I went to the Prime Time 50's Diner at MGM on 3-15-06. Here is my review.
The atmosphere is incredible. I'm only 26 but grew up in an older home with many 50's features left over. Everything down to the handles on the kitchen droors reminded me of the home I grew up in. The colors (lots of yellows), the oversized, wooden fork and spoon hanging on the wall was so reminding of growing up.
The food is good as well. The meat loaf is good but I have to tell you that the pot roast was incredible! However, the sizes vs. price of the bowls of noodle soup is disappointing.
The atmosphere again is so nice. 50's televisions all around the place showing clips of old 50's footage, including the grand opening of DL with video of Walt. Every room of the restaraunt is set up like a kitchen (eating in the kitchen must have been popular).
The lobby is like a 50's living room with comfortable couches and Tv's to watch , of course, showing 50's shows.
The service is very good. You will be talked to as if in the 50's. I was told to stop drinking so much water before dinner, so as not to fill up on water. I was also told to get my elbows off of the table. When my plate was cleaned, it was held up to show an example of how everyone's plate should be at the end of their dinner.
The only thing I had a problem with (and this is not the restaraunts fault) was that a family was there with some VERY loud and obnoxious children. I understand that everyone is on vacation and children are excited but, parents should have control over their children. When I grew up, I was taught not to speak when adults are talking and that you have an "inside voice" and an "outside voice" and when I was told to use one of the other, I did it. If I didn't, I knew what was coming later.
With that said, the children were so loud nobody in our room could even talk. Even the waitress could not be heard by her table when discussin the menu. She finally turned around and told the children (not their parents) directly to please quiet down. They not only didn't, they laughed at her loudly while her parents, embarassed, did NOTHING.
About 20 minutes later, the table next to us finally complained and said they could not deal with it anymore (I was even getting a headache), and the waitress, figuring the parents would not do anything, embarassed not only the parents but the children this time. She told them their voice tone was unacceptable and that other people in the room were tired of hearing them. The family then got up to finally leave (as their meal was already over) and everyone in the room applauded as they walked out.
Anyways, it's a nice place, with a nice atmosphere, when parents are controlling their children.
