"From the throwback ticket booths to the on-site retro-themed restaurant (appropriately named the 50’s Cafe), the theater is designed to evoke a sense of nostalgia, even for those too young to remember drive-ins. But don’t let the ambience fool you: This is also the only drive-in theater showing current wide releases, allowing you to watch films like Tenet or The New Mutants on the biggest screen possible in safe, outdoor spaces. Families will get a kick out of the ballpark staples offered at the 50’s Cafe, as well as the cardboard vintage cars that double as kiddie meal containers. If you’re not feeling traditional concessions food, you can always stop by nearby Buc-ee’s, located just one exit south on I-35. And while this spot is a fun all-around dining experience, there is one catch: Star & Stripes explicitly does not allow alcohol on its premises. That makes this drive-in perfect for a family outing or a new release, but perhaps slightly less appealing for those looking to elevate their living room movie night." - Matthew Monagle

Only Drive-In Theatre in the area running all year round! This was our first time going, and we will definitely be going back. Hard to see the entrance, so look out for the Stars & Stripes slightly lit sign. I purchased our tickets via the Stars and Stripes App - super simple $9.50 for adults with additional military/1st responder discounts and $6.50 for children. They also have a retro diner/concessions and an outside playground. Very memorable experience ✨️

It was a great experience. I haven’t been to the drive in since the early 2000s. Only advice I would say is to get there early to get a closer spot. If you park in the back the screen looks small and everyone has their back doors up so you can’t see anything. One problem we had was people talking the whole time during the movie and the staff didn’t do anything about it. If you want to enjoy a movie don’t come here there will be a lot of distractions (read the comments). If you want to go for the experience take a radio with batteries and arrive early. I would rather enjoy my projection screen outside my house than go here again.

I already can't wait to go back! We took our daughter for her 19th birthday and so many memories came flooding back to me from when I was a kid. This was such a great way to have her experience first hand something from my childhood. My husband hadn't ever been to a drive in before either so it was his first experience too. It made the whole thing so special. We watched The Joker 2 and had fun. I'm so excited to go back!

Going to a drive-in brought back memories for my wife and me, not only separately in our own childhoods, but we had a date before we were married at the Alamo Drive-in in San Antonio before it closed. The location is an hour drive from San Antonio, but we thought it was worth it. There are 3 screens, lots of spaces to park, you listen to the movie through your car radio, and if you don’t have a radio, you can rent one from the theater. They have a snack bar that is quite impressive, it rivals any indoor movie theater’s snack bar. If you order a meal you have to eat it at the snack bar. Popcorn and candy, sodas, and icees are available for purchase also, and those you can take back to your car. They allow outside food and drinks as long as you keep it in your car. It was an enjoyable experience, but only stayed for the main feature, as each screen has two movies showing each night. We will go again, maybe make it a reoccurring date night location.

It's honestly an amazing atmosphere. I love how they have their own radio station for the audio. The concession stand was spacious and very clean. The only issue I had was the people who kept driving by with the lights on but that's kind of expected.. I feel bad for not giving it a five star review

1st time here from San Antonio. Watched Moana 2. Weather was perfect. Brought lawn chairs, throw blankets, Bushs chicken tenders and drinks. Great family movie night.

This place is a great time for friends and family. Food is good - we especially enjoyed the funnel cake and Oreo milkshake! Clean facility and great customer service. It's clear that management/ownership cares about their customers. Will return and highly recommend to everyone!

Amazing and nostalgic. Family loves it. Bring your own snacks and has a full snack shop. My son loves the playground as well. If going on a weekend, I usually go pretty early cause we like to be up front so we can lay down an air mattress an my son can play in the grass in front of the screen.

Great experience!! Follow these tips & I think you'll enjoy as much as we did. 1) Get tickets online 2) Get there early to find good parking spot (newer movies means Get there earlier) 3) Bring comfy chairs and maybe a blanket (seasonal) 4) If you want food. Go get it after you park. There is usually a line. If you wait, the line will be 3x as long. Food quality is Good. So are the prices. The Spicy chicken wings, fries, and and cheeseburger were really good. Wasn't too impressed with the hot dog or the steak fingers.

This drive in theater is loads of fun. They have great food and drink options and pretty decent restrooms. I prefer coming here on weeknights as it gets crowded on weekends. The employees will jump your car with a portable jumper at the end of the movie if needed. Just sit tight and wait for the golf cart to come around to help after the show.

