About
This is a classic, kitschy roadside stop that is perfect for a fun break during a long desert drive. Travelers love the alien-themed souvenirs and the photo ops. While some find the prices a bit high, most agree it is a must-see for the experience alone. The staff is generally friendly, and the diner in the back is a nice bonus.
