Remember the shows "Happy Days", "Leave It To Beaver", "Ozzie and Harriet", "My Three Sons", etc.?

50's Prime Time Cafe takes you back to that era and memories.

The restaurant is located in Disney World's Hollywood Studios Theme Park, and from the moment you walk in, you're taken back to the 'good old days'. Equipped with old furniture in the lobby, old television sets with the 1950 era shows playing on them, so you can watch the good ol' shows in black & white while you wait to be taken to your table.

Once you get to the dining area, you'll find it the 50's type kitchen furniture.

The servers make you 'mind your manners' and chastise you if they catch you doing things like putting your elbows on the table... It's great! I mean absolutely great!

They serve the typical meals you would normally have back in that day, including meatloaf, mashed potatoes, gravy and greenbeans, which is what I had, and although it wasn't as good as mom's (come on, no ones is - right?!), it was still pretty darn good!

My granddaughter, Fernan, was too young to appreciate the whole idea, but said she still had a really nice time there. (They made her help set our table.)

Actually, none of us were old enough to really remember those times, including Cindy and me. I was born in 1958, so I was actually starting a different generation, but man how I loved those shows.

That lovely experience was shared by my daughter and granddaughter, Luvenia and Fernan respectively, Cindy and myself.

Cindy and I both give 50's Prime Time Cafe a 4-star rating, and definitely want to visit again, especially when taking others with us.
