Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater RestaurantTable serviceAbout Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater RestaurantSit indoors at tables made up like covertibles parked at a faux drive-in theater while dining on more sophisticated entrees than the '50's theme would suggest. The Sci-Fi is a hard restaurant to rate. The atmosphere is top-notch, the food anything but -- except for dessert. But it is something everyone should do once, just for the experience. Of course, they always say to do what the regulars do, which would be to just go for dessert. -- Read Kevin Baxter's complete review [Update this description | Read previous versions] Photos from Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant
Readers' Opinions
Good. I've had excellent service every time I've eaten here. Try the old-fashioned cherry Coke, or one of the milkshakes, along with a simple meal. Avoid the pastas. The movie loop is not long enough, and you're likely to see repeats, but the atmosphere is cool and soothing, especially if you book your reservations late (post-Fantasmic!). The Amazing Colossal Man features an hilarious moment at which a giant syringe is thrown through a doctor. At that instant during one of my trips, some smart-@ss did a mock scream and the whole restaurant lost it. Sure enough, when the scene came around again, half the restaurant did their impressions of a screaming doctor. - Joshua Counsil Always fun. The movie loop could be a little longer. - Jennifer Capps There's something quite bizarre about the whole experience, but I say bizarre in fun way. I do agree with the sentiment that the film loop could be extended to take in a full average meal. However I can see the point of not making it too long or they would never get folk to vacate the cars. Didn't manage in there this year but I'll be back. - Andy Stevens I tend to go here whenever I go out to this particular park. Most of the other dining places don't quite have that kind of interesting charm that Sci-Fi Dine-In does. Sit in a car, get your food brought to you, watch clips of old horror movies. Something about it strikes me as fun, and I'm not technically old enough to appreciate the old movies. - Eric Malone The best themed restaurant you can ask for of ANY Disney park. I would say that popularity is soaring to the point that this once hidden gem now required reservations. Still, it is worth it, as the service is top-notch, the food is delicious and the atmosphere is unlike any other. - Wilfredo Alvelo Ok, so they recently changed the menu for dinner and it is too upscale. The menu needs to be changed back to reflect the setting. I LOVE the theme! One of my favorite WDW eateries! They need to turn the sound back up on the movies though. - Mark Hollamon Desserts are overated! Got an ice cream sundae, and most of it was whipped cream! - Greg Bark
