(17 votes) "I love going to your drive-in! It is so much fun and we can bring our kids. They have fun too." 5 -- Kelley Bosley "Great drive-in. Good picture, excellent sound. No better place to be on a weekend night with the family." 5 -- Rachel Kisner "THE SOUND COMES THROUGH YOUR RADIO SO YOU CAN LISTEN AS LOUD AS YOU LIKE WITH YOUR WINDOW UP OR DOWN. THE FOOD IS GOOD, THE LINE IS LONG SO YOU HAVE TO GET THERE EARLY TO GET FOOD AND A GOOD SPOT TO PARK. LOTS OF PEOPLE COME FROM DIFFERENT TOWNS AND DIFFERENT STATES TO THIS DRIVE-IN SO IT GETS PACKED ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE SHOWING A CHILDRENS MOVIE." 5 -- Amy H. "I love the Drive-in. It's soo much more fun than the theatre. Picture and sound is great and there is room where you can sit out and enjoy the movie instead of just sitting in your car. Food is good too!" 5 -- Jen "Warner's is a great place to take the family. We really enjoy it. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK" 5 -- Jason Kyle "Was very crowded for Shrek 3 this past weekend. Did not go, but looking forward to a summer of outdoor fun. Good concession stand, screen could use a new coat of paint, as of last summer (2006)." 5 -- Jack Drago "This is a great place for the family to come to. As a kid we would always enjoy the drive-in on weekends. I am so glad this one continues to be in operation so I can share this experience with my own children today. I just wish they still had double features. Thanks!!" 5 -- Judy Mullens "Last drive-in around. I think they should bring back more. There's nothing better than sitting out under the stars on a warm summer's night watching a movie." 4 -- Terry Borror "It is a bit of nostalgia with modern technology. My children look forward to a night at a flik and soft pretzels and popcorn." 5 -- Cine "It is a bit of a drive to get the drive-in but it is worth it! I am glad to be able to share something with our children that I shared with my parents growing up. The food is really good and the prices are very reasonable. I wish it was double feature though." 5 -- Pam Long "Good fun for the Family when they have family movies on." 4 -- J.D. "You could not find a better way to spend your entertainment money! This is a great way to spend quality time with family and friends. If ever the opportunity presents itself please go see a movie and have a great drive-in meal from the snack bar. This is a super bang-for-the-buck establishment!!!!" 5 -- Michael Arbogast Sr. "Very Family Friendly! Site was clean! Snack Bar AWESOME! Can't wait to return again!" 5 -- Lisa Tate "Great price, and great food, picture seems a little washed out perhaps due to a lot of lights from businesses and residents around the drive-in." 4 -- Jackie "I enjoyed the drive-in. It is such a great place to take your children. I remember going to the drive-in when I was a child. Now that I am older with children of my own I can give them the same experience I had. I just wish they had the old speakers instead of the radio." 4 -- Amy K "My family loves going to this drive-in. Good food and good times." 5 -- Thomas Schmidt |

WHAT is THAT? Ohhhh...it's a drive-in
screen! Cool!
No cash register -- no kidding! Pencil
and pad are used to compute prices.
Suspended from the reels: a '60s "Drizzle
Guard" ad. Hey, these guys recognize their history.
Hidden behind the present menu board.
Probably as old as the drive-in itself...
Ditto. The old-fashioned carbon-arc
lamp produces a great picture, by the way.
