50's Prime Time or Sci-Fi Dine In?

[L-Harper]

I have one more ADR to book and its on our DHS day. I was thinking of having lunch in the park at either 50's Prime Time or Sci-Fi Dine In. Which would you choose or somewhere else? Also, what dish do you like?

Both have unique atmospheres, but I prefer the food at 50's.

Sci-fi is a must for us every trip atmosphere is crazy funny. 50's is cool though.

I like the atmosphere and the food better at 50's, though as a kid I used to beg my parents to go to Sci Fi (they were such good parents that they usually agreed even though they hated it! ) The food at Sci Fi in my now adult opinion is barely edible if you get something really basic, but if you stray from that then you're usually out of luck They do have good popcorn though The food at 50s is decent (though nothing to write home about in my opinion ), and I really think the servers get more into their characters than anywhere else on property

You'll get a fun environment out of either place though

Found the food at 50's bland, and the atmosphere was so so.... we LOVED the Sci Fi, both the meal an dthe theming...nice to get in out of the heat

If you want a burger, pick Sci Fi. If you want meat loaf or fried chicken, pick 50s. If you don't really care what you eat, I would pick 50s just because it's an overall more memorable experience.

They are both very fun places though.

We didn't much like the food at the 50's Primetime and nothing interesting happened either. We enjoy the Scifi but it's kind of the pits if there's only two of you. You tend to be placed in the backseats of others people's "cars" which is kind of odd.

If you go to Scifi, keep it simple. You can get a decent burger and shake and I liked my grilled chicken sandwich.

We choose Sci-Fi for the experience. We don't have a drive in movie theatre anywhere near us so it's more fun for us to eat "outside, in the car" watching old movie clips/commercials. My kids can get fussed at for not eating their vegetables at home. Besides, I can cook meatloaf, pork chops, etc... so the food at 50's Prime Time doesn't appeal to us. Will agree that the decor at 50's is really cute though!

 

[GrumpyBelle]

We have done both. If you want a burger go for Sci Fi. I voted for 50's though...we really enjoy the food and the atmosphere here. Really, you can't go wrong with either IMO.

 

[goofyintoronto]

both have a unique atmosphere. but i think the atmosphere at sci fi is more fun/unique. if you have never been, i highly recommend it. stick to what theyre known for, their burgers and shakes, and you wont be disappointed. my son and i love it.

although, it really depends on the type of food you want to eat. cause they both have very different menus. antics at 50s is hilarious and the atmosphere is great.

Hands down Sci Fi.

 

[B.B. Sots]

Prefer the 50's.... Food and 'show' are better

 

[arcticdisneylovers]

Personally I like both but I'd pick PT over Sci Fi. But if you have kids they might prefer SCI Fi depending on their ages.

 

[mommys3]

They are both favorites of mine, and go to both since I can never decide which one to pick over the other! If I had to choose...I would go with Sci-Fi for atmosphere, and 50's for food

 

[LJD2143]

50s has great food and such a fun atmosphere - every single time.

Sci Fi is "neat" but I had my worst Disney meal ever there. And if you have more than 2 people in your party, you're not really eating or socializing with your entire family. I actually like to spend our family meals talking to one another.

 

[disEAR]

50s!!!!!

Sci fi was fun, but the food at 50s is SOO much better.

 

[papamouse1]

SciFi may be one of the best themed restaurants on property. Kids love it, and so do I

But with that said, if the choice is between PT and SciFI, I would go with 50's Prime Time. It's true that the servers aren't nearly as much fun as they used to be at PT, but the place is still amazingly themed and the food is FAR superior... IMHO

 

[Reberella]

The themeing and food is great at both, and they're different experiences. Sci-Fi you can't really talk with each other, and 50's is lots of fun with the waitors and "rules"
The 50's is more 'traditional' though, with things like fried chicken and pot roast
Whatever is your groups style!

 

[topmonkeygirl]

Love the fried chicken at 50's, taste like i make at home. To me it's nice to eat out once in a while, but when you eat out everyday while you're on vacation I kind of miss home cooking. The burgers, onion rings and milkshakes at Sci Fi are terrific. It was a hard pick for me. Love them both.

If you haven't been to either, than Sci-Fi would be my first choice -- it's a pretty cool place. If you've been there before, than definitely 50's.
