Literally one of my favorite restaurants on all of Disney property. Not a single bad thing of the menu. The peanut butter and jelly milkshake and pork chops have a special place in my heart, though :)

Edwulf

Good confort food from 50s, if you do not know what to pick go for the sample plate that has all of everything. Fried chicken is the best, make reservations or be prepared for a long wait

Steve LeVine

The setting, the service and food recreate a 50's experience. Use your phone at the table and chided for playing with your toys . Get the Boston Creme Parfait for dessert and thank me later.

Cody Hard

Experience is great. Girlfriend got fish of the day (salmon ), I got chicken pot pie . Both were great. Milkshake and apple cobbler were incredible at the end.

Rico Garcia

Probably the best sit down dinner in all of Hollywood Studios. The whole atmosphere brings a homie 50's feel. Best bartender is David and the waitress to have is Dixie or " Mama "

Jessica B

Food is excellent. Get the sampler platter . My fave is pot roast & chicken . Service is outstanding and ambiance is so cool. Made me feel like I was back in my Aunts home for Sunday dinners . A must try

Epicurious

The decor is playfully faux '50s, and the menu follows suit, mixing Happy Days–era favorites like meatloaf with trendier dishes such as poached salmon with mushroom ragout, bacon , and Swiss chard . Read more

Go get yourself a PB&J Milkshake . I know, I know... it sounds odd but is amazingly and surprisingly yummy! A very unique treat. Even if you don't eat a meal here, you can grab one from the bar .

Kassandra

Sends you back to the 50's! The food is all American comfort food , the fried chicken is amazing, so is the chicken pot pie ! The servers will yell at you to get your elbows off the table too

Kayla Harbin

This is such a fun place to eat! My family always tries to eat here every year we go to Disney. The meatloaf is my favorite and the brownie Sunday is really, really good 😊

Graham Castellano

You must appreciate the crudeness of the service to really enjoy this place. And yes, I ate all of my vegetables . Don't forget to get yourself a peanut butter and jelly shake !

Fun restaurant where the waiters come with sass! Our server was really funny and nice. Fried chicken was really good and very moist

Laur Lo Ski

DON'T PUT YOUR ELBOWS ON THE TABLE! Seriously they'll "yell" at you. The fried chicken was very good and so were the onion rings . Great place to make a reservation at for lunch in the park .

Michael C

Fantastic buffalo shrimp blue plate special. Excellent fried chicken with all the fixins. Shakes , cakes and ice cream . It's nice seeing people reminded of basic etiquette.

Holly Norris

The pot roast and fried chicken are da bomb! Our waitress , Sabrina, was hilarious. We always make it a point to go to guest services and give compliments to great cast members, and she def. got one!

Orlando Perez

Try the fried chicken or mom's favorite recipes. Great atmosphere....not as great as Si-fi but I enjoy the cocktails here.

Justin Zhang

Came here for a quick lunch and the food turned out better than most of the table service restaurants we had in the past few days. Fried chicken is tender and juicy.

John-Paul Murillo

The servers are the beat part to this dining experience. We had John and he was fantastic. Beat we've had in the several years we've visited.

Jerry Burkett

An old time 50s dining experience inside your grandmother's (or great-grandmother's) old kitchen. Don't put your elbows on the table and do not play with your cell phone (walkie talkie) while you eat.

Steph Cappozzo

Love love love LOVE this place!!!!!! Can I say how much I love the theme here??? I just want to come back over and over again!

Chrissy West

Eric is the best waiter ever! Hilarious and on the ball. Food is spectacular and the drinks are yummy! I highly recommend this place! The decor is charming.

I think this place has definitely toned it down, but our waiter (the alcoholic uncle) was still a laugh. The food's really good and filling too. Tread lightly on a hot day!

Liz

Really must try one of the milkshakes . We love PB&J and Red Velvet Cake milkshakes .

Andrés M. Melo Quintana

This place is just awesome, the hosts are the funniest people ever, you better eat your vegetables , and keep your elbows off from the table.. uhh and the old style Chicken is just wonderful..

Ian

Make sure you set the table and keep your elbows off the table. One of the few places where at the resort where cast can give you a hard time.

Kristen Schmidt

This is definitely a must do! The service was fast and friendly , just keep your elbows off the table and stay off your PHONES! Come hungry though because the portions are large.

Kara

Amazing food! Pot Roast was delicious! You HAVE to try the s'mores desert ! It is so amazing! Best s'more I ever had!

Kaitlin Marie

Went to 50's, got straws put in my space buns . 10/10 would get my hair done there again.

Matthew Miguel

Ask for a TV table for your own tv . Service is great and food even better! Fried chicken was yummy! If you want a little of everything order mom's sampler!

Carla Warren

I presume that meatloaf anywhere else is really bad if this is good. reminded me of school dinners in England. the crab cake was nice enough but as all meals in Disney luke warm at best

Clark Winslett

Like all Disney restaurants , they were great with allergies. I had the fried chicken and it was great.

Tara Edwards

Lydia is a great cousin! She truly makes you feel like family! The fried cheese is AMAZING! Loved the pot roast ! Oh yeah, and get a chocolate malt !

Ashley P.

Neat dining experience, all 50's decor. Uncle Tim was a funny server. A must at Hollywood Studios

Bob Adams

Aunt Liz's Golden Fried Chicken is the very best. We are planning a trip for May and I can hardly wait. Love the atmosphere.

Jennifer Fehr

They need to be@more conscience of reservation times. Chaotic and unlike other Disney restaurants . Atmosphere is fun, good food, funny servers.

Deb Cooper

For dinner the mom's meatloaf and pot roast is awesome. The cherry coke is made with real syrup . The onion rings n wedge salad rocks n for dessert u nned to have the peanut butter shake n smores !!!!!

Ryan Hill

Daddy's Pork chop is a go to stable but just remember keep them elbows off the table and clean that plate!!

david irons

Great food and atmosphere. Can't go wrong with any dish. On the fence, go with the sampler.

Donna Dubhchonna

I've found couples here (as in a single mom with daughter) can be either star treated or treated as almost invisible. Food is always good tho and they have REAL brewed tea for us Southern Girls!

Joanna Dueweke

So much fun! Fried Chicken , Pot Roast and Pot Pie were the favorites. Try the Peanut Butter & Jelly Shake , yum!

Leanne Alyssa

Best restaurant ever! Definitely make reservations in advance. The staff are so fun!

Brennan Crowe

Fried Chicken is amazing! This is a definite must get when you go to Hollywood Studios.

Dustin

Had a really good chocolate malted shake , and fried chicken . No wonder this generation has heart problems.

Jake Smith

The Pot Roast is amazing. My mouth is literally watering just thinking about it. Grab it with an Electric Lemonade (light up ice cubes!)

Russell Caluri

Live this place . Everything on menu is good and awesome atmosphere.

Priscilla R.

Such a fun place to eat! Our server was so funny and snarky! Definitely a must do!!

Kit S

The Blue Plate was awesome! Grilled shrimp over grits . Try it if they have it. P: Yum!!!

Chandra Smith

If you like turkey meat loaf , ask to substitute for turkey on your order. Turkey is on the kid's menu but not the adults. Its yummy.
