Sci fi dine In

[gmar1210]

So we finally scored a reservation for this weekend there for 4 of us. Couple of questions

-Are you guaranteed to have your own car or are you seated with others?
-do they sing happy birthday there (my sons birthday)

I'll be watching this thread, I've also got reservations for the first time next week. Not sure what to expect.

Congrats. SCI-FI is a must do for all of our visits. We have never had to share a car. There are a few tables as well, but never had one. I can't answer to the birthday.

I will also have to admit, I have seen most of the B movies that are shown in the clips

Depending upon how busy they are, you might have hitchhikers in the back seat

They might bring out a cupcake or other recognition. I’ve never heard singing of happy birthday.

If my memory serves, there are cars with two rows and some with three. If you're a party of four, it seems possible you'll get a car with two rows and not have to share, but I assume it's also possible they put you in a three row car if that's all that's there.
I know at Sci-fi you can do the Birthday Cake add on option (order in the app a few days ahead of time), but I'm not sure if they'll sing or not.

There were 4 in our party and there was a party of 2 in the last row. Expect to have someone share the car with you. It's very quiet in the restaurant because everyone is watching the movies

Seats are 2 people to a row, one row behind the other, like a car would be. Most cars have three rows, so as pp says you might have “hitchhikers” in the third row. But because of the arrangement of seats, the hitchhikers won’t be interacting with your party, so it’s different from sharing a regular table.

For what it’s worth, we were there the night of Moonlight Magic and our party of four was sat in a three row car behind another couple. If you have kids in your party, who want to watch the movie it may be worth requesting/waiting for a row 1/2. I go there for the onion rings (and to get off my feet) and not the movie and I didn’t want to throw off our schedule, we sat in rows two and three and were fine— but if this is a special one time thing or a special occasion, I would mention it when you get to the restaurant and politely request to be in a car in the front of the car.

Thanks everyone. Was just chatting with a CM and they informed me I can come by earlier in the day before the reservation time and request a 2 row car. What is the go-to meal there?

People go to Sci-fi more for the ambience than anything else. I don't think there is anything special there. I like their burgers.

We were a party of 4 (family of 5, but 1 was sick) and did have to sit with another couple behind us. The new beamed up burger is really good (better reviews as well vs prime rib sandwich). Btw you can substitute the onion rings for your fries vs ordering separately and get a milk shake on the dining plan

I've had some really good burgers there over the years, and we've liked the onion rings too. I think sticking with burgers/rings/fries/shakes is the best bet.

 

[CarolynFH]

I agree, we go for the ambiance and the burgers. We were kids in the 50s, so lots of memories for us, not to mention taking our kids there in the mid-90s. We still have one of the glow in the dark Frisbees their meal came on!

 

[RickNJane]

I will second the burgers/rings/fries/shakes. Great burgers and it just goes with the overall vibe. Enjoy!
