I'm a truck driver. So there is no Semi parking at any of the three locations. The Fargo location, does have truck parking across the street at the Petro. The best time is 11 am when they open. There was already a line up at the door. Mostly birthday parties, and event celebrations. There will be a lot of kids running around, so watch your step. The greeter will put you on a list, unless you want to sit at the bar. Awesome environment for space cadets, or even seasoned astronauts alike. The staff was cool with me taking pictures, just not of other guests. My waitress was very helpful and nice. They brought me both my merchandise, and eats. Ordered the Alien burger with fries, and a Supreme pizza to go. The burger was so good, I didn't need to ask for ketchup or mustard. The spicy ranch dipping sauce was good with the fries. The pizza was oven fired, and had fresh garlic in the sauce. The last time I was here back in '06. I had a good time then too. Excellent atmosphere, and the experience made me feel young again. I can truly say that I was abducted! Of course I had to get the Legacy trucker hat. Thank you Space Aliens!

Worth it if you have kids. Pros: Gaming section is good and clean The Space Alien takes trips around The overall environment Cons: Service is less than ideal Food can be bland Very crowded (both games and eating) We've went there twice within the last 6 months. The first time was decent and nothing much to note about except the server said she would get us in the gaming section when our food was done and didn't actually tell us (they weren't busy). The second time there were 4 adults and 2 kids on a Friday evening. The gaming section was packed. The wait was 45 minutes. I can handle a server who isn't personable (although it helps to be lively), but she didn't do well for us. We all had to wait with empty cups on refills. One of the kids didn't even get his meal at the same time as ours. We assumed they were coming back with it, but after 5-10 minutes we waved down another server and told them he didn't get his food (they did make up for it by giving it to him for free), but there wasn't even much of an apology if any and she didn't seem to care. The Space Alien was very friendly and gave high fives and I saw some people take pictures with it. One more frustrating thing was that one of the servers moved a table right next to us so when the person backed up (perpendicular to my chair), their hair would have been in my lap. I wouldn't have been able to get out of my seat (we had a table up against the wall. The other customers knew it was awkward as well so they all had to shift and sit in a semi-circle. As far as the food goes, most of us got burgers, and I think they are frozen patties that were way too dry. It didn't even seem dry because it overcooked--it was still slightly pink on the inside. It was as if the burger was naturally a dry burger. I didn't feel like I could get enough BBQ sauce on it (The Double Neptune Burger). The fries tasted great and the pizza looked great. If you go here, grab something besides the burger and I think you'll be okay.

Ordinarily I would give this restaurant at least 4 stars. We usually love the food and, though sparse, the game room for our daughter. Enough so that we hyped up the restaurant and took family there today (round trip from Grand Forks). Going in we noticed a dog in a car by the entrance (below freezing temps) and mentioned this to the front (who said they'd make an announcement, but did not). The food was... edible. Usually very good but tonight was subpar (except the sides). We like the bbq, but it was quite chewy. The bathroom was atrocious. If I had gone to the bathroom prior to ordering, we would have left. It was that bad. Strong odour, feces on the toilets (as if it had been sprayed down rather than cleaned), vomit-esque debris in the sink, swastikas scratched into the walls... bad... I had to wipe down the toilet prior to use and legitimately felt like I wanted to shower after using it (use was not by choice, trust me). I can only imagine the state of the back of house of the restroom can be this bad. The biggest issue was upon leaving, one of our party slipped and fell hard on the ice right outside the door. Went inside to ask for ice and let them know the entrance was a sheet of ice (water dripping from the "hatch"). I half hearted "sorry" followed by one person telling us that salt every morning (this was evening, after the refreeze) and then another (manager I presume) telling us they "just salted a little bit ago". There was no evidence of any salt or grit at all, just ice. We took pictures to be sure. We sat in the car for quite awhile assessing injury and letting the car warm up. No one came out to check the ice or attempt to prevent further incidents. One employee did exit for a short time to smoke that was it. We won't be back, but may go to other locations to give another chance.

[EDIT] Second visit to this location. Still didn't see the alien - do they even have one here? Ordered wings as an appetizer and got burgers this time, with coleslaw. My 4 year old got a cheeseburger and apple sauce, and my infant with 2 teeth got macaroni and cheese. THE FOOD WAS DRY. Wings were mid and the burgers were DRYYY!! My daughter's cheeseburger was plain with no condiments at all and we had to pour some of the ranch for the wings on it so she could palate it. We had the Cajun Ranch burger and there wasn't enough sauce for how dry that burger was. Even the coleslaw was DRY, we both added some of the sauce for the burger to the slaw to make it palatable. 2 stars for atmosphere because Aliens are cool, but there's no room to move around, it's super cramped, feels sticky everywhere, and the women's bathroom had a RANCID STINK to it like a Honey Bucket!! Some árcade machines still out of order. Just not at all impressed, the kids food took the longest to come out and we had to ask about it. [One year previous, original review] The kids and adults had fun. The chicken tastes funny and is clearly not their forte, will have to try beef or pork next time. Multiple árcade machines were also out of order, which was disappointing. It's really quite expensive, I feel like they could charge less for the food (considering Gordon Ramsey would absolutely hate it) since they have the árcade and bar and all. Didn't see the alíen this time but that's okay.

Called to order a blooming onion to pick up. I was told they were busy but not that busy but yeah pretty busy. This was the response from person on the phone who took my pretty simple order. I asked how long and was told approximately 15 minutes. Upon arrival I proceeded to wait at the counter for someone to help me. After quite some time a guy arrives, im assuming a mgr, and asks if ive been helped and if a few guys sitting on a bench had been helped. I get rung up by a very polite girl, pay and head home. Once I get home I open to go box and I have to say pretty disappointed. The onion was flat and im sure so it would fit in box but there was nothing crispy about it. It was kind of warm but it tasted really really bad like a combination of bad oil and really old breading. I called back to let them know of my disappointment just as an FYI cuz I knew they wouldn't do anything about it but to possibly keep them from from someone else eating at the restaurant. There was no answer. It just rang. This could be due to the 10 cars in the parking lot. I called back and the person who answered said the mgr was busy and asked me to call back. They must have a different call policy compared to other places. Normally you'd think they'd take your name and number and let you know they'd have them call me back. I called back and once again the phone rang. Guess I learned a lesson.

We went in and were seated at a very small booth initially that was uncomfortable for my husband and myself. We made the decision to move about 4 booths away to a larger and more accommodating booth. After about 25 minutes, a server came over and took our order. She was very professional and kind. After the server left the table, the other server who would have been our server at the small booth, stopped and gave us a small, bust rude lecture on us not being helped because we moved tables. The conversation was rude, abrupt, and very unnecessary. As this point, we asked to speak with management, who was helpful, apologetic and unnecessarily gave us a 20% discount off our meal, which we were grateful for. The food came and was delicious, filling and hot, which were all great! The only other negative thing about this Space Aliens was that it was a truly dirty restaurant. The photos/ art by the tables were covered in fingerprints, dirt & grime. The dust on fixtures was very visible, and the floors looked as if they had not been cleaned well in days. Tables were tacky and left with debris. I'd definitely go back, but I'd hope to see a cleaner environment. It's unfortunate that though the management, server that served us, and the food were all really great, the experience was marred by a dirty restaurant.
