wait, and totally unprofessional. Oh and then when the sys came back up they sold our seats 3x’s! People in the theater were like we are ‘J2−5′ for example and kept saying that LOL. What a cluster. Ruined our whole day from all the uncomfortable and unnecessary just so the kids can have some fun shouldn’t be so hard. Oh and they stopped the movie from starting until the whole crowed got through after we were made to wait 45 mins we waited another 30 mins and still no mgr she was AWOL and still no comps. Pass out manual tix before crowd Ctrl becomes a problem and mgrs take responsibility for your actions and keep the paying customers abreast of the situ. duh!

Had a lovely girls night out tonight that included a movie at Cobb.
Their parking stinks (then again, most movie theatre parking stinks now that I think about it). It was just SO cold tonight, there was no way to ignore how far you have to walk.
Other than that, we bought tickets about an hour early, and got the last 3 seats that were together (seating is reserved), then went to get some dinner at another restaurant, and then returned for the movie.
Three girls were in our seats, but they moved quickly and apologetically when they realized we came to claim them. The seats were comfortable, the sound was good, the view was good… Overall, the experience was very good.
(It was good because I was only paying for me, and didn’t pay attention to the price. I am sure that enhanced the experience.)

Love this theater! Love the fact that we can select assigned seating when we purchase our tickets. The seats rock and I don’t feel like the person next to me is crowding me at all.
Love that they have a full bar and their concession stand has a large selection.

Our first visit to Cobb happened because the movie we wanted to watch was sold out at Alamo. Now because I have been to Alamo, I couldn’t help but make a comparison chart in my head. Here goes,
The menu at Cobb has more variety but is not as appealing as Alamo’s.
The cocktails were equally good but they don’t have as many beer options.
The place wasn’t as cosy as Alamo. And it was way more evident once you enter inside the theater. (throughly missed the pre-​shows of Alamo)
I had read reviews about the seats being noisy, ours were perfectly fine.
They don’t have proper tables, nor do they have arm tables. Where do I keep my food? The lap just isn’t a convenient option, so I didn’t get anything except for a drink. (Someone else has already addressed this issue and done a great job at it, so I won’t)
All in all it was an ok experience. Might be a great experience if you haven’t already been to Alamo.
Ps: This sounds more like a review for Alamo, sorry about that.

It’s a mega-​theater, just like every other mega-​theater.
Shiny and new for now.
Very pricey, both tickets and concessions.
Megaplex Theaters like this are what drives folks to stay home.
