Great 50's diner feel, I have a food allergy & they changed their gloves to make sure there was no contamination & I wouldn't be exposed to my food allergy. Thanks!!

Dwayne Kilbourne

Great spot to catch some character parades . Come here early, use your meal plan package, and then go outside to meet the characters!

Ate here. They had gluten-free food and it was out of the rain. 5/5 chili cheese fries .

Ayaz Hyder

The French fries were pretty good. When ordering food go to a line as far to the right as possible. You'll get food faster since kitchen is on that side.

David Krause

Nice and atmospheric. Don't expect gourmet, but the food is solid and you can't beat the AC .

Michael O.

If you dine in the outside area, your ears will probably bleed from the volume of the music ... Can't hear the person sitting across the table from me...
