It wasn’t that great. The service was ok, but the food wasn’t very good. They seated us around the corner towards the back so we really didn’t get to experience the singing waiters even though there was seating available up front. I thought it would be fun for the kids, but the only thing they really enjoyed was the ice cream. Nothing was really bad, but nothing was really good either. My expectations were not that high for the food, but I thought the atmosphere and waiters be over the top. To make the experience worse you have to pay at the cashier located in the gift shop so all the kids can through a fit if you don’t buy the overpriced toys and trinkets. There are plenty of other places on the strip to try with better food.

We went as a family on a Friday evening. Not too busy and got a table right away. Really fun 50's decor. Nice server, but she seemed a little bored with her job. She sang beautifully. All the servers did. But, with it being a 50's theme, we expected 50's music. The servers sang whatever they wanted, including Country, show tunes, and Gospel. It would have been more fun to have them dressed in 50's outfits and singing 50's songs. The food was just okay, and a bit pricey for what we got, and they would not allow us to substitute something else for the fries.
