Overall movie experience was decent, but the concessions closed an hour into the first feature. When approaching the concession area, we were met with rude workers that let us in just to give us strange looks until finally telling us in a rude tone that they were closing. You could cut the tension with a knife. Very strange behavior indeed.

Love this place. Always a quality movie to see. Food selection is appropriate for all at normal prices.

This is a pretty standard drive in. The main detractor was the sound. Our van couldn't really pick up their radio station. Luckily others around us had their volume lot enough for us to hear. Bathrooms weren't too great either. The sink looked like something out of a horror movie.

That old fashion feel of pulling into the gravel road and picking a spot of dirt to prop your car to watch a movie on the big screen is something lost in our world of technology and convenience. Even if it's cheaper else where it's an experience slowly being lost, even if it's once it's something to try, and maybe you and your honey might enjoy it. Bring your trucks, vans, even those two door coupes that sag a little, they all fit here. Get some popcorn, maybe a float, nachos and good old fashion corn dog. Watch two movies on one ticket, or leave if you like after the first one. I warn those shy of public bathrooms, it isn't the prettiest, but it isn't the worst.

Is there a place on their website to find out what is playing after the current movies ?

You may be able to check that on face book. Sometimes they list out pretty well on there. Ive actually found it to be a little bit more informative.

I've been going to MELS for years and I've never heard of anyone purchasing in advance. Their website lists it as first Come first serve. We always arrive a good 30 minutes before the gates open.
