Chief Drive In

Two empty cups in the drink holder (one was a trash cup for receipts and wrappers). Because of this, we were forced away and told to never come back. If you are going to drive this far to support a small town business, don't bother, just head to Tulsa and visit the Admiral Twin. MUCH nicer establishment, enough workers for the concession stand and the screens appear more clear than this joke. Do better or sell your business to someone who actually cares about the customer experience.

Chief Drive-In Theatre was an absolute blast and still the best movie experience in the state if you ask me! Thank you for some great memories and amazing movies!

****UPDATED TO ADD THAT THE OWNER OF THE ESTABLISHMENT REMOVED MY TAG TO THE BUSINESS AND BLOCKED ME, SO HE DOESN'T GET RHE BAD PUBLICITY.....IF YOU'RE GOING TO TREAT PEOPLE THAT WAY, BE READY TO OWN IT! So tonight we decided to take the kids for their very first drive in movie experience!!! They were so pumped! Packed blankets and pillows and waited all day. We left to go have dinner in chickasha at chick fil a. I saw online the drive in has a concession BUT I didn't know if it was actual food or just snacks. I told the girls we would visit the concession for snacks if they ate their dinner. We left chick fil a and pulled up to the drive in. I waved my $20 out the window at Chief Drive-In Theatre and told the man hello! He asked if I had ever been before, to which I told him no. He said well I'm going to need those 2 cups out of your cup holder bc we don't allow outside food or drink. I said oh ok, they're trash, so sorry about that. While I'm handing him the cups he asks where we are from, I tell him minco and he looks at the chick fil a cups and throws his hands up at me and says you can go right on back to where the hell you came from, I hate chick fil a!I was taken a back and said are you serious? He said hell yes I am serious!!! He began to scream at me and tell me he has signs in the pull up that say no drinks and he didn't want my money, I could pull up and go left and get off his property. (Mind you... as he's screaming, my 7 YO is in the front seat watching this all unfold) My friend in the car behind me pulled up and he told her if she's with me, she can leave also.... He told her chick fil a doesn't pay him to throw their trash away...I'm so appalled... I did a Google review and letting you all know to never go there.... My kids were heart broken... we went down the road to the local theater and watched the same movie at the same time but they didn't get the experience. Chickasha doesn't have a happenings page or I would be putting it there also. It's sad this is what our world is coming to... just trying to take my kids to a kids movie....

The owner was incredibly rude. We had empty cups in our car and he told us to go home. We threw out the drink cups in front of him and everything and his exact words were I'm done with you go home.

If I could leave zero stars, I would. What started out as a fun evening with the fiancé and two friends for a double date ended with the night ruined and everyone going home to do nothing. We pulled up and were gruffly greeted by who we assume to be the owner. He told us we'd have to throw our drinks away in order to enter. Not exactly eager to see money down the drain, I'm guessing we weren't quick enough to just hand over our unopened beverages to be trashed, and he lost his patience, ordering us to roll down our window for an inspection, at which point he walked around our car, threw my card back in my face and handed me a refund, short of a dollar, and told us to "shove those cans up [my] ass" and "get the fuck out of my driveway"I get that some places have policies about outside food or drink, but my fiancé's best friend is now in the back seat of my car, crying her eyes out because a grown man straight up yelled at us over a fucking beverage. Being prior military, being yelled at doesn't faze me, but she isn't used to that kind of unhealthy behavior. If anything, we feel he was already mad at another patron for the same "infraction" and thus, took it out on us. Regardless, the attitude makes it hard for us to emphasize for his "plight."He told us "don't come back."Don't worry, we won't!

I was so excited to take my great niece and nephew to the drive in here in Chickasha tonight to watch Abigail. We drive to the gate to pay and went to throw an old restaurant cup away cause I didn't want them to think we were sneaking it in (I have heard to many horror stories) and the owner literally yelled at me to not throw it away and take it home. He said he does not get paid by that restaurant to throw their trash away. He said just take your cup and leave. Waiving his hands and saying it over and over that he doesn't want us there. He was so rude and hateful. The kids were so confused and did not understand why we had to leave. I have been going to this place since my girls were little and so around 20 years. We were all ready to spend money at the concession. I will never go back. I know everyone has a bad day but how is throwing a cup away in the trash can before I even enter by the sign that says "no outside food or drink" make someone behave this way? I have heard so many stories of him behaving this way this is the first and last time for me. NO ONE deserves to be treated that way.

STAY AWAY! Wish I could leave a review with less than one star. Husband and I were threatened by the owner for bringing in two Sonic waters. My husband and I decided to drive out from OKC to have a nice date night. Pulled up and payed no problem! About 15mins before the movie was about to start, the owner knocks on our window to let us know that we had accidentally left the lights on. No big deal, right? Husband goes up to turn the lights off when the owner notices that we have two Sonic cups in our car (the pregnancy craving for crunchy Sonic ice is real). He IMMEDIATELY starts yelling and calling us "f*cking lying thieves", and kicks us out. We reluctantly agree and husband politely asks the man for our money back. After the owner said "hell f*cking no", he approached our car and told my husband to get out so that they could "throw hands". We left before anything got too aggressive... never going back. Highly recommend you go to literally any other drive-in in Oklahoma.

