New Eats Arrive at Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant
The glow of vintage televisions and the rumble of cartoon carhops recently welcomed us to the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant at Hollywood Studios. Our visit had a delicious purpose: to explore the fresh and exciting new menu items they’ve unveiled.

Stepping into the Sci-Fi Dine-In is like taking a delicious trip back to the 1950s, and the menu wholeheartedly embraces this retro vibe. You’ll find classic American comfort food gracing the offerings, from thick and creamy milkshakes to juicy burgers and crispy fries – the quintessential drive-in fare. However, even a journey through time needs a little refreshment, which is why we eagerly returned to explore the exciting new additions that have recently landed on their menu.
We started our tasting with the Feature Film Burger, a frequently updated special, so remember to check with your server for the current toppings. When we visited, this $26 burger featured their signature beef blend topped with sliced corned beef, Swiss cheese, and house-made sauerkraut, all served on a pretzel bun. Our order included a side of classic fries.
The texture of the Feature Film Burger was a tale of two halves: a satisfying crispness contrasted with a slightly burnt edge on the patty. Thankfully, the toppings largely redeemed the experience. The delicate tenderness of the thinly sliced corned beef was impressive, and the sauerkraut delivered a delightful tang that left us wishing for just a little more. The unifying Thousand Island-esque sauce was a welcome addition. Our one wish for improvement would be a more pillowy and less dense pretzel bun.
Rounding out our savory selections was the tempting Fried Chicken Cordon Bleu Sandwich, priced at $22. This substantial offering features a crispy fried chicken thigh, generously topped with savory ham and melted Swiss cheese. It’s all served on a bed of peppery arugula, enhanced by their signature maple dijon sauce, and nestled within a soft brioche bun.
To bring our retro-futuristic dining experience to a sweet close, we couldn’t resist trying the brand-new Cerulean Moon dessert, priced at $9.50. This visually striking creation features a smooth chocolate mousse dome, revealing a delightful strawberry filling within. It rests upon a buttery graham cracker tart and is accompanied by a vibrant hibiscus sponge, a sprinkle of whimsical green “space dust,” and a drizzle of rich chocolate-caramel sauce.
The chocolate mousse in the Cerulean Moon was rich, smooth, and intensely chocolatey, though its density might not appeal to those seeking a lighter mousse. The strawberry filling at the base offered a burst of fresh strawberry flavor. Interestingly, the hibiscus sponge cake tasted like plain cake, without any floral notes. The green “space dust” appeared to be crispy flakes with an undefined flavor.
