I've been wanting to come here since I passed it on my last trip to Phoenix. We were seen fairly quickly. Our hostess/cashier/server really can do it all, she works super hard I can't remember her name but if I could I'd include her in here, she's incredible even bringing my girlfriends purse out running to catch us before we left. I really appreciate her for that above the good service. I really liked the theming of the restaurant I'm sure that's what gets a lot of people in here. They have a small yet cool gift shop (I personally like the mugs and shirts). Over the food was a rough 7/10, about average. The onion rings were pretty good I'd recommend them (they're a little sweet). Overall I'd probably visit again if I'm in the area. Pictured below is my already eaten burger and my not yet finished fries/onion rings. read more

Services is great and cute Foods moody, mediocre Bread & tortillas were un-fresh Asked for hash browns extra crispy; they were mostly raw Great Space Age ambience read more

0 stars if I could. Waiter acted like she wanted us dead when we walked in. We came specifically to see this restaurant after driving past it for years, and truthfully wished we drove past it again this time. What a wonderful way to start a birthday celebration and vacation. read more

Food was just ok, frozen burger and fries, service was slow I think the guy serving was also helping cook. He was friendly just a little slow to the table and refills. The place is super cool lots to see and look at, was clean as well. Great little nick-nacks to commemorate our visit. Over all it's in Gila bend and with the selection of fast food and truck stops it was cool to visit.... Once. read more

3 menus, all had different prices. We should have walked out. The "grilled cheese" cheese wasn't even warm in the middle. The burgers were worse than bowling alley food. The whole area is run down and frankly I think our waitress was high as a kite. They want you to buy the merch up front but you can probably get it all on Amazon for $2? lol. We thought since this place had been a round since the 60's it won't be worth the drive but I can assure you, this place is worthless and shouldn't be considered a restaurant. read more

Perfect roadside diner for a bite. Near a supercharge station for Teslas and a gas station. We stopped in for breakfast and got the 2 Egg Breakfast and Juevos Rancheros. Good basic coffee, too. Cute mugs for sale that match the ones at your table. Friendly staff and cute space decor for a kitschy good time. read more

Really cool place. Stopped by on way back to Mesa. The Jupiter burger was great!and only $16. Onion rings were awesome. Ignore the bad reviews, no idea what they are talking about. Good diner with a bunch of alien crap. What else could you ask for. Gila Bend needs more cool stuff. It could be a new hip place read more

My husband and I stopped here because there honestly isn't anywhere else to stop nearby. We both ordered from the breakfast menu and the hashbrowns tasted old and plastic-y. My husband's chorizo and eggs were still very wet and runny. His corn tortillas were dry and not pliable at all. My "omelet" smelled off and I couldn't find any cheese in it. It wasn't like a normal folded omelet but it was square and appeared undercooked. The bacon I paid extra for was the precooked bacon you can buy in a box at the grocery store. I paid $5.50 for 3 strips of that bacon. We didn't complain and just paid the bill and left. It was $40 total for 2 breakfast dishes and we both had coffee. Hey James and Jimmy, If I could give zero stars, I would. read more

Space Age Restaurant and Bar - Cheese "omelet", hashbrowns and side bacon - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Gila Bend, Arizona

People have really high expectations for a diner. Don't believe the other reviews--this place is great. Stopped on our way to and from Rocky Point/Peñasco. Burgers were large and came with grilled onions, fresh lettuce, tomato. Onion rings are really good--I think they're double fried. Service is very slow bc there are 2 people working. Deal with it. Restrooms were clean. Decor is space themed and great for roadside diner. The interior pairings/murals are really well done! Fine dining, no. Good burger is the middle of AZ desert, yes. read more

Funny little place. Everyone was really friendly and kind. The atmosphere was filled with space stuff, that was fun. We were there for breakfast. It was very basic. Eggs, hash browns, toast. Bacon or sausage was extra. Which leads me to prices. They were out of this world (see what I did there?). Exorbitant. $12.99 for two eggs, one potatoes worth of hasbrowns, a piece of toast. $5.99 for coffee. $6.99 for two slices of back or a sausage patty. Sorry, but unless your food is sprinkled with gold dust, that's just nuts. We won't be back even though service was nice. We can't afford smiles like that. read more

We didn't even order the tiny menu prices were huge. Club Sandwich $23.99 Soda $6.99 fries $7.99 Where are we outer space. We walked out. read more

well, after driving past this restaurant, for the past 25 years. So I decided to stop I looked over the menu and they Jupiter burger with fries for like 16.99 and I had iced tea which was $4.99 a little bit insane I think and there was only one girl working the whole floor so the service was so so the burger itself overall marginal would I again for any kind of a meal no once was enough. read more

