The "California Crazy" architectural style of Dockside Diner (being shaped like a boat) was very popular in the 1930’s and 40’s, and was designed to grab your attention. If this walk-up counter diner was placed anywhere else, it would do just that – but at Hollywood Studios, in a lagoon, and across from a giant dinosaur... it seems right at home.

Offering an all outdoor seating area, the Dockside Diner (formerly "Min and Bill’s Dockside Diner") features a couple of warm theme-park standard fast food items (hot dogs with different toppings and such), and is usually a location where you can grab a quick beer without waiting in a long line.
