Magic Time Machine (The)

Magic Time Machine is a fun, unique, and different way to dine. If you want a meal with lots of entertainment and fun you should definitely check it out. Magic Time Machine is a restaurant that is filled with character and characters from wall to wall and top to bottom. The whole restaurant is decorated in different themes and places. There is a school bus and a classroom, a dunce hat, a holiday room, an eater room, a hut, and many other themes. This is one of the things that makes the places fun. Along with the unique decorations and places, the servers are dressed up as characters and they act just like them the whole time you are eating. They all walk around and talk to you and act silly. When we went we had Ace Ventura Pet Detective. He threw napkins at us and started a sugar packet fight with the table next to us. It was pretty fun. The characters will do all kinds of crazy and funny stunts to keep you entertained.

The food at Magic Time Machine is not nearly as good as the entertainment but it is good. Don’t be disappointed because you definitely pay more for the entertainment than you do for the food. Most of the meals are around $12 to $15 and are a generous portion. All the meals come with a trip to the salad car, which is also a big highlight of the experience. The salad car is an old fashion type car that is called and described by your server to fit their personality. For example: Batman it’s the bat mobile, Cinderella it’s the pumpkin carriage. Whatever character your server is they make the cart fit and tell you what all is in their car (the salad fixings). It is really impressive and neat to hear all the different characters describe it. One of the hit items on the menu and one of the things I ordered is their smoking drink, it is served in a variety of colors and is server foaming and smoking. It is pretty cool.

The Magic Time Machine is definitely a place for kids, it has a relaxed and laid back atmosphere and you can almost let the kids run around like animals. They provide the kids with autograph books so they can get autographs from their characters and they encourage you to look around and explore the restaurant. The great part about that is that everyone who goes there knows this and has no problems with onlookers. One thing I will remind you of though is not to ask where the bathroom is. You will get taken through the whole restaurant, with everyone knowing you need to go. This is also a place for the adults, upstairs is an arcade and a bar.

Magic Time Machine’s hours are: M-Th 4:29 - 10:01 F 4:29- 10:31 and Sat and Sun only 10:59am – 10:31pm
