Just putting it out there, Sci Fi Dine In, anyone else feel like this?

[Mandyb4]

I've noticed that we keep coming back to this particular restaurant each time we visit DHS. The food is good, but not great, and the variety is not there. I really think it's just the atmosphere that draws us in.

Here's a quick review of our last visit here ( with pics). http://tinyurl.com/o7947gl

Let me know if you feel the same way!

We are pretty much in the same camp. The atmosphere is great, but the food is not much better than one of the QS locations.

I have a blast everytime we go there, milkshakes are pretty good.

We did SciFi for the first time in March. DH and I loved the atmosphere and agreed the food was "ok" (like you said). I'd love to go back but while we liked it, DS7 was terrified of the old campy monster movies on the screen. It kind of shocked us honestly but 5 minutes into our stay he moved to the back seat of the car next to daddy (where he was behind my head) so he couldn't see. LOL

Oh yes I loved my milkshake!

Yup. For us there are restaurants that aren't just about the food. Sci Fi is one of those. The food is good enough to keep coming back but the atmosphere just puts the experience over the top.

We go in the afternoon and ONLY get milkshakes. Allows us to cool off a bit and enjoy the place without paying too much.

The burger I had there was better than any qs one I had tried (not amazing by any means, but at least it was cooked medium, and not blackened). I love the atmosphere.

 

[PrincessNelly_NJ]

100% agree. The food is nothing special but we go anyway. Sci-fi Dine was one of my earliest memories of Disney with my parents, and so it holds a special place in my heart

We go for the atmosphere, but have had pretty good luck with the food. I don't walk in expecting it to be five star food. The shakes have always been great. I can count on a burger that's above average and sometimes better.

 

[VoiceGuy07]

I think the food is at least a tick (whatever that means) above counter service. The wife LOVES the Space Monkey so it's always going to be on the list. She normally doesn't drink so it's nice to see her cut loose every once in a while. Husband of the Year yet again!!

We like it. Shrimp pasta has always been good. But what do I know, I thought V&A's was over rated.....

 

[Tinkerbella16]

Yup we agree 100%! We gave Sci-fi two chances... we weren't crazy about it the first go around, and thought maybe it was an off night. We went back and really did not like it again. I agree there is not really much of variety. Food was not as good.The atmosphere is great though.

Why didn't you just post your thoughts here, instead of driving pageview$ to your blog?

 

[ed_66503]

We really enjoy it. The food has always been good. I usually get a steak & a milkshake and the fried pickles are the best. But yeah, the atmosphere really makes it awesome.

We like it too and I also always get the Shrimp pasta and love it. I'm picky with pasta so it's hard to impress me and this one passed the test. Lol. We have never had just "ok" food there and we shall you say are food snobs and foodies as we dine at pricey places as well as hole in the walls with awesome food so we know good food. Lol. We always research when we travel where to eat and what we have to try. Too many good places at WDW and elsewhere to waste time on mediocre food. If the food had been just "ok" we would not keep going back. We go every trip and will again in Dec.

I was there in August- the salmon BLT was DELICIOUS. The ambience was kitschy and fun, but I didn't feel the need to linger. Overall a good cool sit-down option but I probably won't be back soon, it wasn't memorable. I agree that the menu options seem limited. My companion loved the Oreo milkshake.

We ate lunch there last week. 3 of us split 2 TS credits, which netted us a (completely plain) Build-Your-Own angus Chuck burger with fries, for my nephew; and SIL and I split the Famous All American Picnic Burger, with fries.
We ordered 4 milkshakes - 2 as beverages, 2 as desserts - and rolled out of there very happy campers.

We've never been, but think my son would love it. How hard is it to get seating for lunch w/o reservations?

Tried several times in the last few years with no luck.

We enjoy Sci-Fi for atmosphere more than food. Food is not bad, and maybe a smidge above QS. Actually, the first sentence goes for just about every food location at WDW.
