Disney Restaurant Challenge: Sci Fi DIne In vs. 50’s Prime Time Cafe | Where Should You Eat?

Kristin giving that review at Sci-Fi was like watching a hostage video

This is a great idea Kristen! Please do more of these. ❤

50s Prime Time has the best ambience in my opinion! It is always a must for my family because my 80 year old Grandma says it reminds her of her mother and the way she ran her house which makes it worth it😂❤ I agree though, the food in MGM (long live MGM Studios) is not award winning but both restaurants have great atmospheres and you definitely go for the experience!

It’s Science Fi for me! I absolutely love it there!!! I love 50’s Prime Time as well (especially the shakes!) but I gotta go Sci Fi!!! Just for the pickles (sorry you didn’t get those this day)!

We came to Disney World on our honeymoon in 1997. (It was my first time in Disney.) The food back then was so good. We ate at Sci-Fi & we had one of the best burgers I’ve ever eaten! Unfortunately, we have NEVER had that experience again at Sci-Fi & we have been there many times. Every time we eat there, we vow “never again!”…& then the kids say they want to eat there again by the time we are booking our next trip. I feel like going to Sci-fi is like giving birth.(but only the pain of it..not the joy) you forget the pain of it all & go again in a couple of years.😂

“It tastes like I’m just eating a brick of potato.” 😂

$25 Burger??? $30 Dry chicken???? $3 A WING??? DAYUM!!

The look on your face when you said, "Tastes like I'm just eating a brick of potato" had me cracking up!🤣Great video Kristen! 👍

I'm glad I watched this! We were debating which of the two restaurants to go to in October. My daughter has fond memories of the cars in Sci Fi and wanted to go. Now we will do an early lunch at the Diner and just apps and cocktails for dinner at SciFi. Thanks for taking one for the team, lol.

Definitely 50’s Prime Time! But without the shenanigans 😂 my elbows are going to be all over the table! 🤣

I love this idea! I would love to see you do more of these comparisons! Thanks, Kristen

Always love your honesty! ❤

I always think of you when I see cornbread now! I love it too...have you ever tried cornbread batter like cookie dough batter?! If not, DO ITTTT bc it's totally a guilty pleasure of my mom and I😋🌽

These 2 restaurants are so nostalgic for me, went as a kid so many times. I remember at 50s prime time one time a server did the airplane with a fork full of food with my grandma 😂 we were dying it was so funny.

This is a video I’ve been wanting for years!! Specifically about how to choose between these two exact restaurants. Fantastic job Kristen!!! Thank you so much 🎉

I love Prime Time. I have celebrated my birthday there and ALL my " new friends" sang. This year our waiter had us playing a g ame. We had the best time.

So sci fi used to be better before covid. It was our go to spot. We went a couple months ago. I got the chicken salad sandwich and it was not good. We had people sat behind us halfway through the meal and they were loud as heck. I wish they had two people options. Also, the movie reels are on repeat. I saw the same ones twice and we were there less than 40 mins. Quick service though but feels so rushed. 50’s - we had what you said about the servers not being engaged. We had a server that did the bare minimum. It was not an ideal experience. As a kid who grew up in a household like that I had some trauma resurfacing haha. I didn’t realize it was like eating in my strict household again so for me it’s a no go. Thanks for reviewing though!

Very fun video! I think the negative reviews are so much more entertaining to watch.

Sci Fi evvvvvvverytiiiime!! You can not beat that atmosphere and the food feels like that retro kind of diner food I’d enjoy at a drive in! I really don’t need my burger or fried pickles to be spectacular, they’re good and all they need to be!

I'm sad about the food at Sci Fi because I agree it has some of the best theming I've ever experienced. I think the food at Prime Time is great. Can't go wrong with basic comfort meals with a cool, kitschy vibe and fun servers. Tune In Lounge is a gem too.
