You can call ahead if you dont want to wait. Remember the resturant sits outside the mall so its pretty much busy all day. I never waited no more than 10-20 to be seated when its extremely busy. It depends on how patient will your party of 7 be. The waiting area is quite comfortable as well.
I waited 40 minutes last Sunday and we arrived at 2pm.
It varies and depends on what time you arrive. 1 hr is normal wait. Many times we went shopping snd came back 20 min before estimated time. While waiting for the buzzer to go off we ask for the menu. It takes a while for them to take and bring your order.
It will be a good wait I dont know about 2 1/2 hours,I would say plan on 1 1/2 hours,You can check in and then walk around a bit
About 2.5 hours and they dont take reservations
