We chose the movies that were playing on screen 2. It was SO hard to hear. Not only was the highway loud through the trees, but planes were constantly taking off at the airport right beside us. It looked like screens 1 and 4 would have been much quieter, but I refuse to go back for screens 2 and 3. They also have certain color parking spots for certain sizes of vehicles, which is understandable, BUT while we were stuck in the last row with our truck, other trucks showed up after us and parked front and center. The drive in staff walked around before the movie, but didn't say anything to them. We also didn't realize that there were only a few spots in the very last row with speakers, so we are going to bring a portable radio next time we come. The other thing I thought was weird, was that you pay per person instead of per vehicle. I'd never heard of a drive in doing this. The concession stand had a good variety of food. I also appreciated that they waited about 20 minutes after the movie was supposed to start to actually start it, because it wasn't dark enough to see it yet. read more

Dependable Drive-In - View of 1 of the parking spots for trucks (even though you can see other trucks parked in the spots for cars) - Drive-In Theater Near Me - Coraopolis, Pennsylvania

Dependable Drive-in is my favorite place to see movies in Pittsburgh. I love the atmosphere of privately watching a movie in my car. The movies that they show are the latest good ones. The price of admission and of food is much cheaper than what you would pay at a regular movie theater. The staff members are nice. They are open year-round, even in the winter! If you are wondering, during the winter, I am sure to wear boots there, but I am not too cold sitting in my car. The buildings are older, but they function OK. With the low prices and the above-minimum-wage rates for their employees, I forgive their not updating the buildings. I always have a good view of the movie screen and can hear the sound well from my car speakers. read more

One of my favorite places! Four screens. Super-cheap concessions from standards like candy and popcorn to pleasant surprises like ice cream and funnel cake. What? Funnel cake? Also their web site is like some kind of awesome sanctuary/preserve for animated gifs. Huzzah for Dependable! read more

If you have never been to a drive-in then you need to go now! I love being able to sit in my car with blankets in the fall/winter, or with the windows down in the warmer months, and enjoy whatever movies I am seeing. The lines on the weekends, especially in the warmer months, can be crazy! I have gone with a friend an hour before the movie starts and they are already full for ALL movies! SO be sure to get there super early in the summer if you are dying to see your movie! In the winter its not so bad and there is usually plenty of parking. The concession stands are great. They have tons of candy options, popcorn, pretzels, funnel cakes, ect. A lot more then a regular movie theater! Movies usually start a little later then the posted times, but its never by much. All depends on when it gets dark enough out. I do agree with everyone else about the bathrooms. Would be nice if they would update them as the warm water NEVER works and thats so awful in the winter! Other than that I love everything about this place!!! read more

It's now summer so you know what that means... drive-ins! And thankfully we still have one (two actually... Twin HiWay counts) here in the area to enjoy. Dependable Drive-In is absolutely huge. There are two screens near the beginning with much room for cars and trucks and two screens further back that don't have as much space. I'm guessing the newer and more successful movies are shown on the first two screens. There are several snack stands and restrooms nearby as well so you don't have to walk far. Though, the restrooms are a little dirty. The best part is two movies cost less than $7!! You can't even get one movie for that price at any other theater. The only downfall is sometimes you'll get a group of rowdy kids who like to ruin the movie for everybody else. Best cure for that is to just adjust your volume in the car and drown the noise out. :) Why I love the drive-in, though, is because it's much more of a comfortable experience. You can get their early, bring some food and drinks, a table and chairs and relax before the film. It's a great summer evening trip and I can't wait to visit this year! read more

The parking police aren't very fair. They made us move our small Ford Escape SUV from a white pole yet they let an enormous Volkswagon van park in that spot. My $18 dollars is as worth as much as theirs is to come here. read more

Being Mom to a newborn and toddler means I haven't been to the movies except on date night in over two years! Last week the whole family went to the drive in and it was awesome! We brought chairs to sit outside of the car, where my two year old mainly spent his time, and I was in the van with my newborn in case he started crying and I didn't want to disturb anyone. It made it so easy! The sound was great, using the radio channel in the car and the old fashioned speakers outside. We had a good view of the screen and we were close to the clean, yet very old bathroom and snack stand. We brought snacks but next time I'd like to buy from the snack stand since the prices were so reasonable! Ticket prices were similar to movie theater prices but for two movies you can't beat it! We did end up leaving before the second showing because it was a bit late for us, but I know in the future it will be a savings to see two popular movies at such a good price! I had trouble figuring out how to leave the place before the second movie started. I ended up leaving through the entrance. I suppose at the end of both shows it would be easier to understand the flow to leave, but I wish there were low lights or something to show the way to the exit. We had a fantastic time and will hopefully be back this summer or next year for sure! read more

