Good food in a fun setting. The fried chicken and the meatloaf are consistently tasty.
Pros:
Home cooking style food which will appeal to many.Cons:
Some might not be comfortable with the cast member interactions (teasing and good manners reminders from an "aunt" or "cousin.")Reviewed by TMJG29 Review Date: 01/11/2021

The atmosphere in this restaurant is so much fun. Our waiter, who referred to himself as Uncle Gary, was a lot of fun and treated us like family. The food itself is pretty average but the atmosphere and experience is the real draw of eating here.
Pros:
Air conditioning Family friendly Nostalgic Budget friendly (1 credit table service for dining plan) FunCons:

We loved 50s prime time. emphasis on \\\"love-ed\\\". I am not one to write a negative review, however, we had gone as a party of three to 50s prime time in July of 2020-yes, of course, I need to take covid into consideration. However, the first thing that had happened to us was we were sat in a corner, away from the 50s setting..hmm, weird. Alrighty moving on! Our waitress was at all adhering to the typical 50s prime time environment that we all know and love, and noticeably, neither were any of the other staff members. Service was slow, yet not busy at all. We used to LOVE getting yelled at and treated like a family member. But this time, service was slow, acing was far below normal and the food was just...eh. We did split a PB&J shake as a table though! We were celebrating a birthday, and two of the three members of our party had never been here before. Overall, I was sad with the experience we had and hope that maybe, 50\\'s prime time takes this into consideration.
Pros:
The reservation was on time! That PB&J shake was delish! Family Style food was humbleCons:
no acting whatsoever cold food none of the parties had a waiter or waitress like they used to have- we want that 50s prime time feel BACK! 🙂Reviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 12/17/2020

We loved this restaurant. The theming is so great and unique. The food is rock solid and very american. Not a huge menu but what they have is lovely. Each experience is unique and fun every time.

50s Prime Time Cafe is so fun!!! I would recommend this restaurant to any family who loves fun places! It is exactly like it came out of the 1950s, and the ladies who work there act like real moms in that area! One of them even stuck green beans in a family member's mouth saying \"Eat your vegetables! Just one more bight!\" Some tables have a TV with a 50s show on! Overall, fun and awesome diner!

We dined here for lunch on Nov. 22, 2020. We had an 11:30 a.m. reservation but checked in early and were seated pretty promptly. Our waiter was attentive and asked if we had dined there before. He reviewed the "rules". He wasn't overly playful which we don't mind. We come because we like the atmosphere and food. We started off with the onion rings and they were delicious! Piping hot, crispy and flavorful. My son and I each ordered the fried chicken. He cleaned his plate. I did not. 🙁 My daughter wasn't very hungry so just ordered the wedge salad for her meal. She ate it all so both kids got Clean Plate Club stickers. We did have to ask for them.
Pros:
Crisp, hot and savory fried chicken and onion ringsCons:
Corn was more mushy than crisp.Reviewed by tga1828 Review Date: 11/17/2020

Stopped in with a party of 8 with no reservation. Hostess told us it would be a 30 minute wait and we ended up getting seated in 5 minutes. Food and drinks were excellent. Throughout our table we got items like the pot roast, fried chicken, and the meatloaf. Everyone enjoyed the entrees. Drinks were creative and tasty.
Pros:
Ambience and décor. Prices were reasonable for a sit down restaurant. Enjoyed being a part of the \"family\".Cons:

We try to dine here every time we visit. This last time (Dec 2019) we were disappointed. Food was just 'so, so' and service was not good! We took a couple new to Disney and we were embarrassed to have gone on about how good it was. It wasn't worth the long wait, even though we had a reservation.
