First time there this past weekend and I was definitely worth the drive from Grand Rapids area about 2hrs. Food was good and really friendly staff.Quick tip/ Please tell your teen/college kids that they need to put their phone away when they are talking to people in the popcorn/food court. That would make a huge difference and customer service experience to all of us. Other than that it was a 4 star...

Great drive in theater and so glad its still operating. Came when the gates opened, along with a group of others doing the same thing. Then there was a gap in arrivals until closer to the movie time. Overall had no troubles finding a parking spot, but I did go on Wednesday night

It was a great, nostalgic time out. The burgers and soft pretzels at the concessions were amazing. The one downside was that both movies were so dim it was hard to tell what was going on in the darker scenes at times. This could be the fault of ambient light in the area, and outside the theaters control, but it did detract from full enjoyment of the movie.

This is a wonderful experience to have. I remember going to the drive in as a child and still enjoy it now that Im grown. I think its a good outing for the family to enjoy that is relatively affordable. I love the fact you can bring in snacks or you can visit the concession stand. If you havent been put it on your to do list.

First time here and loved it. I would definitely recommend coming here. Very friendly staff all the way around. Very clean. Saw the new jungle book and back to the future. Love that theyre showing older movies. On another screen that were playing Jurassic park and jaws. Very cool.

Used to love the drive in, but now they are also charging a surcharge per vehicle on top of the charge for individual tickets. The drive in used to be a cheaper alternative to going to theater, but now its more expensive when you add in the surcharge. No thanks, wont be going anymore!I didnt realize that this was temporary due to the covid issue and I do understand the added expense, however, I may be wrong, but im pretty sure the ticket prices when up from last year by a couple dollars per person and the surcharge added, in a time when all people are struggling and many out of work, theaters still closed, not very many forms of entertainment even open, youve made this barely affordable for a large family. I will definitely change my number of stars because I do understand what everyone is going through including businesses and will be back next year, when hopefully the prices have come back down and is more affordable. Other than this issue, love your establishment.

This place is great but I lost some respect for the establishment when they wanted $115 for a ticket. Normal concerts are often cheaper then that let alone a drive in one. The concept is wonderful but overcharging people is not necessary in these times and think you should embrace not becoming a corporate stooge. To reply to this company reply: your staff member told us that $115 was the price for each person so they were either wrong and improperly trained or they are pocketing money. 2nd, the product you sell is entertainment which means you stand behind that product. If you sell a product at your establishment your price or theres you are still selling an over priced product. but thats ok if you do not stand behind your product or service then I will go somewhere else that does in an honest form. dont make excuses.

Claimed to have been social distancing due to Covid but when we went, they packed the place in. I understand youre in a car but they said only 1 car between two poles and it was first come first serve. So we showed up over an hour early as well as a lot of other people to make sure we got a spot and even 5 minutes before the show they were still selling tickets. And we were on the end of our row, and people were making their own parking spots next to us because they were at full capacity and trying to make more money by squeezing people in. Good movies but dont think well be back.

Review №17

Could be better at parking people correctly. Allowed large vehicles to park in front of smaller ones making it hard to see the screen. Bathrooms are dirty. If I didnt like going to the drive in so much and if they had competition, my rating would be lower.

Review №23

About as nostalgic as you can get ;) This Drive-In Theater is one of only a few left in the state (and around the country for that matter). It is a longtime mainstay, and Ive been coming here for over 20yrs, and is always a nice evening out reminiscent of the old days. It doesnt however seem nor appear like the operators of the venue have much interest in injecting any cash into the property for any major improvements, updates or general asthetics, and havent for sum time (or maybe declining revenues and increasing costs make them incapable, given the current ticket prices of $10per person and an additional $5 surcharge per vehicle! Whoa)..... but.....its still a cool, old, functional drive-in, and a quaint place to take a date or the family to chill, eat snacks, and watch a movie.....while being enveloped by that long ago, old fashion vibe,... and also a nice opportunity to support one of your local, rare, small businesses. Check it out for sure! Peace D

I am appalled at how the manager treats the staff, Brandon is not helpful he is extremely snippy. I was up getting my popcorn and I heard him yell to turn off the music that was extremely low he screamed that he was done. If that’s the case he shouldn’t be work there. There is no excuse to be rude to coworkers most establishments allow music. The younger kids are much more helpful and kind to me, I will not be returning and I hope the young kids find better establishments to work at where they are treated with respect.

