Pizza
Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.

Space Aliens is a Mars themed Chucky Cheese's. The neon lights and theme are fun, but I wasn't particularly impressed with the video game selection. I wish they had at least one pinball machine or classic game, but I also understand I'm not their target customer (target arcade customer is kid age 8-12) Taylor was a very attentive bartender. I appreciated her high quality of service. It was also nice to see they had Shiner Bock on tap. Their BBQ pork had good flavor. I also enjoyed the different sauces that came with the dish. The fries in an upside-down birthday cone was an interesting presentation. My overall thoughts on the meal: it was fine. In the parlance of Stringer Bell, it was a 40-degree day. (...and with that pop culture reference, I just realized how many great alien movie references I should have dropped in here. I will have to save them for a more deserving alien themed arcade/dining establishment)

I was so thrilled about this place! How awesome it is to have a space-alien themed restaurant...and to eat the spaceship salad and outer space onion blossom :) So many collectibles in the display windows which I can buy them all. I suggest to have a cocktail menu that carry on all the space-related names! Service was really good.

Truckin through Fargo, North Dakota stopped in for lunch on a Tuesday...which happens to feel free token Tuesdays which means $2.50 in game tokens and $.99 kids pizza with a Adult entree... The service was good and the price with bonus was fair. I ordered there (Buffalo) Chicken tenders they were cooked fine...but they could have used a smaller plate then the three tenders would not look so small even with the loaded baked potato side the dish looked small. Great place to bring the kids fun and trippy.

I came here to abduct some food and I'm happy to announce that the mission was successful. The service by the servants of the aliens was friendly and prompt and the food was almost out of this world. Oh and sadly, there was no anal probing despite asking for it multiple times hence the 4 star rating.
(4)Madison W.
The food is awesome, I have always been a fan. But the service is not the best. It's a great option when you have kids who want to play in the game room, and don't mind if the service is slow!
(3)Ashley R.
When visiting this local Earth from galaxies far, far away try to stop by for some out of this world Taco Pizza and other stellar appetizers. Margaritas are a bit on the sweet side, but the jalapeños were surprisingly and deliciously spicy. The architecture, decor, and atmosphere are fun and campy overall but they play conflicting, crappy top 40s music.
(4)Josh L.
This restaurant was recommended by a local, and we decided to stop in on our cross-country road trip. Prior to stopping, all I knew is that they had some quirky pizzas. Their menu was surprisingly deep. After reading the menu, I was persuaded to violate my rule of not ordering BBQ above the Mason-Dixon Line. I tried the ribs with a side if Mac and cheese and baked beans. The ribs were done very well, and had a unique flavor (my only criticism was that the "bark" had a bit too much pull). The beans were exceptional, and contained generous amounts of pulled pork. The Mac and cheese was good but nothing special. Everyone in my family enjoyed their selections: Brisket- among the best I've tasted Cuban pizza Cheesy garlic bread pizza Service was also exceptional! Also, we were there on a Sunday afternoon, so it wasn't full of crazy screaming children! While the BBQ is not quite in league with a Pappy's (St. Louis), Central BBQ (Memphis), or 4 Rivers (Orlando), it is really good: well-cooked, flavorful, with very good texture! I wish we had one back home!
(4)Pat L.
The food was OK. Overpriced. Salad was wilted and dressing was olive oil and malt vinegar. Supposed to be vinegarette. Chicken was dry and tasteless. Service was good.
(2)Dean J.
The food was ok, potato only half cooked. Over priced, men's bathroom a mess. Kids enjoyed the games that were working. Server was ok.
(3)David B.
Obviously I'm not the target audience for this place, but you'd have to be pretty cold hearted for it to not bring out the kid in you. Space Aliens is a kid's fantasy land with Martian theming all over, a globe ceiling that's been cleverly painted to represent the night sky, planets dangling from the rafters, plenty of little green men scattered throughout, and of course an arcade corner. It really is a cool atmosphere, and the kids clearly love it. We need to clarify that you're not coming here for the food. It's subpar at best. The pizza is about as bland as I have ever had. The appetizers were overly salty. They claim to specialize in BBQ, but I just didn't have the courage to try it. 2 star food, 4 star atmosphere. Come for the eye catching outside, stay for the awesome atmosphere inside, and simply deal with the food.
(3)Steve E.
A great place to bring kids. Nice alien theme. We ordered brisket and boneless pork. Both were tough and dry. Need some quality time with a real pit master. Kids loved pizza, tho.
(3)Tim L.
BBQ is the way to go here. Ribs are good, pulled pork, but my favorite is the Martian Munchies (pork pieces) smothered in the BBQ sauce. If you get the choice of sides here the beans are really good and the baked potato is always done right. Matter of fact if you like the potato the loaded potato is a great choice as they smother it with cheese chicken and other good stuff.
(4)pheadrus t.
Exactly what we wanted while traveling through: great happy hour, simple and enjoyable place, and exceedingly friendly bartender (Phil). Arcades, booze, totally fun and ridiculous.

