50s Prime Time Cafe


dinerThe 50s Prime Time Cafe has guests step back in time to pastel laminate-clad kitchens with gooseneck lamps and black and white TVs that play vintage sitcoms like Leave it To Beaver and Father Knows Best while you dine.  As if you are sitting in Mom’s kitchen, your servers will nag you just like mom used to “take your elbows off the table” and “no dessert until you eat your vegetables”.  While the restaurant is usually crowded and often noisy, it offers a great time for all and is a favorite with kids. If you 50s-prime-time-cafe-01are looking for a great place and a homey meal like mom used to make – meatloaf, fried chicken, or pot roast – this is your stop. Those who are seeking desserts get to look through the old-timer ViewMaster for their sweet treats.
