Despite being in a somewhat sketchy area I love this place! I have been going with my fiance more frequently since the pandemic and we plan on taking my stepdaughter this Friday. Perfect way to socially distance and have fun

I absolutely love this place and I have for years. I hope you all are forever in business so my daughter can have this as she’s growing up. Affordable and fun! Remember to turn your headlights off during a movie

Came here with my significant other and had a great time! I advise to get snacks and bring a comfy car! The ticket prices are also amazing! Make sure to arrive early to pick the best spot in the house!

This place holds a special place in my heart. My family has so far created some fun and bizarre and strong memories here. Im thankful that theres still a place we can enjoy the drive in experience. I hope it remains that way so mu children and grandchildren can create their own experiences at Starlight.

It was my first time there , Very bad experience! So many cars parked in the front of the first parking row. That means it’s not a parking line there. They are not supposed to park just under the screen. Should have a sign to warning ppl about that.There was a guy to tell ppl turn off the headlights when the movie started. It seems like a good management, right??? BUT!!!!! After 20 mins, so many cars just drove to the very front side to look for a closer view. Even the first parking line is no more spaces. Then some cars just started to block the driveways, it was so distracting and annoying. There’s no theater employee came to manage it, then we have to talk to different cars to tell them not supposed to do it. The lawn Is not a parking lot ..etc.It is a bad experience tonight, I would not come back for sure. We came here before 8:00pm, so we were early enough to park in the first row for the best view. But others just did the short cuts in the middle of the movie and totally blocked our driveways. Made us unsafe to sit in front of our cars. This is unfair!It looks like a popular place, but needs a better management. Otherwise you won’t have repeat clients.

This was my 3rd time coming to see a movie at this theater. Ive always enjoyed myself. This time was different than the other two. The person working the entrance gave the wrong radio station and caused us to miss about 15 mins of the movie we paid to see. He said 102.7 but really our movie was 100.9 There should be a lot more lighting to guide customers through the entrance and back out to the exit. There are lamps but no lights.

Had a nice night. The only thing is that online it showed a showtime but when we got there they didnt have the movie playing at that time. We ended up coming back for a different time. But good quality overall.

I love the drive thru movies. $10 for adults can catch two movies. Cant beat it. Im here at least 3 times out the month. Great movies. Visit the website for movies and playing time.

Staff is super nice. In and out quickness. My boyfriend and i visit every sunday and will continue as a little tradition!

Great activity to do social distancing style! However, The building itself, screens and lighting could use some updating. The movies appear dark like an old bootleg. The restrooms and concession area could also be updated, painted, better lighting, clear of cockroaches at the entrance and also stay open later. The concession closes early and sometimes people want popcorn, etc, in the middle of the movie. I like the idea of going on a date “alone together” without being at risk during this time. It’s ok for that purpose. They are lucky they do not have competition!

$10 entry per person. Easy to get a parking spot and great view! 10/10 would recommend!

I loved the old school experience & feeling of going to drive in but dont like the uneven parking lot surface my gurl almost ripped bottom of car off trying to park & there was glass on the parking lot

Tb
Review №13

The staff was nice as we entered. They had signs saying Turn Off Head Lights but nobody reads signs anymore. No attendant walked around to tell the people that cant read to turn them off so the movie was like listening to an audio book with light shadows. It sounded great.

Review №14

I really enjoyed myself at this movie theater this was my first experience at a drive-in theater! The parking lot was a little awkward but other than that I really enjoyed the movie and I enjoyed popcorn with my bae

Review №15

Hard to beat the value here. For $10 you can see up to 3 movies! Great for parents needing to get out but who cant take their kids into a theater. Doubly great during a pandemic where indoor venues arent an option.Negatives are that not everyone turns their lights off properly and the staff dont enforce any rules, but Ive rarely had more than a minor avoidance to deal with because of it.

Review №16

We really enjoyed our first visit to the Starlight. We were there for the Metallica and Three Days Grace prerecorded concert. The bathroom was clean and the boys enjoyed their visit to the snack bar. The only drawback I saw was they are not enforcing their own rule of cars 10 feet apart...we did ask the folks that pulled up beside us to move and they did.