Sat in the bar, have been here before and decided to give it another try with friends and drinks. Kids are not allowed in the bar. This place has the decor down, it's awesome. Service - Excellent. On top of their game. Very attentive, fast everything. The beer - I had a Shock Top - it tasted very flat, old, and the lines needed to be cleaned. The orange it came with had seen better days. My friends has Bud, which tasted like it had really dirty lines. Gross. Don't order tap beer. Check. The Appetizers - We had the basic fried onion. It came out cold, had to send it back. Potato skins came out, they were pretty good - warm at least. They replaced the onion and it was better. Gave us 50% for the cold apps, that was nice at least. The Main Food - Oh good lord, help us all. I had the bacon chicken wrap. This was disgusting as all hell. I took a photo I will post later. The lettuce was the MAIN component, wilted, old, dirty, food born illness waiting to happen later in my stomach. The chicken was breaded, fried, and very soggy like dog food. The chicken was not very abundant and there was only about one to three pieces in both sides of the wrap cut in half. Pieces - smaller than a dime size. It tasted awful. It should have been a $1.00 wrap....the fries were ice cold. I didn't want to send them back. I just gave up. lol. My friend had the brisket wrap, it looked 400 TIMES BIGGER than mine and it tasted much better. He liked it. My sister has the martian munchies, very fatty meat ribs? But they were better as well. Tasted like fried meat in a Chinese sauce. Others had big baked potatoes - those are hard to screw up and looked fine. Cleanliness - The kitchen looked in poor shape my friends. There was a entire garbage can tipped over on the floor the employees were stepping over, looked very unsanitary. This was confirmed by our crew's stomach issues after eating. (Evacuate, Evacuate!) Anything that is raw, or supposed to be fresh like salad should NOT be eaten from this establishment. It's disgusting. The bathrooms needed some help as well...won't go into detail. Overall, if you're going to come here. Have kids and play games and don't eat anything. Or drink hard liquor and eat pop corn and a onion appetizer.
(2)Justin S.
Not impressed or even satisfied. Don't come enless you just want to eat a burger and play games.
(2)Dave F.
We thought we would give this place a try. I've got to be honest, the food was not good at all. We ordered the barbecue brisket and shared it. It was so fatty. There was very little meat on the five or six pieces of meat that they brought us. We are talking very low quality brisket. We would not order this again. Our kids had the macaroni & cheese pizza and the mozzarella sticks. The only thing that saved the meal was the mozzarella sticks. And those are the kind you get from Cisco. It's really hard to mess those up! In short, although the service was good, we will not be eating here again.
(2)Bryce M.
Neat idea. Poor service, over priced, and food that just wasn't very good. The menu and website would have you believe that BBQ is their thing. DO NOT BELIEVE THAT. No one in our party, a mix of 6 - 15 year olds and several adults, finished their entrée or the appetizers. Although nothing was disgusting, it just wasn't very good (improperly cooked, bland). With so many dining options in Fargo, pass on Space Aliens and try something else - your wallet and your taste buds will thank you.
(1)Adrienne O.
Took my three little kids here for my daughter's birthday. Because it was a Tuesday, each kid got a pizza for less than two bucks (try the mac and cheese pizza - big hit with our family). Dad and I ordered beers which came totally flat. I took them back to the bar and the bartender was super friendly, said he would fix it and bring new ones out to us. He did and they were great. Food was good and not unreasonable. But what really caught me off guard was the amazing attitude of the servers. They were all completely calm amidst the chaos, really engaging with my kids, treating dad and I like guests, always with smiles and helpful suggestions. At one point we had seven forks on the floor and the server came with a new one without us even asking again - smiling! This is now our go-to birthday spot.

