This is one of my favourite things to do while in this area! And what a value for A-list films! There are not many of these left and this one is an AUTHENTIC restoration. Coming here feels like a time warp to a simpler time and truely historical “American” experience (especially while visiting the snack bar, which feels like a time warp to the 70’s). Screen and projector quality are good. Spaces for the vehicles are large and there is a grassy area directly in front of the screens. Sound is through an on-site radio channel broadcast and the cinema rents small boom boxes for $5. Bring lawn chairs and sit outside or turn your car around and lay in the back/bed. Bring mosquito repellent. There is a small fee of $5 per car for those bringing their own drinks/snacks (respect this as this business is not getting rich with their prices and it’s really not that much). Please, please be conscious of your car’s headlights and try not to ruin the experience for everyone by sitting in your car while it’s running with automatic headlights engaged. Don’t litter and respect your neighbours.

I went there for a cute flea market on a Saturday morning. So much Nostalgia. The actual drive-in looked awesome. They had a snack bar that was Ok. I'll definitely visit again.

Not many of these places are left in America, so soak it up while you can. This place is great and worth going, especially with the family. Concessions are a staple and if you like good old fashion junk food then this is the place for you. If you do deside to go to the drive-in leave time to get in. I'd suggest getting there 45 min.- 1hr ahead of time. Enjoy! .

They need to do a better job at maintaining the height of tailgates. Some drive ins only allow you to have them the same height as the roof of your car, so it doesn't interfere with other guest. Also have large pickups park in the back row so those in sedans can get there at a reasonable time to get a good spot to watch the movie, only to have them park in front of you and can't see the screen.

Why is there a $5 charge to bring food in..I'm sure very good..but..I can't eat the type of food you serve

Most drive ins rarely break even on the ticket prices, they make the vast majority of their profits on concessions. That includes the older movies now being shown. If you want to see drive in theaters survive, don't hesitate on trips to the concession stand.. they live and die by them.