So much fun! I have been going to the Dependable since I was a kid! The price is good ($7 per head for 2 movies). The location is very convenient. It is near Robinson so there are a lot of place to pick up food and snacks beforehand. They had a great selection of current movies. The environment is great for friends or families. My only complaint, and the only reason I did not give The Dependable a 5/5, is that I don't think any updates have been done since I started going in the 90's. The bathrooms were old and full of scary spiders. The spaces are a tad confusing as well. Many of the radios are missing or broken. I wish the dependable would find someway to utilize the new technology that is now available. I bet they could do something really cool with bluetooth technology. read more

This was my first time every going to a drive-in movie theater and I really enjoyed it! Dependable Drive-In is right by the airport and if you follow the signs and Google maps it is pretty easy to get to. We arrived about halfway through the first movie so there was not a long line. The cost of the drive-in is $7.50 per person and includes two movies (a total bargain). There are four screens and typically the kids movie is played first with a more mature movie played after. One screen is devoted to rated R movies. Drive-in theaters are a really cool experience everyone should try at least once, and I'm glad my first experience was at Dependable. The FM radio was clear and we didn't experience any glitches. The bathroom wasn't fantastic, but it was what one would expect from an outdoor venue. We didn't buy any snacks but they did seem to have a lot of interesting and inexpensive items on the menu. While it is close to the airport, I didn't think it was much of an issue. I would definitely go back again! read more

If you're looking for a nice summer evening out at the movies, this is the place to go! My husband and I went for a date one summer night, and it was nice to be in the privacy of our own car. We could be as loud as we wanted and get snuggly. It's especially great when we take our son there. He can be a little disruptive in public, so this was perfect for him. They have movies for just about every crowd and decent deals on snacks. It's a really fun night out for anyone, friends, couples, and families! Best part, you get two movies for an amazing price! You won't find that at a movie theater! read more

Usually fine, but this time of year the movies start at least 30 minutes too early. The remaining sunlight makes it impossible to see the movie in anything approaching acceptable quality. Imagine watching "Jaws" and not seeing the first couple of shark attacks. That is about what you get. Another problem is the movie selection. It seems to be aimed a little low. I know nothing of optimal drive in demographic target, but you'd think at least one out of four screens could be used to attract an older audience. This summer, I decided to come every week there was even a relatively ambitious movie playing. As hard as I looked, there was never a worthwhile screen. read more

My friends and I have been going to the Dependable as often as possible over the last few years, and we have nothing but positive thoughts about this gem--basically nothing that the large majority of previous reviews haven't already mentioned. Our only real complaint is that the line-up hasn't been to our taste very much lately, but that's not really their fault. Anyway, I would like to point out a few things that I hope will help those looking at all these reviews and thinking about going to the Dependable for the first time. 1. The prices have gone up a bit over the past year. It's now (as a few reviewers have already stated) $8 for two movies. Still an excellent deal, considering most theaters now charge upwards of $10 for one. The concession prices have also gone up a little, but again, the prices are still great. 2. They recently changed their outside food policy, meaning outside food and drink are no longer permitted. 3. Employees drive around the lots on golf carts after the movies, looking for people who need a jump-start. If your battery dies, all you have to do is flag them down and they'll jump you, free of charge.They also have multiple sets of jumper cables at each concession stand. Just ask the person at the register and they will be happy to help you out. They're very used to batteries dying. read more

Definitely nice to see a movie you want to see and cheaper than regular theaters too! Plus, you may get lucky & see 2 movies if they're playing as a double feature, which i personally love. I've been able to bring my kids & have atleast the younger one fall asleep even to watch an adult movie afterwards. Also, this place is open year round!! read more

Typically do not have any issues comming to this drive in! The movie set up is great, but tonight I came across a worker who screamed at me and called me dumb. Nothing against the place but some workers need to know how to work with customer service better. read more

