This Movie Theater In Tennessee Is Also A Restaurant And You’ll Absolutely Love Your Visit

There's something about movie theater popcorn and a Diet Coke that puts us in the mood for kicking up our heels for a few hours and chowing down. Maybe because it's in the dark and we can't see the well of butter and salt we've just consumed? No matter whether you're a real cinephile or simply a fan of every film that's been released, the Malco Ridgeway Cinema in Memphis is the perfect way to link dinnertime and movie time.

You aren't just catching at movie at the Ridgeway Cinema Grill in Memphis, Tennessee. The upscale yet small theater manages to put quality above quantity, providing one of the best experiences for moviegoers in the state.

You'll notice right as you walk in the gorgeous movie mural on the back wall. It's been around since the 1980s, a testament to the history of the theater and the movies that form its foundation.

Can you imagine eating a meal like this at a movie theater? Probably not. Unless you're in Memphis. The spacious seating and wide armrests really make you feel like you're in a restaurant, and you can order almost anything from the grill. We're feeling that french fries are in order, and we don't even miss the popcorn.

But really. The luscious theater design is only made more impressive by the full meals that are served to you within the theater. Keep in mind that the Ridgeway Cinema Grill shows more independent films as opposed to blockbuster hits, so the whole atmosphere feels elevated and special.

Come for the Indie films and stay for the Oscar nods - this is film at its finest and food at its best. You can visit for yourself at 5853 Ridgeway Center Parkway in Memphis, Tennessee.

If you're looking to fill up AFTER the movie as well, you should probably check out the best fried chicken in Tennessee. Yes. We found it.
