Food was pretty good. Better than other sit-downs.

Cons:

I can't handle the staff.

We like the atmosphere as we grew up in the 50’s, but the food last time left something to be desired. Mashed potatoes were sticky with what seemed like powdered gravy.

Pros:

Atmosphere

Cons:

Food doesn’t really seem to be “homemade”, but mass produced

Maybe we caught it on a bad night but our experience wasn't that great. Our server wasn't really into playing the part, despite me being the good kid and setting the table before being asked and ordering politely. The decor was great and we saw at least one item on a shelf that we have at home. But yeah, if your server isn't into it, then it's just a boring dinner experience that isn't worth a repeat.

Pros:

Comfort food

Cons:

If your server isn't into the role, it's a dull experience

Was happy to snag an early dinner here on our trip on 4/1/22. The service was fantastic! Had a great time with Aunt Whitney. Antics were on point, and food was decent. Food was a bit industrialized, but it tasted great. Don't recommend the sampler, because you get less quantity for more money. Fried chicken came with 4 good size pieces. Mashed potatoes and gravy and the vegetable were really good. Meatloaf tasted great, but felt very mass produced.

Pros:

Fantastic staff! Food tasted great! Cast Members very accommodating of dietary needs.

Cons:

Sampler should probably be $25 instead of $27 because you're getting less than a 1/3 of each sampled entrée. Food was a bit industrial.

We got a very late reservation, right at park closing. However, that didn't affect our service one bit. Our server was hilarious. They aren't up to their regular antics, but we did tell him that we just wanted to watch and he said - No worries- I got you guys! Since he didn't have as many tables, he stopped by and we talked and laughed about our pets. I had the fried cheese and I thoroughly enjoyed it. We shared the combo and got a side of mac and cheese. Our server asked if there was something up on the internet because almost every two top table he had all day got the combo and a side of mac and cheese (which isn't even on the menu). The chicken was good, my husband loved the mac and cheese so much, I didn't get to taste it. It wasn't fancy like Le Cellier but got the job done. I also thought the pot roast was outstanding. At the end of our meal he automatically brought me a to-go Not So Diet, Diet Cherry coke and said he felt bad because I didn't ask him for refills

Pros:

Food is basic but tasty. Friendly servers, even when they aren't performing. Good solid choice

Cons:

Expensive for what you get (it is WDW ) Not a lot of options. Seems like it would be tough for a person with dietary issues

We came here not expecting much for food, just a good homecooked meal, but thought the experienced looked like fun! Not only was our server so much fun and the decor was hilarious, but we both left saying we'd come back every time. We got the pb&j milkshake (lives up to the hype) and the sampler. We both agreed we have never had better mashed potatoes and pot roast in our lives. SO GOOD!

Pros:

mashed potatoes and pot roast!!

Cons:

none

We went here after a long day in Hollywood Studios. Our waiter was great, very sassy. He had my niece set the table and chastised those that could not finish their adult beverages. He forgot my coke and when I pointed it out to him he brought me 4 cokes! The food was outstanding. We all ordered the fried chicken and it is a HUGE serving, seriously...like 5 or 6 pieces of chicken plus two sides, easily shareable. The fried chicken is so delicious. We enjoyed the atmosphere as well, feels like a small place with the seating and the tvs. Will definitely go back.

Pros:

Excellent food and a good time interacting with the wait staff. Cool atmosphere as well.

Cons:

If you aren't into sassy waiters or getting picked on this might not be for you. It is definitely a little pricey.

The atmosphere is really the story here. A really cool location that does feel like you're in an older relative's house. Our server was very fun, but because we were there in 2021, we didn't get the full experience, which is a bummer. I'm personally not a fan of the menu ... and all the food was fine, but unmemorable. Glad we did it, but I don't need to go again.

Pros:

A very unique experience you won't find anywhere else - worth doing once.

Cons:

Food is fairly mediocre and boring

It was fine. My husband and I shared a meal of fried chicken, meat loaf, pot roast, potatoes, and green beans. Nothing tasted that amazing, it was good, but not exciting. The atmosphere was comfortable and it was so nice to sit in the air conditioning. The Diet Coke was delicious. My dad and my sons are picky eaters and they really enjoyed the simplicity of it. In a word, it was just, meh...

Pros:

Easy to find location, reliable choices for picky eaters. Very cute atmosphere!

Cons:

The food is pretty pricey for something that is easily made at home.

As good as the food was, and it was really good, it was overshadowed by our hilarious waitress who was half my age and scolding me like a school teacher. While we were waiting for our food, she told us to write 20 Disney movie titles with a one word name on a napkin. When she came back to see how many movies we came up with, she lost it when she saw "Shrek" on the list.

Pros:

Great food, TERRIFIC service, a lot of laughs

Cons:

Being extremely picky because I really can't think of a con, if they could improve anything maybe add dividers so the I don't see the other diners and it feels more like you're in a kitchen.