I remember once, a few years ago, eating here for some pre-wedding dinner with the family and not being too impressed at the time. I wouldn't have repeated the experience were it not for wanting my son to be able to check out the decor, which is pretty cool. Fair warning, though, for the kids, there is a game room and unless they're slightly older, you can salt away and forget about them eating anything, but instead wanting to wander around and look at all the flashing lights of the rather miniscule game selection...and they have tickets. Wheeee. Maybe they are right, though. The food here doesn't get much above dreadful. I sampled the pizza and it was on a level somehow below Chuck E. Cheese. Again, Diet Mt. Dew on tap and the mix was decent. My wife had some sort of plate she tried to make vegetarian and they very nicely gave her basically tomato sauce instead of salsa. As for me, I ordered the All You Can Eat special they had, which includes things called Martian Munchies, ribs, brisket and pulled pork. I also got both regular fries (not worth eating) and sweet potato fries (arguably the best of the lot). The Martian Munchies are basically pork strips/rectangles, fried enough to cook them and give them some shape and then drowned, literally, in BBQ sauce. That these were the best of the meat selections is telling indeed and if I were to consider re-upping on any of the meat (*ahem* OH HELL NO!), it would have been that. The pulled pork was kind of like mushy dog food and I got about two bites in, the second because I couldn't believe how bad it was and then rejected the rest. The brisket has grill marks on it. This means that they cross-cut it and grill it, which means it has about the consistency of rubbery leather. I've seen beef jerky more tender. I've MADE beef jerky more tender, come to think of it. That left the ribs, which were below average, but I manage to finish them. This place clearly poured all of its money into decor, which is impressive to a degree perhaps approaching a museum. Nearly every surface has some kind of alien or space motif to it, some of them very cleverly integrated. The food is beyond terrible and is possibly served on one of the levels of Dante's Hell and the service here is mostly of the afterthought variety, but don't come for that. Come for the pleasure of walking in a vault door ala the Fallout video games, though not quite that level of cool. Come to let your kid play mediocre video games and slog through that substandard food while you slug down beer and hope the place hasn't contaminated that yet. Get the Martian Munchies and sweet potato fries, which are relatively safe and hope for the best. In this way, you can enjoy what will hopefully be your one and only visit to this place.
(2)Khiem L.
When I saw the name and the place, I wondered why in the world I would want to go in here. But it turns out to be better than you'd expect. The environment is reminiscent of a Chuck E Cheese but with aliens and alcohol. So much alcohol. I had the fries here and they are crisp with a light seasoning on top. The various dips are good. I had the cajun ranch and the nacho cheese. Bueno. I had the Neptune Burger on the lunch special with a loaded baked potato. The burger was a bit dry but the onion ring and sauces inside are great. The loaded baked potato measures about the size of a Nerf football and is loaded all the way. It was a mistake but I ate the entire plate. I didn't partake in too many games but it looked like I could be come a kid again in this place. Don't expect too much from the food or anything but take it for what it is. It's meant to amuse kids with the games and the adults with the booze.
(4)Lyndsey S.
Should've stick to ordering barbecue. Stay away from the burgers! It's also one of the dirtiest places I've ever been to eat. Not sure we will ever go back.
(2)Erin W.
I essentially am forced here against my will as the kids love it. The food is just not good. Meat is overcooked and dry and the fries tasted stale. Even the chocolate cake was dry and not impressive. None of the staff looked even remotely happy to be working here. It's dirty, sticky and gross from the tables to the salt shakers to the overpriced games and chintzy toys. I do like that they have gone away from tickets and use a card now which makes things easier. All in all I come here only when I can't convince my kids to go anywhere else.
(1)Kevin E.
I have never visited the one located in St Cloud even after 8 years. But since this one was right next to my hotel I figured why not. I figured wrong, I got the BBG two meats, one was Martian Muchies (Pork Strips) and Brisket. Pork strips were below average, the Brisket was 99% fat 1 % meat. Best thing about this meal was the Server who was good and the free popcorn. I can say without a doubt this was my one and only visit to this chain ever.
(1)Joshua S.
Used to come here quite a bit years back for the Taco Burger and loved it. Came here for lunch two weeks ago and had the crispy chicken sandwich and fries. The sandwich was hard and the order was wrong (I had buffalo style and they forgot the buffalo).... Decided to give it another try yesterday with my girlfriend at lunch. The restaurant was busy so we opted for a booth in the bar where there was plenty of seating and not very busy. Took over ten minutes for the waiter to come over. No drink menus anymore, he was unsure of what brand of wines they had, and it was annoying. If you have no drink menus you probably want to know what you have behind the bar. Anyways, ordered an alien burger and she ordered a buffalo chicken sandwich. After we ordered I went to the restroom. It was terrible. It stunk and someone must have toilet papered the place because it was everywhere. It was gross to say the least. Anyways, waiter rarely came back. He didn't bring ketchup or mayo after we asked so literally ten minutes later we had to ask again. Then, i took a bite into my burger and I kid you not it was hard as charcoal. I ate half and called it quits. Probably will never go back. They need help turning this place back around.
(2)Erica R.
My son loved it his chicken was great my chicken bacon wrap was really gross no bacon flavor barely any turkey it was placed on a wet plate turning the tortilla into a slimy sticky mess and in a foolish attempt to make it better they loaded it with cheese and shredded lettuce fries are good but I horribly regret ordering this wrap. The manager? Dustin b. Talked it up w his friends for like 20 min. A table sat dirty next to him for 30 minutes and there were fruit flys!
(1)Jon T.
Worst Food in the Universe! Not to mention the service and ambience. If doing a kids party, it's an option, but not even close to the best one in town.

