We always go peak season (Christmas, 4th of July), and have never had more than a 10 minute wait at LUNCHTIME at Storytellers...but we usually go early around 11 a.m. or late-ish (2 p.m.). We hate making ressies, as we like to be flexible. Now dinnertime is probably a different story, but lunchtime is always do-able for us without ressies. Enjoy! It's a great place to enjoy a quiet lunch!
