We came to Coyote Drive-In a couple of weeks ago as we heard they were closing. The staff are friendly and the armosphere was relaxed. We watched the Coyote vs. Acme movie which was entertaining and funny. We enjoyed food from the concession stand. The chicken strips, fries and cheeseburger were yummy and the sour patch straws were a yummy addition. The price for the food and movie ticket were reasonable. I'm sad that they are closing this drive-in and hope they are able to open in another location. Drive-In theaters have become scarce and Coyote Drive-In was a wonderful addition to the downtown Fortworth area. read more

We visited Coyote Drive-In for the first time and had a really good experience overall. One thing they didn't mention they offer radios for rent, instead of keeping our truck on the whole time. And some people arrived late, so we noticed headlights and a bit of noise, which was a little distracting at times. We still enjoyed the night a lot. It was a fun and different experience, and everything went smoothly. We just got $8 popcorn, but it hit the spot while watching the movie. read more

Sad to say, coyote drive-in is permanently closed. I suppose the real estate it was sitting on was way too valuable! The food was really good. There was a central picnic area and playground for kids Plenty of security. Price was very reasonable. I hope a similar thing opens up soon. read more

I came here recently and saw Lilo and Stitch with my family. A friend who lives in Fort Worth recommended it this theater. My experience was above average. I got here an hour and 15 minutes before the movie started, but at the time I came Lilo Stich wasn't brand new so I didn't expect a crowd. However I wanted to check out the dining area after driving an hour to get here. This way I can soak up the whole experience without it feeling rushed if I had come on time. The website does suggest arriving 90 minutes early. That's may be so worth weekend openers to get a good parking spot in front of the screen. For a movies that's been out and while it seem like an hour to 30 minutes before would be fine. There were no new movies when I went and there were plenty of parking spaces near the screen. My kids got a chicken sandwich and a burger. It's a no-frills burger with just the meat and cheese. My chicken sandwich was a bit over lukewarm however thankfully the flavor, crispiness, was good. The bun wasn't soft perhaps it was getting old, because it had some firmness to it. My daughter said the burger was average. My wife got the pepperoni pizza, this was a decent size, however the crust was undercooked. Pizza is average. I also tried the funnel cake which was 7/10. I also had the popcorn which was made fresh and delicious. The cotton candy was good too. In the dining area there's a slushy truck and a plate area for young kids they also have Connect Four and Corn hole. They also have a dedicated bar here and bathrooms in this area which were clean. My movie experience was good. It was bug free too (. My car kept on shutting off the radio (the movie sound plays through a FM station/ until I turned the engine on. Just prepare to idle your car or risk a dead battery if you have this feature. The movie quality was clear and the crowd was respectful and courteous. If you're into drive in movies this one is a go and definitely worth a first-time experience at best. read more

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. read more

Coyote Drive-In - 10 in pepperoni pizza - Cinema Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

Such a fun place. The service was amazing. My 9 year old granddaughter has celiac disease. The staff researched on their phones to find gluten free food that they offered. That made her day and was so kind. We had a blast and the playground is great too. read more

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! read more

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 read more

Went tonight, ordered a smores kit at concession and the chocolate was expired. No biggie, refunded because apparently the chocolate in all the kits were expired (11/2025) . Then movie started 30 minutes late because their sound system didn't work, then when the movie did come on the screen went black 30 minutes in and they cancelled the movie. Was not approached by any worker, went up to concessions after 30 minutes and was told then they were cancelling the movie and would give re entry passes but unable to do refunds. Unhelpful for a family not from here. After several messages they agreed to issue a refund, so some points there. Used to come all the time when we lived here and never experienced anything like this, but one issue after another makes me never want to come back when we are in town. read more

Coyote drive thru was a cute idea since I haven't seen a movie at the drive in years. They had an app to use to order food and delivery it to your car which came in handy since it was cold, but we ordered 2 pizzas, chili fries. And Nachos . They put all our food items in one bag With both pizzas facing sidewards with the cheese melted to both pizza boxes. When they deliver your ordered food items they should treat the food like it's theirs......... read more

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. read more

Food wasn't as good as it was a few months back. Overall visit was as nice, clean great experience for grandchild

