    I voted for Excellent!

    An unbelievably good theme! I always get the hamburger with a milkshake. The hamburgers are very good. The theme is the best part though. You've got to check it out!

    I gave the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater the lowest possible score, although the theming is worthwhile. Unfortunately, the food is so bad I cannot recommend the restaurant. If you really want to have the experience, which I would suggest if you extra time, go at a weird hour and just order a milkshake. Otherwise, use your valuable meals elsewhere.

    I voted average cause I do go at the odd times to enjoy the theme, the air conditioning and the milkshake ans fries. That is the way to enjoy Sci-Fi

    Default I enjoyed every bite.

    I have to admit the food is not the best on site but it was good quality, hot and served a great themed restaurant. We ordered burgers, fries, chicken fingers, soda and great shakes. One of our girls cracked a joke to our server and he came back with a back seat drivers licenses for them. Something they talk about 2 years later. The movies bring me back to Saturday matinées. It's a don't miss.

    My kids and DH love SciFi. And they had some good food here. I unfortunately did not. This time I will stick to the burgers and shakes that they enjoyed so much.

    That being said, this is the one restaurant that they have asked to return to this year.

    Overall, I gave it an excellent- because my kids are making me.......

    We always enjoy the Sci-Fi!
    The key to this restaurant is to order something appropriate to the themeing. By that I mean just like you wouldn’t order fish sticks at Victoria & Albert’s, who the heck would order sautéed pork medallions at a drive-in? Here, like at Prime time, you have a lot more fun you play along.

    Default Love it!

    We love this place!
    Sure the food is "OK". But the themeing and atmosphere here is just incredible.

    We love it so much in fact, we actually sought out some of the horrible films that they play and host a B Movie night at our house now. Too much fun!

    I rated it as Average because Poor said...
    "Don't waste your time with it"

    The food is pretty poor, IMHO BUT it's worth going for the atmosphere alone.

    You can order just an appetizer or dessert and experience it that way if you wish. That's what we do.

    The food is OK but, in my opinion, you don't go anywhere in WDW just because of the food. You go for the experience and theming, and this place has got it!

    Loved the onion rings and artichoke dip. The only negative was how dark it was. A bit too dark for these eye to read the menu. I would definitely go again but take a small flashlight.

    I've been there several times. Sometimes were just average. The last time was great. We were a party of 5 and the car we got was 3 rows, so I opted to sit solo in the rear as my nerves were shot from dealing with my DS (5). The waiter saw the exhaustion on my face and brought me the most fabulous and extremely large cocktail. By the time our food arrived (I got the Reuben which was yum) I was perfectly content to sit by my lonesome in the back row enjoying my drink, my food and extra attention from my waiter. But I agree...atmosphere is the pull at Sci Fi. We try to go every trip.

    I gave it an average, Great theme/so-so food.

    I like the theme...it's a very cool restaurant but I guess I have something against eating in the dark. I haven't enjoyed my food both times I've been there. We just got back from WDW two days ago and we ate there on this trip. My hamburger was very undercooked. I ended up not eating it and snacking on some fries. My 11 year old niece who was with us really enjoyed it though.

    I voted excellent. Don't remember what we all ate, but do remember that we all really enjoyed our food. I had the salmon. As I don't really like fish I have to say this dish was great. DS had a burger and just loved it also. Have no idea what DH ate. We sat at the back at the picnic tables, but we did not have reservations and just walked up and in for dinner. This was in May 06. My only complaint was that it was FREEZING in there. I was dressed for the hot weather outside and was frozen inside. DS wanted to eat there again on this past visit, but we were trying out new places this time round, but would highly recommend eating there at least once.

    I gave it an average. It has very mediocre food but awesome atmosphere! We like going there to get out of the heat. It's fun!

    I gave it an average as well. I like the atmosphere but the food definately leaves something to be desired. We were also in the back when we went so it didn't really feel like the drive-in. I would go once for the atmosphere or maybe to get shakes but that's about it.

    I gave it poor the food is awful while the atmosphere is great. I would rather have a burger at Backlot Express than spend twice as much for the same quality burger. It's basically an overpriced CS location.

    I gave it a poor. We have only been once, and it was the absolute worst food I've had on WDW property. The only plus was the atmosphere. I did like that!
