I cannot believe this took this long. It looks like you're eating in the mania queue.

Perhaps they needed to harden the fixtures to withstand the guest's predations. The wall appliques and even railings have to be replaced regularly when idle hands are able to come in contact with them.

The Disney website doesn't show prices, but it does specify that pricing is in the "$$$" range, of "$35 to $59.99 per adult."
Based on that, I expect it will be priced exactly the same as 'Ohana (a comparable family-style, non-character meal, that continues to be popular in spite of itself), at $59/adult. While Woody's looks really cute and would provide some nice options for my vegetarian daughter, an Applebee's-quality meal for my family of 4 (both kids over 9) at over $300 after tax and gratuity, is a hard no. If they went in the direction of Liberty Tree Tavern with the pricing ($39/adult), we could swallow it (both literally and figuratively), but since this is the first new thing in HS in years, I'm sure they're going to price it as high as possible.

If you've ever wondered what it would be like to eat in a ride queue, this is the restaurant experience for you!

Also everything is made out of cardboard and cheap plastic...because toys!

There’s nothing technically wrong with this. The west wing, portrait gallery, foyer, hall, and study in Be Our Guest could also easily be part of a Beauty and the Beast ride queue, for instance. Toy Story Land just has a really divisive aesthetic (which I also don’t terribly like, by the way).

Not sure what people were expecting thematic wise. Its a fairly limited theme to begin with.

it seems that people have more of an issue with the theming of Toy Story Land, as opposed to this restaurant specifically. This matches the rest of the land, and continues with the theme of a child building a playzone in their backyard. My friend who visited WDW for the first time in October loved this idea, and thought it was the most whimsical land out of all the parks. She immediately understood the concept that it was built by Andy, and felt it was a great idea for kids who love the IP. It took something they would do at home, and sprinkled the Disney Magic on top. If you don't like the concept for the land, that's totally cool. But it is thought out, and people immediately pick up on what Imagineering set out to do, so I call that a win.
I'm sure the food will be great too.

As has been pointed out many times, the main issue with the length to open was due to staffing during the pandemic. No reason to quickly build something to be ready to open if you cannot staff it.

I think it looks good...will be interesting to see once the hard goods are in place.

Just to be clear as well, the restaurant opens March 23 in case there is any confusion regarding the Feb 21 date. The latter is, as stated, when the reservations can start to be booked.

Honestly, I was expecting giant and beautifully-detailed replicas of the actual toy characters (e.g., Buzz, Woody, Rex, Mr. Potato Head) and their 3D accessories to be part of the decorating, with less reliance on "cardboard" art. When I was a kid and made a backdrop or a cardboard "house" for, say, my Barbies, I put actual Barbie furniture and Barbies inside -- not cardboard drawings of them.
Before the concept art, anyway, I was really hoping this would give guests the same sense of being "shrunk" that we used to feel in the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids playground -- which was an expectation I think many of us had of the Toy Story Land itself, and were disappointed that Disney wasn't successful in doing. From the photos and video we've seen so far, it looks like they definitely didn't try to recapture that lost opportunity with this restaurant, either -- or at least, they didn't go far enough.