Review №25

Don’t change! I like it because they haven’t changed anything. It’s like going back in time to the 50’s. (The only thing they no longer have are the old metal speakers you hook to your window. But they even had those up until recently.) The restrooms were clean anytime I’ve gone. I saw a review saying they need to update their sign. Really? What makes it great is that it’s an original. That’s its charm! If you want “updated” go to a indoor IMAX Theatre. Thank you.

This is a great place to take your kids for a nice relaxing movie night. You can catch new movies and movies from the past. FYI some families may want to leave after the first movie depending on your kids they can start to get a little impatient but still a blast

Here watching jurassic park. Got here early like the website said to. Not supposed to have more than 2 cars between poles. 5 minutes before the movie someone squeezes between 2 cars and blocks everyones view. Asked an employee how are they allowed to do that and they basically said it sucks to suck.$25 is too expensive to stare at someones car.

Oh this place, I came here as a kid and just loved it so I brought my kids and they loved it. We love the freedom and the drive-in atmosphere and the food is okay I would like to see a little more selections but still great time. The one thing I would recommend is a barking dog policy maybe a warning then maybe make them move to the back and third time they have to leave. Great place though we come here every year and plan to keep coming out we drive almost an hour away just to come out but we love it. Keep up the great work.

I came to this drive in as a kid, and just took my boyfriend tonight for his first ever drive in movie. Great prices, parking was good. Con-session foods were very nice and reasonably priced. Had a great time over-all. I’m so happy to see that this drive in is still up and running. Such a nostalgic feel. Highly recommend. And I highly suggest supporting this business, as it’s one of the few drive ins left in Michigan.

Went to support the drive in as I have went to it since I was a kid. I get there for the first time this season and surprisingly the ticket cost about 50 percent more than when I was there last year. 15 dollars to watch a movie I saw in 94 or new is definitely a one time thing for me. Probably won’t be back much after this.

It is our family, my daughters tradition to bring her best friend and watch a movie every summer. They love to organize the minivan and put pillows and blankets. They love to buy popcorn and hot dogs and enjoy the movie. The facilities for a family event are OK, not fancy, but decent. We love to be outside watching a movie, and that is why we support our drive in cinema.

Went there last night and they charge a extra $5 per car because of social distancing. Only 1 car is supposed to be parked between the poles yet the cars were parked 2 inside the poles. So why charge us extra? They know how many spots are there and shouldve stopped selling tickets.

Review №67

I flat out refuse to go to movie theaters anymore due to my fear of picking up and bringing home bed bugs. Gross! Given this, I was absolutely thrilled when I found out that we had a good, old fashioned drive-in theater literally 20 minutes away from our house.They do not have the speakers that hang on your car like traditional drive-ins used to. They do; however, have portable radios available so that you dont have to run your car battery down. There is a $20 cash deposit required. If you dont have $20 cash, they will require you to leave your Drivers License and a credit card with them as collateral.There is a pretty good assortment of very reasonably priced snacks available (ex. French fries, chicken strips, hamburgers, giant dill pickles, candy and of course - popcorn.They have plenty of bathrooms.All in all, we had a great experience and well definitely be going back.

A nice alternative to a movie theater! There are a total of three screens with plenty of parking for each. The cost is $9 per adult for a double feature, which is a great deal! The bathrooms were clean and the grounds seemed well kept. The concessions are the reason for not giving 5 stars. All the food had been pre-made and was just sitting in warmers. The popcorn was not even hot and there were piles of dead flies in the drink refrigerator. I would return but not buy from the concessions again.

Review №76

Loved it!! I have zero complaints. The freedom to do things you cant in a normal theater is what I feel was the most fun. I absolutely loved the little imperfections. I feel very sad for people that dont appreciate the atmosphere of this place. The person complaining about people smoking cigarettes is ridiculous. I doubt highly a security guard is going to tell someone no smoking cigarettes in their own vehicle. You cant ding a business for that. People can do what they want in their own car if its legal and smoking is not illegal. I suggest never leaving your house if issues like that bother you!

So many good memories here while growing up. I have been taking my daughter and her friends recently and we always have a great time. They also have reasonable ticket prices. Lots of options at the concession stand; from food and drinks to radios and bugspray. I do wish some of the food was a little better though.

My family and I are always excited to be at the Drive In! We look forward to it every year. You can borrow radios so you dont have to use the cars battery. And always a trip to the concession stand for something- most helpful for cold starts and ends...the hot chocolate! So glad we still have US 23 Drive In Theater!!