Such a fun drive-in! You can't beat 2 movies for the price of 1 and the diner is SO cute! Great diner food options, yummy popcorn and drinks.

Aida P.

First of all, I am glad we purchased tickets on their app because when we got there the screen that our movie was on was sold out. The website states you can't save parking spaces. Multiple parking spaces were being saved, so I am guessing there is no way to actually enforce that rule. Concessions: That line is super long!!!! You really need to get here when the Drive-in opens to make sure you have enough time to get concessions. Allergen Warning: I asked and was told that they use the same fryer to fry everything in, therefore I didn't get anything other than popcorn. Make sure to eat before coming or bring something to eat. Overall it was a good experience, though next time we will come more prepared food wise: we wanted to stay for both movies, but I was starving by the end of the first movie so we decided to leave early so I can get something to eat. The traffic to leave is very backed up, so be prepared to wait a while as you are leaving. We opted to not try to leave with the majority of the crowd.

Amazing day at the drive in! Very clean restrooms Very clean concession stand with very affordable prices !

Love going to the drive in! Getting here early is the key to get the best spot! Enjoy the selection of movies. The food is ok, but it would be best to stick to the snacks. We tried the burger, patty melt, and chicken strips. We will be back!

It's ok. People smoking and constantly turning on the head lights is annoying. You need take a portable radio if not you have to use your car radio.

LaMecia M.

Yelp
My biggest complaint about this drive-in is that they don't advertise enough. My husband and I lived less than 2 miles away and we only learned about it when we stumbled across a yard sign while riding our bikes. It's fairly easy to get in and park. People generally follow the etiquette rules for lights. Food court options weren't always appealing so we mostly come for the movies.

Yelp
The most relaxing movie experience. Double features Friday to Sunday. Admission is 9 a person. They offer car help for if you need it after the movie. There is a cafe and playground and very clean bathrooms. We love to come in the fall and tailgate. We often pick up dinner before coming and then enjoy it with our movie. The stars are so vivid out here I always enjoy looking up while we are out here.

Great place for a date and family night out a great atmosphere and vibe and they sure a double feature movies And snacks

What a fun experience! We went on a Monday night, so it wasn't busy at all. We picked a good parking spot close to the screen. We also brought lawn chairs to sit outside and to enjoy the Texas sunset; this is a popular option. The reason I'm giving this 4 stars is because it was difficult to hear the movie outside. It was really windy that evening, and unless we used the car radio, we could hardly hear the movie. The car was parked with the front facing away from the screen, so I had to crawl into the hatch back and turn on the car radio to hear the film. I was nervous about doing that because I didn't want the battery to die. Overall, it was a fun and affordable way to spend an evening. Recommended!

Silvestre H.

Yelp
This drive in is a musttt. It's a fun place for the family and an amazing spot take your date. There's plenty of snacks and food at the concessions. The concession also has a Fun park for kids as well. The restrooms are nice and clean too.

False advertisement. They can do limited menu on you without you knowing. And the limited menu is just junk food. Came here to eat dinner not movie snacks. They do not put this on their website which is misleading. So mad and they don't even care. I was looking forward to this place too.

Jennifer M.

Yelp
I love stars and stripes. My dog is not a service dog and it's okay cause he's allowed at stars and stripes as long as he's on a leash!! In addition we can eat in the 50s style concession or bring our own food. Is it the weekend and not sure how to spend your evening? A double feature is shown on the weekends at Star La and stripes

Liz O.

Yelp
My only complaint isn't at the facility or employees. The patrons: tie your hoods down, and keep your lights off. PLEASE. We always get here early enough to park in front, so I'm not even complaining for myself, but it's no wonder why some people parked and just brought chairs to the lawn. People have trunk doors that extend almost 90 degrees beyond the top of the car, and maybe they don't know about the string, but it seems pretty common sense. I do think there are reminders all over the website, but I'm not sure the trailers before the movie remind them to tie them down or they can possibly be asked to leave. I'd add that. Or maybe someone can come by prior to start of the show and 30 minutes after and ask those individuals to adhere to policy. I don't know, because staff shouldn't have to do that, but that's my only issue.

