"Love this place, even on a crowded, rainy day!" 8 years ago by Connie Skinner

Our family of 7 had lunch on a crowded, stormy day and had a great experience, thanks to our waiter, Mark. Three teenagers are hard to impress, but Mark kept us laughing and entertained the entire time we were there. During our meal, we discovered that our dog-sitter at home was locked out of the house. Later when we had the good news that all was well, our kids ran back to tell Mark! That's the kind of impression he left with us. Ask for him, if you can! Food was great, we all love the place and food allegies were addressed!

I've been going to WDW since 1973, and on my first visit to Disney/MGM Studios in 1990 I found this restaurant to be interesting, funny, and different... and surprisingly good food for a reasonable price. I've been back again and again, most recently in 2013 to enjoy the ambiance and the food. A great place.

"Good times :)" 10 years ago by Courtney

The food was fresh and warm and tasted great. We split the entree that comes with fried chicken, meat loaf, and pot roast. I loved the flavor of the fried chicken and the fact that the meat was nice and tender. The green beans that came as one of the sides had a good flavor to them without feeling like they were bathed in butter. We also had a peanut butter milkshake, which did not last long ;)

The only thing I would like to improve is the speed at which the food comes out. It wasn't gruellingly slow, but I did hear the server making comments to the table next to ours about how long their food was taking. Overall, still a great experience and we would love to go back.

"family favourite" 10 years ago by cinders66

We can not complete our holidy without a visit to the 50's Prime Time Cafe. We are looking forward to our August holiday I have already prebooked our reservation, my daughter (17) would not forgive me if we didn't eat here, she loves the pot roast and the choc. brownie dessert. The staff are fantastic, reminding my son(20) to keep his elbows off the table. This always puts a smile on our faces. I cannot recommend this enough. However be aware you NEED a sense of humour to done. I have read reports where some individuals have complained about the 'rude' service, remember the era and enjoy the experience. A must for my family, this wil be our 3rd visit, wish we had tried on previous visits!. Give it a try you are sure to enjoy your exoperience.
