There are several threads with good information about Skipper Canteen but the short answer is that they aren't taking reservations.

As PP said, they aren't taking reservations. We had no problem at all getting in walking up to the podium about 20 minutes before they opened for lunch. (Just fyi in my opinion, it was the overpriced letdown of the trip. The food was fine-ish but vastly overpriced and under-portioned. The four of us left $120 poorer and still a bit hungry.).

NOTE1: We were not impressed by the quality of the food. It was if someone said, "If
were build a restaurant, they will eat." Well, we ate. We didn't truly relish the food, but
we spent money, which is what Disney wants. There is a nod to countries and areas which
are on the Jungle Cruise ride, but few instances where one can recognize the food of any
specific country due to its spices or preparation.
.
NOTE2: This review was done during the SOFT OPENING, so food quality and CM behavior may
change in the future. Contrary to what many had thought, or hoped, there are no alcohol drinks
at Skipper Canteen. At this review, lunch and dinner has the same 1-DDP Table Service menu.
At this time, FP's and ADR's are not being taken.
.
NOTE3: For a new eatery, I had thought the facility design would have more interesting and
food more unique. Although quite pleasant, there is little truly unique or fascinating. And,
even though the SERVERS continued Jungle Cruise gags, it isn't enough to warrant us going
back to the Canteen.

So in other words, another very ordinary restaurant in WDW! Just what they need!

True.

Melchar, I tried over and over again to make a future ADR and then suddenly noticed that there actually is a note on the WDW page there where you book the Skipper Canteen that they are taking same-day reservations only. (It was confusing, because you can go and try for the different dates, with no luck.)

We actually walked up and were seated immediately Easter week (though an odd time at 4:15). Loved Skipper Chris our waiter. Food was meh.
