The Entertainment
But enough about the food. The thing that draws most visitors to Whispering Canyon Cafe is the wild and rowdy entertainment. It has been known around these parts that certain things can be done to enhance your Whispering Canyon experience. Cast members here have a reputation for stirring up some trouble and quite a lot of laughs while you eat. Ask for ketchup and see what happens. Need a napkin or a longer straw? You just might regret asking. (Please note that these gags are not the rule. It depends on your server and how busy the restaurant is at the time)
