At 3 minutes to 1pm we went back to Sci Fi...keep in mind that I have told you HS is deadville today ok? There are more newbie CM's at the desk, different from the last 2 I have encountered. I give my name, he logs me in and we sit. The CM's are calling the names and their English is horrible, they cannot speak the names, they are not using pagers and their voices are not loud at all. As you can imagine NO ONE is getting seated because they have no idea that it is actually their name being called!
A lot of people are walking in and getting seated, people are checking in 30 minutes before their ressie time and I am steaming. We are seated right there in the front by the check in desk so I can hear everything. I give them the benefit of the doubt and wait until 1:10pm. Now all the parties that are arriving early for their time are getting seated and we are not so DH gets up, and at the same time there is a manager their and turns out that the newbie never checked us in! The manager apologized and we were seated around 1:20 so no biggie we were only 10 minutes late BUT they could have seated us earlier and they could have at least checked us in! DH explained about the 5 minute before ressie time and the manager asked us to point out who told us that and she said she would make sure they were re-informed.
We are lead back to our car, the place was half empty. There are empty cars all over the place but they would not seat us in a front seat car, we were hitch hikers in a center car but that was ok with us we were just hungry!
The theme of Sci Fi is awesome, the atmosphere is the best and we had an amazing time! Both of us actually remembered some of the cartoons and skits...it was great! We are seated and our server, Mickey, comes right over and explained a few things and DH said to him, "Dont worry my wife already knows what both of us will be having, she has knows since she made the ressie!"
I was really wanting to get a drink at the Tune In Lounge so I skipped the boozy milkshake but Todd ordered the Space Monkey, chocolate milkshake with banana and coconut liqueurs and topped with whipped cream. He loved it, I tasted it and it was very strong and very very good but oh so filling but he was able to finish off the entire thing.
I had a diet vanilla coke...I know, I know it kinda defeats the purpose because a die coke with vanilla syrup? ... but I like it
The onion rings are now an order for two and I was nervous because onion rings are not Todd's favorite but he said he would share them with me. After 3 quickly inhaled rings he said, "These are really the best onion rings I have ever had" and he was right, they were delicious. Tons of them, hot and crispy but very light, not greasy at all, not salty and the onion was thin and tender so when you bit the ring it cut clean through..you know how sometimes the onion pulls right out from the breading? Well this didnt happen.
I wanted to share a burger because I was getting full but he wanted a burger and I wanted the reuben so we had both. He ordered the burger with onions, mushrooms, american cheese, and fries. The burger was huge and just as good if not better than Beaches and Cream. The bun was not the CS style bun but a huge bakery bun. The fries were hot and crisp and not greasy at all. Can you see how red that tomato was? It tasted like it was fresh picked from my grandmother's garden.
I had the reuben and it was very good, not my local deli good but good enough. The corn beef wasnt salty, it was not stringy either. The sauerkraut was mild and the bread was ok, more like toasted instead of grilled. DH loved this too....I think he regretted the burger as soon as he saw my sandwich..probably because of the pickle.... but he did love both. I ordered the cucumber melon salad and it was really good, tasted like a vinegar dressing, nice and light and very refreshing. My sandwich looks like a funny face doesnt it? The pickle is the nose, the sandwich the eyes...ok Im weird I know.
The food runner busted us, we gave each other a kiss and she was delivering the food and she sang the K-I-S-S-I-N-G song and had the people around us laughing and then the waiter came by and said "I heard you got caught making out in the backseat!"
This place is a great spot for lunch, we loved our meal there and would be back in a heartbeat. Maybe this place gets a bad rap but honestly the burgers are to die for!
Did it taste right? It looked more like a fruit punch (which I would prefer 
)
Have only dined there once, but I thought the GFC was lovely.
Personally I cannot stand that stuff!
I tried to explain and explain, after all I have had how many ressies in the last year I think I may know a bit more than Mr. Earning My Ears here. 
Love the funny face sandwich
