"Opened by Jon Basso as a UFO-themed drive-in/drive-thru, this venue pairs a short, retro-focused burger menu with sci-fi short films projected on an outdoor screen; diners tune their radios to 94.3 FM for the audio, and the lot is decorated with kitschy 1960s movie posters. Concession offerings include hot buttered popcorn, full-size candy bars, shaved ice, and Coca-Cola and Pepsi products, while playful touches—accepting orders in Klingon and selling tin-foil hats touted to block “unauthorized government cerebral scanning”—underscore the campy, novelty-driven vibe. It is open daily from 10 a.m. until 2 a.m." - Susan Stapleton
