Atmosphere:
Okay for Children: Okay for Children?: Definitely. We had fun being
scolded by 'Cousin Henrietta' and having 'Mom' get mad at me for not finishing my veggies.
Okay for Couples: Yes
Be Sure to Try: The onion rings were great! So was the chicken pot pie.
General tips: More economical for lunch but even that is pricey. We came
in at 11am when they opened and by 11:30 the restaurant was pretty filled up
already.
TheMouseForLess tips: The servings were probably big enough to share unless you are a large eater. I wanted to finish the delicious onion rings but needed
to save room for the pot pie. It was too big for me to finish and that's why
I left veggies on the plate and got 'scolded'...couldn't finish them all and
I love veggies. I hardly had room for the dessert, but since I was on the
Dining Plan, I ordered it and ate a few bites. Daughter could only finish
about 1/2 her food too.
Extra Comments: We enjoyed the interaction with the waitress. The food
was good. I would like to try some of the other items on the menu, but will
try the restaurant for dinner next time. The food is a bit on the
'substantial' side for rushing around afterwards in the park. Guess I think of the things they offer at lunch, meatloaf, potpie, pot roast, fried chicken, as more of a dinner thing but it tasted good. The setting is great. We sat at a lunchbar attached to a kitchen counter to watch TV since it was just two of us. Lots of the things in the restaurant looked like my mother's home.

Okay for Children: Yes. A dinner table with a TV, what could be
better!
Okay for Couples: Sure, especially if you want to relive sitting in
your Mom's (or Grandma's) Kitchen
Be Sure to Try: The S'Mores
General tips: We did have an ADR for 11 am, but they were taking
walk-ins at that point as well. This usually isn't the case later
in the day.
TheMouseForLess tips: The entrees are HUGE. We have eaten meals here in
the past and have always shared. You also don't have to order off
the adult menu, if you are an adult. My 16 year old got the Build-A-
Sundae off the Kids menu.
Extra Comments: It was great getting a picture of my 16 year old
with his nose against the wall for spitting spitballs at his brother.

Rings, $5; 2 pot roast meals ($14 each); Chicken Caesar salad ($13); Kids'

Atmosphere: 5
Okay for Children: Absolutely - lot of interesting stuff to look at;
televisions playing through the meal; and some of the waiters can be a lot
of fun
Okay for Couples: As long as you are not looking for quiet and romantic -
although I suppose you could spark a little romance here if you try ;-)
Be Sure to Try: We really enjoyed the pot roast meal - very homey; and the
onion rings were amazing!
General tips: Definitely make an ADR for this meal if you are going when it
was busy. We had an ADR and still waited about 20 minutes for a table,
since the restaurant was so busy
TheMouseForLess tips: I think you could probably share meals here. We had
skipped breakfast and had a wait for lunch, so we were really hungry. We
normally would not have ordered the appetizers, but we did, ate them, and
pretty much cleaned our plates. We all shared Dad's Super Sundae, and left
some of it behind.
Extra Comments: We have eaten here several times, but this was the first
time for Grandmom. We had really hoped for more interaction with our
server, but he had so many tables, he barely had time to give us his name.
I think that joking around they do is a big part of the atmosphere here, so
we were a little disappointed that he kind of left us alone.

Atmosphere: 5
Okay for Children: Yes...but only if they are willing to sit thru a long
meal...and play along.
Okay for Couples: Yes...lots of fun...but not romantic!
Be Sure to Try: Everything has a great homecooked, comfort food feel.
General tips: ADR's are a must have if you don't like waiting 2 hours to be
seated
TheMouseForLess tips: The MYW Dining Plan is our hero!
Extra Comments: Wait staff seem sensitive as to if you are going to play
along or not...and they will probably just leave you alone for the most part if
you don't want to goof off, but what fun would that be? Oh yea...and if you are
in a hurry to get your food and get out...you probably don't want to eat
here...I think our meal took about 2 hours. We had a ball but it may not work for everyone.
