My family & I had dinner there on Feb 4th.
We had the onion rings (very good with a yummy horseradish sauce), the sampler for the entree and the s'mores for dessert.
Everything was very tasty. Our waiter (Cousin Tim) was very nice. He just seemed like a genuinely nice guy. He played it pretty straight with us, which was just fine.
Can't wait to go back!

My friend and I had dinner here on January 21, 2013 on the standard dining plan. I had the "A Sampling of Mom's Favorite Recipes" (Crispy-fried Chicken, Fork Tender Pot Roast, and Traditional Meatloaf with all the fixings, and my friend had the "Mom's Old Fashioned Pot Roast". I loved the chicken and meatloaf, but the pot roast was just OK. On the other hand, my friend loved her pot roast. I had the S'more for desert (my friend was too full for hers), and it could have used a lot more chocolate topping. Overall, we did enjoy the meal. Our server was friendly, but she spent more time "playing" with the larger tables she did than with us, which actually was OK with us. We were tired and wanted a quieter meal. I would recommend this restaurant, but only if you are up to joking around with the CMs.
Pros:
good food, nice atmosphereCons:

DH, DS12 and I ate here in late November on the Dining Plan. We had a late (8:15 p.m.) ADR, which was technically after HS closed for the evening. As the CMs were shooing patrons out for the closing, we headed for Prime Time. We must have been asked 10 different times by 10 different CMs "where are you going??"! Having to explain our ADR over and over was a bit annoying, but we totally understood why they were asking!
When we arrived, we checked in and were shown to a "living room" to wait for our table to be called. After a wait of about 20 minutes, we were taken to a TV Table in a room with 3 other tables. Watching the old TV shows and commercials was a hoot! Our 12yr old son was fascinated.
We had the BEST server EVER. He was originally from the Middle East, and we ended up talking at great length, as my family is from Syria. He even signed my son's Autograph Book in Arabic! He teased my hubby and made my son take his dishes to the kitchen! He made the entire experience fantastic.
As for the food...well...that was a different matter altogether. DH had the sampler platter, which he said was very good. DS had a kids meal (his choice), which he barely touched, and I had the Fried Chicken. The chicken itself was just OK. Barely warm, but tasted OK. The whole plate looked like it had been made up at least an hour ago and had sat around waiting for someone to order it. The mashed potatoes were pasty and flavorless and the greens were just gross.
However, the drinks and desserts were WONDERFUL! DH and DS each had a milkshake as their drink and the Boston Cream Pie and Dad's Sundae were incredible.
Overall, we had a good experience and would return.

Party of 12. Everyone enjoyed their food. Took dessert with us. Had Uncle Dale again. Was very good with us even when the teenagers got grumpy. Would do again. The kids really enjoy this restaurant. Want to do this restaurant everytime we do Disney.

We ate here on 12/9/12 for lunch with an ADR. I got one of their specialty drinks with a glowing ice cube and a Mickey cup so my DD could play with it. Our family is all vegetarian so DH got the veggie pasta with neatballs and I got an off-menu veggie burger. The veggie burger would have been better on a roll and with cheese, but it was still tasty. It was fun watching the other tables and seeing who was in trouble for not eating their veggies or for being a tattle tale.
Pros:
People watching, took our ADR quickly, brought food out fastCons:

2nd time we've been here. Good food, good portions, good service. Maybe it was a little early, but it didn't seem like the servers were "playing their parts" like b4. Our server especially. Hubby got the meat loaf and loved it. I got the fried chicken which was pretty good. We both got the Boston Cream Parfait and it was pretty good. My son loved making his own sundae. Hubby also got a Mowie Wowie and it was great. We'll probably go back again.

We had lunch here on 1/8. We had a reservation and were seated immediatly. I had the entree sampler, and found all three dishes (fried chicken, pot roast, and meatloaf) tasty. The mashed potatoes were also excellent. My fiancee had the fried chicken which was flavorful and moist. For dessert I enjoyed the brownie sundae, and my fiance loved the boston cream parfait. The atmosphere was fun and our waitress was outstanding
Pros:
Good Food, Fun Atmosphere, Large PortionsCons:

Uncle Dale was great at interacting with our family. Had to set the table. Got "yelled" at for having our elbows on the table. The table next to us had homework! Food was ok, better last time we ate here. We had the pot pie, not enough chicken, meatloaf was spicy, pot roast was good.

Dined here for dinner the week before Christmas. Decor was excellent, service was excellent, but the food was a bit disappointing. Perhaps because of all the positive reviews we saw, I expected better. I had the fried chicken which I found to be a bit bland but okay. DW had the pork loin which she didn't care for. DD15 & DD19 (vegetarian) had the spaghetti and "meatballs" which they thought was okay but nothing special.
The desserts were overly sweet (Brownie sundae & Boston Cream parfait); DW liked the sugar free cheesecake.
Overall we enjoyed the experience, but be prepared for average DW food.