TERRIBLE OWNERS Clearly they didn't read their own website. As per the website, you may idle as long as you are not near anyone AND NO SAVING SPOTS! Being considerate, we parked next to another sedan and a trash can spot and got set up. As it turns out, the owners were using their employee's vehicle to reserve a spot for themselves. They then set up right in front of our car, and have the nerve to tell us to shut our engine off after we went out of our way to stay away from anyone that WE need to move, threatening to move us by force if we didn't. How oblivious do you have to be to your own rule? If you didn't save spots, we wouldn't have been next to anyone sitting outside. We paid good money and drove out of our way for an experience like the Stars n' Stripes in Lubbock. Clearly, they could learn a thing or two here.

Had never been to a drive-in theater before and I can't believe I went that long without this amazing experience. We watched Wonka and while this may be how it's usually done, I was enthralled by the fact that audio came through a radio station. I felt like a little kid just obsessing over a small technicality. The sound was great, not delayed at all and the screen was also amazing. The concession stand was also a highlight, as my wife and I got two slushies and a funnel cake (which was humongous). If you're in New Braunfels, you 100% need to watch a movie here.

Erika S.

Yelp
Love this! Best way to watch a movie and be comfy! Byob and Boyf! (Bring your own drinks and good) You can also get movie eats and treats at the 50s cafe! But a great way to bring kiddos and your 4leg kiddos too! don't love the food at the cafe but it works Bathrooms are easy Playground for while you wait Get there early for good seating (movie starts at 8:55? Get there at 7!)

Benjamin A.

Yelp
The owner used to run a great place... the last few times I've gone he doesn't enforce the parking rules allowing the larger vehicles on the front rows blocking other vehicles...I guess if you have a smaller car don't waste your time or money... they don't seem the care anymore!!!

Jose C.

Yelp
Ah the good ole Stars and Stripes movies. I brought my nephew, daughter and girl here for their first time. They all loved it! It was a nice breezy night to enjoy the movies outside. My daughter asked why we were watching movies outside, but then she said she loved it. Coming here is so much more enjoyable than be restricted to seating that's so tight and next to a stranger. You can bring your own chairs, drinks, snacks, even food. You spend a lot less coming here than going to an over priced theater.

Hands down one of my favorite things to do is go to a drive in and bring up those old nostalgic feelings. Not to mention, watch a movie or two. I love the double features and I don't believe we've ever had an issue with being able to see any of the screens. The snack area has always looked clean and kept well plus the prices are very good. I never feel like I have to take out a loan for some snacks. The restrooms are also usually kept up with pretty well too and there are plenty of stalls. Wait to get tickets or check-in can be a little bit of a wait but it's worth it. Staff is always friendly!

First time at this drive in and it was a good experience. I arrived about an hour before my showtime. I wasn't in line more than five minutes to get in. The grounds are very clean and the 50s cafe is HUGE! I didn't grab food this time but the menu seems pretty decent. Social distancing is enforced. Every other spot is open and marked with a red dot. This was very nice as they allow you to sit outside your vehicle if you'd like. I've been to Rooftop Cinema at Fiesta Texas where you must sit in your car and parked right next to someone. They ask that you not run your vehicle if the party next to you is sitting outside their vehicle. I totally get that but it's kind of annoying to have to hear the airplanes from the airport near by. That's my only issue but wouldn't be a deal breaker for me. If it's something you can't get over I wouldn't visit. Not exaggerating- the plane circled over AT LEAST ten times during the first movie. Maybe this isn't an every night thing. I'll update when I visit again. Restroom was very big and clean. There's a large patio outside the cafe. The playground is closed right now due to Covid-19. Mandatory mask enforced as well.

This was a fun impromptu weeknight outing for a few carloads of our friends. Like ok sure the visual quality is not gonna wow u the way it might in a theater ( and I need to clean my windshield better) but it was fine & tuning in via the radio station sound was excellent. Staff was nice & I appreciated that the restrooms were very tidy. We brought our own dinner so didn't try snack bar. The area was clean & big & the playground cute.

Yelp
We really enjoyed an evening at Stars and Stripes. Radio system was great and the screen was large enough. I love that they encourage bringing your own snacks and also have a diner with some decently priced options. Line to get in was long but took no time at all. Employees were wearing face masks and social distancing was enforced. You can't beat the cost! Military discount available. The weather was perfect, so we brought our camping chairs and sat outside our truck but it was hard to hear over all the cars running. A few employees gave them warnings but their last warning came in the last 20 minutes of the movie. Overall, a wonderful experience!