Awesomeness! Supreme Awesomeness! This place rules... So I'm in town this past weekend (seriously?!) and we drove past this place a couple times, and decided on Sunday to stop in for a bite to eat. From the entrance you know that you're going to enter a strange and wonderful place. My friends who are from Fargo said that this place is kind of like Chuck E. Cheese...which of course solidified this as the lunch spot of choice for the day. We sat at the "Bar from Mars," which of course is absolute genius. All the parts of the restaurant/arcade are sectioned off and named different things, like Bar from Mars, and Area 51 and such. My friends decided to run off and play some skeeball. Unfortunately I didn't make it to the arcade, which is OK, because the food and decor was awesome enough for me to not care. I ordered the buffalo chicken wrap and so did someone else I was with. My friend got chicken strips, and another friend got the steak. My other friend got the giant stuffed baked potato (which comes complete with brisquit on top...JEEEZZ!!). Everyone's food was yummy, except for my other friend, who ordered something called the Marsian Munchies or something that didn't taste very good, but ah well, i didnt get it! My yummy wrap came with fries, and you get a choice of 2 sauces. I got spicy ketchup and NACHO CHEESE!!! YUMZZZZ!!! Cheese fries!!!! Who loves cheese fries? EVERYONE! I want to go back to Fargo right now just to eat here! Our waiter was so cool and nice and fun so we tipped accordingly...This place rules...simple and plain.

Really not so good. Terrible service... Mediocre food... Only worth it with lots of buy one get one free coupons.
(2)Jordan H.
Between the funny names for the food and the as-expected noise of children playing, Space Aliens cooks up some pretty decent food. Other people seem to enjoy their giant baked potato, but I had a standard cheeseburger and fries that came out much better than I expected. We sat right in the middle of everything, so we heard all the sounds that are made in the building. Despite that, we were still able to hear each other talk (a table of four) and enjoyed our meal. There's a sports bar area for adults that may have been better for conversation, too. I would definitely go back.

Yeah, I know. What was I thinking? A space alien themed restaurant? I was hoping for an out of this world rib experience. After all, their web site claimed "Judged America's Best Ribs at the National Bar-B-Que Convention Cook-off in Memphis, Tennessee!" and when I mentioned I was hankering after ribs to the hotel receptionists they got all hot and excited over this place's offerings. By this time my resistance was low, girls talking dirty about ribs and dry rubs. The space alien theme was forgotten, it was a done deal. First off, the space alien theme. You know, if you let your inner kid come out, it's quite fun and I can understand how parents could easily give this place four stars just because the kids wil be so enthralled by it they will get to eat in peace. Not so bad. As for the ribs? I can only imagine the day they were judged in Memphis, some of America's great pitmasters whose ribs have had me drooling must have been watching something good on TV. They were OK in a Chilis kind of way. Falling off the bone? Sure but more in a dry way than a juicy way. The rub added nothing to them and both the house sauces failed to lift them. The potato was kind of dried out inside with a soggy skin and the coleslaw was warm and lacked the sharp tang I enjoy when down south. All in all, OK, scratched the rib itch. A little pricey but in no way could they be described as America's best ribs. As for the alien theme? Totally cool!
(3)Tristan C.
What can I honestly say about this place. Its too bright for a late night supper!!! LOL!! The whole place feels like a god dang arcades. It doesnt even feel like a restaurant. Our server sounded like he came from another planet, the steak was rubbery. The only best thing about this place was the damn cheap drinks. Hell they got some huge drinks for cheaps. If you are looking to have fun and get drunk, this might be heaven for you, but if you are here for dinner. Hmmm, think again. Think twice. All and all, its still a must see though if you are in town just so that you can say that you have been in a spaceship restaurant once!
(3)Michael M.
A nice little stop in Fargo. The prices are good, the food is good and the place is unique. They have a fantastic drink menu. it has a 50's area 51 kind of feel. I will be visiting again! It's not fine dining, more like "fun dining"!
(4)Dee S.
One step up from a Chuck E Cheese far from a Dave and Busters. This place is Aliens in neon. Bright lighted aliens all over the place. Not scary so the kids are fine here. They tout their award winning ribs. Well, the ribs had good taste and I like the 'not too much sauce' way they are served. But, I just wish they were served with award winning quality . Ribs were too dry. In fact all the barbecue was too dry, brisket, chicken breast, ribs. Fries were pretty good. Most of the games were just put a coin in and see how many tickets you can win. Sometimes you have to hit a button or something. They give you $5 worth of tokens with a purchase of a dessert. They do have a $10 special, chicken, one othe I'm not sure how much the cost of the dessert. Anyway, between the three of us we were able to earn about 1200 tickets, enough to get a lighted up neon head for the 'kid''s dorm room.
(2)Oro O.
Came here for lunch a while back. Like Melissa, I really enjoyed the atmosphere and decoration. Her description's pretty much on the dot :) There are two sections to this place: Family and Bar. I was at the Bar and my table had a touch screen monitor (accepts bills) for us to play while we wait for our food... or whenever! :D That helped pass the time too quickly, hehe. Food was pretty decent, but not to die for. It's a must visit if you're in the area :)
(4)Proteus D.
Had a great fun night here with some work colleagues. We were a little apprehensive at the place would be swarming with kids but at 8:00pm it wasn't and anyway we sat in the bar and ate which is kid-free. The place is unique but the food is average. They claim the ribs are the best in America, but while they were tasty they were not really cooked very well. Certainly not slow-cooked which is how I like my Pork. We had a crazy time with the games, however many of them were not working which was a little disappointing. Come here for a good time with friends, it's cheap and a laugh and you can eat as much as you like BBQ for about $12. We all thought we had done pretty well at the end of the night...but only ended up with 145 credits which got us .... 6 alien themed pencils :-)
(3)Matt B.
The service was good but they srewed up my order, I wanted a well done streak yet they gave me a medium rare so I had them recook it. Other then that it was good.
(2)Teresa K.
Tons of tasty choices, reasonably priced and kitchy decor. What more could you want? I recommend the baked potatos, martian munchies and roasted chicken.
(5)Trevor B.
I like the buffalow chicken Pizza however I don't like all the screaming kids running around...

