What a cool spot!! I took my son on a rainy weekday night and we were one of two cars there, we had the whole place to ourselves and you'd never know it because the staff was still on their A game and very professional and courteous. Our battery died but they have someone on staff that will give you a jump whenever you need it. Very cool little jem. I'll definitely be returning when I'm back in the area.

Cant beat $6 for a double feature in the comfort of your own car or truck bed or lawn chair with a comfortable blanket. And a concession stand that doesn't cost twice as much as the ticket itself. There is even a large pizza drawing in between the features with some retro intermission. Can't believe it took me years of living practically next door to finally come enjoy this drive in!!

Picture was in focus, color wasn't shifted (looking at you, Route 56 drive in, and your totally unexplained, mysterious, and completely unacceptable pink shift), snack bar was reasonable both in selection and price, attendants were professional and courteous as well as very attentive. On the other hand, the popcorn was disappointing and the butter was off. I wouldn't call it rancid, but it was somehow sour. Like they'd melted some butter, mixed in some butter-flavored oil (what most movie theaters call butter or buttery topping) and then added some vinegar to extend shelf life. It was so disconcerting and at times unpleasant it really detracted from the visit. Bathroom was easily accessible, clean, and functional. Recommended, and at the 2018 $8 ticket price for 2 movies a major bargain compared to the ticket price at the local cinemas for just 1 movie. Make sure you arrive an hour early for the Friday and Saturday showings, especially for new and/or popular movies if you want a good view.

What can I say about this little drive-in that hasn't already been said? I love this place. It small and gets the newest box office hits. They have a new NO OUTSIDE FOOD POLICY. You can purchase the permit to bring in outside food for $5 and they give you a coupon for a free 130oz popcorn. Food is the only way a place like this is able to turn even a small profit, so let's be courteous and obey thier rules.

We have been here so many times. Just a good time with the family. But the last time we went we were caught off guard by their new policy ... That if you bring food in you have to pay a "outside food permit fee". Which they make you pay $5 and give you a coupon for a $5 popcorn at the concession stand. We have always brought food in for the one in our family that has food allergies and another that has diabetes and we have always spent a good amount on food at their concession stand. If they have this, maybe they should have the $5 go to whatever in the concession stand. Cause not everyone can have or likes popcorn.