So I haven't gone to a drive in since I was 10 years old! Definitely didn't live up to my memories of a drive in but fun none the less. Last night was "date night" for my husband and I. We decided to try something different and drive an hour to go see a movie! lol Yea, I know it's a little ridiculous especially considering the movie we watched (Happy Feet Two lol... don't judge me!) but it was good change of scenery. First impression (1/5): It was so empty and beat up that I thought it was closed down. The place was in the middle of no where and it was definitely creepy. I was actually so creeped out at the beginning that during the movie I would periodically look around to see if a weirdo was lurking. Yes, I watch too many scary movies... Halloween just passed so I'll use that as an excuse as well. Movie quality (4/5): The sound was actually great but I guess that would depends on the type of car you have. There was a few times when the movies messed up but overall it was okay. I would recommend having a close parking spot. Experience (4/5): Even though it was creepy and it shattered my drive- in childhood memories, I still had a great time! I LOVE the fact that I was super comfy in the car and I could talk about the movie without getting embarrassed (yes, I'm one of those people). I could also dance and sing along to the movie... It was Happy Feet Two, I couldn't resist! One BIG factor that I didn't take into account was the fact that it gets cold once you turn off the car! Lol I'm from California so the drive-ins would never get too cold but the weather out here definitely didn't cross my mind. On top of all my craziness, it was only 13 bucks! Oh and by the way, you couldn't pay enough money to try anything from the refreshment stand. The place is way too emtpy to have anything fresh. If you have the urge to look at the expiration date on a box of candy, that usually means its not worth eating. One more thing... the website! Very very very bad and super cheesy! lol I kinda felt bad for the business because it seems like someone made it with the intent of grabbing someone attention but it was the exact opposite. It was waaay too much flashy stuff to look at so I just pressed that trusty red "x" at the top of the screen. read more

Out in the middle of nowhere, tucked in the hills between a series of weird little strip malls, you will find the Dependable Drive-In. And what a find! Notable features: four screens with mostly well-matched double features and a well-stocked snack bar (featuring standard movie-going fare, as well as red-blooded American favorites such as hoagies, pizza, and funnel cakes). Movies and fattening snacks; need I say more? No, but I will. Gather your friends, bring some fold-out chairs, and go there, if you have access to a car and money for gas. Tips: go on a weeknight, as weekends are crazy--like cars backed up a quarter mile on the road which turns into the drive-in. Google's directions (at least for now) say to turn right onto Moon Clinton Road from International Drive. Don't do that, unless you want to tour rural PA. Instead, turn left on Moon Clinton, and you'll find the entrance to the drive-in just a short distance ahead on your left. read more

Cannot rave highly enough about this place. My family have gone on more occasions than I can count and we've had an absolute blast each time. I love that it's an all-weather drive-in as it's sometimes nice to have a snuggly drive in date with your spouse in the wintertime. It's the only way we watch newly released movies during the warmer months. read more

4 Screens, open all year, cheap price, cheap snacks & double feature. Can't get no better than this! Fun for the entire family!

The first activity I've had during Covid with the exception of grocery shopping. Online they said they had regulations in place that I honestly didn't see encouraged let alone enforced. The staff member at the screen we were at didn't have a mask on -- he had to come ask us something and it made us uncomfortable that he wasn't wearing one and wasn't 6 feet away. Online it says you have to wear a mask going to/from concessions and the bathroom, which was not what people were doing when we arrived during daylight or at night once the movie was on. We saw people without masks on doing both of those thing. The drive in also posted a picture online showing their new format for spreading cars out but when we got there you could park anywhere and the staff member wasn't guiding anything. If you can go to the drive in and not leave your car for 4-5 hours, it's a low risk outing during Covid but they need to do better at enforcing what they're claiming they have in place for our safety. read more

A pretty nice place to catch a movie it has FM to connect with the movie which is great. The snack bar is reasonably priced and the line is short. The movie is also well priced and the staff is friendly. Although it was a great experience, there were some down sides... The line to get your tickets is really long even if you come early. And we were kind of rushed to get back to our car during intermission (we were seeing a double feature) they say it's ten minutes long when it's only really 5. And finally, we couldn't help but notice stray cats.... Yeah, you heard me, stray cats. I don't know if anyone else had this problem but there was two cats that kept walking around. We didn't go near them of course, but it was a little scary knowing that they could be run over by a car or be touched by a kid who didn't know what they were doing! I know this place is in the woods, but if there was any way that they could have been kept out, or you know, animal control being contacted, would have been better. read more

Loveeeeee this place! It's the perfect environment for a summer night out. The sound plays through your car speakers, and they also have speakers next to the parking spots as well. Sometimes, it's even loud enough coming from the cars around you. Last time I went though, the lady at the pay station told us the wrong radio station so we had to bother the people next to us for the correct one. Highly recommend though! Can't wait to go back! read more

