never been there.

 

[leith78]

I've been to a couple. The food was never really memorable, but the atmosphere was always fun. I still have a PH shirt I got at the London location many years ago.

 

[dzee]

We have eaten there a few times. My DH has hats,t-shirts and sweatshirts from there that he still WEARS!! Have to admit we cheated and went on a few trips to the small shop outside the restaurant to buy them!! The food was average and if you asked me what I had to eat I couldn't remember but I could tell you we waited 2 hours to EAT IT!!!
The kids enjoyed all the movie props though! Here's an idea,considering the food is not all that memorable maybe they could just make it into a museum!?

2 Tablespoons of Parmesan cheese? Why bother?

I meant why bother with only 2 T of cheese. It's gotta be at least a 1/4 of a pound of cheese. 2 T would not even be a whiff.

Have been to PH a handful of times. Never had bad food or service. Just not a draw for us to make a point to go there.

I hear its a great place, but we have not been there. As much as John loves his sweets we don't go to any of the bakerys, buy ice cream (except once in a while at Ghirardelli) or eat dessert.

 

[Missy1961]

never been there either.

 

[Meriweather]

I love it
School bread...yum (although I have heard it has changed since last time I went)

 

[dzee]

We love that place!! It's a must every trip!! The Rice Cream is a family favorite!

 

[Luv2Roam]

I like their no sugar added chocolate mousee.
DH likes their Gravlox and Egg Sandwich. (Salmon and scrambled eggs)

But pretty much everything is good there.

[Missy1961]

If I eat in the Studios, that's where I eat. Nothing special, typical CS.

 

[Meriweather]

We have eaten there in the past, but not in years and years.
Not great, just ho hum.

 

[Pooh67_68]

Agree.

Nothing special, typical CS.

 

[Danauk]

We have eaten there a few times, OK, nothing special though.

 

[Luv2Roam]

Seems like they change their menu every now and then. But don't go out of my way to go there, and have not eaten there in quite some time. Can't even recall the last time.

I think my brother & I were discussing this one last week. Is this the one between Indy & Star Wars? Outdoors, but covered? Has ceiling fans for cooling? (haha) If so, we've been there. Agreed, typical CS.
