Walk up reservations generally available or no?

We will be a family of five, going the day after Memorial Day. We hoped for Beaches and Cream about 530 or so one evening, as we are staying at Boardwalk. I went for it first at 60+2, and for the third trip trying to score this reservation I failed. How hard are walk up reservations here? Anyone have success with a bigger group and popular time?

If its not available on the app then its not likely you'd be getting in by walking up.

Keep checking.

Check day of as well. People cancel, plans change, andsometimes the restaurant puts more availability on.

Walk up has been replaced by wait list on the app. It doesn't hurt to ask.

Chances are slim, but worth trying, you can always head on over to the Dolphin and visit The Fountain. While I think B&C is great, the small size and challenge of getting an ADR just isn't always worth it.

Also try looking for 6, since the dining reservation robot hates odd numbers.

Much better ice cream there .

Just a reminder, you don’t need an ADR for the takeout window and there are seats all around. As well you can try for a walk up and the time needed will be based on the size of your party. As a solo walk up I waited about 5 minutes.

We've had luck with parties of 2. Consider setting an alert on a dining website. As NYCgrrl mentioned, you can always go to the takeout window if you are just interested in ice cream. Every ice cream item on the menu is available for take-out other than the Kitchen Sink.
