"Im not giving you anything free!" The experience I had tonight at a cinema that Ive frequented several dozen times in my lifetime and over the span of many years has terminated my once loving relationship with it in just short 10 minutes. Id loved this quaint, space and adored its uniqueness so much so that Id even stop in, if in the area, to purchase one of my favorite snacks. Chicken Tenders. Ive been coming here so long that I can tell you that originally, it was served with original potato chips and now waffle fries. Last time I was there, only after arriving home, I noticed that someone was overzealous in making sure that they were cooked all the way through. In fact, they were terribly burnt. Of course I called and when I received no response, I simply left a message on an answering machine. The call was returned a couple weeks later and coupled with an apology and a promise to replace my meal. Tonight, I saw my beloved "Fences" was playing, the plan was to get a bite to eat, purchase 4 tickets and come back for the show. When I asked for a manager for my replacement meal, I was made to wait while some calls were placed to the other 3 members of the management team. After 10 minutes or so, Nick the manager on duty, came out and said that nobody knew of the situation. Of course, I contested this. After all, how many people just come in and purchase chicken tenders?! But when he told me, in front of several people that " Im not giving you anything free" I lost all respect for this establishment. I am a regular, and even if I werent, to try to shame me into leaving by making such a disrespectful comment out loud is in a league of its own in terms of non existent professionalism and customer service. I even asked for the General Managers contact information and that request was meant with a prompt refusal. I am truly saddened by the way that this was handled,Rosebud Theater, and very disappointed. You have certainly lost a regular as well, as a fan who always referred people to your establishment. Perhaps some additional administrative training and focus on conflict resolution for management is in order. I hope that this is the case, and that this negative interaction had nothing to do the fact that today I am not professionally dressed- as I normally am, and that I look today as if life has dealt me many blows. I shall never return. Perception is not reality. Do not attack my character or credibility because of my appearance ever again. You lost 4 tickets sales tonight and my respect. I was raised in a small family owned business, never would we have handled a situation like this. We valued every customer to the fullest. In short, give me what I paid for, I am gainfully employed, I am not asking for anything free. Regards, Tracey D.

Rosebud theater is a great, single-screen movie joint. Currently (Spring, 2014) they offer comfy seating on loveseats (not standard theater seating) which are great for cuddling with your date or lounging. Additionally, you can purchase sandwiches, pizza, appetizers as well as typical movie snacks. They also serve beer, wine, and some liquor. Prices are reasonable for food, drinks, and tickets. The screen and sound are great and Im 100% for supporting this local theater. Be prepared to find your own parking if you come, theres adequate nearby street parking so its usually not a problem.

If you at all "into" a nostalgic, neighborhood movie experience, the RoseBud Theater is absolutely a fun & enjoyable experience - 1st run Movies, Beer, Wine gret popcorn and a good selection of snacks and food. I am almost reluctant to recommend for fear that this charming, "best keep secret" in entertainment "gets out"

Squashy sofas, pitchers of beer, watching movies. The only bad part? Having to leave your squashy sofas in the middle of the movie to visit the restroom because of the pitcher of beer. I havent had the food yet, we usually go to Bel Air right next door for food first.

A fun single screen theatre to catch a show. Prices are a bit less than the large multiplexes in the area. Comfy loveseats, beer, wine & cocktails all make The Rosebud a truly unique cinema house.

Place is great. Real butter for the popcorn. Couches. They deliver food to you, and the prices are not completely outrageous. (read: its not cheap either) The staff are also really nice.

Only complaint is make it clear to your customers if you order the food at the counter or if a waitress will grab your order at your seat. Your theaters differ by location.

Seating is on loveseats. They have a modest selection of basic foods at a good price. They have fun themed drinks such as the Obi Rum Kenobi with glow lightsaber straw.

Cheap tickets and conformable old couches. Beer is okay as is the food. Dont expect a high end establishment. This is a neighborhood theater at best.

Always love a local business. Quiant single screen theater in the midst of tons of dining locations. Or get dinner (or a drink) during the show!

The movie I saw in Theatre 1, was exceptional. How ever Cinema 1, is out dated & in major need of renovation. Get with it Peninsula Cinemas.

Food, drinks, and a movie. What more could you want? Like the new seating with table arrangement as it is much more efficient to use.

My favorite theater in Milwaukee. Comfy couches, themed cocktails, and local taps. Plus a fun staff full of movie nerds.

Fun spot to watch a movie. The sofas seem a bit old and a sunk in like a college sofa. Sound and video top notch though

Great local theater to catch a movie at one movie at a time. Its just like walking into a giant living room.

Sitting in the back few rows you cant see very well because there is no slant to the floor.

Nice ambiance and comfortable seating, but the concessions line is slower than dripping tar.
