2026 4th of july, this was last night, we have been to the 4th here 3 different time alway fun,alway knowing its going to be packed. we left our house in hurst last night around 8 pm giving us plenty of time being google said 20 minutes... Nope all of downtown was locked down with no way to get to the drive in. so we spent our 4th driving around ft worth from all sides to get there. total blocked out... will not be returning to the drive in... you should post on your site that the roads would be closed early. poor communication with you customers.... thanks for nothing.... oh yea and no refunds... weak and poor business.. please try harder to inform you customers.

We arrived about an hour early. Parking was a breeze and the lines for concessions were short. The prices were very affordable compared to a regular theater. The kids enjoyed playing on the playground and video game before the movie. The chicken sandwiches were only lukewarm but the pizza came out popping hot and our popcorn was popped fresh. We were parked towards the front and had no issues with viewing the screen or people with their headlights on. It was a nice family outing. We had to restart the car a few times to make sure the battery didn't die and to keep the sound on in our vehicle. We took lawn chairs and backed the Jeep in to create plenty of space. If you have back or knee issues I would just make sure you bring a comfortable seat or have plenty of room to adjust in your car.

The perfect spot for a unique movie night! We got tickets online for a Tuesday showing. While they recommend arriving 90 minutes early, 45 minutes worked fine for us since it wasn't crowded--weekends might be different! I loved the comfort of watching from our car. You can tune in on your car radio or rent one from them. The concession stand offers a variety of snacks, and the bathrooms were clean. The picture quality isn't the best, but that's expected. Overall, the nostalgic vibe at Coyote was amazing--can't wait to return! TL;DR: Nostalgic, cozy drive-in with decent snacks, clean bathrooms, and a fun atmosphere. Weekends may require an earlier arrival.

It's so neat that Fort Worth has a real deal drive in movie theater. It's located off 4th Street in the downtown area of the city. They have 4 screens, each movie has its radio station that you can tune to in your car or Coyote also has radios available to rent. Even though you are in your vehicle they have signs up asking you not to bring in outside food and beverages. We supported the overpriced (as you would expect) concessions and bought 3 meat pizzas, hamburgers and fries. And even though delivery to your car is available we went old school and walked up to the concession stand. Even with a long line on a Friday night they were pretty quick. The incredible skyline view is also a very nice perk. Coyote Drive In is a super fun way to enjoy a movie!

Overall a fun experience for the family. It's pretty fun to see a movie here and have some nice bar food and popcorn. Yes I can stay home or go to a movie theater to do the same thing, but the vibe at a drive in to me is just different in a positive way. The burger, booze, and popcorn were tasty. Every worker we came across from the front gate, Oder taker and bartender were all very friendly. We had no problems watching the movie and everyone around us was pretty chill. I also love the fact that we were able to bring our doggo along. Just a fun experience, highly recommend!

I went to see Wicked with my sister and dog and enjoyed it so much! We got there early to get a good spot, and then turned on the radio and we were ready! Didn't get to try any of the concessions because they shut down after the film starts unfortunately. Other than that it was a very enjoyable experience and I can't wait to come again!

Love the kid play area and food options available. Parking was a little weird, but overall genuinely enjoyed my time.

First off, I'm a fan of going to movies, Second, I'm a big fan of Drive In's! I grew up going to drive in movies and have fond memories of the overall experience you get there. So happy there is a Drive In Movie place in Fort Worth. It's not like going to a luxury theater with climate control or Dolby surround sound but the experience of being outside, with your family or friends in a casual setting is something you will enjoy! We ordered some basics candy and popcorn. It's what you'd expect at any movie theater. Overall loved the experience and the views of downtown Fort Worth are

Coyote Drive in is a wonderful bit of nostalgia in Ft Worth. They have 4 screens for movies nightly. We decided to treat my youngest with a trip to the drive in on New Years Eve, with our oldest going to hang at their friends house for the night. We opted with Jurassic Park, which was slightly less cost than the more current movies. Though during our movie we could turn around and see another one of the movies playing. They have discount Wednesday with I would recommend if coming for a newer movie. Sound came thru well on our car speakers, we even tested out a radio we got over the holidays incase we decided to sit in the lawn chairs we brought with us. The concession area is a nice area to let the kids play on the play ground while you wait for your movie, as they recommend coming an hour before your show incase there is traffic. They had fire pits going and the option to buy a s'mores kit for $15 that worked out to make 6 smores, which we split with another family in line that noticed them on the menu with us. I'm not sure if they have that year round or just during the colder months. We ate before we came so we stuck to the s'mores for the fun of it to help kill time before the movie ... Plus, the popcorn & icee we had intended to splurge on. They say no outside food/drink but as with most movie theaters, you likely can get away with some small items like candy or some bottled water/soda if you have it put away, but don't be obvious trying to come in sonic cups in your cup holder or holding a pizza. They do have folks in golf carts coming around to help charge batteries, or remind people to turn off/keep off lights.

What a fun time! In all honesty it was the first drive in movie I have ever seen. The concessions were great, typical concessions but they also had a bomb Mexican food cart and a vegan empanada place. Both were delicious. We also got refillable fountain drinks and popcorn/candy at the concessions. Bathrooms were clean and well kept. Lots of room to park and see the screen easily. And LOVED seeing the movie with the Fort Worth skyline as a backdrop all lit up. Great experience and we definitely will be back! Easy to get to and affordable price too! So fun!

Ask the Community - Coyote Drive-In

Anyone know if they're open the weekend of 6/20?

Yes, they are. They're showing Jurassic Park and IT along with another double feature...Shrek and Harry Potter I believe.