This was our first and last visit to this place! We drove over an hour and a half to visit this establishment. We met my brother and his family and our daughter and her boyfriend (total of eight people and a young child) here so we could hangout and watch the movies. Well, needless to say we had outside pizza boxes and smoothie cups in our vehicle that we had purchased when we got to town at 6:40ish to eat before going to the drive in. Our 2 1/2-year-old was finishing his food and we were finishing our smoothies when we got in line at 6:50ish. Since this was our 1st visit ever, we were not aware of the signs at the entrance to the line to get in saying "No Outside Food or Drink Beyond This Point" which literally means to them you cannot even have food or drink in your possession while waiting in line for the gates to open and pay your entry fee at the booth. We had no idea finishing our smoothies or our son finishing his food while waiting in line and then having the empty boxes and cups in our car would be a huge problem. Our smoothie cups were actually in the cupholders in the front seat of our truck. When we got to the gate to pay, the gentleman was nice we informed him it was our 1st time to this drive in and he was very considerate explaining about the nonsmoking rows, concession, radio station, etc., he said nothing to us about outside food or drink and our empty cups were right there and our youngest was in the backseat with the box lid we used for a plate in his lap with a small slice of pizza he was eating on it. We went in and within about 15 minutes were approached by a worker and owner saying they saw my husband throwing away a pizza box in their trash. Well of course he threw the trash away. They proceeded to accuse us of bringing in outside food and drinks and lying to the guy at the front about having outside food or drink when he did not even ask us. If he had asked, we would have told him yes and gladly have given him all our trash except our son's food. They were aggressive and rude. I happily cleaned out the truck of ALL food boxes and cups while they stood there and watched. I am surprised they did not make us throw my son's insulated drinking cup away that we take with us in the vehicles. I was honestly shocked and tried to explain where we drove from and that we ate and drank the items before coming through the gate except our son that was still eating his pizza when we were paying at the gate. They did let us stay after we stated we were fine leaving if that is what they wanted, but it was uncomfortable, and they continued to police the parking lot until after the movie started at 9:00ish...CRAZY!! I get the policy and fully understand the need to make money but come on with young kids it is difficult to travel without water bottles and drinks on hand or even to not have some sort of food boxes/bags in your car these days. If you do go BE SURE TO RID your car of ALL OUTSIDE food establishment trash.As a group we spent $64 to enter plus three buckets of popcorn, five drinks, and other food, and candy that was purchased. Guess it was all worth losing our business and recommendations all for food trash from a family visiting from out of town.

So sad I'm writing this review.We've been driving down to this drive in for over 3 years. Sometimes we would come specifically for the burgers. The past 6 months, they have been unable to keep up with the increased business and have asked people to be patient. Our food orders have gone from 20 minutes to over an hour. Fine.We went this past weekend after a baseball game. It was 104 degrees on Saturday. When I paid, the attendant asked me to roll down my window so he could check the back seat... ok. I obliged. We were relatively close to the front of the line. We got in and the line for concession stand was already long. My son simply wanted something to drink (we've started eating before going lately, because the food is declining and taking forever). It was so hot and he was so sweaty, I finally pulled his water bottle out of his baseball bag and told him to fill it in the bathroom. He came back with hot water. He got in the concession stand line and it took 45 minutes just to reach the building. If you cannot accommodate the crowds and provide water for patrons.. you need to allow for a cooler fee. I'm all about supporting local businesses and paying what is required, Denying people access to water should be criminal. You have young children, breast feeding mothers and elderly patrons in summer heat.We will unfortunately not be back. I cannot, in good faith, continue to support this business practice. Winchester and Beacon both do cooler fees, and that is where we will be going from now on.

Giving this drive-in a 0 for customer service. I'll take full responsibility for violating no outside food or drink. The employee asked at the gate and we gave him what we had. He went on a rant about branded cups. We had TWO outside water bottles. Sorry, i'm not sorry, i'm not going to detail my car for drinks and snacks, I have children in tow! Our families combined spent $60 at the concession stand and $50 in admissions. The water bottles we had may have been a loss of $2 to the establishment. He also accused us of having outside popcorn when it was actually an outside Tupperware to share the $10 popcorn bucket we bought at the concession stand! (Silly, right? but that's how out of control he was!!!). The issue isn't the food/drink policy, it's the way the matter is handled. I read prior reviews and it's clear there is an employee (or possibly an owner) who is known for his belligerent reaction to outside food or drink. We had five children there to witness these actions. You can pull any policy or video footage you want, you don't come up to paying customers (especially with children) and start grabbing their stuff, making accusations, telling them to leave, and they are trespassers OVER WATER BOTTLES! We weren't trespassing by the way, we paid full admission. To give other reviewers any indication of how ridiculous this man is, our 4 year old referred to him as a bully, and rightfully so. I understand you have to protect your business, but there are better ways to handle this situation. This man is hostile and really showed my children (and reminded me) how hateful and ugly people can be. Maybe there should be a sign at the front of the theater along with the no food and drink sign that says: "Violators will be harassed and disrespected regardless of whether you are a paying customer." For anyone wishing to go to the theater, be careful and aware, especially if you have children. A thought for the $$$ collected at the concession stand, do yourself, your business, and future customers a favor, put it towards a training on customer service or hospitality. There is no reasonable excuse for this type of behavior. I don't need a response from the establishment, it's clear you're lacking in taking ownership for your volatile actions.Again, the no food policy isn't the issue. The way the owners handle themselves is problematic. The way they refuse to take ownership for their actions is problematic. The way they talk to paying customers is problematic. There is a better way to handle this situation to not realize this after the many confrontations I've read below, and experienced myself last night, is terrible. No one should ever have to be on the receiving in of such hateful and irrational behavior. THERE'S NO EXCUSE FOR IT. Unacceptable and not good business. Value customers. I take full ownership of having outside drinks and I will take full ownership of some choice words exchanged. I don't apologize. To get respect you have to show respect... Should consider changing the drive in name too. From where I come from a Chief is far more respectful, honorable, and of more importance than this business.Do better.
