The original couple locations had _good_ food. AKA food good enough to go there just for the food instead of some local joint. Somewhere along the way I think they must have cysco'ed their food, because the last couple times I went there the food was definitively subpar.
This seems to be an unavoidable side effect of trying to scale like this, but I guess its just something you have to suck it up and move on (there is a up market drafthouse clone near my house, although their food was also on a decline pre Cov19.).

But it was obviously one of those grad school exercises on how much you could lower quality and still sell at the old price gone terribly, terribly wrong. Someone told themselves they'd make it up in volume but they were mistaken. It's unfortunate because surely Alamo like any other theatre makes far more in concession sales than ticket sales. Their CEO needs to completely rethink his strategy and return Alamo to its roots, or more likely get booted in favor of someone who will.
