If you want to eat inside you need an ADR. If you can use the outside ordering, then you can walk up.
I don't believe the Kitchen Sink is available outside.
It is fun, but small inside.
There's maybe 8-10 tables in the whole place, and the Kitchen Sink has gotten quite popular in recent years so I'm not that surprised by it. I also think those staying at the Beach Club book it - it does make a good lunch break during a day at Stormalong Bay.
We love beaches and cream. We went there once and have it booked for our trip this month since we are staying at the bc. If we weren’t staying at bc we probably wouldn’t be going back but I love diner food and we are going after swimming.
Super curious about why it amazes you? It's really small, "so so" is subjective, and many go for nostalgia or non-hamburger items (the ice cream sundaes are really popular and where they get most of their revenue here). Plus, it's one of the least expensive TS restaurants.
Wait until you get on property-one may open up. Last year we had an ADR, but just before our trip, a family illness meant I'd be there solo for the first few days, including the time of our ADR, so I had to cancel. When I'd reserved, that was the only availability all week, so I figured we'd given up B&C. When DH was able to arrive, I checked just in case, and there were suddenly several openings in the next few days. Then, a few months ago, I'd forgotten to make ADRs, so of course, there was none available at B&C. Yet, one day, I sat at OKW, and checked, just curious-yup, now we could go! So don't give up.
In December. We are looking for evening reservations ( since we are adults that are eating later each night). I'm sure that one will become available, especially as our trip gets closer. Thanks for your concern. We're hopeful!
