The attendant did, however, have enough time to come back up to me, still with attitude, to ask if the car next to me had barged in, so that he could kick them out.. which they seem to enjoy doing to their "valued customers".
Absolutely love this place. No matter where you park you can see the screen well. Just make sure you can turn your head lights off or bring a towel to cover them. Cash is best cause the prices are a little cheaper than with a card. Huge food selection and very reasonably priced. The popcorn is the bomb. The staff is really nice. If you have food allergies you can totally bring your own food but they just charge a small fee for bringing outside food( I mean they still have to make money.) The website has all the information you'll possibly need. I mean your paying $10 for 3 movies, can you get a better deal than that?!?! Seriously, if you haven't gone you should go.
After a very long wait to the box office (not sure how they are so busy with their horrendous customer service) the movie had already started playing. Once I had gotten to the box office, the employee said that he had to throw away my water or charge me $10... MY WATER. I would absolutely understand if it was soda and candy.. but water? come on.... Having had realized at this point that they only accepted cash, I informed the employee of the situation with the very rude attendant at the entrance, and then he proceeded to give me attitude!
I just want to start off by saying that this is the first poor-review I have ever written (I've never even tipped less than 20%), but after my disappointingly short visit to Bengies, I felt it was necessary ...
WARNING: CASH ONLY! As far as I found, this is only addressed once you arrive at the box office. I did find it hidden away on their website after the fact.. but in 2017 you'd imagine they would give you enough warning.
I love Bengies Drive-In. I loved it as a teen and as a mom I love it even more. One ticket get you 2 or 3 movies. Food is great. Staff always friendly and very helpful. Read the rules. Play ground is fun for kids before it gets dark. Get there early to get a good spot. Good family fun. Great for date night too.
When I first arrived and was directed where to go (still on the main road) I asked the attendant if they accepted debit/credit cards before I pulled in. I was shockingly appalled when he YELLED at me saying that he was "too busy" and so on. I work in the service industry.. I get it, it was hectic.. but a simple NO would have been a quicker response than his ranting as he walked away from me without answer my question!
Great place with awesome movies. I just don't agree with the fact that I get there early and they are strict with where I have to park but once they start filling up, they allow larger vehicles to park where they shouldn't and it blocks your view. It never used to be that way. The guy who runs it and is the commentator is great!
I go a few times every year with my family and friends and it's always lovely! The price is beyond worth it since it covers multiple movies and a fun experience, if you haven't been to an outdoor theater or this one specifically you should give it a go!
*Not to mention, this place has a different rule posted every 2 feet. They give you a pamphlet of rules once you enter! That thing must be thicker than the dictionary. A MAXIMUM-SECURITY PRISON HAS LESS RULES. How can you enjoy yourself when you're worrying about getting kicked out before you even pull into the entrance.
So after about 30-45 minutes of waiting in line, they threw out my water THEN told me that I had to go to the exit and find an ATM, then re-enter the chaotic line to pay cash to get in. NOPE.
