But people were quiet during the movie so that was good. With their headlights on, it was the equivalent (but worse) to that person in the theater who can’t stop texting and everyone knows it because we can all see his bright screen. I also didn’t like that they allowed people to come in well after the movie had started. Even so, you’d think they’d have better quality speakers outside so you could listen to those.

If we ever go back, we will be taking a portable radio to have with us outside rather than relying on our vehicle’s radio.

So we sat inside the truck and the sound was better there but we were but still disappointed as our kids could not see the screen from the back seat. We had our truck’s volume turned up all the way and still couldn’t understand what they were saying from our truck bed. The sound quality at screen 3 was great for all the ads but deteriorated pretty badly when the trailers and then movie started. The playground is a bit disappointing as it looks to be for toddlers only. I had never been to this drive in before but have been wanting to go for a long time. It’s hard enough to take notes on nacho quality while keeping up with the story line.We went to see the new Bill & Ted movie (which I don’t recommend: not as funny as the others). Where’s the Veuve Clicquot when you need it?Ĭhow, Baby likes this trend of edible food being served at movie theaters, but I need to remember that I’m a food critic, not a movie reviewer. They’re loaded with beef, pico de gallo, avocado, cheese, and black beans and topped with sour cream and jalapeños. Not only are these nachos unrelated to the gelatin-like globs of “cheese” and stale chips served at most movie theaters, they’re also better than those at, say, Chili’s or any of the Brinker chain restaurants. More of a concession stand traditionalist? Go for the Nachos Libre ($8.79). I inhaled the crispy saucers like fried discs of crack. Or, if you go, as a consolation prize order the spicy fried pickles ($6.99), served with ranch dressing. I swear I got dumber every minute I watched that waste of film. If you go to the Tavern, or any movie theater, stay as far away from The Counselor as humanly possible. It offers choices ranging from kobe beef sliders ($11.79) to shrimp skewers ($10.99) and, of course, all of the usual movie concession fare. The Tavern’s menu is way more ambitious than that of a snack bar. The Coyote snack bar might have gotten a little higher rating in my book if I hadn’t partaken of another dinner-and-a-movie experience a few days earlier - “ The Movie Tavern (2872 Crockett St.) is a ‘must try,’ raves anonymous Fort Worth Weekly food critic.” (I’m trying to imagine a celebratory occasion that would involve both a drive-in movie and champagne.) If you’re really in the mood to celebrate, the bar also sells bottles of Veuve Clicquot ($85). The bar has a fantastic beer and wine selection, offering several Texas craft brews and a few big-name glasses of vino (Mondavi, Stag’s Leap, Acacia). The pepperoni pizza ($8) was no Fireside Pie, but it’ll get you through a movie. Too bad - the flat, overcooked burger was school cafeteria quality, as were the previously frozen fries.

The Coyote cheeseburger ($8) with Hatch green chiles, roasted red peppers, bacon bits, and cojita cheese caught my eye. What’s it stuffed with, pelican meat? I didn’t want to risk it. There’s also a cheese plate and something called a Louisiana meat pie ($6). The delicious garlicky spread, served with pita bread, was a welcome sight on the menu. But I was surprised to find a decent hummus ($6). I didn’t really have high expectations for the snack bar - and for the most part it’s not that great. Regardless of whether the movie is good, the drive-in gets an A-plus for providing a cool overall experience. Luckily, the ushers eventually stepped in. There’s nothing worse than watching Sandra Bullock scramble to save her own life in zero gravity to a soundtrack of accordion music that sounds eerily similar to cats in heat. The drive-in is great, but a movie like that needs a more cinematic setting - and one that can’t be ruined by some jerks blaring Tejano music and constantly turning on their headlights. It was a bad idea to go see the movie Gravity at the Coyote Drive-In (223 NE 4th St.).
