Has anyone else not had to wait for a table at Beaches & Cream?

This past Sunday around 8:30 PM my family and I went to Beaches & Cream and to my surprise we got seated right away, I was thinking there would be a wait because our 1st time going there this past August we waited about 25 minutes and a few days before early in our trip this month we were told it was a 40 minute wait. So has anyone else ever been there and been lucky to be seated right away?
 
We have never waited. We always go right at 11 on Thanksgiving day, we have a Kitchen Sink for our lunch. I am sure it is cause of the day and time but we have been the only people in there before. Last month there was one other family and one more came right when we were finishing up.
 
Sometimes swe wait and sometimes sit right away.

It depends on what day/time and how many others are there at same time.

We only eat there when staying at the Epcot resorts - not worth a special trip there - and don't wait more than 15 min, if that, as we are right there and can get in for lunch before hoards appear from Epcot, etc.
 
We were there in January - on a weekday, around 2:30 in the afternoon. There was only one other table of people there. I wasn't surprised by that though, given the time/day we were there. And it was also January so the pool is not quite as heavily trafficked then either.
 

We've been several times and have been seated right away. I think we've only had to wait twice.
 
This past Oct. got there around 7:30 for dinner and did not have to wait, unless we wanted a table. They could seat us right away at the bar, which we did and it was fun watching them make all those desserts!
 
Since we stay at BCv or YC/BC pretty much every trip we have had some waits and sometimes seated right away.The longest wait we saw was over an hour ( we didn't wait).Most times we go at off times and are seated within 10 mins or less
 
When it's just the 2 of us, we seldom wait as we are willing to eat at the counter. Whenever we are a party of more than 4 then it's always a long wait no matter when we go. When we go in January, we can generally get in right away. Last year during our January trip we ate there 3 times and often was 1 of 2 tables occupied. I guess it was just too cold for ice cream...dunno.
 
We have tried to eat here 4 times:

First time there was a 10 minute wait.

Second time we couldn't get in at all because it was later at night and there were already people waiting.

Third time we were the family of the day and were first in the restaurant

Fourth time we sat on the bar stools with no wait.
 
we've been there twice... both times for lunch... neither time required waiting longer than it took to put the appropriate number of chairs at the table...
 
We went around noon on a Sunday and walked right in. By 12:30 there was a wait so we were lucky.
 
We have always had to wait, except for the one time we went just for dessert and sat at the counter. We have been three other times for lunch or dinner and wait, but the wait times were never unreasonable, averaging 10-15 minutes. We have always eaten around typical lunch/dinner times and we tend to go to WDW during non-peak times.
 
We've probably been there 7 or 8 times and were seated immediately about half of them and only once had a significant wait.
 
We've pretty much walked right in and sat every visit we've made. Possibly because we usually go at non-traditional meal times?
 
Beginning of October, during F & W, we were seated right away at the counter...I think it was around 1:00.
