Photographer's view of 50's Prime Time Diner

[GoofyontheHiSeas]

I am an amateur photographer that likes to eat. So I will be posting some of the restaurants that we visited. Me, DW, DD14, DD8. On this night we ate with a group of 20+ friends and we all had so much fun that I did not get all of there opinions of there food choices, therefore the pictures will have to speak for themselves. PT Diner like Sci-Fi Dine-In was more for the novel experience and fun than for the food. Menu offerings were standard American fare. I had an unpleasant outcome this night which I will describe later.

Walking into this restaurant brought back so many memories of what our kitchen/house looked like when I was growing up. Several of us in the group recognized knick-knacks from around the waiting area. Several of our group had eaten here before, but for my family it was a first visit. My DD14 was scared to death that she would be harassed by the waitress or sent to the corner. He did not have to worry as she was at the kids table and the adult table was the one that got in trouble. The group of adults pretty much egged on our waitress to a point to get in trouble that night. One of our diners was forced fed their vegetables and another sent to the wall for hitting (don't ask). We we given the task of setting our own table and then assigned a project to list 16 Disney movies with one name in the title. We did but it took all of us to answer it. We all had a great time and made many memories. Now on to the food.

Mom's Old Fashioned Pot Roast - Slow cooked 'til fork tender, served with mashed potatoes, carrots, celery and onions
This is what I ordered. The first one I got was about 80% fat. I understand Pot Roast has some fat but not the whole thing. I sent it back and got a second one. This one still had some fat but was much better.

Overall we had a great time and the food was OK. The down side of the night is that I contracted food poisoning from either here or Sci-Fi Din-In this day. Was unpleasant but did not ruin our trip.

We had Sabrina. She was wonderful in her role. She was obnoxious but not too much.

I saw that you had the Spinach and Artichoke Dip at the Sci Fi...I had this a few years back and got quite ill from it! :sick: while I would definitely eat at that restaurant again, I'll definitely be avoiding the dip!

Loving your reviews by the way...beautiful photos of the food! :thumbsup2
