Biergarten Restaurant

The German food buffet (only option, no a La carte ordering) itself gets an average 3 stars, but what bumps it up to a 4 is the ambiance and the fun, live German band playing about every hour!The band's set is maybe 30 min and varies. When we were seated, we heard some crowd pleasing music with horns and cowbells and German drinking song tunes. By the time we had our entrees and desserts (I'm glad I didn't let my husband rush us out, like excuse me, why are you asking if we're ready for dessert when you still see me chewing my dinner?), the band came back on stage, and we got to see the xylophones, and the band engaged the crowd (little ones included) onto the dance floor. My daughters had a blast doing the chicken dance with the other diners. One of our favorite, impromptu moments of the trip!As far as the buffet goes, it had more variety than I was expecting: sausage, schnitzel, roasted chicken, potato pancakes with apple sauce and sour cream, green beans, meatballs, pretzel buns, soup, sauerkraut, and a carving station with pork. My kids had plenty to choose from, but there's also a kid section with chicken tenders, peas and carrots, and mac and cheese. There were about 6 dessert options, mini versions of chocolate pudding and cheesecake, pineapple, and apple strudel. $225 after tax and tip for 2 adults and 2 kids. If memory serves correctly, it's about $60 per adult and $30 per kid, and that includes milk and soft drinks.

A hefty price tag for the meal provided. What you pay for is the show and not the food. Biergarten Restaurant sits in Epcot and is a buffet style casual spot. It has what you would expect, beer, sausages and side food that pairs with it.Taste: 3/5 (beer is good though)Ambiance: 5/5Service: 4/5Value for money: 2/5The thing here is beer (which is added cost and the show). If you're looking for just good food, there are a number of places you can find around the park that would be better...!

When you leave Biergarden after going for the first time you will leave with one of three thoughts: (i) this place is fun;(ii) the place is annoying; or (iii) this place is fun and annoying (most likely).The Setting: When you walk through the doors you are transported from central florida to the heart of Oktoberfest in Munich at dusk. The space is stunning and Disney has done an excellent job here. Biergarden is one of Epcot's biggest restaurants, if not the biggest, and the tables are laid out in tiers in a semi-circle facing the stage so that everyone has a decent view of the entertainment. Dining here is communal, with groups being seated together and tables seating 10-12, which can either be not a big deal or a major nuance if you get seated with extra-friendly sort of folks and/or small children. Reservations are not terribly hard to come by even last minute, although you may wind up dining at an odd time.Around every hour there is live German entertainment which is a great value add to the price here. It can get loud but the band does not perform for very long. The restaurant itself is loud alone even without the music and rather chaotic- the layout of the space and the constant hustle and bustle of waitresses and patrons delivering and taking food is a lot, so those with sensory issues may want to avoid. Your girlfriend also may not be the happiest if you opt to take her to this establishment for dinner rather than one of the more romantic offerings like Le Cellier or one of the restaurants in the France pavilion. The drinks: The beer selection here is apparently very good (I am not a big beer drinker so I can't judge) and the thing to do is get the huge stein....So when in "Munich", go for it. The beer flights are also very popular. There is wine as well but nothing to talk about there.The food: This is a buffet, with the buffet having two sides which mostly mirror each other. The offerings are what you would expect: sausages, schnitzel, spaetzle, sauerkraut, german salads, and some American dishes peppered in. There is also a separate carving and kid's station. The last time we went, unfortunately, was at the end of the night (at 7:30; they close at 8). The first side of the buffet was shutting down when we arrived and the items on the remaining side were dry, lukewarm at best, and not being refilled. Carving station was also abandoned a few minutes after we got there. Good to know if we go back but I assumed that as they were seating people through 7:55 on the app, that the buffet would still be fully up and running til around 8:30. Wrong. 3/10 experience and definitely not worth the price.Previously, however, the food has been decent and ,even if not the best, certainly a novelty as German restaurants in our area are almost non-existent. But that was years ago and I don't know if our last experience was an anomaly or their new normal. The food, regardless of whether it's good or not, is VERY heavy and at around $50 a person you know you are going to eat a fair amount of it, - so I would plan this for a dinner visit expecting to leave in a food coma rather than for lunch when you still have half a day ahead of you.Will I go back? Yea I think I would give it another go if I was hungry enough and okay with the volume and having to talk to strangers. Is it a huge priority? No. The theming is great but so is San Angel Inn and I always find that experience to be way more relaxing.

