Fun Restaurant Question....

[ajrwdwgirl]

Just wanted to start a discussion....

Where do you think is the best place to eat at MGM? It can be sit down, counter service or snack cart.

Just wondering because I haven't really eaten at MGM except once at the Prime time and then chicken fingers at a counter service.

Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater is a fun place to have lunch
Mama Melrose has the best dinner menu IMO

I think the 50s Prime Time Cafe is by far the most fun, although Sci-Fi is fun too.

We never eat much at MGM but on this trip we had decided to try The Hollywood Brown Derby as a treat as it is so expensive. It was so incredible we had re-work reservations further down on our trip to make a second go of it. It is expensive but I really suggest if someone can swing it, to try it out. Things I had that I really liked were the Tuna which is crusted with seseme seeds and then cooked how you like (I had it really rare) and it is served with wasabi mashed potatoes. :slurp: Also, I had a soup as an apetizer but it was only there the first time we went but it was amazing, it was brie cheese soup with oysters. Amazing! If you go, and it is there try it. :slurp: My wife had for desert the Happiest Celebration on Earth desert (which is different in all the restaurants) which was an orange chocolate mousse in a chocolate shell. My daughter who said she did not want desert ate half of my wifes, so when we went back and she said no desert we got her one anyway which she did indeed polish off.

I have to say the Brown Derby was one of my best meals ever on property and in the real world as well.

We rarely eat at MGM, but we did enjoy Mama Melrose, Pizza Planet was just eh, but we were in a hurry and hungry.

Sci Fi is my favorite.

Sci Fi for me as well. Those old movie clips are so bad, they're actually funny.

My family and I cannot pass up Sci-Fi! The burgers, shakes, anything there is good, but the whole atmosphere is what gets me, it is just so different but incredible! I would recommend this place to anyone.

Sci-Fi... Theming is great, menu is delicious, and the servers rollerskate to your "car". Of note, they used to make an excellent breaded catfish sandwich with remoulade sauce. I think the menu has changed slightly this year, but still, it offers classics like burgers and Reubens, and a few interesting dishes. I've ended up getting filled up from the meal and not being able to eat dessert. This is a shame, since they have incredible desserts. Overall, kids enjoy the fact that you sit in a classic car with a dashboard table.

Count me in for Sci-Fi, as well. I just love the atmosphere and, as a Mystery Science Theater 3000 fan, the clips are fantastic!

I thought the dinosaur stand served ice cream or other 'like items. :slurp:

:slurp: It's a toss up between Sci fi and Mama Melrose's. The atmosphere in Sci Fi is great with the 50's cars and cool B movie flicks. If your looking for great italian - Mama's is your best bet if your in MGM. Of course if your looking for good old fashioned home cooking there is 50's Prime Time Cafe!

Brown Derby---Cobb salad is amazing

 

[MickeyMark]

Sci Fi for us too.

Definitely 50's Prime Time, and I just like a nice big turkey leg sometimes. :lol:

 

[momof2girls]

I'm so happy to hear all these good things about Sci Fi. We booked a dinner there one night and I was a little nervous! :lol:

Gertie -- one of the first animated characters ever. The film is on the WD treasures -- Disney Animation -- the one with the reluctant dragon on it.

Another vote for The Hollywood Brown Derby. Food was awesome, and our waiter was really attentive.
