SCI-FI DINE-IN THEATER RESTAURANT
VS .
50 ’ S PRIME TIME CAFÉ
DANNY SAYS : Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant is a unique and out-of-this-world dining experience for the whole family . With its distinct ambiance , delicious food , signature milkshakes , and sci-fi movie clips , you cannot go wrong when dining here .
THEME : As you travel back to the 1950s at this drive-in movie theater , you ’ ll be greeted with a sense of nostalgia — via the classic cars you get to sit in and vintage sci-fi movies playing on the silver screen . And thanks to the great details inside the restaurant , you ’ ll also feel as if you ’ re truly outdoors at the drive-in .
LOCATION : Disney ’ s Hollywood Studios on Commissary Lane , across from Star Tours .
FOOD : Traditional American cuisine , including burgers , salads , and sandwiches — and you can end your delicious meal with a milkshake or the Sci-Fi Dine-In exclusive candy bar . Your little ones will be quite happy with the offerings on the children ’ s menu , including chicken strips , mac and cheese , and a cheeseburger .
SERVICE : The food and drinks come out very quickly , but the super friendly Cast Members still encourage you to sit back , relax , and enjoy the ambiance throughout the meal .
VALUE : Most adult meals range between $ 15 and $ 25 . Children can eat for $ 10 to $ 12 per plate .
UNIQUE FEATURE : As the sci-fi movie trailers play on the big screen , keep watching to see a special appearance from Walt Disney himself .
FUN FACT : If you sit in the front seat , be prepared to be addressed as the driver — while the Cast Members refer to everyone else in your party as hitchhikers !
KAT SAYS : Step back in time and dine inside a 1950s-era kitchen , where “ Mom ’ s ” food sticks to your ribs , your plate must be cleaned , and you better put your phone away at the table .
LOCATION : Disney ’ s Hollywood Studios next to Hollywood & Vine in Echo Lake ( across from Gertie the Dinosaur ). In fact , these restaurants share restrooms .
THEME : 1955 vinyl , Formica , and comfort food ! From the living room lobby to the entire dining area , guests are immersed inside a 1950s home and subject to follow all house rules .
SERVICE : Cast Members who have become your aunt , uncle , or cousin make sure you mind your manners , eat your vegetables , and keep your elbows off the table . If you don ’ t , they may give you a talking to — or make you stand in the corner !
FOOD : 1950s classic comfort dishes like fried chicken , pork chops , meatloaf , chicken pot pie , all your hearty childhood favorites — and milkshakes to wash it all down . You can order desserts such as a peanut butter layer cake , warm apple crisp , and brownies a la mode . The best part : Adults can enjoy a Godiva chocolate martini !
VALUE : Adult entrees range from $ 17 to $ 26 , and children ’ s dishes cost between $ 10 and $ 13 .
UNIQUE FEATURE : Guests can eat all of this amazing food while watching clips from favorite 1950s sitcoms on small black-and-white televisions . And while TVs are abundant in the restaurant , you can even request to have one right there at your table .
FUN FACT : Every television in the restaurant has the “ Disney ” brand name .
