Studio Movie Grill at City Centre combines the classic movie theater experience with a full-service restaurant and bar. Located in the upscale City Centre mixed-use development on the Katy Freeway, this venue features multiple auditoriums with comfortable reclining seats and individual tables. Guests can order from a menu of burgers, pizzas, salads, appetizers, and cocktails before or during the film using a call button at their seat. The theater regularly shows new Hollywood releases, and the atmosphere is lively, with dimmed lights during the movie and servers moving quietly through the aisles. It's a popular spot for date nights, group outings, and casual dining with entertainment. The attached City Centre complex offers additional shopping, dining, and a large parking garage.
