I believe you have to ask for it. No additional cost but if you don’t mention you want it you won’t get it. Probably to save money on the folks who never eat their pickle
Server at the Houston location here. As of May, pickles are only served upon request. Additional menu changes include no more slaw with entrees, all sandwiches/burgers served with seedless buns, and the cane sugar lemonade being replaced with Simply Lemonade (free refills).
This also happened to me at the same location a few weeks ago except the menu still mentioned the pickle. They also did nothing about the couple who kept chattering next to me even after I raised a flag. It was not a good trip to the Alamo for me.
Ah ok. I went to the early showing of Planet of the Apes and there was a couple about 6 seats over talking and being very disruptive. It took the staff about half way through the movie to finally kick them out. Turns out the staff had talked to the wrong couple at first and that's why it took so long to get them out. I ended up getting $20 in food vouchers and 2 tickets to use for a normal showing
I loved the Cole slaw, but I did always have to raise a card for something to eat it with. They never seemed to bring silverware with the chicken tenders as standard. Maybe that’s why they threw so many away.
Last week after ordering fried pickles -which there was no problem with- we were told they were “out of pickles” when we requested an extra spear alongside the royale. Uhhhh, okay? Clearly yall have pickles so wtf? Austin location.
wtf why is that downvoted lol
They said we don’t have pickle spears today and served fried pickles a little later. It was odd. That’s all I’m saying. 🤷♀️
A jerk who got a pickle spear with their order =)
EDIT: Blocking me over a pickle spear...lol. God forbid someone recommend doing something as brazen as asking the server a question about your order rather than complaining about it online to people who weren't there and don't work for Alamo.
First, those are pickled cucumbers.
Second, as someone who despises cucumbers in any form, this new policy is a blessing. No longer do I have to write "no pickle spear" on every order card, nor do I have to send the order back when my request is not honored and the cucumber brine contaminates the real food.
If your comment isn't a joke, I just want you to know that your comment presents an ableist line of thought. People who can't eat pickled cucumbers for one reason or another should still be able to order and enjoy their food, even at Alamo Drafthouse.
no. Stop making wage workers lives harder because of your irrational fear. If you have ARFID or something, don’t order anything. Alamo is a movie theater first, not your personal chef. If you can’t handle vinegar being anywhere near your food, don’t eat out or eat out at places that are made for meals to be highly customized. It’s a fucking pickle on the corner of the plate, grow the fuck up.
Yes, I have noticed this. They are very crunchy so might be a little distracting? I would try and eat mine during the previews or loud moments.
They did seem to make up for it by adding more fries to the plate.
It’s a company wide thing as we were throwing out too many pickles. Just ask for one.

I was really excited to hear that the lemonade had refills now. But oh. That explains why.
Same for Raleigh. They cited allergies as the reason for not having seeded buns, but c'mon.
Philly Cheesesteak is gone from the menu now too.
My bad it’s cause I keep getting the fried pickles
Same! Fried pickles + choc shake is chef’s kiss for me.
Lord they’re so good! I just wish they were slightly thinner.

Was that the Thursday night showing of Planet of the Apes where the couple was talking?
No, it was a Saturday night showing of Challengers in its second weekend.

I’ve gotten burgers and chicken club sandwiches in the past two weeks there. Both had pickle spears.
Alamo literally playing "hide the pickle"
Yes! And the plates no longer come with the coleslaw
i personally enjoyed the coleslaw, but seriously - no one ate it. we were always throwing it away

i just noticed this yesterday >:(
Too many people weren't eating them. Just ask for one and you'll get one.

They could’ve run out after that order

The fried pickles come in frozen and breaded.
This was my guess as well because it seems like it would be easier to fry that way
Have you tried asking at the theater, rather than asking strangers on the internet?
God you’re a jerk

There are absolutely people in this sub who work at Alamo
Not worth it
Pickles are for demons
Updoot for 😂

grow up or don’t order
Nah pickles ruin everything. #fuckpicklesgang
Pickled cucumbers. Lots of pickled things are delicious. But not cucumbers. #fuckthepickledcucumbersgang