I lived in Fargo last summer and this was one of my favorite places to go eat. The giant potatoes they have are literally "out of this world" and so tasty! Wash it down with a beer or a shot of tequila.
(4)Randy H.
For years we've worked-in a stop at Aliens while motoring to and from Montana. It's an eclectic place. I'm not so into the alien theme but my kids (particularly when younger) thought it was pretty cool. All I care about are those dry-rubbed ribs. If you like this style, they are as good as you'll have (except perhaps Mpls Market BBQ). Initially, this place was a real find but now we've got a couple in MN. Never mind. I still love those ribs.

BBQ is the way to go here. Ribs are good, pulled pork, but my favorite is the Martian Munchies (pork pieces) smothered in the BBQ sauce. If you get the choice of sides here the beans are really good and the baked potato is always done right. Matter of fact if you like the potato the loaded potato is a great choice as they smother it with cheese chicken and other good stuff.

Exactly what we wanted while traveling through: great happy hour, simple and enjoyable place, and exceedingly friendly bartender (Phil). Arcades, booze, totally fun and ridiculous.

Sat in the bar, have been here before and decided to give it another try with friends and drinks. Kids are not allowed in the bar. This place has the decor down, it's awesome. Service - Excellent. On top of their game. Very attentive, fast everything. The beer - I had a Shock Top - it tasted very flat, old, and the lines needed to be cleaned. The orange it came with had seen better days. My friends has Bud, which tasted like it had really dirty lines. Gross. Don't order tap beer. Check. The Appetizers - We had the basic fried onion. It came out cold, had to send it back. Potato skins came out, they were pretty good - warm at least. They replaced the onion and it was better. Gave us 50% for the cold apps, that was nice at least. The Main Food - Oh good lord, help us all. I had the bacon chicken wrap. This was disgusting as all hell. I took a photo I will post later. The lettuce was the MAIN component, wilted, old, dirty, food born illness waiting to happen later in my stomach. The chicken was breaded, fried, and very soggy like dog food. The chicken was not very abundant and there was only about one to three pieces in both sides of the wrap cut in half. Pieces - smaller than a dime size. It tasted awful. It should have been a $1.00 wrap....the fries were ice cold. I didn't want to send them back. I just gave up. lol. My friend had the brisket wrap, it looked 400 TIMES BIGGER than mine and it tasted much better. He liked it. My sister has the martian munchies, very fatty meat ribs? But they were better as well. Tasted like fried meat in a Chinese sauce. Others had big baked potatoes - those are hard to screw up and looked fine. Cleanliness - The kitchen looked in poor shape my friends. There was a entire garbage can tipped over on the floor the employees were stepping over, looked very unsanitary. This was confirmed by our crew's stomach issues after eating. (Evacuate, Evacuate!) Anything that is raw, or supposed to be fresh like salad should NOT be eaten from this establishment. It's disgusting. The bathrooms needed some help as well...won't go into detail. Overall, if you're going to come here. Have kids and play games and don't eat anything. Or drink hard liquor and eat pop corn and a onion appetizer.

