Brian's Review
Themed like a 1950's Mom's kitchen, this restaurant serves mostly "home cooked
meals." Cow-shaped salt and pepper shakers, watermelon napkin holders and the like
rest on every Formica topped table in the place.
The servers are all "cast" as your cousin,
sister, aunt, mom, brother...and are supposed to play up the family meal
atmosphere. Sometimes folks are given applause for joining the
"clean plate club." Others are given the "airplane
treatment" when they don't eat all of their vegetables.
Sometimes the
servers, who are in the role of "Sis", "brother", "Mom",
and so on lay things on a bit too thick, but sometimes they strike the
perfect balance of fun without being obnoxious.
Keep in mind that not all of the servers at the 50's Prime
Time Cafe' play it up very well. If you read through the reviews
below, you'll see that there is a wide range of experiences as far as the
atmosphere provided by the server is concerned.
This is indeed an
interesting place, but fun due to the atmosphere
much more than the food...and only if you get a server that strikes that
delicate balance of fun without being obnoxious.

The shakes and malts and pot roast
are excellent! (try the peanut butter & jelly
one). I'd also suggest you avoid the meatloaf. It's
less than awe-inspiring. |

Possibly Manic (Depending on your Server) |

Dinosaur Gertie's Ice Cream of Extinction
Location
The big green dinosaur on the side of Echo Lake. You can't miss
it!
Menu
Hollywood
& Vine
Location
At the corner of Hollywood and Vine. Not surprisingly!
Menu
Comments
Significantly more upscale than the fast food places, but not as
pretentious as the Hollywood Brown Derby, this eatery is located next to 50's
Prime Time Cafe on Vine. Chicken, ribs, pasta, and seafood are available.
Hollywood & Vine is a character
meal restaurant! You'll find the "Fab Five"
characters here for breakfast and lunch (NOT for dinner, though). priority seating
is strongly recommended.