Menu looked decent, too bad the food wasn't. Everything tasted old and/or from a can. The prices do not reflect the quality, at all!! The salad was browning and the bread was stale. The house soup tasted about a week old. The server had zero personality, barely spoke to us. Skip this place. read more

I was inspired to do this review because we almost didn't stop here. We had read the reviews posted and wanted a good breakfast. Anyway, we ended up stopping and were pleasantly surprised! The restaurant was very clean, the staff friendly and the food was very good! If you are looking for a place to eat breakfast out in the middle of nowhere, This is a good choice! read more

Stopped here for breakfast on the way to California. The eggs were dripping with grease, soda was flat. The waitress was nice but didn't seem too happy to really be there. Overall the restaurant felt dirty. read more

Small, ordinary, bland french fries and one coffee - 16$ 16$!!!! A plain, nothing special, hamburger was 19.95 plus tax. 20$ for a plain quarter pounder While waiting in the parking lot for a friend to arrive, I saw a half dozen groups come and 5 groups leave after 5-10 minutes. After seeing the increased, stupid expensive, plain food prices, I completely understood. I always stopped here when the old man owned it, after the son took over, there were some minor changes but nothing unexpected... who ever owns it now is one greedy I will never return... read more

If less than one star were an option I would rate this place at that! Not too busy on a Saturday so we stopped in 10 minutes later we were waited on , one (1) coffee - she brought two (2). 10 minutes later she took our food order 15 mins and our food arrived, I had to ask for more coffee. our order was a disaster- no sausage gravy, toast that wasn't ordered, chorizo and eggs cold, beans cold, hash browns cooked beyond edible and cold, scrambled eggs cold!!! All this for $63 for two (2) people! AVOID this place! read more

Food was tasty and everyone has their benchmark for huevos rancheros. I expected little and got more than I deserved with a delicious cup of coffee. Got here at 6:05 right after they opened. Both employees were friendly and provided a great experience overall. They thought I was a guest since this is connected to a hotel right next to it. I just said I'm just passing through like a tumbleweed with a good wind guiding it through parts unknown. Ambiance is what brought me here. Nothing else in town compares to this. Unfortunately no UFO touched down and took me away tonight some distant galaxy. Maybe next time. Support small biz and let them make you smile while you help a community that's struggling to survive. read more

I made an interesting choice today. Chili cheese double burger with onions and a side of onion rings. Amazingly, I survived and so did my digestive system! Quite tasty, a little messy and otherwise unremarkable. Service was warm enough and I had wifi to keep me entertained for the ten or so minutes it took for my late lunch / early dinner to be prepared. Cute restaurant with lots of merch available.

Very expensive breakfast 48.00 for 2 cups of coffee small glass of OJ 2eggs hash browns an toast and French toast, very slow service 45 min to bring out food order,looked like only 2 people working waitress and person who sat us that must have been the cook . Tables only bussed when new customers walked in. First time EVER I thought this was a rip off. Sorry folks at the dinner, you need some help or your very rich from charging these prices to the common man. Only 1/2 star review read more

This place is/was a neat little stop while traveling. Sadly it has become just another struggling overpriced destination. I can understand trying to make a profit. There is a fine line between profit and price gouging! And Space age has obliterated that line. $5.99 per Egg! As a side that is gouging at it's finest. $75.00 breakfast for 2!!! What was once a cute and fun little stop, has now become a gimicky overpriced disaster. It looks like they have been having issues with staying open and have had more than one grand "re-opening" lately. Just sad. No thank you. read more

Pretty decent food (major downside is the amount of grease) and cool decor. The air conditioner is LOUD so it was hard to speak to people. The service was good as well. Overall a good tourist spot. read more

I had higher hopes for an alien themed diner in the desert. Food was ok, but nothing special or that I would come back for. Service was friendly, but just expected more space/alien vibes. read more

This place was awful. We drove over an hour just to eat at this place and spent over $140. Most of the food came out of a can believe me you could tell. The prices were not worth the food. The food was cold and reheated and rubbery and tasted like maybe it was from the day before, it was tastless and cold. Service was not good we kept having to ask for the food they didn't bring the first time. Granted we were a party of 4 adults and 3 toddlers but there was not anyone else in the restaurant. My Husband was so disgusted he didn't eat his food but we're good people so we paid for it anyway and didn't complain but we will not ever eat here again and we will tell all our friends not to eat here. read more