Not impressed or even satisfied. Don't come enless you just want to eat a burger and play games.

We thought we would give this place a try. I've got to be honest, the food was not good at all. We ordered the barbecue brisket and shared it. It was so fatty. There was very little meat on the five or six pieces of meat that they brought us. We are talking very low quality brisket. We would not order this again. Our kids had the macaroni & cheese pizza and the mozzarella sticks. The only thing that saved the meal was the mozzarella sticks. And those are the kind you get from Cisco. It's really hard to mess those up! In short, although the service was good, we will not be eating here again.
(2)Bryce M.
Neat idea. Poor service, over priced, and food that just wasn't very good. The menu and website would have you believe that BBQ is their thing. DO NOT BELIEVE THAT. No one in our party, a mix of 6 - 15 year olds and several adults, finished their entrée or the appetizers. Although nothing was disgusting, it just wasn't very good (improperly cooked, bland). With so many dining options in Fargo, pass on Space Aliens and try something else - your wallet and your taste buds will thank you.

Took my three little kids here for my daughter's birthday. Because it was a Tuesday, each kid got a pizza for less than two bucks (try the mac and cheese pizza - big hit with our family). Dad and I ordered beers which came totally flat. I took them back to the bar and the bartender was super friendly, said he would fix it and bring new ones out to us. He did and they were great. Food was good and not unreasonable. But what really caught me off guard was the amazing attitude of the servers. They were all completely calm amidst the chaos, really engaging with my kids, treating dad and I like guests, always with smiles and helpful suggestions. At one point we had seven forks on the floor and the server came with a new one without us even asking again - smiling! This is now our go-to birthday spot.

I remember once, a few years ago, eating here for some pre-wedding dinner with the family and not being too impressed at the time. I wouldn't have repeated the experience were it not for wanting my son to be able to check out the decor, which is pretty cool. Fair warning, though, for the kids, there is a game room and unless they're slightly older, you can salt away and forget about them eating anything, but instead wanting to wander around and look at all the flashing lights of the rather miniscule game selection...and they have tickets. Wheeee. Maybe they are right, though. The food here doesn't get much above dreadful. I sampled the pizza and it was on a level somehow below Chuck E. Cheese. Again, Diet Mt. Dew on tap and the mix was decent. My wife had some sort of plate she tried to make vegetarian and they very nicely gave her basically tomato sauce instead of salsa. As for me, I ordered the All You Can Eat special they had, which includes things called Martian Munchies, ribs, brisket and pulled pork. I also got both regular fries (not worth eating) and sweet potato fries (arguably the best of the lot). The Martian Munchies are basically pork strips/rectangles, fried enough to cook them and give them some shape and then drowned, literally, in BBQ sauce. That these were the best of the meat selections is telling indeed and if I were to consider re-upping on any of the meat (*ahem* OH HELL NO!), it would have been that. The pulled pork was kind of like mushy dog food and I got about two bites in, the second because I couldn't believe how bad it was and then rejected the rest. The brisket has grill marks on it. This means that they cross-cut it and grill it, which means it has about the consistency of rubbery leather. I've seen beef jerky more tender. I've MADE beef jerky more tender, come to think of it. That left the ribs, which were below average, but I manage to finish them. This place clearly poured all of its money into decor, which is impressive to a degree perhaps approaching a museum. Nearly every surface has some kind of alien or space motif to it, some of them very cleverly integrated. The food is beyond terrible and is possibly served on one of the levels of Dante's Hell and the service here is mostly of the afterthought variety, but don't come for that. Come for the pleasure of walking in a vault door ala the Fallout video games, though not quite that level of cool. Come to let your kid play mediocre video games and slog through that substandard food while you slug down beer and hope the place hasn't contaminated that yet. Get the Martian Munchies and sweet potato fries, which are relatively safe and hope for the best. In this way, you can enjoy what will hopefully be your one and only visit to this place.

When I saw the name and the place, I wondered why in the world I would want to go in here. But it turns out to be better than you'd expect. The environment is reminiscent of a Chuck E Cheese but with aliens and alcohol. So much alcohol. I had the fries here and they are crisp with a light seasoning on top. The various dips are good. I had the cajun ranch and the nacho cheese. Bueno. I had the Neptune Burger on the lunch special with a loaded baked potato. The burger was a bit dry but the onion ring and sauces inside are great. The loaded baked potato measures about the size of a Nerf football and is loaded all the way. It was a mistake but I ate the entire plate. I didn't partake in too many games but it looked like I could be come a kid again in this place. Don't expect too much from the food or anything but take it for what it is. It's meant to amuse kids with the games and the adults with the booze.

