The Last Drive-In Picture Show — Local services in Gatesville

Love it! This has become our favorite, new 'date night' venue. Friendly and courteous staff, and very inexpensive. I understand how the economy works and I know that prices are constantly going up because businesses are trying to stay alive, but I truly appreciate it when small businesses like this find a way to survive without gouging people- they are the ones who will continue to get my business (and referrals) every time!

As far as the bathrooms go, the person who called them "nasty" must not have spent any time outdoors, ever. Yes, the place is a little old but it's really no worse than half of the park or lake restrooms I've encountered. We are in Texas, out in the country. It's an outdoor restroom. You aren't spending the whole evening in there.

And as far as the popcorn not having any flavor, I'm not quite sure what that reviewer really expects. At $3.00 for a huge bucket, same size that would run you about $6.00+ at a regular theater, we were perfectly satisfied. My husband goes to the movies ALL the time, at theaters all over the U.S., and he didn't have any complaints. They will add butter, if you like, and they have popcorn salt on the counter. And if it still "doesn't have any flavor", you can bring your own food!

We try to help support this business by spending a few bucks on popcorn and drinks, but we also appreciate that we can bring our little grill and enjoy a hot dog or some s'mores on the tailgate of our truck.

So, as with any review, our opinions differ from those in other reviews. And that's why I always advise taking the few, petty complaints with a grain of salt and checking out the place for yourself. At $10 for a double feature, what do you really...

I have been coming here since I was a child, around 25 years now and I used to love it! It's been about 5 years now since the last time I have gone and my boyfriend had never been to any drive-in theater so we figured we'd have a nice family trip. For starters, the price for the drive-in is not advertised anywhere, online or at the gate. We went out and bought hot dogs, sausages, buns and all the fixings and brought our little grill. As soon as we got the grill lit we were told that we could not grill because it was to close to the movie time, this was at 8:30 and they did not start the movie until 9:20! So now we had to buy food from the concession stand. No problem. After waiting in line for over 10 minutes we ordered and were then informed they only accept cash. There were absolutely no signs that stated "cash only". The lady then said that they have signs stating that they have an ATM. Still this does not imply that they only take cash. We then asked where the ATM was and she stated that we have to walk outside the concession area around the building and go in the front door to access it. Once we had the cash we ordered our food and they said that the pizza would be done in 15 minutes. We asked if they called or anything when it was ready and they said no that we just have to come back up there... 30 minutes later the pizza was finally finished. This was all just a mess. NOTHING like I remembered. They really need to have rules or policies posted either at the facility or online, somewhere. Needless to say, my boyfriend is now not a fan of...

Run down, over grown with weeds by the bathrooms . Ugly . Feels like you are parked in a trashy run down abandoned parking lot . Obstructed views .Oh my goodness ! Stay at home and get a pizza from CiCis. Candy selection is scarce. There are these 2 small long buildings right in the center front of the screen that need to be moved . Dumbest ideal to put them right there. With a little tlc,this place would be so cool. The owners dont know what they could have. That long building with the projector needs to be cleaned and weeded around and shortened. Or Hint - tear it down ! Everything here is off. A diamond in the rough. $10 dollars for 2 movies is ok but really,no ones sitting through 2. And you dont have the choice to say I only want 1 . My kids wanted to leave time we got there because it didnt look safe at all but we endured. Turned out to be a goodish experience every kid should have at least once. Just find a better one to go to. .So bring your off mosquito spray because mosquitos are living large with these overgrown weeds right by the car. Help in the front are ok. They donot take debit cards. Only cash or venmo. The atm machine in their office is very hard to see and use. Be prepared to pony up $2.50 to get your cash out . Bring your own food and drinks...and sence of humor and you'll...
