7. Manners – Etiquette is a must when dining at 50’s Prime Time Café. No elbows on the table, napkins in your lap are a couple manners guests are expected to uphold, or they may get a stern talking to. The waitstaff is an entertaining part of dining here. If you like to be left alone while you eat, this may not be for you.
8. TV Dinner – Guests are permitted to watch TV while they dine, for an old fashioned TV dinner. On the Old box TV’s are black and white clips of popular 1955 prime time shows.
9. Advance Dining Reservations – 50’s Prime Time Café accepts Advanced Dining Reservations, and they are highly recommended. Guests can make reservations starting at 180 days prior to stay.
10. Tune- In Lounge – Can’t get a reservation? My advise is to keep checking. Cancellations will occur and with the luck of timing and being persistent, one will most likely come up. An alternative is to dine in the Tune-In Lounge. This retro themed full service bar serves the full 50’s Prime Time Café menu. Seating is on a first come, first served basis.

I loved the food, service the whole experience. My youngest daughter is Developmentally delayed and enjoyed the whole thing. She especially liked when the wait stahh “yelled” at fellow patrons at another table. They had their “toys” phone’s out and she scolded them. “Put your toys away.” Hubby loved that we had to set the table ourselves. Great time and food.