Should've stick to ordering barbecue. Stay away from the burgers! It's also one of the dirtiest places I've ever been to eat. Not sure we will ever go back.
(2)Erin W.
I essentially am forced here against my will as the kids love it. The food is just not good. Meat is overcooked and dry and the fries tasted stale. Even the chocolate cake was dry and not impressive. None of the staff looked even remotely happy to be working here. It's dirty, sticky and gross from the tables to the salt shakers to the overpriced games and chintzy toys. I do like that they have gone away from tickets and use a card now which makes things easier. All in all I come here only when I can't convince my kids to go anywhere else.

I have never visited the one located in St Cloud even after 8 years. But since this one was right next to my hotel I figured why not. I figured wrong, I got the BBG two meats, one was Martian Muchies (Pork Strips) and Brisket. Pork strips were below average, the Brisket was 99% fat 1 % meat. Best thing about this meal was the Server who was good and the free popcorn. I can say without a doubt this was my one and only visit to this chain ever.

Used to come here quite a bit years back for the Taco Burger and loved it. Came here for lunch two weeks ago and had the crispy chicken sandwich and fries. The sandwich was hard and the order was wrong (I had buffalo style and they forgot the buffalo).... Decided to give it another try yesterday with my girlfriend at lunch. The restaurant was busy so we opted for a booth in the bar where there was plenty of seating and not very busy. Took over ten minutes for the waiter to come over. No drink menus anymore, he was unsure of what brand of wines they had, and it was annoying. If you have no drink menus you probably want to know what you have behind the bar. Anyways, ordered an alien burger and she ordered a buffalo chicken sandwich. After we ordered I went to the restroom. It was terrible. It stunk and someone must have toilet papered the place because it was everywhere. It was gross to say the least. Anyways, waiter rarely came back. He didn't bring ketchup or mayo after we asked so literally ten minutes later we had to ask again. Then, i took a bite into my burger and I kid you not it was hard as charcoal. I ate half and called it quits. Probably will never go back. They need help turning this place back around.

My son loved it his chicken was great my chicken bacon wrap was really gross no bacon flavor barely any turkey it was placed on a wet plate turning the tortilla into a slimy sticky mess and in a foolish attempt to make it better they loaded it with cheese and shredded lettuce fries are good but I horribly regret ordering this wrap. The manager? Dustin b. Talked it up w his friends for like 20 min. A table sat dirty next to him for 30 minutes and there were fruit flys!
(1)Jon T.
Worst Food in the Universe! Not to mention the service and ambience. If doing a kids party, it's an option, but not even close to the best one in town.

Awesomeness! Supreme Awesomeness! This place rules... So I'm in town this past weekend (seriously?!) and we drove past this place a couple times, and decided on Sunday to stop in for a bite to eat. From the entrance you know that you're going to enter a strange and wonderful place. My friends who are from Fargo said that this place is kind of like Chuck E. Cheese...which of course solidified this as the lunch spot of choice for the day. We sat at the "Bar from Mars," which of course is absolute genius. All the parts of the restaurant/arcade are sectioned off and named different things, like Bar from Mars, and Area 51 and such. My friends decided to run off and play some skeeball. Unfortunately I didn't make it to the arcade, which is OK, because the food and decor was awesome enough for me to not care. I ordered the buffalo chicken wrap and so did someone else I was with. My friend got chicken strips, and another friend got the steak. My other friend got the giant stuffed baked potato (which comes complete with brisquit on top...JEEEZZ!!). Everyone's food was yummy, except for my other friend, who ordered something called the Marsian Munchies or something that didn't taste very good, but ah well, i didnt get it! My yummy wrap came with fries, and you get a choice of 2 sauces. I got spicy ketchup and NACHO CHEESE!!! YUMZZZZ!!! Cheese fries!!!! Who loves cheese fries? EVERYONE! I want to go back to Fargo right now just to eat here! Our waiter was so cool and nice and fun so we tipped accordingly...This place rules...simple and plain.

Really not so good. Terrible service... Mediocre food... Only worth it with lots of buy one get one free coupons.

Between the funny names for the food and the as-expected noise of children playing, Space Aliens cooks up some pretty decent food. Other people seem to enjoy their giant baked potato, but I had a standard cheeseburger and fries that came out much better than I expected. We sat right in the middle of everything, so we heard all the sounds that are made in the building. Despite that, we were still able to hear each other talk (a table of four) and enjoyed our meal. There's a sports bar area for adults that may have been better for conversation, too. I would definitely go back.

