    The only complaints I've heard about the place are folks who order the 'weird stuff' like the fish dinner or whatever. I don't know who would get a fish or a shrimp dinner at a drive through.. It's like going to a Philly Cheesesteak place and expecting the sushi they have on the menu to be fresh & tasty. (and yes they do have a Philly & Sushi place in the Anaheim/ Fullerton area.. we haven't been yet).

    not that I remember - but it is really good-- the recipe is in a number of the Disney cookbooks....
    A tasty lowfat alternative...not that I pay ANY attention to that while I am at WDW --

    Ok, I have definately lived in Europe for too long. Can anyone please remind me of what a Rueban sandwich contains? Many thanks in advance.

    My 2 cents - Sci Fi is a lot of fun - and junk food is the key to an enjoyable meal here!

I asked the waitress for some ketchup and was told that the table in front of me had some and I should ask them if I could borrow it. When I got my bill, my lunch was on it but so was the table behind me (6 people) so my cheeseburger looked like it cost me close to $100.00.

    No sir...not impressed at all. On top of the if you stay as long as I did you see the films loop at least a dozen times if not more. It got pretty old. Chalk me up as "not a fan".

    That wasn't the point of the story anyway. It was about really awful service and a high price tag. I went in for lunch at 12:30 and didn't get any food until almost 3:00. That's just not right on so many levels. Did I mention that I was unhappy?

My function at WDW, or any other place that charges me admission, is to be entertained and enjoy myself. Since this problem was happening to me, it was my problem. What others think or do is not my problem. I figure if this happens enough Sci-Fi will just be a distant memory anyway. And frankly, I won't miss it. Did I mention I didn't care for it much?

    On allearsnet, it has a 6.3 rating out of 10, based on 50 reviews. 72% of people recommend the restaurant. I'll pass.
