Which one should I make reservation too? Also how good is Tuskers House for Breakfast? How many times do the characters come by?
 
A few questions here for 50s vs Sci-Fi:

1. Lunch or dinner?
2. How many in your party and what ages?
3. What matters more to you: food or environment?
 
I prefer 50’s Prime Time, but Sci-Fi is fun too.

Tusker House is really good at breakfast. It is a big location, so you should be able to see everyone once before you leave.
 

50's primetime is my all-time favorite . just being there is like going back in time. its the first reservation i make and HS must. when your kids dont test there veggies and your aunt takes them and puts whip cream on them then tells them to eat it. makes my whole trip
 
Dinner. 33 and 63. Food.

Ok, so both are obviously themed dining but Sci-Fi is the more unique of the two experiences if that makes sense. I'm a burger and beer kind of guy, so I liked the food at Sci-Fi better, but the Wife loves comfort food so she preferred 50s. Really, it depends on if you'd prefer a really unique setting (Sci-Fi) or a more interactive meal with food that's largely considered better (50s).
 
At the science fi Restuarant do You have to share a table with strangers?
With a party of two you will have your own row but not your own car. I have had terrible food at Sci-Fi both times I’ve been. And great food at Prime Time both times.
 
We love Sci-Fi...there's just no theming in comparison! The food is pretty decent for burgers and such. When we went to 50's Prime Time that one time, we found it to be just blah. The waitress wasn't very engaging and we just felt rushed. The food wasn't that great in my opinion.

We do Tusker House every time we go to AK, the food is awesome especially for a buffet and the character interaction is one of the best.
 
We ate lunch at Sci-Fi last year since the place next door (can't recall the name) was closed for renovation. There are regular tables around the perimeter (which is where we sat), if you don't want to sit in those quirky cars looking at the back of the heads of either people you don't know or others in your party. The repeating movie clips won't mean much if you aren't at least 50 yrs old. We thought the food was very average and the place just seemed like it was time for a makeover. Not someplace we would choose in the future.
 
The food at 50s prime time is definitely better quality--Sci Fi is a bit more like quick service food and is mostly about the atmosphere.

For Tusker House, you will typically see each character once. We have eaten there many many times, and Tusker House is always crowded. The only times we've had character meals where a character visited twice are when a restaurant is really empty, and Tusker House never is. I thought the breakfast food was pretty good, though I don't love it the way some folks do, but I would definitely eat there again.
 
For Sci-Fi, if you are expecting movies, this isnt it. Its super cool to sit in the car and its like being in a drive-in. But the sci-fi commercials get very repetitive. Burgers are good here!

Tuskers has always been a family-fav for breakfast. Weve always had lots of interactions w/characters here!! The breakfast juice is soooo goood.
 
Sci-Fi is all about the experience. But, you sit in a "car" and it doesn't make for easy conversation. Tends to be loud and there is a lot going on.
50's prime time - good fun and fun. For me, we've done it a couple times and that's good.
 
For food I would give a slight nod to 50's Prime Time Cafe. However, it would just be a slight nod. Look at the menu and see which is more appealing taking into account the theming.
 
I love 50s. As others have said. If you get a good CM. They make it fun. You better have thick skin. lol. Some people don’t like to be messed with. But that’s what eating there is about. If you eat there. You make get the business.
 
I'm not a fan of restaurants like 50's....it is just not for me.