We had never been here before as I had passed it on as another cheap Disney food spot. Well I was wrong. The entire dinner and experience was great. I loved having a buffet with so many options. I would recommend trying a little of everything. I think the only thing that wasn't the best was the carving station turkey as it was very dry. They have a live band as well which added a ton to the time there and was phenomenal. All in all I would very much recommend this place .

Amazing as always. Lunch at the biergarten in Germany, we enjoyed rotating selections of bratwurst, rotisserie chicken, pork schnitzel and a variety of salads. They also have Bavarian cheesecake and hand-pulled apple strudel, absolutely delicious. Great German entertainment for the family and lovely sweet service as you would expect from Disney.Walk it off around the world and enjoys the drinks, entertainment, and of course more food if you dare. Cheers

Reservation was not honored due to 300 plus group of VIPs being seated before us even though we had a reservation and already checked in

The show was fun, but it's a buffet and to be honest , it's basic and really not good. TBH the Mac salad and the pretzel bread is the reason I brought the review up to a 3star. End of the day, it's mostly salty meat, some sauerkraut that's ok, frozen peas and carrots, over dressed salad and dry schnitzels. The service was also quite nice.

We lucked out with a last-minute reservation (we were flying by the seat of our pants) right before a storm settled in as we were heading out of the park. It is buffett style so come in hungry and ready to fill up on some hearty good -- not much light fare here.The live band is a really cool touch, service was great, and food was really good. (Mileage may vary here, my kids hated pretty much everything - but they're impossible to please. That said this may not be the most kid-friendly option as the American kid go-to options are limited here.)In the grand scheme of things it was worth it - yes it's expensive, but for a buffet in Disney World it's about what you'd expect.

My family and I ended up having a reservation for Biergarten Restaurant on a Sunday around 1:30 in June. We had booked the reservation through the Disney World website a month in advance. Biergarten is located in the World Showcase at Epcot in Germany. I was hungry around 12:00 and ended up going earlier than our initial reservation. We missed the show that typically plays inside the Biergarten Restaurant!You'll want to dine when it's during the show time. There is a German band that plays during specific times throughout the day in the restaurant. I wouldn't recommend booking a reservation here unless the band is playing. The restaurant has long tables, and you may be seated with other families visiting Walt Disney World.The team member providing service to our table was awesome! She followed up with us several times, refilling our drinks and asking if we needed anything.The food was just okay. A lot of the food in the warming stations was cold. Perhaps it was because our family ate as soon as the restaurant opened, and the food had been sitting around for a while, but we were disappointed in the experience at Biergarten Restaurant. The Pretzel bread tasted stale and wasn't seasoned. Some of their food options include the followingRotisserie ChickenPork SchnitzelBratwurstSaladsBavarian CheesecakeApple SturdelPretzel BreadCurrent availability times for Biergarten isLunch: 12:00 P.M. to 3:55 P.M ($35.00 - $59.99 per adult)Dinner: 4:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M ($35.00 - $59.99 per adult)This restaurant does have a cancellation policy and modification policy. If you don't show up for the reservation or fail to cancel, you'll still be charged for the reservation.My goal is to try out every restaurant at Epcot! Biergarten was okay. I'd recommend it only if you're going to the show!

Excelente Atención y Variedad de platos deliciosos el Show musical te hace sentir como si estuvieras en un pequeño pueblo alemán..... Fue una experiencia inolvidable, Volvería a repetir