We love having a drive-in in our own town, but Starlight is a cut above for sure!6 screens and incredibly efficient queuing.We had a great family experience.

Review №18

Considering movie theaters havent been open due to Covid and this is open itll work. Not the best looking and cleanest but a really cool experience. Id go here again just for the experience of watching a movie in your car and not at home. The concession lacks in choices and quality but for $10 to watch two movies its not a deal breaker and tolerable.

Review №19

It was pretty good. Just make sure you stay social distanced, and some ppl might be smoking out their cars. So, if you dont like that I suggest you dont go. But if you find a good spot to park and turn your radio up enough, its a good experience.

Its a great value. Two movies for one price. So fun to watch a movie in your car under the stars!

Starlight is an iconic Atlanta place, very valuable to our community especially when movie theaters are not open due to this pandemic. However, despite their claims on their website that they are following procedures to protect the public and their employees from covid-19, this is not what I observed tonight. None of the employees selling tickets were wearing masks. None of the rules were enforced regarding cars needing to be 10 feet apart or people needing to stay inside their vehicle to watch the movie. There was a sign with very small print on the restroom door that no more than five people could be in the restroom and right after I entered while it was empty, 5 people followed me and there were no employees to educate or enforce this rule. In other words, 5 people without masks came into the restroom right behind me. The only way for us to have been six feet apart was if they were only two of us in the restroom, so it seems like there shouldnt be more than two or three people allowed for proper social distancing. I very much appreciate this theater and being able to do something over the summer where I feel safe and socially distance from other people, but I implore starlight to start backing up its own policies!I also feel like there should be a lower price for children who are above 9. The $1 to $10 jump was steep and we brought four teens. $5 maybe? Even 8?

Had fun. Took the fam, relaxed and chilled. It was nice except for some dingdong next to us with his lights on? Like why? you are at a drive-in. They really should have someone out monitoring that typea ish, and if the person dont comply, they can just LEAVE

A great place to see movies the only thing is that when you try to leave it’s very congested but other than that cool

Review №25

Super fun to watch movies from the comfort of your SUV(or car). After everyone figures out how to turn off their headlights, its all good.Horror movies are a bit difficult to watch due to them already being dark as-is on screen.

Ja
Review №26

This place is amazing! Hands down my favorite place in Georgia to see a movie! Definitely stay protected with a mask, but aside from that Ive got no complaints! The drive-in is a great choice for several occasions! Prices have risen a bit but considering the financial state we are in now and that youre seeing 2 movies for $10 a person, I am definitely not complaining! As long as Im here in Georgia Ill be coming to Starlight Drive-in!!!

Review №27

Price was $10 per person in the car. Radio station was slightly static using the car radio, had to use my phone radio and an aux cord to get a fairly decent signal. Watched Bad hair it was good, interesting, and semi-scary but i stayed for the next feature and i thought it was Last Shift the scary movie but instead The Last shift was played, a supposed comedy but it wasnt funny and i was ready to go 30 minutes into the film.

Review №28

One of my favorite places in town. Sad that it’s the only drive-in I know of here. This reminds me of my childhood. I’ve gone on dates here. We’ve definitely brought our own snacks and been comfortable. Honestly it’s more affordable than sitting in any theatre. Now that we must all social distance, perfect.

Review №29

My family and I have been going to this theater for many years. It reminds me of going with my parents as a kid. The people working there are always nice. It is easy to hear through your radio and very easy to see the huge screens. It is fantastic fun for date nights or a fun party time with kids. Prices are low as well. The only downside are people who won’t turn off their headlights. Lines can be long, so go early.

It was a nice time. It was a good first experience of a drive in theater . I liked that we could watch two movies and the screen quality was really good!Make sure you bring an FM radio so you can hear though!

This drive-in is very good. They play new and older films. The price is $27.00 a car load up to six people. The food is solid and the prices very affordable.

