50's Prime Time Café

Official Disney Description:

Bop into a Fabulous Fifties kitchenette where Mom is waiting to serve you a heaping plate of comfort food. Enjoy some of your favorite classic sitcom Moms on television sets while you gulp down such favorites as meatloaf, fried chicken, pot roast and milk shakes. So, come in, relax and be prepared for Mom, in her loving way, to treat you as one of her own and encourage you to "join the clean plate club."

The Review: Hands down the 50's Prime Time Café is a client and family favorite. The atmosphere will take you back to the old days where the family always sat at the dinner table together (well they did on tv anyway) and Mom (your waiter) will bring your food straight to the table. The food here is always deliciously homemade and the atmosphere get's two thumbs-up.

Cold Stone Creamery

About Cold Stone Creamery

Experts in Innovation If it has anything to do with ice cream, it has everything to do with Cold Stone Creamery. From unique ice cream creations to smoothies, cakes and shakes – nobody serves up the ultimate indulgence like Cold Stone. It starts with using the highest quality ingredients and ends with our signature process for preparing your custom creation on a frozen granite stone.

Because the World Deserves Better Ice Cream Rest assured, our expertise in innovating indulgence didn’t just happen by accident. Our founders, Donald and Susan Sutherland, discovered their true calling in 1988 when, driven by their passion to serve the world's best ice cream, they opened the first Cold Stone Creamery in Tempe, Arizona. And now, more than 1,400 stores later, people have really warmed up to their cool idea.

Has It Really Been That Long? Through almost 20 years of serving up the finest ice cream, cakes, smoothies and shakes, some things have certainly changed. And frankly, some things haven’t. Ever since we opened our first store back in 1988, we’ve been serving up what we refer to as Creations™. In other words, if you want it in your ice cream – you get it. By mixing nuts, fruits and candy into our smooth and creamy ice cream on a frozen granite stone (around here, we call it “the stone”) we're actually more like ice cream artists. Over the years, we’ve stumbled on a few concoctions of our own that we call our Cold Stone Signature Creations. Ice cream for breakfast, a smoothie for lunch, and a sensible cake for dinner? – Who says you can’t eat this amazing ice cream for all three meals?

Golden Corral

This is a very good value place to eat, especially for families with kids as there is so much choice. You pay a fixed price for a meal and then it is an 'eat as much as you like' buffet. (Alcoholic and 'branded' drinks are extra, but coffee and soft drinks are included). The food is good quality and you can choose from steaks, chicken, different meat and fish based dishes, pizza, pasta, salad bar, ice cream, desserts, veg...you name it - it's there! Around $10 for dinner and $7 for breakfast. Also a good place to go if you have just flown in and need somewhere quick to eat before falling into bed (time difference can be quite gruelling on the first day) as you don't need to wait to be served or wait for your bill. You can just turn up, eat and go.
