The Palms Theatres & IMAX

The Palms Theatres & IMAX in Waukee pairs a full multiplex with Rick's Cafe Americain, a movie-themed restaurant and bar menu. Steakburgers like the Americain and a chipotle black bean burger share the menu with flatbreads from pepperoni to bacon cheeseburger, a pulled pork bao trio and all-day breakfast skillets. In the dine-in auditoriums food is brought to your reclining seat, and the cocktail list runs from Moscow mules to a bourbon cocktail made with Iowa whiskey. The IMAX auditorium has heated recliners with proper side tables, and new movie-themed food and drinks arrive each month. Prices sit in the mid-range ($$) for a restaurant meal.