2nd visit here. Amazing thing to be able to do with kids/grand kids. They love it here. The playground, the food, the outdoor screens. It leaves them in awe ever time. I couldn't be happier to be able to do something without breaking the bank with as many people as we always take with us. Last night there was 9 of us and we still stayed under $125 for food/drinks and tickets. Not a bad family outing. There is plenty of security/police patrol. People are respectful of the experience. The employees all seem to love their jobs! Amen to that these days. The manager was super friendly to everyone including her co-workers. That's an A+ for sure. This is a great place to come for a bargain price compared to a regular theatre. If I lived closer, I would prolly bring the fam weekly, or at least until we ran out of movies to see. The only Con was the line for food before the movie started. But that's why you should show up early and just know it's nothing they can control. But the line moves quickly as they have a lot of cashiers taking orders.

We drove here for a double feature from West San Antonio, approximately 45 minutes. When we arrive, we notice a sign saying "No Idling if parked near other sitting outside, diesel engines must be off." OK, I don't drive a diesel, and they do produce an inordinate amount of smoke. Turns out, they mean all engines, gasoline and diesel. Hmmm....but the way you get sound for the movie is through your FM radio, right? On none of their online advertising do they state patrons need to bring their own, battery powered radio. Two more PSAs during the previews state no idling is allowed during the movie. I go inside to the concessions area and behold, they rent radios: $10 for the rental, a $20 deposit, and you must leave your driver's license at the concessions stand for God knows who to duplicate and use the audit number for identity theft. I ask to speak to a manager. I explain I'm happy to present my ID so she knows I'm using my own credit card, but I'm uncomfortable leaving my ID in their possession out of my site. "Sorry, can't rent the radio then." Ok, I then ask how people were supposed to know to bring a radio separate from the one in their vehicle to a drive in theater. "What do you mean, you can use your car's radio, that's fine." I explain to her the policy adverised is no vehicles are to idle during the movie. "Yes that's right." "Well how am I supposed to have sound for more than 30-45 minutes if running my radio on my car's lead acid battery?" "Oh some people's vehicles can last the whole movie." "No, " I explain to the 16 year old manager, "there is no vehicle that can run a radio through a three hour double feature without going dead, without starting your engine every 20-25 miniutes to run for 3-5 minutes to recharge the battery, except maybe a Tesla which is all battery. No internal combustion vehicle can do that." My daughter really wanted to see the movie, so we tried for about 30 minutes. During this time I was trying to see if they streamed the sound over ip so we could at least use my iphone to hear some of the movie once I had to turn off the radio so we could start the engine again, but no, they don't, would probably cost too much or require an IT employee earning a living wage. What the hell? Back in the day the old drive ins used to provide a speaker you hooked to your window. If they're not going to provide that, they should prominantly display in their advertising to bring a battery powered FM radio from home. Only reason this is not a one star review is they did refund our admission when we finally had to leave (as soon as I started my engine after 30 min of running on battery the woman next to us almost jumped through my window screaming "TURN OFF YOUR ENGINE!!!". Don't waste your time with this place, or if you do, bring a battery power FM radio and prepare to be underwhelmed by the visual experience on these tiny screens.

Great drive in always great events and old timely fun. Would recommend especially for the old 50's drive in feeling. Only complaint is I wish they would drive around and police better because often it smells like cigarettes and that's nasty. Overall 5 stars though love this place!

Really nice place to watch a movie! Different options and super nice staff, prices are good and clean bathrooms! Definitely coming back

Melissa B.

Yelp
This spot is the perfect place to go as a family, be able to watch an actual movie but not stress about kids needing to be quiet and sit still. I was so surprised at how inexpensive the dining is here compared to standard theaters. They have a great playground that my kids didn't want to leave to get back to the movie. I suggest going an hour or so prior to the movie starting to let the kids play on the playground while you order some food to take back to your spot for the movie. Even though it's hot in Texas, depending upon the wind it can be a little chilly so consider bringing a blanket or jacket.

Vanessa F.

