Montana Drive-In

This place is awesome! Three screens, great movie choices, double features, incredibly reasonable prices on admission and concessions. 5 stars all the way. We go at least 5 – 10 times a year and it’s always a wonderful experience.

My husband and I went for the first time last night. Drove all the way from Nashville to be treated rudely by the concessions team. We also had trouble watching the movies because the car behind us kept turning on their headlights. There was no one outside to monitor such things, and one quick glance around showed several other vehicles turning their lights on and off as well. My husband said he went in and asked someone to do something about it and was told there was nothing that could be done. In a cinema, ushers keep patrons from using their phones because the lights are distracting and cause glares. You own a drive-​in, and can’t do anything about giant glaring head-​lights? Hard to believe.

I used to love Montana Drive-​In. I hadn’t been in years, and I brought a group of new friends. I talked it up and talked it up to them, and after going, I was so embarresed.
My brother-​in-​law found a cluster of hairs in the fries that came with his chicken boat. We understand that it happens sometimes, but he had lost his appetite for fries and just wanted to exchange them for nachos. First, the cashier said he didn’t even see the hairs. Then, after taking it to the back, he said the cook saw it and would make us a fresh basket. After explaining that the hairs had caused him to lose his appetite for the chicken basket, we were told that we would be charged for any exchange. We found hairs, plural, in our food and were told we would be charged to switch them out! They also wouldn’t give us an itemized reciept.
I noticed they had root beer and ice cream, and asked a different employee if they could make a root beer float. I was told no, because he didn’t know how… fortunately for me, a female employee over — heard the exchange and made it for me. Had she not been there, he wouldn’t have even bothered asking any other employees if it was something they did for peoole.
The value of watching 2 current movies for 7 $ is unbeatable. However, I would be careful because rude employees and poor customer service is enough to outweigh the value.

We saw The Avengers movie 5÷11÷2012 here on recommendation from friends. There are three screens and unfortunately The Avengers was playing on the closest screen to the highway and train tracks. We stopped counting after 4 trains came through with horns blaring. There is no fencing to block headlights for cars entering the drive in from the highway.
The concessions were the one bright spot for his drive in.
We love the drive in experience and go to as many as we can. This one needs some work. Fencing alone to block headlights would have earned an extra star or two. Don’t know how they will fix the trains though.

Enjoyed it! But food lines are long.
