Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater

The Sci- Fi Dine-In is one of the most consistent restaurants I have ever had the pleasure of enjoying a meal at in Disney World. I have been there 3 times in the last 5 years (2006-2011) and the food and service is always fun and delicious. Your meal is located inside at a Drive-In theatre circa the 1950s. Your table is a classic car and you are facing a massive movie screen that plays snippets, clips, and previews from classic B horror films. The sky looks similar to the Mexico pavilion or Pirates of the Carribbean—where you are transported outside even though you are inside.

The ambiance is fun and the theming is fantastic. The meals fit right into the theme as well, with classic diner fare. Arguably the Dine-In makes the best milkshakes on property!

I absolutely LOVE the Sci-Fi Dine in! The atmosphere is amazing, since I love old movies. The food is great, and reasonably priced. The service is awesome, and I love how some of the waitresses are on roller skates!

Review for Sci Fi Dine in Theater
This place sometimes gets a bad rap, but I have to say my family and I really enjoy it! You can beat walking in on a hot afternoon to the dark drive in setting, your mind just instantly relaxes and you cool off just thinking its night-time!
We normally get burgers and the turkey sandwiches here, and we enjoy each and everytime. You cant come here and not geta Milkshake, yummy! The best way to describe them, thick, creamy and full of flavor, the perfect treat on a hot day!
You cant wrong at the Sci Fi Dine In Theater…great food, milkshakes and an atmosphere that cant be beat! Give it a try on your next trip!

I may get lynched for this, but I just didn’t like this place. It looks cool, and we were drawn to it just for that reason. Out of the 2 times we have eaten there, we have been happy with the service and food 0 times. The way most of the seating is set up, you end up with either your back to someone or you end up looking at someones back. Not easy to converse like that. The menu was less than desireable and I had a hard time finding something to order. I don’t know if the service is always slow or just slow for us, but it took a long time to even get drinks and our order in. Then another long wait for the food that wasn’t worth the wait or price. I heard the milkshakes were good, but I wasn’t in the mood to wait around for one. It took almost 2 hours out of our day to eat there, and that is with a reservation!
