You can also use your vehicle's radio, but beware of draining your battery. You can watch the movie from inside your vehicle comma or bring a blanket to watch from outside. Some people get creative and watch from the beds of their trucks, a van seat on the grass, etc. Before the movies begin, kids usually play together in the big grassy area in front of the screen -- where it's too close to park and see the movies. The whole place is kept very clean, and the snack bar is filled with all the "tterrific but horrible" movie theater offerings you would expect, including nachos, burgers, ice cream, and (of course) candy, pop, and popcorn! But, these prices are much more realistic and reasonable than at the walk in theaters. The staff is wonderfully friendly, and there have always been two working pinball machines when we visit! The audio and visual quality of the movies is always terrific. You'll also get to see some nostalgic advertising - like the countdown in between the movies, which I'm guessing is actually from the era it depicts. (If not, it does a great job at making it seem that way to a modern audience.)

I love the nostalgia of a drive-in flick. I drove an hour frm West Mifflin, PA to experience said…read morenostalgia for a first-run movie: Top Gun: Maverick. First, be warned they accept cash only for everything -- admission and food. I was glad i saw the info posted before going. There are 3 screens, 2 movies each ne after the other, all first-runs, and one common concession stand and restrooms. The restroom was clean and there were toilet paper and paper towels before the movie began (and no line on a Friday night). There was a line for the concessions but it moved along. My complaint of the evening?? How hard is it to pop fresh popcorn?? That IS a prime staple if going to any movie. It was soooOoooOo stale. Though they gathered from the usual popcorn case, there was no popping in evidence, but rather huge bags of it in the corner. Very sad (a movie-going crime) and why i gave 4 vs 5 stars. Pricing was to be expected -- 14 bucks for a hotdog, large fountain soda, and medium popcorn. Parking was easy,viewing was good. Sound was on a particular FM station they let you know via a flyer they give when you arrive and pay. Price is per person (i paid 9 dollars for adult price). Exiting was easy. The drive home was torrential downpours and scary but not affecting this review or movie-going experience!

I'm out $40 bucks and disgusted. Did I mention the 8 young men in the concession stand patting themselves on the back for how well they did on the BURNT 8 inch pizza they handed over to some sucker that paid $15 for it! Or the one cussing because he burned a funnel cake and had to start over? I'm hungry. I'm pissed. And I should have insisted on stopping at Sheetz for a hoagie that would have been made to order and affordable. Don't let drive in "nostalgia" get the better of you here. This place is nothing short of NASTY and over priced. To make things worse, the Golf Cart Gestapo decided my little Ford EcoSport was a full blown SUV, not the car the State calls it when I register it or the insurance company insured it as, or the dealership sold it to me as, and we were ORDERED to park in the BACK ROW with the oversized and full sized TRUCKS! The place wasn't even close to being full except for the big trucks in the last row that could all see over the broken down shed in the middle of the lot, which we needed to move twice to see over. I'll give it to the owner for giving my $20 admission fee back despite the Gestapo input. The $40 I lost on that disgusting crap they called food couldn't be recouped, but I can report them to the health department for what that concession stand was serving and how they were putting it together! To think, I was a huge supporter when this place was begging for help to stay open. So much for nostalgia. Especially when the price for a seat at the luxury cinema costs the same as here, (a perk of being a Senior Citizen), and you don't get accosted for sitting where you can SEE the movie, even if it's only one and not a double feature. I won't say don't waste your time, because I still love the drive in movie experience, I just won't be having that experience at Brownsville Drive In ever again. As for the Golf Cart Gestapo, your face was priceless when I got my money back, despite your racing down to talk to the owner before I could, and despite the "No Refund" sign in the window, and despite you barking I was getting nothing but kicked out. EDIT...By their own website photos, Actual SUVs are parked throughout the lot and NOT in the back row. Sad. All I wanted was a nice night out. Beware the Golf Cart Gestapo. What I failed to mention earlier was the number of times I said "We're moving, leave us alone. Shut up, leave us alone, we're moving". What a horrible experience!

Compared to that drive in, I definitely prefer this one! As much as I love it here, there are pros and cons, and lately the cons outweigh the pros. Some of the things I love about this place are not only the nostalgia, but the incredible menu they have at their concession stand! Some of the menu items include pizza, burgers, pretzels, nachos, ice cream, popcorn, hot dogs, candy, slushees, and so much more! I love the food here, and I never have a problem spending my money to help support a small business, however, we spent over $50 just on food here, and to me that is a bit expensive. My date and I went recently to watch the new Elvis movie and the new Ethan Hawk movie called "The Black Phone". The gates during the summer on Friday's and Saturday's open at 7:15, and since the first movie doesn't start until sundown, we decided to arrive around 8. When we arrived, we spent about 20 minutes waiting in line, which was to be expected. The line for the concession stand was out the door, which was also to be expected. Going to events like these, I tend to be more patient. I know most of the staff is young kids in high school working their summer jobs, so I do tend to be easier on getting angry over things that would upset most people. That being said, I think it would be great if the owners put in a bigger kitchen, because we got in line at 8:20 and as we were opening the door to our truck, after waiting in line for about an hour, we almost missed the beginning of our movie as it was just staring. The kitchen seems to be very inefficient, and a resolution to that problem would definitely be to get another one of those pizza ovens they have. So many people wanted pizza, including me, and they could only do one at a time. The staff got orders mixed up too, other people complained that they waited for over and hour for pizza, and that other customers were getting their pizza orders before people who were waiting a good while. The thing that made the experience very unenjoyable was everyone's lack of respect for the rules. I love coming here, and I have been for quite a few years now, but after last night I'm just not sure I want to anymore. The website for this drive in has a TON of rules, rules that I totally respect. Rules that honestly make a lot of sense to have! It's a shame that I was one of the very few people to follow them. At least a dozen times during the movie, my date and I were blinded by other drivers bright lights. Movies on other screens would end, and many people would leave, and turn their bright high beams on, totally blinding anyone in their path. This distracted me from watching the films I came to watch. There are many mentions on the website about being courteous to other patrons, by not putting on your lights during movies, and to not leave in the middle of the movie. So many people disobeyed this rule. At a certain point it definitely made me angry to keep putting my arm up to block the bright lights. What made me angrier, was that not one staff member even tried enforcing their rules. In fact, the staff made many disturbances too. Many times a group of staff members would ride their golf carts back and forth to the dumpster to dump trash, only to be loud and carrying on and laughing while I'm trying to watch the movie. So disappointed in how this drive in operates. It's definitely becoming less of a place for couples to go watch films together. I guess I'm just let down by the fact that they have so many rules, rules that could end with banning, no refunds, and even police involvement, and yet not one staff member is telling any disrespectful patron to turn their lights off or telling staff to keep it down. I doubt I'm be coming back here for a while if I'm being truthful, all of what happened just really put a damper on the mood with my date last night, and that was very upsetting to me.
