YES!!!
If it is something you really want to do, then go a head and make ADRs for the day and time you want.
Why be disappointed just because you didn't make a phone call? It doesn;t cost anything to make a reservation, and you're ALWAYS better safe than sorry!
HAVE FUN!

You must make ressies. Very popular all times of the year.
It's a great place, but stay away from the more complicated dishes - grab a burger, salad, onion rings, etc. Great desserts too. They make great diner food, but I wouldn't try anything too exotic.
I usually get a burger and share some onion rings with someone - I really enjoy the place. It's just the right thing for a hot, sunny day when you just want to cool off and be in another place for awhile. Also, don't be afriad to ask for substitutions either - they can rearrange many menu items and don't list all of the combinations on the menu (i.e. you can have steak, chicken, or shirmp on any of the salads, even if it doesn't specify).
Good luck!

I was pretty disappointed when I went there - I had the catfish and the hush puppies and they were both overcooked and really dry.
In fact, I've been kind of disappointed both times I've gone, so I'm not exactly hopping to try it again! But, I will admit that their onion rings are quite tasty... Perhaps it's more of a midday snack thing... hmm...

I LOVE Sci-Fi. Besides Le Cellier, it's my favorite restaurant at WDW. I would recommend advanced reservations just to be on the safe side, as it is quite popular.

Hehe, that definately falls under my recommendation against "complicated" dishes.
The burgers, salads, and sandwiches (as well as those 'rings!) are really what this place is all about. It's a don't-miss for me because of the fun, but I have learned after many visits to stick to the basics.

I adore Sci-fi and I wouldn't think of ordering anything else but the "perfect order" -- burger, fries and a shake (props to Tom Servo, MST3K). One of the reasons I love it so much is that I'm also a huge Mystery Science Theater 3000 fan. I cracks me up to see bits of some of the films that MST did while I'm there. 
Reservations are a must, too! There's always a crowd waiting.

Reservations are a must especially if you want to sit in a car. If you don't expect waits of at least an hour (if they can take you at all).

For me, the Sci-Fi is all about the theming. The atmosphere and theming of any restaurant in WDW come way before food quality, in my opinion, which is why Sci-Fi is one of my all-time favs!

I agree that theming is a huge part of the WDW dining experience, and for that, the Sci-Fi is a cool experience. That being said, with all of the nummy choices out there in WDW, I just wish that the Sci-Fi could have food that was at least close to being on the same level as my surroundings!Main Street USA said:
And, no, I'm not asking for fine dining in those little cars!! :lol: Ditch the complicated items, turn themselves entirely into a burgers n shakes joint. Make up some funky burgers/toppings, fresh fries (mmm... maybe even sweet potato fries) to compliment the onion rings and milkshakes that they already do so well and voilà! A place that would have tasty and fun food to compliment the awesome surroundings!
Until then, the Sci-Fi will always be a cool place to see, but not a cool place to eat for me... but different strokes, right!! :wave:

We had one of the best meals we've ever had at Disney. However, the first night we went there they were out of Priority Seating and they weren't taking standby names. The CM was really rude. But, we made PS and came back a few days later. The chicken sandwich was really good! Most definitely make PS arrangements.
