Dining
Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant
Commissary Lane, Disney's Hollywood Studios
About
You dine inside a simulated 1950s drive-in theater under a perpetual night sky. Guests sit in booths shaped like vintage convertible cars while watching a large projection screen. The screen plays a loop of retro sci-fi movie clips, B-movie trailers, and old cartoons. Servers dressed as car hops bring your food directly to your vehicle-shaped table. It is a highly themed, dark, and relatively quiet environment because most diners are focused on the screen.
How to Get There
The restaurant is located in the Commissary Lane section of Disney's Hollywood Studios, right next to the ABC Commissary. If you enter the park, walk straight down Hollywood Boulevard and turn left at the central hub. Walk past the Hyperion Theater toward Commissary Lane, and the building will be on your left. You can get to Disney's Hollywood Studios by taking the Disney Skyliner, a Disney bus, or a friendship boat depending on your starting resort.
Menu Highlights
The menu features American drive-in classics, with a strong focus on custom burgers. Other options include a fried chicken sandwich, a grilled chicken citrus salad, and a warm caramel brownie cheesecake for dessert. Adults can order specialty cocktails like the Spicy Martian Margarita or the Long Island Lunar Tea, and milkshakes are a popular non-alcoholic choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of seating is available?
Most parties are seated in booths shaped like classic 1950s convertible cars, which face the movie screen. There are also standard picnic tables located at the back of the theater for larger parties or guests who prefer traditional seating.
Is the restaurant suitable for young children?
Yes, but the environment is very dark and features clips of vintage sci-fi monsters. While the clips are campy and lighthearted rather than truly terrifying, sensitive children might find the atmosphere a bit intense.
What is the cancellation policy?
You must cancel or modify your reservation within the designated window before your scheduled time to avoid a per-person fee. The exact cancellation timeframe and fee details are provided during the booking process and in your confirmation email.
