Might be only movie theater you ever go to with dirt parking lot, back row of velvet love seats with pull up tables so you can eat a meal or have a beer that you can order from the attached cafe that has great menu, full bar, espresso machine, soda fountain, etc. while watching a movie. Great setting and cool ambiance. And great Mountaintop Film Festival every January. Even in a city of a million people this place would be a remarkable gem. The fact that it is nestled in the Mad River Valley in a town of under 2,000 makes it even more remarkable and precious. Two thumbs up!

We arrived early and had drinks in the lounge area, which is rather quaint.
Then we ordered dinner and ate it in the theater. The burgers were large and great tasting. The side salad with the burgers was also very tasty.
We saw a first run movie.
The theater is nothing fancy.
It is nice to be able to enjoy a tasty meal and a movie at the same time at the same place.
We know from prior visits that the breakfast is quite good.

You've never had a breakfast sandwich like this before - roll was soft, eggs perfectly cooked, cheddar, and sausage - I've had plenty such sandwiches before but this is the best ever!! We live in NJ otherwise I would get this sandwich all the time.

We weren't sure what to expect, but were very pleased with the meals we had at this cafe. The crabcakes were some of the best I have ever had. For being in a small town it was very busy on a Saturday afternoon, but we still received great service!

We have just returned from an excellent evening at the Big Picture Theatre. I ate the mushroom ravioli and my husband ate the steak. We agreed that this was the best food we've had so far on our trip to New England. Don't expect luxury surroundings but be assured of friendly service and the best food at reasonable prices.
