We love the Badin drive in . We arrived early to beat the crowd . Thankfully we found a great spot…read more. The highlight of course is the food ! Though its simple diner / dive bar type of food, everything was yummy. Someone called out so they were short staffed but it was worth the wait . We tried just about everything . Highlight being the wings and corn fritters ! You can't find corn fritters everywhere . We'll definitely revisit this drive in verses the other local drive in . Only complaint being the bathroom . Though they were bearable it could've been a little cleaner .

A $5 movie program they have here where each week they spotlight a movie for limited run with one or two showings, a chance to see a hit movie before it leaves theater. I got lucky ! Great not to have to spend a fortune as you can at the movies. They also give you a coupon when you buy your ticket for a popcorn and drink combo at discount price. Everything is done by self check out for tickets, with a person there to tell you where your theater is. They have a lot of concessions here too. Bathrooms clean, and the theater was pretty empty for my show. They have all the newest movies here and imax available. Lots of parking, and easy to navigate. This was a nice break in my rainy day, I'll be sure to see what's on their Final Cut showings in future.

You can buy your tickets ahead of time online or use the Kiosk inside the main lobby. Concessions is in the main lobby and they have a few registers going at once so there is no long lines usually. You have your normal movie theater choices, nothing out of the ordinary. They do have a few specialty alcoholic drinks available, as well as a frozen Jack & Coke. Everything is a bit pricey. The theater itself was clean and you have assigned seats so no rush. Seats are reclinable and very comfortable. Lightning in the back row was dim and my wife almost ended up landing on her ass trying to find her seat in the dark. Movie quality and sound were great! Definitely will be back but probably eat ahead of time or sneak in some snacks......yes that's a Latino move but it's ok because I'm Latino! Go catch a movie, you won't be disappointed!

Parking nearby in the public lot was convenient as was buying tickets online. $15 total for 3 matinee tickets was affordable in today's economy. Popcorn and drinks were also priced significantly below other larger theaters. I love the character of this theater and the friendly welcoming staff. We will be back soon!
