This place does not open at 7pm as indicated on the website, it opens at 7:30pm. It’s got that old time charm to it and nothing is too terrible fancy. Just the necessary things you need: a big screen and a diner that has checkered flooring. The diner is reasonable priced, you can get a burger for $4 and a large drink for $3.

Great place for watching movies. Really enjoy yourself in your own vehicle control your own climate and privacy. They always have good movies showing. The first film starts after the sun goes down. Bring blankets and cuddle up.Make sure your radio is good cause they do use your radio to transmit the audio of the movies.

One of the workers got mad at us when we drove in because we didnt get there early enough, even though we got there 25 min before the gates closed because he wanted to start the movie early. He also got mad when we didnt turn our lights off fast enough before we had even put the car in park. Then he also made our friends move to the back because their brake lights wouldnt turn off fast enough. not good customer service, do not recommend. (dont talk to the white man with the long beard)

So I live in Minnesota, never been here but I purchased a 1958 Edsel Pacer from Iowa. I recently opened the glove box and this was in there.I was Just wondering if this is the same place this menu came from?

Have been going to the drive in since I was a child. Have loved it ever since. The quality is amazing, the snacks are tasty.

The environment was nice and quiet, the 1 screen I viewed needs to be repaired, I was constantly distracted by the vertical lines on the screen any time the scene was bright.

We went tonight (Saturday) and saw the double feature. The experience was great. There was a bit of a line getting, and one poor guy trying to handle us all. He did fantastic and let us know about their no lights policies. The sound quality was great, and we could easily see the screen. They have bathrooms and a snack bar on sight as well. This was my daughters first drive-in experience and she says she likes it more than the regular theater. I also love that they let their viewers know if theyre having battery issues, theyll give a battery jump. That is awesome. This was a great night! We would definitely recommend, and will be back in the future.

Cant beat the price!Screen quality is OK, FM on my car has some hiss noise. Good thing car next to me brought a boombox.Snacks is surprisingly good and cheap too.Person behind me smokes a lot. Just because its open doesnt mean anyones getting second hand smoke. Place should be smoke free.Will visit again.

Love going to the drive-in movies!!! Something I can do with my Grandkids that is affordable!! Great memories from when I was a kid and now sharing that with my loved ones as an adult, what could be better than that!!!

Its fun to go to any drive in, but the projection could be better. Its cozy and the owner was very friendly and helpful. I recommend parking close to the screen. Overall it was enjoyable.

Review №26

My wife and I went this past Friday(4/5/19) to screen 1. And although the movie was good, the screen/projector quality was so poor that we decided to leave before the second movie started. We looked at the other screen(2) that was playing, and even though we were pretty far away, we could see it very clearly. We wound up being extremely disappointed, and felt like we had wasted our money. I really hope they fix the screens quality, because we love going to the drive in. Its always so much fun, and a really good price for 2 movies! I would recommend going, even though our most recent experience wasnt the best..

Only drive in in town; I never want to see them go out of business. Yet, lack of great funding is a bit apparent in the concession building

Review №28

We enjoyed my first and second drive-in movie theater experience at Town & Country. We were excited to see two movies and when we realized the concession stand prices are lower than most other theatres it was even better. It gave us that back in the day wholesome family feeling. Some families didnt stay in their vehicles they tailgated with chairs and what sounded like stereo speakers for everyone. I noticed some leave after only watching the first movie but the admission price includes two current box office movies on the same screen. I highly recommend enjoying this yesteryear experience in modern times.

Review №31

This place is a great value. We went with our kid who is still a little too young for a traditional movie theater. The sound plays over your car radio and the movies were both pretty current. It seemed like a lot of families were there. The concession stand is reasonably priced as well. Most people sit in their cars but I saw a few in the back of pickups or on lawn chairs. Go! Its fun.

I absolutely love this place, the only thing I wish they had are screens that we didnt have to face the street lights because the light bothers you when you are watching a movie on two screens.

