Yeah I noticed the same thing. I lived in Dallas for a few years and the established Alamo there was always consistently good. When the one on Bryant street opened it seemed just like the ones in Texas and I was happy how consistent the quality of the franchise was. Drinks came before the movie started, waiters were attentive, etc. Just about the same experience.

Then about a month ago I noticed it went downhill fast. My beer took about 45 mins to get to my seat and the food about an hour. I didn’t even bother ordering anything else. Towards the end of the movie I was expecting them to start handing out checks but none came. It was only once the CREDITS started rolling that they came around and since the theater was full it took a while. And even then my check, and a few other people’s, didn’t even arrive. One guy even received someone else’s check. It may seem like a small inconvenience but it’s annoying to wait in an empty theater for a bill when it should have been handed out much earlier. The waitress apologized and said she was training, which is understandable, but the weird thing was that she wasn’t shadowing anyone. Looks like they just threw her out there to figure it out.

Overall it seemed like this location started strong and then just gave up trying to run the theater well. It’s a shame because I like the concept of Alamo but I don’t want to wait long periods for service.
