    Default Biergarten..yes or no????

    I have made a reseveration for Biegarten and since then have seen alot of negative reviews on the food. Those of you have dined there please give me a yes or no!!! I thought the show might be fun and the food is a buffet style so I thought everyone in our group (5 adults and a toddler) would find something to eat, but if the food is not so good I have no problem finding another choice. There are so many places to pick from. What is it that people don't like about this restaurant?? or love??

    Thnaks much

    My husband and I love Biergarten. We go every trip. I did list it in my ADR line up and everybody poo pood it.
    I am taking my parents this year and they looked at the menu and didn't want to go.
    I say go. I really like it.

    This is one of my must dos... Actually got a couple reservations set up already, thinking about adding another. I don't much care for the show, but it's not bad, just not really much to speak of.

    It's on our "must do" list as well. My wife did not think she would like on our first trip, but ended up loving it. She had no problem finding something good to eat. I hope you do try it, and enjoy it

    It's a must do for us. I ate there for my first time last trip and loved it...The band was playing that day and my daughter & I danced.

    We're another yes! We've been twice (once for lunch and once for dinner) and both times we really enjoyed it.

    The food is good, I'm quite picky and had no trouble finding lots to eat, the band is fun, DH loves the beer and the atmosphere is cool.

    Another vote for Biergarten. Our group of 3 adults enjoyed it. I thought the price was a bit steep, but I liked the food and music so we will go again. We also liked Boma, Sannaa Tusker House.

    Another vote for YES!
    We really enjoyed the food and the entertainment.

    The only down side, and it's really not awful, is that they fill up their tables for 8 by placing two smaller groups together. In other words it's not a place for a romantic dinner for two!
    My DH and I ate there last September and ended up sitting next to a nice group from out west. We enjoyed talking with them, but I can see where others would not care for being in that situation.

    The food is fabulous as long as you like German Food. My DH and I love it. My DD14 not so much. The entertainment is awesome. You can't go wrong as long as you know what the food type is.

    I believe those that poo pood it, just don't like Sauerbraten Sauerdraut Spaetzle Schnitzel and
    Frikadellen .

    Have a great trip.

    We went and half of our group of 6 liked it, the other half didn't. The best part was we shared our table with two guys who own a restaurant down south. I think it is a good idea to check it out at least once!

    It's certainly not on my must do list. The show is energetic and fun. Your table mates can make or break it - on our last visit our table mates completely ignored us. The food was okay but wouldn't make me rush back.

    We went a couple of years ago and thought that the food was fine and the entertainment good. However, we will not go back unless we have enough people with us to fill a table. We were seated with a couple who I assume was on their honeymoon. They spoke no English and had their video camera set up taping themselves (and some of us) throughout their dinner. We were seated closer to the entertainment and therefore, further from the buffet. So, everytime someone wanted to get up and get something to eat we had to go around them or their camera. Awkward.

    We have gone here on every trip and have enjoyed it every time, even my kids. On our next trip my DH asked to skip this to try something new, I am a little hesitant, just because it has become such a staple place to go on our trips. So try it out, it is a fun place!

    I've only been once, but I loved it and 2 others with me thought it was ok, and DS hated it. You have to be a big fan of meats to enjoy Biergarten's food. I ate so much that I had the "meat sweats". I was groaning all night I ate so much schnitzel, franks, and sausages...
    Too many trips to keep track of now! Vacation WDW twice a year so any questions ask freely ☺️

    We ate there once, and the food was very bland. The desserts, however, were great. Maybe they were having an off night, but we tried many different things and nothing was good.

    I think it's worth a try. My husband and I both really liked it. It is true about who you are seated with. We were seated with two different groups and one was a family with kids who ignored us but the other couple were really interesting. They were Florida natives and were just there to eat dinner! They said they did it all the time.

    We've been there six times now and go every trip. Love the food (there's a great variety) and the entertainment.

    The whole "seated with others" thing I just tolerate. Typically people will either be friendly and talk to you or simply ignore you. Either way that's fine. It does seem strange, though, when you're brought in for an early seating and most of the place is empty, yet they still seat you at the same table that other people are already seated.

    My guess is that most of the people who don't like the food simply don't like German food. I think it is delicious and have never been disappointed.

    Biergarten has become my favorite restaurant for overall experience (value, food, entertainment, etc.) since the princesses ruined Akershus.

    You know, I don't think that I've ever seen the words 'gourmet' and 'German food' together in a sentence. I'm not a German food fan, so thanks for the info. I'd just east Spaetzle the entire time.

    Just a slightly funny story - I almost had to dine at a German restaurant three years ago for Mother's Day, as my MIL is German. But as luck would have it, I came down with shingles (odd because I was 37 and 8 months pregnant) and had to stay home. So I must really dislike German food if I was happier to get shingles than to dine in a German restaurant.

    We had passed Biergarten over when we made our ADR's for years because the menu seemed bland. WOW, were we mistaken !!! We decided to just give it a try last year because we were having a hard time getting ressies elsewhere. So glad we did. Even my DD14 who is an extremely picky eater loved it. We made sure to make an ADR there for our upcoming trip in October. This place is a hidden gem IMO.
