The restaurant was super busy with reservations & they were able to seat us as a walk-up within 25 minutes. Our server was cousin Tiegan from Antioch, IL & she made our dining experience even more enjoyable. She was very attentive & witty. I had the salmon (the salmon was cooked perfectly medium) & my partner had Aunt Liz’s golden fried chicken. The chicken was moist with crispy skin. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting the park.
Look, real talk. The food here is absolutely excellent. I’ve been to Disney about 20 times with my family (we’re from the Midwest) and we have never eaten here before. This is the best bang for your buck that I have ever found and I’m wondering why it took me so long to get here to this restaurant. The meal right before this was the Beast Castle and it to be honest it was not as good of food compared to this. We saved hundreds of dollars and the food was better. Love the 50s environment. Our waiter had some great pro-tips for us while we were in the park also.
DO NOT listen to any mediocre or bad review you see about this restraurant. I was nervous to eat here based on a few reviews here, but I promise they're all wrong. The food was so so so so yummy and the portions were HUGE! The service was phenomenal, my water cup was constantly refilled and my server just brought new soda without me even having to ask. The decor was sooo cute and interesting to look at. Every cast member at the restaurant was so kind, helpful, and attentive. I have no idea how anyone can eat here and enjoy this experience and have a bad time. Definitely get lunch or dinner here!! It's so worth it!!!
This place was outstanding!!! Never been here until today. We got way more than we expected. It was busy but service was still good and Cousin Noel was friendly and accommodating. If I was going to voice a concern about something, it would be that the pot roast could have been hotter. Flavor was excellent. There was three in our party and we all “cleaned our plate”. Definitely will come here again, my daughter said if we did not have dinner plans the following night she would want to come here again. Pork chop in gravy was so yummy. Meatloaf was almost as good as my little sister’s recipe. I went in with a fried chicken craving but had to try it all. This place is one for the memory books. Thank you for making it a great experience.
The food tasted how I'd imagine a home cooked meal made with love would have tasted back in the 50's. I had the combo plate with fried chicken, pot roast and meat loaf, it all tasted great. It's a fun retro atmosphere and the food is good. Top it off with a root beer float!
I dined in just a couple of days ago and had so much fun! I came in with my family and we had the pleasure of having Jordan as our waiter. He was fantastic!! He was absolutely hilarious! He had us all cracking up! The food is very good. Me and my sister had the chicken dinner. They give you so much chicken .
Very interesting and pleasant restaurant! The staff is very friendly and they really capture the atmosphere of the era! The food was much better in quality and taste compared to park food! We received our meals quickly and they were absolutely delicious! I must emphasize the service again; they were very kind and helpful! I definitely recommend it. The prices are a bit high compared to the park, but the portions are huge! I can only recommend it!
Atmosphere was amazing! It really feels like you step back in time the second you walk through the double doors. We didn’t have the most comical, interactive waitress but it was still fun to watch the ones that were from afar. Food was absolutely delicious & homemade good. I am GF & ordered the fried chicken & was not disappointed at all. Would order again. Husband got the sampler dinner. Teenage daughter got the chicken pot pie & highly recommend getting the milkshakes but sharing (huge servings)
