Always a delight to see a movie or a live performance at the historic Strand theater. The owners really did a fantastic job restoring this place. Very artistically updated with an awesome sound system and movie screen, yet honoring elements of the building that give you a nostalgic sense of the past. They have a wonderful selection of craft brews and some wine, but my favorite beverages there are the exauisitely blended hot teas from around the world and the refreshing, locally made, natural sodas by the Waynesville Soda Jerks. Our son LOVES their homemade brownies and popcorn too! The last movie we saw there was The Beauty and the Beast and it was fabulous! Looking forward to seeing the sequel to Guardians of the Galaxy in May 2017.

First time we went to see a movie here it was great. Different variety of snacks, friendly staff, no issues. Next time, the movie did not start until an hour after it was supposed to due to audio issues... I understand its a small theater, so small staff. But the same two guys seemed to be running around trying to sell tickets as people walk in, make snacks, start a movie and then fix tech issues. It wasnt until 20 minutes past the scheduled start time that they seemed to even try to start the movie, then realized the audio problem. I really want to love this place because its in town and super chill, but that hour delay was real rough.

The Strand is one of the most delightful small venues one could find anywhere. Its a not-so-hidden treasure right smack on Main Street, Waynesville and it a perfect spot for family entertainment - movies and live music. And they book some of the finest musical acts performing today. Always a treat! The food & drink offerings a just right, also! And, even more, Lorraine & Rodney are the perfect hosts and make everyone feel part of the family.

I havent seen any live performances here, but the screen and seating are a joke. It looks like something I could put together in my basement. My suggestion would be to drive 35 minutes and pay the same ticket prices at Regal. The cement floor is cracked with puddles of water and the seats are just padded chairs, which are uncomfortable. This isnt a real movie theater.

Rude and unprofessional. Started the movie an hour late and then cut it off early and refused to let us finish it because we "only missed a little on the end". Also very overpriced for a tiny screen in what appears to be a basement with extremely uncomfortable seats. I was also harassed by another man there and told the manager who did nothing.

Jacob Johnson guitarist, singer, songwriter was so entertaining! He is extremely talented, a must see! Loved his sense of humor as well. We purchased his CD, "One Take Jake", love it and the quality is great! We look forward to seeing him in concert again! The Strand Theater is a local gem! Its one more reason we love Waynesville!

Amazing venue with first run movies and frequent live concerts in an intimate theatre, making every ticket a VIP experience. Wonderful selection of wine and craft beers, locally sourced sodas and ice cream, and delicious coffee drinks. Make sure to check out their website for upcoming musical events.

Really enjoyed the show (Travis Ledoyt). The theatre is cozy and the staff is friendly and very accommodating. The desserts were delicious and with lots of drink options, there was something for everyone. Overall, it was a great experience and we will definitely be going back.

Love coming here! The free kids movie on Saturday mornings is awesome, especially for younger children you dont want to waste ticket money on. They have an awesome selection of snacks, and stay up to date on new release movies. The live music they offer is incredible as well!

Very cool venue, single theatre. Great concessions and lounge area. Seating for the theatre could use work, chairs were traditional "stack and lock" style. Not bad, but not good for a 90+ minute movie. Would go again.

The prices are high considering they only have one tiny theater. The seats are regular padded folding chairs. The old building is cool though. Snacks and drinks are also pricey. But its the only local theater so...

The phone line keeps hanging up on me without giving information about ticket pricing and the web site doesnt list the movies playing or ticket pricing. Makes it tough to plan an outing.

Killer smal venue with nice sound and acoustics. Would recommend going. We saw a live Bluegrass show and it was outstanding. It was also Rhonda Vincent and her band. Awesome show!

We have been many times (both first-run and second-run movies, free childrens movies and live music) and enjoy it each time. Its small, its close to home and we love it!

Brand new digital projector, a great price for first run movies. Locally made ice cream and soda. You can come for a movie, or just sit and have an ice cream.

Best little theater ever, so clean and they show quality movies, new and old. And the free Saturday morning cartoon are such an amazing idea!

I wouldnt go here again. They have NO policy against hammered patrons who are disrupting everyone around them. Go the Quin Theater instead.
