Hollywood Palms Cinema

Hollywood Palms Cinema in Naperville is a full dine-in theater where servers bring food and drinks directly to your heated, reclining seat, complete with a fold-down tray — no need to get up and miss the movie except for a restroom break. Reviewers consistently praise the elaborate, movie-themed decor that's different in every auditorium, from plants to a waterfall to wall-to-wall memorabilia. A common complaint is pacing at the table: several reviewers wish appetizers came out before entrees rather than everything arriving at once on the small in-seat tray tables, and more than one mentions empty trays not getting cleared during the movie. Food and drink prices run higher than a standard multiplex, which a few reviewers flag as steep for the quality, though the $3 Summer Movie series is a popular budget outlier. Expect dine-in pricing overall, with the bar and full menu as the main draw beyond the movie itself.
