This is such a fun place! My family always loves coming here for a good meal and a laugh. I love the 1950's theming. Ask to sit at one of the tables with the television set, it makes the experience much more enjoyable, I only wish they had more of those. The servers make this experience so much fun - if you aren't practicing 1950's table etiquette, they will call you out and it is hilarious! If you don't have a sense or humor, this place isn't for you. As for the food, every dessert we had was delicious and entrees were hit or miss. Personally, I loved the pot roast, by far my favorite entree on the menu. The fried chicken is good, by no means the best I ever had, but it is good. I found the meatloaf to be inedible.

We ate here for an early dinner on 10/11/21. The theming is great and our waitress played into it which we loved. My husband got the pot roast. He said it was just ok, nothing he would order again but nothing he would send back either. I got the fried chicken which was a huge portion but did not compare to Homecomin. My son got the strawberry milkshake which we all shared and enjoyed and the chicken tenders which were just average. You definitely come here for the experience and theming and not so much the food
Pros:
took us on time, blasting AC, fun themingCons:

Ate here for my recent trip in September, but have been here many times in the past on family trips. The cast member outside managed to get us in slightly prior to our reservation time slot which was awesome. I ordered the meatloaf, and sadly found it kind of boring in the flavor department. The green beans were really good though, and I don't even like green beans usually. The wait staff were fantastic as expected and made the experience a lot of fun, but I think, when/if there's a next time, I will try something else.
Pros:
Fun themeing and wonderful wait staff. Decent food for not unreasonable prices.Cons:

My absolute FAVORITE place to eat in Hollywood Studios!! Consistent food, fast service, unique theming, and continuous hijinks from the wait staff. This place can't be beat!
Pros:
Some options for healthy eaters, unique theming, consistencyCons:

I love the atmosphere in here! The first time I ate here, the food was pretty good but nothing special. The second time, my food tasted like a bucket of salt :/ and one of my friends tried it and agreed. The others we were with also said that their food tasted too salty. My server the second time also didn't really understand my dietary restriction at first (she eventually got it) and she made me feel uncomfortable trying to explain myself a couple of times instead of just getting a chef. It was still a fun experience overall and bonus points for having thick plant-based milkshakes and the plant-based apple crisp! I would still recommend trying this place for yourself!

We ate here on our honeymoon in September of 2019. My first warning is unless you eat HUGE meals at home every day, either split a meal or set this as your ONLY meal of the day. The portions are elephantine! The food is standard comfort food but done really well. The drinks are really good. We had the Dad's electric blue lemonade which was very refreshing, not terribly sweet with a nice sour tartness from the lemon. This restaurant is really where you go for the 50's atmosphere! The waiter we had (Cousin Eddy) was dismayed that he had not been invited to the wedding. He was really good at reading off our energy and played with us just the right amount without going super over the top.
Pros:
Food is good, waiters will meet you on your level, theming is awesomeCons:

Great 50’s atmosphere, fantastic food and beverages. The peanut butter and jelly milkshake is amazing!! The fried chicken is my absolute favorite. Interactive waiters/waitresses and a very fun place to dine. Just reserve ahead of time, walk ups are difficult to get at this place.
Pros:
Good food, great atmosphere and fun staff.Cons:

We had lunch at Prime Time on May 5, 2021. Our family has eaten at Prime Time many times and although the restaurant was still recognizing covid protocols, the service remained top notch and our "comfort" food was among the best at Disney (especially the pot roast and fried chicken -- both excellent). The 50's in-home theme does not get old. A family favorite.
Pros:
immersive 50's theme and comfort foodCons:

Always love eating here. The food is delicious and the desserts are mmm and if you like milk shakes they are incredible. The server may not always be in "character" the way some like. Too me that is second to the atmosphere and good food. Possibly the best meat loaf ever. Sorry mom. Some guest of 2 can be put in an off area that isnt the Kitchen of old as the same with some larger groups but again that is secondary to the good food and drinks