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! read more

A night of fun like no other is what's in your future when you visit Coyote Drive-In! New movie releases (and a few classics) shown on four GIANT outdoor screens. Sound plays via radio station specific to each screen. Great movie food options are sold at the huge "Canteen" - we love the foot long corn dogs, fries, and popcorn. And, they have a great beer/wine selection! The Canteen also is the site of the restrooms which are kept SO clean and have automatic toilets, sinks, soap and paper towel dispensers. FIVE TIPS for max enjoyment: (1) gate opens at 7pm (as of fall 2020) so be in the car line by then in order to get a great parking spot, (2) buy tix via the app or web for faster entrance, (3) bring a radio with fresh batteries so that you don't run down your car's battery (we use our emergency weather radio that was bought for $5). read more

We love the Coyote Drive-In! When you get there, there is always some live music to enjoy while your kids can play with others on the playground. Concessions flow quickly and there is a bar concession for beverages as well. Lots of bees were buzzing around the soda area for the sugar so that was a bit worrisome if you are allergic. They should look into doing something different for the sodas. My bird child was welcomed by the staff and people enjoyed seeing him. Did not see any mosquitos while we were out there. It was an enjoyable evening. Just a side note, if you are visiting the drive in, be courteous of your headlights and please arrive before the movie starts. It was pretty distracting during our scary movie to have headlights blurring the screen and tail lights movie in front of you. read more

Coyote Drive-In - Movie Night at the Coyote Drive In! - Cinema Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

Coyote is at its best during the winter. You may need to run your car heater (especially the defrost) a bit, but it's better than wilting in the summer heat. December and January feature a small ice rink and a heated tent where people seem to hang out even while the movie is showing. Movies are always two for the price of one. Sound is via your FM radio. Pro tip - bring a blanket to put over your dash if your radio display lights come on whenever the radio is on. The menu has changed since my first review, but the double bacon cheeseburger still hits the spot - make sure to ask for sides of lettuce, tomato or onion if you want to add those. Still plenty of craft beer available, both drafts and cans. Catching moonrise at the drive-in is magical. read more

Great feel. Clean bathrooms (which means a lot to me!) I like the entire setup. The menu options looked good too but we ate before we got there so we're not hungry. The ONLY negative was that the movie we saw was dark (Black Panther: Wakanda Forever) and there was "hood lighting" from the city not too far away, which made it VERY difficult to watch and focus. There were times we had to resituate our angles to try and see better. Old drive-in in my neighborhood when I was a child used to have a wall to block outside (street) lights. They may want to invest in that. Maybe get some HS tech students to do it for comm service or smaller fee and experience hours. read more

Coyote Drive in is just ok. We decided to go there because they had a movie that was only showing at their drive-in. The main issue is that they seem to play an hour worth of commercials. They repeated some of the commercials at least twice. The movie ends really late when you choose an 8pm showing. Another thing is the employees kept knocking on our car door. They interrupted us three times. They kept addressing a situation that their drive-in has not done to accomodate newer model cars. Date night should not be full of interruptions. Their location is really hard to find. You have to make many turns in a strange area. When you think you are absolutely lost, you are almost there. I'm not that familiar with what a drive-in is supposed to look like because it's 2023, but the surroundings just were not appealing to me. I found it strange that they did not allow outside food or drinks. Many people have water or drinks in their car all of the time. Some people might go to the grocery store before coming. They are concerned with outside food when they barely have anyone attending in the first place. They didn't seem to enforce the food and drink policy because I had a water with me. I'm not sure about the concessions or facilities because I didn't use them. read more

The most covid friendly movie experience you can have now a days!! I don't come often, but I definitely should! They used to do a double feature, I guess not any more? I always fall asleep on the second movie anyway! It's still a pretty fair price for a movie ($8 per person). Come early, get your spot, get comfortable, buy concessions (consisting of delicious local beers!), and enjoy your movie! Depending on the screen, you have the beautiful Fort Worth buildings in the background. I really enjoy coming to this place! We will be back before it gets too hot out! read more

Pro tip: bring your own Bluetooth speaker to listen to the movie instead of just listening through the car radio. read more