Review №41

Town & Country is the only place my family goes to the movies anymore. Its $8.00 for each adult, $4 for kids 12 and under, and babies to 2 are free I think. You get two watch two movies in the quiet of your car and enjoy the freedom that goes along with that. Oh and theyre concession stand always has great food! Plus they are open all year, not just Spring and Summer like I assumed a couple years ago.

Great place to bring the children! This place has not changed a bit since I was a teen. Although they could update the bathrooms and interior, the staff is incredible and the menu is far less cheaper. Food was delicious compared to the standard movie theater. They also offer dippin dots which are my families favorite!! Were a family of 6 and we paid under $50 for us which included the snacks we purchased. Cant wait to come again!

Two movies for the price of one. How can you say no? The food is also very reasonably priced. Not to mention the owner is a genuinely nice guy. Have been many time and will be back many times in the future.

I love drive in theatres and wish more places would keep with the tradition as well as Texas seams to. When I was a kid they tore down the drive in in my home town of Lebanon Oregon to make way for a new super Walmart. For that reason and others I have been successfully boycotting Walmart since 2005. It was a very special day at the drive in yesterday because my children were able to experience it for the first time. Thank you all for that!

This place is a hidden gem! There are hardly any drive in movies left in America and this is a still operating beauty! I often visit this awesome place with my family. I encourage anyone who visits abilene or this part of TX to come and take the time to sit, relax and enjoy a movie or two at this drive in movie theatere.

Let play dead pool with a kids movie and you better not switch screens because all that little guy does is watch you. Maybe he should watch the concessions stand...popcorn so old you cant even smell when it was cooked. Threw the cotton candy away. Sucks that they are running it into the ground.

Went tonight and it was infested with mosquitos. There was quite a bit of rain recently and a lot of standing water which is uncontrollable, but it would be great if they treated the area prior. The popcorn was cold and stale. Otherwise, if you stay in the car, it was okay.

This is my favorite place to take my son. We love our Mommy and Son dates at the drive-in! Not only is it a great deal but food and drinks are also cheaper than other movie theaters. I love being able to watch TWO movies with my son in the comfort of my own car. Even better, I dont have to worry about him being too loud or disturbing other viewers!

It was neat to experience a drive in theater. Screen seemed kinda dim but the movie was watchable. Audio plays via FM radio and audio was surprisingly good. My biggest complaint was with the people in front of me constantly turning their headlights on and off, and that made it very difficult to see the screen. Inconsiderate jerk. Cant blame the establishment for that, isnt their fault. Will probably give it another shot.

I liked it i saw mile 22 and i dont know if it was the movie orif something else was the matter but it seemed a little bit dark on the screen #2 i just watched the one movie. But i did order food at concession its not home made thats for sure its just microwave food so that was a little bit of a let down but i enjoyed the movie and had great view from second row although i could not drive up on the ramp of dirt bc a large commercial van was parked on first row and if i moved up the dirt ramp the van would have taken up some of the screen

Review №79

When we moved here 12 years ago this place was awesome. What a deal you got with contests to win free tickets and two movies for only $5. and very good affordable food. NOT ANYMORE...they are ridiculously priced and not family friendly. Instead of adding crappy smaller screens...they should maintain their old ones. Unless you like watching a screen with thousands of vertical lines and dust all over!! A nice paint job would do wonders. We watched a double feature for my kids on the ridiculously small and stupidly placed extra screen...meanwhile the kids could see around the screen...50 shades of Gray...and some other adult type movie if they looked behind us. Why cant anything stay wonderful?

Review №83

This is a great drive-in. You would expect, now-a-days, to go to a drive-in theater and hear nothing but loud music, screaming teenagers, etc. I have never had this experience at this drive in.The parking lot is huge (unpaved; park in the grass), people seem to always line up in drivable rows, everyone has always been polite and turned lights off. It is just a nice place.As far as technicality: The audio comes through your radio; stereo sound, so it is nice to listen to. The screen is enormous, and ran off of a good old-fashioned 35mm projector. The projectionist obviously has some attention to detail, as I have never seen a ridiculously beat-up print run on the screen.The prices are very good, the service is nice.They could update their bathrooms a little bit, but you cant win them all, can you?Go here for a good movie!