Yeah, I know. What was I thinking? A space alien themed restaurant? I was hoping for an out of this world rib experience. After all, their web site claimed "Judged America's Best Ribs at the National Bar-B-Que Convention Cook-off in Memphis, Tennessee!" and when I mentioned I was hankering after ribs to the hotel receptionists they got all hot and excited over this place's offerings. By this time my resistance was low, girls talking dirty about ribs and dry rubs. The space alien theme was forgotten, it was a done deal. First off, the space alien theme. You know, if you let your inner kid come out, it's quite fun and I can understand how parents could easily give this place four stars just because the kids wil be so enthralled by it they will get to eat in peace. Not so bad. As for the ribs? I can only imagine the day they were judged in Memphis, some of America's great pitmasters whose ribs have had me drooling must have been watching something good on TV. They were OK in a Chilis kind of way. Falling off the bone? Sure but more in a dry way than a juicy way. The rub added nothing to them and both the house sauces failed to lift them. The potato was kind of dried out inside with a soggy skin and the coleslaw was warm and lacked the sharp tang I enjoy when down south. All in all, OK, scratched the rib itch. A little pricey but in no way could they be described as America's best ribs. As for the alien theme? Totally cool!

What can I honestly say about this place. Its too bright for a late night supper!!! LOL!! The whole place feels like a god dang arcades. It doesnt even feel like a restaurant. Our server sounded like he came from another planet, the steak was rubbery. The only best thing about this place was the damn cheap drinks. Hell they got some huge drinks for cheaps. If you are looking to have fun and get drunk, this might be heaven for you, but if you are here for dinner. Hmmm, think again. Think twice. All and all, its still a must see though if you are in town just so that you can say that you have been in a spaceship restaurant once!
(3)Michael M.
A nice little stop in Fargo. The prices are good, the food is good and the place is unique. They have a fantastic drink menu. it has a 50's area 51 kind of feel. I will be visiting again! It's not fine dining, more like "fun dining"!

One step up from a Chuck E Cheese far from a Dave and Busters. This place is Aliens in neon. Bright lighted aliens all over the place. Not scary so the kids are fine here. They tout their award winning ribs. Well, the ribs had good taste and I like the 'not too much sauce' way they are served. But, I just wish they were served with award winning quality . Ribs were too dry. In fact all the barbecue was too dry, brisket, chicken breast, ribs. Fries were pretty good. Most of the games were just put a coin in and see how many tickets you can win. Sometimes you have to hit a button or something. They give you $5 worth of tokens with a purchase of a dessert. They do have a $10 special, chicken, one othe I'm not sure how much the cost of the dessert. Anyway, between the three of us we were able to earn about 1200 tickets, enough to get a lighted up neon head for the 'kid''s dorm room.

Came here for lunch a while back. Like Melissa, I really enjoyed the atmosphere and decoration. Her description's pretty much on the dot :) There are two sections to this place: Family and Bar. I was at the Bar and my table had a touch screen monitor (accepts bills) for us to play while we wait for our food... or whenever! :D That helped pass the time too quickly, hehe. Food was pretty decent, but not to die for. It's a must visit if you're in the area :)

Had a great fun night here with some work colleagues. We were a little apprehensive at the place would be swarming with kids but at 8:00pm it wasn't and anyway we sat in the bar and ate which is kid-free. The place is unique but the food is average. They claim the ribs are the best in America, but while they were tasty they were not really cooked very well. Certainly not slow-cooked which is how I like my Pork. We had a crazy time with the games, however many of them were not working which was a little disappointing. Come here for a good time with friends, it's cheap and a laugh and you can eat as much as you like BBQ for about $12. We all thought we had done pretty well at the end of the night...but only ended up with 145 credits which got us .... 6 alien themed pencils :-)
(3)Matt B.
The service was good but they srewed up my order, I wanted a well done streak yet they gave me a medium rare so I had them recook it. Other then that it was good.
(2)Teresa K.
Tons of tasty choices, reasonably priced and kitchy decor. What more could you want? I recommend the baked potatos, martian munchies and roasted chicken.
(5)Trevor B.
I like the buffalow chicken Pizza however I don't like all the screaming kids running around...

I lived in Fargo last summer and this was one of my favorite places to go eat. The giant potatoes they have are literally "out of this world" and so tasty! Wash it down with a beer or a shot of tequila.
(4)Randy H.
For years we've worked-in a stop at Aliens while motoring to and from Montana. It's an eclectic place. I'm not so into the alien theme but my kids (particularly when younger) thought it was pretty cool. All I care about are those dry-rubbed ribs. If you like this style, they are as good as you'll have (except perhaps Mpls Market BBQ). Initially, this place was a real find but now we've got a couple in MN. Never mind. I still love those ribs.

Giant stuffed Taco Baked Potato!! YUMMO

Staff - excellent, but I went there for the food. Taco Salad was ok at best. Most likely will not return.
