Originally Posted By mouse of the south We love the 50's and the price was great, $65.00 for a family of four (one child) that price included two desserts. The fried chicken is great.

I hope ya'll like it as much as we do. OH, the wait staff can be annoying to some people, but its all in fun.

I have ordered Friend Chicken in many states at many fine (and some not so fine) establishments across our great Nation. 50's Prime Time has THE best anywhere, and yes I have had it at Knott's too for all you West Coasters who will ask. BUT DONT GO FOR THE CHICKEN...all of their dishes are as good as it gets and the deserts are to die for. Do this one, you won't regret it at all!!!!!!!!!!

Originally Posted By melissa_m I guess we just had a bad experience there. Well, not BAD, just not exciting. It was Thanksgiving day so the place was packed.

Maybe we'll give it another try this year.
