50s Cafe..good choice or will I get lectured? LOL

[jacksonsmom]

Ok, I just checked out the menu for the 50s Prime Time Cafe. I am a vegetarian & there was nothing on there I could really eat except for onion rings or french fries (and of course the desserts)

First off, is there any way I could talk to the cook beforehand & have them make something vegetarian? I know the theme is the 50s & most food back then was meat & potatoes. But I would even be happy with some good old mac & cheese!

I checked out the kids' menu, since my son is also a vegetarian & he has 3 choices so I am not worried about him.

Also if I decided just to have some onion rings or french fries & then a nice yummy dessert would I get a lecture for not having a nice wholesome meal???

WDW is very accomodating when it comes to "special diets". Before you go to the restaurant, call and see what they can do for you. I'd definately give it a shot.

And as for the lecture you never know!!! I was put in the corner once for having my elbows on the table!! Good thing I took it all in stride.

Call a few days ahead and again on the AM that you'll be eating there. I gather that sicne you mentioned mac and cheese, that dairy and eggs are ok. on the lunch menu that list a vegetarian option with the shrimp pasta. Just to be safe call ahead and make sure it doens't contain meat stock. They also list vegetable stuffed peppers that contain soy cheese

PTC lunch menu

Hi..

Was there not any "big salads" on the menu?

>>^..^<<

Thanks for your replies.

The shrimp pasta would not be a good choice since I don't eat seafood. (even if I did, I never liked shrimp to begin with! LOL)

As far as big salads I didn't see any, maybe I skimmed through them too fast though.

I wonder if I call ahead if they could have a veggie burger there for me? I know other places in WDW has them. I wonder if that is possible?

So should I call the morning of our PS's or a few days before. Our PS is for June 17th & we arrive on the 14th. Maybe should I call on the 15th or 16th??

Who do I call? 50s Cafe itself? Do I asked to talk to the cook?

Can you tell I never done this before! LOL

I didn't mean that the shrimp is vegetarian. What I meant was that on the menu they list that a veg option of the dish is avaliable. The only salad was s shrimp salad, which of course I'm sure you could get without shrimp, but you porbably get tired of having to settle for a salad. I'm sure they coudl get a veggie burger for you, but unless you really want one, or if you're "picky" . I'd just call them directly (should be able to get connected from your room or any WDW pay phone,connect to dinning and see if they can conect you directly) and let the chef create a dish based on your converstation.

I am sorry. I understood what you meant after I sent my message. Silly Me!

I probably will just call the chef & see what they can fix up for me. I am not too picky but am somewhat picky. LOL!

Thanks again for the help

No problem. I know that many have the misconception that vegitarian eat fish, so I understand the mix up. I thought the stuffed peppers sounded good, but I like stuffed pepper.

Peppers are not my favorite food, like them in dishes but not as a "meal"
So the stuffed peppers don't sound that appealing to me.

I am sure Mom the Cook can whip me up something.
I will give her a call before my PS.


Thank you again for your help

Call ahead, and see what they can do for you!! I would not want you to miss the 50's Cafe!! We went last year and had fun!! They were great with my 2 DD's. "Mom" gave my DH math problems to work on, since she found out he was a math teacher! LOL!
