Originally Posted By Indigo They serve what I call Cal-Italian. It's different from Olive Garden or similar type restaurants. To me the food there is nothing special, but neither is the food at sci-fi diner. If you want the best food your best option is the Brown Derby.
Originally Posted By RoadTrip We ate there once and thought it was OK -- not great but not bad either. As Indigo said, by far the best food at MGM is at the Brown Derby; one of our favorite restaurants in all of WDW. When we want something a bit cheaper than the Derby we usually go to the Sci-Fi Dine-In. I don't know that the food is any better than at Mama Melrose, but we enjoy the unique atmosphere. You'll never see something like the Sci-Fi anywhere but Disney!