Can I bring my own food? What's the price per person?

Yes, you can picnic in your car - though they have some pretty decent options! Price per person depends, but it's pretty affordable, approximately $8 per person. Definitely cheaper than a traditional theater!

Forgive me, but I've never been. Can you leave after the first feature?

They are only showing one movie at a time for now.

Is there a seating area if you don't have a truck bed to sit in?

I don't believe so. We had lawn chairs and just open up our SUV to listen to the movie through the radio. Left the motor running so the battery wouldn't run down.

Can we watch two separate movies if they are not paired from the listings?

No. They have signage up everywhere that you have to watch the movies you paid for together. You can't watch one and then drive to a different screen and watch the other.

So the first movie of the double feature doesn't start till 8:55 p.m. then the next movie after that?

Once the credits are done in the first movie, the next movie plays right after. It is late, but it is because the sun is still out and glares onto the screens so, which makes it hard to see clearly as if it was night time.

My late grandmother was a superb country cook and her name was Maggie. Good omen! We got there about 11:45 and got a table right away. Our server was Devin and she was terrific. We split the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and green beans. The portion that they brought out was gigantic....plenty for two average appetites. What I really liked about it was - it was not over-breaded and it was fork-tender. (in my humble opinion, too many places are giving you a lot more breading that doesn't have meat under it. Yes, it's a first-world problem.) The mashed potatoes were also quite good, along with the cream gravy. I'm not a huge green bean fan, but my wife really liked them. This place has a cool vibe and we plan to return sometime soon. It's one of the top 3 CFS's we've had in Fort Worth / mid-cities.

We ordered nachos as an appetizer to split, along with two beers and a kids meal. What arrived was Motley Crue waking from a drug binge, raiding the pantry and trash, then declaring "let's do it." What was supposed to be nachos was anything but. The only explanation is someone who had never seen nachos tried to recreate them after hearing a rumor from someone at a Lowe's parking lot. The "chips" were not tortilla chips. They were rectangular strips of pale, flimsy material that looked like scraps of drywall film pulled out of a new construction site. An albino drywall experiment that somehow escaped the kitchen and landed on a plate. The entire thing was covered in barbecue sauce, with some mystery white liquid poured over the top. We assume it was supposed to be queso, but it definitely was not queso. Calling it queso feels disrespectful to actual queso. We ate maybe a quarter of it and decided we needed to leave before things got worse. Six hours later, we received an unannounced encore performance in the bathroom. I would avoid this place like a plague outbreak--unless you have an upcoming colonoscopy and want to skip the bowel prep.

I got to experience Wicked Butcher two completely different ways and both were excellent…read more First visit was a solo lunch. I sat on the couch with my laptop, had a light bite and drinks, and it felt easy and casual. Definitely seems like a great spot to pop into for happy hour or a relaxed lunch. They were really good about helping me find an outlet and place to set up. And they didn't rush me out. I sat there for quite a while snacking with an iced tea. Second visit was completely different. Our company rented a downstairs section for 40+ people with a simplified menu, and the space transformed into much more of a high-end, speakeasy-style steakhouse experience. The food was delicious both times and the service was fantastic. My steak at the corporate dinner initially came out overcooked, and I felt bad even mentioning it, but they handled it immediately and the replacement was absolutely perfect. I'd 100% recommend Wicked Butcher for a company dinner or private event. The table service downstairs was impeccable, and it felt special without feeling stuffy.

It was such a busy night in the area but luckily we were seated very quickly! It was also a really…read morenice booth too, not just bar top. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. It was pretty slow but that's probably due to the volume of people. We were there for like two hours. The place itself is so classy, it was a perfect stop. We also got complimentary champagne for the wait so I can't really complain. White Truffle Caesar: It was soooo fresh, I always get hesitant with caesar's because places tend to drown it in dressing to hide the wilted lettuce, this wasn't the case. It was very fresh and had a light truffle taste which i prefer to heavily truffled. 9/10 filet: cooked absolutely perfect. they brought out the wrong steak at first but immediately got it before we even noticed. The herb butter you can get with it is a must!!! it's so amazing and complements the steak perfectly. 10/10 rigatoni bolognese: it was a little spicy and i honestly loved that! it was a great pasta dish with perfectly al dente noodles. 10/10 steak tartare: hear me out, it tastes and smells like in n out hahaha! it's the fried onions they put on it, i liked it though. 7/10 hamachi crudo: soooo fresh. pretty simple but well done. 8/10 creme brulee: i was so tired so wanted it to go, apparently they don't do to go which i understand. I wish they told me that thought before he spooned my creme brulee into a plastic container. it wasn't good at all. 2/10 I should've had it in house so I'm not letting that affect the review. Overall amazing restaurant that i'd gladly return to and highly recommend. Our bill came out to $191 not including tip.

For an appetizer, we shared an order of their tamales. Now, I'm spoiled on amazing homemade tamales, and these were certainly very different than what I'm used to, but they were so good! I was very impressed. For cocktails I started with an espresso martini and layer I had a barrel aged Manhattan. Both met my expectations perfectly. The espresso martini had espresso, vanilla vodka and coffee liqueur. The Manhattan was your standard Antigua and Angestora but with the double-oaked version of Woodford Reserve (which is a favorite of mine). For dinner I had the Rockfish. It was amazing. A light, crunchy exterior and a moist, flaky interior with a very flavorful sauce and tender-crisp fresh veggies. It was surprisingly good. I don't remember our server but also, I don't remember waiting for anything or running out of water or anything else so they must have taken good care of us! I would totally come here again.
