The food here was wonderful. I had the salmon sandwich and it was so delicious and different. It was served with watermelon, which I liked. I had an ice cream sundae for dessert and it was fantastic. The theming is very cute as well. The only reason I couldn't give it a "10" is because of our experience with those working there. Starting with the host who never once smiled at us. Our waitress was fine but she also rarely smiled and was less than enthused. I don't think any of that would have bothered me much had it not been that about 6-8 cast members kept congregating around the bar area and whispering and giggling. It's a very small restaurant so it made us feel a bit uncomfortable. Like they were waiting for us (and they rest of the customers) to leave so they could have their own party. May be important to note that our reservation was at 5:00 PM in the afternoon so nowhere near closing time. In short, the food was great but we couldn't get out of there fast enough.
Pros:
Delicious food and ice cream, fun themingCons:

Had an ADR for Wednesday, September 10 at 4:10. Also had a reservation to come back for dessert same day at 9:10, so instead of ordering sundaes to go with our meals, instead, we "combined" dessert and beverage and each got a milkshake. They were delicious as were our burgers and fries. We were able to substitute bacon for the ham on two burgers. DH had a salmon sandwich which he said was good and youngest daughter had grilled cheese and tomato bisque which she enjoyed. Overall, no complaints! We were not rushed, were able to enjoy our dinner and had fun watching some tables struggle to finish the kitchen sink!
Pros:
Very good food, excellent serviceCons:

We had lunch here and the food and dessert was excellent. The staff and service awesome. BUT, this place is small and jammed pack, and if you had no reservations you would not eat that day. The desserts delicious and fun!!!

Excellent food as always. Would have tasted much better if we did not wait 45 minutes for our reservation. The problem is that this restaurant should never have started taking reservations. They have 3 large tables, so if you are a larger party, you are in trouble. We waited for 2 large parties to finish a kitchen sink. The staff seemed to be surprised that 2 large parties ordered the kitchen sink?? Both were celebrating birthdays and had been given balloons by the restaurant, so they seemed to be aware that the parties were celebrating. We had just gotten in after a long day of travelling and were starving! We had another reservation for Memorial Day and cancelled it.

WE had an ADR for 2 on May 17th at 7:40 PM and arrived early and was told they were running behind and would be in around about 10 minutes after our ADR. We were seated around the time of our ADR.
We share meals in an attempt to not gain 6-10 pounds after vacation. The meals are usually very large at Disney. We split the Beaches Angus Beef Burger for $15.49, which also includes a thick slice of ham. They brought us 2 plates with the burger split in half and split the French fries. We liked the burger at the Big River Grille & Brewing Works better. We also shared a 2 scoop (1 vanilla and 1 chocolate) sundae with hot fudge and peanut butter. This was fantastic and could have used some more peanut butter as there was plenty of hot budge at the bottom. We like the atmosphere of the old fashioned soda shop. We will be back for ice cream. No DVC discount.

We ate here for a change in normal restaurant pace! Plus we were staying at Beach Club.
I have gotten ice cream here in the past and it was great! Having a reservation here to eat dinner was not as enjoyable. The food was good and loved the "old ice cream shop" feel was fun, but wow did I feel cramped! There was only 3 of us, 2 adults 1 child, and I felt like a sardine. It would be a more fun enjoyable experience if it was a bit bigger or had private patio seating!
I will continue to go for ice cream but will pass on dinner.

Neat atmosphereCons:

Kids love sharing the Kitchen Sink. Ice cream is delicious here. Service is also very good. Very small space for sitting but ice cream is worth it.
Pros:
Kids love it.Cons:

My party of four made an ADR for 1/7 at 8pm. We arrived right on time and had a few minutes wait. It was very cold that night, but they gave us a pager and we were able to sit inside by Ariel's where it was warm.
Herlina was our server, and I've had her before. My friend and I each got the grilled cheese and tomato bisque, and we shared with my mom. My brother just wanted a side salad. He asked for honey mustard dressing, but they didn't have it, so he settled for ranch. He enjoyed the salad. We all loved the grilled cheese and soup.
We shared the No Way Jose. Herlina brought four little bowls for us to scoop out our own portions. Too much chocolate sauce and not enough peanut butter, according to my mom.
I knew we wouldn't get a cast member discount, but my friend said he'd gotten one there before. He briefly argued with Herlina about it, but it wasn't a big deal. The total was still just under $50 with tip, which we thought was reasonable. We will definitely be back!
Pros:
ADRs! Great food and ice creamCons:

We were here once for dinner and once for ice cream only. Both times were very good. I like this place, only wish it were a bit bigger!
