All the movie theaters at the South Bay AMC are dine-in. You go to the concession station and order your food. Make sure to show your ticket stub to the person on the register so they can bring your food to you. Food like popcorn, soda, candy, and hotdogs can be taken with you. Take this information from a person who goes there every week.
Yes you can dine-in when you purchase the food right there
Yes you can take the food that you purchased from their diner and counters into theater. Not outside food nor do they offer seat ordering service
It depends on your definition of "Dine in". I usually go to the AMC "Dine In" theater in Fullerton. At that location, servers actually come to your seat and take your order. I was at the South Bay AMC last weekend and was surprised to find out that no theater at that location offered that service. We were told we had to get all food and drink from the concession stand. I can verify that the seats in the theater were the same with the fold out tables and reclining features. As for the movie viewing experience, minus the at seat service, was comparable to Fullerton.
