Biergarten

[Rekenna]

Not to start a war-since we are all a little opionated (me included) especially when it comes to dining (what's up with that?)-but what are the general thoughts on Biergarten?

We've never been-2 adults, 3 kids. Looks promising.

Thanks for the info!

This was actually one of our favorite meals last summer. The food is pretty good, the beer is great, and the entertainment is fun. My DD (4 1/2 at the time) loved dancing with the band. It is on our list for this year again!
Enjoy!

We haven't been there in a couple of trips, but we went for my wife's B-day a few years ago. Pretty good food, the beer was good, and we all enjoyed the entertainment. We'll go back again, on our next family trip.

The Biergarten is a must for us - sometimes twice in one trip. I've recommended it to people who insisted they did not like German food and they loved it!

I liked it a lot more than I expected to. The food was good and there were lots of choices. The other people at our table wouldn't have been my choice of dining companions (two couples one established the other new and fighting), but we are going back next week.

If you enjoy German foods - sausages, sauerkraut, spaetzel, etc - then I think you would like this place. We were pleasantly surprised last year and really loved it. The food was good, albeit a little heavy and sometimes greasy. The entertainment really makes the place though - those guys are so great! Will definately do this one again in the future - just want to get to some of the other places we haven't been before a return.

LOL How big are the tables? We are trying this for the first time in Jan. A party of 9.

It is a must do on every trip for us. Good food and great entertainment.

We're trying it in December....we've heard really good things about it

DH and I really love Beirgarten. I think the food is really good (but I have German in my blood), and there are a lot of choices. The entertainment is great and kids will really enjoy it. I really like the way they seat you with other groups. We have been with a big family group and so we were able to fill a whole table, but I really enjoy getting to meet new people. We have definitely met some characters! My favorites were two guys who were doing a beer tour of Epcot and they were already drunk and hilarious at 12:30!

We tried this for the first time on our last trip and we loved it!!

I wasn't sure about it, hence why it took 3 trips for us to get there, but it is somewhere we'll be going back to!

The food is good, I'm really picky and there was lots for me; DH is really adventurous and he found lots that was different too. We sat with another group of 4, to make up a table of 8. They were "biegarten" veterans, and were great fun. The entertainment is cool, DD got sung Happy Birthday in German.

It will be fun, good meal, you'll enjoy it

we eat there once every trip good food and show

I hate to be the one to rain on this parade, but our experience wasn't that great. Me and DS and the kids went to Italy for supper and DH and DB went to Germany. Within 5 min they both were back in Italy w/us claiming the food was awful! Now, granted, that was only 1 time, but I can't say that we'll go back!

Not the lightest or healthiest menu...but a nicely themed restaurant and we loved the food. We were there in November when it wasn't crowded. Not sure if it would be as nice in peak season with huge crowds. Good selections though. We would definitely go back!

[Rekenna]

Thanks everyone for the help-we're from Cincinnati so the food should be old hat to us!

Have a great day everybody!

[Disney fans..]

We are going in November and after reading all of the good reviews on the food, and entertainment we are all so excited!

[thumperbug]

Out of all my trips to WDW and all the restaurants we have dined at, we had never dined at Biergarten until our trip this past April and we really enjoyed it. MY FIL wouldn't eat with us. He said he had a bad experience (of course that was over 5 years ago).

We had a great time. My son enjoyed it (thanks to kid friendly choices), I loved it and of course my husband loved the beer.

The atmosphere was great as well as the entertaining. It is definitely worth trying.

Beautiful spot with fun atmosphere but horrible food.

[MarkC]

I guess no two people ever agree on everything but we think the food is very good. It's the one place we never miss and we'll be there in a about 10 days. It's the one place that almost makes you forget you're at Disney.

I decided to try this out on a whim.....and we go back every trip now!!

The first time we had table mates that were from Texas and were really fun to talk with (yeah, it was awkward at first, but one the HUSBANDS started talking it all fell into place....usually the women start the conversations, but this time it was the guys!)

The second time we went we sat with a local family and they just sat there -- I tried to talk to them, but it was looking like they would rather have root canals than speak....so I gave up!

From there on out, we've had great interactions with people from all over.....friendly once you get the ice broken.

Yeah, it is a bit strange to sit with strangers, but it's good food and great fun!!

DS (6 now) even likes to go down to the dance floor and do the polka!