Review №36

Went to the flea market paid the attendant Lucy for parking my car and for parking my sisters’s car which was behind me, however the attendant still charged my sister for parking which I had already paid for. After parking the car, I went back to the attendant to get the funds back and she acted as if she had no idea what I was talking about, after standing over her she said to give her a minute she will have to refund me out of her pocket. I Explained to the manager what happened, the female manager who was btw very unprofessional, ordered us to leave. Well I definitely won’t be going back to that place where they award their attendant for stealing and being dishonest.

Its fine a little hard to tell where to park and luckily I wasnt hit but someone else was while we were there. Some people go there to smoke so dont be too surprised. Not terrible though just a little sketchy at night.

I like! My guy and I went to see Ava, it was overall a good movie!This drive-in is still the drive in, tickets $10 a person. Some areas are more like a block party with people in lawn chairs and hanging out.

Very poorly managed. No direction where to park or what screen to look at. No instructions on which channel to even listen to the movie. The screen has huge rust stains in it. Could be way better but I doubt they will make the necessary changes.

Nostalgia at its finest! A must go if you enjoy drive inn movies. Sadly my local drive inn was demolished to build Google in Council Bluffs, Iowa with promise to relocate/build a new one...several years later....no drive inn. Go to Starlight Drive Inn and relive true Americana!

Review №47

I love love love the drive in! Starlight is just that a drive in, not too much to say about drive in. Havent been there in a long time. Visibility of seeing the movie seems to have improved a bit, use to be too dark. Sound of movie a lot better but we kept getting some low static in the background my husband changed spots like 2 times but the low static stayed.Food still the same basic drive in movie. But I still love love love the drive in

Review №48

I like to go there, is a great option to keep my kids entertained while keeping social distance as you stay in your own car for most of the movie, my only suggestion is that the women bathroom needs more maintenance

Review №59

This place brings back childhood memories. The drive in side is cool. The first time it can be a bit confusing cause you may think the screens are on different lots but in actuality theyre all on one huge lot. Its not a distraction cause you tune in through your cars radio system, unless you choose to bring lawn chairs and sit outside your vehicle. The concession is very reasonable. My family of six can get popcorn, drinks and candy for $20. Or you can just bring your own, an alternative you have at the drive-in. Cant beat it with a stick! Last movie watched was Queen & Slim.

Best outdoor fleamarket in and around town. Many vendors, always outdoors, great deals, do not buy things in stores you can get here and save money. Shop 1st then go to Kroger and Publix. Also, come hungry! Eat TACOS and great food! Haggle prices and save money. Many vendors have been regular suppliers for my home and business. Bring your kids and this is your new low cost toy store and clothing store. Kids shoes! Fix up the house with great stuff. I have been coming for years!!! Great

Review №65

I love the drive-in theater its so majestic. I love the snacks at the snacks stand especially the nachos... the only thing I dont like is the fact that people come out there and they act like they dont know how to operate their vehicles. And when I say dont know how to operate them I mean they simply do not know how to turn off their headlightsI feel like you dont know how to work your vehicle you dont need to go to the drive-in because you mess up everyones experience!

1950ish feel. How ever the Drive-In can be aesthetically updated, this one should be. Maybe newly paved road, a well lit exit and definitely a bigger and way better food court. The movie quality and price of 2 movies are very economical and refreshing

This is an old school drive-in theater and is an especially great option if you’re looking to get out of your house and do something while socially distancing. They have new movies and old movies available, and a snack bar. If you’re going on the weekend, be sure to leave yourself a lot of extra time as there will be a long line.

Internet said movie started 10:10pm, get there and discover the movie started at 8:30pm. Attendant offers a different movie, followed by our movie for one price, but the ticket reads we only paid for our original movie. After finding a parking spot, the radio station has so much static we finally ask for and received a refund...

I really like this place. Not only are the tickets reasonable but not having to get out of my car, wait in a long line, and I can bring my own snacks is a bonus. This is an awesome idea during this pandemic. It’s my husband and I anniversary and we didn’t know what to do until we thought about coming to the drive in movie. I’m so thankful!
