(14 votes) "It was the most fun I've had in the 30 years since I LAST went to a drive in!" 5 -- dixiejet "Great fun for the family, but the cokes were flat and the bathroom line is too long!" 5 -- Luke Tuttle "I am a black woman, who wanted to enjoy a drive-in movie like the white people, and every other race there, but instead I was so uncomfortable, I felt like the first black person to walk on earth." 1 -- T Lewis "I LOVE THIS DRIVE IN!!!" 5 -- Beth Broughton "Glad to see that there is one drive-in still open so our kids can enjoy what we did when we were kids, this is just great and the movies and prices are great. Way to go Bright Leaf, keep it up and don't ever close it down" 5 -- Ann "I've always loved the Drive-In....sitting in the back of your truck with a blanket and the stars. Has a great affordable price ~ the only thing I would suggest to the owners is updating (when affordable) the grill to where they could get people in and out more quickly and the restrooms as well...The wait is what gets to people ~ it's sad to say....But, it's a Rush! Rush! world and most people do not have patience LOL!!! But, overall great fun for the whole family or just you and your sweetie. LOL!!" 4 -- Kim "I have been there 2-3 times and really enjoyed it, My grand-daughter came with us once and she thought was something to see a movie seating in the car .Thank-you for a real good time." 5 -- Mary Terry "Great experience, but the bathrooms need to be upgraded badly." 5 -- "The man" "I used to watch that drive-in from my grandparents' cow pasture there in Toast!...I hope you guys keep it open for a long long time!...I love it there! We need good wholesome places like this around!...God Bless !" 5 -- Brian Smith "You can not find places like this where we are from in South Florida. The setting was classic and everything you love about a drive-in including all the food, hot dogs and snow cones!!!" 5 -- The Jones Family "Have been coming here since I moved to Winston 10 years ago, love it. Only place around where I can bring my dog with me to the movies. She loves the hot dogs, not so much the pizza." 4 -- dawi and onion "AGAIN, A W E S O M E !! I AM FROM RALEIGH, AND WOULD ALMOST RELOCATE TO MT. AIRY JUST TO BE NEAR YOUR DRIVE IN !!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)" 5 -- Susan McCreary "Tim and I grew up in this area and remember going to the drive-in as children. It is delightful to be able to share the experience again. Hope the drive-in is open for years to come!" 4 -- Tim and Donna Collins |