DO NOT COME HERE. There I warned you. Terrible service, movie was hard enough to see as it is. The food lines take over an hour for a simple order of french fries (line wasn't long either). To say the bathrooms were dirty is an understatement. This was my first time here, and I was not exactly sure where to park. Immediately a worker came up to me and yelled, telling me to park somewhere else with an extremely inconsiderate tone. I will never come back here, not even for the best movie in the world on the nicest summer night. I suggest you all follow the same. read more

We have been going to Dependable Drive In since my children were toddlers - my oldest is now 23- we love it there ! Clean - friendly- and you can't beat the selection and the price for two movies!!!!! My oldest and I have even went there in the winter!!! We love it!!!!!! read more

Now having a baby, this is our go to for going out to the movies. We don't have to get a sitter or worry about disrupting other movie goers! read more

I have a complaint, and sent an email with no response. That was 1 year ago, i will NEVER GO BACK! Poor customer service!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will make sure all my frinds and coworkers know about their service... read more

This place was great! I love being able to use my own car speakers... It was great for me and my new wife while we were in town for our honeymoon! read more

I love this place! It's clean, and the food is good! The prices are nice and the rules are easy! Save your coupons for discounts and take advantage of the free things they do offer on your receipts. It's off of International Drive from the Moon township exit! You can fill up with the kids and make it a movie date! I take blankets, bug spray and chairs to enjoy the whole atmosphere. $7.50 isn't bad for 2 movies, they allow an awesome break in between the movies too. You can also do date night with your lover too, just you too, no interruptions from talking people or cell phones, go out and try it! It's the best! read more

So I guess beggars can't be choosers. The Dependable has always been ok. Now they have a policy against SUV's that secures all the best spots in the center theater position for cars. Time to walk up to the 21st century: We mostly have SUV's for our families. It was also kind of anticipated that when I posed the question to the Parking Commandant, "what's the color code about?" He answered with the classic righteousness of a person having a "power moment" - "It's about _cars_ and _SUV's_... _that's what it's about." (I guess he had _his_ day eh?). I hadn't been here for about 15 years - and I had a car so whatever I didn't know the policy. The Twin Highway was always nicer. I guess since this is the last one, they get the last laugh too. read more

Love going to Dependable!! Bring your own Pizza and beer and make a fun night out of it. Love going in the summer and being able to watch the movies under the stars. The speakers stink and the pictures not great, but it's still the best!! We're lucky to have a drive in!! read more

We have seen almost every movie out this year at Dependable Drive- In. This place rocks. My new husband loves to go here. The food is cheap and not bad tasting. The popcorn is the best i have ever tasted at the movies. Thinking about going tonight for Final Destination 5. read more

You better be a smoker if coming here. You cannot enjoy the fresh air on a nice summer night here. We smelled cigarettes and cigars the entire time. Everyone around us was smoking. We had to leave halfway through the first movie. Was really looking forward to enjoying the fresh air. I wish smokers were not so selfish. read more

I really enjoy the Dependable Drive-in. I've been there several times over the years. It's been quite awhile since i've visited since i moved out of states a few yrs ago. The last time i was there, they still used film projectors (which would fail in some way or another sometimes). They've since switched over to digital projection which offers a better quality, more reliable picture. I watched the new Ghostbusters movie there last night. The movie was good and there weren't any disturbances during the movie. The staff there is always helpful and polite....The concession stands offer a huge variety of snacks, food and drinks all at reasonable prices. The best part of the drive-in is the space/freedom you get. You're not confined to a small seat for hours. You can bring chairs to sit outside or sit in your vehicle plus if you have kids, you don't have to be super cautious about noise. I can't really speak to other Drive-ins, but Dependable is great. If you live close, its a no brainer. If you live further away, its worth the drive. Give them a shot vs going to a packed multiplex. read more

Tried to let my kids know what it was like when I was a kid. The guy at the gate had other plans. I understand it is busy but rude doesn't quite capture his customer interaction style. We won't be back. read more

If your in for multiple rednecks saying "oh" and "ahh" then don't come here. If you want to be some what normal you'll want to park in the back but on the other hand the rednecks are all in the front so I wouldn't recommend going in to uncharted territory. Eh movie was good though read more

Owner was extremely disrespectful to my family and I. Was very disappointed with the attitude of the workers. Except for the ones at the concession bar, they were nice. We were all very disappointed with this. Never coming back. Deserves 0 stars. read more

this place is awesome! rain or shine, all year round! food is great. just make sure you show up early enough to get a good spot! the only complaint i have is that its close to an airport, so you can hear airplanes flying overhead. (which is hilarious when im watching a scary movie and i nearly jump out of my seat) read more