Yelp
Had an awesome time here. There were alot of bathrooms and it was kept clean. Lots of employees in the food area and the pets were taken and given quickly within the 10 minute intermission between movies. Plenty of parking and a well kept lot. We will definitely be going back again.

I've been waiting to return to a drive-in theater for quite some time, and Stars and Striped provided that opportunity with Spider-Man: No Way Home. I'm old enough to remember the Mission Drive-In in South San Antonio along with the speakers that you could grab and attach to your window. I'm not sure at what point drive-in movie started playing via FM radio, yet it was great when that happened for all of the reasons having to do with the heat in South Texas. Fast back forward to today and the longest drive ever to get to and from a movie. While it was cool, it was a cold and rainy night which made keeping the window clear quite the challenge once we closed the cracked windows due to rain coming in. I did love that the vehicles were parked on a perch that tiled up toward the screen. For the vehicles in front of me that didn't tie down their rear tail lift, it didn't block my view. I'll say this though, if you're having issue with your radio, bring an actual FM weather radio as a back-up. In the cold and rain, between turning on the car here and there to clear the window, we lost audio several times. We conserved the battery, yet others did need a jump after the movie. I tried to download a few digital FM tuners on my cell phone, yet the reception in the boonies was impossible, so the audio was the worse you can imagine. What is cool is that you can bring your own food in. So, we made a stop at the place with the beaver, grabbed some roadside din and snacks, and enjoyed ourselves before the show. Thanks for having those trash cans super close by. I'll probably make it out for another movie, yet I'll be better prepare next time. For tonight, the single movie showing was perfect since the drive to and from Stars and Stripes from my side of San Antonio made for about a 90-110 minutes round-trip. I can't imagine that drive after a double-feature! Zzz!

LOVE this place! Of course the movies are mostly older movies but not a problem because it is still fun. Tickets were inexpensive! $7 for my car. The concession stand was cute and clean! The theater was practicing safe social distancing and limiting the amount of people that were allowed in at a time. There was one parking spot between each car which I thought was a great idea! It was not too packed for a Wednesday night during quarantine! I paid $13 for a regular popcorn, pretzel and cheese, and a small drink. The food was really good and fresh. The aesthetic is so cute and very 60s Grease era drive in. There is a playground but due to safety precautions it was closed! We had a lot of fun just getting out of the house! Once things reopen 100% this place will be amazing to come and enjoy. Will definitely come back when I get the chance!

This is one of the worst movie experiences we have ever had. We have been coming to this drive in for years and have always thoroughly enjoyed it but at our last visit it was a far cry from enjoyable. The entire movie a teenager drove around on a golf cart monitoring to make sure nobody had their vehicles turned on. We purposely parked at the end of the row around others that had their windows rolled up with their ac running so as to not disturb anyone that does enjoy watching the movie outside. I understand that some people like to sit outside of their vehicles to go to the movies but the majority of people prefer to go and sit in the car with their own families. Maybe you should consider having designated areas for those who choose to sit outside their vehicles and those that sit inside. My daughter is allergic to mosquitoes and we did not bring bug spray as we are usually able to sit with the windows rolled up. It is also 90* at 9:00pm in the summertime in TX. So sitting through a movie at those temps while getting eat up by mosquitoes and having to worry about whether or not the battery on your vehicle is going to die, while other people are walking around outside of your windows making noise so that you can't even hear the movie, DOES NOT make for an enjoyable movie watching experience. For the price we pay to watch a movie at the drive in, we will just go to a regular theater. At least we will have air conditioning and quiet to watch our movie. And our vehicle will start when it is time to leave. As sad as it is we WILL NOT be back!!!

Very chill, simple and nice place to watch a movie. Clean snack/food lobby and restrooms.

awesome place we saw guardians at. stuff was super affordable and the picture quality was nice. had a very cute and thorough theme throughout. the radios were much too expensive and the audio wasn't the best, so it was harder to take the movie as seriously i believe.

Was researching this place before my trip. Had a great experience. I usually fall asleep on movies but this was a great time for me and my family . Would go here a couple times a month it was in my city . Thank you

This was super cool and different! Two movies for the price of one, and you can bring your own food and snacks?? Now that's a deal. You can even bring your pets, as long as they're in the car or on a leash near you when watching the movie. This place is fairly new so everything is clean and dandy. The 50's cafe is pretty big and the restrooms in the building are clean! I'm all for clean restrooms. I suggest buying the tickets in person because they do charge $2 online for servicing fees, if you want to save a little. They also tell you to come 45 min early so you can get your food in the restaurant since the lines can get pretty long and also so you can find a good screen area. I had a blast bringing my two doggos, husband, and lots of snacks!