I actually loved this place!!! The food was really good, they have an extended menu and the service was spot on. We ordered: Huevos rancheros- delicious with homemade salsa Biscuits and gravy- fresh made gravy Homemade smoothie and coffee Not sure why the reviews aren't the best because our service was spot on. When driving through this town you need to give this place e a shot. Would definitely go again! read more

The cleanliness is a 5 but it's the staff that sets Space Age above other options for a meal between Yuma and Tucson or Phoenix. Haven't had a meal here in 2 years that fell short of making us happy to return! Great theme! read more

Contrary to the horrible experiences some people have had, we had a perfectly fine breakfast here. It was included with our motel stay and a solid breakfast freshly prepared. We were greeted immediately upon entry and asked if we were from the motel. I think they segregate guests from other patrons as the motel breakfast is its own menu. Service was prompt and efficient. read more

Outside Ambiance: 3 Stars - Restaurant looks pretty cool but I wish they could go all out and add more spaceships, planets, astronauts/aliens on top of the building and in the front of the building and be more colorful. Outside of the building is a little outdated and just needs a little revamp. Inside Ambiance: 5 Stars - Very clean! Tables clean! Bathrooms clean! Floor clean! Awesome painted artwork on the walls, cool looking aliens hanging around, & nice simple gift shop. Service: 5 Stars - Greeted & welcomed! Seated quickly, drinks came quickly, food took perfect amount of time to come out for 2 adults & 4 kids(not too fast, not too long), checked in with us, & overall service was a joy! Food: 6 Stars - Drinks were cold & tasted great. We got a burger, it was cooked perfectly, bun was perfectly toasty, fries had a above average perfect crisp to them. We got country fried steak, it tasted as perfect as it could get, and the gravy was great! Kids got grilled cheeses and they might have been some of the best grilled cheeses one could have! read more

Strange place. Upon walking in we were told that they were under new management and that their prices have increased and hours changed. Prices were honestly kind of shocking. $7 for a drink, $12 for a milkshake, $23 for a burger. Basically Disneyland prices but you're just at a diner in the middle of the desert. Cool place with a cool history, but whatever the new owner is doing ain't it. Other people were sitting down, seeing the menu and leaving. It's a diner with a unique style, this isn't some premium luxury dining experience. I paid $15 for a tuna sandwich with onion rings. Onions rings were fresh and good, sandwich was mediocre. The person working was friendly and nice. The new hours are 9 am-1:30 pm. read more

Poor service, food is really lacking in flavor. Orders were not correct. And it took forever for it to get corrected. I didn't finish my lunch and about 70 miles down the road I stopped and found a better restaurant. read more

Please see my photo Page 3 of the menu. We were under impression that Dinners came with a choice of soup or a side salad, AND choice of potato. Apparently, Spaghetti and meatballs come with nothing to choose. Chicken tenders and Liver came with one choice of potato. The server did not know what was included. I chose this diner for the decore and the fact that there weren't many options between Tucson and Yuma. We got there a little after 1 pm on a holiday Monday in February. We waited a few minutes to be seated. We waited much longer than few minutes to place our order. We got our food after 2 pm. The service seemed extremely slow with just one person doing everything in the dining room. And she didn't seem knowledge about the menu. The food was so-so with two out of four dishes being good. It's possible we would have liked our food better had we not waited for it so long! Also, we were looking forward to items that we thought were included with the dinners such as a soup or salad. We would have ordered them separately if we were told right away that they were not included with the dinners. How is it clear from the menu that Liver and Onions comes with a choice of the potato but Spaghetti does not? We asked for soup and potato, but were told that only one item is included. Why potato, maybe we would rather have a soup? Giving it 3 stars because we did get to eat and the décor was cool. read more

I loved the Space decor. However the food and service wasn't that great. I went for lunch and it wasn't that busy. It looked like there was only one waitress working. I think she also had to make the food! I felt bad for her since she had to do everything. That's why it took a long time for me to receive my order. I had some chicken strips with half fries and half onion rings. The chicken strips were horrible! Tough and chewy. I couldn't eat them. The fries were okay. The onion rings were good. read more

Restaurant was clean including bathrooms. Food was excellent. I had a custom omelette (ham, sausage, cheese, mushroom) with home fries and rye toast. My partner had a belgium waffle with strawberries. Service was fast. I'll be eating here again next time I'm in Gila Bend! It looked to me like this place is now woman run (cook, hostess, and servers). They did a great job! read more

Food took 25 minutes to come out and the chicken was inedible. Tasted like the oil hadnt been changed in weeks and the onion rings were so over cooked the internal onions has disappeared. And the chef seemed to be allergic to adding seasoning. So glad won't be heading this way again. The only reason they get one star is the decor is fun. read more
