Sci-Fi Dine In..We'll do it again!

[sorul82?]

We went to Sci-Fi on 8/18. This was our first experience with the dining plan, and the first time at this restuarant. We had Pop Tarts for breakfast about 6:00 AM, so by 11:00AM, we were pretty hungry. Sci-Fi did not disappoint! Yum, yum, yum! I had onion rings, cheeseburger, and a milkshake. DH had chili, ribs, and a milkshake. We paid oop for kid apps, and they shared our food. Did I mention it was yummy? We checked in, were seated promptly, and service was fast. I think we were in and out in about an hour. I have already booked an ADR for our next trip!!

Perhaps because we went in with low expectations, we really enjoyed it too. We didn't try anything adventurous: burger and rueben. Both were fine---comparable to a moderate chain restaurant, like a Chili's or TGIFriday's.

Glad to see a good review with the SciFi. We also had lunch there a few years ago and had the flat iron steak skillet, and we thought it was great. The kids had a great time, and thats what matters most. They got a big kick out of eating in the cars and watching the movie clips.

Could you describe the onion rings? Were they the big wide ring or the more narrower type.

They are the wide rings with a thin crispy coating. Not like a cornmeal thick coating. I'm pretty sure they used vidalia onions.

Oh, now I'm hungry!

Thanks for the review- I have heard so many bad things lately I was getting worried. We are trying it on 10/2!

How about the ribs? I never expect good things from ribs ANYWHERE but where I live, but am always willing to try.

Were they decent? DH and I are eating there just for the atmosphere...not the epicurean experience... Most everywhere we ate last year was pretty generic, so I'm trying to plan more interesting restaurants this year.

Since I'm from Eastern NC, I feel the same way about BBQ!! I am snooty about BBQ from anywhere other than home. And some people think BBQ is a verb! Disney seems to be on this big rib kick! Are they raising pigs somewhere? Hmmm, we have a lot of hog farms here in NC, maybe this is a good thing? Anyhow, each restaurant seems to do ribs differently. Some do the "wet" ribs and some the "dry" ribs. Note that I am not a rib expert, or a Disney dining expert, but I do like to eat, and I do like my pork!! DH had ribs at most places because he doesn't do "weird" and he doesn't do seafood. He recalls the Sci-Fi ribs being a tad dry. They weren't the take-a-bath-dripping-in-sauce type. I remember them being good, but not the best I have ever tasted. I hope this helps!

We have been there twice and loved it too. DH also had the ribs and loved them. We got tons of food thats for sure.

Glad you enjoyed it!

We tried it on our last trip and were pleasantly surprised at how much fun we had, how good the food was, and how relaxing it was to sit in the dark in our car and watch the movies. I think it's a must-do from now on.

We love Sci~fi, a must go every trip!!

Glad to hear someone saying good things about Sci-Fi. We ate there and actually enjoyed it. Most people don't have many good things to say about it, but we liked it. We plan on going back on a future trip.