I really, really wanted to love this place. We went during Spring Break (March 15 and we went in the evening (it was pretty cold this particular night). We arrived pretty early and decided to get some food. The wait in line wasn't bad at all. I ordered some wings. THE WINGS WEREN'T EVEN COOKED ALL THE WAY!! I immediately spit them out. When it came time to watch the movie....YOU CAN BARELY HEAR THE MOVIE! So my kids and I set up our chairs in the cold and watched it but we still could barely hear the movie! Such a disappointment my kids lost interest after 20 mins. Basically a waste of time and money. Wish our experience was better.

Amazing place to go with your family and friends to see a great selection of movies. It also has an old school feel to it that makes it a great spot!

Make sure to get there at least an hour early to get the best spot.. Such a a great time with the family and kids.. we enjoyed everything about it. The restrooms were clean and a cute playground for the kids while you wait for the movie to start.. You can bring your own snacks and drinks. Make sure to bring cooler just no glass allowed.. Definitely a must experience with your kids..

Came here with the bf a few weekends ago when we were in town. Neither of us had ever been to a drive-in theater before, so we figured we would stop by here for a movie. We didn't know that your ticket admission also allows you stay for a double feature at the same screen, but since we only really wanted to watch one movie in particular (Ford Vs. Ferrari, which we thought was quite fitting as we were in Texas and all), we didn't know beforehand and honestly weren't too bothered by it, as it was only $8 a person for adults. You're given a fact sheet, on what radio station you should be tuned into in order to pick up the audio from the movie you've selected to watch. There is a concession area with bathrooms as well, though you can bring in outside food as well. Be considerate of your neighbors, sit back, and have a nice retro experience here. Bonus: there's not too much light pollution here, as you would expect at a drive-in theater, so on clear nights, you can get great views of the stars and other celestial bodies above.

Don't listen to these reviews.... The picture quality is atrociously bad.... Dark scenes have no HDR so you're not able to tell anything on the picture.... Also ppl don't follow rules and you'll see lights hit the projector screen at times... car alarms going off.... Overrated AF! Also the food is cold and mediocre and the icee machine isn't anything.... What a letdown of an experience and the last time I'll probably go to a drive in theatre ever again.... If you care about sound and picture quality DO NOT COME HERE!!!!!!

Stars and Stripes is my favorite place to see movies! The experience is just so fun! The ticket prices are cheaper than normal movie theaters, and their café pricing is the same way! Plus you get sooo much food for a great price. The drive-in is especially nice during covid times but I love going anytime. My boyfriend and I would prefer to make the drive from South Austin to New Braunfels instead of just hopping over to a movie theatre close to us..it's just that worth it! Highly recommend!

Driving here I was expecting it to be not so great. There was tons of construction and the roads were jacked up... until the final straightaway. Once we got close I was so incredibly impressed. Smooth roads, nice ticket booths to drive up to, and then we went inside. The parking lots were amazing. They're rounded and curved like waves almost to allow cars to sit higher than the ones in front of them. The diner had great food and a huge selection. The playground was even better! My kids didn't want to leave the playground to watch the movies, but we made them anyway. You do have to rent a $10 speaker to hear the movie. You're not allowed to idle your vehicle, which sucks. Either bring your own radio or the east $10 speaker will definitely do the trick. We had five people in hammocks and camping chairs and the speaker was perfect for us all. I would definitely visit this place again. I've been to many drive-ins, and this one is one of the best.

One of my more favorite movie theater experiences. Can't beat the double feature two movies for the price of one. The food in the cafe is not half bad either, the hamburgers nachos & corn fritters are all extremely delicious. You can enjoy the movies from your car or you can do what we do and bring lawn chairs blankets or what have you and enjoy the movie from the Great Outdoors Why four stars and not five: one of the rules of the drive-in is people who open their trunk are not supposed to raise it above the height of their car and they often do which blocks the people behind them. We've been on the receiving end of that one too many times and if you mention it to an employee they don't seem to care.
