50's Prime Time -- Dinner -- Table Service -- Hollywood Studios
I love 50's Prime Time. I love gluten free/dairy free fried chicken. I dream about it!!! So good. 50's Prime Time has been one of those places that I have become very spoiled with such a wonderful meal. I always contact them ahead of time, so that they can make sure to make the gluten free/dairy free fried chicken and dairy free mashed potatoes (my favorite on property by the way!). Yum!Sometimes, I get green beans and carrots and other times the collard greens with bacon (depends on my mood). I've only received gluten free gravy once...but I wish I could get it more often. That gravy was divine. Here's an example of the standard allergy friendly fried chicken:
 |
| Gluten free/dairy free fried chicken with olive oil mashed potatoes and veggies |
 |
| House made brownie with rice dream |
It's a lot of food! I usually have to give myself time for dessert, but I usually manage :) They have a house made brownie (thank goodness, there is still a brownie that I can eat on property) with rice dream and sometimes syrup. Just depends on the chef and day (and how full I am).I recently went (May 2012) with an ADR but no contact ahead of time regarding the allergies. I was just curious how they would handle things, especially since I was not really wanting fried chicken at the time. When the chef came out, he said that he could do several of the options including the blue plate special (which was some type of pork chops with an apple chutney of some type). I opted for the Boneless Pork Tenderloin. It normally comes with mashed potatoes (which I really really wanted), but they said they could do a brown rice. Boring, but I decided to try it. I also got green beans and carrots.

| Boneless Pork Tenderloin with rice and veggies |
When the entree arrived, it had a nice marker in it that noted allergy. That was the first time I'd seen that, and I appreciated that. That made it fairly clear that it was for me. I hadn't asked for mushrooms, but they arrived on my plate (I think some variation of mushrooms were on the regular dish). I am not a big mushroom fan, so I gave these to my mom, who really liked them. The boneless pork tenderloins were good. Tender, flavorful, nothing fancy though. I like their veggies there. The brown rice had cranberries in it. Not bad, gave it a little bit of a zing. But, I still would have liked to have had the mashed potatoes. Oh well.For dessert, I got the same house made brownie with rice dream and chocolate syrup; however, the server brought it too me with the m&m's on them, which are not safe! eek!!! They were all around the dish, not really on the brownie or the ice cream, so I gambled and had my mom give me a clean spoon and gave her all of the offending areas. I didn't get sick, so that was good. I think it was just a miscommunication and the server seemed a bit new.Overall, I love 50's Prime Time. Even when I didn't give any notice, I still found the food to be pretty good. Next time though, I'm going to plan ahead and make sure to ask for mashed potatoes!Also, don't forget to have a good time while you're there.....I love the 50's PT hijinks. I was once there with a friend who was so full from the meal that he joked he couldn't possibly eat anything for dessert except for water. Well, don't say things too loudly...Our Cousin Tom (one of my favorite servers) brought out a big o'le bowl of water for his dessert. Too funny!
50's PT always gets a solid 9 out of 10 from me. Love, love, love this place. Just make sure you contact them ahead of time (by contacting WDW Special Diets), and they will be able to accommodate you beautifully.
