Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant

Frommer's Review

This restaurant's simulated nighttime sky is filled with fiber-optic twinkling stars that look down on you as you sit in a chrome "convertible" watching a giant screen showing '50s and '60s sci-fi flicks, zany newsreels, cartoons, and B horror-movie clips, such as Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster. Fun-loving carhops deliver free popcorn along with your meal. I'm disappointed that the menu, which was almost as fun to read as the movies are to watch, is far less cosmic than it used to be. Entrees once listed as the Attack of the Killer Club Sandwich, the Beach Party Panic, and the Red Planet now require little translation as they sport names that are now far more down-to-earth (sure they're more recognizable, but the fun factor ain't there). The menu includes a selection of sandwiches, ribs, burgers, seafood, pasta, steak, and salads. Drinks are served with souvenir glow-in-the-dark ice cubes. The food is average; it's the atmosphere that keeps the crowds coming. Advance Reservations are highly recommended.
