The exterior is eye-catching, and the interior of the bubble dome above the motel check-in counter -- including a mural of the moon landing -- is worth a quick peek.

Shocked these guys don't sell stickers! But worth a stop.

Odd and fun stop-off in the middle of nowhere to grab a not-bad-burger or stay overnight, as there is a hotel attached.

This is a great little restaurant and a real blast from the past! We were raised in the 1960s Space Age and Cold War era. We have a ten-year-old son and we try to raise him in a world more like we knew when we were children. Being able to show him this restaurant and the amazing photos on the wall, which even include a Russian cosmonaut, was great. Not to mention the food was terrific American food much like I grew up with before cholesterol was an issue and no one had ever heard of organic. Our visit was for lunch on the way to Disneyland and we liked it so much we just had to have supper there on our return trip.
If you are on the highway anywhere near Gila Bed you have to stop at this place, especially if you grew up in the sixties. Can't wait for my next excuse to swing by again. The restaurant is also part of a hotel, but we did not stay there as we were only passing through.

Fantastic! Still as 60's as ever. The place was immaculate. Fun and funky. Don't miss out on this one.

Not as impressed on our visit this year. Exterior is eye-catching. Interior space and astronaut paintings are newish renderings from NASA photos of Apollo and shuttle missions -- and a little too slick. The bubble dome above the motel check-in counter was worth a quick peek, illustrated with more manned space travel orthodoxy.
