I went and had the Golden Fried Chicken when I went. It was very good.

Best. Meatloaf. Ever.

The fried chicken and the meat loaf are infreakencredible. But the best thing about Prime Time is the cast members. I went there on 1-9-5 and our waiter was the best. He made my daughters friend go wash his hands, he made my two oldest daughters (13,11)sing for everyone when they didn’t finish their lunch all while my youngest daughter (3) got away with murder because she was his favorite. Hands down Prime Time most entertaining restaurant at Disney and the good food doesn’t hurt either.

I think the food itself is eeehhhh... But the atmosphere and afore mentioned staff are what make this restaurant a fun experience that everyone should do at least once.

This is one of the best restaurants on property actually. I dont think I have missed a meal there since I discovered the place a few years back. I find the food there to be incredibly good, my personal favorites are the Pork Tenderloin and the Pot Roast. They had a pasta and shrimp dish there which was pretty incredible, but it has been replaced with a Seafood Primavera dish that I have yet to try. Priority seatings for this place are a REALLY good idea. I have been there when they were completely booked up for the evening and not accepting any walk ins at all. Have a great time!!! Belle

It is one of the BEST restauarants on property. The food is delicious.

I always get the steak or fried chicken. The accompanying vegetables are great!

Meat loaf and pot roast are the items the rest of my fmaily gets, and they always agree that theirs too is the best.

I think the food is meh, but it's supposed to be - it's comfort food! It's not bad by any means, but it's not culinary either. If you like meatloaf and pot roasts, it's fine.

The atmosphere and the cast members make the place, though. Despite our so-so feeling about the food, we've been there several times because the cast members are so funny...

I heartily recommend it!
As Laurie has said, it can be summed up as "comfort food". There is a good variety, but the basic theme is home cooking. Lunch is fine, but my preference is for dinner there. Of course, the main attraction is the theme and CM/host interaction. Where else does the waitstaff stop and show you someone elses' meal prior to delivering it, or refusing to give you dessert until you finish your vegetables. As with any "interactive theater" like this, the experience vary's with the server and also the environment. Sometimes the most fun comes in watching events at other tables in your room.

With that said, the food is not gourmet. Some people just don't like the idea of fried chicken, meatloaf and pot roast on a restaurant menu. They also don't understand smores the size of a laptop and Dad's sundae which is more than enough...

See the following for an example of the lunch menu, you can also find a dinner menu on this site:

Do make PS as this place always fills up, even in off peak.

It's definitely a unique restaurant. It was a little awkward just being my husband and I when we went, but it would be hilarious to take a big group there.

Best Pot Roast you will ever eat in your life. That's all.

 

[Indy95]

Awesome food!! I'm not a pot roast kind of guy, but I've been getting the fried chicken ever since it's been put on the menu. Delicious! Not to mention the atmosphere and cast are the best that you're likely to find anywhere!

 

[TikiBeckie]

BEST pot roast ever....seriously...the food is great! I make a point to go there each time I visit Disney!

 

[Mom's the word]

Ummmmm . . . S'mores anyone?

 

[slappy magoo]

To say this is one of the best restaurants at MGM is like bragging that you were the valedictorian of night school...really, what was the competition? :lol:

Thanks I'm here all week! Don't forget to tip your wait staff!

Honestly, I think it's good, not great, but I do enjoy eating there and intend to go there again. Especially the aforementioned fried chicken and smores for dessert. Hard to mess those up.

 

[Mouse's Magic]

The fried chicken is the best chicken I have ever had. SOOOOO JUICY!

You sounds like a person who's never dined at The Hollywood Brown Derby.
