The flying saucer fountain is a tip-off that this is not your ordinary diner. But if you want to dine with an 8-foot-tall alien looking over your shoulder, this is the place for you. Spaceships adorn the ceiling, and the menu is full of out-of-this-world items like the Meteor Shower Shake, Cosmic Clam Chowder, Solar Salad and Chili Comet Burger.
Directions: 1655 W. Highway 89A, Sedona.
