arly on a recent Saturday, my husband and I woke our two kids and told them to get dressed quickly – we were having a movie for breakfast! They were excited when we explained that we’d catch an early film and eat breakfast at Movie Tavern’s new Roswell location. Tiered seating allows for good visibility and we settled into comfy cushioned recliners, which my 7-year-old son proclaimed “luxurious.” Each seat has an in-arm cupholder and small tray table (that can be moved in and out without disturbing the patron next door) along with a call button for the wait staff.
The breakfast menu, offered only during the 9 a.m. screenings, includes pancakes, French toast, egg sandwiches and quesadillas ($3.99-$5.99) and the kids’ menu serves up smaller versions of these choices with home fries, along with milk, juice or a fountain drink ($3.99). Our food came, with cloth napkins and silverware, as the film started. We found that finger foods, like the egg and cheese sliders, are easier for kids to get to their mouths when the lights are out! When the lights came up, my 11-year-old daughter noticed some teens wearing pajama pants in the theater, and thought that would make the breakfast theater adventure even more fun. “Is it worth getting up early to have a movie for breakfast?,” I asked my children. They yelled an enthusiastic “Yes!” You don’t have to order food to see a movie, and you don’t have to see a movie to eat at Movie Tavern. If you visit in the afternoon or evening, a full menu is available, and guests have the option of dining in the lobby bar before or after a screening. – Dalia Faupel 58 Atlanta Parent February 2014
